The effect of dead loads on dynamic responses of a uniform elastic beam subjected to moving loads is examined by means of a governing equation which takes into account initial bending stresses due to dead loads. First, the governing equation of beams which includes the effect of dead loads is briefly presented from the author's paper (1990, 1991, 2010). The effect of dead loads is considered by a strain energy produced by conservative initial stresses caused by the dead loads. Second, the effect of dead loads on dynamical responses produced by moving loads in simply supported beams is confirmed by the results of numerical computations using the Galerkin method and Wilson-${\theta}$ method. It is shown that the dynamical responses by moving loads are decreased remarkably on a heavyweight beam when the effect of dead loads is included. Third, an approximate solution of dynamic deflections including the effect of dead loads for a uniform beam subjected to moving loads is presented in a closed-form for the case without the additional mass due to moving loads. The proposed solution shows a good agreement with results of numerical computations with the Galerkin method and Wilson-${\theta}$ method. Finally it is clarified that the effect of dead loads on elastic uniform beams subjected to moving loads acts on the restraint of the transverse vibration for the both cases without and with the additional mass due to moving loads.

This paper investigates the structural behavior of modular falsework system under sequential pattern loads. Based on the studies of 25 construction sites, the pattern load sequence modeling is defined as models R (rectangle), L and U. The study focuses on the system critical loads, regions of largest reaction forces, discrepancy between the pattern load and the uniform load, and the warning-system plan. The analysis results show that the critical loads of modular falsework systems with sequential pattern loads are very close to those with the uniform load used in design. The regions of largest reaction forces are smaller than those calculated by the uniform load. However, the regions of largest reaction forces of three models under sequential pattern loads can be considered as the crucial positions of warning-system based on the measured index of loading. The positions of the sensors for the warning-system for these three different models are not identical.

This paper presents a finite element procedure for dynamic analysis of non-uniform Timoshenko beams made of axially Functionally Graded Material (FGM) under multiple moving point loads. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously in the longitudinal direction according to a predefined power law equation. A beam element, taking the effects of shear deformation and cross-sectional variation into account, is formulated by using exact polynomials derived from the governing differential equations of a uniform homogenous Timoshenko beam element. The dynamic responses of the beams are computed by using the implicit Newmark method. The numerical results show that the dynamic characteristics of the beams are greatly influenced by the number of moving point loads. The effects of the distance between the loads, material non-homogeneity, section profiles as well as aspect ratio on the dynamic responses of the beams are also investigated in detail and highlighted.

Based on the equivalent uniform stress concept Presented by Seed and Idriss, sinusoidal cyclic loads which simplified earthquake loads have been applied in evaluating the liquefaction resistance strength experimentally. However, the liquefaction resistance strength of soil based on the equivalent uniform stress concept can not exactly reflect the dynamic characteristics of the irregular earthquake motion. The liquefaction assessment method which was invented by using the equivalent uniform stress concept is suitable for the severe earthquake region such as Japan or USA, so the proper method to Korea is needed. In this study, estimation of the resistance to liquefaction was conducted by applying real earthquake loading to the cyclic triaxial test. From the test results, the characteristics of the fine sand under moderate earthquake were analyzed and compared with the results under strong earthquakes. Typically real earthquake loads used in this study are divided into two types - impact type and vibration type. Furthermore, results of the liquefaction resistance strength based on the equivalent uniform stress concept and tile concept using real earthquake loading were compared.

This study presents critical buckling load optimization of the axially graded layered uniform columns. In the first place, characteristic equations for the critical buckling loads for all boundary conditions are obtained using the transfer matrix method. Then, for each case, square of this equation is taken as a fitness function together with constraints. Due to explicitly unavailable objective function for the critical buckling loads as a function of segment length and volume fraction of the materials, especially for the column structures with higher segment numbers, initially, prescribed value is assumed for it and then the design variables satisfying constraints are searched using Differential Evolution (DE) optimization method coupled with eigen-value routine. For constraint handling, Exterior Penalty Function formulation is adapted to the optimization cycle. Different boundary conditions are considered. The results reveal that maximum increments in the critical buckling loads are attained about 20% for cantilevered and pinned-pinned end conditions and 18% for clamped-clamped case. Finally, the strongest column structure configurations will be determined. The scientific and statistical results confirmed efficiency, reliability and robustness of the Differential Evolution optimization method and it can be used in the similar problems which especially include transcendental functions.

