In this paper, a statistical calibration method is proposed in order to identify the variability of complex modulus for a rubber material due to operational temperature and experimental/model errors. To describe temperature- and frequency-dependent material properties, a fractional derivative model and a shift factor relationship are used. A likelihood function is defined as a product of the probability density functions where experimental values lie on the model. The variation of the fractional derivative model parameters is obtained by maximizing the likelihood function. Using the proposed method, the variability of a synthetic rubber material is estimated and applied to a rubber mount problem. The dynamic characteristics of the rubber mount are calculated using a finite element model of which material properties are sampled from Monte Carlo simulation. The calculated dynamic stiffnesses show very large variation.

Slope stability analysis is a geotechnical engineering problem characterized by many sources of uncertainty. Some of them are connected to the variability of soil properties involved in the analysis. In this paper, a numerical procedure of probabilistic analysis of slope stability is presented based on Spencer's method of slices. The deterministic analysis is extended to a probabilistic approach that accounts fur the uncertainties and spatial variation of the soil parameters. The procedure is based on the first-order reliability method to compute the Hasofer-Lind reliability index and Monte-Carlo Simulation. A probabilistic stability assessment was performed to obtain the variation of failure probability with the variation of soil parameters in homogeneous and layered slopes as an example. The examples give insight into the application of uncertainty treatment to the slope stability and show the impact of the spatial variability of soil properties on the outcome of a probabilistic assessment.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the application of Land Surface Model (LSM) and global spatial and weather data. After selecting the appropriate LSM, we evaluated the calculation ability of the model for dam basins. Based on the global meteorological and topography data, the accuracy of runoff results were analysed to assess the uncertainty of global data. Period analysis was performed to suggest the global data utilization. The model results by using local data are within the acceptable range reflecting the local complex meteorological and topographical characteristics. Although the accuracy of the simulated results from global data is not good by the uncertainty of meteorological data, it indicated that the accuracy can be improved with increasing duration of runoff analysis over 10 days.

많은 동적해석 설계자들이 재료물성치의 불확실성, 연결강성 그리고 경계조건등의 해석상에서 나타날 수 있는 불확실성 때문에 모달 테스트에 많은 관심을 가지고 있었으며 또한 수행해 왔다. 그러나 대형구조물의 경우 저주파수 대역에서의 가진력 크기, 가진력 계측 문제등으로 동특성 실험을 위한 모달 테스트를 수행하기가 쉽지 않은 실정이다. (중략)

A MCS technique is represented to stochastically analyze the uncertainties of wave forces exerted on the upright sections of composite breakwaters. A stochastical models for horizontal and uplift wave forces can be straightforwardly formulated as a function of the probabilistic characteristics of maximum wave height. Under the assumption of wave forces followed by extreme distribution, the behaviors of relative wave forces to Goda's wave forces are studied by the MCS technique. Double-truncated normal distribution is applied to take the effects of uncertainties of scale and shape parameters of extreme distribution into account properly. Averages and variances of relative wave forces are quantitatively calculated with respect to the exceedance probabilities of maximum design wave height. It is found that the averages of relative wave forces may be decreased consistently with the increases of the exceedance probabilities. In particular, the averages on uplift wave force are evaluated slightly larger than those on horizontal wave force, but the variations of coefficient of the former are adversely smaller than those of the latter. It means that the uncertainties of uplift wave forces are smaller than those of horizontal wave forces in the same condition of the exceedance probabilities. Therefore, the present results could be useful to the reliability based-design method that require the statistical properties about the uncertainties of wave forces.

일반적으로 홍수빈도해석을 위한 관측홍수량 자료를 구축하기 위해 수위관측지점별 연속된 수위자료와 개발된 수위-유량관계를 이용한다. 수위자료를 유량자료로 환산하기 위해 해당년도에 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선이 있을 경우에는 각 해당년도 수위-유량관계곡선을 적용하며, 없을 경우에는 해당년도 이전에 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선을 적용하는 것이 일반적이다. 환산된 유량자료를 이용하여 홍수빈도해석을 수행할 경우, 기존 연구들은 최대홍수위까지의 외삽으로 인한 불확실성에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 그러나, 국내의 경우 수위관측지점별로 수위-유량관계곡선이 매년 꾸준히 개발되어 여러 수위-유량관계곡선이 존재한다. 실제 동일수위에서 2배 이상의 유량차이를 보이기도 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 한강유역을 대상으로 수위관측지점별로 매년 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선, 가장 최근 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선을 각각 적용한 두가지 홍수량 자료계열을 구축하여 지역홍수빈도해석을 수행하여 분위수와 평균홍수량에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

In this work, the behavior of vibratory hub loads induced due to the uncertainties of composite material properties for each of the participating rotor blades is investigated. The random material properties of composites available from the existing experimental data are processed by using the Monte-Carlo simulation technique to obtain the stochastic distribution of sectional stiffnesses of composite blades. The coefficients of variation (standard deviation divided by the mean) obtained from the sectional stiffness constants are used as an input to the comprehensive aeroelastic analysis code that can evaluate the hub loads of a rotor system. It is found that the uncertainty effects of composite material properties inevitably bring a dissimilarity to the rotor system. The influence of hub vibration response with respect to the individual stiffness (flatwise bending, chordwise bending and torsion) changes is also identified.

To evaluate the reliability against fatigue failure of offshore structures, a fatigue reliability analysis model based on the probabilistic approach has been developed. In this model, the simplified method is adopted as a fatigue analysis method. The uncertainties included in the fatigue analysis are considered as random variables and their statistical properties are evaluated as quantitatively as possible using existing data. As an example, the developed fatigue reliability model is applied to the jacket. And then the relative significance of each uncertainty on the probability of fatigue failure is surveyed.

일반적으로 부식된 부재의 두께를 측정하는 데는 많은 불확실성이 존재하며, 부식의 진행정도에 따라 부재의 부식 두께는 측정 위치마다 다르므로, 기존의 신뢰성 해석 방법을 사용하여 모든 불확실성을 고려한 정량적인 안전도를 평가하는 것은 실질적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 불확실 신뢰도 기법을 적용한 안전도 분석 절차를 제안하였으며, 효율성과 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 국내 공용중인 사장교에 적용하였다. 심하게 부식된 부재의 잔존 두께의 불확실성은 부식이 진행되는 정도에 따라 증가하므로 부재의 부식 두께를 불확실 정도로 표현되는 불확실 구간으로 표현하였으며, 기존의 신뢰성 기법과 불확실 신뢰도 기법의 비교를 수행하였다. 이러한 불확실 신뢰도 기법은 주관적이거나 조건부 독립에 대한 통계적 판단을 이용하여, 부식된 구조물의 안전도 평가나 위험도 평가를 하는 경우에 유용하여 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
