본 논문에서는 아이소-지오메트릭 해석법을 이용하여 설계 의존형 하중조건을 갖는 구조물에 대한 형상 최적설계를 수행하였다. 유한요소법 기반 형상 최적설계는 CAD와 해석 모델의 차이로 인해, 설계영역 매개 변수화에 어려움이 있다. 아이소-지오메트릭 해석법은 CAD 모델과 동일한 NURBS 기저 함수와 조정점을 해석에 이용함으로써 설계의 기하학적 변화를 해석모델에 직접적으로 표현할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 하중조건이 설계 영역에 따라 변화하는 최적설계 문제의 경우, 정확한 설계 영역 표현은 법선 벡터, 즉 변화하는 하중의 방향, 곡률 등 고차항의 정보를 정확하게 표현할 수 있고, 따라서 목적함수를 최소 또는 최대화시키는 최적의 해로 이끌어 낸다. 유한요소법 또는 밀도법을 이용한 형상 최적설계에서 설계 의존형 하중조건을 갖는 구조물의 문제를 푸는 경우, 최적설계가 진행됨에 있어 변화하는 경계의 부정확성 때문에 정확한 설계민감도를 얻기가 어려운 점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 수치 예제를 통해 아이소-지오메트릭 설계민감도를 활용한 형상 최적설계 기법이 설계 의존형 하중조건을 갖는 구조물 문제에서 유한요소 기반의 최적설계보다 더 나은 결과를 제시함을 확인하였다.

공사중 터널은 막장부의 종방향 및 횡방향 아치거동에 의하여 주변 지반은 3차원적 변형거동을 보이나, 터널 안정성 해석에는 전산효율 등의 이유로 2차원 수치해석법이 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 하중분배율은 터널의 굴진효과를 고려하기 위하여 2차원 해석에 도입된 것으로 지반변위, 숏크 리트 및 록볼트와 같은 1차 지보재의 하중 등과 같은 해석결과에 큰 영향을 미친다. 또한, 3차원 해석을 이용한 기존의 연구에 의하면, 지반의 변형특성, 터널크기, 굴진장 등이 하중분배율에 주요한 영향을 미친다는 사실이 입증되었다. 그러나, 설계조건에 대한 하중분배율의 정량적 산정법의 부재 로 인하여 실제 해석시에는 설계조건을 무시한 하중분배율이 적용되고 있는 실정이다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 기존 연구(정 대열, 1993)에서 제시한 72개의 3차원 해석결과에 대한 회귀분석을 통하여 하중분배율을 정량적으로 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한. ring-cut공법은 막장의 자립성 이 매우 불량한 조건에 적용되는 공법임에도 불구하고 기존의 2차원 해석 법으로는 막장코아의 진 지효과를 고려하지 못하는 문제점이 있었다. 따라서, 2차원 및 3차원 수치해석을 통하여 ring-cut공 법에 대한 기존 해석법의 문제점을 검토하였으며 본 공법에 대한 하중분배율의 보정치를 제시하였 다.

The existing concrete bridges are time-varying working systems, where the maintenance strategy should be planned according to the time-varying performance of the bridge. This work proposes a time-dependent residual capacity assessment procedure, which considers the non-stationary bridge load effects under growing traffic and non-stationary structural deterioration owing to material degradations. Lifetime bridge load effects under traffic growth are predicated by the non-stationary peaks-over-threshold (POT) method using time-dependent generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) models. The non-stationary structural resistance owing to material degradation is modeled by incorporating the Gamma deterioration process and field inspection data. A three-span continuous box-girder bridge is illustrated as an example to demonstrate the application of the proposed procedure, and the time-varying reliability indexes of the bridge girder are calculated. The accuracy of the proposed non-stationary POT method is verified through numerical examples, where the shape parameter of the time-varying GPD model is constant but the threshold and scale parameters are polynomial functions increasing with time. The case study illustrates that the residual flexural capacities show a degradation trend from a slow decrease to an accelerated decrease under traffic growth and material degradation. The reliability index for the mid-span cross-section reduces from 4.91 to 4.55 after being in service for 100 years, and the value is from 4.96 to 4.75 for the mid-support cross-section. The studied bridge shows no safety risk under traffic growth and structural deterioration owing to its high design safety reserve. However, applying the proposed numerical approach to analyze the degradation of residual bearing capacity for bridge structures with low safety reserves is of great significance for management and maintenance.

