    In this paper, a simple method to find an optimal shell structure is proposed. In this method, a rectangular fixed design domain with given boundary conditions and body forces is modeled by voxel mesh, and strain energies of elements (voxels) are obtained by voxel finite element method. Next, elements with small strain energy are gradually removed by the Improved Evolutionary Structural Optimization (IESO) method. Finally, we can obtain a shell structure that shape, thickness and topology are optimized. In this paper, several numerical examples will be shown in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Recently, response control dampers are used to improve seismic response of high-rise building. In general, it is required to arrange the dampers efficiently on the plane of high-rise building structure. However, it is not easy to obtain the optimal placement of the dampers, because the damper’s performance depends on the dynamic behavior. Therefore, in this paper, a method to obtain an optimal placement of the response control dampers on the plane of high-rise building structure is proposed. In the present method, first, the dampers are placed on all possible places in the frame structure, and then the dampers are gradually removed by Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) method. The accumulated damping energy of the damper is used to determine the removal order. The effectiveness of the present method is verified by comparison with general placement plans.

    In this paper, we focus on façade design of buildings used prefabricated walls, and we propose a method to design the prefabricated wall using topology optimization method. In this method, artificial design elements are added to the topology optimization method. In this paper, 2-axis symmetry and continuous pattern are adopted as the artificial design elements. Improved ESO (ESO) method is used for the topology optimization method. ESO method is improvement of initial ESO method, and in this method, benefits of BESO, Extended ESO, and CA-ESO methods are combined. In this paper, several numerical examples of computational morphogenesis of prefabricated walls are shown in order to verify the application possibility of the proposed method to the façade design of buildings used prefabricated walls.

    Biomimetic technology (biomimetics) has recently attracted a great deal of attention in engineering field. Also, in architecture field, as represented by shell structure, biomimetics has been used for a long time. In recent years, the buildings which floors are supported by the structure such as trees or seaweeds have been built (Tod's Omotesando Building, Sendai Mediatheque). On the other hand, it is conceivable that the topology optimization can be used for biomimetics in architecture field, because it has been observed that the shape obtained by the topology optimization is relatively close to the natural form. Therefore, in this paper, several numerical examples of computational morphogenesis of building structures using IESO (Improved Evolutionary Structural Optimization) method3) are shown in order to verify the application possibility of the proposed method to the biomimetics. In IESO method, the design domain is divided in same eight-node brick elements (voxels), and in the optimization process, for solid element, it will be removed if the sensitivity number10) is less than the threshold value. This threshold value is obtained from the equation proposed in extended ESO12,13). This equation consists of the mean value of sensitivity number and the average deviation of sensitivity number with a control parameter. In the proposed method, the evolutionary volume ratio (reduction ratio) is given as an input data, and this control parameter is determined automatically in the program so as to satisfy the given reduction ratio approximately. Furthermore, in this paper, finishing algorithm is added to IESO. In this algorithm, first, the converged solution obtained by IESO is input, and then, the elements about 5% of the total elements of design domain are added according to the rule of CA method. Specifically, in order from the element which the sensitivity number is the greatest, the elements of the von Neumann neighborhood are added, and if the number of additional elements is greater than 5% of the total elements of design domain, this program is ended. Finally, the calculation of IESO is executed again with the smaller reduction ratio than the initial analysis (about 1/5∼1/10). Several numerical examples have been shown in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the effectiveness for the application to the biomimetics. By the numerical example which is used for design competition for a new train station for Florence (Fig.3), it is shown that natural and simple topology can be obtained by IESO (Fig.4), and it is also shown that if the finishing algorithm is added to IESO, the compliance of the solution obtained by IESO is less than CA-ESO (Fig.5∼8). (It was shown in the previous paper3) that the compliance of the solution obtained by SIMP is greater than CA-ESO.) In the next numerical examples, the structural morphologies which support the single or multi flat slab from various base support points is generated using IESO (Fig.9∼18). From these examples, it is shown that the structural morphologies like natural trees can be generated by IESO. It is concluded from these examples that IESO is one method which can be used for applying biomimetics to the building design.

