Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites not only approach almost near to the strength of thermosetting composite but also has excellent productivity, recycling property, and impact resistance, which are pointed as weaknesses of thermosetting composites. The study for strength calculation of one direction fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites and the study measuring precisely fiber orientation distribution were presented. Need the systematic study for the data base that can predict mechanical properties of composite material and fiber orientation distribution by the fiber content ratio was not constructed. Therefore, this study was investigated what affect the fiber content ratio and fiber orientation distribution have on the strength of composites. Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites by changing fiber orientation distribution and the fiber content ratio were made. Tensile strength ratio of $0^{\circ}$ direction of fiber-reinforced composites increased being proportional the fiber content and fiber orientation function as change from isotropy(J=0) to anisotropy(J=1). But, tensile strength ratio of $90^{\circ}$ direction by separation of fiber filament decreased when tensile load is imposed fur width direction of reinforcement fiber length direction.

The beam-column assembly in a ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to seismic loading are generally controlled by shear and bond mechanisms, both of which exhibit poor hysteretic properties. Hence the response of joints is restricted essentially to the elastic domain. The usual earthquake resistant design philosophy of ductile frame buildings allows the beams to form plastic hinges adjacent to beam-column assembly. Increased strain in these plastic hinge regions affect on joint strain to be increased. Thus bond and shear joint strength are decreased. The research reported in this paper presents the test results of five RC beam-column assembly after developing plastic hinges in beams. Main parameter of the test Joints was the amount of the longitudinal tensile reinforcement of the beams. Test results indicted that the ductile capacity of joints increased as the longitudinal tensile reinforcement of the beams decreased. In addition, both the tensile strain of the longitudinal reinforcement bars in the joint and the ductile ratio of the beam-column assemblages increased due to the yielding of steel bars in the plastic hinge regions.

In this study, the anisotropic mechanical property of fused deposition modeling three-dimensional (3D) printing based on lamination direction was verified by a tensile test. Moreover, the property was applied to solid isotropic materials with penalization-based topology optimization. The case of the lower control arm, one of the automotive suspension components, was considered as a benchmark problem. The optimal topological results varied depending on the external load and anisotropic property. Based on these results, two test specimens were fabricated by varying the lamination direction of 3D printing; a tensile test utilizing 3D non-contact strain gauge was also conducted. The measured strain was compared with that obtained by computer-aided engineering response analysis. Quantitatively, the measurement and analysis results are found to have good agreement. The effectiveness of topology optimization considering the lamination direction of 3D printing was confirmed by the experimental result.

The present paper provides the elastic stress intensity factors(SIFs) of thick-walled cylinder with non-idealized circumferential through-wall cracks. For estimating these elastic SIFs, the systematic three-dimensional(3D) elastic finite element(FE) analyses were performed. In order to consider practical shape of thick-walled cylinder and non-idealized circumferential through-wall crack, the values of thickness of cylinder, reference crack length and crack length ratio were systematically varied. As for loading conditions, axial tension, global bending and internal pressure were considered. In particular, in order to calculate the SIFs of thick-walled cylinder with non-idealized circumferential through-wall crack from those of thick-walled cylinder with idealized circumferential through-wall crack, the correction factor representing the effect of non-idealized crack on the SIFs were proposed in this paper. The present results can be applied to accurately evaluate the rupture probabilities of nuclear piping considering actual crack growth behaviors.

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.

