In most framed structures the nonlinearities and the damages are localized, extending over a limited length of the structural member. In order to capture the details of the local damage, the segments of a member that have entered the nonlinear range may need to be analyzed using the three-dimensional element (3D) model whereas the rest of the member can be analyzed using the simpler one-dimensional (1D) element model with fewer degrees of freedom. An Element-Coupling model was proposed to couple the small scale solid 3D elements with the large scale 1D beam elements. The mixed dimensional coupling is performed imposing the kinematic coupling hypothesis of the 1D model on the interfaces of the 3D model. The analysis results are compared with test results of a reinforced concrete pipe column and a structure consisting of reinforced concrete columns and a steel space truss subjected to static and dynamic loading. This structure is a reduced scale model of a direct air-cooled condenser support platform built in a thermal power plant. The reduction scale for the column as well as for the structure was 1:8. The same structures are also analyzed using 3D solid elements for the entire structure to demonstrate the validity of the Element-Coupling model. A comparison of the accuracy and the computational effort indicates that by the proposed Element-Coupling method the accuracy is almost the same but the computational effort is significantly reduced.

A simplified method is presented for the computation of eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives associated with repeated eigenvalues. In the proposed method, adjacent eigenvectors and orthonormal conditions are used to compose an algebraic equation whose order is (n+m)x(n+m), where n is the number of coordinates and m is the number of multiplicity of the repeated eigenvalue. One algebraic equation developed can be computed eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives simultaneously. Since the coefficient matrix of the proposed equation is symmetric and based on N-space, this method is very efficient compared to previous methods. Moreover the numerical stability of the method is guaranteed because the coefficient matrix of the proposed equation is non-singular, This method can be consistently applied to both structural systems with structural design parameters and mechanical systems with lumped design parameters. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the finite element model of the cantilever beam and a 5-DOF mechanical system in the case of a non-proportionally damped system are considered as numerical examples. The design parameter of the cantilever beam is its width, and that of the 5-DOF mechanical system is a spring.

This paper presents a finite element method to analyze the free and forced vibration of a hard disk drive (HDD) considering the flexibility of a spinning disk-spindle with fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs), an actuator with pivot bearings, an air bearing between head-disk interface and the base with complicated geometry. Finite element equation of each component is consistently derived with the satisfaction of the geometric compatibility of the internal boundary between each component. The spinning disk, hub and FDBs are modeled by annular sector elements, beam elements and stiffness and damping elements, respectively. The actuator am, E-block, suspension and base plate are modeled by tetrahedral elements. The pivot bearing in the actuator and the air bearing between head-disk interfaces are modeled by the stiffness element with five degrees of freedom and the axial stiffness, respectively. A global matrix equation obtained by assembling the finite element equations of each substructure is transformed to a state-space matrix-vector equation, and both damped natural frequencies and modal damping ratios are calculated by solving the associated eigenvalue problem with the restarted Arnoldi iteration method. Modal and shock testing are performed to show that the proposed method well predicts the vibration characteristics of a HDD.

본 논문에서는 선형 위상 배열 안테나 패턴 합성 문제에서, 주 빔 패턴 양쪽에 임의로 설정한 비대칭 sidelobe 레벨(SLL)들을 만족시키는 안테나 소자 가중치들을 계산하는 방법을 새로이 제안한다. 소자 가중치들을 배열인자로부터 직접 최적화하는 기존의 방법들과는 달리, 이 방법은 배열 인자를 표현하는 Schelkunoff 다항식에 내재된 복소근의 최적 섭동에 기본을 둔다. 제안한 방법으로부터 여러 개의 jammer들의 방향으로 다중 nulling도 가능하며, 이는 각 jamming 방향에 대응하는 복소근들만의 독립적인 섭동에 의해 이루어진다. 따라서 해 공간차원의 적절한 감소에 의해 수치적 절차가 간소화될 수 있다. 또한 배열 소자들의 복소 가중치들은 최적 섭동된 복소근들을 Schelkunoff 다항식에 대입함으로써 쉽게 계산된다. 몇 가지 예를 들어 검토하고, 도출된 가중치들을 배열 인자 방정식에 대입함으로써 타당성을 수치적으로 검증한다.

