Flat plate system has many advantages, story height reduction, a term of works shortening and changeableness of space, etc. However structures become a tendency of higher stories and when we use RC column, the size of column grow larger. For this reason the use of CFT column is increasing more and more. Accordingly, this study carried out the nonlinear finite element analysis. As a result of analysis moment strength of the connection increased but ductility decreased as the top reinforcement ratio in th effective width increased. And moment strength and ductility of the connection decreased as gravity load ratio decreased. In the case that shearhead length is not more than 0.27m, the effectiveness of shearhead length on the moment strength and ductility of the connection were small relatively to other variables. Initial stiffness and moment strength of connection increased as slab thickness increased

This research automatically designed psc-box girder bridges by using an optimum design program and applied the results to the various types of bridges to verify if common facts used in steel bridges or concrete bridges can be applied to PSC bridges. Namely, it investigated appropriate unequal span length division by comparing with bridge of unequal and equal span length division, and verified the influence of the load factors which are changed by time or specification applying the results to various types of bridge. and it applied reinforced concrete bridge and steel bridge's variable girder depth which is slender and effective to save material costs to PSC box girder bridges. Technical solution of optimum design program used SUMT procedure, and Kavlie's extended penalty function to allow infeasible design points in the process. Powell's direct method was used for searching design points and a gradient's approximate method was used to reduce the design time.

Tractrix dies, used in the deep drawing process, can be used to form CNG pressure vessels without a blank holder. Previous studies had only applied tractrix profiles to perform the first deep drawing process of DDI; but an optimal design of the tractrix die that focuses on improving die life and reducing production cost has not been performed yet. In this study, finite element analyses of deep drawing processes were conducted according to heights of the tractrix die by using translating asymptotes. In addition, researchers analyzed von-Mises stresses at the part of stress concentration of the die according to the forming punch loads in order to propose an optimal tractrix die design.

The RC flat plate system has benefits such as a short construction time, an improvement of workability and a floor height reduction. In the case of long span slab, cracking damages and large deflections tend to occur due to the low flexural stiffness of flat plates. Specially, over-loading by self-weight of slab during construction increases short and long-term deflections. These problems may be solved by the use of void slab that has benefits of the reduced self-weight. In this study, to analyze an effect of self-weight reduction of void slab on slab deflections, the parametric study is performed. Including variable conditions such as a concrete strength, a slab construction cycle, the number of shored floors, a compressive reinforcement ratio and a tensile reinforcement ratio, slab construction loads and deflections are calculated by considering the construction stages, concrete cracking, and long-term effects. The short-term deflections during construction and the long-term deflections after construction of both of normal and void slabs are compared and the effects of void slab on the reduction of slab deflections are analyzed.

A satellite is ultimately verified by performing a coupled load analysis with the launch vehicle. To increase the accuracy of the coupled load analysis results, it is important to have good accuracy of the finite element model. Therefore, finite element model correlation is essential. In general, model correlation is performed by changing the material properties and thickness one by one, but this process takes a lot of time and cost. The current paper proposes an efficient model correlation method using optimization. Significant variables were selected through analysis of variance, and the time and cost required for analysis and optimization were reduced by using the Kriging surrogate model. The method proposed in this paper can be applied only with the vibration test results, and it has a great advantage in terms of efficiency in that it can significantly reduce the numerical calculation cost and time required.

도심지간 대용량 전력수송을 담당하는 지중송전케이블의 설비 신뢰성 향상과 공사원가 절감을 위해 적정 포설길이의 결정과 접속함의 최적 배치가 중요하며, 이러한 시스템 설계에 있어서 허용 포설장력과 측압은 여러 중요 요소 중 하나가 된다. 특히, 허용측압 계산과정에서 적용중인 최대 측압값에 대한 실증적 검증과 건정성 확인시험을 통해 케이블 특성에 가장 적정한 값을 도출하고, 실 계통에 적용함으로서 최적 시스템 설계가 구현될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지중송전케이블을 관로에 포설시 곡률부에서 발생하는 측압을 여러 case별로 모의할 수 있도록 실증설비를 구축하였고, 실제 작용되는 측면하중을 로드셀을 이용하여 측정하였다. 본 연구결과로 안전율을 고려한 최적의 허용측압이 결정되었으며, 이러한 허용측압의 확대를 통해 장경간 케이블 포설의 이론 정립이 가능하게 되었다.