    In this paper, a simple method for topology optimization of frame structures is proposed. In this method. ESO (Evolutionary Structural Optimization) method is applied to ground structure method. An exact optimal solution may not be obtained by ESO method because it is a heuristic method. However, the approximate solution useful for structural design can be obtained by this method. In the proposed method, the ground structure is generated by connecting all nodes by beam elements (but it is possible to limit the maximum length of the elements, and it is also possible to remove the unnecessary elements), and in the optimization process, the elements with the lowest strain energy are deleted based 011 ESO method. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, in several numerical examples, the solutions obtained by the proposed method in compared with the solutions obtained by the density approach method (mathematical programming).

    Recently, topology optimization of three dimensional (3D) structures is paid attention again by the development of manufacturing technology using 3D printer. Therefore, in this paper, an efficient topology optimization method for 3D structures is proposed. In the proposed method, CA-ESO method is used for the topology optimization and the voxel finite element method is used for the stress analysis of 3D structures. In this method, the design domain is divided in same rectangular parallelepiped elements (voxels), and in the optimization process, elements with low stress are deleted by ESO (Evolutionary Structural Optimization) method, and peripheral elements of the element with high stress are generated by CA (Cellular Automaton) method. Also, in the voxel finite element method, the stress assumed element, CG solver, and element by element method are used. Several numerical examples are shown in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method for 3D structures.

    Recently, many heuristic methods for topology optimization of structures have been proposed. However, the heuristic method has not been adopted by general-purpose software, because there are several problems in the computational efficiency and the reliability of the solutions. In this paper, a new heuristic method using cellular automaton (CA) and evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) is proposed for implementing to general-purpose software. In this method, the design domain is divided in same FEM elements (cells), and in the optimization process, the elements are deleted by extended ESO method, and the elements are generated by CA method. The performance of the present method is clarified by comparing with SIMP (Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization) method under the same FEM model and the same conditions. Several numerical examples are shown in order to demonstrate the computational efficiency and the reliability of the present method.

    In this paper, the traction method is applied to shape optimization of frame structures. The traction method was proposed by Azegami, but in the present method, the sensitivity analysis is different from Azegami's one. The compliance of structure is chosen for objective function, and the coordinates of all nodes of beam elements are chosen for design variables. The method of sensitivity analysis is similar to a method used in topology optimization, but in this case the sensitivity of coordinate transformation matrix and length of elements is necessary. The effectiveness of the present method is verified by comparing with methods using SLP or CONLIN. Several numerical examples of 2-D frame structures are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.

    The revised building standard law established in 2007 confused building confirmation application process in building work places. This cause of the confusion is related to the strict examination duty ruled by the revised law. In this paper, the contents of the strict examination were analyzed, the work rate was measured, and the working time was measured. Furthermore two techniques to make the examination process more efficient were proposed. One is an effective technique in strict examination, and another is an outline examination. In the outline examination the work rate is small, however a building confirmation application can't be judged exactly. In contrast, in strict examination work rate is heavy, however a building confirmation application can be judged more exactly. Both examination methods have different concept, however using both methods in coordination can make the examination process more effectively. In the previous paper, the strict examination process was shown, and in this paper outline one is mainly discussed.

    In this study, a simple system of seismic diagnosis is developed. In this system, potable accelerometer and impact force are used. The potable accelerometer was developed by Matsuura and Ohkubo. It is possible to measure vibration easily, because it dose not need wiring and it is compact. The impact force is used to vibrate wooden house. It can be given by human power, but in this study a vibration exciter is made in order to evaluate the present system precisely. The proposed system is evaluated by measuring the natural period and the damping factor of the experiment wooden house in Kinki University.

    In this paper, a ground structure approach for computational morphogenesis of building structure is shown. In this method, it is difficult to obtain exact solutions by general non-linear programming methods when the members of ground structure increase. In this paper, some examples that the solution dose not converge to exact solution are shown, and a method for solving this problem is proposed. In the proposed method, SLP or CONLIN method is used as solver of the optimization problem. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Also, it is shown that this method can be used for computational morphogenesis of building structure.