옹벽 설계에서는 차량하중에 의해 유발되는 수평토압을 등가상재하중 높이를 토대로 계산한다. 미국 AASHTO의 LRFD 설계 기준은 미국 표준트럭을 대상으로 선정되었기 때문에 국내의 표준트럭과 부합하는 새로운 등가상재하중 높이를 산정 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국 표준트럭과 다른 국내 표준트럭의 특성을 반영하고 차량주행방향, 포장층의 포아송비, 옹벽높이를 고려하여 Boussinesq 이론에 근거한 국내 등가상재하중 높이를 제안하였다. 국내 표준트럭의 축하중과 하중 밀도가 미국 표준트럭보다 높기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 제안한 등가상재하중 높이는 미국 설계 기준에 제안된 등가상재하중 높이 보다 큰 것을 확인하였다. 가장 높은 등가상재하중 높이는 차량주행방향이 옹벽길이방향과 직교할 때로 확인되었다.

Pressure loads caused by gas, water and wind are the most important load cases in structural analysis. Often the pressure loads are approximated by constant directional loads since it is difficult to evaluate the exact value. However, the pressure load is defined as a displacement dependent one and it is necessary to consider the follower effects of the load in analysis procedure. In this study, the large deformation analysis considering geometrical nonlinearity for shell structures under pressure loads is presented. Finite element by using a three-node flat triangular shell element is formulated and the follower effects of the pressure load are included in the formulation. Some of results are presented for cantilevered beam under uniform external pressure and thin circular ring under non-uniform external pressure. The present results are in good agreement with the results available in existing literature and commercial software ABAQUS.

In this study, a aerodynamic loads prediction to design a deploying device of folded fin was introduced. In general, resultant flow conditions around the fin are used to obtain deploying moments and required energy. However, when it comes to the air vehicles launched from a mobile platform, more specific flow conditions can be provided. With the conditions, the design criteria can be calculated more realistically. In this study, therefore, aerodynamic moments induced by aerodynamic loads and energy required in deployment were calculated using wind-over-deck(WOD) velocity, combination of a platform velocity and a wind velocity. For the calculation, wind tunnel test was conducted on various angle of attack, side slip angles, and folding angles. It was found that the aerodynamic moments and the energy required in deployment using the non-uniform flow due to the velocity components were less than those using the uniform flow without the components.

Numerical investigation on dynamic characteristics of sandwich plates under periodic and thermal loads has been presented by assuming that the plate has three layers which are a foam core and two skins. The foam core made of Aluminum has porosities with uniform and graded dispersions. The sandwich plate has been supposed to be affected by periodical compressive loads. Also, temperature variation causes uniform thermal load. The formulation has been established based upon a higher-order plate theory and Ritz method has been used to solve the equations of motion. The stability boundaries have also been obtained performing Bolotin's method. It will be indicated that stability boundaries of the sandwich plate depend on periodical load parameters, porosities, skin thickness and temperature.

큰 상부 형상을 가지는 FLNG (Liquefied Natural Gas Floating Production Storage Offloading Units, LNG FPSOs) 등의 해양구조물은 안정적인 운동성능 확보 및 계류라인 설계에 있어 정도 높은 풍하중 추정이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 FLNG의 풍하중 추정을 위한 수치해석 기법을 개발하는 데 있다. 특히, 본 연구에서 개발한 수치해석 기법은 저자의 이전연구를 FLNG에 맞추어 수정하였다. 풍하중 추정을 위한 수치해석은 15° 간격으로 0-360° 범위에서 균일 풍속 조건과 풍속 프로파일을 적용한 NPD (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate) 조건에서 수행하였다. 먼저, NPD 모델 풍속 프로파일 모델 개발을 위해 Sand-Grain Roughness 변화에 따른 풍속 프로파일을 분석하였다. 개발된 NPD 모델을 이용하여 3가지 풍향 (Head, Quartering & Beam)에 대한 메쉬 수렴성 시험을 수행하였다. 최종적으로 개발된 NPD 모델과 메쉬를 이용하여 균일한 풍속 조건과 NPD 조건에서의 풍하중을 평가하고 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) 기반 Solver인 STAR-CCM+ (17.02)를 이용하였다. 결과를 요약하면, 풍속 프로파일을 적용한 NPD 모델에서의 풍하중은 균일 풍속(10m/s) 조건과 비교하여, Surge와 Yaw 하중이 최대 20.35 % 와 34.27% 증가하였다. 특히, 특정 일부 구간에서만 큰 하중의 차이를 보인 Sway (45°< α < 135°, 225°< α < 315°)와 Roll (60° < α < 135°, 225° < α < 270°)은 구간별 평균 증가율이 15.60%와 10.89% 수준으로 나타났다.
