Traditionally, multi-story buildings are designed to provide stiffer structural support to withstand lateral earthquake loading. Introducing flexible elements at the base of a structure and providing sufficient damping is an alternative way to mitigate seismic hazards. These features can be achieved with a device known as an isolator. This paper covers the design of base isolators for multi-story buildings in medium-risk seismicity regions and evaluates the structural responses of such isolators. The well-known tower building for police personnel built in Dhaka, Bangladesh by the Public Works Department (PWD) has been used as a case study to justify the viability of incorporating base isolators. The objective of this research was to establish a simplified model of the building that can be effectively used for dynamic analysis, to evaluate the structural status, and to suggest an alternative option to handle the lateral seismic load. A finite element model was incorporated to understand the structural responses. Rubber-steel bearing (RSB) isolators such as Lead rubber bearing (LRB) and high damping rubber bearing (HDRB) were used in the model to insert an isolator link element in the structural base. The nonlinearities of rubber-steel bearings were considered in detail. Linear static, linear dynamic, and nonlinear dynamic analyses were performed for both fixed-based (FB) and base isolated (BI) buildings considering the earthquake accelerograms, histories, and response spectra of the geological sites. Both the time-domain and frequency-domain approaches were used for dynamic solutions. The results indicated that for existing multi-story buildings, RSB diminishes the muscular amount of structural response compared to conventional non-isolated structures. The device also allows for higher horizontal displacement and greater structural flexibility. The suggested isolation technique is able to mitigate the structural hazard under even strong earthquake vulnerability.

When a building suffers damages under moderate to severe loading condition, its physical properties such as damping and stiffness parameters will change. There are different practical methods besides various numerical procedures that have successfully detected a range of these changes. Almost all the previous proposed methods used to work with translational components of mode shapes, probably because extracting these components is more common in vibrational tests. This study set out to investigate the influence of using both rotational and translational components of mode shapes, in detecting damages in 3-D steel structures elements. Three different sets of measured components of mode shapes are examined: translational, rotational, and also rotational/translational components in all joints. In order to validate our assumptions two different steel frames with three damage scenarios are considered. An iterative model updating program is developed in the MATLAB software that uses the OpenSees as its finite element analysis engine. Extensive analysis shows that employing rotational components results in more precise prediction of damage location and its intensity. Since measuring rotational components of mode shapes still is not very convenient, modal dynamic expansion technique is applied to generate rotational components from measured translational ones. The findings indicated that the developed model updating program is really efficient in damage detection even with generated data and considering noise effects. Moreover, methods which use rotational components of mode shapes can predict damage's location and its intensity more precisely than the ones which only work with translational data.

There is a burgeoning demand for minimizing the mass of satellites because of its direct impact on reducing launch-to-orbit cost. This must be done without compromising the structure's efficiency. The present paper introduces a relatively low-cost and easily implementable approach for optimizing structural mass to a maximum natural frequency. The natural frequencies of the satellite are of utmost pertinence to the application requirements, as the sensitive electronic instrumentation and onboard computers should not be affected by the vibrations of the satellite structure. This methodology is applied to a realistic model of Al-Azhar University micro-satellite in partnership with the Egyptian Space Agency. The procedure used in structural design can be summarized in two steps. The first step is to select the most favorable primary structural configuration among several different candidate variants. The nominated variant is selected as the one scoring maximum relative dynamic stiffness. The second step is to use perforation patterns reduce the overall mass of structural elements in the selected variant without changing the weight. The results of the presented procedure demonstrate that the mass reduction percentage was found to be 39% when compared to the unperforated configuration that had the same plate thickness. The findings of this study challenge the commonly accepted notion that isogrid perforations are the most effective means of achieving the goal of reducing mass while maintaining stiffness. Rather, the study highlights the potential benefits of exploring a wider range of perforation unit cells during the design process. The study revealed that rectangular perforation patterns had the lowest efficiency in terms of modal stiffness, while triangular patterns resulted in the highest efficiency. These results suggest that there may be significant gains to be made by considering a broader range of perforation shapes and configurations in the design of lightweight structures.

