Considering the non-linear behavior of structure and soil when evaluating a nuclear power plant's seismic safety under a beyond-design basis earthquake is essential. In order to obtain the nonlinear response of a nuclear power plant structure, a time-domain SSI analysis method that considers the nonlinearity of soil and structure and the nonlinear Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) effect is necessary. The Boundary Reaction Method (BRM) is a time-domain SSI analysis method. The BRM can be applied effectively with a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML), which is an effective energy absorbing boundary condition. The BRM has a characteristic that the magnitude of the response in far-field soil increases as the boundary interface of the effective seismic load moves outward. In addition, the PML has poor absorption performance of low-frequency waves. For this reason, the accuracy of the low-frequency response may be degraded when analyzing the combination of the BRM and the PML. In this study, the accuracy of the analysis response was improved by adjusting the PML input parameters to improve this problem. The accuracy of the response was evaluated by using the analysis response using KIESSI-3D, a frequency domain SSI analysis program, as a reference solution. As a result of the analysis applying the optimal PML parameter, the average error rate of the acceleration response spectrum for 9 degrees of freedom of the structure was 3.40%, which was highly similar to the reference result. In addition, time-domain nonlinear SSI analysis was performed with the soil's nonlinearity to show this study's applicability. As a result of nonlinear SSI analysis, plastic deformation was concentrated in the soil around the foundation. The analysis results found that the analysis method combining BRM and PML can be effectively applied to the seismic response analysis of nuclear power plant structures.

This study aims to develop a form-finding algorithm for a single-layered pneumatic membrane. The initial shape of this pneumatic membrane, which is an air-supported type pneumatic membrane, is to find a state in which a given initial tension and internal pneumatic pressure are in equilibrium. The algorithm developed to satisfy these conditions is that a nonlinear optimization problem based on the force method considering the deformed shape is formulated, and, it’s able to find the shape by iteratively repeating the process of obtaining a solution of the governing equations. An computational technique based on the Gauss-Newton method was used as a method for obtaining solutions of nonlinear equations. In order to verify the validity of the proposed form-finding algorithm, a single-curvature pneumatic membrane example and a double-curvature air pneumatic membrane example were adopted, respectively. In the results of these examples, it was possible to well observe the step-by-step convergence process of the shape of the pneumatic membrane, and it was also possible to confirm the change in shape according to the air pressure. In addition, the calculation results of the shape and internal force after deformation due to initial tension, air pressure, and self-weight were obtained.

When domestic sewage and rainwater runoff are discharged into a single sewer pipe, it is called a “combined sewer system.” The sewage design standards in Korea specify the flow velocity based only on the volume of rainfall; therefore, sedimentation occurs on non-rainy days owing to the reduced flow rate and velocity. This sedimentation reduces the discharge capacity, causes unpleasant odors, and exacerbates the problem of combined sewer overflow concentration. To address this problem, the amount of sewage on non-rainy days, not just the volume of rainfall, should also be considered. There are various theories on sedimentation in sewer movement. This study introduces a self-cleansing velocity based on tractive force theory. By applying a self-cleansing velocity equivalent to the critical shear stress of a sand particle, sedimentation can be reduced on non-rainy days. The amount of sewage changes according to the water use pattern of citizens. The design hourly maximum wastewater flow was considered as a representative value, and the velocity of this flow should be more than the self-cleansing velocity. This design method requires a steeper gradient than existing design criteria. Therefore, the existing sewer pipelines need to be improved and repaired accordingly. In this study, five types of improvement and repair methods that can maximize the use of existing pipelines and minimize the depth of excavation are proposed. The key technologies utilized are trenchless sewer rehabilitation and complex cross-section pipes. Trenchless sewer rehabilitation is a popular sewage repair method. However, it is complex because the cross-section pipes do not have a universal design and require continuous research and development. In an old metropolis with a combined sewer system, it is difficult to carry out excavation work; hence, the methods presented in this study may be useful in the future.

In this paper, the shape adjustment algorithm of the spoked wheel cable structures with retractable membrane system is studied. The initial tension of the membrane or cable is necessary to form the structure and its value is determined by the design shape. However, due to internal and external environmental influences, its shape may be different from the initial designed shape. In the case of the cable structures covered in this study, tension adjustment is necessary to maintain the designed shape because it influences the tension of the cable depending on the state of the retractable membrane. Therefore, we proposed an adjustment algorithm of an initial shape based on the force method. The effectiveness and validity of the methodology were examined through the applicable cable structures. The results of the shape adjustment analysis of the symmetric spoked wheel cable model were reliable and accurate results were obtained.

