RVDT(Rotary Variable Differential Transformer)는 각도 변위를 측정하는 센서로써 출력 신호는 DSBSC-AM(Double SideBand Suppressed Carrier AM) 신호이기 때문에 출력 신호로부터 각도 변위를 알아내기 위하여 DSBSC-AM 복조 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 DSBSC-AM 신호의 복조기인 코스타스 루프를 수정하여 RVDT 출력 신호로부터 각도 변위를 추출하는 DADC(Digital Angle to DC)를 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)로 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 DADC는 4선식과 5선식 RVDT에 적용가능하며, 코스타스 루프의 사용으로 기존의 아날로그 신호처리기와는 달리 외부의 소자를 사용하지 않고 RVDT 입력여기신호와 출력신호 사이의 위상 차이를 정확하게 보정할 수 있다. 또한 선형성 향상을 위하여 디지털 신호처리 기법이 적용되어 DADC는 기존의 아날로그 신호처리기의 선형성 오차 0.05%보다 적은 0.035%의 선형성 오차를 보였다. 구현된 DADC의 기능과 성능 테스트는 상용 RVDT 센서와 ADC(Analog to Digital Converter), 아날로그 출력단으로 구성된 통합 실험환경을 구성하여 진행하였다.

최근 국내에서 공용중인 국도터널의 효율적 관리를 위해 IT 기반의 터널 통합관리 시스템을 구축하여 운용 중에 있다. 이 시스템은 지진에 대한 관리 기능이 포함되어 있지 않기 때문에 지진에 대한 신속한 대응과 내진 보강 대상 구간을 선별하는 것이 불가능하다. 특히, 1999년 이후부터 설계 및 시공된 터널은 재현주기 1000년(붕괴방지수준)을 기준으로 내진설계가 되어 있기에 이 이상의 지진이 발생할 경우 구조물에 대한 안정성은 별도의 평가가 필요한 실정이다. 그러나 다양한 지진규모에 대해 안정성 평가를 수행하려면 물리적으로 많은 시간이 소요되므로 보다 간편하게 평가할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지진에 대한 평가를 간편하게 수행할 수 있는 경험적 간편식을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 1차원 지반응답해석을 수행하여 지반 변위를 계산하였고, 응답변위법의 2가지 방법(해석해와 수치해석)을 사용하여 지진 시 터널의 안정성을 검토하였다.

지주식 흙막이 공법(Inclined Earth Retaining Wall; 이하 IER)은 지반 조건과 상재하중 등의 영향에 따라 다르지만 일반적으로 6.0~7.0m의 굴착 심도에서 자립이 가능하다. 하지만 더 깊은 심도의 굴착과 이에 따른 안정성을 확보하기 위해서 다른 공법과 병행하여 적용 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IER에 소일네일링 공법을 적용한 복합형 IER의 안정성을 확인하고 효율적인 설치방법을 제안하고자 실내모형실험과 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 실내 모형실험 결과 소일네일을 설치하였을 때가 설치하지 않았을 때와 비교하여 수평변위가 약 92% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었고, 3차원 유한요소해석 결과 소일네일 간격은 수평방향${\times}$수직방향 간격이 $1.5m{\times}0.75m$이고, 길이는 굴착 심도의 86%일 때 경제성과 안정성이 최적인 결과가 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, IER의 변위가 크게 증가하는 굴착 심도 이전의 굴착 단계에 소일네일을 설치하였을 때 최대 1.71배 더 굴착이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

Structural pipe-in-pipe cross-sections have significant potential for application in offshore oil and gas production systems because of their property that combines insulation performance with structural strength in an integrated way. Such cross-sections comprise inner and outer thin walled pipes with the annulus between them fully filled by a selectable thick filler material to impart an appropriate combination of properties. Structural pipe-in-pipe cross-sections can exhibit several different collapse mechanisms and the basis of the preferential occurrence of one over others is of interest. This paper presents an elastic analyses of a structural pipe-in-pipe cross-section when subjected to external hydrostatic pressure. It formulates and solves the static and elastic buckling problem using the variational principle of minimum potential energy. The paper also investigates a simplified formulation of the problem where the outer pipe and its contact with the filler material is considered as a 'pipe on an elastic foundation'. Results are presented to show the variation of elastic buckling pressure with the relative elastic modulus of the filler and pipe materials, the filler thickness and the thicknesses of the inner and outer pipes. The range of applicability of the simplified 'pipe on an elastic foundation' analysis is also presented. A brief review of the types of materials that could be used as the filler is combined with the results of the analysis to draw conclusions about elastic buckling behaviour of structural pipe-in-pipe cross-sections.

