This paper presents a quasi-static optimization technique for elastic structures under dynamic loads. An equivalent static load (ESL) set is defined as a static load set which generates the same displacement field as that from a dynamic load at a certain time. Multiple ESL sets calculated at every time step are employed to represent the various states of the structure under the dynamic load. They can cover every critical state that might happen at an arbitrary time. Continuous characteristics of dynamic load are simulated by multiple discontinuous ones of static loads. The calculated sets of ESLs are applied as a multiple loading condition in the optimization process. A design cycle is defined as a circulated process between an analysis domain and a design domain. Design cycles are repeated until a design converges. The analysis domain gives a loading condition necessary for the design domain. The design domain gives a new updated design to be verified by the analysis domain in the next design cycle. This iterative process is quite similar to that of the multidisciplinary optimization technique. Even though the global convergence cannot be guaranteed, the proposed technique makes it possible to optimize the structures under dynamic loads. It has also applicability, flexibility, and reliability.

트랙롤러는 건설기계의 무한궤도 메카니즘에 장착되어 차량에 가해지는 하중을 지지하는 역할을 하는 핵심부품이다. 건설기계의 작업환경은 매우 가혹하며, 이러한 환경에 노출된 트랙롤러는 반복되는 주행충격으로 누유 및 파손 등의 고장을 발생하게 된다. 트랙롤러의 고장이 발생하면 건설기계 차량의 주행에 큰 영향을 미치게 되므로, 트랙롤러 생산업체에서는 자체시험을 수행하여 제품의 성능을 확인하고 있다. 하지만 현재 트랙롤러 대부분의 시험은 수직하중을 가한 상태의 시험만을 수행하고 있다. 이는 트랙롤러가 장착된 건설기계의 선회주행시 발생되고 있는 수평방향에서 가해지는 하중을 고려하지 않은 시험평가로 실제 주행조건을 재현하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 트랙롤러에 가해지는 수직 및 수평방향 하중 크기와 이를 고려한 시험조건을 정립하였다. 또한 수평방향 하중이 트랙롤러의 고장에 미치는 영향에 대한 해석과 시험의 결과를 제시하였다.

Cylindrical shell structures buckle at service loads which are much lower than their associated theoretical buckling loads. The main source of this discrepancy is the presence of various imperfections which are created on the cylinder body during different processes as manufacturing, handling, assembling and machining. Many cylindrical shell structures are still designed against buckling based on the experimental data introduced by NASA SP-8007 as conservative lower bound curves. This study employed the numerical based Linear Buckling mode shape Imperfection (LBMI) method and modified it using a stochastic method to assess the effect of geometrical imperfections in more details on the buckling of cylindrical shells with and without the cutout. The comparison of results with those obtained from the numerical Simcple Perturbation Load Imperfection (SPLI) method for cylinders with and without cutout revealed a good correlation. The effect of two parameters of size and number of cutouts on the buckling load was investigated using the linear buckling and Modified LBMI methods. Results confirmed that in cylinders with a small cutout inserting geometrical imperfection using either SPLI or modified LBMI methods significantly reduced the value of the predicted buckling load. However, in cylinders with larger cutouts, the effect of the cutout is dominant, thus considering geometrical imperfection had a minor effect on the buckling loads predicted by both SPLI and modified LBMI methods. Furthermore, the modified LBMI method was employed to evaluate the combination effect of cutout numbers and size on the buckling load. It is shown that in small cutouts, an increasing in the cutout size up to a certain value resulted in a remarkable reduction of the buckling load, and beyond that limit, the buckling loads were constant against D/R ratios. In addition, the cutout number shows a more significant effect on decreasing the buckling load at small D/R ratios than large D/R ratios.

