The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is extensively used to characterize material deformation behavior under high strain rate condition. In this study, the dynamic deformation behavior of aluminum 7075-T6 under a high strain rate and at a high temperature is investigated by using a modified SHPB set-up with the pulse shaper technique. The parameters used in the Johnson-Cook constitutive equation are determined by using the SHPB experimental results including the data on the effects of strain rate, temperature, strain hardening, and thermal softening of the material.

V.42bis, a type of LZW(Lempel-Ziv-Welch) code, is well-known as theinter national standard is asynchronous data compression. In this paper, we analyze several undesirable phenomena arising from the application of v.42bis to high speed data transmission, and we propose a modified technique to overcome them. the proposed technique determines the proper size of the dictionary, one of important factors affecting the compression ratio, and improves the method of dictionary generation for a higher compression ratio. Furthermore, we analyze the problem of excessive mode changes and solve it to a certain degree by adjusting the threshold for mode change. By doing this, we can achieve smiller variation of the compression ratio in time. This improvement chtributes to easier and better design and control of the buffer in high speed data transmission.

제 3원소가 첨가된 금속간 화합물 TiAI 금속간 화합물 분말을 PREP법(플라즈마 회전전극법)으로 제조하여, 통.방전 강압소결법에 의해 치밀한 소결체를 만들었다. 이에 대해 첨가 원소의 종류와 열처리에 따른 고온 및 상온 압축 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 소결체의 미세조직은 ${\gamma}$/$\alpha$2 lamella로 이루어진 완전 변태구조였고, 결정립의 크기는 140-150$\mu\textrm{m}$였으며 계단형 결정립계를 나타내었다. 소결체를 ($\alpha$+${\gamma}$)구역인 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 열처리한 결과, 모든 조성의 시편이 등축점 ${\gamma}$와 lamella로 이루어진 전형적인 duplexrn조로 변태하였다. 상온 압축 시험에서 시편은 파괴될 때까지 가공경화 현상이 나타났으며, Cr을 첨가한 시편이 가장 큰 파괴응력과 변형률을 나타내었다. 한편, 고온 압축 시험의 경우 온도상승 때문에 가공경화의 속도가 감소되었고, 80$0^{\circ}C$에서는 가공경화와 회복이 균형을 이루는 소위 정상 상태의 변형을 보였다.

Steel-embedded composite piers can enhance the resistance of core concrete by confinement of the steel elements and also can strengthen the stability of the embedded steel elements by concrete parts, so that the resistance of the composite members and seismic requirements can be provided without increasing section dimensions and self-weight. While modular composite piers with single segment do not need prestressing, precast segment composite piers with multiple segments need to have prestressing to prevent excessive cracking at the joints. Initial stresses and deformation by the introduced prestress are changed by long-term properties of concrete and need to be considered in the design. This paper deals with the prestress losses by the measurement of load cells, strains of reinforcements, concrete and embedded steel tubes.

The objective of this study is to identify the quantitative relationships among the important physical factors associated with failure of steel members under strong seismic excitations through very low-cycle fatigue tests. Very low-cycle fatigue is meant to be structural fatigue causing cracks and rupture in about 5~30 cycle ranges. The angle specimen was subjected to repeated axial Ioad after undergoing inelastic buckling. The test results reveal that the energy absorption capacities vary heavily with the history of loading and the failure mode. The maximum values of residual local strain at the initiation of a visible crack due to the very low-cycle fatigue were of the order of 25~40%, regardless of loading patterns, deflection modes, and width-to-thickness ratios.

