The wind-induced dynamic response of large-span flexible structures includes two important components-background response and resonant response. However, it is difficult to separate the two components in time-domain. To solve the problem, a relational expression of wavelet packet coefficients and power spectrum is derived based on the principles of digital signal processing and the theories of wavelet packet analysis. Further, a new approach is proposed for separation of the background response from the resonant response. Then a numerical example of frequency detection is provided to test the accuracy and the spectral resolution of the proposed approach. In the engineering example, the approach is applied to compute the power spectra of the wind-induced response of a large-span roof structure, and the accuracy of spectral estimation for stochastic signals is verified. The numerical results indicate that the proposed approach is efficient and accurate with high spectral resolution, so it is applicable for power spectral computation of various response signals of structures induced by the wind. Moreover, the background and the resonant response time histories are separated successfully using the proposed approach, which is sufficiently proved by detailed verifications. Therefore, the proposed approach is a powerful tool for the verification of the existing frequency-domain formulations.

Numerical simulations of the Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) about a large-scale flexible pipe subject to shear flow were carried out in this paper. Efficiency verification was performed firstly, validating that the proposed fluid-structure interaction solution strategy is competent in predicting the VIV response. Then, the VIV characteristics related to multi-mode and spanwise hybrid waveform about the flexible pipe attributed to shear flow were investigated. When inflow velocity rises, higher vibration modes are apt to be excited, and the spanwise waveform easily convertes from a standing-wave-dominated status to a hybrid standing-traveling wave status. The multi-mode or even multiple-dominant-mode is prone to occur, that is, the dominant mode is often followed by several apparent subordinate modes with considerable vibration energy. Hence, the shedding frequencies no longer obey Strouhal law, and vibration trajectories become intricate. According to the motion analysis concerning the coupled cross-flow and in-line vibrations, as well as the corresponding wake patterns, a tight coupling interaction exists between the structural deformation and the wake flow behind the flexible pipe. In addition, the evolution of the vortex tube along the pipe span and a strong 3D effect are observed due to the slenderness of the flexible pipe and the variability of the vortex shedding attributed to the shear flow.

Cable network system is a flexible lightweight structure which curved cables can transmit only tensile forces. The weight of cable roof dramatically can reduce when the length becomes large. The cable network system is too flexible, most cable systems are stabilized by pretension forces. The tensile force of cable system is greatly influenced by the sag ratio and pretension forces. Determining initial sag ratio of cable roof system is essential in a design process of cable structures. Final sag ratio and pretension depends on initial installed sag and on proper handling during installation. The design shape of cable system has an affect on the sag and pretension, and must be determined using well-defined design philosophy. This paper is carried out the comparative data of the deflection and tensile forces on the geometric non-linear analysis of cable network systems according to sag ratio. The study of cable network system is provided to technical informations for the design of a large span cable roof, analytical results are compared with the results of other researchers. Structural nonlinear analysis of systems having cable elements is relatively complex than other rigid structural systems because displacements are large as a reason of flexibility, initial prestress is applied to cables in order to increase the rigidity, and then divergence of nonlinear analysis occurs rather frequently. Therefore, cable network systems do not exhibit a typical nonlinear behavior, iterative method that can handle geometric nonlinearities are necessary.

파장 분할 다중 신호와 같은 대용량 광 신호를 장거리 전송하기 위하여 사용되는 MSSI (mid-span spectral inversion)와 분산 제어가 결합된 시스템에서의 융통적인 링크 구성을 제안하고 색 분산과 비선형 왜곡 보상 효과를 높일 수 있는 구체적 방법을 살펴보았다. 분산 제어 링크 구성의 융통성을 높이기 위해 제안된 분산 맵은 'random-inverse' 구조를 갖는다. 즉 광 위상 공액기까지의 전반 구획의 각 광성유 스팬의 RDPS는 랜덤하게 분포되고 후반 구획의 RDPS 분포는 전반 구획의 분포 패턴을 반전하는 구성의 분산 맵이다. 제안된 분산 맵은 RDPS의 랜덤 분포를 가지기는 하지만 결과적으로 광 위상 공액기를 중심으로 분산 프로파일이 대칭이 되는 점에 기인하여 왜곡 보상 효과가 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 'random-inverse' 구조의 분산 맵에서 각 광섬유 스팬에 할당되는 RDPS의 크기가 큰 경우에서왜곡된 파장 분할 다중 신호의 보상 효과가 더욱커지는 것도 동시에 확인하였다.

