This study presents stiffness-based optimal design to control quantitatively lateral drift of frame-shear wall structures subject to seismic loads. To this end, lateral drift constraints are established by introducing approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems. Also, the relationships of sectional properties are established to reduce the number of design variables and resizing technique of member is developed under the 'constant-shape' assumption. Specifically, the methodology of dynamic displacement sensitivity analysis is developed to formulate the approximated lateral displacement constraints. The 12 story frame-shear wall structural models is considered to illustrate the features of dynamic stiffness-based optimal design technique proposed in this study.

본 연구에서는 지진하중을 받는 고층 RC 골조구조물의 횡변위를 정량적으로 제어할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 수학적인 일반성을 가지면서 큰 규모의 문제도 효율적으로 다룰 수 있는 근사화 개념을 도입하여 횡변위 구속조건식을 설정한다. 아울러 구조부재의 단면특성 관계식을 설정함으로써 설계변수의 수를 줄여주고, 초기에 주어진 단면형상이 최적설계 과정동안 계속 유지된다는 가정을 이용하여 최적설계결과에서 구해진 단면특성에 따라 부재단면크기를 산출하는 방안을 강구한다. 특히 근사화된 횡변위구속조건식을 정식화 하기 위해 동적 변위민감도해석 방안이 고려된다. 이와 같이 제시된 동적 강성최적설계 기법의 효용성을 검토하기 위해 10층과 50층 규모의 삼차원 RC 골조구조물 모델이 고려된다.

This paper discusses several design factors of a capacitance displacement sensor with a numerical method and several experiments and describes guide lines of the design of this type sensor. We introduce the charge density method for the analysis of this type sensor, which has feasible accuracy and efficiency. The analysis of this type sensor with the charge density method agrees with displacement sensitivity experiments of a circular plate capacitance sensor with the sensor amp based In the charge transfer principle.

This paper discusses numerically and experimenally several design parameters for the plate- type capacitive displacement sensor. The influenences of shape of this sensor on the sensitivity are numerically analyzed with the charge density method. Using many test sensor plates of different shape for verifing the validity of this method can not guarantee the repetibility of experiments. Therefore we made specially the test sensor plate so that experiments of effects of shape of this sensor on sensitivity can be done with only that plate. Results from these experiments agree well with those from numerical analysis.

Design sensitivity analysis method for the vibration of vehicle structure is developed using adjoint variable method. A variational approach with complex response method is used to derive sensitivity expression. To evaluate sensitivity, FEM analysis of ship deck and vehicle structure are performed using MSC/NASTRAN on the super computer CRAY2S, and sensitivity computation is carried on PC. The accuracy of sensitivity is verified by the results of finite difference method. When compared to structural analysis time on CRAY2S, sensitivity computation is remarkably economical. The sensitivity of vehicle frame can be used to reduce the vibration responses such as displacement and acceleration of vehicle.

Using an efficient adjoint variable method, we develop a unified design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method considering both steady state nonlinear heat conduction and geometrical nonlinear elasticity problems. Design sensitivity expressions with respect to thermal conductivity and Young's modulus are derived. Beside the temperature and displacement adjoint equations, another coupled one is defined regarding the obtained adjoint displacement field as the adjoint load in temperature field. The developed DSA method is shown to be very efficient and further extended to a topology design optimization method for the nonlinear weakly coupled thermo-elasticity problems using a density approach.

This paper focuses on the finite element (FE) response sensitivity and reliability analyses considering smooth constitutive material models. A reinforced concrete frame is modeled for FE sensitivity analysis followed by direct differentiation method under both static and dynamic load cases. Later, the reliability analysis is performed to predict the seismic behavior of the frame. Displacement sensitivity discontinuities are observed along the pseudo-time axis using non-smooth concrete and reinforcing steel model under quasi-static loading. However, the smooth materials show continuity in response sensitivity at elastic to plastic transition points. The normalized sensitivity results are also used to measure the relative importance of the material parameters on the structural responses. In FE reliability analysis, the influence of smoothness behavior of reinforcing steel is carefully noticed. More efficient and reasonable reliability estimation can be achieved by using smooth material model compare with bilinear material constitutive model.

In this paper, a continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is developed for the weakly coupled thermo-elasticity problems. The temperature and displacement fields are described in a common domain. Boundary value problems such as an equilibrium equation and a heat conduction equation in steady state are considered. The direct differentiation method of continuum-based DSA is employed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of sensitivity computation. We derive design sensitivity expressions with respect to thermal conductivity in heat conduction problem and Young's modulus in equilibrium equation. The sensitivities are evaluated using the finite element method. The obtained analytical sensitivities are compared with the finite differencing to yield very accurate results. Extensive developments of this method are useful and applicable for the optimal design problems incorporating welding and thermal deformation problems.

Bonded tendons have been used in reactor buildings at some operating nuclear power plants in Korea. Assessing prestress force on these bonded tendons has become an important pending problem in efforts to assure continued operation beyond their design life. The System Identification (SI) technique was thus developed to improve upon the existing indirect assessment technique for bonded tendons. As a first step, this study analyzed the sensitivity of the key parameters to prestress force, and then determined the optimal parameters for the SI technique. A total of six scaled post-tensioned concrete beams with bonded tendons were manufactured. In order to investigate the correlation of the natural frequency and the displacement to prestress force, an impact test, a Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) sine sweep test, and a bending test using an optical fiber sensor and compact displacement transducer were carried out. These tests found that both the natural frequency and the displacement show a good correlation with prestress force and that both parameters are available for the SI technique to predict prestress force. However, displacements by the optical fiber sensor and compact displacement transducer were shown to be more sensitive than the natural frequency to prestress force. Such displacements are more useful than the natural frequency as an input parameter for the SI technique.
