The grid structures with welded hollow spherical joint (WHSJ) have gained increasing popularity for use in industrial buildings with suspended cranes, and usually welded with steel tube (ST). The fatigue performance of steel tube-welded hollow spherical joint (ST-WHSJ) is however not yet well characterized, and there is little research on fatigue life prediction methods of ST-WHSJ. In this study, based on previous fatigue tests, three series of specimen fatigue data with different design parameters and stress ratios were compared, and two fatigue failure modes were revealed: failure at the weld toe of the ST and the WHSJ respectively. Then, S-N curves of nominal stress were uniformed. Furthermore, a finite element model (FEM) was validated by static test, and was introduced to assess fatigue behavior with the hot spot stress method (HSSM) and the effective notch stress method (ENSM). Both methods could provide conservative predictions, and these two methods had similar results. However, ENSM, especially when using von Mises stress, had a better fit for the series with a non- positive stress ratio. After including the welding residual stress and mean stress, analyses with the local stress method (LSM) and the critical distance method (CDM, including point method and line method) were carried out. It could be seen that the point method of CDM led to more accurate predictions than LSM, and was recommended for series with positive stress ratios.

최근 기후변동성으로 인하여 집중호우의 발생빈도 및 강우강도 증가로 노후화된 여수로 바닥슬래브 표면에서의 손상이 발생하여 잦은 보수·보강이 필요한 실정이다. 이를 위해 현장조사, 수리모형 실험 및 수치모형 실험을 통하여 여수로 방류에 따른 손상발생 원인 검토에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 일반적으로 여수로의 흐름특성 및 압력분포에 대한 검토를 수행하였을 뿐 손상의 근본적인 발생원인 규명에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 여수로 바닥슬래브 손상발생 원인을 도출하기 위해 공동침식 및 수력잭킹(hydraulic jacking)으로 인한 콘크리트 탈락관점에서 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D와 COMSOL Multiphysics를 사용하여 검토하였다. 또한 공동지수를 산정하고 압력분포로 인하여 구조물이 받는 응력과 콘크리트의 인장·굽힘강도를 비교하여 공동침식 및 수력잭킹으로 인한 콘크리트 탈락 발생 가능성을 확인하였다. 수문 완전개도 조건에서 여수로 방류에 따른 공동침식 및 수력잭킹에 대하여 수치모의를 수행한 결과, 여수로 하류부에서 공동지수가 0.3 미만으로 공동침식 발생 가능성을 확인하였고, 공동부 및 균열부에서 압력분포에 따라 콘크리트가 받는 응력은 4.6~5.0 MPa로 콘크리트 인장강도와 굽힘강도와 비교를 통하여 지속적인 압력변동으로 인한 콘크리트의 피로파괴 또는 휨파괴 가능성을 확인하였다. 따라서 여수로 고유속 흐름에 의한 공동 현상 및 수력잭킹이 여수로 바닥슬래브 손상발생의 다양한 원인 중 하나로 판단하였다. 그러나 본 연구는 다양한 형상 조건 및 방류 시나리오를 적용하고 유체-구조물 상호작용(Fluid-Structure Interaction, FSI)모의를 수행하지 못하였다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 향후에는 한계점을 보완하여 검토한다면 보다 효율적이고 효과적인 여수로 유지관리 방안 도출이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Truss-Z (TZ) is an Extremely Modular System (EMS). Such systems allow for creation of structurally sound free-form structures, are comprised of as few types of modules as possible, and are not constrained by a regular tessellation of space. Their objective is to create spatial structures in given environments connecting given terminals without self-intersections and obstacle-intersections. TZ is a skeletal modular system for creating free-form pedestrian ramps and ramp networks. The previous research on TZ focused on global discrete geometric optimization of the spatial configuration of modules. This paper reports on the first attempts at structural optimization of the module for a single-branch TZ. The internal topology and the sizing of module beams are subject to optimization. An important challenge is that the module is to be universal: it must be designed for the worst case scenario, as defined by the module position within a TZ branch and the geometric configuration of the branch itself. There are four variations of each module, and the number of unique TZ configurations grows exponentially with the branch length. The aim is to obtain minimum-mass modules with the von Mises equivalent stress constrained under certain design load. The resulting modules are further evaluated also in terms of the typical structural criterion of compliance.