The aim of this study was to carry out the comparative analysis of the brushing force following various brushing techniques bytoothbrush mounted pressure sensing unit. The study group consisted of 10 dental hygienist participants. The brushing forces (on buccal area of each first molar) were monitored on 8 different kinds of brushing techniques; Fones, Bass, Rolling, Scrub, Charters, stillman, Modified bass and Modified stillman. In Bass, Charters, Fones and Scrub method, force distributions showed a small gap of maximum and minimum value (Max/Min) while a big difference was noted in Modified bass, Modified stillman, Rolling and Stillman methods. Especially, the biggest difference of Max/Min value was observed in the area of lower left first molar. In conclusion, highly delicate manual skill is needed in showing big error range of force distribution. It means that careful force needs to be focused during toothbrushing instruction when a delicate manual skill was carried out.

Aviation safety is increasingly important to secure the safety of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). A critical activity for enhancing aviation safety is to analyze an accident throughly and to identify causes that can explain it reasonably. The results of such a systematic accident investigation can be effectively used for improving information displays, task procedures, and training systems as well as for reorganizing team structure and communication control system. However, the current practice of analyzing aviation accidents in ROKAF is too superficial and simple to diagnose them systematically. Additionally, the current practice does not give a full consideration to human factors that have been identified as main causes of most of the aviation accidents. With this issue in mind, this study aims to suggest a new approach to analyzing aviation accidents related to human factors.The proposed method is developed on the basis of several models and frameworks about system safety, human error, and human-system interaction. Its application to forty-two human factors-related accidents, which have occurred in ROKAF during the last ten years, showed that the proposed method could be a useful tool for analyzing aviation accidents caused by human factors.

현행의 비정형 건축물과 고층 건축물의 풍하중 평가방법은 건축물의 진동모드로 선형모드를 사용하고, 1자유도 해석을 수행하기 때문에 고차모드 및 다자유도 해석에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 개발된 방법은 풍압적분법이다. 풍압적분법은 층별 풍력을 산출하는 방법으로 비정형 및 다자유도 해석을 가능하게 한다. 하지만 풍압적분법에 의해 다자유도 해석을 수행할 경우 그 유효성을 직접적으로 검증할 수 있는 방법이 없다. 따라서 선행연구에서는 풍압적분법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 건축물의 진동모드로 선형모드를 선택하여 하나의 풍향에 대한 풍압적분법과 기존의 풍동실험방법(풍력실험, 공력진동실험)에 의해 산출된 풍응답을 비교하였고, 그 결과 각 실험에 의한 풍응답이 모두 유사하게 나타났다. 선행연구결과는 하나의 풍향에 대한 결과이므로, 본 연구에서는 풍압적분법의 적용성을 높이기 위해 풍향변화에 따른 풍압적분법의 유효성 검증연구를 수행하였다. 그 검증대상은 풍력실험에 의해 산출된 풍응답과 비교하였다.

태풍 발생과 이동에 미치는 전향력의 영향을 살펴보는데 활용할 수 있는 실험 방법을 개발하였다. 실험 장치는 회전원판, 수조, 그리고 태풍과 유사한 모양의 소용돌이를 생성시키기 위한 발생기 등으로 구성되었다. 회전하는 원판에 놓인 수조에서 생성된 소용돌이는 그 형태가 수 분 동안 유지되었다. 반면에 회전이 없을 때는 소용돌이가 생성되기 어려웠고, 생성되더라도 곧 흩어졌다. 회전 유체의 역학적 특성은 전향력이 작용하는 대기와 유사하므로, 앞의 두 실험을 통해 태풍이 발생되기 위해서는 반드시 전향력이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 경사진 바닥을 갖는 수조 속의 소용돌이는 일정한 방향으로 이동하였다. 지형적 베타 효과를 고려하여, 우리는 바람 효과뿐만 아니라 전향력의 남북방향의 변화가 태풍의 이동에 중요한 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알았다. 이 연구에서 개발한 실험 방법은 학생들이 전향력과 태풍의 관계를 이해하는데 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 제약조건이 고려된 텐세그리티 구조물의 형상 탐색 방법에 있어서 기존의 하중법을 특이값 분해로 정식화 한 새로운 하중법을 제안하였다. 텐세그리티 구조물은 형태의 안정성 유지를 위해 프리스트레스가 도입 되어야하며 이를 위하여 형상 탐색이 수행되어 진다. 또한 실제 구조물로서 활용되기 위해서는 제약조건이 고려되어야한다. 기존의 하중법은 어려운 구조적 개념이 필요하지 않아 접근 방법이 쉽지만 많은 수식을 통해 형상 탐색을 수행하여야 하므로 이로인해 수지상의 오류가 발생할 수 있으며 내력 밀도법을 사용하여 형상 탐색을 수행 할 경우 제약조건에 맞는 가상의 부재(Dummy Element)를 찾는 것이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 하중법에서 사용하던 수식을 특이값 분해로 정식화하여 수치적 오류를 줄일 수 있는 새로운 하중법을 제안하였다.

