A fuzzy logic for collision avoiding navigation of marine vehicles is proposed in this paper. VFF(Virtual Force Field) method, which is used widely in the field of mobile robots, is modifiel to apply to marine vehicles. The method is named MVFF (Modified Virtual Force Field) mothod. The MVFF consists of the determination of the heading angles far track-keeping mode ($\psi_{ca}$)and collision avoidance mode ($\psi_{ca}$). The operator can choose the pattern of the track-keeping mode in the proposed algorithm. The collision avoidance algorithm can handle static and/or moving obstacles. These functons are implemented using fuzzy logic. Various simulation results verify the proposed alogorithm.

A method of strength evaluation applying fracture mechanics in the adhesively bonded joints of Al/Steel dissimilar materials was investigated in this paper. Various shapes of adhesively bonded Al/Steel scarf joints focussing on fracture criterion of mixed mode crack were prepared for the static tests. Also, stress intensity factors of the interface cracks in adhesively bonded joints of Al/Steel dissimilar materials were analyzed with 2-dimensional elastic program of boundary element method(BEM), and the experiment of fracture toughness were carried out under various mixed mode conditions. From the results, the fracture criterion and method of strength evaluation by the fracture toughness in adhesively bonded joints of Al/Steel dissimilar materials were proposed.

This paper describes the effect of molding pressure, specimen geometries for Mixed Mode I/II interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites by using asymmetrical double cantilever beam(ADCB) specimen. The value of $G_{I/IIC}$ as a function of various molding pressure is almost same at 307, 431, 585 kPa. However it shows the highest value under 307 kPa molding pressure. The effect of $G_{I/IIC}$ due to the change of initial crack length of ADCB specimen was almost negligible in this study. It turns out that the condition for mix mode quasi-static crack growth in ADCB specimen is the ratio of the crack length to that of the specimen, i.e., ${\alpha}/L<0.4$.

Among various sensitivity evaluation techniques, semi-analytical method(SAM) is quite popular since this method is more advantageous than analytical method(AM) and global finite difference method(FDM). However, SAM reveals severe inaccuracy problem when relatively large rigid body motions are identified fur individual elements. Such errors result from the numerical differentiation of the pseudo load vector calculated by the finite difference scheme. In the present study, an iterative method combined with mode decomposition technique is proposed to compute reliable semi-analytical design sensitivities. The improvement of design sensitivities corresponding to the rigid body mode is evaluated by exact differentiation of the rigid body modes and the error of SAM caused by numerical difference scheme is alleviated by using a Von Neumann series approximation considering the higher order terms for the sensitivity derivatives.

Torsional response of buildings is attributed to poor structural configurations in plan, which arises due to two factors - torsional eccentricity and torsional flexibility. Usually, building codes address effects due to the former. This study examines both of these effects. Buildings with torsional eccentricity (e.g., those with large eccentricity) and with torsional flexibility (those with torsional mode as a fundamental mode) demand large deformations of vertical elements resisting lateral loads, especially those along the building perimeter in plan. Lateral-torsional responses are studied of unsymmetrical buildings through elastic and inelastic analyses using idealised single-storey building models (with two degrees of freedom). Displacement demands on vertical elements distributed in plan are non-uniform and sensitive to characteristics of both structure and earthquake ground motion. Limits are proposed to mitigate lateral-torsional effects, which guides in proportioning vertical elements and restricts amplification of lateral displacement in them and to avoid torsional mode as the first mode. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of multi-storey buildings are used to validate the limits proposed.

