In electric vehicles, lightweight design is an important development objective for improving energy efficiency. Seat frame materials that are important for weight reduction use steel. In this study, weight optimization analysis was conducted by applying Almag, an aluminu-magnesium alloy material that offers excellent weight reduction while maintaining structural strength, to the seat frame. First, key stiffness members among the seat components were identified. Static strength analysis and natural frequency analysis were then performed on the steel seat frame. Based on the analysis results, a static optimization analysis was carried out for the application of the Almag material to achieve displacement levels equivalent to the static strength analysis. In addition, a dynamic optimization analysis was performed to maximize the natural frequency. Through these analyses, the optimal thicknesses of the seat back and cushion frame were determined.

This study investigates the framing patterns and content of news coverage surrounding the construction of the Islamic mosque in Daehyeon-dong, Buk-gu, Daegu. A total of 433 articles containing the keywords “Daegu” and “Islam” were collected from Naver News between 2021 and 2024 and coded according to the frames proposed by Bowe and Makki (2016). Subsequently, a corpus linguistic analysis was conducted for each frame to examine the keywords, collocations, and framing devices quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings revealed that, in the early stages of the event, the major frames appeared relatively balanced; however, over time, the reporting became fragmented, emphasizing either conflict or condemnation of hate. Furthermore, the distribution of keywords and collocations within each frame demonstrated that the same lexical items served different semantic roles depending on the frame. The use of framing devices also enabled a more detailed observation of how frames were constructed at the textual level. This study is significant in that it adopts an interdisciplinary approach combining framing analysis and corpus linguistics to provide a multidimensional understanding of how real social conflicts in multicultural contexts are constructed within news discourse.

This study investigates how the term burnout was framed, transformed, and made to function in Korean public discourse from 2010 to 2024. Drawing on 9,206 news articles retrieved from the BigKinds database, the research applies an integrated analytical framework combining Entman’s (1993) four framing functions with Leventhal’s Common-Sense Model (CSM) of illness representation. Five dominant frames —medicalisation, individualisation, normalisation, risk framing, and metaphorisation— were identified through quantitative content analysis and qualitative coding with MAXQDA 2024 (qualitative and mixed-methods analysis software). Results show a marked shift from a medicalised frame in Period 1 (2010-2015) to an increasingly normalised frame in Period 3 (2021-2024), indicating a recontextualisation of burnout from an individual pathological condition to a shared everyday experience. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests, interrupted time series analysis, and keyword network mapping, reveal significant temporal changes in frame distribution, functional complexity, and co-occurrence patterns. The framing functions were found to systematically structure CSM dimensions, shaping public perceptions of identity, causation, temporality, consequences, and controllability. These findings demonstrate that the reframing of burnout reflects not only shifts in linguistic representation but also broader socio-cultural and political reconfigurations, with implications for health communication, organisational policy, and public health strategies.

Recently, Car weight reduction has become an important development goal to improve fuel efficiency. Car seat frame is a key part of the weight reduction. Existing steel seat frames have the advantages of high rigidity and durability, but have the disadvantage of heavy weight. Recently, Almag material, which are alloy of aluminum and magnesium, is attracting attention because of excellence in strength and weight reduction. At first, the core stiffness members of the seat frame are selected to optimize the weight of the seat frame. And then strength analysis and natural frequency analysis are performed for the existing steel seat frame and Almag seat frame. Based on these analysis results, optimal thickness of the Almag seat frame are determined by an automation program using a genetic algorithm.

In the development of eco-friendly vehicles such as electric vehicles, weight reduction has become a very important design target. Seat weight reduction is very important in vehicle weight reduction. In this study, the energy absorption characteristics of Almag material, an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, and mild steel SAFH440, SAFH590, SAFC780, and SAFH980 were analyzed to obtain a true stress versus true strain curve that was correlated with the test. By performing the seat frame structure analysis using the obtained analysis material property, it was possible to compare the deformation between lightweight material, Almag and mild steel materials. In addition, it was confirmed that the weight reduction effect was 25.8% when applying Almag, an equivalent lightweight material that gives the same maximum deformation as SAFH980, a high-strength mild steel.

