In this study, an aging deformation statistical model for a unique high and steep rock slope was proposed, and the aging characteristic of the slope deformation was better reflected. The slope displacement was affected by multiple-environmental factors in multiple scales and displayed the same tendency with a rising water level. The statistical model of the high and steep rock including non-aging factors was set up based on previous analyses and the study of the deformation and residual tendency. The rule and importance of the water level factor as a non-aging unit was analyzed. A partitioned statistical model and mutation model were established for the comprehensive cumulative displacement velocity with the monitoring study under multiple factors and multiple parameters. A spatial model was also developed to reflect and predict the whole and sectional deformation character by combining aging, deformation and space coordinates. A neural network model was built to fit and predict the deformation with a high degree of precision by mastering its feature of complexity and randomness. A three-dimensional finite element model of the slope was applied to approach the structure character using numerical simulations. Further, a three-dimensional finite element model of the slope and dam was developed, and the whole deformation state was analyzed. This study is expected to provide a powerful and systematic method to analyze very high, important and dangerous slopes.

The prediction of the low cycle fatigue (LCF) life of beam-column connections requires an LCF model that is developed using specific geometric information. The beam-column connection has several geometric variables, and changes in these variables must be taken into account to ensure sufficient robustness of the design. Previous research has verified that the finite element model (FEM) can be used to simulate LCF behavior at the end plate moment connection (EPMC). Three critical parameters, i.e., end plate thickness, beam flange thickness, and bolt distance, have been selected for this study to determine the geometric effects on LCF behavior. Seven FEMs for different geometries have been developed using these three critical parameters. The finite element analysis results have led to the development of a modified LCF model for the critical parameter groups.

본 논문에서는 Nakagami-m 페이딩 채널을 Finite-State Markov Channel (FSMC)로 모델링하고, 채널 상태 변화에 따른 통신 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 고려한 FSMC 모델에서는 수신 신호의 신호 대 잡음 전력비를 유한개의 구간으로 나눠 각각의 구간을 Markov 체인의 상태로 대응한다. 각 상태는 무기억 이진 대칭 통신로로 가정하고, 한 상태에서 다른 상태로의 천이는 Markov 천이를 따른다고 가정한다. 수치 해석을 통해 각 상태에 있어서의 평균 심볼 오율, 정상 상태 확률 그리고 상태 천이 확률을 구하여 FSMC 모델을 구성하였고, 상태 천이 지수를 변경함으로써 여러 페이딩 환경을 FSMC 모델로 나타낼 수 있음을 확인하였다. 상태 천이 지수가 클 경우인 빠른 페이딩 채널에서는 채널이 i.i.d. 특성을 나타내게 되며, 상태 천이 지수가 작을 경우인 느린 페이딩 채널은 인접한 상태로의 천이만 발생하는 간단한 FSMC 모델로 표현될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 제안한 FSMC 모델의 응용 예로써, 여러 채널 환경에서 랜덤 에러 정정 부호의 부호화 이득의 차이를 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교, 분석하였다.

Ensuring the integrity of a country's infrastructure is necessary to protect surrounding communities in case of disaster. Embankment dam systems across the US are an essential component of infrastructure, referred to as lifeline structures. Embankment dams are crucial to the survival of life and if these structures were to fail, it is imperative that states be prepared. Southern California is particularly concerned with the stability of embankment dams due to the frequent seismic activity that occurs in the state. The purpose of this study was to create a numerical model of an existing embankment dam simulated under seismic loads using previously recorded data. The embankment dam that was studied in Los Angeles, California was outfitted with accelerometers provided by the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program that have recorded strong motion data for decades and was processed by the Center for Engineering Strong Motion Data to be used in future engineering applications. The accelerometer data was then used to verify the numerical model that was created using finite element modeling software RS2. The results from this study showed Puddingstone Dam's simulated response was consistent with that experienced during previous earthquakes and therefore validated the predicted behavior from the numerical model. The study also identified areas of weakness and instability on the dam that posed the greatest risk for its failure. Following this study, the numerical model can now be used to predict the dam's response to future earthquakes, develop plans for its remediation, and for emergency response in case of disaster.

As the exploitation of oil and gas resources advances into deeper waters and harsher environments, the design and analysis of the flexible risers has become the research focus in the offshore engineering filed. Due to the complexity of the components and the sliding between the adjacent layers, the bending response of the flexible risers is highly non-linear. This paper presents the finite element analysis of the flexible risers under bending loads. The detailed finite element model of the flexible riser is established in ABAQUS software. This finite element model incorporates all the fine details of the riser to accurately predict its nonlinear structural behavior. Based on the finite element model, the bending moment-curvature relationships of a flexible riser under various axisymmetric loads have been investigated. The results have been compared with the analytical ones obtained from the literature and good agreements have been found. Moreover, the stress of the tendon armors has been studied. The non-linear relationship between the armor tendons' stress and the bending loads has been obtained.

This paper proposes a new finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method for induction motors. In the method, the reference state that satisfies the given torque and rotor flux requirements is derived. Cost indices for the FCS-MPC are defined using the state tracking error, and a linear matrix inequality is formulated to obtain a proper weighting matrix for the state tracking error. The on-line procedure of the proposed FCS-MPC comprises of two steps: select the output voltage vector of the two level inverter minimizing the cost index and compute the optimal modulation factor of the minimizing output voltage vector in order to reduce the state tracking error and torque ripple. The steady state tracking error is removed by using an integrator to adjust the reference state. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed FCS-MPC shows good torque, rotor flux control performances at different rotating speeds.

본 연구에서 흙(사질토)-구조물의 경계면에 대한 거동특성을 분석하기 위하여 교란상태개념(DSC)을 수정 및 보완하였다. 제안한 DSC모델에서는 변형중인 재료는 상대적으로 손상되지 않은 상태(RI)와 완전 파괴된 상태(FA)가 혼합되어있다는 가정에 기초를 두고 있다. RI 상태는 HiSS모델을 이용하였고, FA 상태는 한계상태모델을 이용하였다. 이런 DSC 모델을 Biot이론에 기초한 기존 유한요소 프로그램에 접목하였다. 본 연구에서 수저한 유한요소 프로그램을 이용하여 실제 경계면 실험(두 가지 하중조건: 정하중, 동하중)에 대하여 모의실험을 수행하였다. 또한 그 결과와 실내시험결과를 비교 검토하였다. DSC모델을 이용한 유한요소해석은 실제 실내시험 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통하여, DSC모델을 흙-구조물 경계면 해석에 비교적 합리적인 결과를 제공한다고 판단된다.

Stress wave propagation through concrete is simulated by finite element analysis. The concrete medium is modeled as a homogeneous material with smeared properties to investigate and establish the suitable finite element analysis method (explicit versus implicit) and analysis parameters (element size, and solution time increment) also suitable for rigorous investigation. In the next step, finite element analysis model of the medium is developed using a digital image processing technique, which distinguishes the mortar and aggregate phases of concrete. The mortar and aggregate phase topologies are, then, directly mapped to the finite element mesh to form a heterogeneous concrete model. The heterogeneous concrete model is then used to simulate wave propagation. The veracity of the model is demonstrated by evaluating the intrinsic parameters of nondestructive ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete. Quantitative relationships between aggregate size and testing frequency for nondestructive testing are presented.
