  • This paper describes a quasi-static finite element analysis, which uses the explicit integration method, of the apex joint of a cold-formed steel portal frame. Such cold-formed steel joints are semi-rigid as a result of bolt-hole elongation. Furthermore, the channel-sections that are being connected have a reduced moment capacity as a result of a bimoment. In the finite element model described, the bolt-holes and bolt shanks are all physically modelled, with contact defined between them. The force-displacement curves obtained from the quasi-static analysis are shown to be similar to those of the experimental test results, both in terms of stiffness as well as failure load. It is demonstrated that quasi-static finite element analysis can be used to predict the behavior of cold-formed steel portal frame joints and overcome convergence issues experienced in static finite element analysis.

  • Dams have a great importance on energy and irrigation. Dams must be evaluated statically and dynamically even after construction. For this purpose, Torul dam built between years 2000 and 2007 Harsit River in Gümüşhane province, Turkey, is selected as an application. The Torul dam has 137 m height and 322 GWh annual energy production capacity. Torul dam is a kind of concrete face rock fill dam (CFRD). In this study, static and pseudo seismic stability of Torul dam was investigated using finite element method. Torul dam model is constituted by numerical stress analysis named Phase2 which is based on finite element method. The dam was examined under 11 different water filling levels. Thirteenth stage of the numerical model is corresponding full reservoir condition which water filled up under crest line. Besides, pseudo static coefficients for dynamic condition applied to the dam in fourteenth stage of the model. Stability assessment of the Torul dam has been discussed according to the displacement throughout the dam body. For static and pseudo seismic cases, the displacements in the dam body have been compared. The total displacements of the dam according to its the empty state increase dramatically at the height of the water level of about 70 m and above. Compared to the pseudo-seismic analysis, the displacement of dam at the full reservoir condition is approximately two times as high as static analysis.

  • A multi-leg spread mooring system for floating offshore structures is important, but the multi-leg static analysis is complicated due to the nonlinear behavior of each line and the effect of current which affects each line differently. The pretensioned position of the multi-leg mooring system obtained from the static equilibrium condition changes into a different position due to external loads and current. In this paper, the new position and the static tension at each line are caculated. The relation between the initial static equilibrium position and the new position due to the external loads is expressed in terms of the Taylor's series expansion. The Runge-Kutta $4^{th}$ method is employed in analyzing the 3-dimensional static cable nonlinear equations.

  • The equivalent static force procedure and the response spectrum analysis method are widely used for seismic analyses of multi-story buildings. The equivalent static force procedure is one of the most simple but less accurate method in predicting possible seismic response of a structure. The response spectrum analysis method provides more accurate results while it takes much longer computational time. In the response spectrum method, dynamic response of a multi-story building is obtained by combining modal responses through a proper procedure such as SRSS or CQC method. Since all of the analysis results are expressed in absolute values, structural engineers have difficulties to combine them with the results obtained from the static analysis. Design automation is interrupted at this stage because of the difficulty in the decision of the most critical design load. Pseudo-dynamic analysis method proposed in this study provides more accurate seismic analysis results than those of the equivalent static force procedure since the dynamic characteristics of a structure is considered. And the proposed method has an advantage in combination of the analysis results due to gravity loads and seismic loads since the direction of the forces can be considered.

  • In the present study, a Cook Book method and a Static System Analysis method were compared with each other on the basis of a seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities and analyzed. The Cook Book method is analyzed by dividing a pipeline in each same section. In this method, a stress analysis is not possible except for the section analyzed in such a way that a brace is designed according to the weight of pipe, water and pipe fitting. To the contrary, in case of the Static System Analysis method, the stress analysis for the whole pipeline can be performed because the whole pipeline is regarded as a single structure. For the fatal stress values locally generated, it is necessary to actively perform a pipeline analysis by installing a device capable of locally relieving the stress of the pipeline. In Korea, only the Cook Book method is provided as the seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities, which causes many problems with diversification of seismic design. Thus, it is necessary to apply the seismic design method of the pipeline by using various kinds of engineered Static System Analysis methods.

