In recent, the capacity of a commercial wind power has reached the range of 6 MW, with large plants being built world-wide on land and offshore. The rotor blades and the nacelle are exposed to external loads. Wind power system concepts are reviewed, and loadings by wind and gravity as important factors for the mechanical performance of the materials are considered. So, the mechanical properties of fiber composite materials are discussed. Plain woven fabrics Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) are advanced materials which combine the characteristics of the light weight, high stiffness, strength and chemical stability. However, Plain woven CFRP composite have a lot of problems, especially delamination, compared with common materials. Therefore, the aim of this work is to estimate the mechanical properties using the tensile specimen and to evaluate strain using the CNF specimen on plain woven CFRP composites. For the strain, we tried to apply to plain woven CFRP using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method and strain gauge. DIC method can evaluate a strain change so it can predict a location of fracture.

Numerical method by Abdi et al. for obtaining a stress singularity near a crack perpendicular to the interface between two elastic materials is reviewed. More efficient and simple method to obtain crack singularity by shifting a mid-side node of 8-node isoparametric element is presented. It is observed that the present analysis provides increased accuracy for the expression of the opening displacement and the determination of the optimal position of the mid-side node for a wide range of material properties.

본 연구는 실리카흄을 혼화재료로 사용하여 1200kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$정도의 초고강도 콘크리트를 제조하였으며 이에 대한 재료특성을 실험 및 보부재의 휨거동을 실험을 실시 비교 분석하였다. 재료특성 실험으로는 기본적인 강도 시험, 파괴음 측정에 의한 AE실험 그리고 수은압입법에 의한 세공실험을 실시하였다. 초고강도 콘크리트의 재료특성치는 ACI 363의 고강도 콘크리트 재료특성 결가보다 크게 나타났으며 압축강도와 미세공극량은 선형적으로 비례하였다. 보부재의 휨특성을 파악하기 위해 인장철근비 변화, 전단보강근의 유무 및 철근 표면형상의 변화 등을 실험인자로 하였으며 각각의 현상을 비교분석함으로써 균열성상에 따른 하중-변위 관계, 중립축 이동에 따른 부재거동 및 응력블록의 변화에 관하여 비교 고찰하였다. 초고강도 콘크리트 사용한 보부재의 경우 중립축 상승으로 단면의 압축영역은 매우 작아져 급격히 압축파괴되는 경향을 보였으며 응력블록 형태는 삼각형의 분포를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 극지 빙해역을 운항하는 쇄빙선박이나 해양구조물에 작용하는 해빙의 재료특성을 계측할 수 있는 간이 실험 장비를 제작하였다. 극지 빙해역을 운항하는 쇄빙선박의 빙저항이나 해양구조물에 작용하는 빙하중을 추정하기 위해서 극지 현장에서 실규모의 시험을 수행하게 되는데, 저온과 얼음이라는 악조건을 극복하기 위한 빙역학 기술과 특수 장비가 필요하다. 국내에 한국해양연구원 MOERI 빙해수조가 완공됨에 따라 얼음의 특성을 고려한 모형빙 재료특성 시험용 계측장비가 일부 마련이 되었으나 빙해역 현장 시험에 대한 경험이 전무하며, 계측장비에 대한 지식과 기술 역시 확보되지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 차후 쇄빙연구선 ARAON호를 이용한 빙해역의 실선계측 시 해빙의 강도를 측정하기 위한 계측시스템 마련의 일환으로 시험편 획득을 위한 코어링 장비와, 해빙의 재료특성 중 1축 압축강도를 측정하기 위한 간이 압축시험기 그리고 얼음의 결정구조를 파악하기 위한 편광기를 제작하였다. 또한 극지 현장실험에 적용할 실험기법 확보를 위한 일련의 과정을 마련하기 위해 제작된 장비를 이용해 소양호에서 현장실험을 수행하였고 계측된 결과를 참고문헌과 비교해본 결과 유사한 값을 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In the particular situations where the crack is terminated at an interface of two materials, the order of stress singularity depends on the elastic constants which specify the properties of two materials. A multidomain boundary element technique is used to solve a crack normal to bimaterial interface. A correct order of shape function is used for displacement by using the isoparametric elements by shifting adequately the side nodes adjacent to this crack tip. A shape function containing the same order of singularity as that in the interface crack is also used for the interpolation of traction. Numerical testing of a binaterial with a crack normal to the interface is carried out with three-node elements. The results obtained are compared with the previous solutions.

