Collapse behavior of Mission-Gothic Undercrossing under Northridge earthquake is studied by performing nonlinear time-history analysis and three-dimensional nonlinear finite element method for flared columns. Bridge structural model is characterized as three-dimensional with consideration of columns, superstructures, and abutment conditions. Three components of ground motion, corresponding to bridge's longitudinal, transverse, and vertical direction and their combinations are used to investigate bridge collapse. Studies indicate that bridge collapse is dominantly caused by transverse ground motion and the consideration of three-dimensional ground motion leads to a more accurate assessment. Failure mechanism of flared columns is analyzed applying nonlinear finite element method. Reduction of column capacity is observed due to orientation of flare. Further investigation demonstrates that the effects of flare play an important role in predicting of bridge failure mechanism. Suggestions are offered to improve the performance of bridges during severe earthquake.

본 연구에서는 레일의 불규칙성을 가우시안 분포(Gausian distribution)를 갖 는 랜덤함수로 보고 레일과 바퀴의 비선형기하학적 형상을 확률적 선형화 방법으로 단 순화하여 측방향 강제진동 응답을 구하였다. 또 구하여진 rms 응답 스펙트럼은 비선 형 방정식을 직접 수치적분하여 구한 결과와 비교하므로써 확률적 선형화방법의 효용 성을 보였다. 또한 열차 주행 속도를 변화 시키면서 강제 진동 응답을 시간 영역에 서 구하였으며 그로부터 지금까지 실험결과에서 나타나고 있는 간헐적헌팅(intermit- tent hunting)에 대한 현상을 설명하였다.

In the present study, the effects of six different ground motion scaling methods on inelastic response of nonlinear steel moment frames (SMFs) are studied. The frames were designed using energy-based PBPD approach with the design concept using pre-selected target drift and yield mechanism as performance limit state. Two target spectrums are considered: maximum credible earthquake spectrum (MCE) and design response spectrum (DRS). In order to investigate the effects of ground motion scaling methods on the response of the structures, totally 3216 nonlinear models including three frames with 4, 8 and 16 stories are designed using PBPD approach and then they are subjected to ensembles of ground motions including 42 far-fault and 90 near-fault pulse-type records which were scaled using the six different scaling methods in accordance to the two aforementioned target spectrums. The distributions of maximum inter-story drift over the height of the structures are computed and compared. Finally, the efficiency and reliability of each ground motion scaling method to estimate the maximum nonlinear inter-story drift of special steel moment frames designed by energy-based PBPD approach are statistically investigated, and the most suitable scaling methods with the lowest dispersion for two groups of earthquake ground motions are introduced.

비선형 구조계의 확률론적 지진해석 방법 중 대표적인 것은 지진 재해도 수준에 해당하는 입력지반운동 모델을 사용한 시간이력을 수행하여 그 응답의 확률분포를 예측하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 널리 사용되고 있는 두 가지 입력지반운동 모델에 따른 구조계 응답의 분포특성 및 파손확률의 차이와 그 원인을 분석한다 입력지반운동 모델로는 실제 지진기록을 배율 조정하여 사용하는 배율조정 입력지반운동과 설계 응답스펙트럼에 상응하는 인공 지진기록을 사용하는 스펙트럼 맞춤 입력지반운동 두 가지를 고려한다. 동일한 지진재해도 수준을 고려한 해석결과 설계 응답스펙트럼에 상응하는 인공 지진기록을 사용한 입력지반운동 모델은 실제 지진기록을 배율 조정한 입력지반운동 모델보다 평균적으로 응답을 크게 평가하였고 이로 인해 파손확률 또한 더 큰 것으로 나타났다 이러한 경향은 연약한 지반에서 더욱 현저한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 입력지반운동 모델에 따른 파손확률의 차이는 스펙트럼 맞춤 입력지반운동의 목표로 사용된 도로교 설계기준의 설계 응답스펙트럼이 실제 지진기록의 응답스펙트럼보다 장주기로 갈수록 응답을 크게 평가하도록 보수적으로 만들어졌기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

Overhead cranes consist of trolley, girder, rope, objects, trolley motor, girder motor, and hoist motor. If objects are regarded as mass point, and the acceleration of hoisting motion for objects is neglected, analytical model of overhead cranes becomes a nonlinear model because the length of a rope changes. Equations of motion this model is derived of simultaneous differential equations fur motors and object. Positions of the model are controlled by optimal inputs which obtain from a nonlinear optimal control method. From the results of computer simulation, even if initial states of objects suing, it is founded that position of overhead cranes is controlled, and that swing of objects is suppressed.

In this paper, the response characteristics of one to one resonance on the rectangular cantilever beam in which basic harmonic excitations are applied by nonlinear coupled differential integral equations are studied. This equations have 3-dimensional non-linearity of nonlinear inertia and nonlinear curvature. Galerkin and multi scale methods are used for theoretical approach to one to one internal resonance. Nonlinear response characteristics of 1st, 2nd, 3rd modes are measured from the experiment for basic harmonic excitation. From the experimental result, geometrical terms of nonlinearity display light spring effect and these terms play an important role in the response characteristics of low frequency modes. Dynamic behaviors in the out of plane are also studied.

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic response of Vehicle-Bridge interaction with the coupled equations of motion including nonlinear Hertzian contact is presented. The moving train model is chosen to have 10 degrees of freedom (DOF). The bridge is modeled as 2D Euler-Bernoulli beam element with 4 DOF for each element, two for rotations and another two for translations. The nonlinear Hertzian contact is used to simulate the interaction between vehicle and bridge. Base on the relationship of wheel displacement of the vehicle and the vertical displacement of the bridge in Hertzian contact, the coupled equations of motion of the whole system is derived. The convenient formulation was encoded into a computer program. The contact forces, contact area and stress of the rail surface were also computed. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed program are verified and compared with exact analytical solution and other previous studies. Various numerical examples and parametric studies have demonstrated the versatility and applicability of the proposed program.

Since it is difficult to analytically express the Melnikov function when a dynamic system possesses multiple saddle fixed points with homoclinic and/or heteroclinic orbits, this paper investigates a vehicle model with nonlinear suspension spring and hysteretic damping element, which exhibits multiple heteroclinic orbits in the unperturbed system. First, an algorithm for Melnikov integrals is developed based on the Melnikov method. And then the amplitude threshold of road excitation at the onset of chaos is determined. By numerical simulation, the existence of chaos in the present system is verified via time history curves, phase portrait plots and $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ maps. Finally, in order to further identify the chaotic motion of the nonlinear system, the maximal Lyapunov exponent is also adopted. The results indicate that the numerical method of estimating chaotic threshold is an effective one to complicated vehicle systems.
