To evaluate aortic wall stiffness without influence of different background blood pressure, a new technique was developed and verified. At eight swine descending aortae, volume-pressure measurement was performed using custom-made system. Based on averaged pressure-volume curve, aortic distensibility index was formulated to evaluate aortic wall stiffness regardless of variable blood pressure and aortic size. The variability of aortic distensibility index by pressure change was compared with other parameters for wall stiffness evaluation. Subsequently, the aortic distensibility index was calculated at 100 contrast-enhanced EBCT data sets of normal volunteers in regular health screening program. The measured aortic distensibility index was compared with age, coronary calcium score, and aortic calcium score. Between 50 and 360 mmHg of blood pressure, the coefficient of variance of aortic distensibility index was 22.00% as comparing with 88.99% of classical compliance. Based on age, aortic distensibility index showed correlation coefficient of 0.55, whereas classical compliance showed 0.26. The correlation coefficient with modified aortic calcification was 0.43. Linear regression study revealed statistical significance of correlation coefficients. The aortic distensibility index, the method to evaluate aortic wall stiffness free from variable blood pressure and aortic size, was developed and verified with significant practical feasibility.

수렴-제한법은 수학적 모델 및 지반응답곡선을 통하여 터널안정조건을 평가하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 수치적 모델에 의하여 수렴-제한법을 검토하였다. 이 방법은 수학적 모델을 위한 기본가정이 필요 없고, 일반 형태의 터널에 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구결과에 따르면 2차원 수치해석에서 사용되는 숏크리트 강성변화 및 하중분담율은 중요한 요소가 아니며, 지반응답곡선과 지보반응곡선은 상호의존적인 것으로 나타났다. 터널구조는 지반과 지보의 상호작용에 의하여 분석되어야 한다. 그러므로 합리적인 터널설계를 위해서 터널의 안정성은 지반응답곡선에 의한 정성적 판단과 수치해석에 의한 정량적 검토가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 연약 점성토 지반에 근입된 모형말뚝을 대상으로 다양한 입력 가속도 크기 및 진동수 조건에서 1g 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과를 이용하여, 각각의 동적 p-y 곡선을 산정하였으며, 이 p-y 곡선 상에서 최대지반반력이 나타나는 꼭지점들을 연결하여 연약 점성토의 동적 p-y 중추곡선(Backbone curve)을 쌍곡선 함수로 나타내었다. 이 쌍곡선 함수를 정의하는데 필요한 초기 기울기와 극한 저항력은 Matlock의 p-y 곡선 공식을 이용하여 제안하였다. 새로 제안한 동적 p-y 중추곡선은 실제 내진설계에 사용되고 있는 정적 p-y 곡선과 다른 연구자들의 원심모형실험 결과 및 수치해석 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 조밀한 포화 사질토 지반과 느슨한 포화 사질토 지반에 근입된 모형말뚝을 대상으로 다양한 말뚝휨 강성과 입력 가속도 진폭, 그리고 입력 가속도 진동수 조건에서 1g 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과로, 조밀한 포화 사질토 지반조건에 대해, 각 실험 p-y 곡선 상 최대 지반 반력이 나타나는 꼭지점들을 연결하여 등가정적해석에 적용할 수 있는 동적 p-y 중추곡선을 쌍곡선 함수로 나타내었으며, 중추곡선을 쌍곡선 함수로 나타내는데 필요한 초기 기울기($k_{ini}$)와 극한 저항력($p_u$)을 결정하기 위한 경험식을 마찰각과 구속압의 함수로 제안하였다. 제안한 동적 p-y 중추곡선의 적용성을 기존 문헌에 발표된 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였으며, 실제 설계에 적용되고 있는 기존의 p-y 곡선들과도 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 느슨한 포화 사질토 지반조건에서, 진동 중 발생하는 과잉간극수압에 따라 지반 저항이 감소하는 정도를 나타내는 동적 지반 저항 감소 계수($S_F$)를 제안하였다.