The design provisions for semi-rigid steel frames have been incorporated in codes of practice for steel structures. In order to do the same, it is necessary to know the experimental moment-relative rotation (M-${\theta}_r$) behaviour of beam-to-column connections. In spite of numerous publications and collection of several connection databases, there is no unified approach for the semi-rigid design of steel frames. Amongst the many connection models available, the Frye-Morris polynomial model, with its limitations reported in the literature, is simple to adopt at least for the linear design space. However this model requires more number of connection tests and regression analyses to make it a realistic prediction model. In this paper, 3D nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis of beam-column connection specimens, carried out using ABAQUS software, for evaluating the M-${\theta}_r$ behaviour of semi-rigid top and seat-angle (TSA) bolted connections are described. The finite element model is validated against experimental behaviour of the same connection with regard to their moment-rotation behaviour, stress distribution and mode of failure of the connections. The calibrated FE model is used to evaluate the performance of the Frye-Morris polynomial model. The results of the numerical parametric studies carried out using the validated FE model have been used in proposing modifications to the Frye-Morris model for TSA connection in terms of the powers of the size parameters.

To overcome many defects such as the high product cost, large energy consumption, and big space capacity in conventional mechanical machining, the miniaturization of machine tool and micro factory systems has been envisioned recently. The object of this paper is to research the effect of dynamic characteristic parameters in bolted-joint beams, which is widely applied to the joining of mechanical structures in order to identify structural system characteristics and to predict dynamic behavior according to scale-down from macro to micro system as the development of micro/meso-scale machine tool and micro factories. Modal parameters such as the natural frequency, damping ratio, and mode shape from modal testing and dynamic characteristics from finite element analysis are extracted with all 12 test beam models by materials, by size, and by joining condition, and then the results obtained by both methods are compared.

Radiography is one of the important tool adopted in daily dental practice and medical diagnosis. To visualize soft tissuechange various contrast media has Been introduced. Any cavity or space can be easily determined by increasing the X-ray absorption of the cavity using the radiopaque contrast media which widely employed in medical radiography to show much of the digestive, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal system. The essential part of any radiopaque medium is a heavy element that can absoarb most of the X-ray beam. The element must be noninjurious and easily eliminated. Both aqueous and oil suspensions of iodine containing compounds' are available to the dental profession, for example Lipiodol and Dionosil. The study was designed to determine toxic effect of Lipiodol to the vital pulp and to confirm visualization ioprovement in pulp canal. 1. Thin mixture of Calcium hydroxide and Lipiodol was applied to 19 deep vital cavities for 24 hours. Only one case complained slight pain for short time. 2. Cotton pellet over-saturated in Lipiodol was inserted in coronal chamber of which 6 were non vital and 5 were vital. The transference of Lipiodol was not noticed in every case after 24 hours. 5 cases with vital pulp tissue in the canals showed no clinical symptome. 3. Extracted 20 teeth were routinely prepared for endodontic treatment and applied Lipiodol in conjunction with cotton fiber as deep as midportion of the roots. After 24, hours the medicament reached to nearly the end of apex, but there were no evidence of penetration in dentine layer and migrate into ramified canal.

적층된 복합재 구조물의 강도와 강성 저하를 발생시키는 중요원인 중의 하나는 복합재 층 사이에 발생하는 층간 분리이다. 적용되는 대부분의 복합재 구조물은 어느 정도 곡률을 가지고 있다. 만약 굽은 복합재 구조물이 굽힘 하중을 받게 되면 평평하게 되려는 현상 때문에 두께 방향의 수직응력이 발생하게 되며, 최대 응력이 발생되는 곳에서 층간 분리가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 굽은 복합적층 보의 반경방향 응력을 결정하는 방법을 설명하고, 층간 분리 응력에 미치는 적층 순서의 영향을 검토하였다. 그리고 층간분리 응력의 크기와 위치를 이론적인 해와 유한요소 방법을 이용하여 해석하고 비교하였다.
