This paper presents a method for analyzing the stiffness of full and low DOF (degree of freedom) planar parallel manipulators with serially connected legs. The individual stiffness of each leg is obtained by applying reciprocal screws to the leg twist using passive joints and elastic elements consisting of actuators and links. Because the legs are connected in parallel, the manipulator stiffness is determined by summing the individual leg stiffness values. This method does not require the assumption that springs should be located along reciprocal screws and is applicable to a planar parallel manipulator with a generic or singular configuration. The stiffness values of three planar parallel manipulators with different DOFs are analyzed. The numerical results are confirmed using ADAMS S/W.

Within the framework of anisotropic thermoelasticity, the problem of an interlaminar crack in a laminated fiber-reinforced composite subjected to a uniform heat flow is investigated. Under a state of generalized plane deformation, dissimilar anisotropic half-spaces with different fiber orientations are considered to be bound together by a matrix interlayer containing the crack. The interlayer models the matrix-rich interlaminar region of the fibrous composite laminate. Based on the flexibility/stiffness matrix approach, formulation of the current crack problem results in having to solve two sets of singular integral equations for temperature and thermal stress analyses. Numerical results are obtained, illustrating the parametric effects of laminate stacking sequence, relative crack size, crack location, crack surface partial insulation, and fiber volume fraction on the values of mixed mode thermal stress intensity factors.

The eigen-equation of a wave traveling over repetitive structure is derived directly form the stiffness matrix formulation, in a form which can be used for the case of the cross stiffness submatrix $K_{ab}$ being singular. The weighted adjoint symplectic orthonormality relation is proved first. Then the general method of solution is derived, which can be used either to find all the eigensolutions, or to find the main eigensolutions for large scale problems.

The plane elasticity problem of collinear cracks in a layered medium is investigated. The medium is modeled as bonded structure constituted from a surface layer and a semi-infinite substrate. Along the bond line between the two dissimilar homegeneous constituents, it is assumed that as interfacial zone having the functionally graded, nonhomogeneous elastic modulus exists. The layered medium contains three collinear cracks, one in each constituent material oriented perpendicular to the nominal interfaces. The stiffness matrix formulation is utilized and a set of homogeneous conditions relevant to the given problem is readily satisfied. The proposed mixed boundary value problem is then represented in the form of a system of integral equations with Cauchy-type singular kernels. The stress intensity factors are defined from the crack-tip stress fields possessing the standard square-root singular behavior. The resulting values of stress intensity factors mainly address the interactions among the cracks for various crack sizes and material combinations.

이 논문은 부분공간 시스템 확인기법을 이용하여 전단빌딩의 강성행렬과 부재의 강성을 추정하는 기법을 소개한다. 시스템 행렬은 입력-출력 데이터로 구성된 행켈행렬을 LQ 분해와 특이치 분해를 통해 추정한다. 추정된 시스템 행렬은 닮음 변환을 통해 실제 좌표축으로 변환하고, 변환된 시스템 행렬로부터 강성행렬을 계산한다. 추정된 강성행렬의 정확성과 안정성은 행켈행렬의 크기에 따라 변한다. 전단빌딩의 기저 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 행켈행렬의 크기에 따른 강성행렬의 추정 오차 곡선을 구한다. 오차 곡선을 이용하여 목표 정확도 수준에 부합하는 행켈행렬의 크기들을 결정한다. 이렇게 선택된 행렬의 크기들 중에서 부분공간 시스템 확인의 계산비용을 고려하여 보다 적절한 행렬의 크기를 결정할 수 있다. 결정된 크기의 행켈행렬을 이용하여 강성행렬을 추정하고 추정된 강성행렬로부터 부재의 강성을 추정한다. 제안된 방법을 손상 전후의 5층 전단빌딩 수치 예제에 적용하여 타당성을 검증한다.