일반적으로 콘크리트 구조물은 보와 기둥이 서로 강결되어 있으며, 이러한 경우 강진에 의해 연결부에서 심각한 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 이를 저감시키면서 내진성능을 향상시키기 위한 다양한 연결 형태가 연구되어지고 있다. 그 한 예로 연결부에서의 회전을 허용하는 연결형식이 있으며 보나 기둥, 그리고 전단벽에 응용되고 있다. 이러한 회전형 구조요소들은 횡방향 거동시 비선형 힘-변위 관계를 나타내는데, 그 원인은 연결부의 회전으로 인한 접촉면의 깊이(contact depth)가 줄어듦과 동시에 요소의 각 단면에서의 응력이 비선형적으로 분포되는 탄성힌지 구간이 존재하기 때문이다. 이 연구에서는 축방향 하중(공칭강도의 5%와 10%)과 경계조건(양단구속 형식, 캔틸레버 형식), 세장비(L/d = 5, 7, 10) 등의 변수를 고려한 유한요소해석을 통해 회전형 기둥의 탄성힌지 구간 또는 길이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 이 세가지 변수는 탄성힌지길이 변화에는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않았으며 다만 접촉면의 깊이에 의해 지배됨을 알 수 있었다. 이 탄성힌지길이는 opening state부터 발생하기 시작하여 rocking point까지(pre-rocking 구간) 증가하였으나 그 이후(post-rocking 구간)에서는 일정한 값을 보였다. 탄성힌지길이에 대한 유한요소해석 결과를 이론적 예측식인 반무한모델(half space model)의 결과와 비교하였다.

이 연구는 DH beam의 구조성능을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. DH beam을 사용하는 DH 공법은 얇은 철판을 성형하여 거푸집 및 구조적 역할을 할 수 있는 철판을 철근과 함께 공장에서 선조립하여 현장으로 반입하여 콘크리트를 타설하는 공법이다. 이 때 DH 판이 거푸집 역할 뿐 아니라 휨강도에 기여할 것으로 여겨져서 이 연구에서는 DH 판의 휨강도 기여도를 평가하고자 하였다. 총 5개의 실험체를 대상으로 실험 및 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험체는 2개의 정모멘트 실험체, 2개의 부모멘트 실험체, 그리고 1개의 RC 실험체로 구성되었다. RC 실험체는 DH beam과 비교를 목적으로 제작하였다. DH beam에 대한 실험 결과는 휨강도를 산정하는 설계식 그리고 RC 실험체에 대한 실험 결과 등과 비교를 통하여 DH beam은 철판이 항복하면서 충분히 휨강도에 기여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 비선형 구조해석에서는 두 개의 실험체에 대하여 DH 판이 있는 경우와 없는 경우를 대상으로 휨강도, 콘크리트의 주인장변형률, 그리고 철근의 응력을 비교하였으며, 해석에서도 DH 판이 휨강도에 충분히 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 실험 및 해석적 연구의 결과 DH beam의 철판은 콘크리트와 합성단면을 형성하여 충분한 휨강도를 갖는 것으로 보였다.

The present study focuses on examining the structural behaviour of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams under high rates of loading largely associated with impact problems. Fibres are added to the concrete mix to enhance ductility and energy absorption, which is important for impact-resistant design. A simple, yet practical non-linear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) model was used in the present study. Experimental static and impact tests were also carried out on beams spanning 1.3 meter with weights dropped from heights of 1.5 m and 2.5 m, respectively. The numerical model realistically describes the fully-brittle tensile behaviour of plain concrete as well as the contribution of steel fibres to the post-cracking response (the latter was allowed for by conveniently adjusting the constitutive relations for plain concrete, mainly in uniaxial tension). Suitable material relations (describing compression, tension and shear) were selected for SFRC and incorporated into ABAQUS software Brittle Cracking concrete model. A more complex model (i.e., the Damaged Plasticity concrete model in ABAQUS) was also considered and it was found that the seemingly simple (but fundamental) Brittle Cracking model yielded reliable results. Published data obtained from drop-weight experimental tests on RC and SFRC beams indicates that there is an increase in the maximum load recorded (compared to the corresponding static one) and a reduction in the portion of the beam span reacting to the impact load. However, there is considerable scatter and the specimens were often tested to complete destruction and thus yielding post-failure characteristics of little design value and making it difficult to pinpoint the actual load-carrying capacity and identify the associated true ultimate limit state (ULS). To address this, dynamic NLFEA was employed and the impact load applied was reduced gradually and applied in pulses to pinpoint the actual failure point. Different case studies were considered covering impact loading responses at both the material and structural levels as well as comparisons between RC and SFRC specimens. Steel fibres were found to increase the load-carrying capacity and deformability by offering better control over the cracking process concrete undergoes and allowing the impact energy to be absorbed more effectively compared to conventional RC members. This is useful for impact-resistant design of SFRC beams.

