This paper investigates the influence of spatial varations of accidental mass eccentricities on the torsional response of inelastic multistorey reinforced concrete buildings. It complements recent studies on the elastic response of structural buildings and extends the investigation into the inelastic range, with the aim of providing guidelines for minimising the torsional response of structural buildings. Four spatial mass eccentricity configurations of common nine story buildings, along with their reversed mass eccentricities subjected to the Erzincan-1992 and Kobe-1995 ground motions were investigated, and the results are discussed in the context of the structural response of the no eccentricity models. It is demonstrated that when the initial linear response is practically translational, it is maintained into the inelastic phase of deformation as long as the strength assignment of the lateral resisting bents is based on a planar static analysis where the applied lateral loads simulate the first mode of vibration of the uncoupled structure.

Irregularities in the structure are crucial factors in screening structural vulnerability under extreme loadings. Numerical analyses were carried out considering wind and seismic loadings for four structures with discrete irregularity: continuous and discontinuous beams with varied story levels, and L-shaped irregular buildings. Structural responses such as maximum displacements, bending moments, axial forces, torsions, and story drifts are evaluated as per the criteria and limits defined by ACI 318. The outcomes indicate that the frame system with beam discontinuity on the upper half of the height exhibits the best structural performance. The results also indicate that the asymmetrical design of the L-shaped model makes it more susceptible to damage when subjected to strong lateral loading conditions.

Static and dynamic structural analyses of a turbine bladed-disk for a liquid rocket turbopump are performed to investigate the safety level of strength and vibration at design point. During operation, turbopump is exposed to various external loads. Therefore, the effects of them should be carefully considered and properly modeled. First, due to the high rotational speed of the turbopump, effects of centrifugal forces are considered in the structural analysis. Thermal load caused by severe temperature differences is also considered. A three dimensional finite element method (FEM) is used for linear and nonlinear structural analyses with modified Newton-Raphson iteration method. After the nonlinear solution is obtained from the structural analysis, dynamic characteristics are obtained as a function of rotational speed from the linearized eigenvalue analysis at an equilibrium position. From the analysis results, characteristics of stress distribution and vibration were thoroughly examined and investigated.

본 논문은 등가정하중을 이용하여 튜브 하이드로포밍 공정을 위한 최적설계를 제안한다. 튜브 하이드로포밍 공정의 최적설계는 유체의 압력과 축 방향 압입량에 대한 적절한 하중경로를 결정하고, 이를 통하여 성형해석 후 결함이 없는 원하는 형상의 제품을 얻는 것을 목적으로 한다. 그러나 기존의 등가정하중법은 하중을 설계변수로 고려하지 못한다. 또한 튜브 하이드로포밍 공정의 최적설계에서 고려하는 비선형 두께 응답을 고려하기 위한 최적화가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 튜브 하이드로포밍 공정의 최적설계에 적합한 새로운 등가정하중을 제시한다. 또한 새로운 등가정하중을 이용한 최적설계 프로세스를 제시한다. 제시한 최적설계방법의 사용 가능성은 예제를 통하여 확인한다.

This paper presents the findings of experimental and numerical investigations on failure analysis and structural behavior of notched steel I-beams reinforced by bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates under static load. To find solutions for preventing or delaying the failures, understanding the CFRP failure modes is beneficial. One non-strengthened control beam and four specimens with different deficiencies (one side and two sides) on flexural flanges in both experimental test and simulation were studied. Two additional notched beams were investigated just numerically. In the experimental test, four-point bending method with static gradual loading was employed. To simulate the specimens, ABAQUS software in full three dimensional (3D) case and non-linear analysis method was applied. The results show that the CFRP failure modes in strengthening of deficient steel I-beams include end-debonding, below point load debonding, splitting and delamination. Strengthening schedule is important to the occurrences and sequences of CFRP failure modes. Additionally, application of CFRP plates in the deficiency region prevents crack propagation and brittle failure.