One of the principal components of the KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) tokamak structure is the vacuum vessel, which acts as the high vacuum boundary for the plasma and also provides the structural support for internal components. Hyundai Heavy Industries Inc. has performed the engineering design of the vacuum vessel. Here the overall configuration of the KSTAR vacuum vessel was briefly described and then the design methodology and the analysis results were presented. The vacuum vessel consists of double walls, several ports, leaf spring style supports. Double walls are separated by reinforcing ribs and filled with baking/shielding water. The overall external dimensions of the main body are 3.39 m high, 1.11 m inner radius, 2.99 m outer radius, and made of SA240-316LN. The vacuum vessel was designed to be capable of achieving the base pressure of $1\times10^{-8}$ Torr, and also to be structurally capable of sustaining the vacuum pressure, the electromagnetic and thermal loads during plasma disruption and bakeout, respectively. The vacuum vessel will be baked out maximum $150^{\circ}C$ by hot pressurized water through the channels formed between double walls and the reinforcing ribs. A 3-D temperature distribution and the resulting thermal loads in the vessel were calculated during bakeout. It was found that the vacuum vessel and its supports were structurally rigid based on the thermal stress analysis. The maximum electromagnetic loads on the vacuum vessel induced by eddy and halo currents resulting from the engineering plasma radial and vertical disruption scenarios have been estimated. The stress analyses have been performed based on these electromagnetic loads and the resulting stresses at he critical locations of the vacuum vessel were within the allowable stresses.

This manuscript presents impacts of gradation of material functions and axial load functions on critical buckling loads and mode shapes of functionally graded (FG) thin and thick beams by using higher order shear deformation theory, for the first time. Volume fractions of metal and ceramic materials are assumed to be distributed through a beam thickness by both sigmoid law and symmetric power functions. Ceramic-metal-ceramic (CMC) and metal-ceramic-metal (MCM) symmetric distributions are proposed relative to mid-plane of the beam structure. The axial compressive load is depicted by constant, linear, and parabolic continuous functions through the axial direction. The equilibrium governing equations are derived by using Hamilton's principles. Numerical differential quadrature method (DQM) is developed to discretize the spatial domain and covert the governing variable coefficients differential equations and boundary conditions to system of algebraic equations. Algebraic equations are formed as a generalized matrix eigenvalue problem, that will be solved to get eigenvalues (buckling loads) and eigenvectors (mode shapes). The proposed model is verified with respectable published work. Numerical results depict influences of gradation function, gradation parameter, axial load function, slenderness ratio and boundary conditions on critical buckling loads and mode-shapes of FG beam structure. It is found that gradation types have different effects on the critical buckling. The proposed model can be effective in analysis and design of structure beam element subject to distributed axial compressive load, such as, spacecraft, nuclear structure, and naval structure.

Background: To determine the influence of lifting speed and type on peak and cumulative back compressive force (BCF) and shoulder moment (SM) loads during symmetric lifting. Another aim of the study was to compare static and dynamic lifting models. Methods: Ten male participants performed a floor-to-shoulder, floor-to-waist, and waist-to-shoulder lift at three different speeds [slow (0.34 m/s), medium (0.44 m/s), and fast (0.64 m/s)], and with two different loads [light (2.25 kg) and heavy (9 kg)]. Two-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were determined. A three-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to calculate peak and cumulative loading of BCF and SM for light and heavy loads. Results: Peak BCF was significantly different between slow and fast lifting speeds (p < 0.001), with a mean difference of 20% between fast and slow lifts. The cumulative loading of BCF and SM was significantly different between fast and slow lifting speeds (p < 0.001), with mean differences ${\geq}80%$. Conclusion: Based on peak values, BCF is highest for fast speeds, but the BCF cumulative loading is highest for slow speeds, with the largest difference between fast and slow lifts. This may imply that a slow lifting speed is at least as hazardous as a fast lifting speed. It is important to consider the duration of lift when determining risks for back and shoulder injuries due to lifting and that peak values alone are likely not sufficient.

In this work, a novel reliability approach for combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) estimation is developed by combining active learning strategy with least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) (named as ALS-SVM) surrogate model to address the multi-resources uncertainties, including working loads, material properties and model itself. Initially, a new active learner function combining LS-SVM approach with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is presented to improve computational efficiency with fewer calls to the performance function. To consider the uncertainty of surrogate model at candidate sample points, the learning function employs k-fold cross validation method and introduces the predicted variance to sequentially select sampling. Following that, low cycle fatigue (LCF) loads and high cycle fatigue (HCF) loads are firstly estimated based on the training samples extracted from finite element (FE) simulations, and their simulated responses together with the sample points of model parameters in Coffin-Manson formula are selected as the MC samples to establish ALS-SVM model. In this analysis, the MC samples are substituted to predict the CCF reliability of turbine blades by using the built ALS-SVM model. Through the comparison of the two approaches, it is indicated that the reliability model by linear cumulative damage rule provides a non-conservative result compared with that by the proposed one. In addition, the results demonstrate that ALS-SVM is an effective analysis method holding high computational efficiency with small training samples to gain accurate fatigue reliability.

