The inelastic buckling behaviour of continuously restrained two and three-span continuous beams subjected to concentrated loads and uniformly distributed loads are studied in this paper. The restraint type considered in this paper is fully restrained against translation and elastic twist applied at the top flange. These types of restraints are most likely experienced in industrial structures, for example steel-concrete composite beams and half through girders. The buckling analysis of continuous beam consists of two parts, firstly the moment and shear distribution along the member are determined by employing force method and the information is then used for an out-of-plane buckling analysis. The finite element method is incorporated with so-called simplified and the polynomial pattern of residual stress. Owing to the inelastic response of the steel, both the in-plane and out-of-plane analysis, which is treated as being uncoupled, extend into the nonlinear range. This paper presents the results of inelastic lateral-torsional and lateral-distortional buckling load and finally conclusions are drawn regarding the web distortion.

Eigenvalue analysis of a wind turbine system was investigated analytically. It is derived that the equations of motion of a tower and a blade are coupled by shear forces inter-connected by boundary conditions. The eigenvalues of the coupled system was calculated using Galerkin method and it is found that the system becomes unstable when the tower and blade modes are coalesced. Further, parameter studies for the eigenvalues were performed with respect to the rotating speed of a blade, nacelle mass, blade and tower densities.

In this paper, a simplified evaluation method of the skeleton curve for reinforced concrete (RC) frame with unreinforced masonry (URM) infill is proposed in a practical form, based on the previous studies. The backbone curve for RC boundary frame was modeled by a tri-linear envelope with cracking and yielding points. On the other hand, that of URM infill was modeled by representative characteristic points of cracking, maximum, and residual strength; also, the interaction effect between RC boundary frame and the infill was taken into account. The overall force-displacement envelopes by the sum of RC boundary frame and URM infill, where the backbone curves of the infill from other studies were also considered, were then compared with the previous experimental results. The simplified estimation results from this study were found to almost approximate the overall experimental results with conservative evaluations, and they showed much better agreement than the cases employing the infill envelopes from other studies.

The spot welding method has been used in the joining of structures, automotive body, railway carriage, aircraft, household electric appliances, precision parts etc., because of brief working, easy automation, available mass production, and convenience. In this paper, the effects of welding conditions on the fatigue life and the prediction of fatigue life based on fracture mechanics theory of spot welded joint were investigated. Fatigue tests were conducted with the tensile-shear specimens welded in the various current using cold rolled steel sheets. Fatigue life of spot welded joint was predicted and compared with experimental results. Using FEM(finite element method), we analysed the distribution of stress and the condition of deformation on the environments of nugget.

In this paper, a new damage detection and quantification method has been presented to perform detection and quantification of structural damage under ambient vibration loadings. To extract modal properties of the structural system under ambient excitation, natural excitation technique (NExT) and eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) are employed. Sensitivity matrices of the dynamic residual force vector have been derived and used in the parameter subset selection method to identify multiple damaged locations. In the sequel, the steady state genetic algorithm (SSGA) is used to determine quantified levels of the identified damage by minimizing errors in the modal flexibility matrix. In this study, performance of the proposed damage detection and quantification methodology is evaluated using a finite element model of a truss structure with considerations of possible experimental errors and noises. A series of numerical examples with five different damage scenarios including a challengingly small damage level demonstrates that the proposed methodology can efficaciously detect and quantify damage under noisy ambient vibrations.

This study performed by a previous research for the applying expert system to active vibration control algorithm. In order to increase productivity and efficiency, high-speed rotating machines become popular these days. They are likely to vibrate and cause machine failure even though they have small unbalance. Therefore, a high-speed rotating machine needs a balancing technique. ISO 11342 classifies flexible rotors in accordance with their balancing requirements and establishes methods of assessment of residual unbalance. But, even if they finished balancing work, they have harmful effect vibration under the high-speed rotating environment. This vibration effect is very small, but it must be removed for the improvement of the rotor's spin accuracy. This paper introduces a new active control method that remove the exciting force by a phase control. For this method, the high-speed rotating rotor was reconstructed by a flexible rotor model. The forces which excite the rotating system suppose cyclic forces, we obtain the responses by numerical method. And then through the pattern analysis about the vibraton responses, the controler generate the control force with the reverse phase and similar magnitude. This paper suggest an phase control method and shows how to improve the rotating vibration accuracy of the flexible rotor dynamics system using phase control method.

It is generally known that the PRAT(Plysteer Residual Aligning Torque) is one of indicating a performance factors of a tire for assessing the vehicle pull, also tire pattern shape, which means lateral groove angle, is very important tire design factor in relation to the PRAT. Lateral grooves of tire pattern are widely divided into center and shoulder parts. So, this paper has studied the correlation between the PRAT and their lateral groove angles using FEM. Especially, the steady state rolling analysis among tire rolling analysis methods has been used for the PRAT performance study. Firstly, analysis result data have been compared with the experimental data to validate FE analysis for PRAT. Next, the PRAT due to the lateral groove angle about PCR(Passenger Car Radial) tire and SUV tire has been analyzed. The tendency of the PRAT due to the lateral groove angles can be used as a guide line for the tire design in relation to vehicle pull.

본 연구에서는 2차원 비선형 방사문제에 대한 정확하고 효과적인 수치기법을 개발하였다. 물체운동에 의해서 생성되는 비선형파계는 이상유체라는 가정에 의하여 기술되고, 라프라스 방정식은 고차경계요소법과 GMRES(Generalized Minimal RESidual) 알고리즘을 이용하여 신속하고 효율적인 풀이가 가능하도록 하였다. 자유표면과 물체면의 교차점에서 발생하는 교차선문제는 불연속 요소를 이용하여 원활하게 해결하였다. 자유표면의 비선형운동을 기술하기 위해서 음해적 사다리꼴 법칙(implicit trapezoidal rule)을 사용하여 시적분하였다. 물체에 의해서 발생한 비선형파가 수직 하류면에서 반사하는 것을 줄이기 위하여 하류면에 수치감쇠항을 도입하였다. 수치계산 결과로부터 본 시적분법 및 수치방사조건이 비선형 방사문제에 매우 적합함을 확인하였다. 시적분 과정에서 자유표면의 격자점들을 재배치함으로써 수치해법의 효율성을 배가하였으며, 교차점근처의 유동 또한 정확하게 기술하였다. 가속도 포텐셜(acceleration potential) 기법을 이용하여 정확하고 안정하게 비선형 방사력을 구하였다. 본 수치계산결과는 다른 수치계산 및 실험결과와 비교하여 볼 때, 좋은 일치를 보인다.
