Two methods of the nonlinear static pushover analysis have been presented for the performance-based seismic design and evaluation of MDOF continuous bridges. Guidelines for buildings presented in FEMA-273 applying the Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) and in ATC applying the Capacity Spectrum Method(CSM) have been modified for MDOF bridges. Two methods are compared with the time- history analysis. The lateral load distribution pattern for seismic loads has been examined in the static pushover analysis. The force-based fiber frame finite element has been implemented in the modeling of reinforced concrete piers.

일반적으로 기계계 또는 기계요소가 외력을 받아 진동할 때 공진이 문제시 되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 계의 공진 제어에는 주로 댐핑재료(damping material)의 사용이 일반화 되어왔다. 그러나 댐핑재료를 사용한 제어에 있어 서는 계의 특성이나 규모등에 따라 많은 제한요소가 따르는데 특히 구조물 의 규모가 커지거나 복잡해지면, 제어 위치선정에도 어려움이 따르며 그 효 과도 기대하기 어렵다. 다른 방법으로는 기계계의 동적 특성치에 변화를 주 는 것이나, 이를 허용하지 않는 계가 많다. 따라서 이러한 단점들을 보완하 기 위해서 고안된 것이 동흡진기(dynamic absorber)이다. 기존의 선형 동흡 진기[1]는 주공진 부근영역에서 가진되는 계에만 적용이 가능하기 때문에, 흡진기와 기계계의 크기비(ratio)의 결정이 제한적이다. 이런 제한을 극복하 여 비교적 넓은 범위의 가진 주파수에 대해서 최대의 응답을 최소화하기 위 해서는 비선형 동흡진기[5]의 해석이 요구되고 있다. 제어대상의 최적응답을 얻기 위해 흡진기의 크기를 변화시키는 과정을 tuning이라 하는데, 이 과정 을 통해 최적의 감쇠값을 결정할 수 있다. 비선형 흡진기의 장점은 tuning 과정시 비선형 파라미터 변화에 의해 제어가 가능한 영역을 확장할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동흡진기의 tuning 과정시 흡진기의 크기비와 비선형 파라미터비에 따른 효과를 정규모우드를 활용하여 고찰한 후, 최적의 응답을 통해 비선형 동흡진기의 동적 거동을 연구하였다.

The numerical analysis on tile behaviour of mooring system in the offshore guyed tower is presented. The governing equilibrium equations are derived by the principle of virtual work. The drag and inertia effects of fluid are included in a Morrison type equation. The finite element method is used in the computation. Geometric nonlinearities for the analysis of the mooring line are considered in which both modified Newton-Raphson method and Newmark-$\beta$ method are employed. Numerical experiments show the validity and the capability of the developed mathematical formulation.

This paper presents a nonlinear modeling method for dynamic analysis of flexible structures undergoing overall motions that employs the mode approximation method. This method, different from the naive nonlinear method that approximates only Cartesian deformation variables, approximates not only deformation variables but also strain variables. Geometric constraint relations between the strain variables and the deformation variables are introduced and incorporated into the formulation. Two numerical examples are solved and the reliability and the accuracy of the proposed formulation are examined through the numerical study.

The dynamic response of an axially deploying beam is studied when the beam has geometric non-linearity and translating acceleration. Based upon the von Karman strain theory, the governing equations and the boundary conditions of a deploying beam are derived by using extended Hamilton's principle considering the longitudinal and transverse deflections. The equations of motion are discretized by using the Galerkin approximate method. From the discretized equations, the dynamic responses are computed by the Newmark time integration method.

The finite element method has become the most widely used method of structural analysis and recently, the method has often been applied to complex dynamic and nonlinear structural analyses problems. Even for these complex problems, where the responses are hard to predict, finite element analyses yield reliable results if appropriate element types and meshes are used. However, the dynamic and nonlinear behaviors of a structure often include large deformations in various portions of the structure and if the same mesh is used throughout the analysis, some elements may deform to shapes beyond the reliable limits; thus dynamically adapting finite element meshes are needed in order for the finite element analyses to be accurate. In addition, to satisfy the users requirement of quick real run time of finite element programs, the algorithms must be computationally efficient. This paper presents an adaptive finite element mesh generation scheme for dynamic analyses of structures that may adapt at each time step. Representative strain values are used for error estimates and combinations of the h-method(node movement) and the r-method(element division) are used for mesh refinements. A coefficient that depends on the shape of an element is used to limit overly distorted elements. A simple frame example shows the accuracy and computational efficiency of the scheme. The aim of the study is to outline the adaptive scheme and to demonstrate the potential use in general finite element analyses of dynamic and nonlinear structural problems commonly encountered.

Space frame structures considering the components such as forms, layers, grids, etc. are possible to form a large space without interior columns. Here, steels having the yield strengths of 210 MPa to 450 MPa are generally used. The high strength steel (i.e., yield strength of 690 MPa) having suitable weldability, aseismicity and economics have been recently developed. In this paper, the high strength steel is applied to the space frame structures in order to analytically find out their transient responses considering the material and geometric nonlinearities. For various circular dome types of space frame structures, the modal analysis and nonlinear transient analysis are carried out using nonlinear three dimensional finite element analysis.

This paper presents a reliable numerical procedure for nonlinear time-history analysis of space steel frames subjected to dynamic loads. Geometric nonlinearities of member (P-$\delta$) and frame (P-$\Delta$) are taken into account by the use of stability functions in framed stiffness matrix formulation. The gradual yielding along the member length and over the cross section is included by using a tangent modulus concept and a softening plastic hinge model based on the New-Orbison yield surface. A computer program utilizing the average acceleration method for the integration scheme is developed to numerically solve the equation of motion of framed structure formulated in an incremental form. The results of several numerical examples are compared with those derived from using beam element model of ABAQUS program to illustrate the accuracy and the computational efficiency of the proposed procedure.

Long-rails in railways and high-speed railway are subjected to additional stresses resulted from the displacements inconsistence between upper structures, and this phenomenon is more remarkable in continuous bridges than in simple bridges. For the sake of safety, railways have to guarantee trains to stop safely without derailment even in the event of earthquake. The influences of acceleration, braking, and temperature were analyzed by static nonlinear method. But earthquake loads that require dynamic nonlinear analysis are not considered in these methods. Because linear relation between relative displacements of decks and rail stresses is not guaranteed at the nonlinear systems such as long rails on the bridges, it is required compute to rail stresses considering both braking and earthquake load by nonlinear dynamic analysis method. In this study, dynamic analysis method with material non-linearity for rails on continuous bridges according to the Taiwan High Speed Railway(THSR) Design Specification volume 9 was developed. And additional stresses and displacements of long rails for acceleration, braking, and earthquake loads were analyzed by this method.