This study presents code-compliant seismic details by addressing dry mechanical splices for precast concrete (PC) beam-column connections in the ACI 318-19 code. To this end, critical observations of previous test results on precast beam-column connection specimens with the proposed seismic detail are briefly reported in this study, along with a typical reinforced concrete (RC) monolithic connection. On this basis, nonlinear dynamic models were developed to verify seismic responses of the PC emulative moment-resisting frame systems. As the current design code allows only the emulative design approach, this study aims at identifying the seismic performances of PC moment frame systems depending on their emulative levels, for which two extreme cases were intentionally chosen as the non-emulative (unbonded self-centering with marginal energy dissipation) and fully-emulative connection details. Their corresponding hysteresis models were set by using commercial finite element analysis software. According to the current seismic design provisions, a typical five-story building was designed as a target PC building. Subsequently, nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were performed with seven ground motions to investigate the impact of emulation level or hysteresis models (i.e., energy dissipation performance) on system responses between the emulative and non-emulative PC moment frames. The analytical results showed that both the base shear and story drift ratio were substantially reduced in the emulative system compared to that of the non-emulative one, and it indicates the importance of the code-compliant (i.e., emulative) connection details on the seismic performance of the precast building.

In recent automobile development, vehicle weight reduction has become a very important goal. Seat weight reduction is a large portion of vehicle weight reduction. In this study, a specimen tensile tests were conducted on the Almag material, which is an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, and also conducted on SAFH440, SAFH 590, SAFC780, and SAFH980, which are mild steel materials used in the seat frame. The tensile specimen tests were carried out in two speed; 2mm/s and 4mm/s, and the obtained stress to strain curve was converted to the analysis material card of true stress to true strain curve to be used in the seat structural analysis. The constructed analysis material card was used in the specimen tensile finite element analysis, and the analysis result was able to obtain the stress to strain curve similar to the test result.

내화 구조물에서는 환기 계수, 재료 탄성 계수, 항복 강도, 열팽창 계수, 외력 및 화재 위치에서 불확실성이 관찰된다. 환기 불확실성 은 화재 온도에 영향을 미치고, 이는 다시 구조물 온도에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 온도는 재료 특성과 함께 불확실한 구조적 응답으로 이어지고 있다. 화재 시 구조적 비선형 거동으로 인해 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 화재 취약성을 계산하는데, 이는 시간이 많 이 소요된다. 따라서 머신러닝 알고리즘을 활용해 화재 취약성 분석을 예측함으로써 효율성을 높이고 정확성을 확보하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 화재 크기, 위치, 구조 재료 특성의 불확실성을 고려하여 철골 모멘트 골조 건물의 화재 취약성을 예측 했다. 화재 시 비선형 구조 거동 결과를 기반으로 한 취약성 곡선은 로그 정규 분포를 따른다. 마지막으로 제안한 방법이 화재 취약성 을 정확하고 효율적으로 예측할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

Recently, the occurrence frequency of earthquake has increased in Korea, and the interests for seismic reinforcement of existing school buildings have been raised.

Also, this study presents the practical field application methods through the comparison of analysis results for the seismic performance characteristics.

The sub-frame is located on the lower body of a monocoque type vehicle and serves as an engine and suspension, and is an important object part that receives a lot of load. The existing press-type sub-frame has a large number of parts for assembling, which causes an increase in cost. Changing the machining form of this part from the existing press-type machining method to the hydro-forming machining method has the advantage of reducing the cost and weight at the same time due to the reduction of the process. Therefore, in this study, the purpose of this study is to change the design so that the sub-frame of the existing press type can be changed to the hydro-forming process method. To this end, we intend to present a design method by analyzing the effect on the rigidity of the sub-frame using the existing machining method through shape optimization analysis.

In this study, stiffness evaluation was conducted on the main member, front cross member, and rear cross member, which are three components of sub-frame for SUVs (sports utility vehicles), through mode analysis. As for the design variables used in the analysis, the maximum frequency was examined by varying the width and height of each of the three parts into four types. Of course, the weight at this time is minimized, and the mode is set as a constraint that only bending occurs and no distortion occurs. As a result of the analysis, the member affecting the 1st mode was the rear cross member, and the member having the greatest influence on the 2nd mode was the front cross member. In addition, the member with the greatest influence on the 3rd mode appeared as the rear cross member, indicating that this part had the greatest effect on the bending stiffness.

