The effective flange width was usually introduced into elementary beam theory to consider the shear lag effect in steel-concrete composite beams. Previous studies have primarily focused on the effective width under positive moments and elastic loading, whereas it is still not clear for negative moment cases in the normal service stages. To account for this problem, this paper proposed simplified formulas for the effective flange width and reinforcement stress of composite beams under negative moments in service stages. First, a 10-degree-of-freedom (DOF) fiber beam element considering the shear lag effect and interfacial slip effect was proposed, and a computational procedure was developed in the OpenSees software. The accuracy and applicability of the proposed model were verified through comparisons with experimental results. Second, a method was proposed for determining the effective width of composite beams under negative moments based on reinforcement stress. Employing the proposed model, the simplified formulas were proposed via numerical fitting for cases under uniform loading and centralized loading at the mid-span. Finally, based on the proposed formulas, a simplified calculation method for the reinforcement stress in service stages was established. Comparisons were made between the proposed formulas and design code. The results showed that the design code method greatly underestimated the contribution of concrete under negative moments, leading to notable overestimations in the reinforcement stress and crack width.

An optical fiber-based beam width measurement technique is presented. The proposed system can be applied to the optical fiber industry in applications such as lensed fiber, optical fiber based laser beam source, and fiber optic sensor. The measurement system is composed of optical fiber, which is used as a transceiver, and a single grating panel which consists of a multi-reflection area with an even non-reflection area. The grating panel is used to vary the reflected light. When the widths of the reflection area and non-reflection area are larger than the optical beam width, the reflected light is varied at the interface between the reflection area and the non-reflection area by the movement of the grating panel. Experiments were conducted in order to verify the feasibility of the proposed technique. Multi-mode fiber combined with a collimator was selected as an emitter and a receiver, and the beam width measurement system was contrived. Subsequently, the proposed method and the system were verified by comparing the experimental results with the results of the conventional charge-coupled device technique.

Commonly in steel frames, steel beam and concrete slab are connected together by shear keys to work as a unit member which is called composite beam. When a composite beam is subjected to positive bending, flexural strength and stiffness of the beam can be increased due to "composite action". At the same time despite these advantages, composite action increases the strain at the beam bottom flange and it might affect beam plastic rotation capacity. This paper presents results of study on the rotation capacity of composite beam connected to Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) column in the steel moment resisting frame buildings. Due to out-of-plane deformation of column flange, moment transfer efficiency of web connection is reduced and this results in reduction of beam plastic rotation capacity. In order to investigate the effects of width-to-thickness ratio (B/t) of RHS column on the rotation capacity of composite beam, cyclic loading tests were conducted on three full scale beam-to-column subassemblies. Detailed study on the different steel beam damages and concrete slab damages are presented. Experimental data showed the importance of this parameter of RHS column on the seismic behavior of composite beams. It is found that occurrence of severe concrete bearing crush at the face of RHS column of specimen with smaller width-to-thickness ratio resulted in considerable reduction on the rate of strain increase in the bottom flange. This behavior resulted in considerable improvement of rotation capacity of this specimen compared with composite and even bare steel beam connected to the RHS column with larger width-to-thickness ratio.

Flat-plate buildings are commonly modeled as two-dimensional frames to calculate lateral drift, unbalanced moments, and shear at slab-column connections. For gravity loads. the slab-column frames are analyzed using equivalent column approach, while equivalent beam approach is typical for lateral loads. The equivalent beam approach is convenient for computer analysis, but no rational procedure exists for determining the effective width of foor slabs. At present, the determination of the equivalent slab width and its stiffness is a matter of engineering judgement. To account for cracking, overly conservative assumptions are made regarding the stiffness of the slab. A rational approach is therefore needed to realistically estimate the equivalent slab width and its stiffness for unbalanced moment and lateral drift calculations. Based on the test results of 8 interior slab-column connections, an equivalent beam model is proposed in which columns are modeled conventionally as a function of column and slab aspect ratios and the magnitude of the gravity load. the proposed approach is verified with selected experimental results and is founded to be practical and convenient for analyzing flat-plate buildings subjected to gravity and lateral loading.