The life of transformer is significantly dependent on the thermal behavior in windings. To analyse winding temperature rise, many transformer designer have calculated temperature distribution and hot spot point by finite element method(FEM). Recently, numerical analyses of transformer are studied for optimum design, that is electric field analysis, magnetic field, potential vibration, thermal distribution and thermal stress. Therefore design time and design cost are decreased by numerical analysis. In this paper, the temperature distribution and thermal stress analysis of 50kVA pole cast resin transformer for power distribution are investigated by FEM program. The temperature change according to load rates of transformer also have been investigated. We have carried out temperature rise test and test results are compared with simulation data.

Cargo, such as a Tension Leg Platform (TLP), Semi-submersible platform (Semi), Spar or a circular Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO), are frequently dry-transported on a Heavy Lift Vessel (HLV) from the point of construction to the point of installation. The voyage can span months and the overhanging portions of the hull can be subject to frequent wave slamming events in rough weather. Tie-downs or sea-fastening are usually provided to ensure the safety of the cargo during the voyage and to keep the extreme responses of the cargo, primarily for the installed equipment and facilities, within the design limits. The proper design of the tie-down is dependent on the accurate prediction of the wave slamming loads the cargo will experience during the voyage. This is a difficult task and model testing is a widely accepted and adopted method to obtain reliable sea-fastening loads and extreme accelerations. However, it is crucial to realize the difference in the inherent stiffness of the instrument that is used to measure the tri-axial sea fastening loads and the prototype design of the tie-downs. It is practically not possible to scale the tri-axial load measuring instrument stiffness to reflect the real tie-down stiffness during tests. A correlation method is required to systematically and consistently account for the stiffness differences and correct the measured results. Direct application of the measured load tends to be conservative and lead to over-design that can reflect on the overall cost and schedule of the project. The objective here is to employ the established correlation method to provide proper high-frequency responses to topsides and hull design teams. In addition, guidance for optimizing tie-down design to avoid damage to the installed equipment, facilities and structural members can be provided.

In this paper, time-continuous constitutive equations for strain rate-dependent materials are presented first, among which those for the overstress and the consistency viscoplastic models are considered. By allowing the stress states to be outside the yield surface, the overstress viscoplastic model directly defines the flow rule for viscoplastic strain rate. In comparison, a rate-dependent yield surface is defined in the consistency viscoplastic model, so that the standard Kuhn-Tucker loading/unloading condition still remains true for rate-dependent plasticity. Based on the formulation of the consistency viscoplasticity, a computational elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model is proposed for the short fiber-reinforced fresh cementitious paste for extrusion purpose. The proposed constitutive model adopts the von-Mises yield criterion, the associated flow rule and nonlinear strain rate-hardening law. It is found that the predicted flow stresses of the extrudable fresh cementitious paste agree well with experimental results. The rate-form constitutive equations are then integrated into an incremental formulation, which is implemented into a numerical framework based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA finite element code. Then, a series of upsetting and ram extrusion processes are simulated. It is found that the predicted forming load-time data are in good agreement with experimental results, suggesting that the proposed constitutive model could describe the elasto-viscoplastic behavior of the short fiber-reinforced extrudable fresh cementitious paste.

