Thin walled steel bridge-piers/columns are vulnerable to damage, when subjected to earthquake excitations. Local buckling, global buckling or interaction between local and global buckling usually is the cause of this damage, which results in significant strength reduction of the member. In this study new innovative design concepts, "thin-walled corrugated steel columns" and "thin-walled cellular steel columns" are presented, which allow the column to undergo large plastic deformations without significant strength reduction; hence dissipate energy under cyclic loading. It is shown that, compared with the conventional designs, circular and stiffened box sections, these new innovative concepts might results in cost-effective designs, with improved buckling and ductility properties. Using a finite element model, that takes the non-linear material properties into consideration, it is shown that the corrugations will act like longitudinal stiffeners that are supporting each other, thus improving the buckling behavior and allowing for reduction of the overall wall thickness of the column.

Frequently, steel silos are supported by discrete supports or columns to permit easy access beneath the barrel. In such cases, large loads are transferred to the limited number of supports, causing locally high axial compressive stress concentrations in the shell wall above the supports. If not dealt with properly, these increased stresses will lead to premature failure of the silo due to local instability in the regions above the supports. Local stiffening near the supports is a way to improve the buckling resistance, as material is added in the region of elevated stresses, levelling these out to values found in uniformly supported silos. The aim of a study on the properties of local stiffening will then be to increase the failure load, governed by an interaction of plastic collapse and elastic instability, to that of a discrete supported silo. However, during the course of such a study it was found that, although the failure remains local, the cylinder height is also a parameter that influences the failure mechanism, a fact that is not properly taken into account in current design practice and codes. This paper describes the mechanism behind the effect of the cylinder height on the failure load, which is related to pre-buckling deformations of the shell structure. All results and conclusions are based on geometrically and materially non-linear finite element analyses.

변단면 부재는 Amirikian(1952)에 의해 제안되어 재료 절약적 측면이나 효율적인 구조설계로 인한 경제성 확보를 목적으로 주로 단층의 장스팬 건물이나 빌딩의 켄틸레버 보에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 단면성능만을 고려하여 웨브의 춤을 설계할 때 AISC(201)에서 규정한 변단비를 넘어서거나 비콤팩트, 세장판요소로 설계되어지는 경우가 있어 이에 대한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 변단비와 판복두께비를 주요 빈수로 한 7개의 실험체를 제작하여 반복하중을 받는 변단면 부재의 국부좌굴 특성을 살펴보았다.

To evaluate the bending collapse behavior of an aluminum square tube, a finite element simulation for the four-point bending test was suggested. Local buckling deformation near the center of an aluminum tube specimen was induced which has been partly inserted by two steel bars. Simulation results showed good agreements with those of experiment.

Tubular steel sections are widespread all over the world because of their strength and aesthetic appearance. Tubular steel members may exhibit local buckling such as elephant foot or overall buckling under extreme compression load. Recently, external bonding of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) sheets for strengthening these members has been explored through experimental research. This paper presents three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the structural behavior of strengthening tubular steel members with FRP against local and overall buckling phenomena. Out-of-roundness and out-of-straightness imperfections were introduced to the numerical models to simulate the elephant foot and overall buckling, respectively. The nonlinear analysis preferences such as the integration scheme of the shell elements, the algorithm for solution of nonlinear equations, the loading procedure, the bisection limits for the load increments, and the convergence criteria were set, appropriately enough, to successfully track the sophisticated buckling deformations. The agreement between the results of both the presented FEA and the experimental research was evident. The FEA results demonstrated the power of the presented rigorous FEA in monitoring the plastic strain distribution and the buckling phenomena (initiation and propagation). Consequently, the buckling process was interpreted for each mode (elephant foot and overall) into three sequential stages. Furthermore, the influence of FRP layers on the nonlinear analysis preferences and the results was presented.

