This paper presents the investigation of the stochastic responses of seismically isolated bridges subjected to spatially varying earthquake ground motions including incoherence, wave-passage and site-response effects. The incoherence effect is examined by considering Harichandran and Vanmarcke coherency model. The effect of the wave-passage is dealt with various wave velocities in the response analysis. Homogeneous firm, medium and soft soil conditions are selected for considering the site-response effect where the bridge supports are constructed. The ground motion is described by filtered white noise and applied to each support points. For seismic isolation of the bridge, single and double concave friction pendulum bearings are used. Due to presence of friction on the concave surfaces of the isolation systems, the equation of motion of is non-linear. The non-linear equation of motion is solved by using equivalent linearization technique of non-linear stochastic analyses. Solutions obtained from the stochastic analyses of non-isolated and isolated bridges to spatially varying earthquake ground motions compared with each other for the special cases of the ground motion model. It is concluded that friction pendulum systems having single and double concave surfaces have important effects on the stochastic responses of bridges to spatially varying earthquake ground motions.

대파고 파랑중을 항해하는 선박은 큰 선체 운동으로 인하여 수면하 단면 형상이 시시각각 크게 변하므로 자유 표면 조건, 물체 표면 조건의 비선형성에 의한 비선형 유체력의 영향이 무시될 수 없게 된다. 경우에 따라서는 선저가 파면으로부터 충격력을 받는 슬래밍 현상과 선수가 파도를 뒤집어 쓰는 청파 현상등과 같은 충격적 유체력이 선체에 가해지는 등 복잡한 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 선체를 가변 단면보의 탄성체로 이상화하여 파랑중 선체 거동을 박육 단면보 이론에 의해 정식화하고 파랑 하중으로는 수면하 단면 형상 변화에 따른 비선형 유체력과 momentum slamming이론을 이용한 유체 충격력을 고려하여 대파고 파랑 중 탄성체인 선체의 응답을 추정하는 해석 기법을 개발하여 이를 기존의 실험결과와 비교 그 타당성을 확인하고, 이의 응용으로 본 기법에 의하여 4만톤급 정유 운반선에 적용하여 정면파 및 사파중에서 파고, 파장, 선속을 파라미터로 한 수치 계산을 수행하고 여러가지 파라미터 변화에 대한 선체 구조의 동적 강도 응답 특성을 계통적으로 분석하여 보았다. 본 연구에서 개발된 동적강도 해석법은 대파고 중에서 유체력의 비선형성 및 유체 충격력까지 고려한 해석기법이므로 신구조 방식 선박에 대한 직접 설계법의 확립 뿐만 아니라 슬래밍 등에 의한 선체 절손 사고의 원인 규명에도 유용하게 적용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) are usually generated by nonlinear process on linear internal waves (IW). Near HengChun Ridge that links Taiwan and Luzon Islands, we found that there are linear internal waves following NLIW and they travel westward at different speed, about 1.5 m/s for IW and 2.9 m/s for NLIW. This phenomenon was observed on site with ship radar and echo sounders, and later verified with thermistor chain. West of Luzon Strait, the separation of NLIW are 5 km or more, while linear internal waves are lines of wave crests at nearly equal distance that is only a few hundred meters apart. The current hypothesis is that most of the energy of internal tide forms a beam that propagates upward from the eastern shoulder of ocean ridge and later interacts with sea surface and thermocline. The interaction with thermocline generates linear internal wave that propagate along the pycnocline at about 1.5 m/s. The interaction with sea surface scatters internal wave energy downward, ensonifies the water column and generates large nonlinear waves that propagate westward at 2.9 m/s as mode 1 in a waveguide.

The purpose of this study is to suggest guidelines for riser fatigue analysis in terms of selection of reasonable analysis method. Three analysis methods (spectral, regular wave, rain-flow counting) are introduced and compared. As the riser systems give non-linear response, the time-domain analysis method is more preferred than frequency-domain analysis method. The spectral fatigue analysis method, however, is still useful for identifying fatigue prone areas. Once stress RAO is established, fatigue damage can be calculated very quickly. The regular wave method and the rain-flow counting method are more time consuming but give more exact results compare to spectral method. In case of regular wave method, a set of regular waves which represent random sea states is considered for dynamic analysis. The rain-flow counting method is the most intuitive and exact method because it refers time history stresses containing most of non-linear effects of the riser system. However, it is not common for early design stage to use rain-flow counting method because of its high cost. In this study, it was confirmed that the regular wave method is the most cost effective way in specific cases. However, if the system is highly non-linear, it seems that the regular wave method gives less accurate results than rain-flow counting method. Therefore, it is imperative that the engineers select appropriate analysis method based on design stage and given engineering period. This paper also discusses the theoretical background of each calculation method and hydrodynamic aspects of marine riser systems. A steel catenary riser (SCR) line on FPSO was considered and marine dynamic program (OrcaFlex) was used for static and dynamic analysis.

In this paper, finite element method is applied for the numerical analysis of wave height distribution. The mild-slope equation is used as the basic equation. The key of this model is to impose the effect of nonlinear waves. Numerical results are presented and agreed well with the results from experimental measurements and other numerical analysis. The present method to determine wave height distribution can be broadly utilized for the analysis of new harbor and port designs in the future.