쉴드TBM 터널은 NATM 터널과 달리 라이닝이 세그먼트로 분절되어 있다. 따라서 라이닝에 동일 하중이 발생되어도 NATM 터널 라이닝과 쉴드TBM 터널 라이닝의 응력 분포가 다르게 발생된다. 쉴드TBM 터널에서 라이닝에 발생되는 응력을 분석하는 대표적 방법은 연결부를 고려하지 않는 강성일체법과 링간 이음 및 세그먼트 연결을 고려하는 2링 빔스프링 모델이 있다. 본 연구는 라이닝 분절 Segmentaion을 고려한 Break-joint Mode 해석 방법이지만 세그먼트 라이닝 연결부의 구조적 역할을 고려하지 않고 마찰력 성분인 수직강성과 전단강성 만 도입된 쉘 인터페이스 요소를 이용한 모델링을 적용하여 진동하중 발생 시 라이닝의 응력 및 변위에 대한 응답결과를 분석했다. 토압 등 정적 하중에 대해 천 정부에서 가장 큰 응력이 발생되는 강성일체법과 달리 본 연구의 해석방법에 의해 발생된 세그먼트 라이닝 응력 분포는 세그먼트 연결부가 집중된 천정부 Key 세그먼트에서 가장 작은 응력이 발생하였고 연결부를 경계로 응력의 분포가 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 그리고 정적 해석 결과는 강성일체법에 발생된 라이닝 응력이 본 연구 방법에 의해 발생된 세그먼트 라이닝의 응력에 비해 최대 7배의 큰 응력이 발생되었다. 이러한 결과는 세그먼트 연결부를 고려한 기존의 2링 빔-스프링 모델의 응력분포 양상과 일치하는 결과다. 그러나 열차 진동하중에 대한 응력값은 Break-joint Mode로 해석한 본 연구방법의 응력이 강성일체법에 비해 더 큰 응력을 발생되었다. 이는 짧은 부재들의 조합으로 이루어진 세그먼트 Ring이 원주방향으로 일체로 되어 부재의 길이가 상대적으로 더 긴 강성일체법 결과에 비해 더 작은 응력이 발생되는 정역학적 개념과 상이한 결과다. 진동하중에 대해 Break-joint Mode에서 세그먼트 라이닝에 응력이 더 크게 발생된 원인은 부재의 고유주기, 감쇠비 등 동역학적 요인의 차이보다는 열차 진동하중에 대해 라이닝에 발생되는 변위의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단되지만 이에 대한 증명은 추후의 과제로 남겨두었다. 본 연구 방법의 Break-joint Mode를 이용하면 정지상태의 열차 하중에 의해 발생되는 라이닝의 응력과 변위값을 비교하여 쉴드TBM 터널의 충격계수(DIF)를 비교적 간단하게 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구는 쉴드TBM 터널의 Segmentaion을 고려한 3차원 모델링으로 추후 지진파 등 다양한 하중조건의 검토를 통해 기존 해석방법 결과와 비교하여 모델링의 추가적 신뢰성을 확보할 필요가 있다.

Press fitting method for joining of a hybrid tube and steel ring with small teeth for automotive aluminum/composite hybrid propeller shaft was devised to improve reliability and to reduce manufacturing cost, compared to other joining methods such as an adhesively bonded joint, bolted joint or welded joint. To obtain high strength of the press fit joint, an optimal design method for the teeth was devised with respect to number and shape of the steel teeth. Torsional static, fatigue tests and finite element analysis of the press fit joint were performed with respect to experimental variables. The developed optimal design method predicted well the static torque capability and failure mode of the press fit joint. Also, it provided design guide line of press fit joint for improving torsional static and fatigue characteristics.

We evaluate the durability of vehicle chassis component under dynamic loadings. Since the fatigue analysis of vehicle component is based on the dynamic load history it must be done by dynamic analysis. But in case the vehicle component has natural frequencies much larger than reversing frequencies of load history, we can get small analysis errors by applying quasi-static analysis. So it is inefficient that we apply to the dynamic analysis for all the vehicle components. In this research, we discuss the quasi-static analysis method which is appropriate for the fatigue analysis. And in case we can only perform the fatigue analysis based on dynamic analysis, we introduce more efficient method in the analysis time and hard disk storage.

This paper investigates the natural modes and static reponses of modularized floating structure. As an example structure, a floating parking place$(120m{\times}60m)$ is considered. In the evaluation of natural modes and static responses, numerical equations are formulated by FEM(Finite Element Method) and the natural modes are solved by subspace iteration method. By comparing responses of structures of various sizes of module unit, the effect of unit size is also investigated.

This article deals with the buckling behaviour of multilayered magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) plate subjected to uniaxial and biaxial compressive (in-plane) loads. The constitutive equations of MEE material are used to derive a finite element (FE) formulation involving the coupling between electric, magnetic and elastic fields. The displacement field corresponding to first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been employed. The in-plane stress distribution within the MEE plate existing due to the enacted force is considered to be equivalent to the applied in-plane compressive load in the pre-buckling range. The same stress distribution is used to derive the potential energy functional. The non-dimensional critical buckling load is accomplished from the solution of allied linear eigenvalue problem. Influence of stacking sequence, span to thickness ratio, aspect ratio, load factor and boundary condition on critical buckling load and their corresponding mode shape is investigated. In addition, static deflection of MEE plate under the sinusoidal and the uniformly distributed load has been studied for different stacking sequences and boundary conditions.