케이블 구조물은 비교적 가볍고 넓은 공간의 형성이 쉬우나 유연한 특징으로 인해 형상의 제어가 매우 민감하다. 이런 구조물은 여러 이유에서 형상의 보정이 필요하며, 특히 부재 제어량과 어떠한 부재를 제어해야 하는가는 것은 많은 연구자들이 고심하고 있는 문제이다. 따라서 본 논문의 목적은 하중법(Force Method)를 이용해서 형상조절을 위한 변위 제어기법을 연구하는 것이다. 논문은 2장에서는 제어 방정식을 설명하고, 3장에서는 단순 케이블 넷 모델을 이용하여 동시 및 순차제어를 고려해 해석을 수행하고 결과를 고찰한다. 4장에서는 보다 더 복잡한 케이블 돔 구조물에 적용하여 가장 유용한 부재에 대해서 논의 하고, 5장에서 결과를 요약한다.

Tensegrity systems are stable structures which are reticulated spatial structures composed of compressive straight members, struts and cables. But there are some difficulties concerning surface stability, surface formation and construction method. One of the ways to solve this problem reasonably is combination of tesile members and rigid members. This structure is a type of flexible strutural system which is unstable initially because the cable material has little initial rigidity. Therefore tensegrity structure need to be introduced to the Initial stress for the self-equilibrated system having stable state. The rigidification of tensegrity systems is related to selfstress states which can be achieved only when geometrical and mechanical requirements are simultaneously satisfied. In this paper, for the stabilization of tesnsegrity structure it is proposed the modified self-equilibrated equation and the range of the various geometrical parameter about unit system. And we generate the model of double layed single curvature arch using the new squew quadruplex unit system.

In a recent construction industry, cable supported sσuctures such as a cable-stayed bridge or space stadium have been increasingly constructed according to rapidly upgrade their related technologies. Generally stay cables as a critical member need to be rearranged for being satisfied with design tension forces. In this purpose, a vibration method has been applied to estimate the tension forces exerted on existing stay cables. In this study, cable vibration tests were carried out to evaluate the cable tension forces comp와ing with theoretical and practical formulas. Using the measured frequencies ob않ined from free vibration and impulsive tests, an accuracy of the estimated tension forces is confirmed according to use the first single mode only or higher multiple modes.

This paper discusses the hydrodynamic characteristics of a catamaran at low speed. In this study, the Delft 372 catamaran model was selected as the target hull to analyze the hydrodynamic characteristics by using the RANS (Reynold-Averaged Navier-Stokes) numerical method. First, the turbulence study and mesh independent study were conducted to select the appropriate method for numerical calculation. The numerical method for the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) calculation was verified by comparing the hydrodynamic force with that obtained experimentally at high speed condition and it rendered a good agreement. Second, the virtual captive model test for a catamaran at low speed was conducted using the verified method. The drift test with drift angle 0-180 degrees was performed and the resulting hydrodynamic forces were compared with the trends of other ship types. Also, the pure rotating test and yaw rotating test proposed by Takashina, (1986) were conducted. The Fourier coefficients obtained from the measured hydrodynamic force were compared with those of other ship types. Conversely, pure sway test and pure yaw test also were simulated to obtain added mass coefficients. By analyzing these results, the hydrodynamic coefficients of the catamaran at low speed were estimated. Finally, the maneuvering simulation in low speed conditions was performed by using the estimated hydrodynamic coefficients.

토크쉬어볼트의 토크계수는 환경요인에 의해 영향을 받는다. 습기, 녹, 시공중의 작업성 등. 토크쉬어볼트의 토크계수의 변동에 기인하여 볼트에 도입된 축력을 예측하는 매우 어렵다. 이런 이유로 시공중인 볼트 축력을 측정하고, 체결력을 검증하는 것은 필수적이다. 이 연구에서, 볼트에 도입된 하중을 확인하기 위해 시작품 제작이 계획되었다. 시작품의 알고리즘은 토크쉬어 전동렌치에서 얻은 전기에너지와 유압축력기에서 얻은 축력과의 상관관계를 구성한 것이다. 직접축력을 계측하는 회귀분석식은 미니탭 프로그램을 이용한 통계학적인 분석방법에서 구한 것이다. 이 시작품은 상용 토크렌치에 견줄만한 인장력을 평가하는 신뢰성이 있는 도구라고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 대공간 구조물로서 2002년 건축된 6개 월드컵경기장 인장케이블의 특성과 관련하여 케이블의 고유진동수와 이를 이용한 기존 이론식들의 적용성에 대하여 실험적으로 검토하였다. 실험결과, 케이블의 휨강성을 고려함으로서 8%이내의 정확도를 가지고 케이블의 인장력을 추정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으나 휨강성의 영향이 큰 범위(ξ≤7)에 있어서는 추정오차가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있어 이 범위에 대해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료되며, 다중진동모드를 사용하더라도 단일진동모드를 사용하는 경우와 비교하여 장력추정 오차는 크게 개선할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다.
