기계 구조물에서 부재의 결합부가 시스템 전체의 동적 거동에 매우 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 동적인 응답의 정확한 예측은 이러한 결합부를 어떻게 모델링 하느냐에 달려 있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 본 논문에서는 결합부의 유연성을 정량적으로 표현하기 위하여 서로 대칭이고 마주보는 외팔보의 중앙에 선형 및 비틀림 스프링을 결합부에 이식하였다. 이를 바탕으로 결합부의 강성 변화에 따른 시스템의 재해석은 축약법과 유한요소법으로 계산하였다. 이항 급수로 표현되는 기저 벡터의 수에 따라서 전체 모델의 크기는 획기적으로 감소되어 축약 모델로 매우 짧은 시간에 효율적으로 계산할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 두 가지 경우의 수치해석 예가 제시되어 축약 모델의 결과가 정밀해와 잘 일치함을 보여주고 있다.

Expressions for determining the value of the impact force as reported in the literature and incorporated into code provisions are essentially quasi-static forces for emulating deflection. Quasi-static forces are not to be confused with contact force which is generated in the vicinity of the point of contact between the impactor and target, and contact force is responsible for damage featuring perforation and denting. The distinction between the two types of forces in the context of impact actions is not widely understood and few guidelines have been developed for their estimation. The value of the contact force can be many times higher than that of the quasi-static force and lasts for a matter of a few milli-seconds whereas the deflection of the target can evolve over a much longer time span. The stiffer the impactor the shorter the period of time to deliver the impulsive action onto the target and consequently the higher the peak value of the contact force. This phenomenon is not taken into account by any contemporary codified method of modelling impact actions which are mostly based on the considerations of momentum and energy principles. Computer software such as LS-DYNA has the capability of predicting contact force but the dynamic stiffness parameters of the impactor material which is required for input into the program has not been documented for debris materials. The alternative, direct, approach for an accurate evaluation of the damage potential of an impact scenario is by physical experimentation. However, it can be difficult to extrapolate observations from laboratory testings to behaviour in real scenarios when the underlying principles have not been established. Contact force is also difficult to measure. Thus, the amount of useful information that can be retrieved from isolated impact experiments to guide design and to quantify risk is very limited. In this paper, practical methods for estimating the amount of contact force that can be generated by the impact of a fallen debris object are introduced along with the governing principles. An experimental-calibration procedure forming part of the assessment procedure has also been verified.

인두는 구강과 식도, 비강과 폐의 중간에서 능동적으로 구강을 통해 섭취되는 음식물과 비강을 통해 흡입되는 공기의 통로역할을 하는 주요한 기관이다. 본 연구는 유한요소기법을 이용한 인두의 3차원 구조의 재구성 과정을 거쳐 인두의 생체역학모델을 구현하였으며, 연하곤란환자의 인두근육의 주요부분에 대한 구조적 변형특성을 3가지로 분류하여 유한요소기법을 이용하여 인두내의 압력에 대한 형상의 변형을 관찰 후 최적화 과정을 거쳐 각 부분에서의 추정 압력 구배를 측정하여 연하과정에서 내부에 생성되는 압력의 연속적인 압력분포를 추정하였다. CT에 의한 인두의 변형 형상을 추정하여 임의 압력에 의한 인두구조의 변형 형상을 유한요소 해석에 의해 계산한 후 비교하여 실제 인두강 내에 형성되는 압력을 추정하였다. 재료적 특성은 인두의 기능이상 시 근조직경화가 발생, 즉 stiffness 가 증가하는 것으로 가정하여 응력-변형률 관계에 있어서 각각 $25\%,\;50\%,\;75\%$씩 증가시켜 분석하였다. 이러한 인두의 생체역학모델은 인두기능장애를 가진 환자의 치료 계획 수립에 도움이 되는 유용한 자료를 제공 할 것으로 생각된다.

