A fatigue analysis considering dynamic effects yields a more accurate fatigue life prediction than static fatigue analysis because it considers effects of inertia, flexibility and resonance that occur in the structure up to its natural frequency. However, the dynamic fatigue analysis of bogie frames of the rolling stock is not yet taken into account in the norm EN 13749. Therefore, in order to assure the safety of the rolling stocks, it is important to examine the fatigue analysis of that considering dynamic effects under applied load histories. Moreover, since the bogie frame consists of various welded joints, it is necessary to evaluate fatigue life of that considering welding properties as well as dynamic effects. In this study, under load histories converted from measured acceleration histories, static and dynamic fatigue analysis of the welded bogie frame are performed respectively.

Abstract: In this study, finite element analysis modeling is proposed to evaluate middle- and low-rise steel-frame buildings constructed in South Korea. Two steel-frame joint specimens with welding joint parts were constructed and evaluated. Two types of displacement load, monotonic and cyclic, were used to evaluate the steel-frame joint specimens. According to the experimental results, the maximum moment of the cyclic test results was 80% smaller than that of the monotonic test results. Local buckling was observed in the compression area of the H-beam flange. A finite element analysis model based on the experimental results was proposed to analyze the steel-frame joint specimens. The numerical results predicted the experimental behavior of the steel-frame joint specimens well. Therefore, it is possible to use the proposed finite element analysis model to evaluate middle- and low-rise steel-frame buildings constructed in South Korea.

In this study, analysis on the stiffness of the headrest, the stiffness of front-rear load and the torsion of cushion frame was performed using finite element method in order to investigate the properties of the stress-deformation by material characteristics according to the test requirements of FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard). The results are shown that AZ31 (Mg alloy) and A365 (Al alloy) with low modulus of elasticity and density have higher strain rate than steel in terms of stress-deformation and meet the standards for safety within 108 mm of the maximum amount of deformation. Considering it’s safety and durability, however, the selection of AZ31 for light weight seems difficult to gain the reliability because it causes an excessive deformation, and therefore it is not expected to be used for recliner where stress is concentrated and also the bracket linking rail and cushion frame.

The chassis frame generally consists of side members, cross beams, and several mounting brackets. Strength and fatigue behaviors of welded joints between members and brackets in a frame are a very complex phenomena, which comes basically due to the structural geometry, non-homogeneous material, and welding residual stresses. Therefore, the prediction of fatigue life for the welded structure is very difficult compared to that for the simple geometry. This paper presents the structural and fatigue analysis results for a body frame and welded joints under system durability loads. In order to fatigue assessment of welded joints, local stress approach is used for its simplicity, which is based on the several empirical S-N curves that are associated with welded joint types and loading modes. The estimated fatigue cycles of the welded areas in a frame were satisfied the target cycles under system load conditions.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were experimentally performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with L-type precast wall panels. The results were analyzed to find that the specimen with anchored connection experienced shear failure, while the other specimen with steel plate connection principally manifested flexural failure. The ultimate strength of the specimens was determined to be the weaker of the shear strength of top connection and flexural strength at the critical section of precast panel. In this setup of L-type panel specimens, if a push loading is applied to the reinforced concrete column on one side and push the precast concrete panel, a pull loading from upper shear connection is to be applied to the other side of the top shear connection of precast panel. Since the composite flexural behavior of the two members govern the total behavior during the push loading process, the ultimate horizontal resistance of this specimen was not directly influenced by shear strength at the top connection of precast panel. However, the RC column and PC wall panel member mainly exhibited non-composite behavior during the pull loading process. The ultimate horizontal resistance was directly influenced by the shear strength of top connection because the pull loading from the beam applied directly to the upper shear connection. The analytical result for the internal shear resistance at the connection pursuant to the anchor shear design of ACI 318M-11 Appendix-D except for the equation to predict the concrete breakout failure strength at the concrete side, principally agreed with the experimental result based on the elastic analysis of Midas-Zen by using the largest loading from experiment.

This study aims at developing a new seismic resistant method by using precast concrete wall panels for existing low-rise, reinforced concrete beam-column buildings such as school buildings. Three quasi-static hysteresis loading tests were performed on one unreinforced beam-column specimen and two reinforced specimens with U-type precast wall panels. Top shear connection of the PC panel was required to show the composite strength of RC column and PC wall panel. However, the strength of the connection did not influence directly on the ultimate loading capacities of the specimens in the positive loading because the loaded RC column push the side of PC wall panel and it moved horizontally before the shear connector receive the concentrated shear force in the positive loading process. Under the positive loading sequence(push loading), the reinforced concrete column and PC panel showed flexural strength which is larger than 97% of the composite section because of the rigid binding at the top of precast panel. Similar load-deformation relationship and ultimated horizontal load capacities were shown in the test of PR1-LA and PR1-LP specimens because they have same section dimension and detail at the flexural critical section. An average of 4.7 times increase in the positive maximum loading(average 967kN) and 2.7 times increase in the negative maximum loading(average 592.5kN) had resulted from the test of seismic resistant specimens with anchored and welded steel plate connections than that of unreinforced beam-column specimen. The maximum drift ratios were also shown between 1.0% and 1.4%.