    In this paper, a topology optimization method to create damping mechanism of a building is shown. The topology is created on continuum divided in finite elements. In the optimization problem, the densities of the elements are chosen as design variables. The stiffness between the input point and the output point is maximized under the constraints of the displacement of the output point, the relativity displacement of the output point and input point, and the material usage. The optimization problem with different initial design variables is solved using the SLP optimizer, because the solution of this problem depends on the initial design variables. The initial design variables are given by random numbers. Some examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.

    In this paper, a shape optimization method for shell structures is shown. The present method is based on the traction method proposed by Azegami. However, the algorithm of the present method is very simple in comparison with the original method. The sensitivity analysis is not need in the present method. The method is similar to large displacement analysis based on update Lagrange, and it is named "deformation method" in this paper. The reliability of the present methods is shown by comparing with the original traction method and other shape optimization methods. Several examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present methods for shell structures.

    In this paper, the topology optimization method of link mechanisms is shown. In the link mechanisms composed of rigid bodies and hinges, the displacement of the output point can be controlled by the load of the input point. In the present method, the ground structure composed of beams is used in order to obtain the optimum topology of the link mechanisms. In the optimization problem, the sectional areas of the beams are chosen as design variables. The stiffness between the input point and the output point is maximized under the constraints of the displacement of the output point, the relativity displacement of the output point and input point, and the material usage. The optimization problem with different initial design variables are solved using the SLP optimizer, because the solution of this problem depends on the initial design variables.

    Since the possibility of Tokai or Nankai earthquakes, the reinforcement of the buildings is very important. The method using the CFRP tape is effective for the reinforcement of the floor slab. However, since it is relatively expensive, it is necessary to efficiently affix for the CFRP tape. Therefore, in this paper, the topology optimization method (density approach) is used in order to obtain the optimum layout of the CFRP tape. For this purpose, the FEM program for analyzing the laminate plate is developed, and the density approach with CONLIN optimizer is applied. In this program, the solid element based on the hybrid method is used instead of the conventional plate element. In this study, the void slab is used for the floor structure. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by the numerical examples and the comparison with the experiment.

    In this paper, the effective method for an elasto-plastic analysis is presented. In the overlaying mesh method, a local model is overlaid on a global model, the former represents high resolution of deformation and the latter represents rough deformation. However, when material-mixed model is analyzed using this method, the elastic constant must be the same at identical part between global model and local model. This makes modeling very inconvenient. In this paper, we clarify the behavior in the case of different elastic constant is used between global model and local model. In this case, the elastic constant of global model is ignored, and that of local model is adapted. By this theory, mesh of global model and that of local model can be made independently not only in geometric shape but also in material constant. And furthermore, this theory is applied to an elastoplastic analysis. In this method, global model is analyzed by liner analysis, and local model by nonliner analysis. We can reduce calculation cost by using this method.

    In the topology optimization analysis of continuum, the checkerboards, that is the fomation of regions of alternating solid and void elements ordered in a checkerboard-like fashion, often appear in the optimum solutions. In this paper, a nodeless hybrid element is proposed and this element is applied to the topology optimization analysis of continuum in order to solve the checkerboards problem. The proposed hybrid element is fomulated based on the idea of nodeless element proposed by Kawai et al. and the stress assumed element proposed by Sekiguchi and Kikuchi. The homogenization design method is used for the topology optimization analysis of continuum. Some examples of two-dimensional problems are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed element in the topology optimization analysis of continuum.

    In this paper, a topology optimization method of elastic link mechanisms is shown. In these mechanisms, the displacement of the output point can be controlled by the load of the input point. The mechanism obtained by the present method is composed of the frame structure with elastic members and semi-rigid connections. The ground structure approach is used in order to obtain the optimum topology of the mechanism. In the optimization problem, both of the sectional area of the members and the rigidity of the connections are chosen as design variables. The stiffness between the input point and the output point is maximized under the total weight constraint and the displacement constraint of the output point. The optimization problem is solved using the SLP optimizer. Several examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.

