This paper investigates the effectiveness of widely used identification methods to identify the response of seismically isolated structures supported on bearings with bilinear behavior. The paper shows that while both time domain and frequency domain methods predict with high accuracy the modal characteristics of structures isolated by linear isolation system, their performance degrades appreciably when the isolation system exhibits bilinear behavior even when its strength assumes moderate values (say 5% of the weight). The paper also shows that the natural period of isolated structure that results from bilinear isolation systems can be satisfactorily predicted with wavelet analysis.

An adaptive predictive control for steam-reforming plant which consist of a steam-gas reformer and a waste heat steam-boiler was studied by using MIMO bilinear model. The simulation experiments of the process identification were performed by using linear and bilinear models. From the simulation results it was found that the bilinear model represented the dynamic behavior of a steam-reforming plant very well. ARMA model was used in the process identification and the adaptive predictive control. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the adaptive predictive controller proposed in this study the simulation results of steam-reforming plant control based on bilinear model were compared to those of linear model. The simulation results showed that the adaptive predictive controller based on bilinear model provides better performance than those of linear model.

Structural cracks may cause variations in structural stiffness and thus produce bilinear vibrations to structures. This study examines the dynamic behavior of structures with breathing cracks. A generalized algorithm based on the finite element method and bilinear theory was developed to study the influence of a breathing crack on the vibration characteristic. All the formulae derived in the time domain were applied to estimate the period of the overall bilinear motion cycle, and the contact effect was considered in the calculations by introducing the penetration of the crack surface. Changes in the dynamic characteristics of cracked structures are investigated by assessing the variation of natural frequencies under different crack status in either the open or closed modes. Results in estimation with vibrational behavior variation are significant compared with the experimental results available in the literature as well as other numerical calculations.

The paper making process itself is a typical nonlinear process with complicated dynamics. In the application of advanced control-methods especially for the grade change operations the nonlinear process is linearized to give suitable linear models to be used in the control strategies. However, the use of the linear model is limited within short range containing steady-state operating conditions for grade change operation. In this paper a bilinear model for the nonlinear grade change processes is presented. We can see that the dynamic behavior for grade change operations can be effective analyzed by using multivariable bilinear model.

An adaptive predictive level control of waste heat steam boiler was studied by using mathematical models considering the inverse response. The simulation experiments of the model identification were performed by using linear and bilinear models. From the results of simulations it was found that the bilinear model represented the actual dynamic behavior of steam boiler very well. ARMA model was used in the model identification and the adaptive predictive controller. To verify the performance and effectiveness of the adaptive predictive controller used in this study the simulation results of the adaptive predictive level control for waste heat steam boiler based on bilinear model were compared to those of P, PI and PID controller. The results of simulations showed that the adaptive predictive controller provides the fast arrival to setpoint of liquid level.

This paper examines whether the "effective period" of bilinear isolation systems, as defined invariably in most current design codes, expresses in reality the period of vibration that appears in the horizontal axis of the design response spectrum. Starting with the free vibration response, the study proceeds with a comprehensive parametric analysis of the forced vibration response of a wide collection of bilinear isolation systems subjected to pulse and seismic excitations. The study employs Fourier and Wavelet analysis together with a powerful time domain identification method for linear systems known as the Prediction Error Method. When the response history of the bilinear system exhibits a coherent oscillatory trace with a narrow frequency band as in the case of free vibration or forced vibration response from most pulselike excitations, the paper shows that the "effective period" = $T_{eff}$ of the bilinear isolation system is a dependable estimate of its vibration period; nevertheless, the period associated with the second slope of the bilinear system = $T_2$ is an even better approximation regardless the value of the dimensionless strength,$Q/(K_2u_y)=1/{\alpha}-1$, of the system. As the frequency content of the excitation widens and the intensity of the acceleration response history fluctuates more randomly, the paper reveals that the computed vibration period of the systems exhibits appreciably scattering from the computed mean value. This suggests that for several earthquake excitations the mild nonlinearities of the bilinear isolation system dominate the response and the expectation of the design codes to identify a "linear" vibration period has a marginal engineering merit.

