Previous research on the slope failure has mainly reported that most of the slope failures occur due to surface rainfall infiltration in the rainy season. A slope of which surface is protected by shotcrete or plants, can also fail due to increase in pore water pressure from the ground water flow beneath the surface, rather than from the surface. In this study such case of slope behavior is investigated using the model test and numerical method including strength reduction method. Hydraulic boundary conditions of the slopes is considered using coupled numerical scheme. The failure mechanism of the slope is investigated and the effect of pore water pressure on slope safety is identified. Increase in pore water pressure due to lateral infiltration has significantly reduced the stability of slope.

Three methods for design sensitivity such as numerical differentiation, analytical method and semi-analytical method have been developed for the last three decades. Although analytical design sensitivity analysis is exact, it is hard to implement for practical design problems. Therefore, numerical method such as finite difference method is widely used to simply obtain the design sensitivity in most cases. The numerical differentiation is sufficiently accurate and reliable for most linear problems. However, it turns out that the numerical differentiation is inefficient and inaccurate because its computational cost depends on the number of design variables and large numerical errors can be included especially in nonlinear design sensitivity analysis. Thus semi-analytical method is more suitable for complicated design problems. Moreover semi-analytical method is easy to be performed in design procedure, which can be coupled with an analysis solver such as commercial finite element package. In this paper, implementation procedure for the semi-analytical design sensitivity analysis outside of the commercial finite element package is studied and computational technique is proposed, which evaluates the pseudo-load for design sensitivity analysis easily by using the design variation of corresponding internal nodal forces. Errors in semi-analytical design sensitivity analysis are examined and numerical examples are illustrated to confirm the reduction of numerical error considerably.

초심해역 자원개발용 라이저와 계류된 부유체와의 연성해석을 수행한다. 일반적으로 라이저의 안전성은 부유체와의 연성해석 없이 최대 offset을 고려한 해석을 통해 보수적으로 평가되는데, 본 연구에서는 계류된 부유체의 연성 운동해석을 고려하여 라이저의 안전성을 분석한다. 라이저는 초심해역에 적용되는 SLWR이 고려되며, 부유체는 FPSO가 적용된다. 연성을 고려하는 방법과 고려하지 않는 방법론에 대하여 제시한다. 계류선이 모두 안전한 정상상태(Intact) 조건과 사고(damaged) 조건을 고려하여, 각 조건에서 파랑 입사각도에 따라 연성해석 효과를 분석한다. 하중 조건에 따라 계류선의 장력, 부유체의 운동 및 라이저의 거동 등을 분석한다.

Internal solitary waves occur due to density stratification and are nonlinear in nature. These waves have been observed in many parts of the world including the South China Sea, Andaman Sea and Sulu Sea. Their effect on floating systems has been an emerging field of interest and recent offshore developments in the South China Sea where several offshore oil and gas discoveries are located have confirmed adverse effects including large platform motions and riser system damage. A valid numerical model conforming to the physics of internal waves is implemented in this paper and the effect on a spar platform is studied. The physics of internal waves is modeled by the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, which has a general solution involving Jacobian elliptical functions. The effects of vertical density stratification are captured by solving the Taylor Goldstein equation. Fully coupled time domain analyses are conducted to estimate the effect of internal waves on a typical truss spar, which is configured to South China Sea development requirements and environmental conditions. The hull, moorings and risers are considered as an integrated system and the platform global motions are analyzed. The study could be useful for future guidance and development of offshore systems in the South China Sea and other areas where the internal wave phenomenon is prominent.

A higher order zig-zag plate theory is developed to refine accurately predict fully coupled of the mechanical, thermal, and electric behaviors. Both the displacement and temperature fields through the thickness are constructed by superimposing linear zig-zag field to the smooth globally cubic varying field. Smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the transverse deflection in order to consider transverse normal deformation. Linear zig-zag form is adopted in the electric field. The layer-dependent degrees of freedom of displacement and temperature fields are expressed in terms of reference primary degrees of freedom by applying interface continuity conditions as well as bounding surface conditions of transverse shear stresses and transverse heat flux The numerical examples of coupled and uncoupled analysis are demonstrated the accuracy and efficiency of the present theory. The present theory is suitable for the predictions of fully coupled behaviors of thick smart composite plate under mechanical, thermal, and electric loadings.

Design equations of coupling plates, which connects floor beam of the upper modular unit and overhead beam of the lower one in order to improve serviceability in vibration, are proposed. End conditions of the coupled beams is semi-rigid and the optimal location of the coupling plates are assumed. Rotational constraints for both ends of the coupling plate modeled with beam elements are released and flexibility method is applied to obtain deflection equations of the coupled beam. Proposed equations are defined using the flexibility of the coupling plate, of which size can be determined inversely. Based on numerical analysis, coefficients of the design equations are calibrated and the revised equations are verified to be useful in the design of the coupled beam.

This paper is concerned with the modification of multidisciplinary feasible formulation for MDO problems using the integrated coupled approximate models. A drawback of conventional MDFs is the numerical difficulty in decomposing the design variables and deriving the coupled equations of state. To overcome such a drawback of conventional methods, the coupling in analysis and design is resolved by approximating the state variables in each discipline by the response surface method and by modifying the optimization formulation using the corresponding integrated coupled approximate models. The validity, reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method are illustrated and verified through two optimization problems, a mathematical MDF problem and the multidisciplinary optimum design of suspension unit of wheeled armored vehicle.

화재 발생 시 지하구조물의 열-역학상호거동이 정확히 고려되지 못하고 있으며, 이로 인해 일반적인 열전달 이론에 근거한 수치해석 시 화재로 인한 구조물의 손상정도가 과소 평가될 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화재 발생 시 지하구조물의 열-역학 상호거동을 모사하기 위한 유한요소 기반의 수치모델을 새롭게 개발하였다. 특히, 화재로 인한 구조물의 단면 손실을 모사하기 위한 요소제거모델을 제안하였고 대류 경계조건을 적용하였다. 이때 요소 내의 최대 온도가 해석 시에 설정한 임계온도 이상이 되면 요소가 제거되도록 설정하였다. 모형 화재시험 결과와 해석 결과를 비교한 변수해석을 통하여, RABT와 RWS 화재 시나리오 조건에 대한 최적의 임계온도, 요소크기, 온도에 따른 대류열전달계수 조건 등을 제시하였다.

A penalty frame method is proposed for the coupled analysis of finite elements with independently modeled substructures. Although previously reported hybrid interface method by Aminpour et al (IJNME, Vol 38, 1995) is accurate and reliable, it requires non-conventional special solution algorithm such as multifrontal solver. In present study, an alternative method has been developed using penalty frame constraints, which results in positive symmetric global stiffness matrices. Thus the conventional skyline solver or band solver can be utilized in the solution routine, which makes the present method applicable in the environment of conventional finite element commercial software. Numerical examples show applicability of the present method.

In this paper, the power flow analysis(PFA) method was developed to predict the vibrational responses of coupled co-planar orthotropic plates in frequencies ranging from medium to high. To cover the power transmission and reflection at the joint of the orthotropic plates, the wave transmission approach is applied with the assumption that all the incident waves are normal to the joint. Through numerical analyses, the power flow energy density and intensity fields of coupled co-planar orthotropic plates were compared with those of classical modal solutions by changing the frequency and internal loss factor, and they show good agreement in terms of the global decay and the attenuation patterns of the energy density.
