The risk-based assessment, also called time-based assessment of structure is usually performed to provide seismic risk evaluation of a target structure for its entire life-cycle, e.g. 50 years. The prediction of collapse probability is the estimator in the risk-based assessment. While the risk-based assessment is the key in the performance-based earthquake engineering, its application is very limited because this evaluation method is very expensive in terms of simulation and computational efforts. So the evaluation database for many archetype structures usually serve as representative of the specific system. However, there is no such an assessment performed for building stocks in Korea. Consequently, the performance objective of current building code, KBC is not clear at least in a quantitative way. This shortcoming gives an unresolved issue to insurance industry, socio-economic impact, seismic safety policy in national and local governments. In this study, we evaluate the comprehensive seismic performance of an low-rise residential buildings with discontinuous structural walls, so called piloti-type structure which is commonly found in low-rise domestic building stocks. The collapse probability is obtained using the risk integral of a conditioned collapse capacity function and regression of current hazard curve. Based on this approach it is expected to provide a robust tool to seismic safety policy as well as seismic risk analysis such as Probable Maximum Loss (PML) commonly used in the insurance industry.

탄소성 보구조물의 정적 변형은 하중의 크기가 소성붕괴력 $F_c$ 보다 작게 될 때만 적용된다. 그러나 충격이나 폭발 상황에서 소성 붕괴력을 넘는 하중을 받는 보 구조물은 정적인 탄소성 변형과 다른 응답특성을 보이게 된다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 구조 모델로서 강-완전 소성 외팔보를 도입하여 소성 붕괴력보다 큰 하중 ($F>F_c$)이 작용하였을 때 구조물의 응답특성을 연구하였다. 계단 하중(step loading)이 가해졌을 경우에 보의 운동을 무차원하여 계산하고 이 결과를 사각형파 하중(rectangular force pulse)이 가해지는 경우에도 이용하여 해석하였다. 해석 수행 결과 무차원화된 힘을 나타내는 파라메타인 $f{\equiv}F/F_c$의 함수로서 보의 변위를 나타낼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

대용량의 다각형 표면 데이터를 효과적으로 감소시키는 많은 간략화 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 이들 간략화 기법들은 정점, 에지, 삼각형 등과 같은 기본적인 간략화 단위에 대해 자신의 붕괴 비용함수를 적용하여 간략화 전후의 에러를 최소화 한다. 기존의 제안된 비용 함수들은 대부분 거리최적화에 기반 한 에러 측정방법을 사용한다. 그러나 기본적으로 스칼라 값인 거리요소 만으로는 현재 메쉬의 지역적인 특징을 정확히 정의하기 어렵다. 따라서 곡률이 심한 지역의 특징 정보를 유지하지 못함으로써 간략화 단계를 높일수록 원래의 세부적인 모양을 잃어버리는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 표면의 방향과 같은 벡터성분을 비용함수의 요소로서 고려한다. 표면의 방향성분은 거리와 같은 스칼라 양에 비의존적이다. 따라서 작은 스칼라 양을 갖는 요소라도 이의 벡터성분의 크기에 따라 보존 여부를 재고할 수 있다. 또한 제안된 비용함수를 바탕으로 하는 반-에지 붕괴에 기반 한 간략화 알고리즘을 개발한다. 이는 객체의 제거 후에 기존 에지의 두 정점 중 하나를 이용하여 새로운 정점을 표현하는 방법으로서 저장공간 상의 이점이 있으며 대용량 표면데이터의 실시간 전송을 요하는 렌더링 시스템에 매우 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다.

In this paper a new theory is presented to treat the problem of stimulated absorption and emission of photons between energy levels from the standpoint of discrete quantum jumps. In order to implement the theory a scheme to avoid the quantum Zeno effect is proposed. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate that this approach does not contradict the principles of the standard wave mechanics. It is shown that with this approach one can obtain photon observation statistics as well.

