Spatially variable ground motions can be significant on the seismic response of a structure due to the incoherency of the incident wave. Incoherence of the incident wave is resulted from wave passage and wave scattering. In this study, wave passage effect on the response spectrum of a building structure built on a soft soil layer was investigated utilizing a finite element program of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System). P3DASS was developed for the axisymmetric problem in the cylindrical coordinate, but it is modified to apply anti-symmetric input earthquake motions. Study results were compared with the experimental results to verify the reliability of P3DASS program for the shear wave velocity of 250 m/s and the apparent shear wave velocities of 2000-3500 m/s. Studied transfer functions of input motions between surface mat foundation and free ground surface were well-agreed to the experimental ones with a small difference in all frequency ranges, showing some reductions of the transfer function in the high frequency range. Also wave passage effect on the elastic response spectrum reduced the elastic seismic response of a SDOF system somewhat in the short period range.

We present a direct simulation technique for two-dimensional mold-filling simulations of fluids filled with a large number of circular disk-like rigid particles. It is a direct simulation in that the hydrodynamic interaction between particles and fluid is fully considered. We employ a pseudo-concentration method for the evolution of the flow front and the DLM (distributed Lagrangian multipliers)-like fictitious domain method for the implicit treatment of the hydrodynamic interaction. Both methods allow the use of a fixed regular discretization during the entire computation. The discontinuous Galerkin method has been used to solve the concentration evolution equation and the rigid-ring description has been introduced for freely suspended particles. A buffer zone, the gate region of a finite area subject to the uniform velocity profile, has been introduced to put discrete particles into the computational domain avoiding any artificial discontinuity. From example problems of 450 particles, we investigated the particle motion and effects of particles on the flow for both Newtonian and shear-thinning fluid media. We report the prolonged particle movement toward the wall in case of a shear-thinning fluid, which has been interpreted with the shear rate distribution.

In this paper, GUI program for microspeaker system simulation program was developed and verified through closed box, vent box and 6th order bandpass enclosure system. By using the pseudo loudspeaker model concept, TS parameters and rear volume of microspeaker were identified. Their suitabilities were proved by comparing test results with simulations of electrical impedance and sound pressure response curves for the three box types; closed box, vent box and 6th order bandpass box. Also, MSSP was found to be effective regardless of the microspeaker's shape, either circular or rectangular shape. MSSP can be used for the microspeaker system simulation, and can give a general prediction of such as; sound pressure level curve, electrical impedance, diaphragm velocity and displacement curve according to multiple design parameters; diaphragm mass, compliance, force factor, front and rear volume, front and rear port's diameter and length.

Spatial variations of a seismic wave are mainly wave passage and wave scattering. Wave passage effect is produced by changed characteristics of exciting seismic input motions applied to the bedrock. Modified input motions travel horizontally with time differences determined by apparent shear wave velocity of the bedrock. In this study, wave passage effect on the seismic response of a structure-soil system is investigated by modifying the finite element software of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-Dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System) to apply inconsistent (time-delayed) seismic input motions along the soft soil-bedrock interface. Study results show that foundation size affected on the seismic response of a structure excited with inconsistent input motions in the lower period range below 0.5 seconds, and seismic responses of a structure were decreased considerably in the lower period range around 0.05 seconds due to the wave passage. Also, shear wave velocity of the bedrock affected on the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range below 0.3 seconds, with significant reduction of the seismic response for smaller shear wave velocity of the bedrock reaching approximately 20% for an apparent shear wave velocity of 1000m/s at a period of 0.05 seconds. Finally, it is concluded that wave passage effect reduces the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range when the bedrock under a soft soil is soft or the bedrock is located very deeply, and wave passage is beneficial for the seismic design of a short period structure like a nuclear container building or a stiff low-rise building.

In this study, the generalized intensity measure (IM) named I_Npg is analyzed. The recently proposed proxy of the spectral shape named N_pg is the base of this intensity measure, which is similar to the traditional N_p based on the spectral shape in terms of pseudo-acceleration; however, in this case the new generalized intensity measure can be defined through other types of spectral shapes such as those obtained with velocity, displacement, input energy, inelastic parameters and so on. It is shown that this IM is able to increase the efficiency in the prediction of nonlinear behavior of structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. For this work, the efficiency of two particular cases (based on acceleration and velocity) of the generalized I_Npg to predict the peak floor acceleration demands on steel frames under 30 earthquake ground motions with respect to the traditional spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration Sa(T₁) is compared. Additionally, a 3D reinforced concrete building and an irregular steel frame is used as a basis for comparison. It is concluded that the use of velocity and acceleration spectral shape increase the efficiency to predict peak floor accelerations in comparison with the traditional and most used around the world spectral acceleration at first mode of vibration.

