The vibrational behavior of nanoelements is critical in determining how a nanostructure behaves. However, combining vibrational analysis with stability analysis allows for a more comprehensive knowledge of a structure's behavior. As a result, the goal of this research is to characterize the behavior of nonlocal nanocyndrical beams with uniform and nonuniform cross sections. The nonuniformity of the beams is determined by three distinct section functions, namely linear, convex, and exponential functions, with the length and mass of the beams being identical. For completely clamped, fully pinned, and cantilever boundary conditions, Eringen's nonlocal theory is combined with the Timoshenko beam model. The extended differential quadrature technique was used to solve the governing equations in this research. In contrast to the other boundary conditions, the findings of this research reveal that the nonlocal impact has the opposite effect on the frequency of the uniform cantilever nanobeam. Furthermore, since the mass of the materials employed in these nanobeams is designed to remain the same, the findings may be utilized to help improve the frequency and buckling stress of a resonator without requiring additional material, which is a cost-effective benefit.

In this paper, the Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control (TPMC) is applied to the seismic design of dual systems composed by moment-resisting frames and Chevron braced frames. The application of TPMC is aimed at the design of dual systems able to guarantee, under seismic horizontal forces, the development of a collapse mechanism of global type. This design goal is of primary importance in seismic design of structures, because partial failure modes and soft-storey mechanisms have to be absolutely prevented due to the worsening of the energy dissipation capacity of structures and the resulting increase of the probability of failure during severe ground motions. With reference to the examined structural typology, diagonal and beam sections are assumed to be known quantities, because they are, respectively, designed to withstand the whole seismic actions and to withstand vertical loads and the net downward force resulting from the unbalanced axial forces acting in the diagonals. Conversely column sections are designed to assure the yielding of all the beam ends of moment-frames and the yielding and the buckling of tensile and compressed diagonals of the V-Braced part, respectively. In this work, a detailed designed example dealing with the application of TPMC to moment frame-chevron brace dual systems is provided with reference to an eight storey scheme and the design procedure is validated by means of non-linear static analyses aimed to check the actual pattern of yielding. The results of push-over analyses are compared with those obtained for the dual system designed according to Eurocode 8 provisions.

본 연구에서는 NREL 5MW 풍력발전기 타워 설계 모델을 다물체 동역학과 신뢰성 기반 최적 설계를 이용하여 최적화하는 연구를 수행하였다. 타워 모델은 티모센코 빔 이론을 이용하여 얻은 동특성을 내포한 링크와 조인트로 이루어진 수학적 모델로 표현하였다. 최적화 문제에서는 높이가 일정한 타워에서 두께, 내 외곽 지름이 변할 때 나타나는 민감도 변화를 비교하여 결과를 도출하였으며, 비교 기준으로 굽힘 응력과 좌굴 안정성을 사용하였다. 일계 이차 모멘트법을 이용한 최적화 알고리즘에서 얻은 최종 모델은 유한요소법을 이용한 정하중 해석에서 최대 응력 분포를 이용한 안전성을 고려를 통해 유효성을 검증하였다. 본 연구 방법을 통해 동역학적 모델과 유한요소 모델간의 연계성을 확인하고, 낮은 타워 설치 비용으로 더 강건한 시스템을 구축할 수 있는 설계 방향을 제시하였다.
