In this paper, the topology optimization of inner-wall stiffener of cylindrical containers for the use as a rocket fuel tank is presented. Such structures for space mission should have high stiffness against the buck]ins while their weight should be maintained low from the viewpoint of cost and performance. Therefore, in the present work the reciprocal of critical buckling load is adopted as an objective function and the total mass of stiffener is constrained to a prescribed value. Due to the restriction of computational resources a section of cylindrical container is topologically optimized and this result is repeated to obtain the full design. Also, for manufacturability the concept of periodic topology pattern in design domain is newly introduced. In the numerical examples, the results by the proposed approach are investigated and compared with those of isogrid design.

In order to consider the statistical properties of probability variables which are used in structural analysis, the conventional approach of using safety factors based on past experience, are usually used to estimate the safety of a structure. The real structures could only be analyzed with the error in estimation of loads, materials and dimensional characteristics. Errors should be considered systematically in the structural analysis. In this paper, we estimated the probability of failure of two pressure vessels, simultaneously, using computational analysis. One pressure vessel, theoretically, had no stiffener whereas the other had. This paper also discusses sensitivity values of random variables in the rounded parts of the pressure vessel which had ring-style stiffener in the center of the external area which had ring-style stiffener. Finally, we show that the reliability index, and the probability of failure, can be calculated to particular tolerance limits.

대형 LNG 내부 탱크의 내측 벽체에 가설되는 스티프너의 제작에 있어 판재 비용을 최소화하기 위하여 다양한 스티프너 규격에 따른 원 판재의 소요 중량과 비용을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 판재 물량 산정 프로그램을 개발하여 자동화함으로써 설계자가 수작업으로 수행하는 물량 산정을 작업시간의 단축과 함께, 다양한 중량과 비용의 분석이 가능하도록 하였다. 분석결과, 판재 폭이 큰 것을 사용할수록 스티프너를 제작하는데 사용되는 원 판재의 총 소요개수, 중량 및 비용이 감소하였으나, 최적의 LNG탱크용 스티프너 판재 폭을 결정하기 위해서는 소요 판재의 중량과 함께 비용의 분석이 필요하였다.

Box sections are symmetrical sections and they have high moment of inertia in both directions, therefore they are good members in tall building structures. For the rigid connection in structures with box column continuity plates are used on level of beam flanges in column. Assembly of the continuity plates is a difficult and unreliable work due to lack of weld or high welding and cutting in the fourth side of column in panel zone, so the use of experimental stiffeners have been considered by researchers. This paper presented an experimental investigation on connection in box columns. The proposed connection has been investigated in four cases which contain connection without internal and external stiffeners(C-0-00), connection with continuity plates(C-I-CP), connection with external vase shape stiffener (C-E-VP) and connection with surrounding plates(C-E-SP). The results show that the connections with vase plates and surrounding plates can respectively increase the ultimate strength of the connection up to 366% and 518% than the connection without stiffeners, in case connection with the continuity plates this parameter increases about 39%. In addition, the proposed C-E-VP and C-E-SP connection provide a rigid and safe connection to acquire rigidity of 95% and 98% respectively. But C-I-CP connection is classified as semi-rigid connections.

The application of rib stiffeners is common on steel connections, with regard to the stiffened angle connection, experimental results about the influence of stiffeners under monotonic and cyclic loading are very limited. Consequently, this paper presents the experimental investigation on four types angle connections with or without stiffener under static loading and another four type stiffened angle connections subjected to cyclic loading. The static experimental result showed that the rib stiffener weld in tension zone of the connection greatly enhanced its initial rotational stiffness and flexural strength. While a stiffener was applied to the compression zone of the connection, it had not obvious influences on the initial rotational stiffness, but increased its flexural strength. The moment-rotation curves, skeleton curves, ductility, energy dissipation and rigidity were evaluated under cyclic loading. Stiffened top-and-seat angle connections behaved as semi-rigid and partial strength, and rotation of all stiffened angle connections exceeded 0.04rad. The failure modes between monotonic and cyclic loading test were completely different and indicated certain robustness.

In this study, the bend-buckling strength of the web in longitudinally stiffened plate girder was numerically investigated. The buckling strength of the reinforced web was evaluated through an eigenvalue analysis of the hypothetical model, in which the top and bottom junctions of the web to the flanges were assumed as simple support conditions. Major parameters in the analysis include asymmetrical cross-sectional property, aspect ratio of the web, stiffener locations, and bending rigidity of the stiffeners. The numerical results showed that current AASHTO LRFD specifications (2014) provides the buckling strength from considerably safe side to slightly unsafe side depending on the location of the stiffeners. A modified equation for buckling coefficients was proposed to solve the shortcomings. The bending rigidity requirements of longitudinal stiffeners stipulated in AASHTO were also investigated. It is desirable to increase the rigidity of the stiffeners when the aspect ratio is less than 1.0.

이 논문은 T-스티프너보강된 GFT기둥-H형강보 실대형 접합부의 거동을 나타낸다. 수직요소와 수평요소로 구성된 6개 실험체의 T-스트프너는 보의 전소성모멘트에 대한 강도비를 주요변수로 하여 제작되었다. 실험을 통하여 얻은 주요 내용은 강도, 강성과 소성회전능력이다. 모든 실험체는 대체로 안정된 이력거동을 나타내었으며, 특히 수평요소는 수직요소보다 강도와 강성에 더욱더 큰 영향을 준다. 보의 소성회전성능에 있어서, 조기에 파단한 TS-2를 제외한 실험체들의 평균 보소성회전각은 2.97% rad.이다.

본 연구에서는 보강판의 좌굴방지를 위해 기존에 주로 사용되는 보강재를 복합재료를 사용하여 대체하는 새로운 개념을 소개한다. 강재 보강재를 복합재료로 대체함으로써 용접의 불편함과 피로 등에 의한 손상 및 부식을 원천적으로 제거할 수 있다. 강판에 접착되는 복합재료는 강판이 좌굴할 때까지 완전히 접착된 것으로 가정하였다. 이렇게 구성되는 판은 길이와 폭 방향으로 변단면의 형태를 가지며 비등방성의 재료특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 비등방성 변단면 판의 좌굴해석을 위해 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 LUSAS를 사용하였으며 여러 가지 매개변수 변화 해석을 통해 비등방성 변단면 판의 좌굴거동 특성을 살펴보았다.

Stiffened plates are commonly used as a component of ship's structures. Most frequently symmetrically stiffened plates are used, but some of stern structures and any specified parts are often constructed with eccentrically stiffened plates. The problems of these eccentrically stiffened plates have been studied rarely, and the results of eccentricity effect of eccentrically stiffened plates are not available. This paper deals with the analysis of eccentrically stiffened plates in the linear elastic range. The derivation of the stiffness matrix was carried out by finite element method for which the isoparametric element was adopted. To show the effect of eccentricity, the deflection at the center under the uniformly distributed and the concentrated load of simply supported and clamped plate models are computed respectively in accordance with the eccentricity of the stiffener. As shown in the results of computations, the eccentricity effect of concentrated load case is greater than that of distributed load case and that of simply supported boundary condition is greater than that of clamped boundary condition. The higher eccentricity of stiffener is, the smaller the effect of stiffener becomes, therefore scantling of eccentrically stiffened plates should be considerably greater than those of symmetrically stiffened plates.
