A new load/displacement parameter method is developed for the cases that loads are applied to one or more points, and displacements of a structure are controlled at one or more points sinultaneously. The procedure exploits a generalized Riks method, which utilizes load/displacement parameters as scaling factors in order to analyze the post-buckling phenomena including snap-through or snap-back. A convergence characteristic is improved by employing new relaxation factors in incremental displacement parameter, particularly at the region where exhibits severe numerical instability. The improved performance is illustrated by means of numerical example.

A new load/displacement parameter method is proposed for the simultaneous control of applied loads and structural displacements at one or more points. The procedure is based on a generalized Riks' method, which utilizes load/displacement parameters as scaling factors to analyze post-buckling phenomena including snap-through or snap-back. The convergence characteristics are improved by employing new relaxation factors through an incremental displacement parameter, particularly in a region that exhibits severe numerical instability. The improved performance is illustrated by means of a numerical example.

본 연구에서는 하중작용점(혹은 변위제어점)이 일점이고 스탭 백 현상이 없는 문제에 유용한 페널티 방법(penalty method)을 제안하고, 스냅 백 현상이 수반되는 경 우에는 페널티 방법과 Riks 방법을 선택적으로 취할 수 있도록 한다. 그리고 하중 작용점이 일점 혹은 그 이상의 점일 경우에 대해서는 Riks 방법을 기준으로 하되 일정 조건하에서는 새로운 증분하중 파라미터를 선택할 수 있게 하여, 순수한 Riks 방법으 로만 계산할 때에 일어날 수 있는 발산을 없앨 수 있게 한다. 끝으로 변위제어점이 일점 혹은 그 이상의 점인 경우에 대해 'Riks형 방법(Riks' type method)'을 제안하고, 이때에도 Riks형 방법을 기준으로 게산하되 일정한 조건하에서는 새로운 증분변위 파 라미터를 선택적으로 취할 수 있게 한다.

A creep-buckling analysis is studied for a simply-supported viscoelastic column. The fluid-type four-parameter model is employed because of its general applicability to creep materials. Using the imperfection-based incremental approach, a nonlinear load deflection equation is derived. Safe load and critical (or life) time which characterize the stability of the viscoelastic column are obtained mathematically and interpreted physically. A finite difference algorithm is applied to solve the second-order differential equation of the viscoelastic stress-strain relation. Numerical calculation has been made and discussed far a SUS316 stainless steel column.

본 논문의 주목적은 불연속 또는 연속계 구조물의 시스템 신뢰성해석(system reliability analysis)을 위한 보다 일반적인 방법을 소개하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는, 확대하중증분법(extended incremental load method)이라고 불리우는데, 지금까지의 신뢰성 해석법 중 종래의 하중증분법이 갖는 단점을 보완하고, 여러 형태의 하중이 작용하는 구조물에 대해, 부재의 파괴후 거동(post-ultimate behaviour)을 다른 방법보다 더 실제적으로 고려할 수 있는 장점을 갖도록 개발한 것이다. 본 방법의 또 하나의 장점은 구조설계시 사용하는 강도공식(strength formula) 을 시스템 신뢰성 해석에서 직접 이용할 수 있다는 점이다. 이 방법은 부유식 해양구조물 같은 연속계 구조물의 시스템 신뢰성 해석을 위해 개발되었는데, 이 논문에서는 실제 구조물은 다루지 않고, 방법의 정당성과 아울러 수정된 안전여유식의 적용가능성을 보여주는 것에 중점을 두었다. 본 논문의 부유식 해양구조물들에 적용한 결과는 후일 발표할 예정이다.

Quantitatively modeling and propagating all sources of uncertainty stand at the core of seismic fragility assessment of structures. This paper investigates the effects of various sources of uncertainty on seismic responses and seismic fragility estimates of single-layer reticulated domes. Sensitivity analyses are performed to examine the sensitivity of typical seismic responses to uncertainties in structural modeling parameters, and the results suggest that the variability in structural damping, yielding strength, steel ultimate strain, dead load and snow load has significant effects on the seismic responses, and these five parameters should be taken as random variables in the seismic fragility assessment. Based on this, fragility estimates and fragility curves incorporating different levels of uncertainty are obtained on the basis of the results of incremental dynamic analyses on the corresponding set of 40 sample models generated by Latin Hypercube Sampling method. The comparisons of these fragility curves illustrate that, the inclusion of only ground motion uncertainty is inappropriate and inadequate, and the appropriate way is incorporating the variability in the five identified structural modeling parameters as well into the seismic fragility assessment of single-layer reticulated domes.

This paper describes the application of the finite element method to the large deflection elastic plastic analysis and ultimate load calculation of axisymmetric shell of revolution with initial imperfection subjected to external pressure. The nonlinear equilibrium equations are linearized by the successive incremental method and are solved by the combination of load increment and iteration scheme with considering plastic deformation theory. To get the more realistic effect of large deflection, corrected coordinats and directions of applied load ar every load increment steps are used. The effects of the plasticity, initial imperfection and the shape of shells on the ultimate load of clamped circular cap under external pressure are investigated. Consequently, the following conclusions are obtained; (1) At same geometric parameter $\lambda$, each shape of clamped circular caps yield same elastic ultimate loads in both cases, i.e. with and without initial imperfections, whereas, in the case of elastic-plastic state the shell becomes thicker, the ultimate loads are getting smaller. (2) The effects of initial imperfection to ultimate load are most significant in the elastic case and are more senstive in the elastic-plastic state with the thinner shells.

This paper discusses the theoretical researches subject to elastic buckling problems of the structures. The purpose is to ensure the characteristic of buckling be true by arc-length method and the finite element method. The difficulties in processes calculating the equilibrium curve after buckling is to get the equilibrium owe near singular point at which the determinant of stiffness matrix is zero. The purpose of the load-displacement curve is to determine the buckling load of the structure, and further to get the information about the characteristic after buckling. Here, this paper expresses the incremental solution at particular point by the linear combination of both homogeneous mode and particular mode, then uses the method which gets the unknown parameter including this function, through trial-and-error method including modified N-R convergence process. Finally, this paper describes the multiple bifurcation of truss dome as the numerical examples according to this algorithm.

A risk assessment framework for evaluating building structures is implemented in this study. This framework allows considering sources of uncertainty both on structural capacity and seismic demand. In particular randomness on seismic load, incident angle, material properties, floor mass and structural damping are considered; in addition the choice of fibre modelling versus plastic hinge model is also considered as a source of uncertainty. The main objective of this work is to study the contribution of these sources of uncertainty on the fragilities of steel and steel-reinforced concrete composite 3D building structures. The fragility curves are expressed in the form of a two-parameter lognormal distribution where vertical statistics in conjunction with metaheuristic optimization are implemented for calculating the two parameters.