    In the structural design of ship hull, the shell element is used for the analysis of the global model. However, the analysis using the solid elements is necessary for the analysis of the stress concentration zone or the crack vicinity. Therefore, we proposed the mixed method for assembling the shell elements and the solid elements using the overlay method. In this paper, the effectiveness of the presented method for the bending problem is investigated. In the bending analysis for the shell-shell assembling using the presented method, it was proven that a numerical instability occurs. In this paper, it is shown that such numerical instability occurs in the shell-solid assembling, and the solution about this problem is presented. In addition, a problem in which the bending deformation is generated in the effect of local model is shown. The numerical instability in such problem is also investigated, and its solution is presented. Some simple examples are shown to demonstrate the present solutions.

The method to introduce discrete plane in Finite Cover Method to model the failure of ice is shown, and penalty spring is introduced to analyze the progressive failure of ice. One-dimensional examples and two-dimensional examples are solved to show the capability of the method.

    The Convex Linearization method (CONLIN), that is a dual optimizer based on the convex approximation concepts, is often used to solve the structural optimization problem, recently. The CONLIN optimizer has many benefits, for example, the handling of constraint conditions is easy as well as the SLP method, and the performance of convergence is excellent as well as the optimality criteria method (OC). In this paper, the CONLIN optimizer is applied to the topology optimization problem of frame structures in order to investigate the performance of this optimizer in the topology optimization analysis. The ground structure method is used to obtain the optimum topology of frame structures. The characteristics of the CONLIN optimizer are clarified by comparing with the SLP method and OC method. Several examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the CONLIN optimizer for the topology optimization analysis.

    In the topology optimization analysis based on the homogenization design method or the density approach, the checkerboards, that is the formation of regions of altemating solid and void elements ordered in a checkerboard-like fashion, often appear in the optimum solutions. Therefore, the filtering method is necessary for these approaches. In this paper, we present an effective filteing method for the topology optimization analysis using the optimality criteria method as optimizer. In this method, the value of the gravity control function is controlled as a constrained condition. The gravity control function, which was presented by the author in the topology optimization analysis using the S LP method , is defined from the relations of the density of an element with that of its neighbor elements. This function imposes the penalty in the checkerboards and the gray scale density, that is, if the fuction is high, the checkerboards and gray scales disappear in the optimum solution. In this paper, this filtering method is applied in the topology optimization using the homogenization design method and the density approach. Several examples of 2D and 3D problems are shown to demonstrated the effectiveness of the present method.

    Composite materials of two-dimensional structures are designed using the homogenization design method. The composite material is made of two or three different material phases. Designing the composite material consists of finding a distribution of material phases that minimizes the mean compliance of the macrostructure subject to volume fraction constraints of the constituent phases, within a unit cell of periodic microstructures. At the start of the computational solution, the material distribution of the microstructure is represented as a pure mixture of the constituent phases. As the iteration procedure unfolds, the component phases separate themselves out to form distinctive interfaces. The effective material properties of the artificially mixed materials are defined by the interpolation of the constituents. The optimization problem is solved using the sequential linear programming method. Both the macrostructure and the microstructures are analysed using the finite element method in each iteration step. Several examples of optimal topology design of composite material are presented to demonstrate the validity of the present numerical algorithm. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    In this paper, we present a method for preventing numerical instabilities such as checkerboards, mesh-dependencies and local minima occurring in the topology optimization which is formulated by the homogenization design method and in which the SLP method is used as optimizer. In the present method, a function based on the concept of gravity (which we named "the gravity control function") is added to the objective function. The density distribution of the topology is concentrated by maximizing this function, and as a result, checkerboards and intermediate densities are eliminated. Some techniques are introduced in the optimization procedure for preventing the local minima. The validity of the present method is demonstrated by numerical examples of both the short cantilever beam and the MBB beam.

    In this paper, we present an effective method for designing the compliant mechanisms by the topology optimization technique using the homogenization design method. In this method, a new multi-objective function which maximizes the relative compliance between input at the loading point and output at a prescribed point is defined. The topology optimization problem formulated using the homogenization design method is solved by SLP method. In this algorithm, with the size of the hole of unit cell, the angle of unit cell is made to be a design variable. The local minima occurring in topology optimization in which SLP method is used and the gray scale densities of optimal solutions are improved by .our presented methods. The effectiveness of the present method is demonstrated by numerical examples of the topology optimization on a short cantilever plate.

