  • According to the structure characteristics of the non-uniform beam bridge, a practical model for calculating the vibration equation of the non-uniform beam bridge is given and the application scope of the model includes not only the beam bridge structure but also the non-uniform beam with added masses and elastic supports. Based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, extending the application of the modal perturbation method and establishment of a semi-analytical method for solving the vibration equation of the non-uniform beam with added masses and elastic supports based is able to be made. In the modal subspace of the uniform beam with the elastic supports, the variable coefficient differential equation that describes the dynamic behavior of the non-uniform beam is converted to nonlinear algebraic equations. Extending the application of the modal perturbation method is suitable for solving the vibration equation of the simply supported and continuous non-uniform beam with its arbitrary added masses and elastic supports. The examples, that are analyzed, demonstrate the high precision and fast convergence speed of the method. Further study of the timesaving method for the dynamic characteristics of symmetrical beam and the symmetry of mode shape should be developed. Eventually, the effects of elastic supports and added masses on dynamic characteristics of the three-span non-uniform beam bridge are reported.

  • While non-uniform shapes are appearing as an apparent building style recently, most architects predominantly think structure and construction technology should support the designed shape of non-uniform structures determined by the architect. Within such a governance structure of architect's perception, the role of an engineer is emphasized for technical support only. Especially, in making a decision on a structural design and plan, if various and objective reviews are not conducted, the design is very likely to be left only as a drawing even if the design is appropriate for criteria and norms. With the recognition of such problems, the present study attempted to propose an equal cooperative relationship between architects and engineers in designing non-uniform structures in the future.

  • In modern building, it is constructed with non-uniform complex design. These buildings can't be expressed in 2-D drawings, and it requires shown in 3-D. So, BIM is necessary to communicate between a designer and constructor, and it prevents misunderstanding of drawings. Especially, to design and construct these non-uniformed buildings, BIM needs knowledge and know-how of structure engineer. BIM should fully include construction process information which satisfy constructors so it leads to success in construction market. In this Thesis, I show some example of BIM efficiency to construct non-uniformed large scale building.

  • Since the most program execution time is consumed in a loop structure, extracting parallelism from loop programs is critical for the taster program execution. In this paper, we proposed data dependency removal method for a single loop. The data dependency removal method can be applied to uniform and non-uniform data dependency distance in the single loop. Procedure calls parallelisms with only a single loop structure or procedure call most of other methods are concerned with the uniform code within the uniform data dependency distance. We also propose an algorithm, which can be applied to uniform, non-uniform, and complex data dependency distance among the multiple procedures. We compared our method with conventional methods using CRAY-T3E for the performance evaluation. The results show that the proposed algorithm is effective.

  • Vibration analysis of embedded functionally graded (FG)-carbon nanotubes (CNT)-reinforced piezoelectric cylindrical shell subjected to uniform and non-uniform temperature distributions are presented. The structure is subjected to an applied voltage in thickness direction which operates in control of vibration behavior of system. The CNT reinforcement is either uniformly distributed or functionally graded (FG) along the thickness direction indicated with FGV, FGO and FGX. Effective properties of nano-composite structure are estimated through Mixture low. The surrounding elastic foundation is simulated with spring and shear constants. The material properties of shell and elastic medium constants are assumed temperature-dependent. The motion equations are derived using Hamilton's principle applying first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Based on differential cubature (DC) method, the frequency of nano-composite structure is obtained for different boundary conditions. A detailed parametric study is conducted to elucidate the influences of external applied voltage, elastic medium type, temperature distribution type, boundary conditions, volume percent and distribution type of CNT are shown on the frequency of system. In addition, the mode shapes of shell for the first and second modes are presented for different boundary conditions. Numerical results indicate that applying negative voltage yields to higher frequency. In addition, FGX distribution of CNT is better than other considered cases.

  • A simulation method is proposed to study the amorphous structure of carbon nitride. The material properties of a non-uniform nitrogen distribution in an amorphous CN matrix can be studied. The cohesive energy of a group of randomly generated atoms can be minimized to find the relative positions of atoms. From the calculated configuration of atoms, many properties of amorphous carbon nitride can be calculated such as bulk modulus, P-V curve, sp$^3$/sp$^2$ ratio of carbon, and vibrational spectra. The calculation shows that the cohesive energy of non-uniform nitrogen distribution is lower than that of a uniform distribution. This may suggest that the regular structure of carbon nitride can at most be metastable. It is not easy to incorporate nitrogen atoms into a carbon matrix.

  • The non-uniform leaky wave structure of the slits in a parallel-plate waveguide is analyzed from the viewpoints of transmitting(receiving) leaky wave antenna and grating coupler. Period and slit width are simultaneously varied along the leaky wave structure to construct the leaky wave structure with a specific distribution of complex propagation constant. Some results for the equivalent magnetic current distributions over the slits and the radiation characteristics of the leaky wave structure with various source(equivalent magnetic current) distributions such as Gaussian, uniform, cosine, cosine-squared, and Taylor distributions are given and compared with each other.

  • A cylindrical composite lattice structure is manufactured by filament winding. The distribution of nonuniform fiber volume fraction induced by the manufacturing process can be observed. The stiffness and buckling characteristics can be influenced by non-uniform fiber volume fraction. In this paper, the effect of non-uniform fiber volume fraction through thickness direction on the torsional buckling load of the cylindrical composite lattice structure was examined. The stiffness variation induced by the non-uniform fiber volume fraction was applied to the finite element model, and buckling analysis was performed. The variations of buckling load with variations of fiber volume fraction were compared. The non-uniform fiber volume fraction reduced the torsional buckling load of the composite lattice structure.

  • In order to predict the effects of droplets distributions such as number density and droplets size on group combustion characteristics and flame structure for liquid fuel sprays, modifications of group combustions model were made by changing the droplets distributions from uniform to non-uniform. Various droplets distribution models were adopted in this analysis to examine the effect of number density distribution on combustion characteristics and the difference between uniform and non-uniform droplets size distributions for a spherical droplets cloud. As results of present study, hollow droplets could with outer concentrating distribution has shorter total combustion time compare with the case of solid droplets cloud with inner concentrating distribution. Uniform droplets size distribution model predicts the shorter total combustion time compare with non-uniform droplets size distribution model, and the uniform droplets size distribution model may be used to predict the total combustion time for the droplets cloud containing larger initial size of droplets.

  • In 1994, Lim-Xu asked whether the Maluta's constant D(X) < 1 implies the fixed point property for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and gave a partial solution for this question under an additional assumption for T, i.e., weakly asymptotic regularity of T. In this paper, we shall prove that the result due to Lim-Xu is also satisfied for more general non-Lipschitzian mappings in reflexive Banach spaces with weak uniform normal structure. Some applications of this result are also added.
