The purpose of this study is the optimum modification of dynamic characteristics of stiffened plate structure. In the method of the optimization ,finite element method (FEM), sensitivity analysis and optimum structural modification method are used. To begin with, using FEM, the dynamic characteristics of stiffened plate structure is analyzed. Next, rate of change of dynamic characteristic by the change of design variable is calculated using the sensitivity analysis. Then, amount of change of design variable is calculated using this sensitivity value and optimum structural modification method. The change of natural frequency is made to be an objective function. Thickness of plate and cross section moment become a design variable. It is shown that the results are effective in the optimum modification for dynamic characteristics of the stiffened plate structure.

The study suggests a method to analyze the vibration of the multi-stepped beam having the different circular cross-sections. The rotatory inertia, the shear deformation and the torque applied at both ends of the beam are considered in the governing equation. The complex displacement and the variable separation are introduced to derive the solution of the equation of each uniform beam element having constant cross-section. Then boundary conditions are applied to solve the total system. This method uses the mathematically exact solutions unlike numerical method such as the finite element method in solving the problem having the simultaneous differential equations of Timoshenko beam theory. the natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes are precise, especially the mode shapes are continuous.

Tunnels are widely used for special purposes including roads, railways and culvert for power transmission, etc. Its cross-section shape is determined by uses, ground condition, environmental or economic factor. Many papers with respect to behaviours of adjacent ground and existing structure tunnelling-induced have been published by many researchers, but tunnel cross-section have rarely been considered. A collapse of tunnel causes vaster human and property damage than structures on the ground. Thus, it is very important to understand and analyse the relationship between behavoiurs of ground and cross-section type of tunnel. In this study, the behaviour of ground due to tunnel excavation for underground station below the grouped pile supported existing structure was analysed through laboratory model test using a trap-door device. Not only two cross-section types, 2-arch and box, as station for tunnel, but also, offset between tunnel and grouped pile centre (0.1B, 0.25B, 0.4B) are considered as variable of this study. In order to measure underground deformation tunnelling-induced, Close Range Photogrammetry technique was applied with laboratory model test, and results are compared to numerical analysis.

Exhaust system by reinforcement of environment regulation came to the foe study necessity. And Exhaust system has necessary to increase the engine performance and silence. From this cause, Automobile has significantly considered production expense. this study makes process for checking the characteristics about Exhaust variable valve within muffler. Variable valve might reduce the baffle within muffler, It was possible to remove the front muffler. Therefor, To miniaturize a size of muffler might be increased by performance through cost-cutting effect and controling of back pressure. Because the Study on Variable valve installed within muffler, to measure the real data was hardly resulted one of the assignments. From manufactured conduct device, might measure data one of piece which was up-graded of problem. Considering to these point, stressed pressure distribution has analyzed on cross section, floating characteristics about velocity distribution around variable valve using analysis as computational fluid dynamics of Ansys with completed measurement data.

In construction of a large cross section NATM tunnel, to keep the tunnel face stability by the ground itself bench cut method is commonly used. In order to necessity of partial face excavation method, we have to look for more enhanced method that can maintain better stress intensity. This paper presents a stress distribution of the Center Diaphragm Method from the partial face excavation methods, with the numerical analysis, and induced the optimal face distance, which is minimizing stress concentration and the optimal excavation step. Commerical 3 dimensional continuum analyzing FLAC-3D Ver. 2.1 program is used for the analysis. Analyses were performed to investigate ground behavior for tunnels with variable bench-length varying from 2m to 40m.

1-D hydrodynamic numerical models have been most widely used in the field of flood analysis. The model's input data are upstream/downstream boundaries, roughness coefficients, cross-sections, and so on, and computational distance step and time step are the most important factors in order to guarantee the computational accuracy, stability, and efficiency. In this study, a theoretical explanation is presented for the basis of the previous empirical selection criteria of cross-section's location; also, the estimation technique of computationally variable distance step is proposed to reflect the properties of flow at every computational time step. Combining this technique with 1-D unsteady numerical model, it was applied to two events of Teton dam failure flood and the Han River flood. The numerical experimental results demonstrate that the accuracy and stability is increased when used more interpolated cross-sections and show that the proposed technique of computationally variable distance step has the same order of accuracy with smaller numbers of cross-section than previous empirical selection criteria. The practical use of this technique will be possible to analyze the river floods with high efficiency as well as accuracy and stability.

Currently, potentiometric method has been employed to measure fuel amount for automobile. However, potentiometer could be malfunctioned or damaged due to the additives or dirt in fuel because a variable electric resistor is immersed in fuel. Therefore, a device employing strain sensor is designed and tested to verify the possibility as an alternative of the conventional fuel sender. Existing fuel tank has irregular cross section. Therefore, buoyancy is not increased linearly as fuel amount is increased. We design a floater that can compensate the irregular cross section of fuel tank and make buoyancy to increase linearly with increasing fuel amount. New fuel sender, comprising of strain gages on circular membrane, the above commented floater and the cover to prevent the disturbance due to sudden acceleration and deceleration, is designed and tested to replace current fuel sender. On the other hand, we are developing strain sensor that has strain gage deposited directly on the circular membrane with cantilever beam.

According to the "FDI-as-market-discipline" hypothesis, inward FDI acts as a mechanism of change in market structure affecting innovative activities of domestic firms. We used panel KIS data for testing this hypothesis. Binary probit estimation shows that, in contrast to the German case of Bertschek (1995), FDI is insignificant in Korean case for explaining product innovation. 1his result maybe comes from the fact that the industries in Korea are more monopolistic or oligopolistic than those of Germany. Using panel data, we tried random parameter estimation using matrix weighted average of GLS and OLS. The result shows different estimates from cross-section outcome and panel estimation with parameter homogeneity, so we can infer large parameter heterogeneity across firms. But, interpretation for FDI variable is similar across panel and cross-section estimation.

The elastic deflections and Euler buckling loads are investigated for a class of tapered and initially curved cantilevered beams subjected to loading at the tip. The beam's width increases linearly and its depth decreases linearly with the distance from the fixed end to the tip. Unloaded, the beam forms a circular are perpendicular to the axis of bending. The beam's deflection responses, obtained by solving the differential equations in closed form, are presented in terms of four nondimensional system parameters: taper ratio ${\kappa}$, initial shape ratio ${\Delta}_0$, end load ratio f, and load angle ${\theta}$. Laboratory measurements of the Euler buckling loads for scale models of tapered initially straight, corrugated beams compared favorably with those computed from the present analysis. The results are applicable to future designs of the end structures of highway guardrails, which can be designed to give the appropriate balance between the capacity to deflect a nearly head-on vehicle back to its right-of-way and the capacity to buckle sufficiently that penetration of the vehicle may be averted.

The elastic critical moment of I-beams subjected to moment is directly affected by the following factors; loading type; loading position with respect to the mid-height of the cross section; end restraint conditions. Most design specifications usually provide buckling solutions derived for uniform moment loading condition and account for variable moment along the unbraced length with a moment gradient correction factor applied to these solutions. In order for the method in the SSRC Guide to be applicable for singly symmetric I-beams, improved moment gradient correction factors were proposed in this study. Finite element buckling analyses of singly symmetric I-beams subjected to transverse loading applied at different heights with respect to the mid-height of the cross section were conducted. Transverse loads consisting of a mid-span point load and a uniformly distributed load were considered in the investigation.
