The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the necessity of considering wind load combinations even for low-rise buildings. It first discusses the overall quasi-static wind load effects and their combinations to be considered in structural design of low-rise buildings. It was found that the maximum torsional moment closely correlates with the maximum along-wind base shear. It was also found that the instantaneous pressure distribution causing the maximum along-wind base shear was quite similar to that causing the maximum torsional moment, and that this asymmetric pressure pattern simultaneously accompanies considerable across-wind and torsional components. Secondly, the actual wind pressure distributions causing maximum quasi-static internal forces in the structural frames are conditionally sampled and their typical pressure patterns are presented.

Static torsional provisions employing equivalent lateral force method (ELF) require that the earthquake-induced lateral force at each story be applied at a distance equal to design eccentricity ($e_d$) from a reference resistance centre of the corresponding story. Such code torsional provisions, albeit not explicitly stated, are generally believed to be applicable to the regularly asymmetric buildings. Examined herein is the applicability of such code-torsional provisions to buildings with set-back using rigid as well as flexible diaphragm model. Response of a number of set-back systems computed through ELF with static torsional provisions is compared to that by response spectrum based procedure. Influence of infill wall with a range of opening is also investigated. Results of comprehensive parametric studies suggest that the ELF may, with rational engineering judgment, be used for practical purposes taking some care of the surroundings of the setback for stiff systems in particular.

It has been observed in the past that, the reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns are very often subjected to torsional moment in addition to flexure and shear during seismic vibration. Ignoring torsion in the design can trigger unexpected shear failure of the columns (Farhey et al. 1993). Performance based seismic design is a popular design philosophy which calls for accurate prediction of the hysteresis behavior of structural elements to ensure safe and economical design under earthquake loading. However, very few investigations in the past focused on the development of analytical models to accurately predict the response of RC members under cyclic torsion. Previously developed hysteresis models are not readily applicable for torsional loading owing to significant pinching and stiffness degradation associated with torsion (Wang et al. 2014). The present study proposes an improved polygonal hysteresis model which can accurately predict the hysteretic behavior of RC circular and square columns under torsion. The primary curve is obtained from mechanics based softened truss model for torsion. The proposed model is validated with test data of two circular and two square columns. A good correlation is observed between the predicted and measured torque-twist behavior and dissipated energy.

A diesel forklift truck under 3-ton class has disadvantages in the vibration transmission path. Because the weight ratio of body structure to powertrain which is source of excitation force is lower th an a mid-class forklift. In addition, the torsional and bending vibration mode frequencies of body structure are within the engine excitation frequency range, then high idle vibration generated by resonance. In this paper vehicle body structure design and optimization technique considering idle vibration reduction are presented. Design sensitivity analysis is applied to search the sensitive of design parameters in body structure. The design parameters such as thickness and pillar cross section were optimized to increase the torsional and bending vibration mode frequencies.

본 연구는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 순수 휨이 작용하는 T형 단면보의 탄성 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도에 대해 기술하고 있다. 유한요소해석을 통해 얻어진 결과는 AISC-LRFD(2007)설계기준과 비교되었으며, 검토결과 AISC-LRFD 제안식을 이용하여 얻어지는 값들이 유한요소해석 결과보다 큰 값을 나타내고 있어 안전측 설계를 유도하고 있지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수정된 설계 계산식을 제안하고 예제를 통해 활용성을 검토하였다. 새로운 설계 계산식은 T형보의 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도 산정에 쉽게 적용될 수 있으며, 다양한 하중이 작용하는 경우 T형보의 연구에 적극 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

추진효율 향상을 위해 개발된 초장행정 엔진은 저속에서도 큰 출력을 낼 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면에 이전에 비해 비틀림진동의 기진력은 상당히 증가하였다. 따라서 이전에는 튜닝 휠 또는 플라이휠만으로도 제어가 가능하였던 선박들도 연료절약형 초장행정 엔진이 탑재되는 경우에는 비틀림진동 댐퍼를 적용해야만 제어가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 비틀림진동 제어를 위해 적용된 점성-스프링 댐퍼의 동특성을 확인하고 해당 축계에 최적 동특성을 갖는 점성-스프링 댐퍼를 설계하여 비틀림진동 특성을 검토하였다. 또한, 일부 엔진증속 지연현상을 지닐 우려가 있는 선박의 경우에는 대상축계의 진동 특성을 고려하여 최적댐퍼 설계이론에 따라 선정된 파라미터를 적절히 조정함으로써 과도한 피로누적에 따른 축 절손현상을 방지할 수 있는 축계 비틀림진동 제어 방안을 제시하였다.

The paper presents design optimization of an automobile body for dynamic stiffness improvement. The thicknesses of plates making-up the monocoque body of an automobile were employed as design variables for optimization and the objective was to increase the first torsional and bending natural frequencies. By allotting one design variable to each plate of the body, compared to previous works based on element-wise design variables, design space of optimization was reduced to a large extent and numerical instabilities such as checkerboard pattern was efficiently evaded. The method resulted to a considerable amount of increase in the automobile body's torsional and bending natural frequencies. Considering manufacturability of the optimized result, the converged values of plate thicknesses were approximated to commercially-available values by appropriately reflecting their design sensitivities.

Two stroke low speed diesel engines are mainly used for marine propulsion or power plant prime mover. These have many merits such as higher thermal efficiency, mobility and durability. However various annoying vibrations sometimes occur in ships or at the plant itself. Of these vibrations, torsional vibration is very important and it should be carefully investigated during the initial design stage for engine's safe operation. In this paper authors suggest a new estimation method of for shaft's can be calculated equivalently from accumulated fatigue cycles number due to torsional vibration. The 6S70MC-C($25,320ps{\times}91rpm$) engine for ship propulsion was selected as a case study, and the accumulated fatigue cycles numbers for shafting life time converted from the measured angular velocity and torsional vibration stress was calculated. This new method can be realized and confirmed in test model ship with two stroke low speed diesel engine.

The output power fluctuations of renewable energy power plants such as wind turbine generators and photovoltaic systems result in frequency deviations and terminal voltage fluctuations. Furthermore, these power fluctuations also affect the turbine shaftings of diesel generators and gas-turbine generators which are the main power generation systems on isolated islands. Therefore, it is important to achieve torsional torque suppression. Since the measurement of torsional torque is technically difficult, and there is an uncertainty in the mechanical constants of the shaft torsional system. This paper presents an estimation system that estimates torsional torque by using a developed $H_{\infty}$ observer. In addition to the above functions, the proposed shaft torque observer incorporates a parameter identification system that aims to improve the estimation accuracy. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed $H_{\infty}$ observer and the parameter identification.

본 연구의 대상교량은 세로보와 레일의 중심선이 일치하지 않으며 편심거리가 존재한다. 편심이 존재하지 않는 설계-시공이라면 실제 세로보에서는 열차 하중에 의해 휨 응력만이 발생하게 된다. 그러나 실제 설계-시공 상에서는 세로보와 레일의 중심선이 일치하지 않고 이러한 세로보와 레일의 편심에 의해서 침목에 휨이 발생한다. 이에 따라 침목과 연결되어 있는 세로보에는 휨 응력뿐만 아니라 추가로 비틀림 응력도 발생하게 된다. 이러한 비틀림 응력이 세로보 절취부에 미치는 영향과 수직 브레이싱을 설치하였을 경우의 영향에 대해서 분석해 보도록 한다.