준공 후 상당한 시간이 지나 내진설계가 되지 않았거나 내진상세가 이루어지지 않은 건물의 부족한 내진성능을 보완하기 위한 방법의 하나로 좌굴이 제한된 가새형 댐퍼를 적용할 수 있다. 이 방법을 적용할 경우, 기존 내진보강법의 불확실성을 줄일 수 있었음에도 불구하고, 댐퍼의 설계과정이 복잡하여 실무에 적용하기 어려웠다. 그러나 본 원고에서는 강성과 강도개념을 적용한 댐퍼의 설계법을 적용함으로써, 실무에서 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 준공된 지 16년이 지난 비틀림 비정형 건물에 대한 내진성능을 평가한 후, 가새형 댐퍼로 보강한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 일방향해석결과 나타난 골조별 하중-지붕변위의 관계를 이용하여, 연약골조의 강성을 강한 골조의 강성과 일치시키고, 이 강성비로부터 댐퍼가 부담하는 최적의 내력비율을 정하여 내진보강을 수행한 결과, 가새를 설치한 방향으로는 가새형댐퍼가 비틀림 방지와 연성증대효과를 구조물에 부여하여 성능이 획기적으로 증가하였다. 또한, 그 가새의 직각방향 하중에 대해서도 가새를 설치함으로써 비틀림 강성이 증가하고, 가새와 코어벽체가 인장과 압축으로 횡력에 저항하여 횡저항 성능이 증가하였다. (2) 내진성능이 부족한 비틀림 비정형 건물의 내진성능을 증진시키기 위해 가새형 댐퍼를 적용함에 있어, 댐퍼의 강성을 이용하여 구조체의 비틀림 거동을 최소화하고, 연성을 증진시키는 방법을 체택할 경우, 실무자들이 보다 쉽게 적용할 수 있으면서 그 효과도 상당히 클 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, we have constructed a measuring system to investigate tensile stress measurement of tendons, which is employed in bridges, by means of the non-destructive and non-contact method. The measuring system consists of tensile stress applying apparatus up to 2 GPa, and power supply for ac and dc current to tendon directly to magnetize tendon in circular direction and to coil wound on yoke to magnetize tendon in axial direction. We have used two kinds of tendon, which were produced by different companies, using the measuring system constructed in this work. Two kinds of experiments are carried out in this work; $1^{st}$ experiment : ac current was applied to the tendon and dc current was applied to coil wound on the yoke, and voltage induced from search coil wound on yoke (SCY) was measured and $2^{nd}$ experiment : dc current was applied to the tendon and ac current was applied to coil wound on the yoke, and voltage induced from search coil on tendon (SCT) was measured. In case of $1^{st}$ experiment, voltage induced from SCY was changed below 200MPa tensile stress but the voltage was not increased above 200 MPa. In case of $2^{nd}$ experiment, voltage induced from SCT was decreased up to 1.5 GPa linearly. We expect that $2^{nd}$ experiment could be applied to the non-destructive testing of tensile stress measurement of tendon.

The concrete deck slab at the continuous span support of the steel box girder bridge is a structure that is combined with the upper flange. It is a structure that can cause tension cracks in the deck slab at the support causing problems such as durability degradation in long span bridges. This is because the tensile stress in the longitudinal direction of the slab exceeds the design tensile strength due to the effects of dead load and live load when applying a long span. Accordingly, it is necessary to control tensile cracking by adding a reinforcing bar in the axial direction to the slab at the support and to introduce additional compressive stress. To solve this problem, a structural system of a steel box girder bridge was proposed that introduces compressive stress as PS steel wire tension in the tensile stress section of the upper slab in the continuous support. The resulting structural performance was compared and verified through the finite element analysis and the steel wire tension test of the actual specimen. By introducing compressive stress that can control the tensile stress and cracking of the slab generated in the negative moment through the tension of the PS steel wire, it is possible to improve structural safety and strengthen durability compared to the existing steel box girder bridge.

This paper deals with several statistical distribution functions for the analysis of fatigue life data of composite laminates for small wind-turbine blades. A series of tensile tests was performed on triaxial glass/epoxy laminates for loading directions of $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$. Then, fatigue tests were carried out to determine the fatigue life at the aforementioned loading directions and the fatigue stresses at four levels. Two-parameter Weibull, three-parameter Weibull, normal, and log-normal distributions were used to fit the fatigue life data of the triaxial composite laminates. The three-parameter Weibull distribution most accurately described the fatigue life data measured experimentally for all the cases considered. Furthermore, the variation of fatigue life was simultaneously affected by the loading direction and fatigue stress level.
