For the evaluation of the capability of a tubular member of an offshore structure to absorb the collision energy, a simple method can be employed for the collision analysis without performing the detailed analysis. The most common simple method is the rigid-plastic method. However, in this method any characteristics for horizontal movement and rotation at the ends of the corresponding tubular member are not included. In a real structural system of an offshore structure, tubular members sustain a certain degree of elastic support from the adjacent structure. End fixity has influences in the behaviors of a tubular member. Three-dimensional FEM analysis can include the effect of end fixity fully, however in viewpoints of the inherent computational complexities of the 3-D approach, this is not the recommendable analysis at the initial design stage. In this paper, influence of end fixity on the behaviors of a tubular member is investigated, through a new approach and other approaches. A new analysis approach that includes the flexibility of the boundary points of the member is developed here. The flexibility at the ends of a tubular element is extracted using the rational reduction of the modeling characteristics. The property reduction is based on the static condensation of the related global stiffness matrix of a model to end nodal points of the tubular element. The load-displacement relation at the collision point of the tubular member with and without the end flexibility is obtained and compared. The new method lies between the rigid-plastic method and the 3-demensional analysis. It is self-evident that the rigid-plastic method gives high strengthening membrane effect of the member during global deformation, resulting in a steeper slope than the present method. On the while, full 3-D analysis gives less strengthening membrane effect on the member, resulting in a slow going load-displacement curve. Comparison of the load-displacement curves by the new approach with those by conventional methods gives the figures of the influence of end fixity on post-yielding behaviors of the relevant tubular member. One of the main contributions of this investigation is the development of an analytical rational procedure to figure out the post-yielding behaviors of a tubular member in offshore structures.

The finite element method is used for the study of the eigenvalue problems of partially fixed end beams with intermediate elastic supports. The elastic critical loads and natural frquencies of the beams are investigated by changing the numbers of elastic supports and their stiffness, and also by changing Kinney's fixity factor, $f_a$. The relationship between two eigenvalues is established by calculating the corresponding values of $(w/w_n)^2$ through changing $(P/P_{cr})$ values. The results of this study are as follows : (1) The elastic critical loads and natural frequencies of beams increase with increases in Kinney's fixity factor, $f_a$ and with the increased numbers of intermediate elastic supports. (2) The relationship between elastic critical loads and the natural frequencies of partially fixed end beams with intermediated elastic supports is $P/P_{cr} + (w/w_n)^2/ = 1$ without regard to Kinney's fixity factor, the stiffness of elastic supports, or the number of elastic supports.

Steel angles are widely used in roof trusses as web and chord members and in lattice towers. Very often angle members are connected eccentrically. As a result, not only an angle member is under an axial force, but it is also subject to a pair of end eccentric moments. Moreover, the connection at each end provides some fixity so neither pinned nor the fixed end represents the reality. Many national design codes allow for the effects due to eccentricities by modifying the slenderness ratio and reducing the compressive strength of the member. However, in practice, it is difficult to determine accurately the effective length. The concept behind this method is inconsistent with strength design of members of other cross-sectional types such as I or box sections of which the buckling strength is controlled by the Perry constant or the initial imperfection parameters. This paper proposes a method for design of angle frames and trusses by the second-order analysis. The equivalent initial imperfection-to-length ratios for equal and unequal angles to compensate the negligence of initial curvatures, load eccentricities and residual stresses are determined in this paper. From the obtained results, the values of imperfection-to-length ratios are suggested for design and analysis of angle steel trusses allowing for member buckling strength based on the Perry-Robertson formula.

본 논문은 반 잠수식 시추선과 선박과의 충돌해석에의 정적 압축법의 응용에 대해 다루었다. 선박이 시추선의 취약 부재에 충돌하는 경우를 가정하였으며 이 취약한 부재의 충돌에너지 흡수능력을 상세 해석 없이 추출하는 방법으로, 관련된 구조물 전체 강성 매트릭스를 부재의 양단에 정적 압축을 시켜 양단 유연도를 추출한 뒤 이 유연도를 양단에 가진 원통형 부재를 해석함으로써 외력-변형 관계를 얻을수 있었다. 충돌에너지 양은 외력-변형 선도를 적분함으로써 얻을 수 있다. 새로운 방법에 의한 결과를 3차원 수치해석 방법과 강체 프라스틱 방법에 의해서 얻어진 결과와 상호 비교하였으며, 이 새로운 방법이 해양구조물 충돌해석이 매우 효과적으로 응용될 수 있음을 알게 되었다.

