Forced vibration analysis of a simple supported viscoelastic nanobeam is studied based on modified couple stress theory (MCST). The nanobeam is excited by a transverse triangular force impulse modulated by a harmonic motion. The elastic medium is considered as Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation.The damping effect is considered by using the Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic model. The inclusion of an additional material parameter enables the new beam model to capture the size effect. The new non-classical beam model reduces to the classical beam model when the length scale parameter is set to zero. The considered problem is investigated within the Timoshenko beam theory by using finite element method. The effects of the transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia are included according to the Timoshenko beam theory. The obtained system of differential equations is reduced to a linear algebraic equation system and solved in the time domain by using Newmark average acceleration method. Numerical results are presented to investigate the influences the material length scale parameter, the parameter of the elastic medium and aspect ratio on the dynamic response of the nanobeam. Also, the difference between the classical beam theory (CBT) and modified couple stress theory is investigated for forced vibration responses of nanobeams.

Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumor and cause the most deaths. Manual brain tumor segmentation is expensive, time-consuming, error-prone, and dependent on the radiologist's expertise and experience. Manual brain tumor segmentation outcomes by different radiologists for the same patient may differ. Thus, more robust, and dependable methods are needed. Medical imaging researchers produced numerous semi-automatic and fully automatic brain tumor segmentation algorithms using ML pipelines and accurate (handcrafted feature-based, etc.) or data-driven strategies. Current methods use CNN or handmade features such symmetry analysis, alignment-based features analysis, or textural qualities. CNN approaches provide unsupervised features, while manual features model domain knowledge. Cascaded algorithms may outperform feature-based or data-driven like CNN methods. A revolutionary cascaded strategy is presented that intelligently supplies CNN with past information from handmade feature-based ML algorithms. Each patient receives manual ground truth and four MRI modalities (T1, T1c, T2, and FLAIR). Handcrafted characteristics and deep learning are used to segment brain tumors in a Global Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN). The proposed GCNN architecture with two parallel CNNs, CSPathways CNN (CSPCNN) and MRI Pathways CNN (MRIPCNN), segmented BraTS brain tumors with high accuracy. The proposed model achieved a Dice score of 87% higher than the state of the art. This research could improve brain tumor segmentation, helping clinicians diagnose and treat patients.

고층빌딩이나 해양 라이저와 같은 세장 구조물은 구조시스템의 동적 불안정의 주요 원인인 와류유기진동(vortex-induced vibration, VIV)에 의한 동하중에 매우 취약하다. 와류유기진동이 라이저의 고유진동수 영역에서 발생하는 경우 Lock-in현상으로 피로파괴의 우려가 있다. 본 논문에서는 Lock-in 영역에서 구조물과 유동의 동적거동에 대한 수치해석을 다루었으며, 유동조건 변화에도 불구하고 공진 주파수가 유지되는 현상에 대해 분석하였으며, 유입유동에 대해 수직방향으로 자유진동하는 1자유도의 2차원 원형실린더 단면에 대한 비정상 층류를 가정하였다. 각 시간 단계에서 물체의 움직임을 고려하여 유동장 격자를 재생성하며 비정상 유동과 물체의 운동에 대한 지배방정식을 순차적으로 수치해석하여 유체-구조 연성해석을 수행하였다. 결과는 선행연구와 잘 일치함을 보여주었고, Lock-in 현상에 대한 특성을 잘 나타내었다. Lock-in 영역에서는 양력뿐만 아니라 항력도 크게 증가함을 보여주었으며, 실린더의 수직변위는 직경의 20%까지 이름을 나타내었다. 양력과 수직변위의 상관분석을 통해 실린더가 Lock-in 영역에서 양력과 수직변위의 위상차가 동기로부터 반동기로 천이함을 확인하였으며, 이러한 변화가 Lock-in 영역에서 나타나는 공진거동의 원인이 되는 것으로 판된되었다.

