In this paper an optimization algorithm is suggested to reduce the huge computation time in the optimum design of large structures, especially in spacecraft structures. It combines the coupled load analysis model using a constrained mode of component mode synthesis and the modal transient analysis. The computer simulation code is developed and evaluated in optimizing spacecraft platforms. The developed algorithm can alleviate the computational load with adequate accuracy. From the optimization of a spacecraft structural member, the characteristics of each structural member can be understood.

In this paper, an analytic solution method is proposed to overcome the numerical problems when the slewing dynamics of hybrid coordinate systems is investigated via time finite element analysis. It is shown that the dynamics of the hybrid coordinate systems is governed by the coupled dual differential equations for both slewing and structural modes. Structural modes are transformed into the time-based modal coordinates and analytic spatial propagation equations are derived for each space-dependent time mode. Slew angle history is obtained analytically by appropriate applications of the boundary conditions and structural propagation is re-calculated using the slew angle. Numerical examples are demonstrated to validate the proposed analytic method in comparison to the existing state transition matrix method.

To understand how low-frequency sound waves propagate axially in drilling boreholes, the propagation modes and speeds including the effect of interaction among layers are obtained by analyzing an infinitely-long, uniform, and cylindrically multi-layered waveguide which is consisted of fluid layers and solid layers. Assuming low frequency(wave length considered is very long compared to the borehole diameter), axisymmetry, non-viscosity, and etc., analytical solutions are obtained. Also, sound reflection due to the changes in the cross section is analyzed. Results for typical drilling boreholes show the usefulness of the method developed in this research, and are compared with FEM results showing good agreements.

In designing the boundary confinement of shear walls, the current design provisions and recommendations are empirical and prescriptive; they specify a certain confinement length and details, regardless of the actual requirement of ductility Therefore, they are inappropriate to the performance based-design. The purpose of the present study is to develop a ductility design method that Is applicable to the performance based-design of shear wall. For the purpose, experimental studies were performed to investigate variations in the ductility of shear walls with the length of the boundary confinement. Five specimens modeling the compressive zone of cross sections with different confinement area were tested against eccentric vertical load. Through the experimental studies, strength, ductility, and failure mode of the compression zone were investigated. In addition, nonlinear numerical analyses for the overall cross-sections of shear wall were performed to investigate variations of the stress and strain profiles with the length of compression zone. On the basis of the experimental and numerical studies, a ductility design method for shear wall was developed. By using the proposed design method, for a given ductility demand, the area of lateral confinement and corresponding reinforcement ratio can be precisely determined so that the ductile behavior and economical design are assured.

This study dealt with the free vibration of two identical rectangular plates coupled with fluid. In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-coupled rectangular plates, an analytical method based on the finite Fourier series expansion and Rayleigh-Ritz method was suggested. A commercial computer code, ANSYS was used to perform finite element analysis and we investigated the vibration characteristics with mode shapes and natural frequencies. As a result, the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out-of-phase, were observed alternately in the fluid-coupled system. The effect of fluid bounding and plate boundary condition on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. It was shown that the mode numbers increased, the normalized natural frequencies monotonically increased.

지지부에 비틀림 하중을 받는 Elstica는 비틀림 운동을 하며, 그 가진 주파수가 굽힘모드 근처일 때는 해당하는 굽힘 모드의 운동까지도 동시에 존재하게 된다. 이때 가진력의 크기가 작을때는 주기적인 운동이 된다. 가진력의 크기가 증가함에 따라 굽힘 운동은 굽힘 1차 모드와 연성된 유사주기운동이 발생하며, 이떤 범위 이상이 되면 굽힘 운동과 비틀림 운동이 결합된 진폭이 매우 크고 불규칙적인 비평면 운동(out of plane motion)이 발생하게 되며 이 때의 운동은 혼돈운동이다. Elastica가 굽힘 3차 고유진동수 근방의 주파수로 비틀림 하중을 받을 때의 정확한 이론적 해석을 위해서는 굽힘 3차모드 까지는 반영할 수 있는 식이 모델링 되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 이것은 복잡한 비평면운동을 할 때 굽힘 3차 모드까지 관찰된다는 사실에 근거한다.

Marine structures are often in contact with inner or outer fluid as stern, ballast and oil tanks. The effect of interaction between fluid and structure has to be taken into consideration when we estimate the dynamic response of the structure appropriately. Fatigue damages can also be sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance. Thin walled tank structures in ships which are in contact with water and located near engine or propeller where vibration characteristics are strongly affected by the added mass of containing water. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration characteristics of tank structures. But it is difficult to estimate exactly the magnitude of the added mass because this is a fluid-structure interaction problem and is affected by the free surface, vibration modes of structural panels and the depth of water. I have developed a numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structure using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for fluid region. In the present study, the effect of added mass of containing water, the effect of structural constraint between panels on the vibration characteristics are investigated numerically and discussed. Especially a natural frequencies by the fluid interaction between 2 panels and a breath mode of the water tank are focused on.

A study result of buckling reliability is presented for the axially compressed imperfect elastic cylinder. Multi-mode analysis program is developed from Karman-Donnell Equation for the calculation of the buckling load of the cylindrical she1l. Geometric intial imperfection is approximated by double Fourier series of which coefficients are assumed random variables with jointly normal distribution characteristics. Crude Monte Carlo simulation technique is used to calculate the probabilistic failure properties of several cases with various imperfection Conditions.

A modeling method for the vibration analysis of rotating multi-blade systems considering the coupling stiffness effect is presented in this paper. Blades are assumed as cantilever beams and the coupling stiffness effect originates from disc or shroud between blades. As the angular speed, hub radius ratio, and the coupling stiffness vary, the natural frequencies of the system vary. Numerical results show that the coupling stiffness is very important to estimate the natural frequencies. Along with the natural frequencies, associated mode shapes, critical angular speed, and critical hub radius ratio are obtained through the analysis.
