본 연구의 목적은 드는 작업에 있어서 한국 작업자의 적정하중을 구하여 중량물 안전기준을 정하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 주어진 작업조건하에서 피실험자가 들어올릴 수 있는 적정하중을 결정하기 위 한 기준으로서 피실험자 자신에 의해서 인지되는 스트레스 정도를 이용하는 심리육체적 방법(Psychophysical method), 주어진 작업조건하에서 요추에 가해지는 압력을 이용하는 생체역학적 방법(Biomechanical method), 주어진 작업조건하에서 피실험자의 에너지 소모량을 이용하는 생리학적 접근법등이 이용되었다. 피실험자는 학생(n=3) 두개의 군으로 나뉘어진다. 실험에 들어가기 전에 피실험자에 대한 인체측정과 근력측정을 수행 하였다. 실험은 수직면에서 드는 빈도(1,2, 와 4회/분)와 드는 높이(0-8cm 와 47-102cm)를 조합한 6가지의 작업을 무작위로 선택하여 심리육체적 방법으로 각 작업에 대한 적정하중을 구하였다. 연구결과로서 피실험 자의 신체자료와 근력의 비교로부터 신체조건은 학생이 우수하였으나, 근력은 작업자가 우수하였다. 본 연구 에서 채택된 들기의 빈도가 변함에 따라 최대허용 하중은 변하였다. 작업자군에 대하여는 빈도가 증가할수록 최대허용 하중은 감소하였으며, 학생군에 대하여는 분당 1회와 분당 4회간의 유의한 차이가 있었다. 들기의 시작-종점의 변화에따른 최대허용 하중은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 위의 두 결과는 들기의 빈도가 들기의 시작-종점보다 민감한 변수임을 가리키며 이는 미국 NIOSH의 결과와 일치한다. 심리육체적 방법을 사용하여 우리나라의 젊고 건강한 남성의 대부분(99%)을 고려하여 산출된 최대허용 하중은 미국 NIOSH 안전기준과 큰 차 이가 없음을 발견하였다. 또한 이 최대허용 하중은 인체역학적방법과 생리학적 방법을 사용하여 검토한 결과, 무리가 없는 수준임이 입증되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로우리나라 젊고 건강한 남성에게 적합한 무게상수는 작업자군에 대하여 25.05kg, 학생군에 대하여 20.24kg 으로 나타나 이는 미국 NIOSH 안전기준과 대체로 일치함을 발견하였다.

Follofwing the accelerating speed-up of trains and rising demand for large-volume transfer capacity, not only in Korea, but also around the world, track structures for trains have been improving consistently. Precast concrete slab track (PST), a concrete structure track, was developed as a system that can fulfil new safety and economic requirements for railroad traffic. The purpose of this study is to provide the information required for the development and design of the system in the future, by analyzing the behavior of each structural member of the PST system. The stress distribution result for different combinations of appropriate loads according to the KRL-2012 train load and KRC code was analyzed by conducting a three-dimensional finite element analysis, while the result for different thicknesses of the grouting layer is also presented. Among the structural members, the largest stress took place on the grouting layer. The stress changed sensitively following the thickness and the combination of loads. When compared with a case of applying only a vertical KRL-2012 load, the stress increased by 3.3 times and 14.1 times on a concrete panel and HSB, respectively, from the starting load and temperature load. When the thickness of the grouting layer increased from 20 mm to 80 mm, the stress generated on the concrete panel decreased by 4%, while the stress increased by 24% on the grouting layer. As for the cracking condition, tension cracking was caused locally on the grouting layer. Such a result indicates that more attention should be paid to the flexure and tension behavior from horizontal loads rather than from vertical loads when developing PST systems. In addition, the safety of each structural member must be ensured by maintaining the thickness of the grouting layer at 40 mm or more.

This paper presents design methodology to determine the design parameters that affect the manufacture of aluminum forging piston using the FE simulation and the Taguchi method. Maximum forging load is used as the objective function, and preform, material temperature and draft angle are selected as the design parameters. Their combinations are implemented by orthogonal array, and forging load is evaluated through the simulation. From the analytic results of design parameters to minimize the load using signal to noise ratio, their optimal combinations are proposed. The proposed design methodology will be able to help in selecting proper preform among preforms and to be used in determining the optimal combination of the parameters in metal forming process.

A study for the structural strength evaluation of doubler plates subjected to the in-plane combined load and lateral pressure load has been performed through a systematic evaluation process. In order to properly estimate the static strength of doubler plate, elasto-plastic large deflection analysis is introduced including the contact effect between main plate and doubler. The characteristics of stiffness and strength variation are discussed based on the analysis results. Also, in order to compare the doubler structure with the original strength of main plate without doubler, a simple formula for the evaluation of the equivalent flat plate thickness is derived based on the additional series analysis of fiat plate structure. Using this derived equation, the thickness change of a equivalent flat plate is analyzed according to the variation of various design parameters of doubler plate and some design guides are suggested In order to maintain the original strength of main plate without doubler reinforcement. Finally, correlation between derived equivalent plate thickness formula and the developed buckling strength formulas for intact plates by author et al. is discovered and these relations are formulated for the future development of simple strength evaluation formula of doubler plate structure.

