The performance evaluation of reinforcement concrete structure is carried out as a function of the following performance influencing factors: (1) the strength of concrete, (2) longitudinal reinforcement, (3) transverse reinforcement, (4) aspect ratio, and (5) axial force. With various values of the five parameters, eigenvalue analysis and non-linear static analysis were performed to investigate the structural yield displacement, yield basis shear force, and static performance of ductility ratio. In addition, the performance evaluation is carried out according to the modified capacity spectrum method (FEMA-440) using the results of non-linear static analysis, and the effect of each parameter on performance point is analyzed. Based on the result of eigenvalue analysis and non-linear static analysis indicates, that the natural period and the ductility ratio are affected more by the structural properties than the material properties. In case of the analysis of the criterion of performance points, the effect of section shape is one of the important factors together with natural period and ductility ratio.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of trunk pattern training in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF) and weight-shift training on the muscle activity and static balance in patients with hemiplegia due to stroke. Twenty patients with hemiplegia due to stroke were assigned to the trunk pattern training in PNF group(n=10) or weight-shift training group(n=10). Both groups were executed conventional treatment for 5 times per week for 6 weeks 30 minutes per session. Each group performed additional training for 20 minutes. Post training, compared to the weight-shift training group, trunk pattern training in PNF group showed significantly increased on muscle activity of rectus femoris, gastrocnemius and static balance(p<.05). These results support the perceived benefits of trunk pattern training in PNF to augment on the static balance and muscle activity of stroke patients. Therefore, trunk pattern training in PNF is feasible and suitable for stroke patients.

In a practical engineering, the equivalent static analysis (E.S.A) and the response spectrum analysis (R.S.A) are generally used for the seismic analysis. The base shears obtained from the E.S.A are invariable no matter how the principal axes of building structures are specified on an analysis program while those from the R.S.A are variable. Accordingly, the designed member size may be changed by how an engineer specify the principal axes of a structure when the R.S.A is used. Moreover, the base shears in the normal direction to the excitation axis are sometimes produced even when an engineer performs a response spectrum analysis in only one direction. This tendency makes the base shear, which is used to calculate the scale-up factor, relatively small. Therefore the scale-up factor becomes larger and it results in uneconomical member sizes. To overcome these disadvantages of the R.S.A, an alternative has been proposed in this study. Three types of example structures were adapted in this study, i.e. bi-direction symmetric structure, one-direction antisymmetric structure and bi-direction antisymmetric structure. The seismic analyses were performed by rotating the principal axes of the example structures with respect to the global coordinate system. The design member forces calculated with the scale-up factor used in the practice were compared with those obtained by using the scale-up factor proposed in this study. It can be seen from this study that the proposed method for the scale-up factor can provide reliable and economical results regardless of the orientation of the principal axes of the structures.

In current practice of earthquake resistant design the equivalent lateral force procedure is widely used because of its simplicity and convenience. But the equivalent lateral force procedure is derived based on the assumptions that the dynamic behavior of the structure is governed primarily by the fundamental vibration mode and the effect of higher modes is included in an approximate manner. Therefore the prediction of dynamic responses of structures using the equivalent lateral force procedure is not reliable when the effect of higher vibration modes on the dynamic behavior is significant. In this study, design seismic load which can reflect the effect of higher vibration modes is proposed from the point of view of proper assessment of story shears which have the major influence on the design moment of beams and columns. To evaluate the effect of higher modes, differences between the story force based on the equivalent lateral force procedure specified in current earthquake resistance building code and the one based on modal analysis using design spectrum analysis are examined. From these results an improved design seismic load for the equivalent lateral force procedure which can reflect the effect of higher vibration modes are proposed.

This paper proposes learning performance improvement of support vector machine using the kernel relaxation and the dynamic momentum. The dynamic momentum is reflected to different momentum according to current state. While static momentum is equally influenced on the whole, the proposed dynamic momentum algorithm can control to the convergence rate and performance according to the change of the dynamic momentum by training. The proposed algorithm has been applied to the kernel relaxation as the new sequential learning method of support vector machine presented recently. The proposed algorithm has been applied to the SONAR data which is used to the standard classification problems for evaluating neural network. The simulation results of proposed algorithm have better the convergence rate and performance than those using kernel relaxation and static momentum, respectively.