In recent years, advances in construction techniques and materials have given rese to flexible light-weight structures like high-rise buildings and long-span bridges. Because these structures extremely susceptible to environmental loads, such as earthquakes and strong winds, these random loadings usually produce large deflection and acceleration on these structures. Vibration control system of structures are becoming an integral part of the structural system of the next generation of tall building. The proposed control system is applied to single degree of structure with mass damping and compared with conventional PID and neural network PID control system.

Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS) are one among the solution to pursue an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology in birthing land from the sea. VLFS are extra-large in size and mostly extra-long in span. VLFS may be classified into two broad categories, namely the pontoon type and semi-submersible type. The pontoon-type VLFS is a flat box structure floating on the sea surface and suitable in regions with lower sea state. The semi-submersible VLFS has a deck raised above the sea level and supported by columns which are connected to submerged pontoons and are subjected to less wave forces. These structures are very flexible compared to other kinds of offshore structures, and its elastic deformations are more important than their rigid body motions. This paper presents hydroelastic analysis carried out on an innovative VLFS called truss pontoon Mobile Offshore Base (MOB) platform concept proposed by Srinivasan and Sundaravadivelu (2013). The truss pontoon MOB is modelled and hydroelastic analysis is carried out using HYDRAN-XR^* for regular 0° waves heading angle. Results are presented for variation of added mass and damping coefficients, diffraction and wave excitation forces, RAOs for translational, rotation and deformational modes and vertical displacement at salient sections with respect to wave periods.

최근에 넓은 공간이 요구되는 건축물에서는 칸막이 벽과 같은 비구조재의 사용이 감소됨으로써 감쇠효과가 크게 줄어들고 있으며 고강도재료의 사용으로 바닥판 구조물이 유연화, 장경간화 되어가고 있다. 대형집회공간, 쇼핑몰, 사무실 등과 같이 장경간 건축물에서는 사람의 움직임에 의하여 과도한 진동이 발생할 수 있으며 이러한 진동은 건축물의 사용성을 크게 저하시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 바닥판 진동의 주요 진동원 중의 하나가 보행하중이다. 보행하중을 받는 구조물의 진동해석에 있어서 보행하중을 적용하는 일반적인 방법은 한 절점에 보행하중을 연속적으로 가하거나 주기하중으로 이상화된 동적하중을 가하는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 보행의 이동효과를 고려할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 실제 바닥판 구조물의 고유진동수와 감쇠비를 평가하였으며 예제 구조물의 효율적인 진동해석을 위하여 보행하중을 적용하였다.

Seismic random responses due to the wave passage effect are extensively investigated by using the pseudo excitation method (PEM). Two examples are used. The first is very simple but also very informative, while the second is a realistic suspension bridge. Numerical results show that the seismic responses vary significantly with wave speed, especially for low velocity or large span. Such variations are not monotonic, especially for flexible structures. The contributions of the dynamic and quasi-static components depend heavily on the seismic wave velocity and the natural frequencies of structures. For the lower natural frequency cases, the dynamic component has significant effects on the dynamic responses of the structure, whereas the quasi-static component dominates for higher natural frequencies unless the wave speed is also high. It is concluded that if insufficient data on local seismic wave velocity is available, it is advisable to select several possible velocity values in the seismic analysis and to choose the most conservative of the results thus obtained as the basis for design.
