In this paper, a simple but effective analysis procedure to estimate seismic capacities of multi-span continuous bridge structures is proposed on the basis of modal pushover analysis considering all the dynamic modes of structure. Unlike previous studies, the proposed method eliminates the coupling effects induced from the direct application of modal decomposition by introducing an identical stiffness ratio and an approximate elastic deformed shape. Moreover, in addition to these two introductions, the use of an appropriate distributed load {P} makes it possible to predict the dynamic responses for all kinds of bridge structures through a simpler analysis procedure. Finally, in order to establish the validity and applicability of the proposed method, correlation studies between rigorous nonlinear time history analysis and the proposed method are conducted for multi-span continuous bridges.

The main objective of this research is to present the behaviors of precast concrete slab under moving wheel loads. The simulated moving wheel tester and precast concrete slab were designed for this research. In particular, a comparative analysis between the structural analysis and the moving wheel load test was evaluated in connection parts, deformation, bedding layer of concrete slab panels. In the comparisons of the test results from static and moving wheel loads, the maximum deformations were similar. It should be noted that the deformation of panel 2 from the static loading test was larger than that of other panels, while the deformations of panels 1 and 3 were more noticeable than that of panel 2.

In the present study, quasi-static tests and impact tests were performed for investigating the mechanical behaviour of EPP (Expanded polypropylene) and EPS (Expanded polystyrene). Four different density cylindrical type specimens were prepared for EPP and EPS and 0.001 $s^{-1}$ and 0.1 $s^{-1}$ of strain rate conditions for quasi-static tests and 100 J, 200 J and 300 J of incident energy conditions for the instrumented impact tests were considered.

In this paper, a simple improved 8-node finite element for the finite element analysis of fibrous composite plates is presented by using the direct modification. We drive explicit expressions of shape functions for the 8-node element with bilinear element geometry, which is modified so that it can represent any quadratic fields in Cartesian coordinates. The refined first-order shear deformation theory is proposed, which results in parabolic through-thickness distribution of the transverse shear strains and stresses from the formulation based on the third-order shear deformation theory. It eliminates the need for shear correction factors in the first-order theory. This finite element is further improved by combined use of assumed strain, modified shape function, and refined first-order theory. To show the effectiveness of our simple modification on the 8-node finite elements, numerical studies are carried out the static, buckling and free vibration analysis of fibrous composite plates.

Recently there are growing interests in calculating aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft configurations with structural deformation using the FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction) system in which CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) and CSD(Computational Structure Dynamics) modules are coupled. In this paper the FSI system comprised of CAD, CFD, CSD, VSI(Volume Spline Interpolation) and grid deformation modules was constructed in order to investigate aerodynamic characteristics of the deformed shape. In the process VSI and grid generation modules are developed to combine CSD and CFD routines and to regenerate the aerodynamic grids for the deformed shape, respectively. For the CFD and CSD analysis, commercial programs FLUENT and NASTRAN were used. As a test model, DLR-F4 wing configuration was chosen and its aerodynamic characteristics were calculated by applying the static FSI system. It was shown that lift and drag coefficients of the wing at mach number 0.75 are reduced to 20.26% and 18.5%, respectively, owing to the structural deformation.

Sensitivity analysis scheme is developed in the elasto-plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with the time integration, constitutive relation, shell element with reduced integration and the contact scheme. Sensitivity analysis results are mainly examined with the highly nonlinear and quasi-static problem with the complicated contact condition. The result shows stable sensitivity especially in the sheet metal forming analysis.

실시간 렌더링에서 Fur는 모피등과 같이 매우 복잡한 표면을 표현하는 문제로 가상세계의 사실감을 높이는데 매우 중요한 요소이다. 복잡한 Fur의 실시간 렌더링을 위하여 다수의 방법이 제안되어 왔으나, Fur를 사실처럼 보여지게 하는 측면에서, 기존의 정적인 표현으로서는 한계점이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 중력 및 외력에 의한 시뮬레이션을 통한 Fur의 실시간 Animation 방법을 제안한다. 기본 구조는 모피의 볼륨을 구성하는 n개의 Shell과 Shell의 표현을 보강하는 Fin의 구조로 이루어져 있고, Shell과 Fin의 공유 Vertex 배열을 통해 이 두 가지 구조를 하나로 통합한다. 이 공유 Vertex 배열에 본 논문에서 제안하는 중력 및 외력에 의한 시뮬레이션을 적용하여 공유 Vertex 배열을 변형시킨다. 이 후 변형된 공유 Vertex배열을 기반으로 Rendering을 수행하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 사용하여, 정적인 Fur Rendering이 아닌 동적으로 움직이는 Fur Rendering을 사용 함 으로써 좀 더 높은 현실감을 느낄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Among common test methods of assessing structure safety for existing lightweight walls, the criteria of the quality assessment of the horizontal static load resistance has been considered ambiguous. In the current study, therefore, an experiment was conducted to figure out the standardized assessment criteria of the lightweight wall's horizontal static load resistance. Based on the findings of the experiment with gypsum board and ALC block walls, an acceptable amount of each standard and the variables of the stud wall arising from the appropriate load (1000N) on the wall in a daily life were accounted for, arbitrarily setting the maximum deformation amount below 15mm.

Dynamic measurements are used rather sparingly to determine the elastic modull of rock cores and modulus values are not much utilized in design practice. The reason seems to result from the general perception that values obtained by dynamic measurement are much higher (about 10 times) than those determined statically. This paper presents results from dynamic and static tests on rock cores. The findings are: 1) elastic modull can be consistently determined by laboratory seismic testing. 2) nonlinear deformation characteristics of rock cores was tentatively proposed with variation in elastic modulus with strain.

본 논문에서는 기존의 선형정적해석 절차를 변형하여 부재의 이력모델 응용을 통해 부재 파괴여부에 따라 힌지처리 및 재해석의 반복과정을 자동으로 수행하는 새로운 연쇄붕괴 프로그램을 제안하였다. 6m 4경간의 철근콘크리트 골조에 철골 가새를 보강 설치한 예제구조물에 대하여 최하층 기둥부재를 제거한 후 기존 해석법과 제안 해석법을 통해 선형정적해석을 수행하였고, 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 두 절차 간 부재단위의 파괴여부 및 구조물 힌지 분포 경향의 동일함을 보여 해석의 신뢰성을 확보하였으며. 기존 해석법에 비해 수행단계의 시간이 매우 짧고 자동 반복해석으로 인한 오류의 가능성도 최소화 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
