In this paper, the previous damage models for structures and their components under seismic repeated loading were reviewed systematically. A failure criterion for steel members under severe cyclic excitations as in strong earthquakes was described. A new approach to seismic damage assessment for steel members was proposed. This method was based on a series of the experimental and numerical investigations for steel members under very low cyclic loading. In this study, very low cyclic loading means repetitive loading, 5 to 20 loading cycles, within the large plastic range. The proposed damage assessment method was focused on the local strain history at the cross-section of the most severe concentration of deformation.

In order to quantify the relationships of the important physical factors relating failure to strong earthquake loading, the plastic fatigue problems for structural components under repeated loading were reviewed first. A new concept of very low cycle fatigue failure for structural components under severe cyclic excitations as in strong earthquakes was represented. Also, an experimental study was made of the very low cycle fatigue failure of structural steel elements. It was attempted to realize the ultimate failure in the course of loading repetitions of the order of several to twenty. The test specimen had a form of rectangular plate, representing a thin-plated element in a steel member as wide-flange cross section. It was subjected to uniaxial loading repeatedly, until complete failure takes place after undergoing inelastic buckling, plastic elongation and/or their combination. It was seen as a result that the state of the ultimate failure is closely related to the maximum strain at the extreme fiber in the cross section.

In this study, mechanical tensile properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) composite cycled with thermo-mechanical loading under cryogenic temperature (CT) were measured using cryogenic environmental chamber. Thermo-mechanical tensile cyclic loading (up to 10 times) was applied to graphite/epoxy unidirectional laminate composites far room temperature (RT) to $-50^{\circ}C$, RT to $-100^{\circ}C$ and RT to $-150^{\circ}C$. Results showed that tensile stiffness obviously increased as temperature decreased while the thermo-mechanical cycling has little influence on it. Tensile strength, however, decreased as temperature down to CT while the reduction of strength showed little after CT-cycling. For the analysis of the test results, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of laminate composite specimen at both RT and CT were measured and the interface between fiber and matrix was observed using SEM images.

신경회로망을 동적 정보처리에 응용하기 위해서는 비대칭 결합 신경회로망에서 생성되는 동적 상태천이에 관한 직관적 이해가 필요하다. 자기결합을 갖고 결합하중치가 비대칭인 순환결합형 신경회로망은 복수 개의 리미트사이클이 기억 가능하다는 것이 알려져 있다. 현재까지 이산시간 모델의 네트워크에 대한 상태천이 해석은 상세하게 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 연속시간 모델에 대한 해석은 네트워크 규모의 증가에 따른 급격한 계산량의 증가 때문에 연구가 그다지 활발하게 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 뉴런이 최근접 뉴런에만 이진화된 결합하중 +1 및 -1로 연결된 연속시간모델 순환결합형 신경회로망의 동적인 상태천이 특성을 해석하여 이산시간 모델에서 기억 가능한 리미트사이클과의 차이점을 분석한다. 또한 연속시간 네트워크 모델에 카오스 신호를 인가하여 리미트사이클간의 천이를 제어할 수 있는 가능성을 분석하여 동적정보처리에 네트워크를 응용할 수 있는 가능성을 검토한다.

Rubber hose assembly for automotive hydraulic brake during operation is subject to combined stresses of cyclic pressure, cyclic bending and torsion as well as thermal load. The rubber hose is composed of ethylene-propylene diene monomer(EPDM) rubber layers reinforced by polyvinyl acetate(PVA) braided fabrics. A durability tester with loading rigs for inducing the above cyclic stresses was used to investigate failure mechanisms in the rubber hose assembly. Failure examination was performed at every 100 thousands cycles of bending and torsion. Hose samples were sectioned with a diamond-wheel cutter and then polished. The polished surface was observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Some interfacial delamination with a length of about 1mm along the interface between EPDM rubber and PVA fabrics was shown at the test cycles of 400,000. The delamination induced some cracking into the outer rubber skin layer to leading the final rupture of the hose.

The intuitive understanding of the dynamic pattern generation in asymmetric networks may be useful for developing models of dynamic information processing. In this paper, dynamic behavior of the cyclic connection neural network, in which each neuron is connected only to its nearest neurons with binary synaptic weights of $\pm$ 1, has been investigated. Simulation results show that dynamic behavior of the network can be classified into only three categories: fixed points, limit cycles with basin and limit cycles with no basin. Furthermore, the number and the type of limit cycles generated by the networks have been derived through analytical method. The sufficient conditions for a state vector of $n$-neuron network to produce a limit cycle of $n$- or 2$n$-period are also given. The results show that the estimated number of limit cycles is an exponential function of $n$. On the basis of this study, cyclic connection neural network may be capable of storing a large number of dynamic information.

본 논문에서는 양자화 결합 네트워크의 시계열 패턴의 기억 특성을 뉴로-칩 상에서 검토하기 위하여, 결합 하중이 $\pm$1 및 0로프로그램 가능한 네트워크를 설계하고 집적화 하였다. 제작된 칩 사이즈는 2.2mm $\times$2.2mm이며 1.2um CMOS 설계기술을 이용하여 7개의 뉴런과 49개의 시냅스 회로를 내장한다. 측정 결과, 설계된 네트워크는 동적 패턴을 성공적으로 기억한다. 또한, 특정한 리미트사이클을 네트워크에 기억시킬 수 있는 결합 하중의 구성방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 간단한 결합하중과 정밀도의 관점에서 하드웨어 구성에 유용하다.

It has been reported that neural network with cyclic connections generates limit cycles. The dynamics of discrete time network with cyclic connections has been analyzed. But the dynamics of cyclic network in continuous time has not been known well due to its huge calculation complexity. In this paper, we study the dynamics of the continuous time network with cyclic connections and the effect of chaotic signal in the network for transitions between limit cycles.

A nonlinear FEM analysis of steel members under very-low-cycle loading has been performed in conjunction with experimental works. This analysis is an FEM tracing toward cracking of steel members under cyclic loads such as a strong earthquake. After verifying the procedure by comparing global hysteretic behaviors from the analytical and experimental results, the local stress-strain hysteresis at critical sections for large cyclic deformations was traced by the numerical analysis. Local strain history was discussed in relation to cracking. Based on the experimental and analytical results, a new approach to seismic safety assessment for steel members was proposed in this paper.
