Seismic isolation systems employ structural control that protect both buildings and vibration-sensitive contents from destructive effects of earthquakes. Structural control is divided into three main groups: passive, active, and semi-active. Among them, semi-active isolation systems, which can reduce floor displacements and accelerations concurrently, has gained importance in recent years since they don't require large power or pose stability problems like active ones. However, their seismic performance may vary depending on the variations that may be observed in the mechanical properties of semi-active devices and/or seismic isolators. Uncertainties relating to isolators can arise from variations in geometry, boundary conditions, material behavior, or temperature, or aging whereas those relating to semi-active control devices can be due to thermal changes, inefficiencies in calibrations, manufacturing errors, etc. For a more realistic evaluation of the seismic behavior of semi-active isolated buildings, such uncertainties must be taken into account. Here, the probabilistic behavior of semi-active isolated buildings under historical pulse-like near-fault earthquakes is evaluated in terms of their performance in preserving structural integrity and protecting vibration-sensitive contents considering aforementioned uncertainties via Monte-Carlo simulations of 3-story and 9-story semi-active isolated benchmark buildings. The results are presented in the form of fragility curves and probability of failure profiles.

본 연구에서는 Dual-Ovenable Packaging 용 폴리에테르이미드의 수분흡수 특성을 개선하기 위하여 가교구조를 형성할 수 있는 말단기를 포함한 이미드 올리고머를 신규 합성하였으며, 이를 이용한 폴리에테르이미드와 가교구조 (semi-IPN, semi-interpenetrating network)를 형성을 통하여 수분흡수와 열적 특성 변화, 그리고 구조적 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 가교 말단기와 용액 이미드화법을 이용하여 두 종류의 이미드 올리고머 6FDA-ODA/APA와 6FDA-MDA/MA를 제조하였으며, 그 특성을 고찰하였다. 또한 이미드 올리고머와 $Ultem^{(R)}$ 혼합물의 semi-IPN 구조를 제조하였으며, 열적 성질, 수분흡수 거동, 그리고 박막의 구조적 특징을 TGA, Thin Film Diffusion Analyzer, 그리고 XRD 분석을 이용하여 해석하였다. 제조한 이미드 올리고머는 말단기의 양을 이용하여 분자량 조절이 가능하였다. 그리고, 온도가 증가함에 따라 가교에 의한 발열반응이 일어나며, 가교 가능한 말단기가 증가할수록 발열량이 증가하였다. $Ultem^{(R)}$과 이미드 올리고머 혼합물에 의한 semi-IPN 구조는 이미드 올리고머의 비율이 증가할수록 5와 10% 질량감소 온도가 상승하였다. 또한, 수분에 대한 친화도가 작은 불소기를 함유하는 이미드 올리고머와 패킹정도의 증가로 인하여 semi-IPN의 확산계수와 수분흡수량이 감소하였다. 이와 같이 열적 성질과 수분에 대한 안정성이 떨어지는 단점을 semi-IPN 구조를 통하여 보완할 수 있었다.

The generalized tangential stiffness matrix of semi-rigid frame element with shear deformations based on Haringx's shear theory is newly derived and compared with the previous study based on Engesser's shear theory. Also, linearized elastic and geometric stiffness matrices are newly presented from the exact tangential stiffness matrix. In oder to obtain the inelastic system buckling load of shear flexible semi-rigid frame structure, the Ef method by tangential modulus theory is adopted and the FE analysis programs are developed. Finally, the shear and semi-rigid effects of system bucking are investigated by two numerical examples.

We consider circular Rayleigh problem of hydrodynamic stability which deals with linear stability of axial flows of an incompressible iniviscid homogeneous fluid to axisymmetric disturbances. For this problem, we obtained two parabolic instability regions which intersect with Batchelor and Gill semi-circle under some condition. This has been illustrated with examples. Also, we derived upper bound for the amplification factor.

The use of composite semi-rigid connections is not fully exploited, in spite of its great number of advantages. Composite semi-rigid connections may lead to an optimal moment distribution that will render lighter structures. Furthermore, using the appropriate semi-rigid connection design, the stability of the frames against lateral loads may entirely rely on the joint stiffness, thus avoiding bracing systems and permitting more diaphanous designs. Although modern codes, such as the Eurocode 4 (EC4), propose thorough methods of analysis they do not provide enough insight and simplicity from the design point of view. The purpose of this paper is to introduce practical and efficient methods of analysis that will facilitate the work of a structural analyst starting from the global analysis of the composite frame and ending on the final connection design. A key aspect is the definition of the stiffness and strength of the connections that will lead to an optimal moment distribution in the composite beams. Two examples are presented in order to clarify the application of the proposed methods and to demonstrate the advantages of the semi-rigid composite design with respect to the alternative pinned and rigid ones. The final aim of the paper is to stimulate and encourage the designer on the use of composite semi-rigid structures.

