The fracture processes under static tensile loading were simulated using a proposed numerical simulation method, based on finite element method and fracture mechanism, and analyzed to verify an influence of rock inhomogeneity on static tensile strength. Static tensile strengths for the specimen models with different spatial microscopic tensile strength when m=5 and m=50 were estimated. These analyses revealed that the static tensile strength becomes closer to the mean microscopic tensile strength at a higher uniformity coefficient and the scatter of the strength data decreases in increasing the uniformity coefficients. Therefore, it could be concluded that rock inhomogeneity has an effect on static tensile strength.

관이음부는 다양한 장점을 가지고 있어 여러 분야에 널리 이용되며, 관이음부의 구조강도를 증가시키기 위해 내부에 환보강재를 설치하는 방법이 대형 강관구조물에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 환보강 관이음부의 해석 및 설계 자료에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이므로, 보강재의 기하학적 특성과 정적강도와의 관계를 규명하고자 한다. 환보강 K형 관이음부의 정적강도에 대하여 수치적으로 검토하기 위해 원형 중공단면의 관이음부를 유한요소 모델링하였고, 각 부재의 직경, 두께 및 폭의 상관관계를 이용한 무차원 계수를 통해 보강재의 위치와 기하학적 형상에 따른 보강효과를 수치적으로 검토하였다.

The fracture processes under dynamic loading in tension were simulated using a proposed numerical approach and analyzed to determine dynamic tensile strength. The dynamic tensile strength and the scatter of the strength data decreased with increasing uniformity coefficients. The differences of static and dynamic tensile strength were due to the stress concentrations and redistribution mechanisms in the rock specimen. Although there were different mechanisms for the static and dynamic fracture processes, the static and dynamic tensile strengths were close to the mean microscopic tensile strength at high values of the uniformity coefficient. This paper shows that the rock inhomogeneity has an effect on dynamic tensile strength and is a factor that contributes to the different specimen strengths under dynamic and static loading conditions.

The objective of this paper is to numerically assess the behavior of tubular X-joints with an internal ing stiffener, and to evaluate the reinforcement effect of a ring stiffener, and to establish the strength formulae. Nonlinear finite element analysis is used to compute the static strength of axially loaded tubular joints. Numerical and experimental results are in good agreement for tubular X-joints. The chord lengths of simple and ring-stiffened X-joints are suggested to reduce chord end effect. And, internal ring stiffener is found to be efficient In improving static strength of tubular X-joints. Maximum strength ratios are calculated as $1.5\sim3.5$. Regression analyses are performed considering practical size of ring stiffener and strength estimation formulae for tubular X-joints with an internal ring stiffener are proposed.

In this study the overstrength factors of medium to low-rise bucking restrained braced frames (BRBF) were evaluated. Various design variables, such as number of stories, span length, yield strength of the brace, level of earthquake load, and the response modification factors. The overstrength factors were obtained using the nonlinear static analysis following the procedure proposed by ATC-19. According to the analysis results, the overstrength factors obtained from this study were generally larger than those proposed in 'AISC/SEAOC Recommended Provisions for BRBF'.

Seat is one of the most important part of an automobile for passenger's safety especially when an accident happens. A recliner is a part of the seat assembly, having the function of adjusting the back-plate angle of a seat. Recently, many kinds of vehicles have adopted the round recliner module rather than the conventional types of recliners because of its broad compatibility and structural simplicity. In this study a two-dimensional finite element strength analysis has been performed using a commercial code ABAQUS/Standard for the purpose of developing a new round recliner model. The loading condition for the analysis is the same as the FMVSS 301 regulation. The finite element result for the round recliner has been compared with that for the conventional type.

Due to the concept of "full-strength capacity connection," the pushover analysis method became an issue in designing steel connections. It is difficult to apply practically, however, because engineers are unfamiliar with such method. Moreover, there have been insufficient representative studies on them because most of the past pertinent studies were performed based on high-rise and/or virtual structures. As such, for this study, an actual(now in process) steel structure, a medium-low-rise industrial building, was selected. To perform pushover analysis, it was suggested that lateral load patterns be used in a simple and clear manner for three- and two-dimensional analysis models. A new hinge property was also suggested to prevent erroneous connection design results that can occur in the design process. The suggested load patterns showed almost the same results regardless of the model that was used, from which the obtained load patterns were different. This result implies the validity of the suggested load patterns. As for the suggested hinge property, the structural analysis yielded sound and reasonable results, which confirmed the validity of the proposed hinge property.

This paper presents are monotonic and cyclic behavior of steel plates. The effects of design parameters, initial deflection and aspect ratio, width-thickness ratio are studied by using FEM analysis. The results obtained from the monotonic loadings show that the aspect ratio(a/b) on the strength is to be neglected in the range of $(a/b){\leq}1.0$. The major cause of the reduction in strength sbbjected to cyclic loadings are width-thickness ratio and displacement amplitude. Based on the results, this paper presents some new strength curve with considering the cyclic deteriorations. The results are also discussed about the deformation capacity accordance with the width-thickness ratio and displacement amplitude.