In this study, the fiber blending ratio and strain rate effect on the tensile properties synergy effect of hybrid fiber reinforced cement composite was evaluated. Hooked steel fiber(HSF) and smooth steel fiber(SSF) were used for reinforcing fiber. The fiber blending ratio of HSF+SSF were 1.5+0.5, 1.0+1.0 and 0.5+1.5vol.%. As a results, in the cement composite(HSF2.0) reinforced with HSF, as the strain rate increases, the tensile stress sharply decreased after the peak stress because of the decrease in the number of straightened pull-out fibers by increase of micro cracks in the matrix around HSF. When 0.5 vol.% of SSF was mixed, the micro cracks was effectively controlled at the static rate, but it was not effective in controlling micro cracks and improving the pull-out resistance of HSF at the high rate. On the other hand, the specimen(HSF1.0SSF1.0) in which 1.0vol.% HSF and 1.0vol.% SSF were mixed, each fibers controls against micro and macro cracks, and SSF improves the pull-out resistance of HSF effectively. Thus, the fiber blending effect of the strain capacity and energy absorption capacity was significantly increased at the high rate, and it showed the highest dynamic increase factor of the tensile strength, strain capacity and peak toughness. On the other hand, the incorporation of 1.5 vol.% SSF increases the number of fibers in the matrix and improves the pull-out resistance of HSF, resulting in the highest fiber blending effect of tensile strength and softening toughness. But as a low volume fraction of HSF which controlling macro crack, it was not effective for synergy of strain capacity and peak toughness.

Because of crack control by steel bars after cracking the material models for reinforced concrete(RC) differ from those for plain concrete(PL). The nonlinear behavior of columns subjected to lateral load was simulated with reasonable accuracy in 3D analysis by applying distinct material models for RC and PL zone subdivided properly on the section. The shear strain is confirmed to develope unstably with ununiform distribution in out-of-plane direction. And this tendency becomes stronger as the thickness of column member increases in out-of-plane direction. If this ununiformity in strain distribution is not taken into consideration the capacity and the deformability of columns in shear dominant failure are overestimated excessively in two dimensional analysis. By introducing equivalent softening model a behavior of columns can be predicted too in two dimensional analysis.

In this study, we estimated the dynamic tensile strength and strain rate from Brazilian tensile test using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) system. A pulse shaping technique, which controls the shape of the impactinduce incident waves, was used for achieving the dynamic stress equilibrium and constant strain rate before fracture of rock samples. Three kinds of rock type, Inada granite, Kimachi sandstone and Tage tuff were prepared as 50mm in diameter and 26 mm in thickness. The high-speed videography system was used to observe the fracture processes of the rock samples. As the results of the tests, the ratio of dynamic tensile strength and static tensile strength was 11.9 for Inada granite, 8.5 for Kimachi sandstone and 9.2 for Tage tuff.

A thermal aging is observed in a primary reactor cooling system(RCS) made of a casting stainless steel when the RCS is exposed for long period at the reactor operating temperature, 290~3300C An investigation of effects of thermal aging on a low cycle fatigue characteristics included a stress variations caused by a reactor operation and trip, is required. The purpose of the present investigation is to find an effect of a thermal aging of the CF8M on a low cycle fatigue life. The specimen of CF8M are prepared by an artificially accelerated aging technique holding 300 and 1800hr at 4300C respectively. The low cycle fatigue tests for the virgin and two aged specimens are performed at the room temperature for various strain amplitudes($\varepsilon$ta), 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5% strain. Through the experiment, it is found that the fatigue life is rapidly reduced with an creasing of the aging time. The experimental fatigue life estimation formulas between the virgin and two aged specimen are obtained and are proposed to a analysis purpose.

Fatigue life prediction methodology of the rubber component made of vulcanized natural rubber under variable amplitude loadings was studied. The displacement-controlled fatigue tests were conducted at different levels and the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was selected as damage parameters. A fatigue life curve of the rubber represented by the maximum Green-Lagrange strain was determined from the nonlinear finite element analysis. The transmission load history of SAE as variable amplitude loading was used to perform the fatigue life prediction. And then a signal processing of variable loading by racetrack and simplified rainflow cycle counting methods were performed. The modified miner's rule as cumulative damage summation was used. Finally, when the gate value is 30%, the predicted fatigue life of the rubber component agreed well with the experimental fatigue lives with a factor of two.
