Based on the existing research results, a three-dimensional failure mechanism of tunnel face was constructed. The dynamic seismic effect was taken into account on the basis of quasi-static method, and the nonlinear Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was introduced into the limit analysis by using the tangent technique. The collapse pressure along with the failure scope of tunnel face was obtained through nonlinear limit analysis. Results show that nonlinear coefficient and initial cohesion have a significant impact on the collapse pressure and failure zone. However, horizontal seismic coefficient and vertical seismic proportional coefficient merely affect the collapse pressure and the location of failure surface. And their influences on the volume and height of failure mechanism are not obvious. By virtue of reliability theory, the influences of horizontal and vertical seismic forces on supporting pressure were discussed. Meanwhile, safety factors and supporting pressures with respect to 3 different safety levels are also obtained, which may provide references to seismic design of tunnels.

Sensitivity analysis scheme is developed in the elasto-plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with the time integration, constitutive relation, shell element with reduced integration and the contact scheme. Sensitivity analysis results are mainly examined with the highly nonlinear and quasi-static problem with the complicated contact condition. The result shows stable sensitivity especially in the sheet metal forming analysis.

The potential use of Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMA) in retrofitting historical monuments is investigated in this paper. This study is part of the ongoing work conducted in Tunisia within the framework of the FP6 European Union project (WIND-CHIME) on the use of appropriate modern seismic protective systems in the conservation of Mediterranean historical buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The present investigation consists of a finite element simulation, as a preliminary to an experimental study where a cantilever masonry wall, representing a part of a historical monument, is subjected to monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings around a horizontal axis at the base level. The wall was retrofitted with an array of copper SMA wires with different cross-sectional areas. A new model is proposed for heat-treated copper SMAs and is validated based on published experimental results. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses are then performed on the wall for the purpose of assessing the SMA device retrofitting capabilities. Simulation results show an improvement of the wall response for the case of monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings.

The MEMS structures usually are made from silicon; consideration of the viscoelastic effect in microbeams duo to the phenomena of silicon creep is necessary. Application of the fractional model of microbeams made from viscoelastic materials is studied in this paper. Quasi-static and dynamical responses of an electrically actuated viscoelastic microbeam are investigated. For this purpose, a nonlinear finite element formulation of viscoelastic beams in combination with the fractional derivative constitutive equations is elucidated. The four-parameter fractional derivative model is used to describe the constitutive equations. The electric force acting on the microbeam is introduced and numerical methods for solving the nonlinear algebraic equation of quasi-static response and nonlinear equation of motion of dynamical response are described. The deflected configurations of a microbeam for different purely DC voltages and the tip displacement of the microbeam under a combined DC and AC voltages are presented. The validity of the present analysis is confirmed by comparing the results with those of the corresponding cases available in the literature.

Concrete is a heterogeneous material exhibiting quasi-brittle behaviour. While homogenization of concrete is commonly accepted in general engineering applications, a detailed description of the material heterogeneity using a mesoscale model becomes desirable and even necessary for problems where drastic spatial and time variation of the stress and strain is involved, for example in the analysis of local damages under impact, shock or blast load. A mesoscale model can also assist in an investigation into the underlying mechanisms affecting the bulk material behaviour under various stress conditions. Extending from existing mesoscale model studies, where use is often made of specialized codes with limited capability in the material description and numerical solutions, this paper presents a mesoscale computational model developed under a general-purpose finite element environment. The aim is to facilitate the utilization of sophisticated material descriptions (e.g., pressure and rate dependency) and advanced numerical solvers to suit a broad range of applications, including high impulsive dynamic analysis. The whole procedure encompasses a module for the generation of concrete mesoscale structure; a process for the generation of the FE mesh, considering two alternative schemes for the interface transition zone (ITZ); and the nonlinear analysis of the mesoscale FE model with an explicit time integration approach. The development of the model and various associated computational considerations are discussed in this paper (Part 1). Further numerical studies using the mesoscale model for both quasi-static and dynamic loadings will be presented in the companion paper (Part 2).

본 연구에서는 방호공의 최대방호능력을 산정하기 위하여 선박충돌방호공과 선박을 수치적으로 모델링하고 준정적해석으로 충돌해석을 수행하였다. 방호공은 구조물의 비선형 거동과 지반의 지지효과 및 인발을 고려하여 모델링되었다. 충돌선박은 비선형거동이 집중되는 선수부분을 정밀하게 모델링하고 효율적인 해석을 위해 mass scaling기법을 사용하였다. 동일한 해석모델에 대하여 동적해석을 추가적으로 수행하여 두 해석방법의 차이점과 효율성을 평가하였다. 선박과 방호공의 에너지소산곡선을 바탕으로 충돌선박이 교량하부구조에 충돌력을 전달되는 시점을 추정하고, 이를 바탕으로 대상선박의 최대충돌허용속도를 산정하였다. 이러한 추정방법이 방호공의 에너지소산한계를 명확히 판단할 수 있어 공학적으로 효율적인 산정방법임을 보였다.

Transmission line crosstalk of a printed circuit baord terminated with the linear resistive and nonlinear terminal network is analyzed. Based on a quasi-static approximation, crosstalk voltage is computed in frequency domain by applying the modal analysis. A scheme to calculate the maximum crosstalk voltage for a line terminated with the nonlinear digital gate is proposed. And also, crosstalk quantities are numerically obtained for the microstrip and strip line, and compared with the experimental data to validate relevance of this method.

안벽에 계류된 선박에 대한 준정적(Quasi-Static)계류해석 방법이 정식화되었다. 본 해석방법은 태풍내습시의 안벽계류나 Load-Out시의 계류시 설계 그리고 터미날의 초기 설계등에 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다. 대개 $10{\sim}20$개의 계류삭으로 이루어지는 전체 계류계의 탄성거동은 계류삭의 길이가 대부분 짧고, 같은 평면이 있지 않으므로 인해 복잡한 비선형 현상을 보인다. 이를 처리하기 위하여 외력에 대해 전체 계류계가 준정적 거동을 한다는 가정하에 상기 거론한 모든 비선형 현상을 고려할 수 있는 하중증가법(Load Increment Technique)이 채택되었다.