최근에는 건축물의 대형화, 고층화라는 시대적인 흐름과 요구로 인해서 철골 구조의 수요가 급증하고 있다. 일반적인 철골 구조의 해석은 접합부를 강접합과 단순접합으로 가정하여 수행되고 있는데, 강접합(Fixed connection)의 경우에는 절점에 연결된 각 부재의 변형 전 상대적인 각도가 변형 후에도 그대로 유지된다고 가정하므로 접합부가 충분한 강성을 발휘하고 안정성을 확보하도록 패널존 부분에 스티프너로 보강을 한다. 하지만 인건비 상승과 함께 강접 접합부의 제작비가 과도해짐으로 경제성 측면에서 스티프너 보강을 생략한 접합부의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 반면, 단순접합(Pinned connection)의 경우에는 단순보처럼 거동하여 보와 기둥 사이에 휨모멘트가 전달되지 않는다고 가정한다. 이는 공장제작이 간단하고, 시공이 간편한 장점이 있으나 접합부에서 모멘트를 전달할 수 없어서 구조적인 효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 반강접의 도입은 단면치수 결정의 효율성을 증대하고, 현장에서의 부재조립 용이성, 골조 전체의 안전성 확보 등의 이점이 있어서 외국의 경우, 보-기둥 접합부의 실제적인 거동을 파악하기 위해서 계속적인 노력을 해왔고 그 결과를 규준에 적용하고 있다. 본 논문은 미국 AISC의 LRFD 설계규준을 참고하여 국내 강재를 적용한 반강접의 구조해석을 실시해서 각 강재에 대한 자료은행을 만들 것이고 이상화된 접합부의 구조해석 결과와 비교하여 경제성 측면, 단부 고정계수, 회전강성과 함께 반강접을 고려한 구조물의 설계 방안을 제시 하고자 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical expression for computing crack angles based on reinforcement volumes in the longitudinal and transverse directions, member end-fixity and length-to-width aspect ratio. For this a reinforced concrete beam-column element is assumed to possess a series of potential crack planes represented by a number of differential truss elements. Depending on the boundary condition, a constant angle truss or a variable angle truss is employed to model the cracked structural concrete member. The truss models are then analyzed using the virtual work method of analysis to relate forces and deformations. Rigorous and simplified solution schemes are presented. An equation to estimate the theoretical crack angle is derived by considering the energy minimization on the virtual work done over both the shear and flexural components the energy minimization on the virtual work done over both the shear and flexural components of truss models. The crack angle in this study is defined as the steepest one among fan-shaped angles measured from the longitudinal axis of the member to the diagonal crack. The theoretical crack angle predictions are validated against experimentally observed crack angle reported by previous researchers in the literature. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.

Although the aircraft industry was the first to use fibre composites, now they are increasingly used in a range of structural applications such as flooring, decking, platforms and roofs. Interlayer delamination is a major failure mode which threatens the reliability of composite structures. Delamination can grow in size under increasing loads with time and hence leads to severe loss of structural integrity and stiffness reduction. Delamination reduces the natural frequency and as a consequence may result in resonance. Hence, the study of the effects of delamination on the free vibration behaviour of multilayer composite structures is imperative. The focus of this paper is to develop a 3D FE model and investigate the free vibration behaviour of fibre composite multilayer sandwich panels with interlayer delaminations. A series of parametric studies are conducted to assess the influence of various parameters of concern, using a commercially available finite element package. Additionally, selected points in the delaminated region are connected appropriately to simulate bolting as a remedial measure to fasten the delamination region in the aim of reducing the effects of delamination. First order shear deformation theory based plate elements have been used to model each sandwich layer. The findings suggest that the delamination size and the end fixity of the plate are the most important factors responsible for stiffness reduction due to delamination damage in composite laminates. It is also revealed that bolting the delaminated region can significantly reduce the natural frequency variation due to delamination thereby improving the dynamic performance.