In an effort to construct a structure under the design principle of minimal use of materials for maximum performances, a discrete gradient structure has been introduced in laminate composite systems. Using a sequential linear programming method, the gradient structure of composites to maximize the buckling load was optimized in terms of fiber volume fraction and thickness of each layer. The buckling load showed maximum value with the outmost [$0^{\circ}$] layer concentrated by almost all the fibers when the ratio of length to width(aspect ratio) was less than 1.0. But when the aspect ratio was 2.0, the optimum was determined in a structure where the thickness and fiber volume fraction were well-balanced in each layer. From the optimization of gradient structure, the optimal fiber volume fraction and thickness of each layer were proposed. Gradient structures have also shown an advantage in the weight reduction of composites compared with the conventional homogeneous structures.

Most of the domestic railroad tracks are ballast track and repetitive maintenance is required in this track. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize maintenance process for maintenance cost reduction and more effective maintenance. For this, it is important to develop a reasonable settlement progressive model of ballast layer. However, the behavior of ballast is different to that of soils, since ballast is composed of large coarse gravel. Thus, in this study, we carried out numerical analysis by using the discrete element method (PFC 2D) for better understanding of ballast settlement and development of reasonable settlement progressive model. And, we evaluated the settlement of ballast according to particles shape, porosity and loading conditions.

Recently, development of a small aircraft has been carried out for the BASA(Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement) program in Korea. This aircraft adopted all composite structures for environmental friendly by low fuel consumption due to its lightness behavior. However the composite structure has disadvantage which is very weak against impact damages. Therefore, damage allowable design of aircraft structure must be performed considering compressive fracture strength. This point is very important for certification of composite structure aircraft. In this paper, it is performed the research on damage tolerance of thick laminate adopting aircraft structure. The damage tolerance of three different types of thick laminates such as no damage, open hole and impact damage is evaluated under compression loading.

연료전지 핵심 부품 가운데 하나인 분리판(Bipolar plate)는 막전극체(MEA), 기체확산층(GDL)과 함께 발생한 전류의 수집 및 전달, 반응 가스의 수송, 반응/생성물의 수송 및 제거, 반응열 제거 등을 위한 냉각수 전달 등의 다양한 역할을 담당한다. 이러한 역할을 위하여 분리판은 우수한 전기전도성, 열전도성, 화학적 안정성이 요구되어 진다. 기존의 연료전지용 분리판은 흑연계 소재 및 수지와 흑연을 혼합한 복합 흑연 재료를 통해 제조하여 요구 되어지는 물성을 만족시켜 왔으나 흑연계 분리판의 경우 강도 및 가스 밀폐성 측면에서 낮은 특성을 보이며 특히 고가의 제조 공정 비용과 낮은 양산성으로 인하여 자동차 연료전지 상용화에 수많은 해결 과제를 안고 있었다. 흑연계 분리판의 이러한 문제점을 대체하기 위한 연구로 최근 금속계 분리판의 적용 및 개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 금속계 분리판은 양산 제조 공정이 적용 가능하여 대량생산이 가능하며 자동차 연료전지 스택의 경량화 및 박판화가 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나, 박판의 스테인리스강을 소재로 적용한 금속분리판의 양산을 위하여 반드시 선행되어야 할 연구가 바로 금형 코팅 연구이다. 일반 자동차 생산 금형을 평균 약 50만타로 예측한다면 연료전지 금속계 분리판 성형 금형의 현재 수명은 약 10만타로 추정 가능하다. 이러한 원인은 고하중의 프레스 사용과 정밀 금형으로 인한 극한 공정 조건으로 야기된 결과이며 문제 해결을 위하여 성형 금형에 PVD 코팅 적용 연구를 진행하였다. 성형 금형의 PVD 코팅 적용을 통하여 금형 교체 주기 감소를 통한 생산 원가 절감 및 이형성 개선을 통한 성형성 확보를 목표로 본 연구를 진행하였다.
