Two approximate methods for a cosmic radiation shielding calculation in low earth orbits were developed and assessed. Those are a sectoring method and a chord-length distribution method. In order to simulate a change in cosmic radiation environments along the satellite mission trajectory, IGRF model and AP(E)-8 model were used. When the approximate methods were applied, the geometrical model of satellite structure was approximated as one-dimensional slabs, and a pre-calculated dose-depth conversion function was introduced to simplify the dose calculation process. Verification was performed with mission data of KITSAT-1 and the calculated results were also compared with detailed 3-dimensional calculation results using Monte Carlo calculation. Dose results from the approximate methods were conservatively higher than Monte Carlo results, but were lower than experimental data in total dose rate. Differences between calculation and experimental data seem to come from the AP-8 model, for which it is reported that fluxes of proton are underestimated. We confirmed that the developed approximate method can be applied to commercial satellite shielding calculations. It is also found that commercial products of semi-conductors can be damaged due to total ionizing dose under LEO radiation environment. An intensive shielding analysis should be taken into account when commercial devices are used.

A numerical model to analyze dam break flows has been developed based on approximate Riemann solver. The governing equations of the model are the nonlinear shallow-water equations. The governing equations are discretized explicitly by using finite volume method and the numerical flux are reconstructed with weighted averaged flux (WAF) method. The developed model is verified. The first verification problem is about idealized dam break flow on wet and dry beds. The second problem is about experimental data of dam break flow. From the results of the verifications, very good agreements have been observed

Dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir-foundation system is usually carried out by employing a simplified and approximate one-dimensional model to account for fluid-foundation interaction. The approximation introduced on this basis is examined thoroughly in this paper by comparing the method with the rigorous approach. It is concluded that the errors due to approximate method could be very significant both for horizontal and vertical ground motions.

Structural optimization algorithm of steel box girder bridges using improved higher-order approximate reanalysis technique is proposed in this paper. The proposed approximation method is a generalization of the convex approximation method. The order of the approximate reanalysis for each function is analytically adjusted in the optimization process. This self-adjusted capability makes the approximate structural analysis values conservative enough to maintain the optimum design point of the approximate problem. The efficiency of proposed optimazation algorithm, compared with conventional algorithm, is successfully demonstrated in the steel box girder bridges. The efficiency and robustness of proposed algorithm is also demonstrated in practical steel box girder bridges.

본 논문에서는 해양자동채염기의 구조중량 최소화를 위해 구조설계에 대한 메타모델 기반 근사최적화를 수행하였다. 구조해석은 해양자동채염기의 초기설계에 대한 강도성능을 평가하기 위해 유한요소법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 구조해석에서는 설계하중조건에 대한 강도성능을 평가하였다. 최적설계문제는 강도성능 제한조건을 만족하면서 중량을 최소화할 수 있는 구조두께의 설계변수를 결정하도록 정식화하였다. 근사최적화에는 반응표면법, 크리깅 모델 및 체비쇼프 직교 다항식의 메타모델을 사용하였다. 수치계산 특성을 검토하기 위해 근사최적화 결과는 비근사최적화 결과와 비교하였다. 근사최적화에 사용된 메타모델 중 체비쇼프 직교 다항식이 해양자동채염기의 구조설계에 가장 적합한 최적설계 결과를 나타내었다.

This paper is concerned with the modification of multidisciplinary feasible formulation for MDO problems using the integrated coupled approximate models. A drawback of conventional MDFs is the numerical difficulty in decomposing the design variables and deriving the coupled equations of state. To overcome such a drawback of conventional methods, the coupling in analysis and design is resolved by approximating the state variables in each discipline by the response surface method and by modifying the optimization formulation using the corresponding integrated coupled approximate models. The validity, reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method are illustrated and verified through two optimization problems, a mathematical MDF problem and the multidisciplinary optimum design of suspension unit of wheeled armored vehicle.

Landing pier is connect from onshore to offshore with bridge type that a coast structure. The sub-structure is consisted of vertical or batter pile and combined reinforced concrete slab. These days useful design method of quay wall of landing pier type for pile foundation analysis abide by approximate depth of pile supported method, "Harbor and port design criterion, 2005 The ministry of land transport and maritime affairs". The approximate depth of pile supported is calculated two kind of method that one is assume to below depth of 1/$\beta$ from assumed submarine surface and other is 1st fixpoint depth by Chang(1937)'s theory. By this paper, FEM dynamic analysis of 3-dimensions was achieved that it has compared pile fixed end modeling with elastic spring modeling base on winkler theory.

In this study, approximate design optimization using various meta-models was performed for the structural design of active type deck support frame. The active type deck support frame was newly developed to facilitate both transportation and installation of 20,000 ton class offshore plant topside. Structural analysis was carried out using the finite element method to evaluate the strength performance of the active type deck support frame in its initial design stage. In the structural analysis, the strength performances were evaluated for various design load conditions that were regulated in ship classification organization. The approximate optimum design problem based on meta-model was formulated such that thickness sizing variables of main structure members were determined by achieving the minimum weight of the active type deck support frame subject to the strength performance constraints. The meta-models used in the approximate design optimization were response surface method, Kriging model, and Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials. The results from approximate design optimization were compared to actual non-approximate design optimization. The Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials among the meta-models used in the approximate design optimization represented the most pertinent optimum design results for the structure design of the active type deck support frame.

횡력을 받는 전단벽-골조 시스템은 휨거동을 하는 전단벽과 전단거동을 하는 골조가 슬래브의 강체평면운동(Diaphragm Action)을 통하여 상호작용하여 수평력에 효율적으로 저항하는 시스템이다. 횡력을 받는 골조의 거동은 보와 기둥의 휨 변형에 의한 골조의 수평 전단변형과 기둥의 축 변형에 의한 골조의 휨 변형으로 구분 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 전단벽-골조 시스템의 근사해석 시 골조의 휨변형은 무시하여 왔으나, 건물의 높이가 증가 할수록 골조의 휨 거동은 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 횡력을 받는 전단벽-골조 시스템의 근사해석 시 기둥의 축 변형을 고려하기위하여 병렬전단벽 시스템(Coupled Shear Wall System)의 해석 시 사용하는 연속매체모델(Continuous Medium Model)을 이용하여 횡 변위 및 부재력을 산정할 수 있는 근사식을 수정 제시 하였다. 새롭게 제시된 근사식을 검토하기 위하여 기존 식과 컴퓨터에 의한 Matrix해석 결과와 비교하였으며, 비교결과 건물 높이가 높을수록 본 연구에서 제시한 근사해석 식이 기존 식보다 Matrix 해석 결과에 가깝게 나타났다.
