A sophisticated finite element model is illustrated to analyze the behavior of Prefabricated Parallel Wire Strand(PPWS) sockets for main cables of suspension bridges. An orthotropic model is proposed for the casting material by considering both effects of individual wires and a casting alloy, and the contact between surfaces of a socket and a casting alloy is idealized by using the Coulomb friction and the surface-based contact model. The proposed FE model is verified by comparing the strain distributions obtained from the tensile test and FE analysis. The mechanical behavior of a socket is investigated with respect to the variation of the frictional coefficient. The result shows that the friction between surfaces significantly diminishes the stress concentration of a socket and a casting alloy, and the normal stress from the design equation represents the averaged value of the upper and lower quartiles in the distribution of contact stresses between a socket and a casting alloy.

Statement of problem: Implant supported overdenture is accepted widely as a way to restore edentulous ridge providing better retention and support of dentures. Various types of attachment for overdenture have been developed. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of attachment type in implant overdentures on the biomechanical stress distribution in the surrounding bone, prosthesis and interface between implant and bone. Material and methods: Finite element analysis method was used. Average CT image of mandibular body(Digital $Korea^{(R)}$, KISTI, Korea) was used to produce a mandibular model. Overdentures were placed instead of mandibular teeth and 2mm of mucosa was inserted between the overdenture and mandible. Two implants($USII^{(R)}$, Osstem, Korea) were placed at both cuspid area and 4 types of overdenture were fabricated ; ball and socket, Locator, magnet and bar type. Load was applied on the from second premolar to second molar tooth area. 6 times of finite element analyses were performed according to the direction of the force $90^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$ and unilateral or bilateral force applied. The stress at interface between implants and bone, and prosthesis and the bone around implants ware compared using von Mises stress. The results were explained with color coded graphs based on the equivalent stress to distinguish the force distribution pattern and the site of maximum stress concentration. Results: Unilateral loading showed that connection area between implant fixture and bar generated maximum stress in bar type overdentures. Bar type produced 100 Mpa which means the most among 4 types of attachments. Bilateral loading, however, showed that bar type was more stable than other implants(magnet, ball and socket). 26 Mpa of bar type was about a half of other types on overdenture under $90^{\circ}$ bilateral loading. Conclusions: In any directions of stress, bar type was proved to be the most vulnerable type in both implants and overdentures. Interface stress did not show any significant difference in stress distribution pattern.

Internationally representative steel design standards have forbidden or limited the application of high-strength steels to tubular joints, partly because of concerns about their unique material characteristics such as high yield ratio. Most of design standards stipulate that for steels whose yield strengths exceed 355 or 360 MPa, the strength equations cannot be utilized or strength reduction factor below 1.0 should be multiplied. However, the mechanical background behind these limitations is not clear. Experimental testing of high-strength steel CHS (circular hollow section) X-joints recently conducted by the authors also clearly indicated that the current limitations might be unduly conservative. As a continuing work, extensive, test-validated numerical analyses were made to investigate the behavior of high-strength steel CHS X-joint under axial compression. Three steel grades covering ordinary to very high strength steels were considered in the analysis. Again it was found that the high strength penalty to the joint strength in current standards is too severe and needs to be relaxed. The high-strength steel joints under the effects of chord stress generally showed higher strength than the ordinary steel joints and their strengths were conservatively predicted by current standards. It is also emphasized that current format of the CHS X-joint strength equation does not reflect observed behavior and needs to be recast.

원자력발전소에서 원자로 냉각재 중의 용존산소 제어는 원자로 냉각재 계통에서의 전면 부식과 다양한 형태의 응력부식균열(SCC)를 완화시키는데 기여한다. 원자로 냉각재 계통내에 용존 되어있는 산소는 발전소 기동 시에는 하이드라진($N_2H_4$)을 넣거나 인위적 배기를 통해 제거하고, 정상운전 중에는 체적제어탱크(VCT)에 수소를 가압하여 제거시킨다. 계통내로 유입되는 용존산소를 최대한 억제하기 위하여 대부분의 원자력발전소는 원자로 보충수 탱크 상층부에 질소를 주입하여 탱크로 유입되는 공기를 차단하고 있으나, 이 과정에서 일부 수중에 용해되어 들어가는 질소는 계통 내에서 NH$_3$를 형성하여 화학체적제어계통(CVCS)의 이온교환 수지탑에 치환됨으로서 기포화 되어있는 Li을 계통으로 빠져나오게 하여 계통 pH에 영향을 미친다.(중략)

Polymeric composites exhibit highly nonlinear and rate dependent behavior during loading and unloading in off-axis directions. The equilibrium state of stress during loading is lower than the state of stress produced at finite strain rates. The amount of stress relaxation during loading decreases. Interestingly, however, the stress goes up to reach to the equilibrium state of stress for a fixed displacement during unloading. The unloading behavior is quite similar to the loading behavior. The stress relaxation patterns during loading and unloading is also similar, and those depend on the fiber orientation angles and the loading and unloading rates. The AS4/PEEK thermoplastic composite is used to characterize the relaxation behavior for different off-axis angles and loading rates. There exists a transient loading region at the beginning of unloading. The effective stress and effective plastic strain concept is used to establish a master curve of stress recovery pattern for different off-axis angles and unloading rates.

지하철 구조물과 같은 매스 콘크리트 구조물을 시공할 때 온도 측정을 하는 경우는 많으나 이는 내외부 온도차를 적정한 수준으로 유지하여 균열 발생을 제어하기 위한 수단일 뿐 균열폭을 일정한도 내로 제어할 수 있는 조치는 아니다. 매스 콘크리트 구조물에서 균열폭을 제한 값 이하로 하기 위해서는 적절한 양의 철근을 배치하여야 한다. 또한 시공 이음 등을 작은 간격으로 설치하는 것은 구속도를 완화시키고 온도응력이나 균열폭을 저감시켜 균열 제어상 매우 효과적인 수단이 될 수 있다. 그러나 시공 이음, 균열 유발 줄눈 등의 이음간 간격을 좁히면 내하력 수밀성, 내구성 등에 악영향을 미칠 가능성이 높고, 타설 회수가 많아져 동일한 공정이 반복 투입되므로 시공 속도의 저하 및 공사비 상승 등의 단점이 나타날 수 있다.(중략)

A functionally graded material is a nonhomogeneous material, which is composed of several different materials to maintain structural rigidity and endure high temperature loads. An analytical method is presenter to solve the unsteady heat conduction equation for nonhomogeneous materials. A one-dimensional infinite plate made of functionally graded material is considered. The approximate Green's function solution is derived and to be used to obtain the temperature distribution them the stress distributions may be obtained. The volume fraction, the porosity, the stress difference, and the stress ratio are the design parameters and are to be used to set up a systematic design procedure.

The release of residual stress by mechanical loading and unloading is often performed in the fabrication of box structure fur steel bridge. The proper degree of loading and unloading is significant at release method of residual stress by mechanical loading because that degree is changed by material and geometric shape of welded structure. Therefore, the simulation model that could exactly analyze the release of residual stress by mechanical loading is to be necessary. In this study, the non-linear behavior of weldments under external loading and unloading, such as the decrease and increase of structure stiffness, was investigated by monitoring of nominal stress and strain. Tensile loading and unloading test and the proper degree of stress relaxation was measured by sectioning technique using strain gauge. Analysis model that is indispensable for the effective application of MSR method was established on the basis of test and measurement result.
