Enhanced three-dimensional finite elements for geometrically nonlinear analysis of cable-supported structures are presented. The cable element, derived by using the concept of an equivalent modulus of elasticity and assuming the deflection curve of a cable as catenary function, is proposed to model the cables. The stability functions for a frame member are modified to obtain a numerically stable solution. Various numerical examples are solved to illustrate the versatility and efficiency of the proposed finite element model. It is shown that the finite elements proposed in this study can be very useful for geometrically nonlinear analysis as well as free vibration analysis of three-dimensional cable-supported structures.

3차원 유한요소 모델을 사용하여 여러 wing들로 구성된 3차원 다중 구조물의 해석을 수행할 경우에는 입력자료 작성시 번거로움과 긴 해석시간 및 큰 용량의 컴퓨터가 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제점을 효율적으로 극복할 수 있는 여러 wing들로 구성된 3차원 구조물에 대한 해석모델들을 제안하였으며 이들 해석모델에는 3차원 다중 구조물에서 계산의 간편성 때문에 통상 무시되어 온 바닥슬라브의 면내변형이 고려되어져 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 해석모델에서는 여러 wing들로 구성된 3차원 구조물을 하나의 구조물로 취급하는 종래의 방법 대신에 각 wing 구조물들과 이들 wing 구조물을 서로 연결시켜주는 연결부로 이상화하기 때문에 다양한 형태(Y. U, H 등)의 구조물에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있다. 제안된 해석모델의 정확성은 두가지 구조방식의 예제 구조물에 대하여 3차원 유한 요소 모델과 제안된 해석모델로부터 구한 해석결과(구조물의 고유 진동주기, 모드형상, 임의 절점에서의 변위에 대한 시간이력)의 비교로부터 검증되었으며 그 결과 제안된 해석모델은 여러 wing들로 구성된 3차원 구조물에 대한 근사적인 모델로 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

This thesis presents applications of three dimensional visualization technique based on shear-warp volume rendering to medical information. Volume rendering is compared to surface rendering and acceleration technique is also presented. The presented rendering techniques by using three-dimensional arrays of data are a widely used representation for computational fluid dynamics and geological structures as well as medical information.

This study performs reliability analysis of three-dimensional temporary shoring structures with three different models. The first model represents a field model which does not have diagonal bracing members. The installation of bracing members is often neglected in the field for convenience. The second model corresponds to a design model which has the bracing members with the hinge connection of horizontal and bracing members at joints. The third model is similar to the second model but the hinge connection is replaced with partial rotational stiffness. The reliability analysis results revealed that the vertical members of the three models are safe enough in terms of axial force, but the vertical and horizontal members exhibit a big difference among the three models in terms of combination stress of axial force and bi-axial bending moments. The field model showed significant increase in failure probability for the horizontal member, and thus the results demonstrate that the bracing member should be installed necessarily for the safety of the temporary shoring structures.

In the last decades, valuable results have been reported regarding conventional passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid structural control systems on two-dimensional and a few three-dimensional shear buildings. In this research, using a three-dimensional finite element model of high-rise concrete structures, designed by performance based plastic design method, it was attempted to construct a relatively close to reality model of concrete structures equipped with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) by considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), torsion effect, hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete. In contrast to previous studies which have focused mainly on linearly designed structures, in this study, using performance-based plastic design (PBPD) design approach, nonlinear behavior of the structures was considered from the beginning of the design stage. Inelastic time history analysis on a detailed model of twenty-story concrete structure was performed under a far-field ground motion record set. The seismic responses of the structure by considering SSI effect are studied by eight main objective functions that are related to the performance of the structure, containing: lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, plastic energy dissipation, shear force, number of plastic hinges, local plastic energy and rotation of plastic hinges. The tuning problem of TMD based on tuned mass spectra is set by considering five of the eight previously described functions. Results reveal that the structural damage distribution range is retracted and inter-story drift distribution in height of the structure is more uniform. It is strongly suggested to consider the effect of SSI in structural design and analysis.

This paper introduces a geometric modelling system adopted in a newly developed preprocessor for finite element analysis of three dimensional structures. The formulation is characterized by hierarchical construction of structural model which consists of control points, curves, surfaces and solids. Various surface and solid modeling schemes based on blending functions and boundary representation are systematized for finite element mesh generation. The modeling system is integrated with model synthesis and operations which facilitate modelling of complex structures.

We analyzed the three-dimensional distribution of micropores and internal structures in both fresh and weathered granite using micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT). Results show that the pore radius in fresh granite is mostly in the range of $17-50{\mu}m$, the throat radius is in the range of $5-25{\mu}m$, and the coordination number (CN) of pores is less than 10. In contrast, the pore radius in weathered granite is mostly in the range of $20-80{\mu}m$, the throat radius is in the range of $8-30{\mu}m$, and the CN is less than 12. In general, a positive linear relationship exists between pore radius and CN. In addition, both the size and the density of pores increase with an increasing degree of rock weathering. The size of the throats that connect the pores also increases with an increasing degree of weathering, which induces fracture propagation in rocks. Micro-CT is a powerful and versatile approach for investigating the three-dimensional distributions of pores and fracture structures in rocks, and for quantitatively assessing the degree of pore connectivity.

Most tissue engineering strategies for creating functional replacement tissues or organs rely on the application of temporary three-dimensional scaffolds to guide the proliferation and spread of seeded cells in vitro and in vivo. Scaffolds should be satisfied following requirements; macrostructure to promote cell proliferation, pore interconnectivity, pore size ranging from 200 to $400{\mu}m$, surface chemistry and mechanical properties. Rapid prototyping techniques have often been used as an useful process that fabricates scaffolds with complex structures. In this study, a new process to fabricate a three-dimensional scaffolds using bio-compatible polymer has been developed. It employs a highly accurate three-dimensional positioning system with pressure-controlled syringe to deposit biopolymer structures. The pressure-activated microsyringe is equipped with fine-bore nozzles of various inner-diameters. In order to examine relationships between line width and process parameters such as nozzle height, applied pressure, and speed of needle, experiments were carried out. Based on the experimental results, three-dimensional scaffold was fabricated using the apparatus. It shows the validity of the proposed process.

In this paper, the motion responses with hydrodynamic interaction effect between two off-shore floating structures in various heading waves are studied by using a linearized three-dimensional potential theory. Numerical calculations using three-dimensional pulsating source distribution techniques have been carried out for twelve coupled linear motion responses and relative motions of the barge and the ship in oblique waves. The computational results give a good correlation with the experimental results and also with other numerical results. As a result, the present computational tool can be used effectively to predict the motion responses of multiple offshore floating structures in waves.
