In this work, random homogenization analysis for the effective thermal properties of a three-dimensional composite material with unidirectional fibers is presented by combining the equivalent inclusion method with Random Factor Method (RFM). The randomness of the micro-structural morphology and constituent material properties as well as the correlation among these random parameters are completely accounted for, and stochastic effective thermal properties as thermal expansion coefficients as well as their correlation are then sought. Results from the RFM and the Monte-Carlo Method (MCM) are compared. The impact of randomness and correlation of the micro-structural parameters on the random homogenized results is revealed by two methods simultaneously, and some important conclusions are obtained.

Structural damage detection, damage localization and severity estimation of jacket platforms, based on calculating modal strain energy is presented in this paper. In the structure, damage often causes a loss of stiffness in some elements, so modal parameters; mode shapes and natural frequencies, in the damaged structure are different from the undamaged state. Geometrical location of damage is detected by computing modal strain energy change ratio (MSECR) for each structural element, which elements with higher MSECR are suspected to be damaged. For each suspected damaged element, by computing cross-modal strain energy (CMSE), damage severity as the stiffness reduction factor -that represented the ratios between the element stiffness changes to the undamaged element stiffness- is estimated. Numerical studies are demonstrated for a three dimensional, single bay, four stories frame of the existing jacket platform, based on the synthetic data that generated from finite element model. It is observed that this method can be used for damage detection of this kind of structures.

This paper presents the results of the load test performed on a steel plate girder bridge and suggests the procedure of bridge rating through the load test. In general the girder bridge resist the loads as a complex three-dimensional structural system. Therefore the test results are analyzed for the longitudinal and the transverse response characteristics. The bending moments based on the beam analysis are compared with the measured values for longitudinal response characteristics. The lateral load distribution characteristics are assessed based on the load test results for transverse response characteristics. Also the rating of the test bridge is performed by using the suggested rating procedure which considers the actual response characteristics of the bridge. The suggested procedure can be used for understanding of actual response characteristics and evaluating load carrying capacity of the steel plate girder bridge.

회전익 항공기에서 가장 심각한 문제의 한 가지는 로터의 회전에 의한 진동 가진이다. 이를 완화하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 능동 뒷전플랩(ATF)을 적용한 로터 블레이드를 개발하였다. 이 플랩은 로터 중심에서부터 65~85% 스팬에 장착되었다. 블레이드 회전 속도는 끝단에서 마하수를 충족하기 위하여 1,528rpm정도로 높은 수준이다. 이런 특별한 장치가 내부에 삽입된 블레이드에서는 구조적인 강건성을 파악하고 관찰하는 것이 중요하다. 플랩을 작동시키는 세밀한 부품들이 회전하는 블레이드 내에 삽입되기 때문이다. 블레이드의 구조적 설계와 분석을 위하여 CAMRAD-II와 1차원 보 모델을 이용하였다. 동시에 3차원 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 MSC. PATRAN/NSTRAN를 통해 현재 블레이드의 상세한 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 개발한 로터의 특성이 적절한 수준인 것으로 예측되었다.

There have been developed many structural and fluid rotorcraft analysis models in rotorcraft community, and also lots of investigations have been conducted to combine these two models. These investigations turn out to be good at predicting the airloads precisely, but they have not taken the blade nonlinear deflection into account. For this reason, the present paper adopts a sophisticated structural model which can describe three-dimensional nonlinear deflection of the blade. And it is combined with two types of aerodynamic model. First one is generalized Greenberg type of finite-time aerodynamic model, which is originally established for a fixed wing, but later modified to be suitable for coupled flap-lag-torsional aeroelastic analysis of the rotor blade. Second aerodynamic model is based on the unsteady source-doublet panel method coupled with a free wake model. The advantages of the present method are capabilities to consider thickness of the blade and more precise wake effects. Transient responses of the airloads and structural deflections in time domain are mainly analyzed in this paper.

P-version finite element model for the computation of stress intensity factors in two dimensional cracked panels by J-integral method is presented. The proposed model is based on high order theory and hierarchical shape function. The displacements fields are defined by integrals of Legendre polynomials which can be classified into three part such as basic mode, side mode, integral mode. The stress intensity factors are computed by J-integral method. The example models for validating the proposed p-version model are centrally cracked panel, single and double edged crack in a rectangular panel under pure Mode I. And the analysis results are compared with those by the h-version of FEM and empirical solutions in literatures. Very good agreement with the existing solution are shown.

Analysis program to estimate the dynamic characteristics of bridge is investigated by using three-dimensional analytical model considering vehicle-bridge interaction. A dynamic interaction models of the vehicle-bridge system are established, which is composed of a vehicle element model and a finite element bridge model. The vehicle models are established according to the structure and suspending properties of vehicle. The dynamic responses of the bridge are calculated. But the computer simulation program is being verified with field tests results, it must be corrected according to them.

In this paper, three dimensional dynamic infinite elements are developed for the soil-structure interaction analysis in multi-layered halfspace. For the efficient discretization of 3-D for field regions, five types of dynamic infinite elements are developed. They are the horizontal, vertical, horizontal comer, vertical comer and horizontal/vertical corner infinite elements. The shape functions of the infinite elements are based on approximate expressions of analytical solutions of propagating waves in the infinite region. Numerical example analyses are presented for compliances of rigid circular and square plates to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed infinite elements.
