Behavior of underground structural systems is usually complicated because of various unknown parameters. In order to construct those structural systems safely and economically, exact identification of the system parameters and accurate analysis of the system behaviors are essentially required. In this study, a forward analysis program, which is able to eliminate numerical errors due to far field boundary effect, is developed by coupling finite and boundary elements. In this coupled analysis, boundary elements are used in the semi-infinite domain where stress variation is small, and finite elements in the stress concentration region where material nonlinearity should be considered. Then, a back analysis program which can identify the system parameters is developed using the direct method to be combined with the forward analysis program. The elastic modulus and initial stress, which are most important in the description of the behavior of underground structures, are taken as the system parameters. A simple example is examined 0 show that the method can be used effectively.

The reduction of booming noise level and improvement of sound quality in the vehicle interior have been major fields of vehicle NVH for many years. In order to reduce the booming noise this paper proposed a system variable, which takes account of mode shapes and natural frequencies of the structural-acoustic system, measurement points and excitation frequency. By simplifying the system variable, the major contributors of panels inculding roof, roof lining, wind shield glasses, doors and floor to booming noise at a specific frequency was experimentally found. Also the relationships between structural modes of roof lining, one of the major contributors, and acoustic modes of compartment cavity were investigated from the viewpoint fo structure-borne noise. In addition, the roof lining was modified structurally by applying marble sponge to the gap between roof and roof lining. Asthe result of structural modification, the booming noise was reduce at target frequency.

This paper presents a design method for the structural-acoustic coupled radiator that can emit sound in the desired direction. A coupled system that has a finite space and a semi-infinite space separated by two flexible walls and an opening is considered. An objective function is selected to maximize radiation power on a main axis and minimize a side lobe level. To get initial values, prediction of a pressure distribution on field points and radiation pattern of the structural-acoustic coupling system is shown at a coupled-resonant frequency. Three different optimization methods are adapted to design the coupled radiator. Pressure and intensity distribution of the designed radiator is presented.

A structural modification technique for reducing structure-borne noise of vehicles using a sensitivity analysis is suggested. To estimate the noises generated by the vibration response, a semi structure-acoustic coupling analysis was exploited. As a result of the coupling analysis, severe noise generating positions are identified whose vibrations should be cured through structural modifications. Formulation for the sensitivity analysis of those severe vibration responses with respect to the design changes is derived to enhance the vibration response. Special attention is given in this paper to the use of the experimentally measured vibration responses in the sensitivity analysis. As a result of the proposed method, the structural modifications can be peformed accurately by using experimental data instead of using the finite element method though the higher vibration modes are considered as long as the vibration measurement and acoustic mode calculations are accurate. Effectiveness of this method was examined using an example model by experiments.

Malfunctions or critical fatigue problems often occur in mistuned periodic structural systems since their vibration responses may become much larger than those of perfectly tuned periodic systems. These are called vibration localization phenomena and it is of great importance to accurately predict the localization phenomena for safe and reliable designs of the periodic structural systems. In this study, a simple discrete system which represents periodic structural systems is employed to analyze the vibration localization phenomena. The statistical effects of mistuning, stiffness coupling, and damping on the vibration localization phenomena are investigated through Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the probability of vibration localization was significantly influenced by the statistical properties except the standard deviation of coupling stiffness.

복합 병렬 전단벽(Coupled shear walls)은 커플링 보와 철근콘크리트 벽체로 구성되어 바람이나 지진 등의 횡하중으로부터 유발된 전도모멘트의 상당 부분을 철골 연결보의 커플링 작용에 의하여 골조 작용(Frame action)을 의하여 횡력에 효율적으로 저항하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 접합부 상세에 따른 복합병렬 전단벽의 접합부 강도에 대한 규준식을 정립하기 위한 선행연구로서 병렬 전단벽 접합부에서 커플링 보의 매립길이 및 벽체 두께를 주변수로 실험적 연구를 수행하여 접합부 상세에 따른 복합 병렬 전단벽 시스템의 거동특성을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 실험결과, 실험체의 거동 및 내력은 매립길이 및 접합부 상세에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 향후 설계시 이에 대한 영향을 반영해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

A new structure-vibration-control approach is proposed which uses a passive coupling element between two parallel structures to reduce the seismic response of a system due to earthquake excitation. Dynamic characteristics of the two coupled single-degree-freedom systems subject to stationary white-noise excitation are examined by means of statistical energy analysis (SEA) techniques. Optimal parameters of the passive coupling element such as damping and stiffness under different circumstances are determined with an emphasis on the influence of the structural parameters of the system on the optimal parameters and control effectiveness. Numerical results including the root mean square values of the response due to the filtered white-noise excitation and the time-histories of response to El Centro 1940 NS excitation are presented.

Extended H$\ddot{u}$ckel molecular calculations have been used to analyze how the magnitude of exchange coupling is influenced by the structural distortions in a series of dinuclear six-coordinate copper(II) complexes bridged by the planar bis-bidentate oxalate anion. Copper(II) ions have distorted octahedral surroundings, one being axially elongated and the other compressed. The magnetic interaction is strong in the former complexes and very weak in the latter. This is interpreted as resulting from a switching of magnetic spin orbitals due to the structural distortions (bond elongation or compression) of the copper sites.

In this paper, a new algorithm of coupling Element-Free Galerkin Method(EFGM) and Boundary Element Method(BEM) using the variational formulation is presented. A global variational coupling formulation of EFGM-BEM is achieved by combining the variational form on each subregion. In the formulation, Lagrange multiplier method is introduced to satisfy the compatibility conditions between EFGM subregion and BEM subregion. Some numerical examples are studied to verify accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, in which numerical performance of the method is compared with that of conventional method such as EFGM-BEM direct coupling method, EFGM and BEM. The proposed method incorporating the merits of EFGM and BEM is expected to be applied to special engineering problems such as the crack propogation problems in very large domain, and underground structures with joints.
