A roller rack pinion (RRP) system, which consists of a rack-bar and a cam pinion, transforms a rotation motion into a linear one. The rack-bar has a series of roller trains, and meshes with the cam pinion. This paper first proposes the exact tooth profile of the cam pinion and the non-undercut condition to satisfy the required performance by introducing the profile shift coefficient. The paper then investigates the load stress factors under various shape design parameters to predict the gear surface fatigue limit, which was strongly related to the gear noise and vibration at the contact patch. The results show that the pitting life can be extended significantly with an increase in the profile shift coefficient.

A metal-coated FBG (fiber Bragg grating) sensor has a memory effect, which can recall the maximum strains experienced by the structure. In this study, a nickel-coated FBG sensor was fabricated through electroless (i.e., chemical plating) and electroplating. A thickness of approximately $43{\mu}m$ of a nickel layer was achieved. Then, we conducted cyclic loading tests for the fabricated nickel-coated FBG sensors to verify their capability to produce residual strains. The results revealed that the residual strain induced by the nickel coating linearly increased with an increase in the maximum strain experienced by the sensor. Therefore, we verified that a nickel-coated FBG sensor has a memory effect. The fabrication methods and the results of the cycle loading test will provide basic information and guidelines in the design of a nickel-coated FBG sensor when it is applied in the development of structural health monitoring techniques.

The maximum moment may occur at interior supports of continuous bridges. If the bigger moment is applied on them, a local yielding at interior supports may occur. They may show plastic behaviors, and the moment will be redistributed. The strength design, L.F.D., redistributes 10% of the negative moment which is obtained from the elastic analysis. However, A.L.F.D method computes the moment which is redistributed. This moment is called automoment. The moment-rotation curve is needed to find automoment. In this paper moment-rotation curve for compact sections suggested from AASHTO Guide Specifications is used to find automoment. Based on A.L.F.D. limit states specification method, a three-span continuous bridge is designed.

In a photoelastic experiment, it is necessary to know the material stress fringe constant of the photoelastic specimen to determine the stresses from the measured isochromatic fringe orders. The material stress fringe constant can be obtained using a simple tension specimen and/or a circular disk under diametric compression. In these methods, there is generally a need to apply numerous loads to the specimen in response to the relationship of the fringe order. Then, the least squares method is used to obtain the material constant. In this paper, the fringe orders that appear on a four-point bending specimen are used to determine the fringe constant. This method requires four photoelastic fringes obtained from a circular polariscope by rotating the analyzer to 0, ${\pi}/4$, ${\pi}/2$, and $3{\pi}/4$ radians. Using the four-point bending specimen to determine the material stress fringe constant has an advantage because measurements can be made at different locations by applying a constant load. The stress fringe constant measured with this method is within the range suggested by the manufacturer of the photoelastic material.

세라믹 강화 복합 재료의 모재로서 사용되는 무정형 PEEK가 보여주는 self-bonding 현상의 주 기구인 PEEK체인들의 확산(interdiffusion)과 뒤엉킴(entanglement)이 일어나기 위하여 PEEK의 접합 면에서 반드시 선행되어 일어나야 하는 젖음성의 정도에 미치는 접합 공정 변수의 영향을 C-mode acoustic microscopy를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 또한 self-bonding 된 PEEK시편들의 전단 변형시 전단 하중의 증가에 따라 일어나는 접합 면에서의 debonding 정도를 측정함으로써 접합 면에서 일어나는 파괴 거동을 관찰하였다. 각각의 접합 조건에서의 젖음성의 정도는 시간과 압력의 증가에 따라 다소 증가함을 보여 주었으나, 접합 온도와는 거의 무관함을 보여 주었다. 또한 전단 파괴 시험시 각각의 접합 조건 하에서 개발된 self-bonding강도의 80%-90%이상의 전단 하중이 가해진 후부터 debonding이 시작되어, 이 후 하중이 증가함에 따라 급속도로 진행되어 파괴가 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