발파에 대한 주변 구조물이나 사면의 안정성은 경험적 진동감쇠식 또는 발파진동 동적 수치해석을 통하여 평가한다. 동적해석을 수행하기 위해서는 발파하중과 지반 감쇠비의 산정이 필요하다. 발파하중에 대해서는 다양한 경험적 방법이 제시되었지만 암반의 감쇠비에 대한 연구는 제한적이며 해석 시 이를 무시하거나 명확한 근거 없이 가정하여 해석에 적용하고 있다. 암반의 감쇠비는 절리의 영향을 크게 받으므로 이를 고려해서 산정해야 한다. 또한, 평면파로 가정할 수 있는 지진파와는 다르게 발파 시에는 구면파가 생성되며 이를 2차원 해석에서 모사하는 경우에는 이의 기하학적 확산을 고려하기 위하여 감쇠비를 조정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 위의 두 가지 영향이 고려된 2차원 평면변형률 연속체 해석에 적용 가능한 암반의 등가감쇠비를 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 다양한 강성의 암반에 대한 2차원 동적해석을 수행하여 암반의 감쇠비에 따른 진동전파 특성을 분석하였으며 해석결과를 기반으로 진동감쇠식-전단파속도-등가감쇠비와의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 제시된 상관관계는 경험적 진동감쇠식에 상응하는 감쇠비를 산정한 최초의 시도로 중요한 의미가 있으며 동시에 실무에도 쉽게 적용될 수 있는 유용한 방법이다.

Transmission tower-line systems are commonly slender and generally possess a small stiffness and low structural damping. They are prone to impulsive excitations induced by cable rupture and may experience strong vibration. Excessive deformation and vibration of a transmission tower-line system subjected to cable rupture may induce a local destruction and even failure event. A little work has yet been carried out to evaluate the performance of transmission tower-line systems in mountain areas subjected to cable rupture. In addition, the control for cable rupture induced vibration of a transmission tower-line system has not been systematically conducted. In this regard, the dynamic response analysis of a transmission tower-line system in mountain areas subjected to cable rupture is conducted. Furthermore, the feasibility of using viscous fluid dampers to suppress the cable rupture-induced vibration is also investigated. The three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of a transmission tower-line system is first established and the mathematical model of a mountain is developed to describe the equivalent scale and configuration of a mountain. The model of a tower-line-mountain system is developed by taking a real transmission tower-line system constructed in China as an example. The mechanical model for the dynamic interaction between the ground and transmission lines is proposed and the mechanical model of a viscous fluid damper is also presented. The equations of motion of the transmission tower-line system subjected to cable rupture without/with viscous fluid dampers are established. The field measurement is carried out to verify the analytical FE model and determine the damping ratios of the example transmission tower-line system. The dynamic analysis of the tower-line system is carried out to investigate structural performance under cable rupture and the validity of the proposed control approach based on viscous fluid dampers is examined. The made observations demonstrate that cable rupture may induce strong structural vibration and the implementation of viscous fluid dampers with optimal parameters can effectively suppress structural responses.

This study explores the inelastic behavior of systems with flexible base. The use of a single degree of freedom system (ESDOF) with equivalent ductility to represent the response of flexible base systems is discussed. Two different equations to compute equivalent ductility are proposed, one which includes the contribution of rigid body components, and other based on the overstrength of the structure. In order to asses the accuracy of ESDOF approach with the proposed equations, the behavior of a 10-story regular building with reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting frames is studied. Local and global ductility capacity and demands are used to study the modifications introduced by base flexibility. Three soil types are considered with shear wave velocities of 70, 100 and 250 m/s. Soil-foundation stiffness is included with a set of springs on the base (impedance functions). Capacity curves of the building are computed with pushover analysis. In addition, non linear time history analysis are used to asses the ductility demands. Results show that ductility capacity of the soil-structure system including rigid body components is reduced. Base flexibility does not modify neither yield and maximum base shear. Equivalent ductility estimated with the proposed equations is fits better the results of the numerical model than the one considering elastoplastic behavior. Modification of beams ductility demand due to base flexibility are not constant within the structure. Some elements experience reduced ductility demands while other elements experience increments when flexible base is considered. Soil structure interaction produces changes in the relation between yield strength reduction factor and structure ductility demand. These changes are dependent on the spectral shape and the period of the system with fixed and flexible base.