The seismic behavior of two steel moment-resisting frames, which satisfy all the current seismic design requirements, are evaluated and compared in the presence of pre-Northridge connections denoted as BWWF and an improved post-Northridge connections denoted as BWWF-AD. Pre-Northridge connections are modeled first as fully restrained (FR) type. Then they are considered to be partially restrained (PR) to model their behavior more realistically. The improved post-Northridge connections are modeled as PR type, as proposed by the authors. A sophisticated nonlinear time-domain finite element program developed by the authors is used for the response evaluation of the frames in terms of the overall rotation of the connections and the maximum drift. The frames are excited by ten recorded earthquake time histories. These time histories are then scaled up to produce some relevant response characteristics. The behaviors of the frames are studied comprehensively with the help of 120 analyses. Following important observations are made. The frames produced essentially similar rotation and drift for the connections modeled as FR type and PR type represented by BWWF-AD indicating that the presence of slots in the web of beams in BWWF-AD is not detrimental to the overall response behavior. When the lateral displacements of the frames are significantly large, the responses are improved if BWWF-AD type connections are used in the frames. This study analytically confirms many desirable features of BWWF-AD connections. PR frames have longer periods of vibration in comparison to FR frames and may attract lower inertia forces. However, calculated periods of the frames of this study using FEMA 350 empirical equation is longer than those calculated using dynamic characteristics of the frames. This may result in even lower design forces and may adversely influence the design.

The effect of vertical riser support system on the dynamic behaviour of a classical spar platform is investigated. Spar platform generally uses buoyancy-can riser support system, but as water depth gets deeper the alternative riser support system is required due to safety and cost issues. The alternative riser support system is to hang risers off the spar platform using pneumatic cylinders rather than the buoyancy-can. The existing numerical model for hull/mooring/riser coupled dynamics analysis treats riser as an elastic rod truncated at the keel (truncated riser model), thus, in this model, the effect of riser support system can not be modeled correctly. Due to this reason, the truncated riser model tends to overestimate the spar pitch and heave motion. To evaluate more realistic global spar motion, mechanical coupling among risers, guide frames and support cylinders inside of spar moon-pool should be modeled. In the newly developed model, the risers are extended through the moon-pool by using nonlinear finite element methods with realistic boundary condition at multiple guide frames. In the simulation, the vertical tension from pneumatic cylinders is modeled by using ideal-gas equation and the vertical tension from buoyancy-cans is modeled as constant top tension. The different dynamic characteristics between buoyancy-can riser support system and pneumatic riser support system are extensively studied. The alternative riser support system tends to increase spar heave motion and needs damper system to reduce the spar heave motion.

건조토 지반에 근입된 지반-말뚝 시스템의 동적 거동을 정확히 예측하기 위해 3차원 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 제안된 모델은 강진 시 지반의 비선형 거동을 적절하게 모사하기 위해 상용 유한 차분 프로그램인 FLAC3D를 이용하여 시간 영역에서 해석이 수행되었다. 모델링 방법론으로써 지반 구성 모델은 Mohr-Coulomb 탄소성 모델을 적용하였으며 지반 전단 탄성 계수의 비선형적인 감소를 모사할 수 있는 이력 감쇠 모델을 적용하였다. 진동 시 지반-말뚝 간의 완전 접촉, 미끄러짐, 분리 현상을 모두 모사하는 경계요소 모델을 적용하였으며 경계요소 모델을 구성하는 스프링 계수는 탄성이론에 기초하여 결정되어, 내장 함수인 FISH를 통해 깊이에 따라 연속적으로 입력되었다. 경계 조건의 경우, 지반-말뚝 상호작용의 영향을 받는 근역 지반만 메쉬를 생성하고 근역 지반의 경계부에 원역 지반의 가속도-시간 이력을 입력하는 방식인 단순화 연속체 모델링 기법(Kim et al., 2012)을 적용함으로써 해석 효율을 증가 시키고자 하였으며 적절한 최대지반탄성계수와 항복 깊이의 설정으로 지반의 비선형 거동을 더욱 정확히 모사하고자 하였다. 수치 해석의 오차를 최소화하고 모델의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해, Yoo(2013)이 수행한 원심모형시험 결과와 수치 해석 결과와의 비교를 통해 제안된 기법의 캘리브레이션을 수행하였으며, 말뚝 최대 휨 모멘트와 말뚝 횡방향 최대 변위의 깊이 별 분포가 다양한 입력 하중 조건에서 실험 결과를 적절히 모사하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안된 수치 모델의 적용성 평가를 위해 다른 실험 결과와의 비교 검증을 수행하였다.

