The design method of the reinforced concrete structures is converting from the current limit state design method to the reliability based design method and active studies have been done in the US, Europe, and Japan etc. Performance based design method is considering lots of uncertainty of current design provision rationally and make sure that structure have a reliable reliability and safety. The main area of these studies is to secure the non-linear analysis technology with high reliability. The data for reinforced concrete columns tested by many researchers are used to verify the applicability of the nonlinear finite element analysis program (RCAHEST, Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology). A comparison is made between analysis and test, calculated safety factor based on reliability theories to applies to analysis result.

The finite element method has become the most widely used method of structural analysis and recently, the method has often been applied to complex dynamic and nonlinear structural analyses problems. Even for these complex problems, where the responses are hard to predict, finite element analyses yield reliable results if appropriate element types and meshes are used. However, the dynamic and nonlinear behaviors of a structure often include large deformations in various portions of the structure and if the same mesh is used throughout the analysis, some elements may deform to shapes beyond the reliable limits; thus dynamically adapting finite element meshes are needed in order for the finite element analyses to be accurate. In addition, to satisfy the users requirement of quick real run time of finite element programs, the algorithms must be computationally efficient. This paper presents an adaptive finite element mesh generation scheme for dynamic analyses of structures that may adapt at each time step. Representative strain values are used for error estimates and combinations of the h-method(node movement) and the r-method(element division) are used for mesh refinements. A coefficient that depends on the shape of an element is used to limit overly distorted elements. A simple frame example shows the accuracy and computational efficiency of the scheme. The aim of the study is to outline the adaptive scheme and to demonstrate the potential use in general finite element analyses of dynamic and nonlinear structural problems commonly encountered.

To assess the safety of nonlinear steel frame structures subjected to short duration dynamic loadings, especially seismic loading, a nonlinear time domain reliability analysis procedure is proposed in the context of the stochastic finite element concept. In the proposed algorithm, the finite element formulation is combined with concepts of the response surface method, the first order reliability method, and the iterative linear interpolation scheme. This leads to the stochastic finite element concept. Actual earthquake loading time-histories are used to excite structures, enabling a realistic representation of the loading conditions. The assumed stress-based finite element formulation is used to increase its efficiency. The algorithm also has the potential to evaluate the risk associated with any linear or nonlinear structure that can be represented by a finite element algorithm subjected to seismic loading or any short duration dynamic loading. The algorithm is explained with help of an example and verified using the Monte Carlo simulation technique.

A nonlinear sloshing problem is numerically simulated. During excessive sloshing the sloshinginduced impact load can cause a critical damage on the tank structure. A three-dimensional free-surface flow in a tank is formulated in the scope of potential flow theory. The exact nonlinear free-surface condition is satisfied numerically. A finite-element method based on Hamiltons principle is employed as a numerical scheme. The problem is treated as an initial-value problem. The computations are made through an iterative method at each time step. The hydrodynamic loading on the pillar in the tank is computed.

have been many studies to analyze the behavior of metal plate connector that most widely used to connect light frame wood trusses. Finite element method{FEM) was one of the methods for those studies. FEM using linear model may well be applicable to predict the initial slope of load-displacement curve for metal plate connection. However, displacement may be overestimated above experimental results with the increase of load. Therefore, linear model cannot be used for the nonlinear behavior part. To predict real behavior more exactly, nonlinear term was included to FEM model in this study. It was found out that EA and AA mode showed the high agreement between predicted results and experimental ones. However, EE and AE mode showed a little difference between predicted results and experimental ones in nonlinear part. This results might be caused by insufficient reflection of the slip effect. Consequently, the effect of slip shall be considered to approve the accuracy of nonlinear analysis for the behavior of metal plate connection.

자성체를 포함하는 자기 시스템을 해석하는데 있어 비선형과 히스테리시스(Hysteresis)는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 재질의 히스테리시스 특성을 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 계산하기 위해서 많은 방법들이 소개되었다. 단순 반복법이나 Fixed Point Technique(FPT), M-iteration 법. 뉴튼 랍슨 (Newton-Raphson) 법 등이 그 예이다. 이 방법들 중에서 뉴튼 랍슨법은 빠른 수렴 특성으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 뉴튼-랍슨법을 이용하여 히스테리시스 재질을 해석할 때는 매 반복 계산 때마다 계 계수행렬(System Stiffness matrix)이 변화하기 때문에 요소의 수가 매우 많을 경우 역행렬을 계산하기 위한 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 특히 히스테리시스 해석의 경우에는 주로 time-step법을 이용하여 계산하므로 가장 시간이 많이 소요되는 행렬 계산 시간을 단축함으로써 전체 계산 시간을 크게 줄일 수 있다. 최근 비선형 해석에서 TLM(Transmission Line Modeling)법이 도입되어 비선형 해석 시의 계산 시간을 크게 단축할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 해석에 적용된 TLM법을 히스테리시스 해석에 적용하는 방법을 새로 제안한다. TLM법은 뉴튼-랍슨법과 달리 각 반복 계산 때마다 계수행렬식이 변화하지 않고 단지 구동항만 변하기 때문에 행렬의 LU를 한 번 저장해 두면 forward와 backward substitution만 시행하면 된다. 따라서 요소의 수가 증가할 경우 TLM법을 사용하면 뉴튼-랍슨법에 비해 매우 큰 계산 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 TLM법을 히스테리시스에 적용하는 방법을 기술하고 간단한 모델에 이 방법을 적용하여 뉴튼-랍슨법과의 비교를 통해 TLM법의 효용성을 보인다.

In this paper, a stochastic field that is compatible with Monte Carlo simulation is suggested for an expansion-based stochastic analysis scheme of weighted integral method. Through investigation on the way of affection of stochastic field function on the displacement vector in the series expansion scheme, it is noticed that the stochastic field adopted in the weighted integral method is not compatible with that appears in the Monte Carlo simulation. As generally recognized in the field of stochastic mechanics, the response variability is not a linear function of the coefficient of variation of stochastic field but a nonlinear function with increasing variability as the intensity of uncertainty is increased. Employing the stochastic field suggested in this study, the response variability evaluated by means of the weighted integral scheme is reproduced with high precision even for uncertain fields with moderately large coefficient of variation. Besides, despite the fact that only the first-order expansion is employed, an outstanding agreement between the results of expansion-based weighted integral method and Monte Carlo simulation is achieved.
