Steel frame structures are widely used in construction because of their efficient strength and rigidity and considered proper cases for design and analysis using concept of plastic behavior. The purpose of plastic analysis is to determine the collapse load of a structure when the plastic moments of its members are given, and optimal plastic design is to compute the plastic moments of the members that minimize total structural weight. In this paper, the plastic analysis and optimal design are performed by using the static approach and solved by the simplex method. From the result of the analysis the solutions by this study show more efficiency in calculations. Also, the structural weight solved by the simplex method in case of two story frame is proved more economical than the one using the elastic design around 24%.

A hierarchical formulation based on p-version of the finite element method for linear elastic axisymmetric stress analysis is presented. This is accomplished by introducing additional nodal variables in the element displacement approximation on the basis of integrals of Legendre polynomials. Since the displacement approximation is hierarchical, the resulting element stiffness matrix and equivalent nodal load vectors are hierarchical also. The merits of the propoosed element are as follow: i) improved conditioning, ii) ease of joining finite elements of different polynomial order, and iii) utilizing previous solutions and computation when attempting a refinement. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency, modeling convenience, robustness and overall superiority of the present formulation. The results obtained from the present formulation are also compared with those available in the literature as well as with the analytical solutions.

Carbon fiber reinforced composites have light weight and high mechanical properties. These materials are only applicable in limited shape structure cause by complex curing process and low drapability. To solve this problem, Long Fiber Prepreg Sheet (LFPS) has been proposed. In this research, electric device cover plate was selected and designed by using LFPS. Before the design process, we analyzed the target structure to which the rib structures were applied. And 8-inch tablet PC product was selected. For FE analysis, simple loading and boundary conditions were applied. Stiffness of rib structure was investigated according to the rib pattern and shape changes. Rib pattern and shape were selected based on fixed volume condition analysis results. And uneven rib width model was selected for the best case whose deflection was reduced 6~10% than uniform rib model.

Inconel alloys are generally used as steam generator tubes in nuclear power plants. These alloys are highnickel chromium alloys that exhibit excellent resistance to aqueous corrosion. In this paper, the effects of elevated temperatures such as an operating temperature of $320^{\circ}C$ on the fretting fatigue behavior of inconel 600 and 690. We observed that the plain and fretting fatigue limits at $320^{\circ}C$ were slightly lower than those at room temperature. The frictional forces varied depending on the number of load cycles. After each test, we studied the fretting fatigue mechanisms via SEM observations. These results can be used for structural integrity evaluations at elevated temperatures and for studying fretting damage in steam generator systems.

On the stability of the Beck's column with a tip mass, the influence of the characteristics of the springs at the fixed end of the column are studied. The equations of motion and boundary conditions of this system are established by using the Hamiton's principle. On the evaluation of the stability of the column, t he effect of the shear deformation and rotatory inertial is considered in calculation. For the maintenance of the stability of the column, it is proved that the constant of the translational spring at the fixed end must be very large while th magnitude of the constant of the rotational spring at the fixed end has no effect. When the constants of the springs at the fixed end are small, it is also proved that the influence of the moment of inertial of the tip mass on the stability of the column are decreased and for the translational spring the degree of the decrease is more and more. Therefore it is found that the characteristics of the springs at the fixed end are very effective elements for the stability of the column when the columns subjected to a compressive follower force are designed.

선박은 판과 보강재를 효율적으로 조립한 매우 복잡한 구조물이고, 이동하는 구조물로써는 최대규모의 구조물이다. 특히, 선체 구조의 설계란 "예상되는 모든 하중에 충분히 견딜 수 있는 강도(strength)와 강성(stiffness)을 가진 부재의 크기를 결정하고 적절히 배치하는 과정이다." 라고 말할 수 있다. 선체 구조의 설계는 부재의 배치가 얼마나 적절하게 잘되어 있는가에 달려 있다고 하여도 과언이 아닐 정도로 매우 중요하다. 주요 구조 부재의 부재 배치에 대한 기본적인 개념은 판 부재의 용접선(seam line), 종, 횡늑골의 간격, 종거어더 등을 예로 들 수 있으며, 부재의 배치는 최적 설계 및 공작상의 관점으로부터 선정되어야 하며, 또한 선체 전체의 구조적인 연결이 불연속이 되지 않도록 하여야 한다. 특히, 판 부재의 용접선은 여러 가지 표준치수로 생산되는 판 들 중, 판의 기준 폭이 얼마인 것을 사용하는 것이 공작상 또는 배치상 가장 편리한 가를 생각하여야 한다. 이것은 선박의 크기에 따라 다르겠지만, 조선소 크레인의 용량 및 가공상, 강도상의 문제를 고려하여 가능한 한용접선의 수를 줄이는 것이 바람직하다. 용접선을 줄이기 위해서는 판 부재의 폭을 넓게 하면 되나, 철강회사에서 표준으로 생산 판매하는 주판의 폭보다 넓은 판을 주문 구입 한다는 것은 곧 생산비용의 증가로 이어지는 것으로 이는 주판 구입 경비 측면에서는 바람직하지 않다. 따라 서, 주판 구입경비의 최소화를 유도하면서도 주판 폭의 적정 및 용접선 개수 최소화를 유지할 수 있도록 설계하는 것은 중요하지만, 용접선 배치의 문제는 다양한 입력 변수를 고려해야 하는 복잡한 문제이기 때문에 그간 최적화 관점에서 접근하지 못하고 시니어급 엔지니어가 가진 경험과 조선소의 지침서에 기재된 절차에 따라 대략적인 해를 결정하여 왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 복잡한 문제를 최적화 방법인 당금질(Simulated Annealing) 방법을 이용하여 해결한 결과를 소개하며, 그 결과와 효용성에 대해 논하도록 하겠다.

In this study, laboratory model pile-load test and finite element analysis were carried out to compare and analyze the strain behaviour around the model pile tip. In order to simulate the pile load, both the LCM(load control method)and DCM(displacement control method) were introduced to determine which one is appropriate for the FE simulation. In contrast to the previous simulation method, two interface elements around the model pile were used to consider the slip effect in the finite element analysis and its results were compared to the model test. Through this study it was found that the degree of non-associated flow was a dominant factor in terms of numerical solution convergence. In addition, an improved FE mesh was required to obtain the symmetric distribution of the maximum shear strain contour.

The finite element method and statistics of the convergence measurement are useful method of the stability analysis of the tunnel adjacent to the pier. It is the purpose of the this case study to certificate of validity of the application of those methods. The safety of the pilot tunnel method and LW pre-grouting has been evaluated from the FEM analysis. The three-dimensional finite element method is carried out for the decision of the level of stress redistribution at the two-dimensional numerical analysis. An analysis of the convergence is carried out by the estimation of preceding convergence at tunnel excavation. F-examination is applied for this estimation. As results of that analysis, The F-value is from 10.81 to 158.74 and the coefficient of determination is from 0.82 to 0.99. An analysis of convergence is carried out by using regression analysis. Consequently, it is shown that the convergence can be modeled as following function C(t)=a[1-exp(-bt)].