인장과 압축하중 모두를 효과적으로 지지할 수 있는 새로운 샌드위치 체결부 구조의 설계를 위해, 체결부 형상이 다른 3가지 샌드위치 판넬에 대한 인장 및 압축 시험을 수행하였다. 샌드위치 판넬의 코어는 주로 알루미늄 플렉스 허니콤이지만, 타 구조물과의 체결을 위해 두께가 얇아지면서 단순 적층판으로 변하는 램프 영역에서는 PMI 폼 코어를 사용하였고, 면재에는 탄소섬유 복합재를 사용하였다. 형상 1에서는 복합재 플랜지와 샌드위치 구조가 일체형으로 연결된다. 형상 2와 3에서는 별도로 제작된 알루미늄 플랜지가 복합재 적층판에 하이록핀과 접착제로 체결된다. 시험 결과 형상 1, 2, 3의 평균 압축파손하중은 각각 295 kN, 226 kN, 291 kN으로 나타났고, 평균 인장파손하중은 각각 47.3(층간분리), 83.7 kN(볼트파손), 291 kN(치구손상)으로 나타났다. 압축 파손하중만을 고려할 경우 플랜지와 샌드위치 판넬을 복합재 일체형으로 제작한 형상 1과 3이 우수한 특성을 보였다. 그러나 형상 1의 경우 인장하중을 받을 때 낮은 하중에서 플랜지 모서리 부분에서 층간분리가 발생하였다. 따라서 인장과 압축하중을 동시에 효과적으로 지지할 수 있는 구조는 모서리에서 층간분리의 위험이 없게 별도의 알루미늄 플랜지를 사용하여 볼트로 체결한 형상 3임을 확인하였다.

스카프 접착 조인트를 마이크로 볼트로 보강하였을 때, 볼트의 보강효과를 얻을 수 있는지를 시험으로 연구하였다. 스카프 형상에 따른 조인트 보강효과를 확인하기 위해 3가지 스카프비(1/10, 1/20, 1/30)를 고려하였다. 접착면적에 따른 핀의 밀도를 동일하게 유지하기 위해, 1/10, 1/20, 1/30 스카프비를 가지는 조인트에 각각 16, 32, 48개의 볼트를 보강하였다. 기준값을 획득하기 위해 접착제로만 체결된 조인트와 마이크로 볼트만 사용한 조인트에 대한 시험도 수행하였다. 시험 결과 접착제만 적용한 경우, 각 스카프비(1/10, 1/20, 1/30)에 따른 파손하중은 29.7, 39.6, 44.8 kN로 나타났다. 마이크로 볼트로 보강한 경우 파손하중은 스카프비에 따라 각각 28.4, 37.2, 40.1 kN으로 나타났는데, 순수 접착 조인트 파손하중의 96, 94, 90%에 해당한다. 마이크로 볼트만 사용한 경우, 파손하중은 접착 조인트 인장강도의 13-25%에 불과하였다. 스카프비 1/10 조인트의 피로시험 결과 접착제와 볼트를 동시에 사용한 하이브리드 조인트의 피로강도가 접착제만 사용한 경우의 피로강도보다 증가하였지만, 증가율은 2-3%로 미미하였다. 본 연구를 통해 박리응력이 파손의 주원인이 되는 구조물에서와 달리, 전단응력이 파손의 주원인이 되는 스카프 조인트의 경우 마이크로 볼트의 보강효과는 나타나지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the stress analysis of the cast iron insert of spent nuclear fuel disposal canister in a deep repository at 500m underground is done for the underground pressure variation. Since the nuclear fuel disposal usually emits much heat and radiation, its careful treatment is required. And so a long term safe repository at a deep bedrock is used. Under this situation, the canister experiences some mechanical external loads such as hydrostatic pressue of underground water, swelling pressure of bentonite, sudden rock movement etc.. Hence, the canister should be designed to withstand these loads. The cast iron insert of the canister mainly supports these loads. Therefore, the stress analysis of the cast iron insert is done to determine the design variables such as the diameter versus length of canister and the number and array type of inner baskets in this paper, The linear static structural analysis is done using the finite element analysis method. And the finite element analysis code, NISA, is used for the computation.
