The main objective of this research is to develop a mechanistic performance predictive model for fatigue cracking of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Controlled-stress diametral fatigue tests were performed to characterize fatigue cracking of asphalt-aggregate mixtures. Performance prediction model for fatigue cracking was developed using the internal damage ratio (IDR) growth method. In the IDR growth method, the general concepts of the dissipated energy, the reference tensile strain, the threshold tensile strain, and the strain shift factor were introduced. The source of the dissipated energy in the fatigue test is from the intrinsic viscoelastic material property of an asphalt concrete mixture and the damage growth within the asphalt concrete specimen. In controlled-stress mode test, the dissipated energy is gradually increased with an increasing number of load applications.

PBL is expected to be very useful in the engineering project course that leads students to active learning in problem solving process. But it is not actively utilized because of various problems. In this study, modified PBL lectures were laid out for a course that practice UX design process. Modified PBL lectures provide theoretical class and two PBL practices. The variant is that the problem design is made by the students themselves on a weekly basis, rather than by the instructor, and that the two PBL processes consist of one project. The results of this study are meaningful as a basic data in PBL-based engineering college project class. Additional discussion of how to evaluate grades needs to be specified.

In this study finite element analysis using hyperbolic model was performed to predict the characteristics of stress-strain behaviour on concrete face earth dam (CFED : a tentative name) raised with coarse-grained materials corresponding to the face slab bedding zone of concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD). The results of finite element analysis were compared with field monitoring data, and the comparison showed a good agreement. And, the analysis results including locus of maximum displacement, maximum stress, stress concentration, and irregular load transfer would be used to devise rational field monitoring schemes for construction management and quality control during construction of CFED.

In this paper, an algorithm to locate and size damage in a complex truss structure using the time domain response is presented. Sampled response data for specific time interval is spatially expanded over the structure to obtain the mean train energy for each element of the structure. The mean strain energy for each element is, in turn, used to build a damage index that represents the ratio of the stiffness parameter of the pre-damaged to the post-damaged structure. The validity of the methodology is demonstrated using data from a numerical example of a space truss structure with simulated damage. Also in the example, the effects of noisy data on the proposed algorithm are examined by adding random noised to the response data.

The structure of the turnout track is very complex, so it is a facility that is more difficult to maintain and requires detailed management than a general track type. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect on the deformation of the turnout system of the ground section due to the excavation work adjacent to the serviced urban railways. In this study, based on finite element analysis for each stage of adjacent excavation, the track deformation for each major location of turnout system was analyzed in consideration of the layout of the turnout system installed on the ground section, and the safety and stability was confirmed by comparing it with the track irregularity regulation. As a result of the study, it was found that the major construction stage affecting the track deformation of the turnout system on the ground section was the final stage of excavation. In addition, although the vertical displacement which is a vertical irregularity occurred relatively large, it was analyzed that the horizontal deformation was dominant overall, because of the excavation site is located on the side of the turnout system. In addition, it was analyzed that the amount of displacement at each major location of the turnout system is different, and there is a possibility that there may be a twist irregularity due to the deviation of the track deformation for each location according to the distance from the excavation site. Therefore, it was analyzed that it is necessary to classify and manage the importance of the track deformation of the turnout system of actual operating line, including additional displacement due to adjacent excavation, based on the track irregularity that has occurred at each location where the major deformation characteristics occur.

This study is aiming at investigating the ultimate behaviors and curling influence on the ultimate strength in high strength aluminum alloys (7075-T6) single shear two-bolted connections using finite element analysis. The validation of finite element analysis for predicting the ultimate behaviors was verified through the comparison between previous test results and analysis predictions. Strength reduction due to curling occurrence was estimated quantitatively. Parametric analyses with extended variables were conducted and the conditions of curling occurrence according to end distance and edge distance were suggested. Finally, modified equation was suggested considering curling influence on the ultimate strength of aluminum alloys 7075-T6 bolted connections.

The analysis of linear static and free vibration problems of isotropic and laminated composite plates and shells is performed by the improved 9-node shell element with the new strain displacement relationship. In that relationship, the effect of new additional terms between the bending strain and displacement has been investigated in the warping problem. Natural co ordinate based strains, stresses and constitutive equations are used. The assumed natural strain method is used to alleviate both membrane and shear locking behavior from the element. The Lanczos method is employed in the calculation of the eigenvalues of laminated composite structures and the Gauss integration rule is adopted to evaluate the mass matrix. The numerical examples are compared with the analytical solutions to validate the current formulation and the results presented could be useful for the understanding of the behaviour of laminates under free vibration conditions.

Plastic gradient from geometrically necessary dislocation(GND) can affect material behavior significantly. In this research, mechanical behavior of polycrystalline solid is investigated using the finite element method incorporating plastic gradient from long range dislocation or GND effect. Plastic gradient effect is implemented in the analysis model by considering a long range strain term as well as elastic and plastic terms in the multiplicative decomposition. In the model, gradient hardness coefficient and length parameter are used to evaluate the effect of the long range strains and sensitive study is conducted for the parameters. It is confirmed that the GND amplifies hardening response of polycrystals compared with the single crystal.

Mutation analysis (or software mutation analysis) generates variants of a target program by injecting systematic code changes to the target program, and utilizes the variants to analyze the target program behaviors. Effective mutation analyses require adequate mutation operators that generate diverse variants for use in the analysis. However, the current mutation analysis tools for Java programs have limitations, since they support only limited types of mutation operators and do not support recent language features such as Java8. In this study, we present Mutagen4J, a new mutant generation tool for Java programs. Mutagen4J additionally supports mutation operators recently shown to generate various mutants and fully supports recent Java language features. The experimental results show that Mutagen4J generates useful mutants for analyses 2.3 times more than the existing Java mutation tools used for the study.

In the buildings, the systems of structures are influenced by the gravity load changes due to room alteration or construction stage. This paper proposes a system identification method establishing mass as well as stiffness to parameters in model updating process considering mass change in the buildings. In this proposed method, modified genetic algorithm, which is optimization technique, is applied to search those parameters while minimizing the difference of dynamic characteristics between measurement and FE model. To search more global solution, the proposed modified genetic algorithm searches in the wider search space. It is verified that the proposed method identifies the system of structure appropriately through the analytical study on a steel beam structure in the building. The comparison for performance of modified genetic algorithm and existing simple genetic algorithm is carried out. Furthermore, the existing model updating method neglecting mass change is performed to compare with the proposed method.