A simplified model which incorporates the moment-axial tension interaction of the double-span beams in a column-removed steel frame is presented in this paper. To this end, material and geometric nonlinear parametric finite element analyses were conducted for the double-span beams by changing the beam span to depth ratio and the beam size within some practical ranges. The beam span to depth ratio was shown to be the most influential factor governing the catenary action of the double-span beams. Based on the parametric analysis results, a simplified piecewise linear model which can reasonably describe the vertical, resisting force versus the beam chord rotation relationship was proposed. It was also shown that the proposed method can readily be used for the energy-based progressive collapse analysis of steel moment frames.

A meshless technique using the geometric conservation least-squares method (GC-LSM) was devised to discretize the governing equation of linear elasticity. Although the finite-element method is widely used for structural analysis, a meshless method was developed because of its advantages in a moving grid system. This work is the preliminary phase for developing a fully meshless-based fluid-structure interaction solver. In this study, Cauchy's momentum equation was discretized in strong form using GC-LSM for the structural domain, and the Newmark beta method was used for time integration. The solver was validated in 1D, 2D, and 3D benchmarking problems. Static and dynamic results were obtained. The results are more accurate than those of analytic solutions.

본 논문에서는 해양구조물의 배관에 작용하는 환경조건과 구조물의 움직임에 따른 구조안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 배관에 작용하는 조건은 N₂ generator의 설계 조건을 분석하여 최고온도와 최저온도 조건을 적용하였다. 구조물의 움직임은 DNV 규칙에 따라 계산하여 적용하였다. 각각의 조건을 조합하고 열 하중, 운동 하중 그리고 배관지지대의 유무에 따라 총 26가지 하중 조합을 구성하였고 상용프로그램인 MSC Patran/Nastran을 이용하여 해석을 진행하였다. 열해석은 Steady-state 방법인 Sol 153, 열-구조 연성 해석은 Linear-static 방법인 Sol 101을 각각 적용하여 수행하였다. 해석 결과, Set 1과 Set 2에서는 배관 내의 온도가 낮을수록, Set 3에서는 온도가 높을수록, Set 4에서는 배관 내외부의 온도 차가 클수록 응력이 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 하지만, 온도 하중만 있는 조건과 운동 하중만 있는 조건에서의 응력의 합이 두 하중의 복합 하중 조건에서의 응력과 같은 값을 나타내지는 않았다. 즉, 운동 하중에 의한 영향은 운동의 방향, 배관의 배치나 지지대의 위치 등에 따라 달라진다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 설계 시점에서 배관에 작용하는 운동 하중의 크기와 방향, 배관의 배치 그리고 배관 지지대의 위치 등을 종합적으로 고려할 필요가 있다.

Structural analysis of a brake shoe for commercial vehicle was performed using finite element method. Since the strength of a brake shoe is affected by the magnitude and distribution shape of the contact pressure with the drum, the contact pressure between the shoe friction material and drum was calculated using a 2-Dimensional non-linear contact analysis in a state. And the brake was actuated by input air pressure and the drum of it was calculated both stationary and dynamic based on forced torque applied to the drum during the static state analysis. The results of the above analysis were then used as the load boundary conditions for a 3-Dimensional shoe model analysis to determine the maximum strain on the shoes. In the analysis model, the values of tensile test were used for the material properties of the brake shoes and drum, while the values of compression test were used for the friction material. We assumed it as linear variation, even though the properties of friction material were actually non-linear. The experiments were carried out under the same analysis conditions used for fatigue test and under the same brake system which equipped with a brake drum based on the actual axle state in a vehicle. The strains were measured at the same locations where the analysis was performed on the shoes. The obtained results of the experiment matched well with those from the analysis. Consequently, the model used in this study was able to determine the stress at the maximum air pressure at the braking system, thereby a modified shoe model in facilitating was satisfied with the required endurance strength in the vehicle.