Non-linear large-displacement elasto-plastic finite element analyses are used to propose design recommendations for the eaves bracket of a cold-formed steel portal frame. Owing to the thinness of the sheet steel used for the brackets, such a structural design problem is not trivial as the brackets need to be designed against failure through buckling; without availability of the finite element method, expensive laboratory testing would therefore be required. In this paper, the finite element method is firstly used to predict the plastic moment capacity of the eaves bracket. Parametric studies are then used to propose design recommendations for the eaves bracket against two potential buckling modes of failure: (1) buckling of the stiffened free-edge into one-half sine wave, (2) local plate buckling of the exposed triangular bracket area.The results of full-scale laboratory tests on selected geometries of eaves bracket demonstrate that the proposed design recommendations are conservative. The use of the finite element method in this way exploits modern computational techniques for an otherwise difficult structural design problem.

선박은 박판으로 이루어진 상자형구조물이기 때문에 선박이 황천항해를 하게 되면 선체의 상갑판과 선저판에는 호깅이나 새깅이 반복적으로 일어나므로 선테판에는 인장력과 압축력이 반복적으로 작용하게 된다 이 중에서도 압축력이 작용하는 경우가 선박의 종강도상에 치명적인 결과를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서, 본 본문에서는 선체판중에서 종횡비가 1.4인 판을 대상으로 하여 탄소성유한요소해석을 통하여 압축하중을 계속적으로 증가시켜 좌굴과 함께 탄소성대변형거동을 밝힘과 동시에 2차좌굴과 탄소성거동과의 메카니즘을 규명하여 압축하중을 받는 선테판의 탄소성대변형거동을 규명하였다.

본 논문에서는 편면 보강판의 압축 강도 해석 시, 유한 요소법의 비경제성을 극복하기 위하여, 붕괴 양식을 가정하고, 각 붕괴 양식에 대해 압축 강도를 구하였다. 최종 강도는 탄성 대변형 해석 곡선과 소성 붕괴를 가정하여 얻은 소성 해석 곡선과의 교점으로 택하였다. 기존의 연구와는 달리 소성 붕괴선의 형상을 변경시켜 최소의 강도 값을 주는 교점을 최종 강도로 택하였다. 최소 강비는 가정한 붕괴 양식의 교점으로 부터 얻어질 수 있다. 탄성 해석에서는 좌굴 파형을 가정하고, 보강재의 비대칭으로 인한 편심 모우멘트를 고려하였으며, 평형 조건식은 Rayleigh-Ritz법을 이용하여 유도하였다. 소성 해석 시에는 고성 붕괴선을 가정하여 소성 붕괴 조건식을 유도하였다. 좌굴과 최종 강도 계산 결과를 유한 요소법에 의한 결과와 비교한 결과, 양호한 일치를 보였다.

소성설계에 있어서 국부좌굴 후의 거동은 매우 중요한 고려사항이며, 최종 붕괴상태에 이르는 거동을 설명한다. 지진과 같은 복잡한 하중에 대하여 구조물의 실질적인 신뢰성을 얻기 위해, 국부좌굴 이후의 구조물의 점진적인 소재의 약화와 강성과 강도의 감소, 에너지 소실능력을 평가하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는, two-surface 모델에 근거하여 반복 불비례 하중에서의 국부좌굴 후 거동을 예측하기 위하여 제시된 stress resultant model을 이용하여, 단순화된 국부좌굴해석모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델을 사용한 해석적 모멘트-곡률관계는 일정한 반복 사이클 내에서 실험결과와 적절히 부합하며, 내진설계에 있어 중요한 선형 분포된 에너지 감소를 제안 모델로부터 예측할 수 있다.

Fracture behaviors of pipes with local wall thinning are very important for the integrity of nuclear power plant. However, effects of local wall thinning on strength and fracture behaviors of piping system were not well studied. Acoustic emission(AE) has been widely used in various fields because of its extreme sensitivity, dynamic detection ability and location of growing defects. In this study, we investigated failure modes of locally wall thinned pipes and AE signals by bending test. From test results, we could be divided four types of failure modes of ovalization, crack initiation after ovalization, local buckling and crack initiation after local buckling. And fracture behaviors such as elastic region, yielding region, plastic deformation region and crack progress region could be evaluated by AE counts, accumulative counts and time-frequency analysis during bending test. The result of the frequency range is expected to be basic data that can inspect plants in real-time.