The long-term success of any dental implant is dependent upon the optimization of stresses which occur during oral function and parafunction. Especially, it has been suggested that there is an unique set of problems associated with joining an osseointegrated implant and a natural tooth with a fixed partial denture. For this particular case, although many literatures suggest different ways to avoid high stress concentrations on the bone surrounding the implant under static and dynamic loading conditions, but few studies on the biomechanical efficacy of each assertion have been reported. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the efficacies of clinically suggested methods on stress distribution under static load and shock absorption under dynamic load, using two dimensional finite element method. In FEM models of osseointegrated implant-natural tooth supported fixed partial dentures, calculations were made on the stresses in surrounding bone and on the deflections of abutments and superstructure, first, to compare the difference in stress distribution effects under static load by the flexure of fastening screw or prosthesis, or intramobile connector, and second, to compare the difference in the shock absorption effects under dynamic load by intramobile connector or occlusal veneering with composite resin. The results of this analysis suggest that : 1. Under static load condition, using an implant design with fastenign screw connecting implant abutment and prosthesis or increasing the flexibility of fastening screw, or increasing the flexibility of prosthesis led to the .increase in height of peak stresses in cortical bone surrounding the implant, and has little effect on stress change in bone around the natural tooth. 2. Under static load condition, intramobile connector caused the substantial decrease in stress concentration in cortical bone surrounding the implant and the slight increase in stress in bone around the natural tooth. 3. Under dynamic load condition, both intramobile connector and composite resin veneering showed shock absorption effect on bone surrounding the implant and composite resin veneering had a greater shock absorption effect than intramobile connector.

The mold transformers have been widely used in underground substations in large building and have some advantages in comparison to oil-transformer, that is low fire risk, excellent environmental compatibility, compact size and high reliability. In addition, the application of mold transformer for outdoor is possible due to development of epoxy resin. The mold transformer generally has cooling duct between low voltage coil and high voltage coil. A mold transformer made by one body molding method has been developed for small size and low loss. The life of transformer is significantly dependent on the thermal behavior in windings. To analyse winding temperature rise, many transformer designer have calculated temperature distribution and hot spot point by finite element method(FEM). Recently, numerical analyses of transformer are studied for optimum design, that is electric field analysis, magnetic field, potential vibration, thermal distribution and thermal stress. In this paper, the temperature distribution of 50 kVA pole mold transformer for power distribution are investigated by FEM program and the temperature rise test of designed mold transformer carried out and test result is analyzed compare to simulation data. In this result, the designed mold transformer is satisfied to limit value of temperature and the other property is good such as voltage ratio, winding resistance, no-load loss, load loss, impedance voltage and percent regulation.

Energy dissipation devices can be considered as an alternative for the seismic performance enhancement of existing structures based on the strengthened seismic design code. In this study, seismic response mitigation effects of friction dampers are investigated through the shaking table test of a full scale 3 story building structure. Frist, the bilinear force-displacement relationship of a structure-brace-friction damper system and the effect of brace-friction damper on the increase of frequency and damping ratio are identified. Second, frequency, displacement, and torque dependent characteristics of the friction damper are investigated by using harmonic load excitation tests. Finally, the shaking table tests are performed for a full scale 3 story steel frame. System identification results using random signal excitation indicated that brace-friction damper increased structural damping ratio and frequency, and El Centro earthquake test showed that brace-friction damper reduced the peak displacement and acceleration significantly. In particular, it was observed that the damping effect due to friction damper becomed obvious when the structure was excited by more intensive load causing frequent slippage of the friction dampers.

This paper describes the improvement of the arithmetic for emergency generator capacity. This formula which calculates emergency generator is dependent on the Korean Design Standard of building electrical equipment issued by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the technical data related to the generator. when appling the formula, the capacity of the generator is insufficient at the starting conditions of the load facility. In case of emergency, the generator is not operated normally. $PG_2$ of the formula ($PG_1$, $PG_2$, $PG_3$) applied in determining the capacity of the emergency generator is selected by calculating the capacity of the generator based on only biggest one motor among the load equipment and $PG_3$ may not be able to start the generator normally in case of emergency because there is an error such that the power factor is applied at the last start of the motor having the maximum capacity of the load. We analyze the problem of capacity calculation of emergency generators used for general purposes. As a consequence, the improved formulas have been presented for safety of electrical installation.
