To evaluate inelastic seismic responses of multi-span bridge structures, the capacity spectrum method(CSM) incorporating the equivalent single-degree-of freedom(ESDOF) method is presented. Application of the CSM incorporating the ESDOF method is illustrated by example analysis for symmetric and asymmetric bridge structures. To investigate an accuracy of the CSM, the maximum displacements estimated by the CSM are compared to those by inelastic time history analysis for several artificial earthquakes. The results show that the CSM provided conservative estimates of the maximum displacements for the symmetric and asymmetric bridge structures, and the trend of conservative estimates of the asymmetric bridge structures was significantly larger than that of the symmetric bridge structure.

A total of 134 patients with stage 1 of non-small cell lung cancer treated by carbon ion beam of HIMAC NIRS were investigated for control rate and delivered dose. The delivered dose of every patient was converted to biological effective dose (BED) of LQ model using fraction number, dose per fraction and alpha beta ratio which shows the maximum correlation between BED and tumor control. The BED of every patient was classified to establish a BED response curve for control. Assuming fraction numbers, dose response curves were introduced from BED response curve. The total doses to realize several control rates were obtained for the treatment of small fraction number.

This paper considers a modeling and identification for the MIMO magnetic bearing system. To obtain the nominal plant transfer functions, we have experimented on the frequency response by a closed-loop identification method because the system is unstable essentially. We suggest a method of curve-fitting for obtaining the transfer function from the frequency responses by using the system's modeling structure and two controllers which are different from each other. From the frequency response results, we found the effects of coupling by opposing controllers. And using this effects and the system's modeling structure, we could obtain the transfer functions of which have the same modularized denominators.

This study presents a numerical procedure to optimize the compressor design to increase the surge margin of compressor with response surface method (RSM). The Box-Behnken design method is used to reduce the number of calculation for fitting the second-order response surface. In order to consider the increase of surge margin during numerical optimization without any calculation at the surge point, the slope of compressor characteristic curve at the design point is suggested as an objective function in the present optimization problem. Mean line performance analysis method is used to get the design and off-design characteristic curves of centrifugal compressor. The impeller exit angle, impeller exit height and impeller radius are chosen as design variables. The optimum shapes show the increase of surge margin for the surge margin optimization and increase of efficiency for the efficiency optimization in comparison with an initial shape.

Such sulfur-containing drugs as chlorpromazine, sulfonamides and thiazides were determined by gas chromatography with flame photometric detector (FPD) and flame ionization detector (FID). 0.6% QF-1 or 3% SE-30 on Chromosorb WAWDMCS were found suitable for drugs listed above. In the experimental conditions given maximum response the FPD response and the response ratio of FPD increased with the number of sulfur atom per molecule. It was possible to obtain a linear calibration curve from $10^{-9}$ / mole to $2{\times}10^{-8}$ / mole and to analyze variety of sulfur drugs by the calibration curve of one sulfur standard.

This paper evaluates the seismic response of three dimensional steel space buildings using the spread plastic hinge approach. A numerical study was carried out in which a sample steel space building was selected for pushover analysis and incremental nonlinear dynamic time history analysis. For the nonlinear analysis, three earthquake acceleration records were selected to ensure compatibility with the design spectrum defined in the Turkish Earthquake Code. The interstorey drift, capacity curve, maximum responses and dynamic pushover curves of the building were obtained. The analysis results were compared and good correlation was obtained between the idealized dynamic analyses envelopes with and static pushover curves for the selected building. As a result to more accurately account response of steel buildings, dynamic pushover envelopes can be obtained and compared with static pushover curve of the building.

Optimum design of the tooth surface for the reduction of transmission error is very difficult to determine analytically due to nonlinearity of transmission error under the several load condition. The design of tooth surface that can give a low noise under the various load condition is very important. Therefore, this study proposes the method to determine the optimal lead curve and robust design of the tooth surface by using the response surface method. To do so, the design variables are selected by a screening experiment. Then the fitted regression model Is built with the check of the usefulness of the model. The model with constraints is solved to obtain the optimum values for the lead curve and the robust design fur the tooth surface.

We studied adaptive response in CHL cells by benzidine dihydrochloride, a derivative of benzidine, which was a major mutagenic agent in dye industry. Chromosome aberration analysis was used for the identification of adaptive response to this mutagen. Adaptive and reactive doses were confirmed by cell proliferation rate curve. Cell proliferation rate curve was obtained from the mitotic indices of cells treated with various concentrations of benzidine dihydrochloride for 24 hours. Marked adaptive responses to benzidine dihydrochloride in the induction of chromosome aberration were observed in CHL cells by pre-treatment with low concentrations of benzidine dihydrochloride (0.0047 mg/$m\ell$ or 0.0094 mg/$m\ell$) for 24 hours following post-treatment with high concentrations (0.0187, 0.0375, 0.075, 0.15 mg/$m\ell$) for 24 hours. These adaptive responses were found mostly in the type of chromatid breaks and chromatid exchanges. There is no difference in these results between two adaptive doses, 0.0047 mg/$m\ell$ and 0.0094 mg/$m\ell$. The amount of adaptive response, however, was dependent on post-treatment doses.

Many experimental and analytical studies have been conducted with beam-column subassemblages composed of a two-span beam to investigate the progressive collapse resistance of RC frames. Most study results reveal a strength-decreased transition phase in the nonlinear static load-deflection curve, which may induce dynamic snap-through response and increase the chord rotation demand for effective catenary action (ECA). In this study, the nonlinear static response is idealized as a piecewise linear curve and analytical pseudo-static response is derived for each linearized region to investigate the rotation demands for the ECA of the two-span RC beams. With analytical parameters determined from several published test results, numerical analysis results indicate that the rotation demand of 0.20 rad recommended in the design guidelines does not always guarantee the ECA. A higher rotation demand may be induced for the two-span beams designed with smaller span-to-depth ratios and it is better to use their peak arch resistance (PAR) as the collapse strength. A tensile reinforcement ratio not greater than 1.0% and a span-to-depth ratio not less than 7.0 are suggested for the two-span RC beams bridging the removed column if the ECA is expected for the collapse resistance. Also, complementary pseudo-static analysis is advised to verify the ECA under realistic dynamic column loss even though the static PAR is recovered in the nonlinear static response. A practical empirical formula is provided to estimate an approximate rotation demand for the ECA.

In the present study a parametric analysis is conducted to study the effect of pile dimension and soil properties on the nonlinear dynamic response of pile subjected to lateral sinusoidal load at the pile head. The study is conducted on soil-pile model of different pile diameter, pile length and soil modulus, and results are compared to get the effect. The soil-pile system is modelled using Finite element method. The programming is done in MATLAB. Time history analysis of model is done for varying non-dimensional frequency of load and the results are compared to get the non-dimensional frequency at which pile head displacement is maximum in each case. Maximum possible bending moment and soil-pile interacting forces for the dynamic excitation of the pile is also compared. When results are compared with the linear response, it is observed that non-dimensional frequency is reduced in nonlinear response on account of reduction in the soil stiffness due to yielding. Nonlinear response curve shows high amplitude as compared to linear response curve.
