The thermohydrodynamic analysis of tilting pad thrust bearing is studied with the consideration of elastic effect of pad. Reynolds equation, deflection equation and energy equation are solved simultaneously with the boundary conditions. Reynolds equation is modified as the approximate form. Pads are supported by the line pivot and the point pivot respectively. Pads are considered as the flat planes. Effects of pad thickness on the performance of thrust bearing are emphasized and the performances of rigid pad and elastic pad are compared. Effects of inlet temperature on performances of the bearing are compared. Dynamic characteristics of both pad supported by line and point pivot are compared.

Construction of concrete slab track is trending to increase gradually in national and international for reduction in track maintenance cost and secure of ride comfort. But elastic pad becomes superannuated due to repeated train operation. After all, it brings change of pad stiffness and it could directly act on track and bridge as load transmission and impact force. In this study, we carried out laboratory test changing pad stiffness after making a model of 15m bridge and laying concrete slab track. Also, we carried out static and dynamic behaviors test(stress, natural frequency, damping ratio, vibrational acceleration, deflection) of bridge and track and experimentally analyzed them by change of elastic pad stiffness on rail fastener.

A method of calculating the natural frequency corresponding to the first mode of vibration of beams and tower structures, with irregular cross sections and with arbitrary boundary conditions was developed and reported by Kim, D. H. in 1974. In this paper, the result of application of this method to the three span continuous reinforced concrete bridge with elastic intermediate supports in presented. Such bridge represents either concrete or sandwich type three span bridge on polymeric supports for passive control or on actuators for active control. Any method may be used to obtain the deflection influence surfaces needed for this vibration analysis. Finite difference method is used for this purpose, In this paper. The influence of the modulus of the foundation and $D_{22}$, $D_{l2}$, $D_{66}$ stiffnesses on the natural frequency is thoroughly studied.d.

Elastic and in-elastic buckling stress analyses are executed by the semi-analytical finite strip method to study the effect of the longitudinal stiffener on the web of box girders. The simple analysis procedure is based on the assumption that the vertical stiffeners has the rigidity enough to force nil deflection line on the web panel so that the boundary condition may be regarded as a hinge. The provisions on the longitudinal stiffeners in plate girders of the Korean Standard Highway Bridge Specifications(1992) are investigated through comparison with the results obtained for various web stiffener size of box girders of the medium span length bridges.

An isogeometric approach is presented for static analysis of thin plate problems of various geometries. Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis function is applied for approximation of the thin plate deflection, as for description of the geometry. The governing equation based on Kirchhoff plate theory, is discretized using the standard Galerkin method. The essential boundary conditions are enforced by the Lagrange multiplier method. Several typical examples of thin plate and thin plate on elastic foundation are solved and compared with the theoretical solutions and other numerical methods. The numerical results show the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

Residual Deformation Analysis(RDA) is a new method for ratings of the continuous bridges. The RDA makes it possible to expand the inelastic steel girder bridge design method set forth in the American Association of State Highway Officals'(AASHTO) Guide Specifications for Alternate Load Factor Design Procedures for Steel Beam Bridges Using Braced Compact Sections(1986) into an inelastic rating method. It is a method to assess the residual moments and deformations that are set up in a beam that has been loaded into the post-elastic range This method combines classical elastic conjugate beam theory with linear moment-rotation relationships for midspan inelastic positive moment. The limit state is inelastic serviceability limit. which is defined as the ratio of the span to midspan inelastic deflection(C=L/D).

The primary objective of this study is to present a modified method of hydroelastic analysis and application of it to the VLFS with submerged plate. The modal analysis method is applied to the VLFS with the submerged plate using the modified hydrodynamic coefficients. Namely, the wave exciting forces are modified by the transmission wave coefficients, while the interaction factor is used for the modification of radiation forces. To validate the proposed method, comparisons between the numerical calculations and experimental data have been carried out for the deflections of VLFS, and it shows good agreement between the calculation and experiment. The results presented in this study demonstrate that the elastic response of the VLFS is strongly affected by the hydrodynamic interaction induced by the submerged plate. As a result, we can confirm that the submerged plate is useful for reducing the hydroelastic deflection of VLFS, and the proposed method is valuable for predicting the elastic response of VLFS with attached the submerged plate.

The applicability of a novel incremental-iterative technique with 2D differential/integral quadrature method (DIQM) in analyzing the nonlinear behavior of Bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) porous plate based on neutral surface is verified in the present works. A formulation of four variables high shear deformation theory is used to describe the kinematic relations with respect to neutral surface rather than mid-plane. Bi-directional material distributions are presented by power functions through both thickness and axial directions. Porosities and voids are distributed by different cosine functions. The large deformations are included within the sense of nonlinear von Kármán strains. The integro-differential equilibrium equations with associated modified boundary conditions are solved numerically and iteratively by using 2D DIQM. Model validations and parametric analysis are depicted to present the influence of neutral axis, nonlinear strains, gradation indices, elastic foundations, and modified boundary conditions on the static deflection in addition to normal and shear stresses. The proposed model is effective in analyzing the static behavior of many real applications in nuclear reactors, marine and aerospace structures with large deformations.

Dynamic problems arising from the Euler-Bernoulli beam model with inhomogeneous elastic properties are considered. The method of Green's function and perturbation theory are employed to find the deflection in the beam correct to the first-order. Eigenvalue problems appearing from transverse vibrations of inhomogeneous beams in linear and nonlinear cases are also discussed.

A numerical tool for predicting the behavior of reinforced concrete structures under uniaxial loads is proposed. Concrete is considered as quasi-brittle material, and for a reinforcing bar, an elastic-perfectly plastic constitutive relationship is adopted. In this study, the behavior of reinforced concrete according to the interface properties between the concrete and steel is analyzed. Comparisons between the numerical predictions and the experimental results show good agreements in the load-deflection behaviors and ultimate loads of reinforced concrete structures.