In mechanical analysis of spacecraft structures situations appear where static and dynamic loads must be considered simultaneously. This could be necessary either by load definition or preloaded structures. The superposition of these environments has an impact on the load and stress distribution of the analysed structures. However, this superposition cannot be done by adding both load contributions directly. As an example, to compute equivalent Von Mises stresses, the phase information must be taken into account in the stress tensor superposition. Finite Element based frequency response solvers do not allow the calculation of superposed static and dynamic responses. A manual combination of loads in a post-processing task is required. In this paper, procedures for static and harmonic loads superposition are presented and supported by analytical and finite element-based examples. The aim of the paper is to provide evidence of the risks of using different superposition techniques. Real application examples such as preloaded mechanism structures and propulsion system tubing assemblies are provided. This study has been performed by the Structural Engineering department of Airbus Defence and Space GmbH Friedrichshafen.

The thickness of a stable and economical frame has been designed in order to reduce costs. Therefore, this study applied structural analysis and vibration analysis based on a comparison of the thicknesses of frames. Four types of frames (1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm) were modeled on a bicycle frame that has a length of 842mm, a width of 100mm, and a height of 400.5mm, and all of these frames generated the stress and maximum deformation amount in the state and around the saddle. The maximum stress shown was 25.732 MPa in 1mm, 11.79 MPa in 2mm, and 8.2015 MPa in 3mm, and the maximum deformation amount shown was 0.063611mm in 1mm, 0.031978mm in 2mm, and 0.022319mm in 3mm. The natural frequency of the frame thicknesses 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm was estimated as within 270 Hz. The critical frequency of conditions of 3mm was the biggest at 118.1Hz compared with the 3-mm model; thus, 3mm was shown to have the most satisfactory resistance.

a basis such as IT(Information Technology), NT(Nano Technology) and BT(Bio Technology). Recently, NT is applied to various fields that are composed of science, industry, media and semiconductor-micro technology. It has need of IT that is ultra-precision positioning technology with strokes of many hundreds mm and maintenance of nm precision in fields of ultra micro process, ultra precision measurement, photo communication part and photo magnetic memory. This thesis represents optimal design on ultra-precision positioning with single plane X-Y stage and development of artificial control system for adequacy of industrial demand. Also, dynamic simulation on global stage is performed by using ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System) for the purpose of grasping dynamic characteristic on user designed X-Y global stage. The error between displacements from micro stage and from FEM(Finite Element Method) is 3.53% by verifications of stability on micro stage and control performance. As maximum Von-mises stress on hinge of micro stage is 5.981kg/mm$^2$ that is 1.5% of yield stress, stability on hinge is secured. Preparing previous results, optimal design of micro stage can be possible, and reliance of results with FEM can be secured.

Highly curved steel-box bridges are usually constructed as ramp structures for the highway interchange and metropolitan elevated highway junction, but a number of these bridges are deteriorated and damaged to a significant degree due to heavy traffic. The main objective of the study is to develop a practical reliability-based assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of existing curved steel-box ramp bridges. In the paper, for the realistic assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of deteriorated and/or damaged curved steel-box bridges, an interactive non-linear limit state model is formulated based on the von Mises's combined stress yield criterion. It is demonstrated that the proposed model is effective for the assessment of reliability-based safety and the evaluation of residual load carrying-capacity of curved steel-box bridges. In addition, this study comparatively shows the applicability of various reliability analysis methods, and suggests a practical and effective one to be used in practice.

As subsea production has been revived up, the demand of subsea equipment has also been increased. Among the equipment, subsea tree plays a major role in safety. The tubing hanger is one of the most important components in subsea tree. In this study structural reliability analysis on dual bore tubing hanger of subsea tree is performed. The target reliability which is introduced in ISO regulation is used for judging whether tubing hanger is safe or not. The considered loads are working pressure, working temperature and suspended tubing weight. Thermal-stress analysis on tubing hanger is performed and kriging model is created based on the results of FEM analysis. According to von Mises criterion, limit state equation can be estimated. Reliability analysis is performed by using level 2 method and the result is verified by that of Monte Carlo Simulation. For finding most probable failure point, enhanced HL-RF method is adopted. Because the reliability of model doesn't reach target reliability, an improvement measure should be considered. Thus, it is suggested to change the material of tubing hanger main body to AISI 4140.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of loading at three different occlusal surface position of the gold alloy crown on the stress distributions in surrounding bone, utilizing 3-dimensional finite element method. A three dimensional finite element model of an implant with simplified gold alloy crown and supporting bone was developed for this study. A oblique or vertical load of 100 N was applied at the following position at each FE model : 1) center of occlusal surface, 2) a point on the buccal side away from center of occlusal surface (COS) by 2.8mm, 3) a point on the lingual side away from COS by 2.8mm. In the results, Minimum von Mises stresses under vertical load or oblique load of 100N were about 6MPa at the center of occlusal surface and about 40MPa at the point on the buccal side, respectively. From the results we could come to the conclusion that occlusive loading position could be an important factor for establishment of structural safety of supporting bone.
