High-rise wooden pagodas generate large displacement responses under wind action. It is necessary and wise to reduce the wind loads and wind-induced responses on the architectural heritage using artificial plants, which do not damage ancient architecture and increase greenery. This study calculates and analyzes the wind loads and wind-induced responses on the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, in China, using artificial plants via the finite element analysis (FEA). A three-dimensional wind-loading field was simulated using a wind tunnel test. Wind loads and wind-induced responses, including the displacement and acceleration of the pagoda with and without artificial plants, were analyzed. In addition, three types of tree arrangements were discussed and analyzed using the score method. The results revealed that artificial plants can effectively control wind loads and wind-induced displacements, but the wind-induced accelerations are enlarged to some extent during the process. The height of the tree significantly affected the shelter effects of the structure. The distance of trees from the pagoda and arrangement width of the tree had less influence on shelter effects. This study extends the understanding of the nondestructive method based on artificial plants, for controlling the wind base loads and structural responses of wooden pagodas and preserving architectural heritage via FEA.

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are classified as lateral load-resisting systems. The feasibility of openings in the steel plate is a characteristic of SPSWs. The use of openings in SPSWs can lower the load capacity, stiffness, and energy dissipation. This study proposes a novel form of SPSWs that provides convenient access through openings by combining steel plates and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The proposed system also avoids a substantial reduction in the strength and stiffness. Hence, various geometric forms were analyzed through two different structural approaches. Groups 1, 2, and 3 included a steel EBF with a steel plate between the column and EBF in order to improve system performance. In Group 4, the proposed system was evaluated within an SPSW with openings and an EBF on the opening edge. To evaluate the performance of the proposed systems, the nonlinear finite element method (NL-FEM) was employed under cyclic loading. The hysteresis (load-drift) curve, stress contour, stiffness, and damping were evaluated as the structural outputs. The numerical models indicated that local buckling within the middle plate-EBF connection prevented a diagonal tension field. Moreover, in group 4, the EBF and stiffeners on the opening edge enhanced the structural response by approximately 7.5% in comparison with the base SPSW system.

This paper proposes a spectral element which can represent dynamic responses in high frequency domain such as Lamb waves on a thin plate. A two layer beam model under 2-D plane strain condition is introduced to simulate high-frequency dynamic responses induced by piezoelectric layer (PZT layer) bonded on a base plate. In the two layer beam model, a PZT layer is assumed to be rigidly bonded on a base beam. Mindlin-Herrmann and Timoshenko beam theories are employed to represent the first symmetric and anti-symmetric Lamb wave modes on a base plate, respectively. The Bernoulli beam theory and 1-D linear piezoelectricity are used to model the electro-mechanical behavior of a PZT layer. The equations of motions of a two layer beam model are derived through Hamilton's principle. The necessary boundary conditions associated with electro mechanical properties of a PZT layer are formulated in the context of dual functions of a PZT layer as an actuator and a sensor. General spectral shape functions of response field and the associated boundary conditions are formulated through equations of motions converted into frequency domain. A detailed spectrum element formulation for composing the dynamic stiffness matrix of a two layer beam model is presented as well. The validity of the proposed spectral element is demonstrated through comparison results with the conventional 2-D FEM and the previously developed spectral elements.

궤도용 차량의 안전성 확보를 위한 연구의 일환으로서 레일강의 균열 발생 조건과 모재와 용접부에 대한 정적파괴거동 및 단일모드 하중하의 피로균열진전거동을 검토하였다. 레일에서 횡방향 균열의 원점은 표면하층균열이며 이는 최대전단응력에 의해 발생하였다. 또한 표면하층균열의 크기가 증가함에 따라 균열의 진전은 전단모드에서 혼합모드로 천이될 가능성이 증가하였다. 용접부의 평면변형률 파괴인성은 조직의 조대화와 경도의 상승으로 인하여 모재에 비하여 약 10% 저하하였다. 용접부의 제 2단계 영역의 피로 균열진전속도는 낮은 ${\Delta}K$ 영역에서 모재에 비하여 저하하였으나 높은 ${\Delta}K$영역에서는 이의 차이가 소멸되었으며 이러한 경향은 R=0.1의 낮은 응력비에서 현저하였다. 이는 용접부의 미시조직이 모재에 비하여 성장하였기 때문이라고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 중심축하중을 받는 각형강관기둥의 베이스플레이트의 지압응력의 분포와 설계에 대하여 조사하였다. 일반적으로 강구조 기둥의 베이스플레이트는 지압응력이 등분포하다고 가정하고 그 크기와 두께를 결정한다. 그러나 축하중이 적으면 베이스플레이트의 크기도 작아지고 두께도 얇아지며 지압응력은 등분포하게 되지 않으며 기둥단면의 하부에 집중된다. 본 연구에서는 실험적 방법과 해석적 방법으로 지압응력의 분포에 대하여 조사하고 그 결과를 이용하여 설계법을 검토하였다. 4개의 각형강관기둥 베이스플레이트 시험체를 제작하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 유한요소해석프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하여 베이스플레이트의 지압응력의 분포를 해석하였다. 연구결과 축하중이 적은 경우 지압응력은 기둥단면의 하부에 집중되고 등분포하지 않으므로 유효폭의 개념을 이용하여 베이스플레이트를 설계하는 방법이 적절함을 나타내었다.

