This study investigates the design of an optical observation system for continuously tracking unknown space object targets within the telescope's field of view at a short cycle rate of several to tens of frames per second. Through modeling and integrated simulation by design variables, we aim to identify combinations that satisfy the performance effectiveness scale. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of a model-based simulation analysis approach in rapidly identifying design parameters that meet specific performance requirements. By leveraging numerical models tailored to the desired performance analysis level, the approach provides a robust foundation for decision-making, eliminating reliance on empirical methods or vague estimations.

Methods for predicting the ultimate/buckling strength of ship structures have been extensively improved in terms of design formulas and analytical solutions. In recent years, the design strategy of ships and offshore structures has tended to emphasize lighter builds and improve operational safety. Therefore, the corresponding geometrical changes in design necessitate the use of high-tensile steel and thin plates. However, the existing design formulas were mainly developed for thick plates and mild steels. Therefore, the calculation methods require appropriate modification for new designs beased on high-tensile steel and thin plates. In this study, a modified formula was developed to predict the ultimate strength of thin steel plates subjected to compressive and shear loads. Based on the numerical results, the effects of the yield stress, slenderness ratio, and loading condition on the buckling/ultimate strength of steel plates were examined, and a newly modified double-beta parameter formula was developed. The results were used to derive and modify existing closed-form expressions and empirical formulas to predict the ultimate strength of thin-walled steel structures.

In the present study, the advanced procedure has been proposed to estimate higher accuracy of embedment of pipes that are installed on soft clay seabed. Numerical simulation by OrcaFlex simulation code was performed to investigate dynamic seabed embedment, and two steps, i.e., static and dynamic analysis, were adopted. In total, four empirical curves were developed to estimate the seabed embedment including dynamic phenomena, i.e., behaviour of vessel, environmental condition, and behaviour of nonlinear soil. The obtained results were compared with existing methods (named general method) such as design code or guideline to examine the difference of seabed embedment for existing and advance methods. Once this process was carried out for each case, a diagram for estimating seabed embedment was established. The applicability of the proposed method was verified through applied examples with field survey data. This method will be very useful in predicting seabed embedment on soft clay, and the structural behaviours of installed subsea pipelines can be changed by the obtained seabed embedment in association with on-bottom stability, free span, and many others.

In the structural analysis of steel frames, joints are generally considered as rigid or hinged considering their moment transfer ability. However, the first studies conducted with the beginning of the 20th century showed that the joints do not actually fit these two definitions. In reality, a joint behaves between these two extreme points and is called semi-rigid. Including the actual state of the joint in the structural analysis provides significant economic advantages, so the subject is an intense field of study today. However, it does not find enough application area in practice. For this reason, a large-scale literature published from the first studies on the subject to the present has been examined within the scope of the study. Three important points have been identified in order to examine a joint realistically; modelling the load-displacement relationship, performing the structural analysis and how to design. Joint modelling methods were grouped under 7 main headings as analytical, empirical, mechanical, numerical, informational, hybrid and experimental. In addition to the moment-rotation, other important external load effects like axial force, shear and torsion were considered. Various evaluations were made to expand the practical application area of semi-rigid connections by examining analysis methods and design approaches. Dynamic behaviour was also included in the study, and besides column-beam connections, other important connection types such as beam-beam, column-beam-cross, base connection were also examined in this paper.

A significant development has been made on a new fatigue damage model applicable to Gaussian wide band stress response spectra using numerical approximation methods such as data processing, time simulation, and regression analysis. So far, most of the alternative approximate models provide slightly underestimated or overestimated damage results compared with the rain-flow counting distribution. A more reliable approximate model that can minimize the damage differences between exact and approximate solutions is required for the practical design of ships and offshore structures. The present paper provides a detailed description of the development process of a new fatigue damage model. Based on the principle of the Gaussian wide band model, this study aims to develop the best approximate fatigue damage model. To obtain highly accurate damage distributions, this study deals with some prominent research findings, i.e., the moment of rain-flow range distribution MRR(n), the special bandwidth parameter μk, the empirical closed form model consisting of four probability density functions, and the correction factor QC. Sequential prerequisite data processes, such as creation of various stress spectra, extraction of stress time history, and the rain-flow counting stress process, are conducted so that these research findings provide much better results. Through comparison studies, the proposed model shows more reliable and accurate damage distributions, very close to those of the rain-flow counting solution. Several significant achievements and findings obtained from this study are suggested. Further work is needed to apply the new developed model to crack growth prediction under a random stress process in view of the engineering critical assessment of offshore structures. The present developed formulation and procedure also need to be extended to non-Gaussian wide band processes.

