This research proposed a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based seismic retrofit design of moment frame structures using a steel frame assembly. Two full scale specimens of the steel frame assembly with different corner details were attached to one-story RC frames for seismic retrofit, and the lateral load resisting capacities of the retrofitted frames subjected to cyclic loads were compared with those of a bare RC frame. The open source software framework Opensees was used to develop an analytical model for validating the experimental results. The developed analytical model and the optimization scheme were applied to a case study structure for economic seismic retrofit design, and its seismic performance was assessed before and after the retrofit. The results show that the developed steel frame assembly was effective in increasing seismic load resisting capability of the structure, and the PSO algorithm could be applied as convenient optimization tool for seismic retrofit design of structures.

Finite element analysis along with DOE scheme has been performed to obtain robust design of connecting rod assembly. An analysis was conducted with five loading steps. Fatigue analysis was done using commercial software FEMFAT and fatigue safety factors at the interested regions such as shank area of small end and big end were calculated. 27 design cases using 3 factors with 3 levels are constructed by design of experiment. Each case is simulated to find the most influential factors. Response for this study, maximum Von-Mises stress, has been used to determine main factors of connecting rod assembly. Among the 3 factors, compression load affected the response greatly. However, bolt assembly load and width of shank flat area showed a little influence to the response. Interaction effects among factors considered did not occur. Connecting rod assembly considered in this study showed its sensitivity to the noise factor such as compression load rather than design factor such as width of flat shank area.

The fuel assemblies as the nuclear fuel for the pressurized water reactor(PWR) are loaded in the reactor core throughout the residence time of three to five years. The spacer grid assembly, which is an interconnected array of slotted grid straps and is welded at the intersections to form an egg crate structure, is one of the main structural components of the fuel assembly. The spacer grid assembly is structurally required to have enough buckling strength under various kinds of lateral load acting on the fuel assembly so as to keep the fuel assembly straight. To meet the requirement, integrity on the spacer grid welding parts should be carefully checked. In this study, welding quality of the spacer grid assembly welded by several welding companies are examined and compared.

Characterization tests (load vs. displacement curve) are conducted for the springs of Zirconium alloy spacer grids for an advanced LWR fuel assembly. Twofold testing is employed: strap-based and assembly-based tests. The assembly-based test satisfies the in situ boundary conditions of the spring within the grid assembly. The aim of the characterization test via the aforementioned two methods is to establish an appropriate assembly-based test method that fulfills the actual boundary conditions. A characterization test under the spacer grid assembly boundary condition is also conducted to investigate the actual behavior of the spring in the core. The stiffness of the characteristic curve is smaller than that of the strap-wised boundary condition. This phenomenon may cause the strap slit condition. A spacer grid consists of horizontal and vertical straps. The strap slit positions are differentiated from each other. They affords examination of the variation of the external load distribution in the grid spring. Localized legions of high stress and their values are analyzed, as they may be affected by the spring shape. Through a comparison of the results of the test and FE analysis, it is concluded that the present assembly-based analysis model and procedure are reasonably well conducted and can be used for spring characterization in the core. Guidelines for improving the mechanical integrity of the spring are also discussed.

The logistics of entire shipbuilding process are integrated during the block erection process and the schedules for the erection process are made prior to. the schedules of any other processes. Therefore, efficient scheduling of the block erection process are one of most important issues in shipbuilding. There are only a few studies published regarding block erection scheduling methods because of its complexity and variability. This paper proposes an algorithm for diminution of maximum load based on constraint satisfaction technique. it is developed primarily for the efficiency in load leveling and applicability to the actual block erection process. The proposed algorithm is applied to actual block erection process and the results shows improvements in load leveling. It can also be used for the scheduling of fabrication, sub-assembly, and assembly to improve load leveling.

The heavy duty diesel engine must have a large output for maintaining excellent mobility. The compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a material currently under study for the engine demanded for high torque, durability, stiffness and fatigue. In this study, three dimensional finite element model of a heavy-duty diesel engine was developed to conduct the stress analysis by using property of CGI. The FE model of the heavy duty diesel engine section consisting with four half cylinder was selected. The heavy duty diesel engine section include cylinder block, cylinder head, liner, bearing cap, bearing and bolt. The loading conditions of engine are pre-fit load, assembly force and gas force.

페이로드 페어링은 외부환경으로부터 위성 및 전자 탑재물들을 보호한다. 그리고 위성 분리 전에 페이로드 페어링은 투하 된다. 페어링 분리를 위하여 전단볼트로 체결된 체결프레임이 페이로드 페어링에 조립되어 있다. 전단볼트의 역할은 전체 구조하중을 견디며, 화약폭발력에 의해 절단이 된다. 그리고 전단볼트가 절단된 후 전단볼트로 연결되었던 체결 프레임은 분리된다. 본 논문에서는 전단볼트 설계에 대한 구조시험과 해석을 수행하였다. 구조시험은 체결 프레임을 포함한 하드웨어에 압축, 굽힘, 전단하중을 부가하였다. 시험결과 전단볼트는 비행하중 지지를 위한 구조강도와 화약폭발에 의해 절단되는데 요구되는 낮은 강도 조건을 만족하였다.

본 논문은 Offset time을 기반으로 하는 OBS에서 하위 우선순위 클래스의 버스트 크기를 망의 트래픽 부하에 따라 동적으로 조절하여 하위 우선순위 클래스의 손실율을 제어시킬 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 이 방안에서는 void를 활용하는 스케줄링에서는 부하가 증가함에 따라 긴 버스트의 손실율이 짧은 버스트의 손실율 보다 높아지므로, 부하가 높아 질 때에는 버스트의 길이를 짧게 함으로써, 채널의 void/gap을 보다 효율적으로 활용하여 클래스간의 버스트 충돌을 감소시킬 수 있다는 사실을 이용한다. 이 방안의 구현을 위해서 먼저 버스트의 길이와 버스트 loss율 그리고 트래픽 부하에 대한 상관관계를 구하여, 코어 라우터에서는 망의 부하에 따라 유지하고자하는 버스트 손실율에 상응하는 burst 길이를 Ingress 에지 라우터(edge router)에 주기적 혹은 필요에 따라 피드백 해준다. 에지 라우터는 피드백 받은 정보에 따라 어셈블리 때에 Burst Assembly Threshold를 조정하여 버스트 길이를 제한하게 된다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 제안한 방안이 하위 우선 순위 버스트들의 손실율을 망이 요구하는 수준으로 잘 유지 할 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

To elucidate the differences in the collapse behavior between a single-story beam-column assembly and multi-story frame, two 1/3-scale two-bay composite frames, including a single-story composite beam-column assembly and a three-story composite sub-frame, were designed and quasi-statically tested. The load-displacement responses, failure modes, and internal force development of the two frames were analyzed and compared in detail. Furthermore, the resistance mechanisms of the two specimens were explored, and the respective contributions of different load-resisting mechanisms to the total resistances were quantitatively separated to gain deeper insights. The experimental tests indicated that Vierendeel action was present in the two-dimensional multi-story frames, which led to an uneven internal force distribution among the three stories. The collapse resistance of TSDWA-3S in the flexural stage was not significantly increased by the structural redundancy provided by the additional story, as compared to that of TSDWA-1S. Although the development of the load response was similar in the two specimens at flexural stage, the collapse mechanisms of the multi-story composite frame were much more complicated than those of the single-story beam-column assembly, and the combined action between stories was critical in determining the internal force redistribution and rebalancing of the remaining structure.
