Investigations of large commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings have been drawing extensive attentions, particularly after the 9/11 event, and this paper aims to numerically assess the damage and vibrations of NPP buildings subjected to aircrafts crash. In Part I of present paper, two shots of reduce-scaled model test of aircraft impact on NPP were conducted based on the large rocket sled loading test platform. In the present part, the numerical simulations of both scaled and prototype aircraft impact on NPP buildings are further performed by adopting the commercial program LS-DYNA. Firstly, the refined finite element (FE) models of both scaled aircraft and NPP models in Part I are established, and the model impact test is numerically simulated. The validities of the adopted numerical algorithm, constitutive model and the corresponding parameters are verified based on the experimental NPP model damages and accelerations. Then, the refined simulations of prototype A380 aircraft impact on a hypothetical NPP building are further carried out. It indicates that the NPP building can totally withstand the impact of A380 at a velocity of 150 m/s, while the accompanied intensive vibrations may still lead to different levels of damage on the nuclear related equipment. Referring to the guideline NEI07-13, a maximum acceleration contour is plotted and the shock damage propagation distances under aircraft impact are assessed, which indicates that the nuclear equipment located within 11.5 m from the impact point may endure malfunction. Finally, by respectively considering the rigid and deformable impacts mainly induced by aircraft engine and fuselage, an improved Riera function is proposed to predict the impact force of aircraft A380.

해양과 육지 사이에 있는 연안습지는 연안의 수질을 개선하고 다양한 생물의 자연적인 서식처로 이용될 뿐 아니라 연안침식을 억제하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 연안식생은 외해에서 입사하는 파에너지 또는 폭풍해일을 감소하며 해저 안정화를 통해 습지를 유지하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 식생에 의한 파랑감쇠의 특성을 위해서는 식생과 파랑의 역학적 과정의 검토가 필수적이며 이를 통해 연안과정이나 연안의 동수역학적 특성을 이해할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 파랑조건 이외에 식생형태에 따른 파랑감쇠 특성을 정량화하기 위해 수리실험을 통해 검토하였으며, 식생모형은 강성식생을 대상으로 규칙파가 작용하는 경우에 대해 파악하였다. 파형경사 ak와 상대수심 kh에 따른 수면위로 돌출된 식생에 대한 파랑감쇠를 검토하기 위하여 수리실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 대한 파고감쇠는 Dalrymple et al.(1984)의 파고감쇠식을 통해 식생에 의한 파고전달율, 감쇠율 및 항력계수를 해석하였다. 실험결과 식생에 작용하는 항력계수는 Reynolds수 보다는 Keulegan-Carpenter 수와 상관성이 있고, 파형경사가 증가할수록 파고감쇠율이 증가하고 있음을 확인하였다.

A human gait study is required for the biomechanical design of running shoes. A tow-dimensional dynamic model was developed in order to analyze lower extremity kinematics and loadings at the right ankle, knee, and hip joints. The dynamic model consists of three segments, the upper leg, the lower leg, and the foot. Each segment was assumed to be a rigid body with one or two frictionless hinge joints. The lower extremity motion was assumed to be planar in the sagittal plane. A young male subject was involved in the gait test and his anthropometric data were measured for the calculation of segement mass and moment of inertia. The experimental data were obtained from three trials of walking at 1.2m/s. The foot-floor reaction data were measured from a Kistler force plate. The kinematic data were acquired using a three-dimensional motion measurement system (Expert Vision) with six markers, five of which were placed on the right lower extremity segments and the rest one was attached to the force plate. Based on the model and experimental data for the stance phase of the right foot, the calculated vertical forces reached up to 492, 540, and 561 N at the hip, knee, ankle joints, respectively. The flexion-extension moments reached up to 155, 119, and 33 Nm in magnitude at the corresponding joints.

In this study, we establish hyper-elastic haptic feedback in a virtual environment using finite element analysis techniques and develop a Force Torque (FT) sensor utilization method for application in tele-operation environments. In general, regarding haptic feedback data, in a tele-operation environment, the user is provided with feedback according to the measured force data when the model is inserted through an FT sensor. Conversely, in a virtual environment, the press-fitting model can be expressed through the spring-damper system rather than an FT sensor to provide feedback. However, unlike rigid and the elastic bodies, the hyper-elastic body represented by a spring-damper system in a virtual environment is a simple impedance model using stiffness and damping coefficients; it is limited in terms of providing actual feedback. Thus, in this study, haptic feedback was implemented using the data obtained from POD-RBF analysis results during hyper-elastic press-fitting experiments. The haptic feedback mechanism developed in this study was verified by comparing the FT sensor feedback data measured and calculated through hyper-elastic press-fitting experiments with spring-damper feedback data. Subsequently, the POD-RBF analysis feedback was compared and evaluated against the feedback mechanism of each environment through the test subject, and the similarities between the POD-RBF analysis feedback and FT sensor data feedback were verified.