A design system was developed for the doubler plate of a ship structure simultaneously subjected to in-plane loads and lateral pressure based on general dimensions and those of a representative ship structure. An equivalent design equation that considers various structural design parameters was derived by introducing the equivalent plate thickness theory, and the design of the doubler plate reinforcement of the ship structure was developed. A hybrid structural design system was established for a doubler plate simultaneously subjected to in-plane loads and lateral pressure consisting of two modules: an optimized design module and a double plate strength & design review module. The practical application of this design system was illustrated to show its usability. It was found that the design safety of the doubler plate was ensured, and this system could be used as an initial design guide to review the double plate reinforcement for a dent or corrosion of the ship plate members. Using the developed design system would make it possible to obtain a more reasonable doubler plate structure that considers the rational reinforcement of plate members of ship structures. In addition, a more reliable structural analysis using a strength evaluation process can be performed to verify the efficiency of the optimum structural design for the doubler plate structure.

An in-situ experiment was performed to evaluate the pullout resistance capacity of chains which is used as a reinforcement of reinforced earth wall. It was also considered that chain was combined with a bar or L-type steel angle by the transverse reinforcement member in the experiment. About 80 pullout tests were peformed with varying the lengths of chain(2.0m, 2.5m, and 3.0m), the combination of each transverse members(chain only, chain＋bar, or chain＋angle), and the vertical placement of reinforcements. In the case that uses a chain only and a chain combined with bar, the maximum displacement was about 150mm and load continuously increased to the ultimate tensile strength of chain, and then tension failure of chains occurred. But in the case of a chain combined with angle, the displacement decreased to about 100mm and so it was expected that this combination can constrain the displacement of chain. On the other hand, comparing the yielding pullout load measured in the field to that calculated by theoretical equation, it is shown that measured values are 1.2~3.0 times greater than those of calculated values according to the length of chain, normal vertical stress, and the combination of chain with transverse members. However, the difference in the increment of yielding pullout load between bar and angle is not clear but it appears almost the same increment. It is expected that chain can be safely used as reinforcements of reinforced earth wall, although a theoretical estimation of the pullout resistance capability of chain is too conservative.

The long-term behavior, such as in excavation problems of weak medium, can be dealt with by the elasto-viscoplasticity models. In this paper, a combined formulation of elasto-viscoplasticity using boundary elements and finite elements without using internal cells is presented. The domain integral introduced due to the viscoplastic stresses is transformed into a boundary integral applying direct integration in cylindrical coordinates. The results of the developed boundary element analysis are compared with those from the explicit solution and from the finite element analysis. It is observed that the boundary element analysis without internal cells results in some error because of its deficiency in handling the nonlinearity in local stress concentration. Therefore, a coupled analysis of boundary elements and finite elements, in which finite elements are used in the area of stress concentration, is developed. The coupled method is applied to a time dependent inelastic problem with semi-infinite boundaries. It results in reasonable solution compared with other methods where relatively higher degree of freedoms are employed. Thus, it is concluded that the combined analysis may be used for such problems in the effective manner.

Industrial and environmental facilities, which are national growth engine, must sustain their structural safety and maintain their process to continue production activities under various load conditions including natural hazards. In this study, by improving existing design codes which aim to secure the structural safety only, new structural and seismic design codes are proposed to secure both the structural safety and the operability of facilities. In the proposed structural design code, a variety of loads to reflect the characteristics of industrial and environmental facilities are considered and load combinations for the ultimate strength design and the allowable stress design of structures are suggested. Considering the importance of a unit industrial facility and that of a unit process, the seismic design class, design earthquake, and seismic performance level of a unit component are determined to achieve the dual seismic performance objectives for securing both the structural safety and the operability. Also, the proposed design code are applied to an example of an environmental facility in order to examine its applicability.

In this study, the stress analysis for the piping support design is performed as per the rules of the ASME Code, Section III, subsection NF-Component Support which provides a simplified method of design analysis for piping support. This method makes use of simple equations and conservative allowable stress limits for design and service loadings. For the base plate, code equation is satisfied within the allowable limits. Both anchor bolts and pipe strap are governed by the their interaction equations. The stresses resulting from various loadings and their combinations are within the allowable limits specified in the above mentioned ASME Code. Thus, it was proved that the structural integrity of the pump assembly was satisfactory.

In aerospace industry, the improvement of structural performance of fight structure without increasing weight has great advantage. In this study. an innovative design method to increase the buckling load and tension failure load at the same time without increasing the weight of composite plates was investigated. By using the curvilinear fiber format a method to increase the buckling load and tension failure load simultaneously was investigated for composite plates with central hole with finite element method. It was investigated how much gain can be obtained with curvilinear fiber format for the plates with different hole size and different stacking sequence. And, for the cases studied, the failure mechanism was also investigated. For the manufacturing of the curvilinear fiber format, smoothly and continuously changing fiber path is necessary. In this study, a simple method to find the smoothly changing fiber path by using the fiber angles obtained with finite element method was presented.
