In this paper, a new iterative method for solving vehicle-bridge interaction problems is proposed. Iterative methods have advantages over the non-iterative methods in that it is not necessary to update the system matrix for a given wheel location, and the method can be applied for a new type of car or bridge with few or no modifications. In the proposed method, the necessity of system matrices update is eliminated using the equivalent interaction force acting on the bridge, which is obtained iteratively. Ballast stiffness is included in the interaction forces and the geometric compatibility at the contact points are used as convergence criteria. The bridge is considered as an elastic Bernoulli-Euler beam with surface irregularity and ballast stiffness. The moving vehicle is modeled as a multi-axle mass-spring-damper system having many degrees of freedom depending on the number of axles. The pitching effect, which is the interaction effect between the rear and front wheels when a vehicle begins to enter or leave the bridge, is also considered in the formulation including extended ground boundaries having surface irregularity and ballast stiffness. The applicability of the proposed method is illustrated in the numerical studies.

Offshore Bridge Crane and Hoist which are used FPSO Ships that can move through self - power and have oil production, store and loading and unloading facilities are increasing demand. These equipments must use Crane safely by pitch and rolling of the high wave. For this, they have to be equipped with high durability and safety. So the advanced shipbuilding industries use a private design system which can be prompt in design and analyze in the first stage. For this study, It was developed a basic design system for "Bridge Crane and Hoist" used on FPSO ships. By developing this automated system for "Bridge Crane and Hoist" design, we will be able to make the design data easy to understand. This basic design system will help reduce the amount of working time it takes to design new systems, construct design databases and get approval for the finished design.

Pile foundations of existing bridges lie in soil and water environment for long term and endure relatively heavy vertical loads, thus prone to damages, especially after stricken by external forces, such as earthquake, collision, soil heap load and etc., and the piles may be injured to certain degrees as well. There is a relatively complete technical system for quality inspection of new bridge pile foundations without structures on the top. However, there is no mature technical standard in the engineering community for the non-destructive testing technology specific to the existing bridge pile foundations. The quality of bridge pile foundations has always been a major problem that plagues bridge maintenance. On the basis of many years' experiences in test engineering and theoretical studies, this study developed a new type of detection technology and equipment for the existing bridge piles.

This paper proposed a conceptual design of bascule bridge, which is a new kind of movable bridge with an aim of reducing the weight of superstructure. Compared with the traditional bascule bridge, the light bascule bridge chooses cable-stayed bridge with inclined pylon as its superstructure; therefore, the functions of balance-weight and structure will fuse into one. Otherwise, it adopts moving counterweight to adjust its center of gravity (CG) to open or close the bridge. In order to lighten the superstructure, it uses contact springs to auxiliary retract, and intelligent prestressing system (IPS) to control the main girder's deformation. Simultaneously the vibration control scheme of structure is discussed. Starting from establishing the mechanical model of bridge, this article tries to analyze the conditions that the design parameters of structure and attachments should satisfy to. After the design procedure was presented, an example was also adopted to explain the primary design process of this kind bridge.

In the present study, a new assessment simulation of ride safety based on a new wind-traffic-pavement-bridge coupled vibration system is developed considering stochastic characteristics of traffic flow and bridge surface. Compared to existing simulation models, the new assessment simulation focuses on introducing the more realistic three-dimensional vehicle model, stochastic characteristics of traffic, vehicle accident criteria, and bridge surface conditions. A three-dimensional vehicle model with 24 degrees-of-freedoms (DOFs) is presented. A cellular automaton (CA) model and the surface roughness are introduced. The bridge deck pavement is modeled as a boundless Euler-Bernoulli beam supported on the Kelvin model. The wind-traffic-pavement-bridge coupled equations are established by combining the equations of both the vehicles in traffic, pavement, and bridge using the displacement and interaction force relationship at the patch contact. The numerical simulation shows that the proposed method can simulate rationally useful assessment and prevention information for traffic, and define appropriate safe driving speed limits for vulnerable vehicles under normal traffic and bridge surface conditions.