Stress transfer to the surrounding tissues is one of the factors involved in the design of dental implants. Unfortunately, insufficient data are available for stress transfer within the regenerated bone surrounding dental implants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentration of stresses within the regenerated bone surrounding the implant using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis method. Stress magnitude and contours within the regenerated bone were calculated. The $3.75{\times}10-mm$ implant (3i, USA) was used for this study and was assumed to be 100% osseointegrated, and was placed in mandibular bone and restored with a cast gold crown. Using ANSYS software revision 6.0, a program was written to generate a model simulating a cylindrical block section of the mandible 20 mm in height and 10 mm in diameter. The present study used a fine grid model incorporating elements between 165,148 and 253,604 and nodal points between 31,616 and 48,877. This study was simulated loads of 200N at the central fossa (A), at the outside point of the central fossa with resin filling into screw hole (B), and at the buccal cusp (C), in a vertical and $30^{\circ}$ lateral loading, respectively. The results were as follows; 1. In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type I and II, stresses were increased from loading point A to C in vertical loading. And stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were distributed along the implant evenly in loading point A, concentrated on the top of the cylindrical collar loading point B and C in vertical loading. And, In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type III, stresses were increase from loading point A to C in vertical loading. And stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were distributed along the implant evenly in loading point A, B and C in vertical loading. 2. In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type I and II, stresses were decreased from loading point A to C in lateral loading. Stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were concentrated on the top of the cylindrical collar in loading point A and B, distributed along the implant evenly in loading point C in lateral loading. And, In case the regenerated bone (bone quality type IV) was surrounded by bone quality type III, stresses were decreased from loading point A to C in lateral loading. And stresses according to the depth of regenerated bone were distributed along the implant evenly in loading point A, B and C in lateral loading. In summary, these data indicate that both bone quality surrounding the regenerated bone adjacent to implant fixture and load direction applied on the prosthesis could influence concentration of stress within the regenerated bone surrounding the cylindrical type implant fixture.

비압축성 유체유동에 대한 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 충돌 접촉면 조건으로 특징지어지는 강체-유체 충돌문제를 Lagrangian 유한요소법에 의해 해석하였으며, 계산의 편의상, 속도장을 점성및 중력항과 압력항으로 나누어 수행하는 소위 fractional step method를 도입하였다. 유체영역은 4절점의 4각형 요소로 분할하였으며, 충분히 작은 시간간격의 도입을 전제로 하여 explicit time marching법으로 수치해석하였다. 매 시간 step의 초기에 우선 운동량-충격량 법칙으로 강체의 수면충돌후 속도를 구했으며, 그 속도로 표현되는 충돌 접촉면의 경계조건과 완전한 형태의 자유표면조건 그리고 운동방정식 및 연속 방정식을 모두 만족하는 속도장을 구하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 수치해석법에 의하면, 유체충격문제에 있어 매우 중요하다고 알려져 있는 tip splash를 포함하는 자유표면의 형상을 쉽게 추적해 갈 수 있다. Lagrangian 유한요소법의 적용의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 대칭형 2차원 쐐기 모양의 강체가 수면충돌하는 경우를 예로하여 시간의 경과에 따른 충격수압의 분포 및 충격외력 등을 추정한 결과, 본 방법의 적용의 유효성과 아울러 몇가지 유용한 결론을 유도할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of stress within the regenerated bone surrounding the implant using three dimensional finite element stress analysis method. Using ANSYS software revision 6.0 (IronCAD LLC, USA), a program was written to generate a model simulating a cylindrical block section of the mandible 20 mm in height and 10 mm in diameter. The $5.0{\times}11.5-mm$ screw implant (3i, USA) was used for this study, and was assumed to be 100% osseointegrated. And it was restored with gold crown with resin filling at the central fossa area. The implant was surrounded by the regenerated type IV bone, with 4 mm in width and 7 mm apical to the platform of implant in length. And the regenerated bone was surrounded by type I, type II, and type III bone, respectively. The present study used a fine grid model incorporating elements between 250,820 and 352,494 and nodal points between 47,978 and 67,471. A load of 200N was applied at the 3 points on occlusal surfaces of the restoration, the central fossa, outside point of the central fossa with resin filling into screw hole, and the functional cusp, at a 0 degree angle to the vertical axis of the implant, respectively. The results were as follows: 1. The stress distribution in the regenerated bone-implant interface was highly dependent on both the density of the native bone surrounding the regenerated bone and the loading point. 2. A load of 200N at the buccal cusp produced 5-fold increase in the stress concentration at the neck of the implant and apex of regenerated bone irrespective of surrounding bone density compared to a load of 200N at the central fossa. 3. It was found that stress was more homogeneously distributed along the side of implant when the implant was surrounded by both regenerated bone and native type III bone. In summary, these data indicate that concentration of stress on the implant-regenerated bone interface depends on both the native bone quality surrounding the regenerated bone adjacent to implant and the load direction applied on the prosthesis.