The Wielen dip over the ragne of 6 < $M_{\upsilon}$ < 9 in the luminosity function (LF) for the solar neighborhood stars could be explained by the combination of two different IMFs which yields the age of 13 billion years of the solar neighborhood. This smaller age than the Galactic age, 15 billion years indicates the slow collapse model of the Galaxy, solving the G-dwarf problem. Two different IMFs suggest two different mechanisms for star formation in the solar neighborhood.

Metallic annular discs with their outer boundary fully constrained are studied with newly derived semi-analytical solutions for the effects of thickness variations under thermal loading and unloading. The plane stress and axisymmetric assumptions were adopted, and the thickness of the disk depends on the radius hyperbolically with an exponent n. Furthermore, it is assumed that the stress state is two dimensional and temperature is uniform in the domain. The solutions include the elastic, elastic-plastic and plastic-collapse behavior, depending on the values of temperature. The von Mises type yield criterion is adopted in this work. The material properties, Young's modulus, yield stress and thermal expansion coefficient, are assumed temperature dependent, while the Poisson's ratio is assumed to be temperature independent. It is found that for any n values, if the normalized hole radius a greater than 0.6, the normalized temperature difference between the elastically reversible temperature and plastic collapse temperature is a monotonically decreasing function of inner radius. For small holes, the n values have strong effects on the normalized temperature difference. Furthermore, it is shown that thickness variations may have stronger effects on the strain distributions when temperature-dependent material properties are considered.

The quantile residual life function has been effectively used to interpret results from the analysis of the proportional hazards model for censored survival data; however, the quantile residual life function is not always estimable with currently available semi-parametric regression methods in the presence of heavy censoring. A parametric regression approach may circumvent the difficulty of heavy censoring, but parametric assumptions on a baseline hazard function can cause a potential bias. This article proposes a Bayesian semi-parametric regression approach for inference on an unknown baseline hazard function while adjusting for available covariates. We consider a model-based approach but the proposed method does not suffer from strong parametric assumptions, enjoying a closed-form specification of the parametric regression approach without sacrificing the flexibility of the semi-parametric regression approach. The proposed method is applied to simulated data and heavily censored survival data to estimate various quantile residual lifetimes and adjust for important prognostic factors.

It is well known that the topology optimization for plastic problem is not easy since the iterative analyses to evaluate the objective and cost function with respect to the design variation are very time-consuming. The finite element limit analysis is an efficient tool which is possible to predict collapse modes and sequential collapse loads of a structure considering not only large deformation but also plastic material behavior with moderate computing cost. In this paper, the optimum topology of a structure considering large and plastic deformation is obtained using the finite element limit analysis. To verify the constructed optimization code, topology optimizations of some typical problems are performed and the optimal topologies by elastic design and plastic design are compared.

Front side member of the front impacted vehicle plays a key role in minimizing the impacting load transferred to the compartment. To perform that required function, axial collapse should be dominant during side member crashing and, prior to designing side member, it is crucial to minimize bending moment occurred at the front end. In this study, for FE model of a SUV front body, front impact analyses were carried to find out bumper stay design which effectively develope axial collapse in the side member. As a previous work, the thickness of side member reinforcement were changed. Next, the inner thickness of bumper stay was increased. Also, the bead shape and location were modified. Final front body model showed much more axial collapsed mode and enhanced crash performance. In addition, a stay of octagon section was adopted and that model exhibited distinctive increase in impact energy absorption.

This study is to investigate the energy absorption characteristics of CFRP(Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastics) tubes on static and dynamic tests. Axial static compression tests have been carried out using the static testing machine(Shin-gang buckling testing machine) and dynamic compression tests have been utilized using an vertical crushing testing machine. When such tubes are subjected to crushing loads, the response is complex and depends on the interaction between the different mechanisms that could control the crushing process. The collapse characteristics and energy absorption have been examined for various tubes. Energy absorption of the tubes are increased as changes in the lay-up which may increase the modulus of tubes. The results have been varied significantly as a function of ply orientation and interlaminar number.