One of the leading causes for the damage of various underground structures during an earthquake is soil liquefaction, and among this liquefaction-induced uplift of these structures is a major concern. In this study, finite-difference modelling is carried out to study the liquefaction-induced uplift of an underground structure of 5 m diameter (D) with and without the replacement of the in-situ fine sand around the structure with the coarse sand. Soil replacements are carried out by three methods: replacement of soil above the structure, around the structure, and below the structure. The soil behaviour is represented using the elastic-perfectly plastic Mohr-Coulomb model, where the pore pressures were computed using Finn-Byrne formulation. The predicted pore pressure and uplift of the structure due to sinusoidal input motion were validated with the centrifuge tests reported in the literature. Based on numerical studies, an empirical equation is developed for the determination of liquefaction-induced maximum uplift of the underground structure without replacement of the in-situ sand. It is found that the replacement of soil around the structure with 2D width and spacing of D can reduce the maximum uplift by 50%.

터널의 지반이완하중 산정방법에는 이론식, 경험식, 수치해석적인 방법 등이 있는데 이론식과 경험식은 실무에 적용하기에는 많은 한계점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 그 중에서 수치해석적 방법이 지반이완하중 산정에 필요한 모든 매개변수를 고려할 수 있고, 지반과 지보재의 상호작용을 모사할 수 있기 때문에 보다 합리적인 방법이라 판단하였다. 수치해석 결과를 바탕으로 명확한 지반이완영역을 결정하기 위하여 Sakurai(1981)의 한계전단변형률 개념을 이용하였다. Stable region의 경계영역인 Level 1의 지반이 완하중고를 산정한 결과 지반등급 3까지는 지반이완하중이 산정되지 않았고, 지반등급 4, 5에서는 기존 산정방법들에 비해 지반이완하중고가 작게 산정되어 보다 경제적인 콘크리트라이닝 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단하였다.

본 연구에서는 댐의 효율적인 계획 및 운영을 위해 댐 저수지의 최적 퇴사위 결정 방법에 대해 고찰하였다. 현재 우리나라는 안전한 설계에 의거하여 댐 저수지 사수위 내의 퇴사위 결정 방법은 비교적 높게 산정되는 수평퇴사법을 주로 적용하고 있지만, 댐 저수지의 퇴사위는 정확하게 계획되어야 하며, 이는 댐 생애주기 평가 차원에서도 중요한 요소이다. 댐 저수지의 퇴사위 결정을 위해 대표적인 방법으로는 RMA-2와 연계된 SED-2D의 모형에 의한 방법, 수평퇴사법, 면적증분법(area increment method), 경험적면적감소법(empirical area reduction method)이 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적 퇴사위 결정을 위해 이를 산정하여 2007년 기준 실측 퇴사위와 비교하였다. 또한, 현재 및 미래 퇴사위를 예측하여 각 방법별로 경향과 추이를 분석하였다. 실측 퇴사위와 산정된 퇴사위를 비교한 결과, 경험적면적감소법이 실측값과 가장 근사하게 산정된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 현재 및 미래의 퇴사위는 전반적으로 과거 퇴사위의 경향과 추이를 따라가는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 보면 경험적 면적감소법의 이용이 적절할 것으로 판단되고, 모형에 의해 분석 결과의 타당성을 검정하는 것이 합리적이라 생각된다.

폴리올레핀 공정의 melt index(MI or MFI)는 제품의 품질을 결정짓는 가장 중요한 제어변수이다. MI는 실시간으로 측정하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 MI를 예측하여 상관관계를 나타내고자 하는 많은 방법들이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 시스템 인식기법을 바탕으로 MI 예측을 위한 새로운 1차의 동적 예측모델을 고안하였다. 이 모델의 예측성능은 등급변경이 수반되는 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 공장의 실제 운전데이터에 근거한 모사로 검증하였으며 다른 예측방법들과의 비교로부터 본 연구에 의한 예측모델의 우수성을 확인하였다. 구성된 MI 동적 예측모델을 토대로 하는 모델예측제어방법의 적용을 통하여 각 단위공정별 MI를 계산하고 운전데이터와 비교하였다. 제어운전의 모사를 통하여 등급변경이 이루어지는 운전 동안의 전이시간과 불량제품 발생량이 현저한 감소를 보임을 확인하였다.
