This paper presents a study on the behavior of an RC bridge under near-field and far-field ground motions. For this purpose, a dynamic nonlinear finite element time history analysis has been conducted. The near-field and far-field records are chosen pairwise from the same events which are fits to the seismic design of the bridge. In order to perform an accurate seismic evaluation, the model has been analyzed under two vertical and horizontal components of ground motions. Parameters of relative displacement, residual displacement, and maximum plastic strain have been considered and compared in terms of near-field and far-field ground motions. In the following, in order to decrease the undesirable effects of near-field ground motions, a viscous damper is suggested and its effects have been studied. In this case, the results show that the near-field ground motions increase maximum relative and residual displacement respectively up to three and twice times. Significant seismic improvements were achieved by using viscous dampers on the bridge model. Somehow under the considered near-field ground motion, parameters of residual and relative displacement decrease dramatically even less than the model without damper under the far-field record of the same ground motion.

본 논문에서는 상관함수와 최소자승 기법에 기반하여 단일 음원의 위치가 원거리 혹은 근거리 모두 가능한 경우, 이에 상관없이 닫힌 형태로 위치를 추정하는 기법을 제안한다. 최근 균일 환영 배열에서 상호상관함수를 이용하여 원거리 단일 음원의 위치를 2차원으로 추정하는 기법이 제안되었으며, 이를 확장하여 근거리 단일 음원의 위치를 3차원으로 추정하는 기법이 제안되었다. 그러나 기존 기법은 음원의 위치가 원거리, 혹은 근거리로 제한된 상황만 다루고 있다. 반면 제안 기법은 먼저 원거리 음원으로 가정하여 거리 독립적으로 방위와 고각을 구하고 이후 거리 추정에서 원거리와 근거리 음원을 구분하여 혼합 환경에 적용가능하다. 시뮬레이션에서는 두 가지 경우 모두에 대해 실험하여 제안 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The specific characteristics of near-field earthquake records can lead to different dynamic responses of bridges compared to far-field records. However, the effect of near-field strong ground motion has often been neglected in the seismic performance assessment of the bridges. Furthermore, damage to horizontally curved multi-frame RC box-girder bridges in the past earthquakes has intensified the potential of seismic vulnerability of these structures due to their distinctive dynamic behavior. Based on the nonlinear time history analyses in OpenSEES, this article, assesses the effects of near-field versus far-field earthquakes on the seismic performance of horizontally curved multi-frame RC box-girder bridges by accounting the vertical component of the earthquake records. Analytical seismic fragility curves have been derived thru considering uncertainties in the earthquake records, material and geometric properties of bridges. The findings indicate that near-field effects reasonably increase the seismic vulnerability in this bridge sub-class. The results pave the way for future regional risk assessments regarding the importance of either including or excluding near-field effects on the seismic performance of horizontally curved bridges.

안테나 복사 특성을 효과적으로 측정하는 방법 중 하나인 안테나 근역장 측정 알고리즘의 개선을 논한다. 로렌츠 상호작용 원리와 상호작용 표기법을 이용하여 근역장-원역장 변환공식의 핵심인 프로브 교정 알고리즘을 간략히 유도한다. 제안된 일반적인 프로브 교정 방정식과 제작된 시스템을 사각 혼안테나에 대한 평면주사법에 적용하여 근역장 복사 패턴을 얻고 이를 원역장 복사 패턴과 비교하여 복사 특성이 유사한 것을 보인다. 이를 통해 본 논문의 접근법이 매우 간단하면서도 대부분의 안테나 측정에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있는 것을 보인다.

This paper describes the far-field estimation using the near-field measurement data. Measurement in far-field region gives us the acoustical characteristics of the source but in general measurement is made in near-field such as acoustic water tank or anechoic chamber, so far-field acoustical characteristics of the source should be predicted from near-field data. In this case, the number of measurement points in the near field which relates to the accuracy of the predicted field and the amount of data processing, should be optimized. Existing papers say that measurement points is proportional to kL and depends on geometry and directivity of the source. But they do not give us any definite criterion for the required number of measurement points. Boundary Collocation Method which is one of the far-field prediction methods, is analyzed based on Helmholtz integral equation and Green function and it has been found that the number of measurement points is optimized as 0.54kL which is about one half of the existing results.

The importance of stealth technology is increasing in modern warfare, and Radar Cross Section(RCS) is widely used as an indicator of stealth technology. It is useful to measure RCS using an image-based near-field to far-field transformation algorithm in short-range monostatic conditions. However, the near-field measurement system requires a longer measurement time compared to other methods. In this work, it is proposed to reduce the measured data using an interpolation method in azimuth angular domain. The calculated far-field RCS values according to the sampling rate is shown, and the performance of the algorithm applied with interpolation in the angular domain is presented. It is shown that measurement samples can be reduced several times by using the redundancy in the angular domain while producing results similar to the conventional method.

We propose a new expression of the near-field gain correction to calculate the on-axis far-field gain from the onaxis near-field gain for a directive antenna. The new expression is represented by transversal vectorial transmitting characteristics of two antennas that are measured by planar near-field equipment. Due to the advantages of the photonic sensor, the utilization of the new expression realizes the measurements of the on-axis far-field gains for two kinds of double ridged waveguide horn antennas within 0.1 dB deviation from 1 GHz to 6 GHz without calibrating the photonic sensor system.

본 논문에서는 안테나의 원거리장 특성 및 Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC) testing을 위한 근거리 원거리장 변환에 대한 연구이다. EMC testing은 광대역 신호 및 거대 구조에 대한 원거리장 측정과 같은 복잡한 과정이 필요하다. EMC 측정 문제를 해결하기 위해, Stratton-Chu 공식을 이용하여 간단하고 직접적인 방법으로 원거리장을 예측하였다. 특히 Stratton-Chu 공식을 이용한 예측은 자유 공간상의 평면파를 통해 해석값을 비교하여 유효성을 검증했다. 패치 안테나의 근거리장 추출과 원거리장 확인을 위해, full-wave 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 Stratton-Chu 계산 결과를 비교 및 검증하였으며, 6 % 이내의 오차로 원거리장의 크기를 예측했다.

In this study, a numerical method is developed for nonlinear analysis for soil-pile-structure interaction system in time domain. Finite elements considering material nonlinearity are used for the near field and boundary elements for the far field. In the near field, frame elements are used for modeling a pile and plane-strain elements for surrounding soil and superstructure. In. the far field, boundary element formulation using the dynamic fundamental solution is adopted and coupled with the near field. Transformation of stiffness matrices of boundary elements into time domain is performed by inverse FFT. Stiffness matrices in the near field and far field are coupled. Newmark direct time integration method is applied. Developed soil-pile-structure interaction analysis method is verified with available literature and commercial code. Also, parametric studies by developed numerical method are performed. And seismic response analysis is performed using actual earthquake records.

A low damage self-centering braced frame equipped with post-tensioning strands is capable of directing damage to replaceable butterfly-shaped fuses. This paper investigates the seismic performance of rocking braced frame under near-field pulse-like ground motions compared to far-field records. A non-linear time history analysis is performed for twelve self-centering archetypes. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to examine the influences of ground motion types and modeling parameters. Findings represent the proper efficiency of the self-centering system under both far-field and near-field pulse-like ground motions.