RC shear wall sections which have irregular shapes such as T, ㄱ, ㄷ sections are typically used in low-rise buildings in Korea. Pushover analysis of building containing such members costs a lot of computation time and needs professional knowledge since it requires complicated modeling and, sometimes, fails to converge. In this study, a method using an equivalent column element for the shear wall is proposed. The equivalent column element consists of an elastic column, an inelastic rotational spring, and rigid beams. The inelastic properties of the rotational spring represent the nonlinear behavior of the shearwall and are obtained from the section analysis results and moment distribution for the member. The use of an axial force to compensate the difference in the axial deformation between the equivalent column element and the actual shear wall is also proposed. The proposed method is applied for the pushover analysis of a 5- story shear wall-frame building and the results are compared with ones using the fiber elements. The comparison shows that the inelastic behavior at the same drift was comparable. However, the performance points estimated using the pushover curves showed some deviations, which seem to be caused by the differences of estimated yield point and damping ratios.

Among the various parts of automobile, automotive seat is the most fundamental item that ride comfort can be evaluated as the part contacted at human body. Dynamic stabilities on 3 kinds of models are analysed according to inside beam configuration of rear seat frame in this study. Model 1 has the basic design of straight beam. Model 2 has the beam that is curved slightly from model 1 configuration and model 3 has honeycomb structure. Total deformations and equivalent stresses are investigated when these models are crushed at side. Total deformations due to frequencies are also obtained and critical frequencies on these frequency responses are investigated. By comparing total deformation configurations of model 1,2 and 3, model 1 and 2 apply the damage to passengers but model 3 absorbs the damage. Model 1, 2 and 3 show total deformations of 482.7, 178.9 and 151.62 mm at the critical frequencies of 180, 200 and 150Hz respectively. Because model 3 does not apply the damage to passengers and the total deformation at critical frequency becomes minimum among three models on frequency response, this model becomes most stable among 3 kinds of models when crushed at side.

본 연구에서는 고층 전단벽-골조 구조시스템의 효율적인 해석모델을 제안하였다. 전단벽-골조구조시스템은 휨거동하는 전단벽과 전단거동하는 골조로 구성된다. 그리고 전단벽-골조구조시스템의 변형형상은 골조와 전단벽의 상호작용으로 결정된다. 효율적인 해석모델에서는 이러한 거동특성을 반영되어야 하므로 골조와 전단벽을 분리하여 동적인 거동특성을 반영할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 벽체부와 골조부를 분리하기 위하여 T형 강체를 전단벽의 위치에 대체하는 방법을 사용하였다. 분리한 벽체부와 골조부 각각의 등가모델을 구성한 후 결합시키는 방법으로 고층 전단벽-골조구조시스템의 등가모델을 완성하였다. 제안한 등가모델의 정확성과 효율성을 검증하기 위하여 고층의 전단벽-골조 구조물의 시간이력해석을 수행하였고, 그 결과 제안한 등가모델이 해석시간과 컴퓨터 메모리를 현저하게 줄이면서도 정확한 결과를 도출하였다.

This study analyzes lifes and damages at two automotive grills in use through the structural analyses with fatigue. As maximum equivalent stress in case of aftermarket grill frame becomes smaller more 15 times than horizontal grill frame, aftermarket grill is shown to be more stable. The lowest damage becomes 2968 in case of ‘SAE bracket history’ with the severest change of load at aftermarket grill. As it becomes smaller more 5 times than horizontal grill frame, aftermarket grill has more durability. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, ‘Sample history’ with the slowest change of load becomes most unstable in case of horizontal grill frame but ‘SAE bracket history’ with the severest change of load becomes most stable in case of aftermarket grill frame. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design of automotive grill frame by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

A kart is a vehicle without the suspension system and the differential gear. The kart frame as an elastic body plays the role of a spring. By the cornering of a kart, rolling, pitching and twisting motions are induced in the kart frame. Also the slip or noncontact of the wheel and a permanent deformation of the kart frame can be induced. In order to examine closely this phenomenon of the twisting deformation, measurement and analysis on torsion working stress with strain gage and tracking system are needed. According to the measurement result, while steady state driving in a curve in general the torsion working stress of the kart frame will be increased depending on the vehicle velocity, but the kart frame will be not permanent deformed. However, analysis of the torsion working stress in comparison with torsion fatigue limit shows that while unsteady state driving as clash with same drive condition the racing kart frame will be deformed more quickly as the leisure kart frame.

A kart is a vehicle without the suspension system and the differential gear. The kart frame as an elastic body plays the role of a spring. By the cornering of a kart, rolling, pitching and twisting motions are induced in the kart frame. Also the slip or noncontact of the wheel and a permanent deformation of the kart frame can be induced. In order to examine closely this phenomenon, measurement on height-displacements with various sensors and tracking system and analysis on the kart frame twisting characteristics with the rolling and pitching angle are needed. According to the measurement result, while driving in a curve at high speed the kart frame is quite twisted. Analysis on the measurement results shows that a kart used primarily in high speed requires a frame with low torsional stiffness and a frame material with high tensile strength and large elongation.