In this paper, a method is presented to identify the physical and modal parameters of multistory shear building based on substructural technique using block pulse generalized operational matrix and genetic algorithm. The substructure approach divides a complete structure into several substructures in order to significantly reduce the number of unknown parameters for each substructure so that identification processes can be independently conducted on each substructure. Block pulse functions are set of orthogonal functions that have been used in recent years as useful tools in signal characterization. Assuming that the input-outputs data of the system are known, their original BP coefficients can be calculated using numerical method. By using generalized BP operational matrices, substructural dynamic vibration equations can be converted into algebraic equations and based on BP coefficient for each story can be estimated. A cost function can be defined for each story based on original and estimated BP coefficients and physical parameters such as mass, stiffness and damping can be obtained by minimizing cost functions with genetic algorithm. Then, the modal parameters can be computed based on physical parameters. This method does not require that all floors are equipped with sensor simultaneously. To prove the validity, numerical simulation of a shear building excited by two different normally distributed random signals is presented. To evaluate the noise effect, measurement random white noise is added to the noise-free structural responses. The results reveal the proposed method can be beneficial in structural identification with less computational expenses and high accuracy.

Graphene is one of the strongest, stiffest, and lightest nanoscale materials known to date, making it a potentially viable and attractive candidate for developing lightweight structural composites to prevent high-velocity ballistic impact, as commonly encountered in defense and space sectors. In-plane twist in bilayer graphene has recently revealed unprecedented electronic properties like superconductivity, which has now started attracting the attention for other multi-physical properties of such twisted structures. For example, the latest studies show that twisting can enhance the strength and stiffness of graphene by many folds, which in turn creates a strong rationale for their prospective exploitation in high-velocity impact. The present article investigates the ballistic performance of twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) nanostructures. We have employed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, augmented further by coupling gaussian process-based machine learning, for the nanoscale characterization of various tBLG structures with varying relative rotation angle (RRA). Spherical diamond impactors (with a diameter of 25Å) are enforced with high initial velocity (V_i) in the range of 1 km/s to 6.5 km/s to observe the ballistic performance of tBLG nanostructures. The specific penetration energy (E_p^*) of the impacted nanostructures and residual velocity (V_r) of the impactor are considered as the quantities of interest, wherein the effect of stochastic system parameters is computationally captured based on an efficient Gaussian process regression (GPR) based Monte Carlo simulation approach. A data-driven sensitivity analysis is carried out to quantify the relative importance of different critical system parameters. As an integral part of this study, we have deterministically investigated the resonant behaviour of graphene nanostructures, wherein the high-velocity impact is used as the initial actuation mechanism. The comprehensive dynamic investigation of bilayer graphene under the ballistic impact, as presented in this paper including the effect of twisting and random disorder for their prospective exploitation, would lead to the development of improved impact-resistant lightweight materials.

본 연구는 실제 발전소 내 운영 설비의 고정부에 사용되는 앵커에 대하여 지진 발생 시 안전성을 평가하는 것이 주된 목적이다. 이에 따라 운영 설비와 같은 비 구조적 구성 요소의 고정부 앵커에 실제 지진이 발생하였을 경우 발생되는 하중에 대한 응답을 조사하기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실제 다양한 형태를 갖는 비구조요소를 연구하는 데는 경제적, 공간적 제약이 있기 때문에 프레임과 질량으로 구성된 대체 시험체를 제작하여 진동대 시험을 수행하였다. 고정부 콘크리트 앵커의 동적 특성과 내진성능을 평가하기 위해 진동대 시험을 통해 대상 구조물의 고유 진동수를 파악한 후 실제 지진과 같은 인공 지진 효과를 발생시켜 실험을 수행하였다. 결론적으로 시험체에 볼트를 이용하여 강철 프레임을 고정시켜 구조적 강성을 확보하였으며, 이에 따라 고정부 앵커에 전달되는 하중이 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 해석적 접근을 통하여 실험에 대한 신뢰성 검증 및 현장 여건 상 수행되지 못한 부분에 대하여 연구를 수행할 예정이다.
