Influences of stiffness distributions on hydroelastic responses of very large floating structures (VLFS) are studied in this paper. Hydroelastic responses are calculated by direct method employing higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM) for fluid analysis and finite element method (FEM) for structure analysis. In structural analysis using FEM, Mindlin plate elements are used. An 1 km-long VLFS with uniform stiffness and modified VLFS with varying stiffness distributions are considered in numerical analysis. Responses of VLFS increase in flexible parts and decrease in stiff Parts. Reduction degree of displacements of VLFS with stiffened center is larger than that of VLFS with stiffened sides.

There are many accident causes related to even an accident. As well four(4) stepped causes of one accident at construction sites are analyzed in the study. First, eleven(11) cause factors are set up at each step such as policy level, management, indirect, direct level which are discussed and determined by field experts with 15year experience or more. Therefore, one direct cause occurred in construction site can be connected to the previous cause than in direct and management, and policy problem of previous management. These questionnaires results are analyzed with three different methods such as weighing level by Delphi technique, correlation analysis, critical pass method. Three different methods show their characteristic to see which subcontract work is more dangerous or not. Subcontract or at a construction site can be use the above three different cases as they need at their site in order to make more effective countermeasures.

In order to design safer and more economical ship structures, theoretical structure analysis of entire vessel is desirable. This paper describes the application of the Direct Stiffness Method to ship structures for calculation of forces and moments which act on each part of ship structures. Before application of this method, ship structures have to be replaced with equivalent space frame. Emphasis is placed on the division of total stiffness matrix of entire vessel. Floating barge, of which principal dimensions are $L{\times}B{\times}D=16M{\times}10M{\times}2M$, is taken as calculation sample. The conclusion of this paper is that, in initial stage of ship structure design, the Direct Stiffness Method by Division can be applied to determine frame-space and scantlings of members.

In the paper, the permanent magnet synchronous generator of 1.5[MW] output power which is driven directly without gear system is designed by conventional magnetic equivalent circuit method and analyzed by finite element method. We analyzed the characteristics of generator like no load, rated load, short circuit condition and demagnetization of permanent magnet in order to verify the design results by magnetic circuit method. The last, the analysis results of two kinds of rotor types are compared with each other. Especially the THD(total harmonic distortion) of output voltage is examined for the comparison.

This paper presents a energy function to reflect the control effect of speed governor which has a cut-off property which means position and rate limit The proposed energy function satisfies the semi-negativeness of its time derivative and well reflects the parameters of speed governor to the energy function. The transient stability analysis by the direct method for the single machine infinite bus system has been conducted with the use of the proposed energy function, which shows that the results by the direct method well agree with that by the conventional time simulation method. This thesis shows a possibility of more accurate stability analysis by taking into account the cut-off property of speed governor's output.

Stochastic response of systems to random excitation can be estimated by direct integration methods in the time domain such as the stochastic central difference method (SCDM). In this paper, the SCDM is applied to compute the variance and covariance in response of linear and nonlinear structures subjected to random excitation. The accuracy of the SCDM is assessed using two-DOF systems with both deterministic and random material properties excited by white noise. For the former case, closed-form solutions can be obtained. Numerical results also are presented for a simply supported geometrically nonlinear beam. The stiffness of this beam is modeled as a random field, and the beam is idealized by the stochastic finite element method. A perturbation technique is applied to formulate the equations of motion of the system, and the dynamic structural response statistics are obtained in a time domain analysis. The effect of variations in structural parameters and the numerical stability of the SCDM also are examined.

Semi-rigid joints have been widely studied in literature in recent decades because they affect greatly the structural response of frames. In literature, the behavior of semi-rigid joints is commonly assumed to be identical under positive and negative moments which are obviously incorrect in many cases where joint details such as bolt arrangement or placement of haunch are vertically asymmetrical. This paper evaluates two common types of steel frames with asymmetrical beam-to-column joints by Direct Analysis allowing for plasticity. A refined design method of steel frames using a proposed simple forth order curved-quartic element with an integrated joint model allowing for asymmetrical geometric joint properties is presented. Furthermore, the ultimate behavior of six types of asymmetrical end-plate connections under positive and negative moment is examined by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The FEM results are further applied to the proposed design method with the curved-quartic element for Direct Analysis of two types of steel frames under dominant gravity or wind load. The ultimate frame behavior under the two different scenarios are examined with respect to their failure modes and considerably different structural performances of the frames were observed when compared with the identical frames designed with the traditional method where symmetrical joints characteristics were assumed. The finding of this research contributes to the design of steel frames as their asymmetrical beam-to-column joints lead to different frame behavior when under positive and negative moment and this aspect should be incorporated in the design and analysis of steel frames. This consideration of asymmetrical joint behavior is recommended to be highlighted in future design codes.

This paper presents the simplified welding distortion analysis method to predict the welding deformation of both plate and stiffener in fillet welds. Currently, the methods based on equivalent thermal strain like Strain as Direct Boundary (SDB) has been widely used due to effective prediction of welding deformation. Regarding the fillet welding, however, those methods cannot represent deformation of both members at once since the temperature degree of freedom is shared at the intersection nodes in both members. In this paper, we propose new approach to simulate deformation of both members. The method can simulate fillet weld deformations by employing composite shell element and using different thermal expansion coefficients according to thickness direction with fixed temperature at intersection nodes. For verification purpose, we compare of result from experiments, 3D thermo elastic plastic analysis, SDB method and proposed method. Compared of experiments results, the proposed method can effectively predict welding deformation for fillet welds.

The fraction of $\varepsilon\;and\;\gamma$'-iron nitride in compound layer is predicted by x-ray diffraction using direct comparison method. The validity of formulation models was checked by comparing calculated results with metallographic analysis of iron nitride compound layer grown on steel S45C by gas nitriding. The fraction of $\varepsilon$ calculated by the three phase model, porous-$Fe_3N$/ dense-$Fe_3N$/ mixed layer with $Fe_3N\;and\;Fe_4N$, is 80 percent of that analyzed by etching technique. The $\varepsilon$ fraction predicted by mixed layer model is 122 percent of that measured by microscope.

Environmental and industrial aerosols can be analyzed on-line by laser plasma spectroscopy. The main problem in direct (no preparation or presorting) aerosol analysis is the extensive spectral fluctuations. A method to partially solve this problem is proposed. It is based on single shot measurements and application of a special rejection algorithm. The major factors that influence the spectral variations are discussed, in relation to the correction possibility by a rejection program. The method works well when average intensity of the single spectra is relatively high, as compared to detector's saturation limit. If intensities are too low, the accumulation of readout noise is critical, and no improvement is expected.
