Cables are the main load-bearing members of prestressed structure and other tensegrity structures. Based on the static equilibrium principle, a new cable force identification method considering cable flexural rigidity is proposed. Its computational formula is derived and the strategy to solve its implicit formula is introduced as well. In order to improve the reliability and practicality of this method, the influence of the cable flexural rigidity on cable force identification accuracy is also investigated. Through cable force identification experiments, the relationships among certain parameters including jacking force, jacking displacement, initial cable force, and sectional area (flexural rigidity) are studied. The results show that the cable force calculated by the proposed method considering flexural rigidity is in good agreement with the finite element results and experimental results. The proposed method with high computational accuracy and resolution efficiency can avoid the influences of the boundary condition and the length of the cable on calculation accuracy and is proven to be conveniently applied to cable force identification in practice.

We survey recent results on the inverse kinematic problem arising in geophysics. The question is whether one can determine the sound speed (index of refraction) of a medium by measuring the travel times of the corresponding ray paths. We emphasize the anisotrpic case.

When the centers of mass and stiffness of a building do not coincide, the structure experiences torsional responses. Such systems can consist of the underlying soil and the super-structure. The underlying soil may modify the earthquake input motion and change structural responses. Specific effects of the input motion shall also not be ignored. In this study, seismic demands of asymmetric buildings considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) under near-fault ground motions are evaluated. The building is modeled as an idealized single-story structure. The soil beneath the building is modeled by non-linear finite elements in the two states of loose and dense sands both compared with the fixed-base state. The infinite boundary conditions are modelled using viscous boundary elements. The effects of traditional and yield displacement-based (YDB) approaches of strength and stiffness distributions are considered on seismic demands. In the YDB approach, the stiffness considered in seismic design depends on the strength. The results show that the decrease in the base shear considering soft soil induced SSI when the YDB approach is assumed results only in the center of rigidity to control torsional responses. However, for fixed-base structures and those on dense soils both centers of strength and rigidity are controlling.

점토지반에서 횡방향하중을 받는 불균질말뚝과 균질말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 인자를 파악하고 개발된 해석기법을 적용하여 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다. 매개변수연구에서 고려한 2개의 균질말뚝에 있어 말뚝 근입깊이에 따른 매개변수는 휨강성이 클수록 크게 계산되었다. 불균질말뚝에 대한 매개변수는 재료경계점에서 멀어짐에 따라 동일한 휨강성을 갖는 균질말뚝의 매개변수에 수렴하였다. 균질말뚝과 유사한 하중지지능력을 발휘할 수 있도록 하는 적절한 불균질말뚝의 상부길이를 결정하기 위해서는 균질말뚝과 불균질말뚝의 매개변수 변화양상과 해석을 통해 얻는 횡방향변위 및 부재력 등을 종합적으로 비교해야 한다.

The effect of central axial load on natural frequencies of various thin-walled beams, are investigated by some researchers using different methods such as finite element, transfer matrix and dynamic stiffness matrix methods. However, there are situations that the load will be off centre. This type of loading is called eccentric load. The effect of the eccentricity of axial load on the natural frequencies of asymmetric thin-walled beams is a subject that has not been investigated so far. In this paper, the mentioned effect is studied using exact dynamic stiffness matrix method. Flexure and torsion of the aforesaid thin-walled beam is based on the Bernoulli-Euler and Vlasov theories, respectively. Therefore, the intended thin-walled beam has flexural rigidity, saint-venant torsional rigidity and warping rigidity. In this paper, the Hamilton‟s principle is used for deriving governing partial differential equations of motion and force boundary conditions. Throughout the process, the uniform distribution of mass in the member is accounted for exactly and thus necessitates the solution of a transcendental eigenvalue problem. This is accomplished using the Wittrick-Williams algorithm. Finally, in order to verify the accuracy of the presented theory, the numerical solutions are given and compared with the results that are available in the literature and finite element solutions using ABAQUS software.

본 연구에서는 직교이방성 판 해석의 정확도 문제를 개선하기 위하여 평강 리브를 갖는 보강판에 대하여 리브 제원을 고려한 직교이방성 휨 강성 수정 계수를 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저, 직교이방성 휨 강성과 최대 처짐에 대하여 보강판 제원에 따른 민감도 분석을 실시하였으며, 보강판의 직교이방성 휨 강성 수정 계수에 대한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 수정 계수의 비율은 판 두께와 상관없이 리브 높이, 간격, 두께별로 하나의 함수로 표현 가능함을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 수정 계수의 비율 함수로부터 간편하게 수정 휨 강성을 산정할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 지지 조건, 변장비, 리브 배치 및 재하 크기가 다른 여러 가지 보강판에 계수 함수를 적용한 결과, 참고 문헌에 비하여 직교이방성 판 해석의 정확도가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제안한 계수 함수식을 사용하면 평강 리브를 갖는 보강판의 직교이방성 판 해석 시 간편하게 상당한 정확도의 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Experimental study is performed to investigate the variation of shear strength of reinforced concrete beams according to design parameters. The major parameters are loading condition, shear span-to-depth ratio, ratio of tensile longitudinal reinforcement, prestress and boundary rigidity.14 reinforced concrete beams without web reinforcement are tested under monotonic downward loading. The shear strength of the tested specimens were compared with the prediction by design code and Choi's method.

In this study, a computer program was developed for analysis of the orthotropic curved ring sector plates. In the developing program , the thin-plate theory and multi-base coordinate system was adopted. The effect of design factors-boundary conditions, loading conditions, steel ratio, open angle, radius of curvature and relative flexural rigidity between slab and edge-beam-on the behavior of the circular ring sector plates were discussed. Also, the practical limitations was proposed to replace the problem of the orthotropic sector plate by equivalent rectangular plage.

In recent years, the automotive industry has known a remarkable development in order to satisfy the customer requirements. In this paper, we will study one of the components of the automotive which is the twist beam. The study is focused on the multicriteria design of the automotive twist beam undergoing linear elastic deformation (Hooke's law). Indeed, for the design of this automotive part, there are some criteria to be considered as the rigidity (stiffness) and the resistance to fatigue. Those two criteria are known to be conflicting, therefore, our aim is to identify the Pareto front of this problem. To do this, we used a Normal Boundary Intersection (NBI) algorithm coupling with a radial basis function (RBF) metamodel in order to reduce the high calculation time needed for solving the multicriteria design problem. Otherwise, we used the free form deformation (FFD) technique for the generation of the 3D shapes of the automotive part studied during the optimization process.

The present study deals with the propagation of Love wave (a type of surface wave) in crustal layer having temperature dependent inhomogeneity. It is assumed that the inhomogeneity in the crustal layer arises due to linear temperature variation in rigidity and density. The upper boundary of the crustal layer is traction free. Numerical results for Love wave are discussed by plotting analytical curves between phase velocity against wave number and stress against depth in the presence of inhomogeneity and temperature parameters. The effects boundary condition on the Love wave propagation in the crustal layer is also analyzed. The results presented in this study would be useful for seismologists and geologists.