노후 구조물의 안전진단을 위하여 동적재하시험을 수행하고 그 결과를 유한요소모델과 같은 해석적 모델과 결합하여 기존구조물의 강성평가 및 파손부위 색출에 적용하고 있는데 측정점의 제한성과 유한요소모델의 많은 자유도가 측정데이타를 유한요소모델과 연계하는데 커다란 문제점으로 대두된다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소모델과 같이 많은 자유도를 갖는 구조계의 해석적 모델을 측정데이타와 결합하기 위하여 축약된 좌표계에서 구조계의 동강성행렬(dynamic stiffness matrix)표현방법을 제시하였다. 유한요소모델로부터 좌표계를 축약시 필연적으로 발생되는 주파수의존성(frequency dependency)을 고려하기 위하여 주파수영역에서 Chebyshev다항식으로 축약된 동강성행렬을 표시하였고 특이점에서 발생되는 악조건(ill-condition)을 극복하기 위하여 특이해분리(singular value decomposition)기법을 사용하였다. 제시된 방법의 검증을 위하여 간단한 구조계에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 본 방법으로 수립된 구조계의 동적모델은 축약이전의 전체계에 대한 동적특성을 비교적 정확히 유지하고 있고 일반적으로 사용되는 정적축약 형태의 수학적 모델보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 비중첩 영역 분할 기법을 바탕으로 한 병렬해석의 정확도 분석이 수행된다. Tak 등(2013)에 의해 제안된 이 방법에서 분할된 하위도메인들은 서로 중첩되지 않으며 계면요소(interfacial element)라 불리는 가상연결유한요소를 통해 서로 간의 관계가 결정된다. 이 접근법의 주요 장점은 영역 분할시 floating 도메인에서 발생할 수 있는 특이강성행렬(singular stiffness matrix)을 계면요소의 결합을 이용하여 가역행렬(invertible matrix)로 변환할 수 있다는 것과 기존의 FETI법에 비하여 해석시간과 스토리지(storage) 사용을 줄일 수 있다는 것이다. 반면에 3개 이상의 하위도메인들이 한 점에서 연결되는 경우를 의미하는 cross point에서는 해석의 정확도가 저하되는 경향이 나타났다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 새로운 비중첩 영역 분할기법에 대해 다양한 영역분할의 경우에 따라 발생하는 하나의 cross point에 접촉하는 하위도메인의 개수에 따른 정확도 분석이 수행되고 정확도가 저하되는 원인분석 및 대책이 논의된다.

Nonlinear equations of structures are generally solved numerically by the iterative solution of linear equations. However, this iterative procedure diverges when the tangent stiffness is ill-conditioned which occurs near limit points. In other words, a major challenge with simple iterative methods is failure caused by a singular or near singular Jacobian matrix. In this paper, using the Newton-Raphson algorithm based on Davidenko's equations, the iterations can traverse the limit point without difficulty. It is argued that the propose algorithm may be both more computationally efficient and more robust compared to the other algorithm when tracing path through severe nonlinearities such as those associated with structural collapse. Two frames are analyzed using the proposed algorithm and the results are compared with the previous methods. The ability of the proposed method, particularly for tracing the limit points, is demonstrated by those numerical examples.

The scaled boundary finite element method is extended to evaluate the dynamic stress intensity factors and T-stress with a numerical procedure based on the improved continued-fraction. The improved continued-fraction approach for the dynamic stiffness matrix is introduced to represent the inertial effect at high frequencies, which leads to numerically better conditioned matrices. After separating the singular stress term from other high order terms, the internal displacements can be obtained by numerical integration and no mesh refinement is needed around the crack tip. The condition numbers of coefficient matrix of the improved method are much smaller than that of the original method, which shows that the improved algorithm can obtain well-conditioned coefficient matrices, and the efficiency of the solution process and its stability can be significantly improved. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the increased robustness and efficiency of the proposed method in both homogeneous and bimaterial crack problems.

This paper investigates the characteristics of unstable behaviour and critical buckling load by joint rigidity of framed large spatial structures which are sensitive to initial conditions. To distinguish the stable from the unstable, a singular point on equilibrium path and a critical buckling level are computed by the eigenvalues and determinants of the tangential stiffness matrix. For the case study, a two-free node example and a folded plate typed long span example with 325 nodes are adopted, and these adopted examples' nonlinear analysis and unstable characteristics are analyzed. The numerical results in the case of the two-free node example indicate that as the influence of snap-through is bigger; that of bifurcation buckling is lower than that of the joint rigidity as the influence of snap-through is lower. Besides, when the rigidity decreases, the critical buckling load ratio increases. These results are similar to those of the folded-typed long span example. When the buckling load ratio is 0.6 or less, the rigidity greatly increases.