  • This study tries to test and analyze the static friction torque generated by an electromagnetic clutch. Then the torque is improved by optimizing the shape of armature. For the purpose of design change and optimization of the electromagnetic clutch, the static friction torque prediction is very important. We construct an axi symmetric FEM model for analyzing the static friction torque and used a torque tester for evaluating the real torque. For a test, predicted static friction torque is compared with the experimental one to discuss the rationality of torque analysis process. The analytical result agrees well with experimental data, explaining the validity of the mathematical process and FEM model. After confirming the torque analysis process, the optimization process is investigated. The optimization result shows that the static torque is improved by changing the armature shape.

  • This paper concerns the static, dynamic and thermal characteristics analysis of a high-speed spindle system for horizontal machining centers with 45mm x50,000rpm. The spindle system is designed based on the angular contact ceramic ball bearings, built-in motor, oil-air lubrication method and oil jacket cooling method. The structural and thermal analysis models of spindle system are constructed by the finite element method. The static and dynamic characteristics are estimated based on the static deformation, modal parameter, mode shape and frequency response function, and the thermal characteristics are estimated based on the temperature rise, temperature distribution and thermal deformation. The analysis results illustrate that the designed spindle system has excellent structural and thermal stabilities

  • The purpose of this paper is to analyze the static and dynamic stability-of the unmanned airship under development ; the target airship's over-all length of hull is 50m and the maximum diameter is 12.5m. For the analysis, the dynamic model of an airship was defined and both the nonlinear and linear dynamic equations of motion were derived. Two different configuration models (KA002Y and KA003Y) of the airship were used for the target model of the static stability analysis and the dynamic stability analysis. From the result of analyses, though the airship is unstable in static stability, dynamic characteristics of the airship can provide the stable dynamic stability. All of the results, airship models and dynamic flight equations will be an important basement and basic information for the next step of developing the automatic flight control system(AFCS) and the stability augmentation system(SAS) for the unmanned airship as well as for the stratospheric airship in the future.

  • In this paper, it is clearly shown that the two well-known necessary and sufficient conditions mp n as generic static output feedback pole-assignment and mp + d(m+p) n+d as generic minimum d-th order dynamic output feedback pole-assignment on complex field, unbelievably, do not match up each other in strictly proper linear systems. For the analysis, a diagram analysis is newly created (which is defined by the analysis of 'convoluted rectangular/dot diagrams' constructed via node-branch conversion of the signal flow graphs of output feedback gain loops). Under this diagram analysis, it is proved that the minimum d-th order dynamic output feedback compensator for pole-assignment in m-input, p-output, n-th order systems is quantitatively decomposed into static output feedback compensator and its associated d number of arbitrary 1st order dynamic elements in augmented (m+d)-input, (p+d)-output, (n+d)-th order systems. Total configuration of the mismatched data is presented in a Table.

  • The static analysis of the source code is to find the remaining security weaknesses for a wide range of source codes. The static analysis tool is used to check the result, and the static analysis expert performs spying and false detection analysis on the result. In this process, the amount of analysis is large and the rate of false positives is high, so a lot of time and effort is required, and a method of efficient analysis is required. In addition, it is rare for experts to analyze only the source code of the line where the defect occurred when performing positive/false detection analysis. Depending on the type of defect, the surrounding source code is analyzed together and the final analysis result is delivered. In order to solve the difficulty of experts discriminating positive and false positives using these static analysis tools, this paper proposes a method of determining whether or not the security weakness found by the static analysis tools is a spy detection through artificial intelligence rather than an expert. In addition, the optimal size was confirmed through an experiment to see how the size of the training data (source code around the defects) used for such machine learning affects the performance. This result is expected to help the static analysis expert's job of classifying positive and false positives after static analysis.
