In this study, the reliability analysis of internal and external stabilities of Reinforced Soil Walls (RSWs) under static and seismic loads are investigated so that it can help the geotechnical engineers to perform the design more realistically. The effect of various variables such as angle of internal soil friction, soil specific gravity, tensile strength of the reinforcements, base friction, surcharge load and finally horizontal earthquake acceleration are examined assuming the variables uncertainties. Also, the correlation coefficient impact between variables, sensitivity analysis, mean change, coefficient of variation and type of probability distribution function were evaluated. In this research, external stability (sliding, overturning and bearing capacity) and internal stability (tensile rupture and pull out) in both static and seismic conditions were investigated. Results of this study indicated sliding as the predominant failure mode in the external stability and reinforcing rupture in the internal stability. First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) are applied to estimate the reliability index (or failure probability) and results are validated using the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) method. The results showed among all variables, the internal friction angle and horizontal earthquake acceleration have dominant impact on the both reinforced soil wall internal and external stabilities limit states. Also, the type of probability distribution function affects the reliability index significantly and coefficient of variation of internal friction angle has the greatest influence in the static and seismic limits states compared to the other variables.

Calculating the seismic displacement of retaining walls has an important role in the optimum design of these structures. Also, studying the effect of surcharge is important for the calculation of active pressure as well as permanent displacements of the wall. In this regard, some researchers have investigated active pressure; but, unfortunately, there are few investigations on the seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. In this research, using limit analysis and upper bound theorem, permanent seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge was analyzed for sliding and overturning failure mechanisms. Thus, a new formulation was presented for calculating yield acceleration, critical angle of failure wedge, and permanent displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. Also, effects of surcharge, its location and other factors such as height of the wall and internal friction angle of soil on the amount of seismic displacements were investigated. Finally, designing charts were presented for calculating yield acceleration coefficient and angle of failure wedge.

A sliding mode fuzzy control (SMFC) algorithm is applied to design a controller for a benchmark problem on a wind- excited building. The structure is a 76-story concrete office tower with a height of 306 meters, hence the wind resistance characteristics are very important for the serviceability as well as the safety. A control system with an active tuned mass damper is assumed to be installed on the top floor. Since the structural acceleration is measured only at ,limited number of locations without measurement of the wind force, the structure of the conventional continuous sliding mode control may have the feed-back loop only. So, an adaptive least mean squares (LMS) filter is employed in the SMFC algorithm to generate a fictitious feed-forward loop. The adaptive LMS filter is designed based on the information of the stochastic characteristics of the wind velocity along the structure. A numerical study is carried out. and the performance of the present SMFC with the ,adaptive LMS filter is investigated in comparison with those of' other control, of algorithms such as linear quadratic Gaussian control, frequency domain optimal control, quadratic stability control, continuous sliding mode control, and H/sub ∞///sub μ/, control, which were reported by other researchers. The effectiveness of the adaptive LMS filter is also examined. The results indicate that the present algorithm is very efficient .

This paper proposes a novel guidance law based on the block backstepping sliding mode control and extended state observer (ESO), which also takes into account the autopilot dynamic characteristics of the near space interceptor (NSI), and the impact angle constraint of attacking the maneuvering target. Based on the backstepping control approach, the target maneuvers and the parameter uncertainties of the autopilot are regarded as disturbances of the outer loop and inner loop, respectively. Then, the ESO is constructed to estimate the target acceleration and the inner loop disturbance, and the block backstepping sliding model guidance law is employed, based on the estimated disturbance value. Furthermore, in order to avoid the "explosion of complexity" problem, first-order low-pass filters are also introduced, to obtain differentiations of the virtual control variables. The stability of the closed-loop guidance system is also proven, based on the Lyapunov theory. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed guidance law can not only overcome the influence of the autopilot dynamic delay and target maneuvers, but also obtain a small miss distance.

In this study, active control system using sliding mode control method is presented to achieve the gust response alleviation of a three-dimensional flexible wing model. For this purpose, aeroservoelastic model which is composed of aeroelastic plant, control surface actuator model, and gust model depicting the atmospheric turbulence is formulated in the state space. The aerodynamic force generated by the motion of a trailing edge control surface of a flexible wing is made use of as control means. An active control system combining state feedback sliding mode controller and state estimator based on measured responses such as wing tip acceleration and wing root strain is designed for gust response alleviation of a flexible wing aeroservoelastic model. The performance of the controller designed is demonstrated via numerical simulation for the representative flexible wing model under gust loading conditions.

