Cable systems are a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending in membrane structure. Tensile membrane structures are most often used as roofs as they can economically and attractively span large distances. But cable systems have weaknesses to vibration by earthquake, wind and vehicle loads. Damage detection of cable systems by using existing safety diagnosis is difficult to detect the characteristic change of overall structural action. If cable snaps are occurred to cable release and tear in tension structures, these are set up a vibration. So, we used piezo-electric materials, and The principle of operation of a piezoelectric sensor is that a physical dimension, transformed into a force, acts on two opposing faces of the sensing element. In this study, the development on test method of cable system is proposed and tested by tensile strength using piezo-electric materials.

휨이나 압축에 저항할 수 없는 막재료에 적절한 장력을 도입함으로써 안정화 되는 막구조물은, 유지 관리면에 있어서 막면에 도입되어 있는 장력을 설계대로 유지하는 것이 매우 중요하지만, 준공후 막면에 도입되어 있는 장력을 정확하게 파악하기가 어렵다. 저자들은, 직방형의 경계를 가지는 막을 가청역의 음파를 이용해 진동시키고, 진동하는 막의 공진진동수를 측정함으로써 간접적으로 막장력을 측정하는 방법을 제안하고, 막을 진동시키는 음파로서 정현파와 화이트 노이즈를 이용해 검증실험을 해 왔다. 본 논문은 주요 막재료를 이용해 행한 막장력 측정 이론의 검증을 위한 실험 결과와, 실재하는 막구조물의 장력측정을 통해, 본 측정장치의 정확성과 폭 넓은 적용성 및 측정에 있어서의 안정성을 검증한다.

In this study, Intersecting Tensegrity System that is integrated solid compression members with tension members was presented. This system is set up by connecting upper and lower compression members of pyramid shape with exterior tension members. In this system, the solid compression members are intersected each other and connected by a tension member in the center. This system is a variation of Tensegrity system, has a improved feature that the system is able to induce prestresses in all of tension members easily by adjusting the distance of a tension member in the center. The proposed system was studied by modeling, and the structural behavior of the system was investigated by mechanical analysis of the model. Furthermore, the features of the structural behavior variations was investigated when the composition elements(total height, size of surface, intersection length, etc.) are changed variously. It was also showed that the system is able to be used as a temporary space structure system with a membrane roof of inverse conical shape.

A stress-strain relationship for reinforced concrete membrane elements subjected to reversed cyclic loading is quite different to that of concrete cylinder subjected to uniaxial compression. The compressive strength of cracked concrete membrane elements is reduced by cracking due to tension in the perpendicular direction. Based on the three reinforced concrete panel tests, a softened stress-strain curve of concrete subjected to reversed cyclic loading is proposed. The proposed model consists of seven stages in the compressive zones and six stages in the tensile zones. The proposed model is verified by comparing to the test results.

Refinement of NMR structures by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a solvent model has improved the structural quality. In this study, we applied MD refinement with the generalized Born (GB) implicit solvent model to protein structure determined under membrane-like environments. Despite popularity of the GB model, its applications to the refinement of NMR structures of hydrophobic proteins, in which detergents or organic solvents enclose proteins, are limited, and there is little information on the use of another GB parameter for these cases. We carried out MD refinement of crambin NMR structure in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles (Ahn et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 4398-4404) with GB/Surface area model and two different surface tension coefficients, one for aquatic and the other for hydrophobic conditions. Our data show that, of two structures by MD refinement with GB model, the one refined with the parameter to consider hydrophobic condition had the better qualities in terms of precision and solvent accessibility.

대공간 구조는 3차원적인 힘의 흐름과 면내력에 의해 외부하중에 대한 저항능력을 확보하는 형태 저항형 구조로서, 구조물 자체의 곡률을 이용하여 면외방향으로 작용하는 외력을 주로 면내력으로 저항할 수 있게한 구조시스템이다. 그러므로, 연성구조물의 일종인 막구조물은 대공간 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 구축할 수 있다. 이러한 막구조물은 지진이나 고정하중에 의한 영향보다 바람의 의한 영향이 매우 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, 풍하중은 주변 환경 및 구조물의 형태에 따라 그 크기가 매우 다르게 나타난다. 본 논문에서는, 우리나라에서 풍하중의 영향을 가장 많이 받은 지역들 중에 건설된, 2개 경기장의 설계 풍하중과 풍동실험 결과값들을 비교 검토해 보고자 한다.

The explicit nonlinear dynamic relaxation method (DRM) is applied to the nonlinear geodesic shape finding analysis by introducing fictional tensioned 'strings' along the desired seams with a three or four-node membrane element. A number of results from the numerical example for the nonlinear geodesic shape finding and patterning analysis are obtained by the proposed method to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the developed method. Therefore, the proposed geodesic shape finding algorithm may improve the applicability of a four-node membrane element to membrane structural engineering and design analysis simultaneously for the shape finding, stress, and patterning analysis.

Geneal Structure optimization is utilized to minimize the weight of structures while satisfying constraints imposed on stress, displacements and natural frequencies, etc. Sandwich structures consist of inside core and outside face sheets. The selected sandwich structures are isotropic sandwich beams and isotropic sandwich plate. The face sheets are treated as membrane and assumed to carry only tensions, while the core is assumed to carry only transverse shear. The characteristic of the varying area are considered by adding the projected component of the tension to the transverse shear. The bending theory and energy method are adopted for analyzing sandwich beams and plates, respectively. In the optimization process, the cost function is the weight of a structure, and a deflection and stress constraints are considered. Design variable are thickness and tapering coefficients which determine the shape of a structure. An existing optimization code is used for solving the formulated problems.

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are commonly used for building structures to resist seismic loading. While the RC shear walls can have a high load-carrying capacity, they tend to fail in a brittle mode under shear, accompanied by forming large diagonal cracks and bond splitting between concrete and steel reinforcement. Improving seismic performance of shear walls has remained a challenge for researchers all over the world. Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), featuring incredible ductility under tension, can be a promising material to replace concrete in shear walls with improved performance. Currently, the application of ECC to large structures is limited due to the lack of the proper constitutive models especially under shear. In this paper, a new Cyclic Softening Membrane Model for reinforced ECC is proposed. The model was built upon the Cyclic Softening Membrane Model for reinforced concrete by (Hsu and Mo 2010). The model was then implemented in the OpenSees program to perform analysis on several cases of shear walls under seismic loading. The seismic response of reinforced ECC compared with RC shear walls under monotonic and cyclic loading, their difference in pinching effect and energy dissipation capacity were studied. The modeling results revealed that reinforced ECC shear walls can have superior seismic performance to traditional RC shear walls.

막 구조물은 연성의 막에 초기 장력을 주고 외관의 강성을 늘림으로써 외부하중에 안정된 형태를 유지하는 구조물로 두께를 얇게 하여 대공간 구조에 많이 채택된다. 이러한 막 구조는 자유로운 곡선을 표현할 수 있는 특성이 있어, 구조적 형태의 선정은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 넙스를 기저함수로 하는 비정형 곡면으로 형상을 표현하고, 최적의 곡면 형상 탐색을 위한 대변형 결과값 도출을 위해 기하학적 비선형을 고려한 유한요소해석법을 제안하였다. 또한, 형상 탐색 결과로 나타난 곡면의 형상 근사화의 최소화를 위해 유한 요소망으로 표현된 최종 형상을 다시 넙스로 구현하는 인터페이스 기법을 제안하여, 비정형 막 구조물의 최적 곡면을 표현하였다.
