Historical structures are the values that are of great importance to that country, showing the roots of a country, and must be passed on from generation to generation. This study attempts to make a contribution to this goal. Seismic damage pattern estimation in a historical brick masonry minaret under different ground motion levels is investigated by using updated finite element models based on ambient vibration data in this study. Imaret Mosque which was built in 1481 AD is selected for an application. Surveying measurement and material tests were conducted to obtain a 3D solid model and mechanical properties of the components of the minaret. Firstly, the initial 3D finite element model of the minaret was analyzed and numerical dynamic characteristics of the minaret were obtained. Then, ambient vibration tests as well as operational modal analysis were implemented in order to obtain the experimental dynamic characteristics of the minaret. The initial finite element model of the minaret was updated by using the experimental dynamic results. Lastly, linear and nonlinear time-history analyses of the updated finite element model of the minaret were carried out using the acceleration records of two different level earthquakes that occurred in Turkey, in Afyon-Dinar (1995) and Çay-Sultandağı (2002). A concrete damage plasticity model is considered in the nonlinear analyses. The conducted analyses indicate that the compressive and tension stress results of the linear analyses are not as realistic as the nonlinear analysis results. According to the nonlinear analysis, the Çay-Sultandağı earthquake would inflict limited damage on the minaret, whereas the Dinar earthquake would damage some parts of the elements in the transition segment of the minaret.

In order to improve dynamic characteristics of air spring with auxiliary chamber, finite element model of air spring R1A390-295 with auxiliary chamber connected with pipe is established,and through analysis to the dynamic characteristics of the model, influence discipline of sitffness characteristics to air spring with different pipe, different auxiliary chamber or different initial pressure are analysed under different excitation. The result show that:minor dynamic sitffness is obtained by using larger pipe or under lower excitation frequency,and as volume of auxiliary chamber increases, the spring dynamic sitffness will decrease accordingly and its amplitude tends to gentle,and influence for decreasing the spring dynamic sitffness is not obvious by continuing to increase the auxiliary chamber volume; the spring dynamic sitffness will increases as initial pressure increases. The validity of Finite element model is verified through dynamic characteristic test .

The System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor (SMART) developed by KAERI includes components like a core, steam generators, coolant pumps, and a pressurizer inside the reactor vessel. Though the integrated structure improves the safety of the reactor, it can be excited by an earthquake and pump pulsations. It is important to identify dynamic characteristics of the reactor internals considering fluid-structure interaction caused by inner coolant for preventing damage from the excitations. Thus, the finite element model is constructed to identify dynamic characteristics and natural frequencies and mode shapes are extracted from this finite element model.

This article took the climbing formwork which constructed on the bridge at a height of 100 meters as the prototype, then established the finite element model and conducted modal analysis. The APDL language is used to load the wind load which is simulated by the Matlab programming then calculated the displacement and acceleration responses of the climbing formwork and further. The results show that the bending effect of the climbing formwork is more obvious. This calculation method of calculating the wind load, improve the anti-wind design method of the climbing formwork.

The quality of high speed machining is directly related to dynamic characteristics of spindle-toolholder interface. The paper established normal and tangential interactions of BT spindle-toolholder interface based on finite element contact theory, and analysed free modal in Abaqus/Standard. Then the result was compared with the experimental modal analysis. It shows that the finite element model is effective and could be applied in the future dynamic study of high-speed spindle system.

Truncated conical vessels are commonly used as liquid containers in elevated tanks. Despite the widespread use of this type of structure worldwide, no direct code provisions are currently available covering its seismic analysis and design. The purpose of the current study is to assess the importance of considering the vertical component of ground accelerations when analyzing and designing this type of water-storage structure. The study is conducted using an equivalent mechanical model that estimates the normal forces that develop in the tank walls when subjected to vertical excitation. In addition, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed by modeling the walls of the tank using shell elements. The finite element model has been employed to predict maximum membrane and overall meridional stresses due to both hydrodynamic and hydrostatic pressure distributions. Comparisons have been conducted to assess the significance of considering vertical excitation and to identify the magnification in meridional stresses due to bending effects associated with support conditions and large deformations.

The behavior and capacity of embedded steel plates in reinforced concrete structures, are studied using a finite-element model developed for non-linear analysis. Strength interaction diagrams and moment-rotation charts useful for analysis and design of such plates, are developed for eccentric compressive and eccentric tensile loading, at failure and collapse. Capacities for a common class of embedded plates with variation in its thickness are computed for the cases of combined eccentric compression and shear.

In this paper, the working frequency band gap of ultrasonic motor (USM) was investigated under finite element model and experimental prototype. The findings indicate that the discrepancy between theoretical analysis and experimental test is mainly related to the fixation conditions of stator. This work proposes a new geometrical symmetrical stator for standing-wave-type linear USM to reduce the discrepancy. The first longitudinal and the second bending modes of stator are combined to drive the USM. Parameterized finite element model with actual boundary is developed to analyze and optimize the stator performance. The results show that the gap between working frequencies can be substantial reduced compared to the initial design.