비탈면 붕괴는 크게 내적요인과 외적요인으로 분류할 수 있다. 내적요인은 토층 깊이, 사면경사, 흙의 전단강도 등의 기존에 비탈면의 형성과 함께 내재 되어있는 공학적 요인이며, 외적요인은 지진과 같은 하중이다. 이때 최대가속도(PGA), 최대속도(PGV), Arias계수(I), 고유주기(T_p), 스펙트럼 가속도(S_aT=1.0) 등은 지진의 외적요인으로 대변되는 값이다. 특히, 최대지반가속도(peak ground acceleration, PGA)는 지진의 지반 운동 크기를 정의하는 가장 대표적인 값이지만 동일한 최대 지반가속도 값을 가지는 진동이라도 지진의 지속시간에 따라 달라지는 사면에서의 변위를 충분히 고려하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 인공사면을 대상으로 2차원 평면변형률 조건의 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 다양한 지진 시나리오의 PGA를 0.2g로 스케일링하여 적용했을 때 비탈면에서 발생하는 응답특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 비탈면의 상층부와 하층부의 응답은 활동면 발생 여부에 따라 차이를 보이며, 입력 지진파의 외적요인 보다는 소성변형을 유발시킨 진동 특성의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

현재 옹벽의 배면 동적토압을 산정할 때 주로 등가정적해석법인 Mononobe-Okabe 식이 이용되고 있다. 하지만 이식은 벽체와 뒤채움 지반간의 동적상호작용을 고려하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 벽체와 뒤채움 지반간의 동적상호작용을 분석하기 위하여 건조 사질토로 뒤채움한 옹벽에 대하여 진동대 시험을 수행하였다. 벽체 단위중량, 입력가속도의 진폭 그리고 벽체 바닥면 거칠기를 변화시키면서 이들 각 인자가 동적토압에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 벽체의 활동속도가 작은 경우에는 동적토압과 관성력간은 180도 위상차를 가졌지만 활동속도가 큰 경우에는 동적토압에 관성력과 동일한 위상을 가지는 작은 정점이 발생하였다. 동적토압의 크기는 벽체가속도와 벽체단위중량의 크기에 비례하였다. 또한 Mononobe-Okabe 방법으로 계산된 동적토압은 측정된 동적토압의 상한값으로 나타났다.

지진시 성토사면의 잔류변위 예측에 가장 많이 사용되는 방법은 Newmark변위법이다. Newmark변위법은 지진시 강체원호의 관성력에 의한 미끌어짐량을 산정하는 방법으로 한계상태평형이론에 근거하여 산정된다. 따라서, 원호의 미끌어짐이 발생하지 않는 항복가속도 이하의 지진이 발생하는 경우 잔류변위가 발생하지 않는다고 가정한다. Newmark 변위법은 최초 제안 이후 지진응답해석기법의 결과를 도입하는 방향으로 개선되었다. 본 논문에서는 방조제 예제 단면에 대해서 Newmark변위법의 적용방법과 비선형응답이력 해석을 통한 내진성능평가 결과의 차이를 살펴보았다. 검토 결과, 설계안전율이 큰 방조제 제체에서는 Newmark변위법에 의한 잔류변위는 거의 발생하지 않았다. 반면, 비선형 응답이력해석의 결과는 비교적 유의미한 잔류변위를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

Considering the guidance and control problem of the near space interceptor (NSI) during the terminal course, this paper proposes a three-channel independent integrated guidance and control (IGC) scheme based on the backstepping sliding mode and finite time disturbance observer (FTDO). Initially, the three-channel independent IGC model is constructed based on the interceptor-target relative motion and nonlinear dynamic model of the interceptor, in which the channel coupling term and external disturbance are regarded as the total disturbances of the corresponding channel. Then, the FTDO is introduced to estimate the target acceleration and control system loop disturbances, and the feed-forward compensation term based on the estimated values is employed to effectively remove the effect of disturbances in finite time. Subsequently, the IGC algorithm based on the backstepping sliding mode is also given to obtain the virtual control moment. Furthermore, a robust least-squares weighted control allocation (RLSWCA) algorithm is employed to distribute the previous virtual control moment among the corresponding aerodynamic fins and reaction jets, which also takes into account the uncertainty in the control effectiveness matrix. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed IGC method can obtain the small miss distance and smooth interceptor trajectories.

In this paper, we suggest a vision-based lane change control system, which can be applied on the straight road, without additional sensors such as a yaw rate sensor and a lateral accelerometer. In order to reduce the image processing time, we predict a reference line position during lane change using the lateral dynamics and the inverse perspective mapping. The sliding mode control algorithm with a boundary layer is adopted to overcome variations of parameters that significantly affects a vehicle`s lateral dynamics and to reduce chattering phenomenon. However, applying the sliding mode control to the system with a long sampling interval, the stability of a control system may seriously be affected by the sampling interval. Therefore, in this paper, a look ahead offset has been used instead of a lateral offset to reduce the effect of the long sampling interval due to the image processing time. The control algorithm is developed to follow the desired trajectory designed in advance. In the design of the desired trajectory, we take account of the constraints of lateral acceleration and lateral jerk for ride comfort. The performance of the suggested control system is evaluated in simulations as well as field tests.