This paper investigates the effect of 3-dimensional FE models to evaluation results of jointed concrete pavements which is back-calculated by AREA method. Sensitivity of 3-dimensional FE models developed to simulate the behavior of real jointed concrete pavement are analyzed after compared with 2-dimensional FE models using ILLISLAB. In comparison with 2-dimensional models, influence of concrete contraction under loading plate and base layer on surface deflections is more than that of loading configuration. Deflections at 3-dimensional model between linear and nonlinear temperature distribution under same temperature difference are similar, but noticeable differences are investigated in low elastic modulus of foundations. Dynamic deflections under loading plate are larger than static deflections in high elastic modulus of foundation, but smaller in low elastic modulus. Lower dynamic modulus of subgrade reactions are backcalculated by dynamic deflections than by static deflections. But reverse trend is investigated in the backcalculated elastic modulus of concrete which describes trends of the field backcalculation values calculated from AREA method.

This paper studies static crack growth of asphalt pavement using the extended finite element method (XFEM). To consider nonlinear characteristics of asphalt concrete, a viscoelastic constitutive equation using the Maxwell chain is used. And a linear cohesive crack model is used to regularize the crack. Instead of constructing the viscoelastic constitutive law from the Prony approximation of compliance and retardation time measured experimentally, we use a smooth log-power function which optimally fits experimental data and is infinitely differentiable. The partial moduli of the Maxwell chain from the log-power function make analysis easy because they change more smoothly in a more stable way than the ordinary method such as the least square method. Using the developed method, we can simulates the static crack growth test results satisfactorily.

반도체 및 디스플레이 산업에 사용되는 진공펌프의 효율이 증대됨에 따른 성능 평가 기술의 향상 과 미세 유량을 조절 및 측정할 수 있는 시스템의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 유량 시스템 중 소닉노즐은 기체 유량 측정 표준기로 사용되고 있다. 또한 유량 측정에 있어서 사용상의 편리성, 이동성, 재현성 등 여러 가지의 장점을 가지고 있어 산업 현장에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 소닉노즐을 넓은 유량 범위에서 사용할 수 있도록 소닉노즐의 유출계수 교정을 목적으로 한다. ISO 9300에서 제시한 사양에 맞추어 목 직경 0.03 mm와 0.2 mm 그리고 1.6 mm의 소닉노즐을 제작하였다. 한국표준과학연구원에서 진공용 유량측정 장치로 개발된 정적형 유량계를 이용하여 제작된 3 종의 소닉노즐 유출계수를 확장불확도 3% 이내로 교정하였다. 교정된 소닉노즐의 유량 측정범위는 약 0.6~90, 000 cc/min 범위를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 사용유동 조건에 해당되는 레이놀드 수(Reynolds number) 범위는 26~75, 700 으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 교정된 소닉노즐을 이용하여 진공공정에서 필요한 극 미세 유량의 정밀측정을 가능하게한 새로운 연구결과로 판단된다. 교정된 소닉노즐을 이용하여 진공펌프의 배기속도 측정결과는 기 구축된 정적법을 이용한 배기속도 측정결과와 3% 이내의 오차범위내로 매우 잘 일치함을 보였다. 교정된 소닉노즐은 향후 반도체 및 디스플레이 공정에 사용되는 다양한 진공펌프들의 배기속도를 현장에서 간단하게 평가할 수 있는 '현장 성능평가 장치'에 활용할 예정이며, 현재 공정현장에서 배기속도 측정에 널리 사용 중인 MFC를 대체할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

To detect and evaluate the damage present in bridge, static identification method is known to be simple and effective, compared to dynamic method. In this study, the damage detection method in steel box girder bridge using static responses including displacement, slope and curvature is examined. The static displacement is calculated using finite element analysis and the slope and curvature are determined from the displacement using central difference method. The location of damage is detected using the absolute differences of these responses in intact and damaged bridge. Steel box girder bridge with corner crack is modeled using singular element in finite element method. The results show that these responses were significantly useful in detecting and predicting the location of damage present in bridge.

An object oriented programming(OOP) framework is presented to solve plane elastostatic contact problems by means of the boundary element method(BEM). Unified modeling language(UML) is chosen to describe the structure of the program without loss of generality, even though all implemented codes are written with C++. The implementation is based on computational abstractions of both mathematical and physical concepts associated with contact mechanics involving geometrical nonlinearities and the corner node problems for multi-valued traction. The overall class organization for contact analysis is discussed in detail. Numerical examples are also presented to verify the accuracy of the developed BEM program.
