The roll response of a ship to random beam seas is investigated in terms of the threshold crossing process. The non-white excitation process is modeled as an equivalent white-noise one based on the assumption that the upcrossing properties of the response can be approximately replaced by the excitation with a white noise process with a suitable intensity. Then the non-linear damping is reinstated. The reinstated equation of motion with the equivalent white-noise intensity is solved using the equivalent non-linear method to get the desired probability density function. The proposed scheme is tested extensively with varing coefficients.

A rapid one-shot alignment method of the Strapdown INS (SDINS) for a vertical launch is proposed. The proposed alignment is performed using the accelerometer output of the Slave INS and the attitude of the Master INS. To improve the accuracy and the speed of the alignment, the equivalent linear transformation and the pre-filtering method are developed. Experiment results show that the proposed method is effective in improving the accuracy and the speed of the alignment.

The characters of linear response of ship among irregular waves were researched. But nonlinear characters of ship motion in irregular waves have not been considered. Then the author showed a method to linearize nonlinearity of damping coefficient of ship by making statistically equivalent linear theory and get equivalent gain K from the condition that the difference of variance between linear response and approximate response is minimum and show that the results of correlogram and spectrum, obtained from this method, for model 700 GT Ferry boat agree with the actual response. The author pays a particular attention not to the nonlinear element but to nonlinear system itself.

The equivalent load method has been widely used in the design and analysis of prestressed concrete structures. The purpose of this paper is to explore several important method of obtaining equivalent loads and to clarify the advantages and limitations of each method. The methods devised in this study include the use of curvature of tendon, characteristics of primary moment, self-equilibrium conditions, and linear segments approximation of tendon. It is shown that equivalent lading system is not uniquely determined in some cases and careful engineering judgement is required from the view point of accuracy and practical convenience.

The environmental load of concrete pavement can be categorized by temperature and moisture loads, which mean temperature distribution, and drying shrinkage and creep in the concrete slab. In this study, a method calculating the environmental load essential to mechanistic design of airport concrete pavement was developed. First, target area and design slab thickness were determined. And, the concrete temperature distribution with slab depth was predicted by a pavement temperature prediction program to calculate equivalent linear temperature difference. The concrete drying shrinkage was predicted by improving an existing model to calculate differential shrinkage equivalent linear temperature difference considering regional relative humidity. In addition, the stress relaxation was considered in the drying shrinkage. Eventually, the equivalent linear temperature difference due to temperature and the differential shrinkage equivalent linear temperature difference due to moisture were combined into the total equivalent linear temperature difference as terminal environmental load. The environmental load of eight civilian and two military airports which represent domestic regional weather conditions were calculated and compared by the method developed in this study to show its application.

This study proposes the design algorithm of an electromagnetic linear actuator with a divided coil excitation system, such as the colenoid (COL) system, using the equivalent magnetic circuit (EMC) method. Nowadays, the clamping device is used to hold workpiece in the electrically driven chucking system and is needed to produce a huge clamping force of 40 kN like hydraulic system. The design algorithm for electromagnetic linear actuator can be obtained using the EMC method. At first, the parameter map is used to decide the slot width ratio in the initial design. Next, to make the magnetic flux density uniform at each pole, the pole width is adjusted by the pole width adjusting algorithm with EMC. When the dimensions of the electromagnetic linear actuator are decided, the clamping force is calculated to check the desired clamping force. The design results show that it can be used to hold a workpiece firmly instead of using a hydraulic cylinder in a chucking system.

Recently, in the linear motion system, high performances are required In dynamic characteristics. Vector control method is capable of instantaneous thrust control can meet these high performance requirements. Linear induction motor(LIM) have static and dynamic end effects due to its finite core length, so that per-phase impedances are asymmetric and an air gap flux distribution is distorted. These points of the d-q axis equivalent circuit model considering both end effects is more complicated. This paper proposes the d-q axis equivalent circuit and the vector control method considering both static and dynamic end effects of the LIM. As a result, it is shown that the results of the equivalent circuit method(ECM) have a good agreement with those of the finite element method(FEM).

Nonlinear response structural optimization is performed using equivalent loads (NROEL). Nonlinear response optimization is extremely cost because many nonlinear analyses are required. In NROEL, the external loads are transformed to the equivalent loads (EL) for linear static analysis and linear response optimization is carried out based on the EL in a cyclic manner until the convergence criteria are satisfied. EL is the load set which generates the same response field of linear analysis as that of nonlinear analysis. The primitive from of theory has been published. In this research, the theory is investigated with large scale example problems. Four examples are solved by using NROEL. Conventional optimization with sensitivity analysis using the finite difference method (FDM) is also applied to the same examples. Moreover, response surface optimization method is applied to the last two examples. The results of the optimizations are compared. In nonlinear response optimization of large scale problems, hundreds (or even thousands) of nonlinear analyses are expected to satisfy the convergence criteria. However, in nonlinear response optimization using equivalent loads, only tens of nonlinear analyses are required. The results are discussed and the usefulness of NROEL is presented.

The joined-wing is a new concept of the airplane wing. The fore-wing and the aft-wing arc joined together in the joined-wing. The range and loiter are longer than those of a conventional wing. The joined-wing can lead to increased aerodynamic performances and reduction of the structural weight. The structural behavior of the joined-wing has a high geometric nonlinearity according to the external loads. The gust loads are the most critical loading conditions in the structural design of the joined-wing. The nonlinear behavior should be considered in the optimization of the joined-wing. It is well known that conventional nonlinear response optimization is extremely expensive: therefore, the conventional method is almost impossible to use in large scale structures such as the joined-wing. In this research, geometric nonlinear response structural optimization is carried out using equivalent loads. Equivalent loads are the load sets which generate the same response field in linear analysis as that from nonlinear analysis. In the equivalent loads method, the external loads are transformed to the equivalent loads (EL) for linear static analysis, and linear response optimization is carried out based on the EL.