피암터널은 낙석방지시설 중 하나로 비교적 큰 낙석이 발생할 수 있는 급경사지 도로위에 건설된다. 일반적으로 피암터널은 약 200kJ에서 3,000kJ 까지의 낙석에너지에 저항할 수 있도록 설계된다. 기존 연구에서 이러한 피암터널의 효율성을 증대하기 위하여 콘크리트 충전강관(CFT, Concrete-Filled Tube)를 주구조체로 사용하는 신형식 피암터널을 제시하였다. CFT를 주구조체로 활용함으로서 급속시공이 가능하며 높은 하중저항 능력과 연성 또한 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 기존 연구에서는 선현 탄성 해석을 통하여 거동을 분석하여 한계를 가지고 있어 보다 실제적인 낙성하중을 고려한 3차원 유한요소해석을 통하여 제안된 피암터널의 거동을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 제안된 피암터널 주구조체에 대한 실제 낙석하중을 포함한 3차원 유한요소해석을 개발하였다. 이후 최대 낙석에너지에 대한 제안된 피암터널 주구조체의 낙석 저항능력에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다.

본 논문에서는 CR 쉘 요소 해석 기법을 활용하여 모터사이클 후방프레임의 해석을 수행하였다. CR 쉘 요소 해석기법은 적은 요소 수에서 NASTRAN보다 빠르게 수렴하는 결과를 보여주었다. 후방프레임은 수직 방향에 대해 실 주행 조건 시 엔진 RPM과 근접한 고유진동수를 가짐을 보여주었다. 2가지 설계변수를 반영한 세 가지 경우에 대한 해석이 제시되었으며, 보강용 자재는 동일한 중량 변화 내에서 두께 변화에 비해 더 유용한 수단임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 구조 해석은 차후 모터사이클 후방프레임의 내구성을 향상하는 설계 개선 연구에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다.

In this study, the structural and fatigue analyses were carried out according to the shape of the self-made car frame. As a result of structural analysis, all models are shown to have the weak strength and large deformation, as the equivalent stress increases at the forward part of the impact force. It can be seen that model 3 is deformed less than other models 1 or 2. And model 3 with the truss structure prevents the great deformation from the collision. In case of irregular fatigue loads, the fatigue life of the ‘Sample history’ increased by about 59.3 times compared to the ‘SAE bracket history’ under extreme fatigue load conditions, indicating that the fatigue load condition of the ‘Sample history’ were stable. The fatigue life and deformation of model 3 among all models are significantly different to models 1 and 2. If the research results are applied to the design of self-made cars, it will be useful for improving the durability and preventing the damage. The results of this study can be effectively utilized to investigate the values of stresses and deformations, and fatigue lives without the experiments of fracture and fatigue according to the shape of the car frame.

우리나라는 지진에 대해 비교적 안전한 지역으로 인식되고 있었으나, 최근 경주지진과 포항지진이 발생하면서 시설물에 상당한 피해가 발생되면서 지진피해 저감장치를 적용한 내진설계 및 보강에 대한 연구와 개발이 수행되고 있다. 이미 건축된 구조물의 유지⋅보수에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라, 구조물의 감쇠, 강성 등을 국부적으로 변화시켜 지진 하중에 의한 에너지를 흡수하고 소산시키는 내진설계 방식인 제진기술이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 강한 지진이 발생할 때 제진 장치의 손상으로 인하여 사용성이 매우 떨어지게 되는 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 구조물의 가새 부재에 별도의 열처리를 하지 않고 응력 제거만으로 원형복원이 가능한 초탄성 형상기억합금을 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비좌굴 가새 부재에 초탄성 형상기억합금을 사용하여 자동복원이 가능한 프레임 구조물을 구성하여 비선형 정적해석을 수행하여 구조물의 내진성능을 평가하고, 초탄성 형상기억합금의 재료적 특성의 우수성을 검증하고자 한다.