반궤도식 임내작업차의 주행안정성 분석을 위하여 동역학분석 프로그램인 RecurDyn을 이용하여 횡전도 분석, 등판능력 분석, 장애물 통과 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 동역학분석 프로그램을 해석하는데 필요한 반궤도식 임내 작업차의 형상은 3D CAD모델러인 AutoCAD 3D를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 반궤도식 임내작업차의 공차 및 적재 시에서 횡단기울기 $20^{\circ}$ 이하의 지형에서 주행하는 것이 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 종단기울기 시뮬레이션에서는 공차 및 적재 시에 종단경사 $28^{\circ}$ 미만의 지역에서 주행하는 것이 안정적인 것으로 판단되었다. 장애물 통과 시의 주행안정성은 공차 및 적재의 경우, 전륜타이어가 주행속도 각각 5 km/hr 및 4 km/hr 이상일 때 지면과 분리되는 것으로 예측되었으며, 후륜궤도는 지면과의 분리현상이 나타나지 않았으므로 장애물 통과 시에는 최대 5 km/hr 이하가 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

옷감 시뮬레이션에서 explicit 방법은 시간격(time step)이나 스프링 인장력이 큰 경우 안정적이지 않아 사용할 수 없기 때문에, 느리지만 안정성이 높은 implicit 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 시간격을 크게 하는 것은 시뮬레이션을 빠르게 진행시키는 효과가 있고, 큰 인장력의 스프링으로는 잘 늘어나지 않는 옷감을 표현할 수 있다. 다른 방법으로는 explicit 방법처럼 계산이 빠르면서도 implicit 방법처럼 안정적인 특성을 가지는 semi-implicit 방법들을 찾는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 Kang(Kang and Cho 2002)의 방법을 개선하여 거의 explicit 방법에서 완전한 implicit 방법까지 조절이 가능한 실시간 옷감 시뮬레이션 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 explicit 방법처럼 간단하고 빠르면서 implicit 방법처럼 시간격(time step)이나 스프링 인장력이 큰 경우에도 안정적으로 작동한다. 또한 기존의 semi-implicit 방법과 비교해서 비교적 작은 인공적 감쇠(artificial damping) 현상을 가진다.

This paper describes the influence on the nonlinear critical speed results of a specific railway vehicle depending on various constraint conditions. In the roller-rig tests, proper constraints are inevitable to safely hold the test vehicles. Particularly, the test results using KRRI roller-rig are more sensitive to constraint conditions because it is a kind of semi-full car type. In this study, nonlinear critical speed of specific vehicle with regards to several constraint cases were predicted by computational analysis and these results were compared to find the suitable constraint conditions. And also the deviation of semi-full car model from actual full car model was investigated. According to the bifurcation analysis, the nonlinear critical speed are dependent with the constraint condition and car-body yaw motion should be free to achieve more accurate results. And the difference between semi-full and full car model was so small that KRRI's semi-full car model are valid as long as the stability is concerned.

Passive, semi-active and active dampers have been used to dissipate energy in mechanical systems. Semi-active dampers have higher performance than passive dampers and require lower power to operate than active dampers. Its damping characteristics can be changed appropriately for varying conditions. In this paper, we developed a semi-active damper based on Magnetorheological(MR) fluid. MR fluid has a variable damping characteristics proportional for the magnetic field intensity. It has several advantages such as high strength, low viscosity, robustness in impurities and wide temperature range of operational stability. We designed a constrained rotary MR damper base on valve mode which can dissipate more energy per unit volume. The system with Bingham characteristics is obtained and proved by the experiment.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate new semi-abrasive free slurry including acid colloidal silica and hydrogen peroxide for copper chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP). In general, slurry for copper CMP consists of colloidal silica as an abrasive, organic acid as a complex-forming agent, hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, a film forming agent, a pH control agent and several additives. We developed new semi-abrasive free slurry (SAFS) including below 0.5％ acid colloidal silica. We evaluated additives as stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide as well as accelerators in tantalum nitride CMP process. We also estimated dispersion stability and Zeta potential of the acid colloidal silica with additives. The extent of enhancement in tantalum nitride CMP was verified through anelectrochemical test. This approach may be useful for the application of single and first step copper CMP slurry with one package system.