철도노반에서 임계속도효과는 시간영역에서의 유사-공진현상으로서 차량의 주행속도와 노반표면파의 군속도대역이 중첩되면서 에너지가 증폭되는 현상을 의미한다. 과거에는 열차의 주행속도가 낮고 지반의 군속도가 높았기 때문에 문제가 되지 않았으나, 열차속도가 고속화되면서 임계속도효과가 궤도틀림에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 현재까지는 임계속도에 대하여 주로 이론적인 분석만 제시되었는데 실질적인 임계속도효과를 효율적으로 평가하기 위해서는 궤도 및 노반의 지지강성을 현장조건과 유사하게 고려하는 것이 필요하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 궤도 및 노반의 지지조건을 고려한 임계속도해석을 수행하였다. 궤도조건은 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도로 구분하였으며 노반의 지지강성은 10~300MPa범위에서의 임계속도영향을 평가하였다. 해석결과 노반의 지지강성에 따른 변형증폭을 확인하였으며, 궤도지지조건에 대한 임계속도영향도 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Urban flood simulation plays a vital role in national flood early warning, prevention and mitigation. In recent studies on 2-dimensional flood modeling, the integrated run-off inundation model is gaining grounds due to its ability to perform in greater computational efficiency. The adaptive quadtree shallow water numerical technique used in this model implements the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) in this simulation, a procedure in which the grid resolution is refined automatically following the flood flow. The method discounts the necessity to create a whole domain mesh over a complex catchment area, which is one of the most time-consuming steps in flood simulation. This research applies the dynamic grid refinement method in simulating the recent extreme flood events in Metro Manila, Philippines. The rainfall events utilized were during Typhoon Ketsana 2009, and Southwest monsoon surges in 2012 and 2013. In order to much more visualize the urban flooding that incorporates the flow within buildings and high-elevation areas, Digital Surface Model (DSM) resolution of 5m was used in representing the ground elevation. Results were calibrated through the flood point validation data and compared to the present flood hazard maps used for policy making by the national government agency. The accuracy and efficiency of the method provides a strong front in making it commendable to use for early warning and flood inundation analysis for future similar flood events.

Taipei 101 Tower, which has 101 stories with height of 508 m, is located in Taipei where typhoons and earthquakes commonly occur. It is currently the second tallest building in the world. Therefore, the dynamic performance of the super-tall building under strong wind actions requires particular attentions. In this study, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) integrated with a new inflow turbulence generator and a new sub-grid scale (SGS) model was conducted to simulate the wind loads on the super-tall building. Three-dimensional finite element model of Taipei 101 Tower was established and used to evaluate the wind-induced responses of the high-rise structure based on the simulated wind forces. The numerical results were found to be consistent with those measured from a vibration monitoring system installed in the building. Furthermore, the equivalent static wind loads on the building, which were computed by the time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, respectively, were in satisfactory agreement with available wind tunnel testing results. It has been demonstrated through the validation studies that the numerical framework presented in this paper, including the recommended SGS model, the inflow turbulence generation technique and associated numerical treatments, is a useful tool for evaluation of the wind loads and wind-induced responses of tall buildings.