In this paper, a new PCS is proposed which is consisted of high boost dual converter and single phase half-bridge inverter. The proposed PCS is configured in parallel input / serial output, using two interleaved voltage doubler converter. Converter of the proposed PCS is distribute input current by configuring parallel input and reduced turn ratio of transformer by configuring serial output. Also, compositions of the inverter are composed of serial output capacitor of converter and half-bridge inverter. The dual converter and single phase half-bridge inverter is designed and characteristic of the new PCS is analysed. The system of the 1.5[kW] PCS is verified through an experimental about operation and stability.

기존 임시교량은 대부분 거더의 횡-비틀림좌굴을 방지하고 시공의 효율성을 확보하기 위해 가로보를 설치하고 있다. 이 가로보는 볼트로 연결되며, 중력방향 하중에 대한 저항성능이 매우 작은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 최근 일체화된 가로보를 사용함으로써 가로보를 하중저항요소로 이용한 임시교량이 최근 개발된 바 있다. 이 연구는 새롭게 개발된 임시교량에 대한 구조적 거동 및 하중전달능력을 실험 및 구조해석 등을 통해 조사, 분석하였다. 일체로 연속된 가로보를 이용한 임시교량은 가로보의 휨강성을 통해 하중을 인접거더로 분산하여 거더에 발생하는 최대휨응력을 감소시키고, 거더의 휨강성을 증대시키는 것으로 확인되어 장경간 임시교량에서도 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

The speed of rail vehicles become higher and higher over two decades, and China has unveiled a prototype high-speed train in October 2020 that has been able to reach 400 km/h. At such high speeds, wheel-rail force items that had previously been ignored in common computational model should be reevaluated and reconsidered. Aiming at this problem, a new model for investigating the vehicle-bridge interaction at high moving speed is proposed. Comparing with the common model, the new model was more accurate and applicable, because it additionally considers the second-order pseudo-inertia forces effect and its modeling equilibrium position was based on the initial deformed curve of bridge, which could include the influences of temperature, pre-camber, shrinkage and creep deformation, and pier uneven settlement, etc. Taking 5 km/h as the speed interval, the dynamic responses of the classical vehicle-bridge system in the speed range of 5 km/h to 400 km/h are studied. The results show that ignoring the second-order pseudo-inertia force will underestimate the dynamic response of vehicle-bridge system and make the high-speed railway bridge structure design unsafe.

This paper proposes an inverter for the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on the transformer-less inverter. This system consists of a high frequency converter bridge, high frequency transformer, diode bridge rectifiers, a DC filter, a low frequency inverter bridge, and an AC filter. The high frequency converter bridge switching at 20kHz is used to generate bipolar PWM pulse, and the high frequency transformer raise its voltage twice, which is subsequently rectified by diode bridge rectifiers to result in a full-wave rectified sine wave. Finally, it is unfolded by a low frequency inverter bridge to result in a 60Hz sine wave power output. Even though the high frequency link system needs more power semiconductors, a reduced size, light weight, and saved parts cost make this system more comparative than the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.

지금까지 실습선의 선교가 운항의 안전성과 효율적인 항해실습교육을 동시에 담보할 수 있도록 설계되었는지 검토하였던 연구는 전무한 상태이다. 본 연구는 국내 실습선의 선교를 주항해선교와 실습선교의 배치형태에 따라 전후형 선교배치, 상하형 선교배치, 단일형 선교배치의 3가지 배치형태로 분류하였다. 또한 설문조사를 통하여 실습선 선교 배치형태에 따라 항해실습교육의 운영형태가 서로 어떻게 달라지는지 검토하였고, 운항과 항해실습교육을 병행하는 데 있어 야기되는 장 단점을 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 운항의 안전성을 확보하고 효율적인 항해실습교육을 위해 새로운 형태의 실습선 선교 개선 모델을 제시하였다.