An isolated building, composed of superstructure and isolation system which have very different damping properties, is typically non-classical damping system. This results in inapplicability of traditional response spectrum method for isolated buildings. A multidimensional response spectrum method based on complex mode superposition is herein introduced, which properly takes into account the non-classical damping feature in the structure and a new method is developed to estimate velocity spectra from the commonly used displacement or pseudo-acceleration spectra based on random vibration theory. The error of forced decoupling method, an approximated approach, is discussed in the viewpoint of energy transfer. From the base-isolated benchmark model, as a numerical example, application of the procedure is illustrated companying with comparison study of time-history method, forced decoupling method and the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is valid, while forced decoupling approach can't reflect the characteristics of isolated buildings and may lead to insecurity of structures.

본 논문에서는 탄성파 굴절법 탐사자료를 이용하여 천부지층의 속도와 심도를 결정하기 위한 새로운 접근방법을 소개한다. 굴절법 자료로부터 초동을 발췌한 후 실제 합성단면도를 이러한 초동의 시간이동에 해당하는 단위 델타 함수로 대치할 수 있다고 가정하였다. 주시의 계산은 발사법 파선추척을 이용하였다. 감쇠 최소자승법의 적용을 위한 편미분치의 계산은 이론주시의 계산과 동시에 해석적으로 구하였다. 본 역산법은 합성자료와 현장자료에 적용하여 성공적인 결과를 가져왔으며, 초기 가정 모델이 실제 모델과 많이 다르더라도 저주파수 대역에서 매우 양호한 결과를 보여주는 장점을 지닌다.

An upper bound solution is obtained to perform the process analysis of hot strip rolling process. The material flows within the roll bite at various geometries and frictional conditions are obtained from finite element analysis and the typical flow pattern which is necessary to determine the kinematically admissible velocity field is assumed. From the kinematically admissible velocity field, the upper bound energy is calculated and the rolling load, angle of neutral point and forward slip ratio at various operational conditions are obtained from upper bound energy. The process analysis of above mentioned parameters at various operational conditions have provided valuable information which is hard to obtain during rolling operation and the predicted ranges of quantitive values from these analyses lie whthin the bound of actual operational data.

근단층지반운동 (near fault ground motion, NFGM)은 일반적으로 진앙거리가 약 10 km 이내인 지역에서 관측되는 장주기 성분의 펄스 형태를 갖는 지반운동으로서 단층의 파열 진행 방향이 전단파의 진행방향과 일치한다. 이들 두 파가 유사한 속도를 갖을 경우 서로 간섭을 일으키어 펄스 형태의 속도파를 발생시키며 단층에 수직한 방향의 속도성분에서 큰 펄스가 발생한다. 강진 지역에서는 NFGM에 대하여 많은 연구가 수행되었으나 우리나라와 같은 중저진 지역에서는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 최근 국내에서도 NFGM에 대한 모델링을 제시되었다. 따라서 이들이 발생할 경우의 피해에 대해 많은 관심이 고조되고 있다. 최근까지 국내에서 수행된 RC 교각에 대한 내진 실험은 축소 모형의 경우 국내에 있는 진동대 용량의 한계 및 지진에 의한 교각 상부 구조물의 가속력 구현 방법의 어려움 등으로 수행하기 힘든 여건이 있었다. 그리고 주로 원역지진지반가속도 (far fault ground motion, 이후 FFGM)를 모형화한 준정적 (Quasi-static) 혹은 유사동적 (Pseudo-dynamic) 실험으로 이루어져 왔다. 그 결과 RC교각은 내진성능을 위하여 충분한 연성도를 확보하고 있어야 하는데 소성힌지영역 내에 주철근의 겹침이음이 있게 되면 겹침이음부의 조기파괴가 발생하게 되어 세계 각국의 내진설계규정은 교각의 소성힌지구간에서 주철근겹침이음을 금지하고 있다. 따라서, 이 연구는 주철근의 겹침이음을 시험변수로 가진 RC 교각의 내진성능을 근단층지반운동에 대해서 평가하기 위해서 축소모형을 제작하고 진동대 실험을 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 말뚝기초를 대상으로 지반조건을 고려한 동적 수평지반반력계수를 제안하기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 3차원 유한차분 프로그램을 사용하여, 다양한 지반의 전단파 속도에 따라 동적수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 동적 p-y 곡선을 도출하여 동적 수평지반반력계수를 계산하는 데 필요한 보정계수(α)를 산정하였다. 분석결과, 본 연구에서 산정된 보정계수(α)는 기존 도로교 설계기준(2015)에 제시된 획일적인 값(α=2)이 아니라 지반의 전단파 속도와 구속압에 매우 큰 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이를 고려한 함수식으로 제안하였다. 제안된 α의 적용성 분석을 위해 서로 다른 해석 기법(등가정적해석방법과 동적해석방법)에서의 적용성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 보정계수(α)를 사용하는 방법은 기존 동적 수평지반반력계수를 사용하는 방법에 비해 지반-말뚝 시스템의 수평거동 특성을 비교적 적절하게 예측함을 알 수 있었다.