A numerical model which can analyze the flow and bed topography characteristics of a single bend and continuous one was suggested using the equations of mass, momentum, the vertical distribution of secondary flow, and the transverse bed slope. The calculated flow and bed topography characteristic values were compared with the experimental data in a single bend, and the predicted path of maximum streamwise velocity in continuous bends also compared with the Vadnal and Chang's data. The comparisons gave good results. A curved channel with 180 degrees was used. Sand and anthracite were selected as bed materials in the movable bed experiments. The model application of this model to the sand bed and the anthracite one accorded well with the observed values in the experiments. This model was proved to be useful for predicting the flow and bed topography with the change of bed materials. The results of this research could be used to construct and control curved channels as a fundamental information.mation.

This research work contributed to a study for the procedure and methodology to assess the fatigue durability for a composite torque link of helicopter landing gear, which was newly developed and fabricated by the resin transfer moulding technique to interchange with metal component. The simulated load spectrum anticipated to be applied to the torque link during its operation life was generated using an advanced method of probabilistic random process, and the fatigue durability was evaluated by the strength degradation approach on the basis of material test data. The full scale fatigue test was also performed and compared with the analysis results.

Experimental study has been performed in order to construct the standard test methods and appraisal criteria by investigating the influence of specimen types(property, width, layers) and loading rate on the tensile characteristics of FRP used in strengthening RC structures. The FRP composite tested in this study are the unidirectional CFRP sheet/strip and the bidirectional GFRP sheet. Test variables consist of the various width ranging from 10mm to 25mm and number of CFRP sheets plied up to 5 layers. Test results indicated that maximum tensile strength and minimum coefficient of variation are recorded at each different width according to the fiber types and weaving directions. Also, the average tensile strengths of CFRP sheets are decreased as the number of layer of CFRP sheet are increased.

For the large scale reinforced concrete cooling tower shells, the shape imperfection can be introduced due not only to mistakes in the process of construction but also to the long term behavior of concrete. The shape imperfection evokes the additional responses such as displacements and stresses in addition to the design values. In this study, the statistical behavior of the RC cooling tower shell due to the shape imperfection is investigated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The radius of cooling tower and the shell thickness are adopted as the parameters which cause the shape imperfection. The shape imperfection is modeled as a stochastic field rather than the local one of axisymmetric or bulge type of imperfection. The randomness in the radius is shown to be more affecting the structural responses than the randomness in the shell thickness. In addition to the geometrical randomness, the effect of randomness in the modulus of elasticity on the structural response is also investigated and compared with that of the geometrical ones.

In the case of creating a site in the reclaimed land (public waters), due to the nature of the coastal sedimentary ground, large-scale construction materials are required, It is necessary to utilize soft clay, which is inevitably generated during construction of the complex, as a fill material in terms of resource recycling and economic aspects (reducing the amount of embankment required). In this study, changes in the consolidation characteristics of cut-out disturbed soft clay due to the recycling of soft clay soil were identified, and a consolidation settlement design plan was proposed. Through the results of the consolidation test of the study site, the change in consolidation characteristics (compression index reduction, precede load uncountable) due to disturbance (cutting) was confirmed, the method of calculating (consolidation settlement) the filling clay layer as the composite target layer (consolidation target layer, loading load layer) was analyzed as a result consistent with the actual behavior.
