The Force Density Method (FDM) is a well known and extremely versatile tool in form finding of cable nets. In its linear formulation such method makes it possible to find all the possible equilibrium configurations of a net of cables having a certain given connectivity and given boundary conditions on the nodes. Each singular configuration corresponds to an assumed force density distribution. Its improvement as Non-Linear Force Density Method (NLFDM) introduces the possibility of imposing assigned relative distances among the nodes, the tensile level in the elements and/or their initial undeformed length. In this paper an Extended Force Density Method (EFDM) is proposed, which makes it possible to set conditions in terms of given fixed nodal reactions or, in other words, to fix the positions of a certain number of nodes and, at the same time, to impose the intensity of the reaction force. Through such extension, the (EFDM) enables us to deal with form findings problems of cable nets subjected to given constraints and, in particular, with mixed structures, made of cables and struts. The efficiency and the robustness of method are assessed through comparisons with other form finding techniques in dealing with characteristic applications to the prestress design of cable systems. As a further extension, the EFDM is applied to structures having some parts not yet geometrically defined, as can happen in designing new creative forms.

The era of the 4th industrial revolution is a complex environment in which the cyber world and the physical world are integrated and interacted. In order to successfully implement and be sustainable the 4th industrial revolution of hyper-connectivity, hyper-convergence, and hyper-intelligence, not only the technological aspects that implemented digitalization but also the social aspects must be recognized and dealt with as important. There are socio-technical systems and socio-technical systems theory as concepts that describe systems involving complex interactions between the environmental aspects of human, mechanical and tissue systems. This study confirmed how the Socio-technical System was applied in the research literature for the last 10 years through machine learning-based analysis. Eight clusters were derived by performing co-occurrence keywords network analysis, and 13 research topics were derived and analyzed by performing a structural topic model. This study provides consensus and insight on the social and technological perspectives necessary for the sustainability of the 4th industrial revolution.

임의의 체눈 모양에서 어떤 절점에서 출발하여 출발한 절점으로 되돌아 오는 최단 경로를 탐색함으로써 2차원 유한요소의 연결관계를 자동추출할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 한 절점에서 가능한 여러 경로 중에서 가능성이 큰 경로만을 탐색하게 하였고 추출된 경로에 대하여 요소로서의 유일성 및 적합성을 검사하였다. 제안된 방법이 완전함을 증명하였으며 예제를 통하여 일반적인 자동발생 기능의 적용이 어려운 체눈 모양에 대해서도 정확하게 요소를 추출할 수 있음을 보였다.

This study presents the application of multi-level substructuring for the effective nonlinear analysis of coupled wall structures. Also, the transition elements with 8 or 12 d. o. f, 5-node plane stress elements and concrete nonlinear model are considered as the basic finite elements of substructuring. In particular, the concept of localized nonlinearity is considered for the probable nonlinear zones of the structure, and the effective bottom-up and top-down process are presented through connectivity trees. The nonlinear analysis based on localized nonlinearity and multi-level substructuring, compared with the complete nonlinear analysis of the structure, gives the greater saving effects in computational efforts and cost.

A new algorithm using meshless particle method for the analysis of crack propagation problems is presented. The meshless particle method requires only a set of nodes and the description of boundaries in its formulation. The method is particulary useful for crack propagation problems due to the absence of any predefined element connectivity. Formulation procedures for the construction of displacement and shape functions are described. A numerical integration scheme and a strategy for the consideration of crack propagation are also described. Numerical examples show that the proposed method is very convenient and efficient in modeling crack problems and can guarantee the accuracy of solution in crack propagation analysis.

This paper focuses on how the coupling of the columns and walls through the structural slab contributes to the overall stiffness and strength of lateral systems. The rationale and procedures behind the design approach, which may offer a shift from more conventional assumptions made regarding compatibility and connectivity of gravity and lateral structural systems, will be introduced. The impacts on serviceability and strength design will be discussed, and observations on key design and analysis approaches will be featured. Mass and stiffness assumptions will also be reviewed. A case study on the topic will be presented describing implementation of slab coupling into engineering of a building project.

Detailed structural and molecular imaging of intact organs has incurred academic interest because the associated technique is expected to provide innovative information for biological investigation and pathological diagnosis. The conventional methods for volume imaging include reconstruction of images obtained from serially sectioned tissues. This approach requires intense manual work which involves inevitable uncertainty and much time to assemble the whole image of a target organ. Recently, effective tissue clearing techniques including CLARITY and ACT-PRESTO have been reported that enables visualization of molecularly labeled structures within intact organs in three dimensions. The central principle of the methods is transformation of intact tissue into an optically transpicuous and macromolecule permeable state without loss of intrinsic structural integrity. The rapidly evolving protocols enable morphological analysis and molecular labeling of normal and pathological characteristics in large assembled biological systems with single-cell resolution. The deep tissue volume imaging will provide fundamental information about mutual interaction among adjacent structures such as connectivity of neural circuits; meso-connectome and clinically significant structural alterations according to pathologic mechanisms or treatment procedures.

The Pertamina Energy Tower (PET) and Manhattan West North Tower (MWNT) are two supertall towers recently designed and engineered by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). The structural system for both buildings consists of an interior reinforced concrete core and a perimeter moment frame system, which is primarily structural steel. As is typical for tall towers with both concrete and steel elements, staged construction analysis was performed in order to account for the long term effects of creep and shrinkage, which result in differential shortening between the interior concrete core and steel perimeter frame. The particular design of each tower represents two extremes of behavior; PET has a robust connection between the perimeter and core in the form of three sets of outriggers, while the perimeter columns of MWNT do not reach the ground, but are transferred to the core above the base. This paper will present a comparison of the techniques used during the analysis and construction stages of the design process with the goal of understanding the differences in structural behavior of these two building systems in response to the long term effects of creep and shrinkage. This paper will also discuss the design and construction techniques implemented in order to minimize the differential shortening between the interior and exterior over the lifespan of these towers.

본 연구에서는 부분적 강성 변경이 연속적으로 필요한 경우, 전체 구조물을 재해석하지 않고도 관심을 두고 있는 변위와 부재력을 실시간 응답 수준에서 재계산할 수 있는 "적응형 부구조물화를 이용한 부분 재해석 알고리즘"을 제안한다. PRAS 알고리즘의 핵심 개념은, 1) 대상 구조물을 강성변경부분과 강성고정부분으로 구분하고, 2) 강성고정부분을 강성변경부재들이 연결된 잔류자유도만을 갖는 부구조물로 응축한 후, 3) 강성변경부재들과 강성고정부분 부구조물의 결합으로 전체 구조물을 모델랑함으로써, 최종 평형방정식의 잔류자유도수를 줄이는 데에 있다. 이 때 강성고정부분의 부구조물화 과정에서 본 연구에서 제시하는 또 하나의 알고리즘인 "적응형 부구조물화 알고리즘"을 적용하여 일단 초기 해석이 완료된 후에는 잔류자유도 구성이 달라질 때 다시 부구조물화에 소요되는 계산량을 최소화하였다.
