Nonlinear behavior and large deformation cannot be analyzed using techniques based on linear theory. Nonetheless, they are emerging as gradually huge and complex structures. In addition, the optimum design of structure is necessary in the development of high-performance computation and numerical methods. as well as stricter design-criterion. Therefore, the structural problems in engineering that are limited to the linear region must be extended to the nonlinear region. Likewise, structural behavior must be accurately analyzed. In turn, this requires considering the expected problems beforehand. Only then can an efficient, economical, and optimized structure be designed. This paper presents the solution of the geometrical nonlinear problem of anisotropic cylindrical shell. The characteristics of the geometrical nonlinear behavior of anisotropic circular cylindrical shells may vary according to several causes. e.g., change of fibers, curvature in the circumferential direction, subtended angle, aspect, etc. Parametric studies were conducted to determine the effect of factors on the large deflection behavior of laminated shells, with interesting observations.

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.

Engineers must be aware of possible sources of chaotic behavior. They may render conventional design predictions untrustworthy and potentially unsafe because of the sensitivity to initial conditions. Dynamic responses of a spherical shell subjected to impulsive loading which act on the center are analyzed using the finite element method. The chaotic responses are identified by the standard methods, such as displacement-time histories, Poincare maps, and phase diagrams. The responses are chaotic, but, not so sensitive to the initial conditions, and the characteristics of responses are not changed with time, in contrast to the case of the responses of beam. The Poincare points scattered in the limited area represent that the responses are chaotic, but do not show the geometric structures. The snap-through phenomena of the shell to the side of the direction of the load or of the opposite direction, is analysed by using the energy diagram.

이 글에서는 거시적 모델을 사용하여 전단벽체를 수치모델하는 방법에는 여러가지의 방법이 있으며 각기 그 모델들에는 장점과 단점을 지니고 있음을 보았다. 거시적 모델로 구조물을 해석하는 경우에는 전단벽체의 모델과 그에 맞는 반복이력모델의 선정에 주의하여야 한다. 이는 전단벽체의 파괴양상과 비선형거동 등의 복잡한 거동을 한개의 모델을 가지고 일률적으로 적용하지 못한다는 거시적 모델의 한계점 때문이다. 그러나 아직까지 계산기의 발전과 미시적 모델의 한계점을 고려한다면 구조물 비선형해석시 최선의 선택은 미시적 방법보다는 거시적 방법이라하겠다. 거시적 모델을 사용하여 구조물의 3차원 해석 프로그램을 개발한 예를 보았듯이, 3차원 비선형거동까지 고려한다면 거시적방법이 적당하리라고 판단된다.

비보강 조적조는 비균일재료로 이루어진 합성재료에 가까우므로 그거동이 하중종류와 구조물의 손상정도에 따라서 매우 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 작은 지진부터 큰 지진까지 수차례의 모의 지진을 받는 구조물의 손상거동을 살펴보기 위한 방법으로, 시간영역 자료를 여러구간으로 나누어서 주파수가 어떻게 변화해 가는지 살펴보았다. 또한 주파수와 강도와의 관계식을 이용하여 단자유도계의 이선형모델도 유도하였다. 하중이 커짐에 따라서 이선형 모델의 강성은 계속적으로 저하됨을 알 수 있다. 실제로 실험결과는 누적된 손상을 받는 구조물의 거동이므로, 조적조의 수치해석적 모델의 개발시 이러한 누적된 손상효과를 합리적으로 처래해야 되는 문제점이 있다.

The analysis of dynamic responses are carried out on several orthotropic systems due to transient line source. These include infinite and semi-infinite spaces. The media possess orthotropic or higher symmetry. The lode is in the form of a normal stress acting with parallel to symmetry axis on the plane of symmetry within the materials. The results are first derived for responses of infinite media due to a harmonic line source. Subsequently the results for semi-infinite are derived by using superposition of the solution in the infinite medium together with a scattered solution from the boundaries. The sum of both solutions has to satisfy stress free boundary conditions thereby leading to the complete solutions. Explicit splutions for the displacements due to transient line loads are then obtaind by using Cargniard-DeHoop contour.

Thermopiezoelastic snap-through phenomena of piezolaminated plates are investigated by applying an are-length scheme to Newton-Raphson method. Based on the layerwise displacement theory and von Karman strain-displacement relationships, nonlinear finite element formulations are derived for the thermopiezoelastic composite plates. From the static and dynamic viewpoint, nonlinear thermopierzoelastic behavior and vibration characteristicx are stuied for symmetric and eccentric structural models with various piezoelestric actuation modes. Present results show the possibility to enhance the performance, namely thermopiezoelastic snapping, induced by the excessive piezoelectric actuation in the active suppression of thermally buckled large deflection piezolaminated paltes.

It is very important that predict the inelastic seismic behavior exactly for seismic performance evaluation of a building in the performance based seismic design. But, it is difficulty that predict the building behavior of actual and exact in simplified load-deformation relation of structural material and members. In this study, system ductility and story ductility capacity of building structure used to the Backbone hinge Model are estimated and compared considering the characteristics of load-deformation relation of structural material and members. Analyses results, bilinear hinge model has lower system ductility and story ductility demands than those of backbone hinge model.

The important elements in pavement design criteria are the stress and strain distributions. To obtain reasonable stress and strain distribution, tire contact area and tire pressures are very important. In this study, finite element analysis was used to identify the three-dimension states using nonlinear tire contact pressure and measured tire contact area. Measured tire contact area was quite different from the assumed tire contact area, and it resulted in different strain states under the tire. At the surface course, considering tire rib and nonlinear tire pressure, the pavement response presented accurate data compared to the predicted one. However, at the binder course, tire effects were generally negligible and it showed that the predicted pavement response was different compared to the measured one.

This paper presents the development of transfer function accounting for cross-anisotropic behavior of aggregate base material for the pavement thickness design. The stress distributions predicted by nonlinear cross-anisotropic finite element program were realistic by eliminating excessive tensile stress at the bottom of the base layer and the critical pavement responses predicted by nonlinear cross-anisotropic model are higher than those predicted by linear or nonlinear isotropic models (Kim, 2004, Kim et at., 2005). Since the previously developed transfer functions such as Asphalt Institute and Chevron models, etc. were based on the critical responses obtained from linear isotropic model, those equations are not appropriate for the thickness design nonlinear cross-anisotropic base behavior. Therefore, the development of usable transfer functions for nonlinear cross-anisotropic model is ever more important. When the newly developed transfer functions were compared with AASHTO method for the thickness design, the newly developed transfer functions produce approximately 25mm reduced UAB thickness in AASHTO thickness design and this illustrates that linear isotropic model results in more conservative pavement design.