    In this paper, an analysis method by computers based on optimum design of frames with semi-rigid connection is shown. This method evaluates the connection stiffness and the member sizes as design variables. The discrete member sizes are evaluated by referring to the database system as continuous function. The optimization algorithm minimizes the cost of not only members but also the connections of the structure subjected to constraints on stresses and displacements under specified design loads. Four examples are presented to illustrate features of this optimization method.

    In this paper, the method of the optimal design for plane steel frame structures is presented. The sectional areas are automatically selected so as to be a minimum weight frame under the restraint conditions of the limited angle between the layers and the allowable stress in the composed members. In the present method, the sensitivity coefficients are numerically calculated by the finite difference method and the actual members on the market are selected by using the error functions between the obtained numerical solution and the discrete actual sectional properties of members. The interesting optimal solutions, which have the three local solutions, are obtained in an example of the plane steel frame with 5 floors and 3 spans.

    In this paper, we investigate three characteristics of seismic response in the friction systems. First contents are base isolation systems containing mass on the base floor. We compare the response of these systems with one in the case of no mass on the base floor. Second contents are friction coefficients depended on the sliding velocity. We explain the method to simulate, and show response waves calculated using four kinds of these characteristics. Third contents are non-directional friction forces on the sliding plane surface. We propose one method to analyze the response of friction systems including those forces. In addition, we show the locus of ground motion and sliding motion using single or two mass model subjected to horizontal bi-axial earthquake.

    In this paper, two analysis models for the coupled torsional-bending responses of thin-walled beam with discontinuously variable cross-sections are presented. These models are based on a thin-walled beam theory which takes into account shear deformation by the 2D or 3D shear warping function. A C1 continuous finite element with boundary contraction technique is used for the discretization. The compatibility condition of warping, which is automatically satisfied in the 3D shear warping model, is satisfied approximately in the 2D shear warping model by use of warping error minimization technique. By an example of box girder with open section, the accuracy and efficiency of present models are shown.

In order to realize the acual end conditio of the beam, a boundary contraction method for the additional degress freedom of out-plane warping due to shear is applied. By some examples of the closed and open thin-walled sectin beams, te accuracy and convergency of the numerical solutions are compared with the analytical solutions.

    In this paper, a new non-comforming 4-node quadrilateral plate bending element is developed. This finite element is formulated on the basis of Reissner's plate bending theory. The displacement fields in this theory consist of the two kinds of rotations. One is the differentiation of the deflection, the other is the shear angle of the plate. However, after the discretization procedure in finite element method, these two rotations at each node are unified to the one rotation of the cross section by the contraction method. This contruction is achieved by using the mechanical relations between the bending moment and shear force at each node. Several numerical experiments are performed, and show that the present element gives excellent results in the analysis of both thin and thick plate bending.

    In this paper, two analysis models, a uniform shear warping model and a nonuniform shear warping model for the thin-walled beam's flexural behavior are developed, which can show the precise distribution of normal stress and shear stress within the beam section including the shear lag phenomena. The mechanism of boundary condition of the developed shear warping models and their relation for the Timoshenko's beam model are discussed and clearly verified. By using the St. Venant's semi-inverse method, the uniform and nonuniform warping functions are defined. By two examples, the usefulness of the proposed analysis model is shown.

    This paper presents the new analytical method for the three-dimensional dynamic interaction problem between a layered soil and embedded foundations with arbitrary shapes. A soil domain is devided into the two subdomains by an artificial cylindrical boundary. A general dispacement field of the outer domain is expanded in a Fourier series and analyzed by the indirect boundary integral equation method which has been developed by authors in a thin layered soil model. The inner domain is discretized by ordinary boundary element method. Combining equations for the total domain are obtained by applying the Fourier inverse technique to the stiffness equations of the outer domain. The method is illustrated by the analysis of a rigid rectangular foundation embedded in an elastic uniform soil. The impedance functions and the foundation input motions are discussed as well as the distribution of soil pressure and the local effects of the side wall.