The seismic response of RC space frame structures with isolated footing resting on a shallow soil stratum on rock is presented in this paper. Homogeneous soil stratum of different stiffness in the very soft to stiff range is considered. Soil, footing and super structure are considered to be the parts of an integral system. A finite element model of the integrated system is developed and subjected to scaled acceleration time histories recorded during two different real earthquakes. Dynamic analysis is performed using mode superposition method of transient analysis. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of flexibility of soil in the dynamic behaviour of low-rise building frames. The time histories and Fourier spectra of roof displacement, base shear and structural response quantities of the space frame on compliant base are presented and compared with the fixed base condition. Results indicate that the incorporation of soil flexibility is required for the realistic estimate of structural seismic response especially for single storey structures resting on very soft soil.

This paper presents a maneuver analysis of a full-vehicle featuring electrorheological(ER) suspension and ER brake. In order to achieve this goal, an ER damper and an ER valve pressure modulator are devised to construct ER suspension and ER brake systems, respectively. After formulating the governing equations of the ER damper and ER valve pressure modulator, they are designed and manufactured for a middle-sized passenger vehicle, and their field-dependent characteristics are experimentally evaluated. The governing equation of motion for the full-vehicle is then established and integrated with the governing equations of the ER suspension and ER brake. Subsequently, a sky-hook controller for the ER suspension and a sliding mode controller for the ER brake are formulated and implemented. Control performances such as vertical displacement and braking distance of vehicle are evaluated under various driving conditions through computer simulations.

Numerous devices exist for reducing or eliminating seismic damage to structures. These include passive dampers, semi-active dampers, and active control devices. The performance of structural systems with these devices has often been evaluated using numerical simulations. Experiments on structural systems with these devices, particularly at large-scale, are lacking. This paper describes a real-time hybrid testing facility that has been developed at the Lehigh University NEES Equipment Site. The facility enables real-time large-scale experiments to be performed on structural systems with rate-dependent devices, thereby permitting a more complete evaluation of the seismic performance of the devices and their effectiveness in seismic hazard reduction. The hardware and integrated control architecture for hybrid testing developed at the facility are presented. An application involving the use of passive elastomeric dampers in a three story moment resisting frame subjected to earthquake ground motions is presented. The experiment focused on a test structure consisting of the damper and diagonal bracing, which was coupled to a nonlinear analytical model of the remaining part of the structure (i.e., the moment resisting frame). A tracking indictor is used to track the actuator ability to achieve the command displacement during a test, enabling the quality of the test results to be assessed. An extension of the testbed to the real-time hybrid testing of smart structures with semi-active dampers is described.

This paper proposes an integrated approach, which is independent of specimen geometry and loading type, for predicting the fatigue life of spot welded specimens. We first establish finite element models reflecting the actual specimen behaviors observed on the experimental load-deflection curves of 4 types of single spot welded specimens. Using finite element models elaborately established, we then evaluate fracture parameter J-integral to describe the effects of specimen geometry and loading type on the fatigue life in a comprehensive manner. It is confirmed, however, that J-integral concept alone is insufficient to clearly explain the generalized relationship between load and fatigue life of spot welded specimens. On this ground, we introduce another effective parameter $J_e$ composed of $J_I$, $J_{II}$, $J_{III}$, which has been demonstrated here to more sharply define the relationship between load and fatigue life of 4 types of spot welded specimens. The crack surface displacement method is adopted for decomposition of J, and the mechanism of the mixed mode fracture is also discussed in detail as a motivation of using $J_e$.

An accurate plate theory for assessing sandwich structures is of interest in order to provide precise results. Hence, this paper develops Layer-Wise (LW) theory for reaching precise results in terms of buckling and vibration behavior of Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Composite (FG-CNTRC) annular nanoplates. Furthermore, for simulating the structure much more realistic, its edges are elastically restrained against in-plane and transverse displacement. The nano structure is integrated with piezoelectric layers. Four distributions of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) along the thickness direction of the core layer are investigated. The Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) is utilized to solve the motion equations of nano structure subjected to the electric field. The influence of various parameters is depicted on both critical buckling load and frequency of the structure. The accuracy of solution procedure is demonstrated by comparing results with classical edge conditions. The results ascertain that the effects of different distributions of CNTs and their volume fraction are significant on the behavior of the system. Furthermore, the amount of in-plane and transverse spring coefficients plays an important role in the buckling and vibration behavior of the nano-structure and optimization of nano-structure design.