In this paper a transfer matrix method is developed to solve for bending vibration of beam with linearly reduced width, and subsequently used to determine the exact natural frequencies for such problems. The differential equation, shear force, and bending moment are derived from Hamilton's principle, and the roots of the differential equation are computed using the power series solution of the Frobenius method. The effect of various taper ratio for bending vibration of beam with linearly reduced width is investigated in detail, and to validate the accuracy of the proposed method the results computed are compared with those given from commercial software(ANSYS).

다중채널 탄성파 음원배열에서 불발 음원에 따라 탐사 성능에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 음원배열의 빔 패턴과 원거리장 파형 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 원거리장 파형의 주신호 진폭은 전체 건 부피의 약 40%에 해당하는 음원들이 불발을 일으킬 경우, 탐사성능이 66% 정도 유지되는 것으로 확인되었다. 154㎐에서 같은 간격의 음원들이 불발 시에는 배열 형태와 관계없이 길이 및 폭 배열의 빔 폭이 동일하게 나타난다. 길이 배열의 빔 패턴에서는 불발된 음원의 부피가 증가됨에 따라 빔 폭이 41°에서 34°로 좁아지는 경향을 나타낸다. 따라서 부피가 작은 음원 배열일수록 빔폭이 좁고 양호한 파형이 생성되므로 작은 에너지가 요구되는 천부 지층탐사에 적합한 것으로 확인되었다.

A vibration analysis for a rotating cantilever beam with the tapered cross section is presented in this study. The stiffness changes due to the stretching caused by centrifugal inertia forces when a tapered cantilever beam rotates about the axis perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. When the cross section of cantilever beam are assumed to decrease constantly, the mass and stiffness also change according to the variation of the thickness and width ratio of a tapered cantilever beam. Such phenomena result in variations of natural frequencies and mode shapes. Therefore it is important to the equations of motion in order to be obtained accurate predictions of these variations. The equations of motion of a rotating tapered cantilever beam are derived by using hybrid deformation variable modeling method and numerical results are obtained along with the angular velocity and the thickness and width ratio.

Laser beam welding parameters have experimentally investigated, using a continuous wave 3kW $CO_2$ laser with the various travel speeds, beam mode and laser beam power in low carbon steels. An optimum position of focus and the effect of shielding gas on penetration depth with varying the flow range of 0.5 to 5.1m/min have been combined to investigate the effect of laser power and travel speed on penetration depth and bead width. It is found that the optimum position of focus in 3kW class laser is 0.5 to 1.5mm below the surface of the material. The flow rate of shielding gas affects the penetration depth and He is more effective than Ar. The penetration depth in laser welds of low carbon steels is between two and four times of the bead width. Laser beam welding of butt joints in 2mm thick carbon steel has been carried out to establish a weldability lobe. The lobe indicating acceptable welding conditions is introduced.

곡면 배열 센서는 빔의 지향 방위에 따라 부 배열이 구성된다. 여기서 부 배열의 센서 선택 방법에 따라 곡면 배열 센서의 성능이 달라질 수 있다. 또한, 곡면 배열 센 서는 형상의 특성으로 인해 빔 지향 방위에 따라 부 배열의 형상이 달라진다. 따라서 빔 지향 방위에 따라 지향지수, 빔 폭 등의 성능이 달라진다. 그러므로 센서 선택 방법을 선택할 때, 빔 지향 방위에 따라 달라지는 지향지수, 빔폭 등의 성능을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 각 단일 센서의 위치 벡터가 기준인 부 배열을 선택하는 방법과 센서 빔의 지향 벡터가 기준인 부 배열을 선택하는 방법을 사용하였다. 두 가지 방법에 대해 빔 지향 방위별 지향지수와 수평 및 수직 빔 폭의 평균과 분산을 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 두 방법에서 사용되는 센서 수를 고정 하여 비교 분석하였다. 센서 수를 고정하지 않았을 때는 센서 빔의 지향 벡터 기준 방법의 성능이 대부분 높았으나 수직 빔 폭의 성능은 낮거나 비슷하였다. 하지만 센서 수를 고정하였을 경우, 두 방법 모두 성능은 비슷하나 지향 방위별 성능 분산은 줄어들었다.
