This study presents an effective stiffness-based optimal technique to control quantitatively lateral drift and evaluate the structural behavior characteristics and efficiency for tall outrigger system subject to lateral loads. To this end, displacement sensitivity depending on behavior characteristics of outrigger system is established and approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems is introduced. Specifically, under the 'constant-shape' assumption, resizing technique of member is developed. Four types of 50 story frameworks are presented to illustrate the features of the quantitative lateral drift control technique proposed in this study.

Many experimental data of fatigue crack propagation show that the fatigue crack propagation process is stochastic. Therefore, the study on the crack propagation must be based on the probabilistic approach. In the present paper, fatigue crack propagation process is assumed to be a discrete Markov process and the method is developed, which can evaluate the reliability of the structural component by using Markov chain model(Unit step B-model) suggested by Bogdanoff. In this method, leak failure, plastic collapse and brittle fracture of the critical component are taken as failure modes, and the effects of initial crack distribution, periodic and non-periodic inspection on the probability of failure are considered. In this method, an equivalent load value for random loading such as wave load is used to facilitate the analysis. Finally some calculations are carried out in order to show the usefulness and the applicability of this method. And then some remarks on this method are mentioned.

일반 해양 구조물이나 해저면에 설치되는 해저 관로는 외력에 의한 변형이 발생된다. 구조물 형상이 복잡하거나, 구성 요소의 개수가 많을 경우 응력해석 시 많은 초기값이 필요하고 해석 시간 또는 장 시간 소요된다. 해양 구조물에 작용하는 대표적인 외력은 파도, 조류, 바람이고 이런 외력은 구조물의 사용 기간(operation life)동안 계속적으로 작용하기 때문에 구조물의 변형율은 항상 허용치 안에서 발생되도록 설계되어야 한다. 허용 변형은 탄성범위 내에 존재해야 하며, 비교적 큰 변형을 일으키는 구조물이나 해저파이프라인의 응력해석을 수치적으로 접근하는 방법을 고찰하였다. 평행상태의 하중 벡터값만 직각 좌표계에서 인트린직(intrinsic) 좌료로 변환시킬 때 변형이 발생함으로, 본 논문에서 소개하는 이차 요소(quadratic element)방법을 사용할 경우 수치해석 시 많은 장점이 있다는 것을 보여준다. 본 방법을 도입함으로써 비교적 큰 변형이 발생되는 구조물 해석 시 일반 수치해석 방법과 그 결과는 같으나 해석 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 응력 해석 시 국부 강도 행열(element stiffness matrix)은 방향과 무관하며 이차요소 방법을 사용하여 각 요소 벡터를 발생시켰다. 해저관로 일점 상승 시 관로에 작용하는 변형과 상승력에 따른 휨 모멘트를 산출하여 일반적으로 사용되는 선형이론과 비교하였다.

Recently, buckling is easy to happen as that High tensile steel that is the thin plate absence is used comprehensively for the structure. Specially, buckling is getting into important design standard in hull construction which use High tensile steel. Therefore, that grasp conduct exactly after buckling is important in stability of hull structure. In this study, examined closely about conduct and secondary buckling after initial buckling of thin plate structure which receive compressive load according to various kinds yield strength under simply supported condition that make by buckling strength formula standard in each payment in advance rule to place that is representative construction of hull in this research. Analysis method is F.E.M by ANSYS and complicated nonlinear behaviour to analyze such as secondary buckling in used arc-length method.

Buckling and vibration of laminated non-circular cylindrical shells with constant thickness and simply supported boundary condition is considered. Governing equations are derived based on the Donnell and Flugge shell theory and Galerkin method is applied for the numerical analysis. Comparisons are made between present results and others. Variations of frequency parameter and buckling load parameter on the change of stacking angle, eccentricity parameter and shell theories are investigated. Conclusion of this study is as follows: (1) General solutions of buckling and vibration of laminated non-circular cylindrical shell are obtained. (2) Frequency parameter is decreased as the initial axial load is increased. (3) In general, frequency and buckling load parameter of laminated non-circular cylindrical shells are decreased as increasing of eccentricity parameter and stacking angle.

The laminated elastomeric bearing and the lead-rubber bearing were designed to isolate one bay-two story steel frame which is designed for only gravity load. The seismic performance is evaluated for the designed steel frame before and after application of these seismic isolators between the super structure and the foundation. These isolators can improve the seismic capacity of the steel frame. Especially, by inserting the lead plug into the center of the laminated elastomeric bearing, the initial stiffness of th bearing can be increased, thus rather large lateral displacement can be prevented under the frequent service lateral load. During the strong earthquake, yielding of the lead can increase the capacity of the energy dissipation.

This paper presents the quasi-static mooring analysis model for a vessel moored at the quay. The results of this analysis will aid the designer in determining the mooring configuration for the surface vessels subjected to wind, current and wave forces. And it will also help him in selecting the equipment for the fixed mooring system. The cumulative elastic behavior of the mooring lines invokes a complicated nonlinear problem since the mooring lines are relatively short and hang in air as noncoplanar configurations. This nonlinear mooring problem is solved in this paper by the load increment technique in which the external load is increased step by step taking all sources of nonlinearity into account.

In this study, an optimization method to design the hull structure of the surface effect ships with twin hulls is proposed for the purpose of minimization of weight based on the regulations of DnV class, and computer programs following the method are developed. The method uses simple formulas as to bending and buckling strength of beams and plates to design local structures, and considers the effect of interaction between longitudinal girders and transverse web frames by grillage analysis and calculates torsional strength of the cross structure by the simplified method. Global optimization of the midship section is attained by integration of optimized substructures. According to optimized results by applying the method to the designed ship, reduction of 20 percent of hull weight can be shown, and optimum transverse frame space can be obtained.

Strut insulator in a vehicle is an important part to prevent noise and vibration which is created for driving on the road. Most of the viscoelastic-mounts are made of rubber and natural rubber is the key ingredient. These rubber products show well performance for the initial time, but they will degrade after they are exposed to a high temperature circumstance and a cyclic load. NVH performance and comfort in a vehicle were decreased by these degradation of the rubber. In this study, spring displacement in a vehicle was measured to make a profile in the simulation test performed with an acceleration sensor. In addition, acceleration level, rubber permanent deformation and hardness of the rubber were measured according to drive distance and vehicle model.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the wear volumes of engine journal bearings operating at variable angular velocity of a shaft in the beginning of firing start-up cycle. To do this, first we find the potential region of wear scar on engine journal bearings where the applied bearing load and crank shaft velocity are variable. The potential wear regions are discovered by finding minimum oil film thickness at every crank angle existing below most oil film thickness scaring wear (MOFTSW) obtained based on the concept of the centerline average surface roughness. Then we calculate the wear volume from the wear depth and two wear angles decided by the magnitude of each film thickness lower than MOFTSW at every crank angle. The results show that the expected wear region is located at a few bearing angles after and/or behind the upper center of a big-end bearing and the lower center of a main bearing. And the real wear region is similar to the estimated wear region. Further we find that the wear scar on an engine journal bearing may occur at re-starting time after switch-off of a start motor especially under the condition of high oil temperature.
