A geometrically non-linear finite element formulation of spatial cable networks is presented using three cable elements. Firstly, derivation procedures of tangent stiffness and mass matrices for the space truss element and the elastic catenary cable element, and the isoparametric cable element are summarized. The load incremental method based on Newton-Raphson iteration method and the dynamic relaxation method are presented in order to determine the initial static state of cable nets subjected to self-weights and support motions. Furthermore, static non-linear analysis of cable structures under additional live loads are performed based on the initial configuration. Challenging example problems are presented and discussed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the present finite element method and investigate static non-linear behaviors of cable nets.

본 논문은 공간구조의 기본 요소인 피라미드형 구조단위에 대한 해석과 포스트텐션 시험의 결과를 기술하였다. 시험과정 중에 관찰된 거동 특성을 분석하고 수치해석의 결과와 비교 검토하였으며 시험모델에 대한 미케니즘(Mechanism)을 기하학적 해법으로 확인하였다. 이 논문의 결과는 다 방향성을 가진 조인트 시스템(Mero Joint System)을 이용한 공간구조의 거동을 정확하게 예측할 수 있고 비교적 작은 포스트텐션력으로 공간구조의 형성과 시공이 가능함을 제안하고 있으며 공간구조가 미케니즘을 포함할 경우 큰 변형이 일어나므로 비선형 거동을 고려해야 함을 나타내고 있다.

The Purpose of this paper is to show the applicability of a methodology, developed by the authors, with which to perform the mechanical optimization of space truss structures strongly restricted. This methodology use a parameter call "Volumetric Displacement", as the Objective Function of the optimization process. This parameter considers altogether the structure weight and deformation whose effects are opposed. The Finite Element Method is employed to calculate the stress/strain state and the natural frequency of the structure through a structural linear static and natural frequency analysis. In order to show the potentially of this simple methodology, its application on a large diameter telescope structure (10 m) considering the strongly restriction that became of its use, is presented. This methodology, applied in previous works on continuous structures, such as shell roof and fluid storage vessels, is applied in this case to a space truss structure, with the purpose of generalize its applicability to different structural topology. This technique could be useful in the morphology design of deployable and retractable roof structures, whose use has extensively spread in the last years.

This paper concerns studies on the shape formation of post-tensioned and shaped steel domes. The post-tensioned and shaped steel domes, assembled initially at ground level in an essentially flat condition, are shaped to a curved space form and erected into the final position by means of a post-tensioning technique. Based on previous studies on this shape formation principle, three post-tensioned and shaped steel domes have been constructed. The results of the shape formation tests and finite element analyses are reported in this paper. It is found that the first two test domes did not furnish a part-spherical shape as predicted by finite element analyses, because the movements of some mechanisms were not controlled sufficiently. With a revised post-tensioning method, the third dome obtained the theoretical prediction. The test results of the three post-tensioned and shaped domes have shown that a necessary condition to form a desired space shape from a planar layout with low joint stiffnesses is that the movements of all the existing mechanisms must be effectively controlled as indicated by the finite element analysis. The extent of the maximum elastic deformation of a post-tensioned and shaped steel structure is determined by the strength of the top chords and their joints. However, due to the semi-rigid characteristic of the top chord joints, the finite element analyses cannot give a close prediction for the maximum elastic deformations of the post-tensioned and shaped steel domes. The results of the current studies can be helpful for the design and construction of this type of structure.

본 논문에서는 트러스 구조 해석에 있어서 기존의 하중법을 특이값 분해로 정식화 한 새로운 하중법을 제안하였다. 하중법은 유한요소법을 이용한 트러스 구조 해석법과 달리 접근 방법이 쉬우며 어려운 구조적 개념이 필요하지 않아 일반적인 트러스 구조 해석에서 주로 사용된다. 또한 트러스 및 핀-조인트 골조와 같은 골조 시스템의 구조 해석에도 적용할 수 있어 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 하지만 하중법은 많은 수식을 통해 구조 해석을 수행하여야 하므로 이로 인해 수치상의 오류가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 기존의 하중법에서 사용하던 수식을 특이값 분해로 정식화 한 새로운 하중법을 제안하였다. 이 방법을 사용하여 트러스 구조물을 해석할 경우 기존의 하중법의 기본개념을 그대로 이용하면서도 복잡한 수식을 사용하지 않고 해석을 수행할 수 있으므로 매우 효율적인 방법이다.

A nonlinear finite element analysis of R/C hybrid deep T-beam with web opening subjected to pure torsion is presented. Hexahedral 8-nodes and space truss element were used for modeling concrete and reinforcement. The reinforcement was assumed perfectly bonded to the corresponding nodes of the concrete element. The constitutive relations for concrete and reinforcement are based on the modified field theory and elastic perfectly plastic. The smear crack approach was adopted for modeling the crack. The torque-twist angle relationship curve based on the finite element analysis was compared to the experimental results. The comparison shows that the curve of torque-twist angle predicted by the nonlinear finite element analysis is linear before cracking and close to the experimental result. After cracking, the curve becomes nonlinear and stiffer compared to the experimental result.

The purpose of optimum design for structures is to minimize the cost and to obtain the reasonable structural systems. This design algorithm have many objective functions including discrete variables as sections, weight, stiffness and shapes. Simulated annealing, Genetic algorithm and TABU algorithm are used search for these optimum values in the structural design. TABU algorithm is applied to many types structures to search for section and distribution optimization and compared with the results of Genetic algorithm for evaluating the efficiency of this algorithm. In this paper, the plane truss of 10 elements and the space truss of 25 element having 10 nodes, star dome and cable dome are analyzed as analytical models.

In this study, the improved three-dimensional analysis model designed for a more accurate analysis of marine cable-supported structures, is presented. In this improved analysis model, the beam elements, of which the stability function is derived using Taylor's series expansions, are used to model space frame structures, and the truss elements. The equivalent elastic modulus of the truss elements is evaluated on the assumption that the deflection curve of a cable has a catenary function. By using the proposed three-dimensional analysis model, nonlinear static analysis is carried out for some cable-supported structures. The results are compared with previous studies and show good agreement with their findings.

트러스형 공간 구조물은 무주의 대공간을 덮을 수 있는 장점과 구조적 성질이 동일한 등가 연속체 쉘 로 치환하여도 비교적 정확한 해를 얻을 수 있다는 장점으로 인해 21세기 첨단 구조물의 한 장인 초대형 구조물 분야에 많이 활용되고 있으며, 효율적인 부재의 이용과 대량생산의 가능성으로 인해 많은 발전을 해 왔다. 그러나 이러한 쉘 형태의 공간 구조물은 구조 거동의 특성상 주로 구조안정문제가 구조설계에서 해결해야하는 핵심적인 기술력이 되며, 이를 어떻게 해결하여야 할 것인가의 문제는 아직도 많은 연구자들에게 난제로 남아 있다. 즉, 연속체 쉘 구조의 원리에서 긴 경간을 얇게 만들면, 뜀좌굴과 분기좌굴같은 불안정 거동이 나타나게 되며, 이러한 쉘형 구조 시스템에서 구조 불안정 문제의 특징은 초기 조건에 매우 민감하게 반응한다는 것이고, 이런 문제들은 수학적으로 비선형 문제에 귀착하게 된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 공간 프레임형 구조물의 불안정 현상을 살펴보기 위하여, 다양한 파라메타중 초기불완전량과 rise-span 비가 트러스 구조물의 불안정 현상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하며, 이를 위해 1-자유절점 공간구조물, 2-자유절점 공간구조물, 다-자유절점 공간구조물을 예제로 채택하여 불안정 거동을 살펴보고자 한다.