    This paper presents a procedure for the finite element analysis of high-order elastic fundamental solutions in two-and three-dimensional bodies. Three-dimensional fundamental solutions can be expressed by the Fourier's Series expansion with respect to the Coordinate ψ. Its Second-order solution correspond to the plane symmetric fundamental solution (Cerruti's solution) and is formulated in this paper by finite element method. Two-dimensional higher-order fundamental solutions under following load conditions are analysed by finite element method: (1) a couple, (2) equal and opposite moment of couples, acting on the straight boundary of an infinite plane. It is clarified that the usual two-dimensional fundamental solution can be solved by a simultaneous equation, however, the above higher-order two-dimensional fundamental solutions are analysed as eigen-value problem. By the present finite element method, the numerical fundamental solutions were obtained with good convergence.

    The effect of the backfilled soil on the dynamic response property of the foundation is investigated. For this purpose the new analytical method is also presented. The outer domain of a soil is analyzed by the indirect boundary integral equation method in the thin layered soil model which has been developed by authors. The inner domain which contains an irregular soft soil is discretized using the axi-symmetric isoparametric finite elements. Combining equations for the total domain are obtained by applying the principle of virtual displacements to the stiffness equation of the outer domain. The three types of the foundation are chosen as analytical models. The first is rested on the elastic base through a surface stratum. The second and third are floating in the homogeneous half space soil and the upper layer of the two layered soil respectively. The results obtained by numerical analyses are as follows. 1) The rigidly backfilled soil reduces the maximum response of the superstructure within the natural period of 0.3 or 0.4 second. Conversely the softly backfilled soil is usefull for the structure with the natural period of longer than it. 2) The maximum response of the foundation bonded to the elastic base becomes lower in a soft backfill rather than a rigid one.

    The boundary integral equation method based on the Green's function obtained by the thin layer method is very useful for the analysis of the foundations embedded in multi-layered visco-elastic soil. However, two problems exist in this method;!) the calculation of the stress components of the Green's functions introduces substantial errors near the applied point, 2) the solution of the dynamic stiffness analysis is disturbed in the vicinity of fictitious eigen-frequencies. The latter problem can be resolved by putting several constraint panels in the internal region. The former problem can be also resolved by modifying the stress matrix under certain conditions. This paper presents new conditions to modify the stress matrix. This conditions are derived from the boundary integral equations which the Green's functions must satisfy in the internal region when a applied point is in the external region. In order to show the validity of the present method, this paper presents the dynamic horizontal and rocking stiffness analysis of the cylindrical foundations embedded in the homogenious visco-elastic soil. Also we calculate the dynamic response of the cylindrical foundations embedded in the two layered visco-elastic soil when subjected to S-wave excitation with vertical incidence, and we qualitatively investigate the effect of the side walls of the foundations on the response of the soil-structure system by considering a model of structure consisting of the embedded foundation and the lamped mass system with single degree of freedam.

    The boundary integral equation method involving the Green's function by the thin layer method is very useful for the analysis of the excavated multi-layered visco-elastic soil. However, there exist two complexities in this method ; 1) the calculation of the stress components of the Green's functions introduces substantial errors near the applied point, 2) the solution of the dynamic stiffness analysis is disturbed in wide range near the natural frequency of the internal region. This paper resolves both of these complexities at once by putting several constraint panels in the internal region. Those panels are used for the purpose of taking away the internal resonance point from the frequency range of interest and deriving the conditions to modify the solution of the stress. In order to show the validity of the present method, this paper presents the dynamic torsional stiffness analysis of the axi-symmetric excavation.

    The boundary integral equation method involving the Green's function of the multi-layered medium by the thin layer method is very useful to evaluate the foundamental physical quantities in the dynamic soil-foundation interaction problem. However, there exist two complexities in evaluating these quantities by this method ; 1) the calculation of the stress components of the Green's functions introduces substantial errors near the applied point, 2) the solution of the dynamic stiffness analysis is disturbed in wide range near the natural frequency of the fundation (the internal resonance). In spite of the complexity 1), both of the imaginary part of the impedance and static impedance are rather exactly calculated by the indirect integral formulation. So, the real part can be indirectly obtained from them by the Hilbert transform, and also it can be directly calculated by modifying the solutions of the stress from the condition that the internal stress might be real value. The complexity 2) is resolved by putting the internal constraint surface in the foundation to take away the internal resonance point from the frequency range of interest. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed method, this paper presents the torsional impedance analysis of axi-symmetric foundation by use of the ring-line-load solutions in a thin layered soil.