IGRINS, the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer, is a near-infrared wide-band high-resolution spectrograph jointly developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the University of Texas at Austin. IGRINS employs three HAWAII-2RG focal plane array (FPA) detectors. The mechanical mounts for these detectors serves a critical function in the overall instrument design: Optically, they permit the only positional compensation in the otherwise "build to print" design. Thermally, they permit setting and control of the detector operating temperature independently of the cryostat bench. We present the design and fabrication of the mechanical mount as a single module. The detector mount includes the array housing, a housing for the SIDECAR ASIC, a field flattener lens holder, and a support base. The detector and ASIC housing will be kept at 65 K and the support base at 130 K. G10 supports thermally isolate the detector and ASIC housing from the support base. The field flattening lens holder attaches directly to the FPA array housing and holds the lens with a six-point kinematic mount. Fine adjustment features permit changes in axial position and in yaw and pitch angles. We optimized the structural stability and thermal characteristics of the mount design using computer-aided 3D modeling and finite element analysis. Based on the computer simulation, the designed detector mount meets the optical and thermal requirements very well.

Base isolation is considered as a seismic protective system in the design of next generation Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). If seismic isolation devices are installed in nuclear power plants then the safety under a seismic load of the power plant may be improved. However, with respect to some equipment, seismic risk may increase because displacement may become greater than before the installation of a seismic isolation device. Therefore, it is estimated to be necessary to select equipment in which the seismic risk increases due to an increase in the displacement by the installation of a seismic isolation device, and to perform research on the seismic performance of each piece of equipment. In this study, modified NRC-BNL benchmark models were used for seismic analysis. The numerical models include representations of isolation devices. In order to validate the numerical piping system model and to define the failure mode, a quasi-static loading test was conducted on the piping components before the analysis procedures. The fragility analysis was performed by using the results of the inelastic seismic response analysis. Inelastic seismic response analysis was carried out by using the shell finite element model of a piping system considering internal pressure. The implicit method was used for the direct integration time history analysis. In addition, the collapse load point was used for the failure mode for the fragility analysis.

본 연구에서는 응답변위법을 수직구 내진설계에 적용하고 구조물의 응답을 정확하게 구할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 기반면, 지반의 상대변위 산정 방법, 하중 산정 및 적용 방법에 따른 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 수직구 내진설계를 위한 기반면은 전단파속도가 1500m/s를 초과하는 지반을 선정하는 것이 가장 적합하며, 지반변위 산정 방법은 다층지반의 특성을 반영할 수 있는 double cosine이 가장 적합하다. 또한 응답변위법 해석을 위한 동토압 및 주면전단력 산정 시 구조물의 단면형상효과를 고려하는 것이 실제 수직구의 동적거동을 적절히 반영하며 경제적인 설계를 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Considering the Column-Supported Group Silos (CSGSs) often arranged by rows in practical applications, earthquake responses will be affected by group effect. Since group effect presenting uncertainties, establishing the analytic model and evaluating characteristics of CSGSs seems necessary. This study aimed at providing a simplified method to evaluate seismic performances of the CSGSs. Firstly, the CSGSs with different storage granule heights are used as numerical examples to derive the base shear formula for three-particle dynamic analytical model. Then, the base shear distribution coefficient is defined as the group effect index. The simplified calculation method of the group silos based on the distribution coefficients is proposed. Finally, based on the empty, half, and full granular storage conditions, the empirical design parameters for the group silos system are given by combining finite element simulation with shaking table test. The group effect of storage granule heights of group silos on its frequency and base shear are studied by comparative analysis between group silos and independent single silo. The results show that the frequency of CSGSs decreases with the increasing weight of the stored granule. The connection between the column top and silo bottom plate is vulnerable, and structural measures should be strengthened to improve its damage resistance. In case of different storage granule heights, distribution coefficients are effective to reconstruction the group effect. The complex calculations of seismic response for CSGSs can be avoided by adopting the empirical distribution coefficients obtained in this study. The proposed method provides a theoretical reference for evaluation on the seismic performances of the CSGSs.
