Dynamic and static behaviors of a three-dimensional catenary system for a high-speed railway are analyzed by using the finite element method. Considering tensions in the contact wire and the messenger wire, we drive the equations of motion for the catenary system. These equations are for the longitudinal, transverse, vertical and torsional motions. After establishing the weak form, the weak forms are spatially discretized with newly defined two-node beam elements. With the discretized equations, a finite element computer program is developed for the static and dynamic analyses. The static deflections of the catenary system, which are important for good contact between the pantograph and the contact line, are computed when the gravity is applied. On the other hand, we analyze the natural frequencies and the corresponding natural modes of the catenary system. The dynamic responses of the system are also investigated when applying a load to the contact line. For verification of the developed finite element program, vibrations of the catenary system are measured and they are compared to computed time responses.

A high speed deburring machine was developed based on the analysis of magnetic contact force, forced vibration, stiffness and deformation of the structure. After 3 dimensional CATIA modelling, the stiffness and the deformation properties of the deburring machine in static and dynamic condition using finite element method were analyzed. Both static and dynamic simulation results showed that designed high speed deburring machine was well satisfied the stability properties at the operating condition. we have performance test program for the real system to evaluate the simulation results.

Plane steel portal frames, with pitched roof, exposed to fire, are examined. First, a determinate frame is analysed by hand. For flexible columns and shallow roof, snap-through occurs before plastic hinges mechanism is formed. An indeterminate frame with shorter columns and taller roof is also analysed by hand. Then, the same frame is simulated by a truss and a nonlinear static analysis is performed by use of a short computer program. The results of computer analysis by use of truss model are compared with those of analysis by hand and a satisfactory approximation between them is observed.

Brake judder, one of low Sequency vibrations in brake system is determined by the excitation of Brake Torque Variation (BTV). The largest contributor to BTV is disc thickness variation. In this study, the static loads of brake torque at Suspension Mounting Points (SW) are obtained by the quasi-static analysis using DADS. The dynamic loads with frequency of BTV at SW are derived from correlation between forced vibration analysis with static loads and brake test results. And the accelerations at steering wheel were analyzed by forced vibration analysis with dynamic loads using commercial finite element program MSC/NASTRAN so that vibration characteristics of vehicle due to brake judder were investigated. Reliability of analysis results was verified through comparing the brake test results. Also, a parametric study with natural frequencies of frame, such as the 1st torsional mode and 1st bending mode, was conducted to reduce vibration amplitudes. As a result we could detect frame natural frequency conditions to improve vibration characteristics and obtained the frame model to reduce vibration amplitude.

The bead is used to provide properly restraining force in the sheet metal forming process. This bead process includes bending and geometrical non-linearity, and affects the state of binderwrap. Therefore, the analysis of bead process is very important to obtain the desired formability. In this paper, the research about the influence of the punch stroke of bead on the draw-bead process was conducted. Results from the analysis will give useful information to the effective tool design of blank forming process. To analyze the bead process, and elasto-plastic finite element formulation is constructed from the equilibrium equation and the considered boundary conditions involved a proper contact condition. The static-explicit finite element method as a numerical method for the analysis was applied to the analysis program code. It was found that this method could solve too much computation time and convergence problem owing to high non-linearity of bead forming process.

The seismic responses of a building are affected by the base soil conditions. In this study, linear time-history seismic analysis and nonlinear pushover static seismic analysis were performed to estimate the base shear forces of 3-, 5-, and 7-story steel buildings, considering the rigid and soft soil conditions. Foundation soil stiffness, based on the equivalent static stiffness formula, is used for the damper, one of the Link elements in SAP 2000. The base shear forces of the steel buildings, estimated through time-history analysis using the general-purpose structural-analysis program of SAP 2000, were compared with those calculated using the domestic seismic design code, the UBC-97 design response spectrum. and pushover static nonlinear analysis. The steel buildings designed for gravity and wind loads showed elastic responses with a moderate earthquake of 0.11 g, while the elastic soft-soil layer increased the displacement and the base shear force of the buildings due to soil-structure interaction and soil amplification. Therefore, considering the characteristics of the soft-soil layer, it is more reasonable to perform an elastic seismic analysis of a building's structure during weak or moderate earthquakes.

This paper presents the modeling and contingency analysis of Jeju power system. For the analysis of contingency with simulation, thermal power plants, current source type HVDC systems, wind farms, STATCOMs and Jeju power load are modeled by PSCAD/EMTDC program. And three kinds of simulation are carried out. Firstly, two STATCOMSs are in normal operation. Secondly, one STATCOM is in fault. Lastly, all of STATCOMs are in fault. These comparative studies will be useful for evaluating the effectiveness of STATCOM to stabilize for the Jeju power system.

To investigate the behaviour of the embankment on very soft foundation reinforced geotex- files,the laboratory model test in order to analyze the elementary effects of geotextile reinfor- cement and the finite element program analyzing the stresses and deformations characteristics was carried out. A two-dimensional nonlinear finite element program called GEOTEXT(a modification of ISBILD) for the static analysis of embankment on very soft foundation reinforced geotextiles has been developed. Both linear and nonlinear hyperbolic stress-strain soil models are inclu- ded, and incremental and stage construction can be simulated. However, the program GEO- TEXT is not developed herein as an adaptable design tool for practicing engineer. It was found that the geotextile reinforcement significantly reduced the shear stresses in the foundation and decreased the vertical differential settlements at the top of the embank- ment. This influence was more pronounced as the tensile strength of the geotextile was increased.

The finite element analysis of tires has been conventionally performed by either neglecting tread pattern or modeling only circumferential grooves. Besides, the tire analysis has been mainly limited to static or steady state rolling analysis. In this paper, a transient dynamic analysis of a patterned tire rolling over a cleat with an explicit finite element program is presented. The patterned tire with detailed tread blocks is modeled by a systematic mesh generation procedure, in which tire body and tread pattern meshes are separately generated in the beginning and then both meshes are combined by the tie constraint method. The cleat impact analysis is conducted by using both the patterned tire and the smooth tire models to predict the cleat enveloping characteristics. It is seen that the analysis results of the patterned tire model are in a good agreement with the experimental results.

Purpose : The current study examines changes of static uprighting balance in the visual input characteristics. Method : Total 50 person(male 16, female 34) were participated in this study. They were tested with 'hole in the card' for identification of dominant eye's side, then they were divided 3 groups(both visual input group, dominant visual input group, and non-dominant visual input group). 3 groups were measured with Romberg test on the force platform device to compare the static uprighting balance characteristics ; moving distance, mean velocity, and sway area of the CoM(center of mass), during 20 seconds. Results : The results by one-way repeated measure ANOVA were as follows. In moving distance and mean velocity of CoM, non-dominant visual input group was unstable than dominant visual group and both visual input group(p<0.05). But, in sway area of CoM, significant difference was not existed statistically. Conclusion : These result can be applied to design the static uprighting balance program using visual input mediation.