    There exist three fundamental physical quantities in the dynamic soil-foundation interaction problem. These are the real and imaginary parts of impedance, and the seismic exciting force. An integral equation formulation based on the dynamic Green's functions for an elastic medium is developed for use as a tool in analyzing the fundamental physical quantities. A limited number of the evaluation for them are available at present, most of which are restricted to the case of flat foundations because in case of the embedded foundation the enormous computational time is needed for calculation of the dynamic Green's functions. It is the objective of this work to remove the limitation by applying interrelations of the physical quantities to the boundary integral equation method. The displacement field is represented by the displacement component of the Green's functions and the source distribution at the interface of soil and foundations. Both of the imaginary part of the impedance and the static impedance are directly obtained by the source distribution. The real part of the impedance is indirectly calculated from them by the Hilbert transform. The seismic exciting force is represented as the product of the source distribution and the free-field motion through use of the reciprocal theorem. Therefore, the evaluation of the physical quantities reduces to the problem of determining the intensity of source distribution. The proposed method resolves a prevailing shortcoming in the analysis of the embedded foundation ; the necessity of calculation for the stress components of the dynamic Green's functions.

    In this study, new structure disegn tools using the topology optimization method were developed for the design of buildings. In the topology optimization tool for frame structure, the ground structure approach was used, and in this tool, semi-righd connections can be treated. In the tool for 2 dimensional structure and shell structure, the homogenization design method was used. In the tool for 3 dimensional structure, the density approach and voxel finite element method were used. In these tools, clear topology can be obtained, because an effective filtering method was applied. In addition, the graphic user interface was developed in order to use for the education. Also, the Optimality criteria method and CONLIN method were used in tools in order to improve the calculation cost. These software will be opened to public as a book with CD from MARUZEN.

    In this study, a finite element method based on the thin-walled beam theory considering shear warping deformation is presented for the structural analysis of general formed thin-walled beams. The warping deformation is evaluated by the 3D sectional shear warping function added to the classical displacement fields of beams. Because the displacement fields of this model are based on the classical theory, it is possible to apply C1 continuity of the displacement between the neighboring elements in FEM formulation. In order to dissolve the fixed end boundary discrepancy, a boundary contraction method is introduced in the finite element formulation. By the numerical examples of a box girder with open sections and a tapered beam with continuously variable sections, the accuracy and efficiency of the present method are shown. And, in this study, a method of optimizing the shape and the stiffness distribution of a thin-walled beam structure is presented. The thin-walled beam can be analyzed by a finite element method based on the beam theory considering shear warping deformation. The objective for the optimization of shape and stiffness distribution is to minimize the compliance of the structure under the condition of a volume constraint. The size ratio of each cross-section and thickness of membrane plates are selected as the design variables. The optimum design problem is solved by sequential linear programming method. By a fundamental example of 2D cantilever beam, the validity of present method is shown. For the application of present method, highrise building models are analyzed as a thin-walled beam with equivalent strain energy. And the applicability of present method for the structural design or design planning of highrise building is investigated.

    1. Generally, the elastic fundamental solutions in the two and three dimensional elastic body can be aalysed as a eigen-value problem by finite element method. 2. However, the analysis of two dimensional Kelvin's. Boussinesq's and Cerruti's solution results in not the eigenvalue equation, but a simultaneous equation. 3. In three dimensional solutions, though Kelvin's and Boussinesq's solutions can be analyzed as an axi-symmetric problem. Cerruti's solution must be an alysed as plane-symmetric problem. 4. The elastic fundamental solutions and crack front solutions has the stress singularity with r^. The former has an negative integer power, the later has an real or complex power in 0
