This study is concerned with the shape optimization of structural members frequently found in critical area in a structure system, that is, highly stressed zone. Isogeometry analysis is well known to be the very efficient way to integrate the geometric modeling(CAD) and computational analysis(CAE). This can be accomplished by directly using the geometric modeling by NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline). In this study, an efficient computer code adopting the isogeometry concept has been developed for the structural analysis, in which CAD information can be directly used in the finite element modeling. In order to show the validity of the present code, the present results are compared with those by using the commercial package, that is, MSC/NASTRAN. The present isogeometric analysis procedure has been integrated with the optimization procedure to deal with the optimization problem found in the context of structural mechanics. The present system has been successfully applied to the shape optimization of cantilever structure having bracket. From the present study, it can be seen the validity of the present approach and computer codes developed in this study. This paper ends with some discussions about the practical usefulness of the present approach which is based on isogeometry analysis, and extension of the present study.

In this paper, to evaluate and verify safety and performance of new-concept lining board, the experiments and analyses were performed. From the flexural tests, it was noted that the failure occurred at the load of 664kN. At structural analyses based on test results, when the loadings are the unit load 100kN and failure load 664kN, the maximum displacements at the middle part of lining board were 2.58mm and 27.01mm, respectively. In addition, at the elastic range and the plastic range, their load carrying capacities were evaluated as DB-34 and DB-41, respectively. Accordingly, it can be concluded that, since the lining board developed in this study satisfy the design load and structural safety, it supplemented its disadvantages and can apply to construction site.

The planning process of complex projects in oceanic architectural engineering is characterized by the cooperation of many involved specialists and by a high degree of information exchange. In order to improve the quality of the structural design of oceanic buildings, information of different involved partners in the planning process has to be integrated. This paper aims to introduce a concept of the integrated structural design for the floating-type oceanic building using STEP(Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data). STEP(ISO 10303) is an international standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of product data and it provides a consistent data exchange format and application interfaces between different application systems. In this paper, the structural design process and information of oceanic buildings is analyzed and product models are preposed fir the exchange of the structural design information between superstructure and floating structure. The entities for calculating wind loads, metacenter and restoring forces are represented by Express. As a case study a floating hotel is applicated to describe the STEP physical file.

This paper presents database technique for an computer-integrated structural design system of buildings. Network database designed to support all the processes of structural design, such as, planning, modelling, analysis, member design and redesign processes etc. stores all information from user input and system results effectively and so provides centeral communication area between applications. The user interface wi th interactive and batch modes plays roles of building modeler including conventional pre-processor and post-processor. The concepts of 'Planar Surface Modeling' and 'Geometry Zoning' are defined for easy construction of building model. The concept presented in this paper will save the time and memory required for model generation and contribute to data consistency, thus leave a designer more time actually performing the analyses and interpreting the results. The formulation of automating the process of bulilding model ins and structural analysis is the key to study.

Since structural systems may fail in any one of several failure modes, computation of system reliability is always difficult. A method using numerical quadrature for computing structural system reliability with either one or more than one failure mode is presented in this paper. Statistically correlated safety margin equations are transformed into a group of uncorrelated variables and the joint density function of these uncorrelated variables can be generated by using the Maximum Entropy Method. Structural system reliability is then obtained by integrating the joint density function with the transformed safety domain enclosed within a set of linear equations. The Gaussian numerical integration method is introduced in order to improve computational accuracy. This method can be used to evaluate structural system reliability for Gaussian or non-Gaussian variables with either linear or nonlinear safety boundaries. It is also valid for implicit safety margins such as computer programs. Both the theory and the examples show that this method is simple in concept and easy to implement.

The optimal shape modeling of core parts through 3D modeling and structural analysis for the development of small and medium-sized ships. The goal is to improve the efficient structure of the hydraulic system for controlling the rudder among the core steering parts in small and medium-sized ships. Through 3D modeling and structural analysis, a new concept of tiller parts and a double-acting hydraulic cylinder control system were proposed and operational structural stability was evaluated. Structural analysis of the three different tiller designs that can be replaceable onto existing fishing vessels was conducted to derive the final shapes. The emphasis was placed on evaluating the structural stability of the key drive components, the tiller, pin, and cylinder rodin the maximum torque condition of the hydraulic cylinder.

The nonlinear behavior of continuous structural systems which possess external resonances as well as internal resonances are found be exhibit interesting reponses, arising because of the exhange of energy between the coupled modes. In this paper, the undamped forced vibrations was studied on the effect of primary resonance based on the concept of normal modes. By using the concept of normal mode the stability relation between free and forced vibrations was investigated in case of small exciting force. Numerical results show that the excitation of one unstable mode has a great influence on the response of the other mode but that of one stable mode does not.

The current load combination criteria for design of nuclear power plant structures are not based on the probability-based design concept but rely on the conventional design concept. In this paper, a load combination criteria for design of NPP coin-tainment structures are proposed based on a FEM-based random vibration analysis. More accurate reliability analyses under various dynamic loads such as earthquake loads were made possible by incorporating the FEM and random vibration theory, which is different from the conventional reliability analysis method. In this paper, the load factors for the design of NPP structures in Korea are proposed by considering appropriate fond combination criteria for design.

The up-to-date fatigue strength assessment system for ship structures was developed based on the spectral analysis method and numerical calculation for a membrane type LNG carrier was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the developed system. The wave induced loads acting on the ship's hull were calculated based on strip theory. And introducing the concept of influence factor and 3-D fine mesh structural analysis, direct calculation of long-term distribution of wave induced stress components was realized. Using the derived long term distribution of stress components and Miner-Parmgren's linear damage accumulation rule, fatigue strength of structural components were investigated.

The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated environment system for finite element structural analysis using OOA(Object-Oriented Analysis) and OOD(Object-Oriented Design), with may reduce inconveniencies in use such as file input of macro command and improve lacks of graphic presentation in the established finite element analysis program. This paper is attempted to suggest an easy approach to object-oriented concept and convenient programming. Two languages are used together in this paper instead of single C++ language for the development of object-oriented program. : Visual Basic with CDK(Custom Development Kit), and Borland C++ with OWL(Object Windows Library).