암석과는 달리 절리암반은 변형률 의존적 변형특성(탄성계수 및 감쇠비)을 나타낸다. 탄성파를 이용한 현장실험을 통해 미소변형률 수준에서 암반의 최대탄성계수를 얻을 수 있으며 이를 내진 설계에 반영하고 있으나, 미소 변형률 이상의 중변형률($10^{-4}{\sim}0.5%$) 영역의 동적거동에 대한 실험적인 규명과 이에 대한 수치적 적용은 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 변형률 의존적 전단탄성계수 및 감쇠비의 비선형 거동 특성을 반영하여 동적해석을 수행할 수 있는 FLAC3D 해석 모듈을 개발하였다. 리커 웨이브의 파동 변화를 분석하여 개발된 모듈에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 절리 암반의 탄성파 전파특성과 동적 거동특성을 모사할 수 있는 절리암반 공진주 시험장비를 통하여 현장에서 채취한 절리암반의 변형률 의존적 전단탄성 계수의 감쇠 특성과 감쇠비의 증폭 특성을 획득하였다. 개발된 비선형 해석 모듈에 실험으로부터 획득된 거동 특성을 반영하여 수직구와 사갱의 접속부에 대한 내진 안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 내진해석 결과, 비선형 해석이 선형 해석보다 더 큰 연직변위와 수평변위 결과를 나타냈다. 라이닝의 휨압축응력은 수직구과 사갱의 접속부에서 집중되는 것으로 나타났으며 비선형해석의 경우 라이닝에 더 큰 휨압축응력이 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 변형률 의존적 절리암반의 비선형 거동특성을 보다 깊이 있게 이해하고 해석 및 설계시 고려할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

To design a coastal structure in the nearshore region, engineers must have means to estimate wave climate. Waves, approaching the surf zone from offshore, experience changes caused by combined effects of bathymetric variations, interference of man-made structure, and nonlinear interactions among wave trains. This paper has attempted to find out the effects of two of the more subtle phenomena involving nonlinear shallow water waves, amplitude dispersion and secondary wave generation. Boussinesq-type equations can be used to model the nonlinear transformation of surface waves in shallow water due to effect of shoaling, refraction, diffraction, and reflection. In this paper, generalized Boussinesq equations under the complex bottom condition is derived using the depth averaged velocity with the series expansion of the velocity potential as a product of powers of the depth of flow. A time stepping finite difference method is used to solve the derived equation. Numerical results are compared to hydraulic model results. The result with the non-linear dispersive wave equation can describe an interesting transformation a sinusoidal wave to one with a cnoidal aspect of a rapid degradation into modulated high frequency waves and transient secondary waves in an intermediate region. The amplitude dispersion of the primary wave crest results in a convex wave front after passing through the shoal and the secondary waves generated by the shoal diffracted in a radial manner into surrounding waters.

In order to provide simple and accurate wave theory in design of offshore structure, an analytical approximation is introduced in this paper. The solution is limited to flat bottom having a constant water depth. Water is considered as inviscid, incompressible and irrotational. The solution satisfies the continuity equation, bottom boundary condition and non-linear kinematic free surface boundary condition exactly. Error for dynamic condition is quite small. The solution is suitable in description of breaking waves. The solution is presented with closed form and dispersion relation is also presented with closed form. In the last century, there have been two main approaches to the nonlinear problems. One of these is perturbation method. Stokes wave and Cnoidal wave are based on the method. The other is numerical method. Dean's stream function theory is based on the method. In this paper, power series method was considered. The power series method can be applied to certain nonlinear differential equations (initial value problems). The series coefficients are specified by a nonlinear recurrence inherited from the differential equation. Because the non-linear wave problem is a boundary value problem, the power series method cannot be applied to the problem in general. But finite number of coefficients is necessary to describe the wave profile, truncated power series is enough. Therefore the power series method can be applied to the problem. In this case, the series coefficients are specified by a set of equations instead of recurrence. By using the set of equations, the nonlinear wave problem has been solved in this paper.

Based on a weakly non-Gaussian theory the occurrence probability of freak waves is formulated in terms of the number of waves in a time series and the surface elevation kurtosis. Finite kurtosis gives rise to a significant enhancement of freak wave generation in comparison with the linear narrow banded wave theory. For fixed number of waves, the estimated amplification ratio of freak wave occurrence due to the deviation from the Gaussian theory is 50% - 300%. The results of the theory are compared with laboratory and field data.

Imperfectly jointed interface serves as mechanical waveguide for elastic waves and gives rise to two distinct kinds of guided wave propagating along the interface. Contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN) is known to plays major role in the generation of these interface waves called generalized Rayleigh waves in non-welded interface. Closed crack is modeled as non-welded interface that has nonlinear discontinuity condition in displacement across its boundary. Mathematical analysis of boundary conditions and wave equation is conducted to investigate the dispersive characteristics of the interface waves. Existence of the generalized Rayleigh wave(interface wave) in nonlinear contact interface is verified in theory where the dispersion equation for the interface wave is formulated and analyzed. It reveals that the interface waves have two distinct modes and that the phase velocity of anti-symmetric wave mode is highly dependent on contact conditions represented by linear and nonlinear dimensionless specific stiffness.