강도한계 이선형 단자유도 시스템의 지진 하중 하에서의 동적 불안정에 대해 연구하였다. 강도한계 이선형 이력 모델은 철골 모멘트 골조의 이력거동을 가장 잘 모사한다. 단자유도 시스템의 동적 불안정을 판단하기 위해 붕괴 강도비를 사용하였고, 이것은 붕괴가 일어날 때의 항복강도 저감계수이다. 단단한 지반에서 측정된 240개의 지진을 이용하고 고유주기, 강성 경화 기울기, 음강성 기울기, 연성 그리고 $2{\sim}20%$의 감쇠비를 변수로 하여 강도한계 이선형 단자유도 시스템의 붕괴 강도비의 평균과 편차 값들을 구할 수 있도록 통계 분석을 하였다. 비선형 회귀분석을 통해 강도한계 이선형 단자유도 시스템의 붕괴 강도비의 평균과 표준편차를 계산할 수 있는 식을 구하였다. 제안한 식을 이용하여 붕괴 강도비의 확률적 분포를 구하였고, 실제 값과 비교하여 제안한 식의 정확성을 입증하였다.

대표적인 장대교량 형식인 사장교는 공용 중에 케이블 손상이 발생하는 경우 전체 구조계의 손상을 유발할 수 있으므로 신속한 유지관리가 필요하다. 손상발생 이후 대응시간을 가능한 단축하기 위해서 손상신호로부터 직접 이상거동을 판단할 수 있는 알고리즘에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이상거동 감지 알고리즘의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해서는 구조물의 다양한 손상에 대한 충분한 양의 계측결과가 필요하다. 그러나 공용중인 교량에 손상을 주어 이상거동을 계측할 수 없으므로 수치적인 방법으로 이상거동을 모사하는 것이 효율적인 대안이 될 수 있다. 사장교 케이블의 손상을 모사하는 지금까지의 연구는 케이블의 강성변화를 단순한 장력변화로만 모사하여 해석하는 방법이 주를 이루었다. 이러한 해석방법은 설계목적의 정밀도는 확보할 수 있지만 케이블의 손상에 의한 구조물의 정확한 응답을 재현하지 못한다. 본 연구는 사장교의 손상을 모사하기 위해 강성 및 질량의 변화를 고려하는 직접적분법 Gradual Bilinear Method (GBM)을 제안하고 해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 해석방법을 단순모델을 이용하여 검증하고 실제 사장교모델을 이용하여 손상시각 및 손상지연시간에 따른 응답의 변화를 관찰하였다. 수행된 연구결과는 향후 건축/대형구조물의 안전관리를 위한 고정밀도 이상거동 감지알고리즘을 개발하고 검증하는데 활용될 수 있다.

탄소섬유시트 보강공법은 콘크리트구조물의 보강에 많이 사용되는 보강공법이다. 이러한 탄소섬유 보강공법에서는 콘크리트와 CFRP시트 사이의 경계면 거동이 전체 보강구조물의 거동을 지배하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 탄소섬유시트 보강공법을 적용한 콘크리트구조물의 경계면 거동에 대한 기존의 연구들을 고찰하고, 이를 바탕으로 경계면 부착거동해석에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 새로운 bond-slip model을 제시하고, 경계면의 부착거동을 해석할 수 있는 해석 기법을 제안하였다. 새롭게 제시된 bond-slip model은 기존의 bilinear bond-slip model을 개선한 것으로서, 전단응력이 증가하는 구간을 2개의 직선구간으로 구성하고, 전단응력이 감소하는 구간을 지수함수로 구성한 것이다. 제안된 bond-slip model은 기존의 부착전단 실험 결과 및 경계면 거동 모델들과의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다.

In this study, the concrete fracture energy was obtained using the three point notched beam test method developed by Hillerborg et al. (Cem Concr Res 6(6):773-782, 1976). A total of 12 notched concrete beams were tested under two different loading conditions: constant stroke control and constant crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) control. Despite individual fracture energies obtained from the two different loading conditions showing some variation, the average fracture energy from both loading conditions was very similar. Furthermore, the results obtained support the idea that a far tail constant "A" could change the true fracture energy by up to 11 %, if it is calculated using CMOD instead of LVDT. The far tail constant "A" is determined using a least squares fit onto a straight line according to Elices et al. (Mater Struct 25(148):212-218, 1992) and RILEM report (2007). It was also observed that the selection of the end point can produce variations of the true fracture energy. The end point indicates the point in the experiment at which to stop. An end point of 2 mm has been recommended, however, in this study other end points were also considered. The final form of the bilinear softening curve was determined based on Elices and Guinea's methods (1992, 1994) and RILEM report (2007). This paper proposes a bilinear stress-crack opening displacement curve according to test results as well as the CEB-FIP model code.
