This paper presents an improved Monte Carlo simulation for the probabilistic determination of initial cable forces of cable-stayed bridges under dead loads using the response surfaces method. A response surface (i.e. a quadratic response surface without cross-terms) is used to approximate structural response. The use of the response surface eliminates the need to perform a deterministic analysis in each simulation loop. In addition, use of the response surface requires fewer simulation loops than conventional Monte Carlo simulation. Thereby, the computation time is saved significantly. The statistics (e.g. mean value, standard deviation) of the structural response are calculated through conventional Monte Carlo simulation method. By using Monte Carlo simulation, it is possible to use the existing deterministic finite element code without modifying it. Probabilistic analysis of a truss demonstrates the proposed method' efficiency and accuracy; probabilistic determination of initial cable forces of a cable-stayed bridge under dead loads verifies the method's applicability.

Composite beams with web openings are vulnerable to Vierendeel bending failure. The available methods provide quite conservative estimates of Vierendeel bending resistance. An alternative design method to compute the resistance was proposed in this study, based on quadratic nonlinear interactions of normalized shear force, axial force and Vierendeel bending moment. The interactions of the top and bottom Tee section must satisfy mutual conditions to prevent the Vierendeel failure. The normalized shear force and Vierendeel bending moment of the composite part were used instead in the top Tee interaction. The top Tee axial force was computed based on force equilibrium. Based on a rigid-plastic model, the composite resistance is estimated using an effective slab width of the vertical shear resistance. On using the proposed method, nonlinear reductions due to shear loads and axial forces are not required, in contrast to prior methods. The proposed method was validated against experiments from literature. The method limitations and accuracy as well as the Vierendeel behavior were investigated by finite element simulations, with varied composite beam parameters. The proposed design loads are less conservative than earlier estimates and deviate less from the simulations.

3차원 유한요소법은 구조물에 존재하는 표면균열과 내재균열들의 응력확대계수를 구하는데 이용되어 진다. 기하모델, 즉 솔리드모델은 3차원 균열들을 포함하고 있다. 국부적인 절점밀도가 선택되어 지면 자동적으로 기하모델 영역에 중첩되어 지며 절점은 버블패깅 방법에 의해 생성되어지고 10절점 사변형 솔리드요소는 데라우니 삼각화 기술에 의해 생성하였다. 시스템의 정확도와 효용성을 체크하기 위해 인장하중을 받는 평판에 하나의 균열이 존재하는 경우의 응력확대계수를 구해 Raju-Newnam식과 비교하여 5%이내의 차이를 보였다. 또한, 인장하중을 받는 평판에 두개 균열이 존재하는 경우의 해석을 통해 상호 간섭 효과를 분석하였다.

This paper proposes a double cantilever sandwich-beam method for evaluating the frequency dependence of material dynamic characteristics. The flexural vibration of a double cantilever sandwich-beam specimen with a partially inserted rubber layer was studied using a finite element simulation in combination with the sine-sweep test. Quadratic relationships of dynamic elastic modulus and material loss factor of rubbers with frequency were quantitatively suggested employing the least square error method.

The linear actuator has the inherent drawback of air gap variation because its linear motion is usually guided by the springs, which destabilizes the dynamic performance. In order to design the linear actuator to be insensitive to air gap, this paper describes the robust design of the air compressor driving linear actuator using Taguchi method. The orthogonal arrays are constructed with selected control factors and noise factor for minimum experiment. The control factors are thickness of inner magnet, height of upper yoke, thickness of outer magnet and thickness of lower yoke while noise factor is airgap. The finite element analysis using commercial electromagnetic analysis program "MAXWELL" are performed instead of experiment. ANOVA are performed to investigate the effects of design factors. In result, the optimal robust linear actuator which is insensitive to air gap variation is designed.

본 연구에서는 고무의 동탄성계수와 손실계수에 대한 주파수 의존성을 평가하기 위한 새로운 양팔 샌드위치보 시험법을 제안하였다. 고무층이 삽입되어 접착된 양팔샌드위치보 시험편의 횡진동 거동에 대해 유한요소 모달변형률 에너지법을 조합한 사인스위프 시험을 이용하여 분석하고 동적 점 탄성해석시험 및 단순공진시험 결과와 비교 검토하였다. 양팔 샌드위치보의 횡진동 모드에 따라 고무층의 주파수별 동탄성계수와 재료감쇠계수를 측정하고, 이들을 최소자승오차법에 의거하여 주파수의 이차함수로 회귀시켜 평가할 수 있었다.

압전재료를 사용한 복합재료 패널의 플러터 억제 방법으로서 비선형 모델을 기반으로 하는 비선형 제어기법 중의 하나인 궤환 선형화에 의한 제어방법을 소개하였다. 기존의 패널 플러터 제어기에 대한 대부분의 연구들은 선형모델을 기반으로 설계된 선형2차제어기(LQR: Linear Quadratic Regulator)였음에 비해, 본 연구에서 제안한 비선형제어기는 시스템이 갖고 있는 비선형 특성들을 모두 고려해서 설계하였다. 압전 작동기로서는 PZT를 사용하였다. 가상변위의 원리와 4절점 사각형 요소를 사용하여 이산화된 비선형 운동방정식을 유도하였으며 제어기 설계를 위해 모달 변환을 통해 상태공간에서의 비선형 연계-모달 방정식으로 변환하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 비선형 제어기에 의한 제어 결과와 선형모델을 기반으로 한 LQR 제어결과를 Newmark 수치적분법을 통해 시간영역에서 비교하였다.