국내에 적용하고 있는 궤도시스템은 크게 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도로 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트궤도와 자갈궤도의 노반 거동현상을 실험적으로 비교하였다. 실 대형 실험결과 하중 분산은 자갈궤도의 경우 연성포장구조, 콘크리트궤도는 강성포장구조의 형태로 하중이 분산되었으며 하중배분율은 약 30%:20%:15%로 자갈궤도보다 폭 넓게 분산되었다. 열차하중에 대한 노반에서 발생된 토압은 약 30kPa 이내로 기존 실차주행시험결과와 유사한 결과이며 자갈궤도에 비해 약 4배 정도 작게 발생하였다. 또한 반복하중에 대한 콘크리트궤도의 지중입자속도는 약 0.3cm/sec 이내로 자갈궤도보다 8배 정도 작게 측정되었다.

모형실험과 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석을 통하여 측방변형지반 속에 설치된 매설관에 작용하는 측방토압을 관찰하였다. 모형실험에서는 모형지반 속에 매설관을 설치한 후 모형지반에 측방변형이 발생될 수 있게 모형실험기를 제작하여 실제 지반에서의 상황을 시뮬레이션하였다. 이 모형실험기는 지반의 변형속도를 여러 가지로 조절할 수 있게 제작하였다. 여러 가지 직경과 형상의 매설관에 대하여 실험을 실시함으로써 이들 요인이 측방토압에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 모형실험결과 연약지반의 측방유동으로 인하여 매설관에 작용하는 측방하중은 연약지반의 측방변형속도가 빠를수록 크게 작용하였다. 순간재하 조건에 의한 수치해석 결과는 지반변형속도가 중간 정도 빠르기인 0.3mm/min에서 1.0mm/min 사이의 지반변형속도의 조건에서 실시한 모형실험 결과와 유사하였다. 대부분의 모형실험결과 지반변형량이 작은 시점에서 측방하중의 제1항복이 발생하며 이때까지 탄성변형거동을 보이다가 제2항복에 이르기까지 하중이 한 동안 수렴되는 소성거동을 보였다. 지반변형이 계속하여 증가하면 측방하중도 다시 증가하여 압축거동을 보였다. 그러나 빠른 지반변형속도에서의 실험 결과에서는 항복하중에 도달한 후 수렴과정이 없이 계속하여 하중이 증가하였음을 볼 수 있다. 매설관의 직경이 클수록 측방유동 연약지반 속에 설치된 매설관에 작용하는 측방하중의 크기와 하중증가 속도가 컸으며 초기지반변형에서는 측방하중이 매설관의 직경 및 형상의 영향을 적게 받지만 지반변형량이 증가함에 따라 그 영향이 크게 나타났다.

in this paper a dolphin-fender moored pontoon-type floating structure in shallow water depth is studied focusing on mooring force. The pontoon-type floating structure is 500m long, 300m wide. The structure has partially non-uniform drafts of 2.0m and 3.0m. The employed mooring system is a guyed frame type dolphin-fender system. The 1/125 scale model fender system is made of rubber tube to have hi-linear load deflection characteristics. A series of model tests has been conducted focusing on motion and fender force responses in regular and irregular waves at KRISO's ocean engineering basin Non-linear numerical simulation of fender reaction force has been carried out and the results are compared with those of model tests. The simulated rigid body motion and mooring forces also have been compared with the test results.

With the advent of computer, the finite element method has become a most powerful numerical method for structural analysis. However, bridge designers are reluctant to use it in their designs because of its complex nature and its being time consuming in the preparation of the input data and analyzing the results. This paper describes the development of a computer based finite element model using the idea of eccentric beam elements for the analysis of slab-on-girder bridges. The proposed method is supported by a laboratory test using a reinforced concrete bridge model. Other bridge analytical schemes are also introduced and compared with the proposed method. The main aim of the comparison is to prove the effectiveness of the shell and eccentric beam modelling in the studies of lateral load distribution of slab-on-girder bridges. It is concluded that the proposed finite element method gives a closer to real idealization and its developed computer program, SHECAN, is also very simple to use. It is highly recommended to use it as an analytical tool for the design of slab-on-girder bridges.

To investigate the seismic pounding response of long-span bridges with high-piers under strong ground motions, shaking table tests were performed on a 1/10-scaled bridge model consisting of three continuous spans with rigid frames and one simply-supported span. The seismic pounding responses of this bridge model under different earthquake excitations including the uniform excitation and the traveling wave excitations were experimentally studied. The influence of dampers to the seismic pounding effects at the expansion joints was analyzed through nonlinear dynamic analyses in this research. The seismic pounding effects obtained from numerical analyses of the bridge model are in favorable agreement with the experimental results. Seismic pounding effect of bridge superstructures is dependent on the structural dynamic properties of the adjacent spans and characteristics of ground motions. Moreover, supplemental damping can effectively mitigate pounding effects of the bridge superstructures, and reduce the base shear forces of the bridge piers.
