In this paper, the dynamic stiffness of scaled boundary finite element method(SBFEM) was analytically derived to represent the non-homogeneous space. The non-homogeneous parameters were introduced as an expotential value of power function which denoted the non-homogeneous properties of analysis domain. The dynamic stiffness of analysis domain was asymptotically expanded in frequency domain, and the coefficients of polynomial series were determined to satify the radiational condition. To verify the derived dynamic stiffness of domain, the numerical analysis of the typical problems which have the analytical solution were performed as various non-homogeneous parameters. As results, the derived dynamic stiffness adequatlly represent the features of the non-homogeneous space.

Contrary to the popular view that dative is idiosyncratic to verbs or particular theta roles, the distribution of dative is predictable from the distribution of other cases like nominative, accusative, instrumental, etc. That is, dative behaves like an unmarked or elsewhere choice for Non-Actor/Non-Patient (＝NANP) roles. This paper develops a theory of semantic structural case under the framework of conceptual semantics (Jackendoff 1983, 1990, 1997, 2002). In my proposed analysis, dative is structurally mapped onto NANP entities in the conceptual structure. Important consequences about other peripheral roles are discussed in section 5.

For obtaining the time history nodal responses of reactor building, a lumped-mass beam model composed of two sticks for the reactor building and the reactor support structure is developed. The time history responses for the non-isolated and isolated reactor buildings are calculated under an artificial time history, generated using the seismic spectrum curve of US NRC RG1.60. The analysis results show that the horizontal accelerations of the isolated building are dramatically decreased to one-tenths of the non-isolated one, but the vertical responses are increased by about 40%.

The interface element method for non-matching FEM meshes is extended using stabilized nodal integration. Two non-matching meshes are shown to be joined together compatibly, with the aid of the moving least square approximation. Using stabilized nodal integration, the interface element method is able to satisfy the patch test, which guarantees the convergence of the method.

The performance of steel MRF with rigid connections, proportioned by adopting different capacity design criteria, is evaluated in order to highlight the effectiveness of static non-linear procedure in predicting the structural seismic behavior. In the framework of the performance-based design, some considerations are made on the basis of the results obtained by both dynamic time histories and push-over analyses, particularly with reference to the damage level and the structure ability to withstand a strong earthquake.

This paper is concerned with a practical guide for the ultimate longitudinal strength assessments of ships' hull structure. Rigorous non-linear structural analysis for three tanker models has been carried out to examine the ultimate strength behavior. Formula of estimating the ultimate longitudinal strength has been proposed which is modified with the results of non-linear finite element analysis of hull girders. Computational reliability and accuracy of the large-scale non-linear finite element analysis and the proposed simplified formula are verified through comparing their results with that of 1/3 scale frigate model test and DNVs program. Additionally, the ultimate longitudinal strength for ten tanker models is compared with those by the method specified in the 2nd Draft of common structural rule for tankers, which is being developed by IACS.

This paper presents an analytical method which takes into account the non-linearity of individual members, and discusses some case study results. It also discusses the relationship between member non-elastic behavior and excitation duration, and the relationship between member fracture and overall structure behavior. It is clearly demonstrated that the frame already shows almost unstable behavior due to long-columnization just before the occurrence of a column fracture. Then, a column fracture immediately induces a structural collapse mechanism.

In this paper, we present a quadratic element model based on non-conforming displacement modes and modified shape functions. This new and refined 8-node hybrid stress plane element consists of two additional non-conforming modes that are added to the translational degree of freedom to improve the behavior of a membrane component. Further, the modification of the shape functions through quadratic polynomials in x-y coordinates enables retaining reasonable accuracy even when the element becomes considerably distorted. To establish its accuracy and efficiency, the element is compared with existing elements and - over a wide range of mesh distortions - it is demonstrated to be exceptionally accurate in predicting displacements and stresses.

For a shear-deformable beam-column element subjected to non-conservative forces. equations of motion and a finite element formulation are presented applying extended Hamilton's principle. The influence of non-conservative force's direction parameter. internal and external damping forces, and shear deformation and rotary inertia effects on divergence and flutter loads of Beck's columns are intensively investigated based on element stiffness. damping and mass matrixes derived for the non-conservative system.

This study presents rational methods for probability-based estimates of basic design wind speeds in Korea and develops a risk-bases nation-wide map of design wind speeds. The paper examines the fitting of the Type-I extreme model to maximum yearly non-typhoon wind data from long-term records based on the conventional method and to maximum monthly nod-typhoon wind data from short-term records following Grigorin's approach. The paper also reviews the applicability of the method using short records of about 5 years. The basic design wind speeds for typhoon and non-typhoon wind at a station are made to be obtained from a mixed model which is given as a product of typhoon and non-typhoon extreme wind distributions. A practical method which is based on the fitting of the Type I model to records or typhoon and non-typhoon mixed wind data at a station is also preposed in this study.
