When the shear force governs the response of an RC element, as in the case of a low-rise shear wall, the effect of shear on the element's response is thought to be responsible for the 'pinching effect' in the hysteretic loops. However, it was recently shown that this undesirable pinching effect can be eliminated in the hysteretic load-deformation curves of a shear-dominant element if the steel grid orientation is properly aligned in the direction of the applied principal stresses. In this paper, the presence and absence of the pinching mechanism in the hysteretic loops of the shear stress-strain curves of RC elements was explained rationally using a compatibility aided truss model. The analytical results indicate that the pinching effect of the RC elements is strongly related to the direction of the steel arrangement. The area of the energy dissertation does not increase proportionally to the difference between the direction of the principal compressive stress and the direction of the steel arrangement.

In the previous study(Kim 등, 2004), the finite element method was used for the vortical vibration analysis of suspension bridge with the effects of the shear deformation and the rotary inertia under moving load considering the bridge-vehicle interaction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of an eccentric vehicle and shear deformation. So we firstly performs the eigenvalue analysis for the free vortical and the torsional vibration of suspension bridges using FEM analysis. Next the equations of motion considering interaction between suspension bridges and vehicles/trains are derived using the mode superposition method. And then dynamic analysis was performed using the Newmark method. Finally through the numerical examples, the dynamic responses of bridges are investigated according to the proposed procedure.

Plastic gradient from geometrically necessary dislocation(GND) can affect material behavior significantly. In this research, mechanical behavior of polycrystalline solid is investigated using the finite element method incorporating plastic gradient from long range dislocation or GND effect. Plastic gradient effect is implemented in the analysis model by considering a long range strain term as well as elastic and plastic terms in the multiplicative decomposition. In the model, gradient hardness coefficient and length parameter are used to evaluate the effect of the long range strains and sensitive study is conducted for the parameters. It is confirmed that the GND amplifies hardening response of polycrystals compared with the single crystal.

A series of torsion shear tests were performed to study the drained stress -strain behavior of medium dense Santa Monica Beach sand under various stress paths. The torque was applied to both clockwise and counterclockwise directions at the end of hollow cylinder specimen. Two clip gages had been previously used to measure the changes in wall thickness and diameter of the specimen. In this study, however, the lateral strain was determined by measuring volume changes in specimen. Specimens were prepared by the air pluviation method and gaseous carbon deozide( CO2) was used to measure precisely volumetric strain in specimen. The drained stress -strain behavior of cohesionless Boils during rotation of principal stress directions was analysed based on the results of torsion shear tests. The coupling of mal stress were applied. It was also found from the test results that the atrial strain at failure decreased with increasing value.

In this study, advanced (fluid-structure interaction (FSI)) analysis system has been developed in order to predict turbine cascade performance with blade deformation effect due to aerodynamic loads. Intereference effects due to the relative movement of the rotor cascade with respect to the stator cascade are also considered. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with one equation Spalart-Allmaras and two-equation k-ω SST turbulence models are solved to accurately predict fluid dynamic loads considering flow separation effects. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the (coupled Newmark time-integration method) with high artificial damping is efficiently used to compute the complex fluid-structure interaction problem. Predicted aerodynamic performance considering structural deformation effect of the blade shows somewhat different results compared to the case of rigid blade model. Cascade performance evaluations for different elastic axis positions are importantly presented and its aeroelastic effects are investigated.

The purpose of this study was to investigate abdominal local muscle activity during modified bridge exercise. 17 subjects participated in this study. Abdominal muscles measured. External oblique abdominis (EO), internal oblique abdominis (IO), transvers abdominis (TrA), and rectus abdominis (RA) during general bridge exercise and modified bridge exercise, respectively. Electromyogram (EMG) and real-time ultrasound were used to verify alteration of muscles. Activation of RA and EO muscles of non-dominant foot was significantly difference in general bridge exercise group, not modifiedl bridge exercise group. In the modified bridge exercise group, thickness of IO and TrA muscle of non-dominant foot was significantly difference in modified bridge exercise group than general bridge exercise group. Therefore, modified bridge exercise may be apply as more effective exercise for local muscle activity than global muscle.

The prediction to the hydroscopic moisture warping behaviors is analyzed for cellulose-based laminates using a numerical method base on a modified classical laminate(MCL) theory for hygroscopic moisture deformations with cycling testing data. The experimental measurement of the interferometric hygroscopic warping effects, moisture generator, and curvature of cellulose reinforced epoxy laminates is studied under cyclic environmental conditions using a Moire interferometer coupled. Accurate determination of curvatures provides a description of dimensional stability evolution; the tools for validation of computational internal stress and for the warpage prediction in model safety.

임계연신비로 특징지어지는 비등온 방사공정에서의 Draw Resonance 발생을, White 의 변형속도에 따라 변하는 물질의 이완시간 모델에 의한 convected Maxwell 유체의 방사 모형을 사용해서 연구했다. 임계연신비의 계산에는 다른 연구자들이 이용하는 통상의 복잡 한 수치계산인 eigenvalue 방법을 쓰지 않고 전파하는 동적 waves 에 근거한 간단한 Hyun 의 이론을 사용했다. 그 결과 Staton Number와 냉각 공기온도로서 나타내지는 방사공정의 냉각이 공정을 안정시킨다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 다시 말해서 연신점도가 변형후화인 유체이거 나 변형박화인 유체이거난 상관없이 항상 Stanton Number가 켜지거나 또는 냉각공기온도 가 낮아질수록(즉냉각효과가 커질 때) 임계연신비가 커지는 것이다(단변형박화 dvcp의 빌부 구간을 제외하고) 한편 Draw Resonacnce 에 미치는 냉각의 효과는 무차원 이완시간(a Weissenberg Number 혹은 a Deborah number)이 커질수록 작아진다는 것도 발견됐다. 이 것은 process Time 이 작아지면 열전달이 작아지기 때문이다. 이러한 내용들은 다른 연구 자들의 결과와도 잘 부합된다.

This paper reports the application study of the ground reinforcement under a buried conduit subjected to differential settlement via a finite element modeling. The soil-reinforcement inter- action helps to minimize the differential settlement between the adjoining conduit segments. Three different field conditions have been considered. The settlement pattern and deformation slope have been evaluated for each boundary condition. The analysis results are compared for both non-reinforced and reinforced case to measure the effectiveness of the soil reinforcement for restraining deformation of the conduit.
