The object of the present study is to present an adaptive wavelet-Galerkin method for the analysis of thin-walled box beam. Due to good localization properties of wavelets, wavelet methods emerge as alternative efficient solution methods to finite element methods. Most structural applications of wavelets thus far are limited in fixed-scale, non-adaptive frameworks, but this is not an appropriate use of wavelets. On the other hand, the present work appears the first attempt of an adaptive wavelet-based Galerkin method in structural problems. To handle boundary conditions, a fictitous domain method with penalty terms is employed. The limitation of the fictitious domain method is also addressed.

There have been many packages that can be employed to analyze plane frames. However, because most structural analysis packages suffer from closeness of system, it is very difficult to integrate it with an optimization package. To overcome the difficulty, we proposed a possible alternative, DAMDO, which integrate Design, Analysis, Modeling, Definition, and Optimization phases into an integrative environment. The DAMDO methodology employs neural networks to integrate structural analysis package and optimization package so as not to need directly to integrate these two packages. The key problem of the DAMDO approach is how to generate a set of reasonable random designs in the first phase. According to the characteristics of optimized plane frames, we proposed the ratio variable approach to generate them. The empirical results show that the ratio variable approach can greatly improve the accuracy of the neural networks, and the plane frame optimization problems can be solved by the DAMDO methodology.

Two ways can be used for dynamic condensation of viscously damped structural models. One is reducing the model in physical space at first and then transferring it to state space. The other is ,condensing the model in state space directly. Two iterative schemes for each way are given respectively. Hence four iterative schemes for dynamic condensation of nonclassically damped models are discussed in this paper. A high building with a tuned mass damper is applied to show the efficiency of these schemes.

We consider an infinite-order long-memory heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model, which is motivated by a long-memory property of realized volatilities (RVs), as an extension of the finite order HAR-RV model. We develop bootstrap tests for structural mean or variance changes in the infinite-order HAR model via stationary bootstrapping. A functional central limit theorem is proved for stationary bootstrap sample, which enables us to develop stationary bootstrap cumulative sum (CUSUM) tests: a bootstrap test for mean break and a bootstrap test for variance break. Consistencies of the bootstrap null distributions of the CUSUM tests are proved. Consistencies of the bootstrap CUSUM tests are also proved under alternative hypotheses of mean or variance changes. A Monte-Carlo simulation shows that stationary bootstrapping improves the sizes of existing tests.

In this paper, we were performed a structural analysis and durability analysis for an integral frame with an axle according to development of the electric locomotive traction motor. In terms of the structural stability, as a result of the analysis modeling with coupling conditions of beam element and an alternative element of three-dimensional, the maximum von-Mises stress of the locking screw mounting frame were similar as 50MPa and 51MPa. Also A comparison of the natural frequency and the exciting frequency while driving of the electric locomotive No. 8200, the natural frequency is 627.05Hz~856.9Hz while the exciting frequency is not more than most 30Hz or 553Hz, 1110Hz. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the resonance.

The present article summarises the fundamental characteristics of concrete behaviour which underlie the formulation of an engineering finite element model capable of realistically predicting the behaviour of (plain or reinforced) concrete structural forms in a wide range of problems ranging from static to impact loading without the need of any kind of re-calibration. The already published evidence supporting the proposed formulation is complemented by four additional typical case studies presented herein; for each case, a comparative study is carried out between numerical predictions and the experimental data which reveals good agreement. Such evidence validates the material characteristics upon which the FE model's formulation is based and provides an alternative explanation regarding the behaviour of structural concrete and how it should be modelled which contradicts the presently (widely) accepted assumptions adopted in the majority of FE models used to predict the behaviour of concrete.

본 연구에서는 경제성에 기반한 초고층건물 구조시스템의 대안평가 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 초고층건물 구조시스템의 대안평가 항목은 크게 구조성능, 경제성, 공기의 세 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 일반적으로 구조성능은 주어진 기준의 만족여부로 평가하며, 최종적으로는 경제성이 평가에 결정적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 구조성능을 만족하는 대안에 대하여 공기를 비용으로 환산하고, 최종적으로는 물량에 의한 비용과 공기에서 환산된 비용을 합산하여 대안을 평가하는 방안을 제안하였다. 공기의 비용화는 공기의 비용연동지수를 구하고 이로부터 공기의 대체경제성비용을 산정하는 방법으로 고려하였다. 제안된 대안평가 과정은 수많은 대안을 짧은 시간에 평가할 수 있도록 전산시스템 구현가능성을 염두에 두고 구축하였다.

구조설계 과정에서 설계대안을 효율적으로 생성하여 평가하면서, 특히 다목적 환경 속에서 최적구조의 위상과 부재의 치수까지 동시에 결정할 수 있는 새로운 방식을 제시하고자 한다. 설계자가 설계대안을 생성하기 위해 설계자의 경험과 노하우를 체계적으로 구축해 놓고 이를 적절한 시기에 활용할 수 있게 하는 방법으로는 인공지능 기술의 하나인 사례기반 추론 기법을 사용하였다. 이와 더불어, 설계대안들 간의 효율적인 비교와 평가를 위해서 구조물의 계층적인 면을 고려한 새로운 유전적인 표현법을 개발하였다. 여기에 기존의 유전적 표현법을 변경시켜 생긴 여분의 효과와 계층적인 특징을 가지는 Structured Genetic Algorithm(StrGA)를 변형시켜서 사례기반 추론에 의해 생성된 설계대안들을 표현하였다. 일반적인 구조설계 과정에서는 구조물을 평가하는 기준이 여러 개가 존재하므로, 모든 대안들을 동시에 최적화 하는 과정에 Multicriteria Optimization for Genetic Algorithm(MOGA)를 병합하였다. 본 논문에서는 인공지능 기술을 이용하여 구조물의 위상설계를 할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하여 그 유용성을 truss 설계문제에 대해 검토하였다.

In the case of hospital buildings, where seismic design requirements are very high, existing structuresand especially those attacked by past earthquakes, appear, often, unable to fulfil the necessary safety prerequisites. In this paper, the retrofitting of hospital buildings is investigated, using alternative methods of repair and strengthening. Analysis of an existing hospital building in Patras, Greece, is performed. The load-bearing system is a reinforced concrete system. Two solutions are proposed: strengthening using concrete jackets around column and beam elements and application of viscoelastic dampers for the increase of the stability of the structure. Adequate finite element models are constructed for each case and conclusions are drawn on the efficiency of each rehabilitation method.
