In this study, we suggest a stochastic finite element scheme for the probabilistic analysis of the composite laminated plates, which have been applied to variety of mechanical structures due to their high strength to weight ratios. The applied concept in the formulation is the weighted integral method, which has been shown to give the most accurate results among others. We take into account the elastic modulus and in-plane shear modulus as random. For individual random parameters, independent stochastic field functions are assumed, and the effect of these random parameters on the response are estimated based on the exponentially varying auto- and cross-correlation functions. Based on example analyses, we suggest that composite plates show a less coefficient of variation than plates of isotropic and orthotropic materials. For the validation of the proposed scheme, Monte Carlo analysis is also performed, and the results are compared with each other.

The purpose of this study was to identify middle school students' mental models on plate tectonics and to compare the mental models of verbal-learning-style students with those of visual-learning-style students. 94 student participants in 9th grade were requested to draw and explain three topics; generation of magma, the formation of the mountain range and the interior of the Earth. The criterions for analyzing the mental models are derived from the data of the drawing task. The research results were as follows: The mental models on the generation of magma were classified as 'unstable model,' 'partial casual model,' 'causal model,' and 'conceptual model.' On the other hand, the mental models on the interior of the Earth were classified as 'static unstable model,' 'dynamic unstable model,' and 'conceptual model.' Students holding 'unstable model' were unable to relate the plate collision and the magma generation. They showed a variety of alternative conceptions of study areas, such as 'magma is generated from the core' and 'the mountain is formed by rising of the plates themselves.' Also, visual-learning-style students showed higher proportion of conceptual models and lower proportion of unstable mental models than verbal-learning-style students on three topics. The findings revealed that the students tend to have different concepts on the plate tectonics depending on their learning style.

Both An, Joonggeun and Park, Youngcheol lived in similar innovative time period from the enlightenment times through the Japanese colonial era. Even though they had the same resolution to pour their energy on national sovereignty and oriental peace, their opinions and activities were contrary. While An aimed the gun at the heart of Japanese imperialism with the belief that Japanses empire hindered Korea's independence and the Oriental Peace, Park willingly joined the heart of the imperialism with the belief that Japan could enhance Korean civilization and the Oriental peace. They had commonly developed their visions about oriental peace on the basis of the theory of social evolution focusing on the survival of the fittest and the weak-to-the-wall kind of society that had been prevalent since 19th century. Furthermore, their logics were based on racism combined with the social evolution theory. Although the two men lived in the same era, their spirit of the times were quite different. An considered that the Japanese extortion of Korean sovereignty caused the corruption of peace of the East. On the other hand, Park believed that peaceful age came by way of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity constructed by the union of Korea and Japan. Especially Park put higher value on Japanese modern civilization than Korean sovereignty and also insisted Korea should take Japanese case as its model.

인공위성의 Radar Altimeter 자료를 통해 국지적인 중력이상을 조사하기 위하여 ERS-1 Altimeter를 이용하였다. ERS-1 Radar Altimeter는 조밀하게 인접한 데이터 간격(~8km)을 갖고 있어서 전지구적 규모뿐만 아니라 국지적인 연구에도 적합하다. 연구대상지역은 세 개의 판이 만나서 지진과 화산활동이 활발하게 진행되는 필리핀판 지역(동경1$10^{\circ}$~150$^{\circ}$, 북위 0$^{\circ}$~30$^{\circ}$)을 선정하였다. 이 지역에 대한 해저의 지형과 중력 이상 분석을 통해 판구조 운동의 여러 증거를 파악할 수 있다. ERS-1 Radar Altimeter를 통해 얻어진 지오이드 높이(Geoid geight)는 후리-에어 중력이상(Free-air gravity anomaly)으로 쉽게 전환시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)을 이용하여 지오이드기복을 직접 후리-에어 중력이상으로 전환시키는 Direct conversion method를 사용하였다. 후리-에어 중력이상은 지각평형과 직접적으로 연관되어 지각보상의 정도를 파악할 수 있게 하며 일반적으로 해양의 분지는 지각평형상태로 있어서 평균적인 중력이상은 0mgal 근처로 나타난다. 그러나 본 연구에서 살펴본 국지적인 후리-에어 중력이상은 판구조론과 관련한 해구난 호상열도에서는 해양분지에서의 평균적인 값과 다른 중력이상의 양상을 나타내었다.

The methods of design of mat foundation may be classified as the rigid method and the flexible method according to the assumptions used. In the rigid method, the mat is assumed to be infinitely rigid and the contact pressure is assumed planar distribution. However, the contact pressure is not planar but curved surface because the real mat is not rigid. Therefore, it is not precise to analyze the mat foundation using the rigid method, and so there is no choice but to accept an error. On the other hand, in the flexible method, the mat is considered as the plate on the elastic foundation. This elastic plate theory is for the infinite plate acting a concentrated load on the elastic foundation. However, the functions for the moment, shear, and the deflection by the flexible method are very complex, there are many difficulties for the designer to use them. Also, it is impossible to use the design aid figures as a substitute of the complex functions, because they do not cover the values at the critical sections for the moment and shear. Therefore, in this research, the simplified functions for the moment, shear, and the deflection are proposed by regression analysis for an designer to use easily the flexible method. The simplified functions are very accurate and very ease to use.

