Dynamic equilibrium equations for finite element analysis were derived for the free field one-dimensional shear wave propagation through the horizontally layered soil deposits with the elastic half-space. We expressed Rayleigh's viscous damping consisting of mass and stiffness proportional terms. We considered two cases where damping matrices are defined in the total and relative displacement fields. Two forms of equilibrium equations are presented; one in terms of total motions and the other in terms of relative motions. To evaluate the performance of new equilibrium equations, we conducted two sets of site response analyses and directly compared them with the exact closed-form frequency domain solution. Results show that the base shear force as earthquake load represents the simpler form of equilibrium equation to be used for the finite element method. Conventional finite element procedure using base acceleration as earthquake load predicts exact solution reasonably well even in soil deposits with unrealistically high damping.

본 연구에서는 마제형터널 주변에 공동이 존재하는 경우에 대해 동적해석을 수행함으로써 터널주변의 공동이 터널의 동적거동에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 반무한 평면상에서 터널의 동적응답해석을 수행할 수 있는 해석기법을 개발하였다. 먼저 주파수 영역에서의 다층 반무한 지반내에서의 동적 기본해를 유도하였고 이를 경계요소에 적용하였다. 외부영역을 모형화한 경계요소를 내부영역의 유한요소와 조합하여 반무한 영역에서의 터널구조의 동적응답을 구할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 기법의 검증을 위하여 단층 및 다층 반무한 구조계에 대해 Ricker 파형을 이용한 동적해석을 수행하여 기존의 해석결과와 비교하였고, 개발된 기법을 이용하여 석회암층에 있는 터널에 대해 공동의 유무 및 터널과의 이격거리에 따른 터널의 동적거동을 고찰하였다.

The objectives of this study are to determine the behavior of simply supported skew RC slabs subjected to a point load. The p-version nonlinear skew RC FE model has been used. Integrals of Legendre polynomials are used for shape functions with p-level varying from 1 to 10. In the nonlinear formulation of this model, the material model is based on the Kupfer's yield criterion, hardening rule, and crushing condition and layered model is used through the thickness. The cracking behavior is modeled by a smeared crack model and the fixed crack approach is adopted as the crack model. It is shown that the proposed model is able to adequately predict the deflection and ultimate load of nonlinear skew RC slabs with respect to steel arrangements and steel ratios.

This paper presents the characteristics of PM eddy current loss and harmonic iron loss for PM step-skewed Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) with concentrated windings and multi-layered PM under the running condition of maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and flux-weakening control. In particular, PM eddy current loss and harmonic iron loss in IPMSM have been numerically computed with three-dimensional Finite Element Analysis (3D FEA), whereby IPMSM with concentrated windings and multi-layered PM has been designed to identify the optimized skew angle contributing to the reduced PM eddy current loss and torque ripples, while maintaining the required average torque. Furthermore, numerical investigation on PM eddy current loss and iron loss at MTPA and flux-weakening control has been carried-out in terms of PM step-skew.

An improved method has been developed for the computation of the section forces and stiffness in nonlinear finite element analysis of RC plane frames. The need for a new approach arises because the conventional technique may have a questionable level of efficiency if a large number of layers is specified and a questionable level of accuracy if a smaller number is used. The proposed technique is based on automatically dividing the section into zones of similar state of stress and tangent modulus and then numerically integrating within each zone to evaluate the sectional stiffness parameters and forces. In the new system, the size, number and location of the layers vary with the state of the strains in the cross section. The proposed method shows a significant improvement in time requirement and accuracy in comparison with the conventional layered approach. The computer program based on the new technique has been used successfully to predict the experimental load-deflection response of a RC frame and good agreement with test and other numerical results have been obtained.

This paper presents a non-linear analysis procedure for plane frame structures by finite element formulation with assumptions of Timoshenko beam theory. Finite element displacement method based on Lagrangian formulation is used and two-noded and isoparametric line element is adopted to represent finite element model. The layered approach is used for the elasto-plastic analysis of the plane frame structures with rectangular and I cross sections. A load incremental method combined with the tangent stiffness and the initial stiffness methods for each load increment is used for the solution of non-linear equations. Numerical examples are presented to investigate the behavior and the accuracy of the elasto-plastic non-linear application and the results of this study are compared with other solutions using the concept of plastic hinge.

A new vector algorithm is presented for computing the stiffness matrices of layered reinforced concrete shell elements. Each element stiffness matrix is represented in terms of three vector arrays of lengths 78, 96 and 36, respectively. One element stiffness matrix is calculated at a time without interruption in the vector calculations for the uncracked or cracked elements. It is shown that the present algorithm is 1.1 to 7.3 times more efficient then a previous algorithm developed by us on a Cray Y-MP supercomputer.

The earthquake input is required when the soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis is performed by the direct finite element method. In this paper, the earthquake is considered as the obliquely incident plane body wave arising from the truncated linearly elastic layered half space. An earthquake input method is developed for the time-domain three-dimensional SSI analysis. It consists of a new site response analysis method for free field and the viscous-spring artificial boundary condition for scattered field. The proposed earthquake input method can be implemented in the process of building finite element model of commercial software. It can result in the highly accurate solution by using a relatively small SSI model. The initial condition is considered for the nonlinear SSI analysis. The Daikai subway station is analyzed as an example. The effectiveness of the proposed earthquake input method is verified. The effect of the obliquely incident earthquake is studied.

This study investigates to provide a fast solution to the problem of bearing capacity in layered soils with easily obtainable parameters that does not require the use of any charts or calculations of different parameters. Therefore, a hybrid approach including both the finite element (FE) method and machine learning technique have been applied. Firstly, a FE model has been generated which is validated by the results of in-situ loading tests. Then, a total of 192 three-dimensional FE analyses have been performed. A data set has been created utilizing the soil properties, footing sizes, layered conditions used in the FE analyses and the ultimate bearing capacity values obtained from the FE analyses to be used in multigene genetic programming (MGGP). Problem has been modeled with five input and one output parameter to propose a bearing capacity formula. Ultimate bearing capacity values estimated from the proposed formula using data set consisting of 20 data independent of total data set used in MGGP modelling have been compared to the bearing capacities calculated with semi-empirical methods. It was observed that the MGGP method yielded successful results for the problem considered. The proposed formula provides reasonable predictions and efficient enough to be used in practice.