흙막이 굴착 및 절취사면의 보강공법으로 많이 적용되고 있는 앵커의 장력을 측정하는 전기저항식 로드셀과 스트레인게이지, 바이브레이팅 와이어 (vibrating wire) 타입의 모니터링 방법은 안전관리를 위한 장기적인 모니터링에 한계를 가지고 있어 이를 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 광섬유 센서를 이용하여 강연선의 변형률을 측정할 수 있는 스마트 텐던이 개발되었다(김재민 등, 2007). 앵커를 구성하는 7연 강연선(텐던)의 중앙케이블에 삽입된 광섬유브래그격자(Fiber Bragg Grating ; FBG)센서는 기존 스트레인게이지 타입에 비해 크기가 작고 내구성이 우수하며 전자기파에 의한 노이즈 발생이 없고 하나의 리드선으로 다중점 측정(multiplexing)이 가능하여 장기모니터링에 효과적인 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 FBG센서를 내장한 스마트 텐던을 실대형(Prototype) 앵커(L=11.5m)에 적용하여 현장 인발실험에 의해 시공중 장력 모니터링을 수행하고 로드셀 측정결과와 비교하였고 정착부에 설치된 FBG 센서로부터 앵커의 하중전이 계측을 수행하였다.

In this study, the use of a condensed model is proposed for the simulation of forming of sandwich sheet with pyramid core. A corresponding finite element analysis for L-type bending is carried out to prove the accuracy and the effectiveness. In order to improve the accuracy of forming analysis, more precise modeling of core shape and consideration of work-hardening of previous core forming are carried out. Simulation results are compared with those of experiment. Deformation shape and post-buckling behavior by simulation are in good agreement with those of experiment for the considerable range of deformation. From the comparison of force-displacement curve, it is shown that the proposed model shows good prediction of post-buckling behavior.

This study aimed to develop experiment-based limiting heights for interior, nonload-bearing, cold-formed steelwall panels sheathed with gypsum board and subjected to uniformly distributed lateral loadings. Th e limiting heightswere evaluated by their strength (for flexure, shear, and web crippling) and deflection. Limiting heights for deflectionlimits of L/360, L/240, and L/120 (where L is the height of the wall) were developed over the range of typical designpressures.

An in-situ experiment was performed to evaluate the pullout resistance capacity of chains which is used as a reinforcement of reinforced earth wall. It was also considered that chain was combined with a bar or L-type steel angle by the transverse reinforcement member in the experiment. About 80 pullout tests were peformed with varying the lengths of chain(2.0m, 2.5m, and 3.0m), the combination of each transverse members(chain only, chain＋bar, or chain＋angle), and the vertical placement of reinforcements. In the case that uses a chain only and a chain combined with bar, the maximum displacement was about 150mm and load continuously increased to the ultimate tensile strength of chain, and then tension failure of chains occurred. But in the case of a chain combined with angle, the displacement decreased to about 100mm and so it was expected that this combination can constrain the displacement of chain. On the other hand, comparing the yielding pullout load measured in the field to that calculated by theoretical equation, it is shown that measured values are 1.2~3.0 times greater than those of calculated values according to the length of chain, normal vertical stress, and the combination of chain with transverse members. However, the difference in the increment of yielding pullout load between bar and angle is not clear but it appears almost the same increment. It is expected that chain can be safely used as reinforcements of reinforced earth wall, although a theoretical estimation of the pullout resistance capability of chain is too conservative.

This paper checked up the safety criteria of the steel structural members by LRFD. And it calculated the resistance and load modulus for it by the proposed method, considering our circumstance, by establisting the taget relability index (${\beta}_0$), and compared their calculated modulus with the nominal safety factors of the road-bridge code and analyzed them. Uncertain quantity measurements fnr the resistance of the steel structural members and for the load effect are due to the method of the uncertain quantity analysis of the load and the resistance, of Galambos-Ravindra and SGST. The summary of the results is as follows: 1) Considering our circumstance, taget relibility index(${\beta}_0$) for current steel structural members are appropriate ${\beta}_0=3.5$. 2) Nominal resistance ${\Phi}^{\prime}$ of the strength design formula for 1) and nominal load modulus ${\gamma}_i^{\prime}$ are as follows; a) Both-sides support plate: ${\Phi}{^{\prime}}=0.75$, ${\gamma}_0{^{\prime}}=1.04$, ${\gamma}_L{^{\prime}}=2.08$ b) One-side support plate: ${\Phi}{^{\prime}}=0.82$, ${\gamma}_0{^{\prime}}=1.04$, ${\gamma}_L{^{\prime}}=2.11$.