Kyung-p-1 main line is characterized by its curves radii of which are considerably small. It is essential for running time reduction of train to improve capabilities of curve negotiation. This improvement can be achieved by designing a bogie with flexible suspension system. The effect of the improvement is mainly concerned in the primary yaw stiffness of bogie suspension. This paper gives a linear analysis for the motion of railway vehicle on curved track and gives also computer simulation results for Semaul Train. The results introduce a conclusion that the primary yaw stiffness of Semaul train is too rigid to be self-steering on Kyung-pu main line curves.

The problem related to the rotational vibration at steering wheel end of passenger cars during high speed driving is investigated. to analyze vibration of steering wheel, a steering system of passenger car is modelled in twelve degrees of freedom including backlash effect of rack and pinion gear system. The one degree of freedom system with backlash in investigated by the analytical method. Consequently the skeleton curve and the frequency response curves are computed. The steering system is analyzed by the numerical simulation using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method, the obtained results are compared with the experimental data. Also the effects of the change of rack gear tooth stiffness and backlash on the acceleration level of steering wheel are investigated. As a result, it can be found that the acceleration level of steering wheel becames lower as the rack gear tooth stiffness becames higher, and that acceleration level becames high as the magnitude of backlash between rack and pinion gear increase.

Solid state deformation of PZT is effective for the micron scale displacement. Inch-worm gets large linear displacement by incrementally summing displacements of PZT actuators. Dynamic stiffness of inch-worm is generally low compared to its driving condition due to the small size and light weight of inch-worm. Mechanical vibration induced by low stiffness may degenerate the motion accuracy of the inch-worm. In this paper, dynamic characteristics of the inch-worm are modeled by using the frequency domain curve fitting based on the experimental frequency response function. SMC (sliding mode control) is examined for motion control of the inch-worm. Simulation and experimental results show that the inch-worm with SMC scheme is feasible for the precise displacement device.

This paper describes the dynamical behavior of the bicycle and its nonlinear effect when magnetic repulsive forces are applied to the bicycle cushion system. A finite-element method was used to obtain its reliabilities by comparing the experimental and numerical values and select the proper magnet sizes. The Equivalent spring stiffness values were evaluated in terms of both linear and nonlinear approximations, where the nonlinear effect was specifically investigated for the ride comfort. The corresponding equations of linear and nonlinear motion were derived for the numerical model with three degrees of freedom. Dynamic behaviors were observed when the bicycle ran over a curvilinear road in the form of a sinusoidal curve. The analysis in this paper for the observed nonlinearity of magnetic repulsive forces will be a useful guide to more accurately predict the cushion design for any vehicle system.

General1y, H-section is used for columns and beams in the middle and low steel building, But it has a strong and weak axis. Thus if H-section is used for columns, the structure needs reinforcement on the weak axis. Therefore recently, square holler section(S.H.S) is used for columns because it is able to coiler the vulnerability of H-section. Structural analysis is usually executed under the assumption that connections are either ideally pinned joint or fully rigid joint. Actually all connections are semi-rigid which possess a rotational stiffness. Therefore it can be designed economically as using the property of connections which has a rotational stiffness. This paper presents a prediction model curve which is fitted Kishi-Chen power Model about the behavior of connection between H-beam and S.H.S column. Non-linear analysis program was considered the non-linearity of semi-rigid connection and the geometrical non-linearity under the effect of axial force. It was programed by FORTRAN90 and Visual Basic.

Generally, H-section is used for columns and beams in the middle and low building steel structure, But it has a axis and a weak axis. Thus if H-section is used for columns, the structure needs reinforcement on the weak axis. Therefore recently, square hollow section(S.H.S) is used for columns because it is able to cover the vulnerability of H-section. Structural analysis is usually executed under the assumption that connections are either ideally pinned joint or fully joint. Actually all connections are semi-rigid which possess a rotational stiffness. Therefore it can be designed economically as using the property of connections which has a rotational stiffness. This paper presents a prediction model curve which is fitted with Kishi-Chen Power Model about the behavior of connection between H-beam and S.H.S column in the previous experimental paper. It also suggests the new analysis algorithm considering the non-linear of semi-rigid connection and the geometrical non-linear under the effect of axial force.