In case of estimation of settlement for the piled-raft foundation, it is necessary to consider interaction among raft, piles and soil. But, simple analytic methods usually are not applicable to considering this complicated interaction. In this study, a computer-based approximate analytic method, HDPR, was developed in consideration of above mentioned interaction in order to analysis of settlement for the piled-raft foundation. The finite element method was applied to raft analysis by means of the Mindlin plate theory, and soil and piles were modeled as springs which were connected with their raft. The linear spring which can consider multi layered soil and the non-linear spring were applied to soil springs and pile springs, respectively. The raft-piles-soil interaction was reflected to each spring. In order to verify the developed analytic method, it was compared and analyzed with 3D FEM analysis, existing approximate analytic method and site monitoring data. As a result, the developed analytic method showed reasonable results of settlement estimations of raft and piles for each case. From a practical point of view, it is confirmed that this analytic method is able to apply for analysis and design of the piled-raft foundation.

In this paper we perform a linearized buckling analysis using the Kirchhoff plate theory and the von Karman nonlinear strain-displacement relation. Design sensitivity analysis(DSA) expressions for plane elasticity and buckling problems are derived with respect to Young's modulus and thickness. Using the design sensitivity, we can formulate the topology optimization method for minimizing the compliance and maximizing eigenvalues. We develop a topology optimization method applicable to plate buckling problems using the prestress for buckling analysis. Since the prestress is needed to assemble the stress matrix for buckling problem using the von Karman nonlinear strain, we introduced out-of-plane motion. The design variables are parameterized into normalized bulk material densities. The objective functions are the minimum compliance and the maximum eigenvalues and the constraint is the allowable volume. Through several numerical examples, the developed DSA method is verified to yield very accurate sensitivity results compared with the finite difference ones and the topology optimization yields physically meaningful results.

재료의 피로문제에 대해서는 꽤 오래 전부터 많은 연구가 이루어져왔고, 피로의 현상파악에서부 터 피로이론의 구명, 나아가서는 실제문제로서의 피로설계, 피로수명예측 등에 기여한 업적은 아 주 크다 하겠다. 그러나 종래의 피로문제연구의 방향이, S-N 곡선에서 얻어지는 피로한계강도 (더 정확한 표현으론 피로파괴한계강동)에 바탕을 두고, 정력확적인 설계관례인 안전계수의 도입 을 빌려, 피로강도를 실용화할려는 선에서 이루어져 왔다고 보겠다. 재료의 피로한계강도란, 그 정의로 미루어, 다분히 정적으로는 극한강도 또는 피로강도의 개념에 견주어 질 수 있는 공칭응 력으로써 탄성학적으로 해석될 수도 없고, 다만 탄역성이론의 개념을 바탕으로 근사해석례만이 허용되고 있을 뿐이다. 재료에는 소위 평활재이건 절결재이건 간에 또 검출여부에 관계없이, 내외 부에 대소각종의 결함이나 역학적 불연속부가 잠재해있음은 이미 공지의 사실이며, 이들 결합, 불 연속부등이 외하중하에서 응분의 응력집중원이 되어 재료를 전반적인 파괴로 몰고 갈 수 있다 함 도, 또한 이러한 역학적거동이 피로파괴에 까지 확장해석될 수 있을 것이란 것도 이미 잘 알려져 있는 터이라 하겠다. 재료내외부의 제결합을 응력집중이 극대인 crack로 대체해서 외하중하에서 의 응력장거동을 해석한 선형탄성파괴역학(LEFM)은, 바로 이러한 실제재료의 강도설계에 보다 큰 정확성을 부여한 방법론적 학문이라 하겠고, 나아가서는 재료의 파괴기구를 파헤치는데 진일 보적인 역학적인 수법이라 하겠다. 취성파괴, 연성파괴에 바탕을 둔 파괴역학(LEFM)을 피로파괴 에 적용시키는 데는 상당한 문제점들을 수반할 것임은 충분히 인지되나, 제한된 경계조건하에서 의 적용 예는 종래의 어떤 방법에 의한 것 보다도 피로강도설계, 안전사용 피로수명예측 등에 획기적인 진전을 보여주고 있다. 파괴역학은 crack 재의 강도학이고, 더 구체적으로 음력학대계수 (stress intensity factor) K 또는 이와 연연되는 parameter 인 strain energy release rate(G), crack-tip plactic zone size r$_{p}$,.rho., crack-tip opening displacement .phi., strain intensity 등을 쓰는 재료강도학이기 때문에, 이 수법을 피로파괴에 적용시킴은, 종래의 공칭응력으로 피로 문제를 다루던 방법과는 판이하다 하겠다. 본고에선 파괴역학의 관점에서 피로구열의 안정성장을 논하고, 과거 10여년간의 피로 crack문제에 대한 연구방법, 실험방법 등을 소개하는 방향으로 고 를 진행시켜 나가겠다.
