The mechanical characteristics of materials are very essential in structural analysis for the accuracy of structural calculations. The estimation modulus of elasticity of concrete ($E_c$), one of the most important mechanical characteristics, is a very complex area in terms of analytical models. Many attempts have been made to model the modulus of elasticity through the use of experimental data. In this study, the neuro-fuzzy (NF) technique was investigated in estimating modulus of elasticity of concrete and a new simple NF model by implementing a different NF system approach was proposed. A large experimental database was used during the development stage. Then, NF model results were compared with various experimental data and results from several models available in related research literature. Several statistic measuring parameters were used to evaluate the performance of the NF model comparing to other models. Consequently, it has been observed that NF technique can be successfully used in estimating modulus of elasticity of concrete. It was also discovered that NF model results correlated strongly with experimental data and indicated more reliable outcomes in comparison to the other models.

음향 재질의 복소수 모듈러스(Complex Young's modulus)는 정적하중하에서 주파수에 따라 변하므로 재질의 동특성 규명을 위해 손실을 가지는 rod로 모델링 된 원통형 시편을 사용, 한쪽 끝은 가진기로 축방향 조화가진을 하고, 타단에서는 부가 질량체를 부착시켜 이의 전달 함수를 구한다. 전달 함수 방법은 축방향으로 가진된 rod로 모델링하여 가진기의 주파수 범위인 50~20000Hz에서 이론 및 실험적으로 해석된다. 또한 발생가능한 오차의 원인을 규명하고자 시편이가지는 포아송비(Poisson's ratio)에 기인한 측면운동, 끝단효과(End Effect), 손실계수가 작은 경우의 측정오차 및 시편 끝단의 접착제 효과를 분석하였으며 형상계수의 도입에 의해 측면운동에 의한 오차를 보상하였다.

The behavior of the soil subgrade is complex and irregular against loads. When modeling, the soil is often replaced by a more straightforward system called a subgrade model. The Winkler method of linear elastic springs is a popular method of soil modeling in which the spring constant shows the modulus of subgrade reaction. In this research, the factors affecting the distribution of the modulus of subgrade reaction of elastoplastic subgrades are examined. For this purpose, critical theories about the modulus of subgrade reaction were examined. A square raft foundation on a sandy soil subgrade with was analyzed at different internal friction angles and Young's modulus values using ABAQUS software. To accurately model the actual soil behavior, the elastic, perfectly plastic constitutive model was applied to investigate a foundation on discrete springs. In order to increase the accuracy of soil modeling, equations have been proposed for the distribution of the subgrade reaction modulus. The constitutive model of the springs is elastic, perfectly plastic. It was observed that the modulus of subgrade reaction under an elastic load decreased when moving from the corner to the center of the foundation. For the ultimate load, the modulus of subgrade reaction increased as it moved from the corner to the center of the foundation.

A novel technique to measuret of viscoelastic properties of polymers is proposed to investigate complex Poisson's ratio as a function of frequency. The forced vibration responses for the samples under the normal and the shear deformation are to be measured with varying load masses. The measured data were used to obtain the viscoelastic properties of the material based on an accurate 2D numerical deformation model of the sample. The 2D model enabled us to exclude data correction by the empirical form factor used in 1D model. Comprehensive measurements of viscoelastic properties of two slightly varied silicone RTV rubber ($Silastic^{(R)}$ S2) compositions were performed. Standard composition (90% PDMS polymer + 10% catalyst) and modified composition (92.5% polymer + 7.5% catalyst) were tested in temperature range from $30^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$. Shear modulus, modulus of elasticity, loss factor, and both the real and the imaginary parts of the Poisson's ratio were determined for frequencies from 50 to 400Hz in the linear deformation regime (at relative deformations $10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-3}$).

In this paper, the forced vibration of damped composite beam with I-type section was analyzed. The damping material was assumed to have complex Young's modulus. Damped composite beam structure could be modeled using equivalent beam elements with less D.O.F. rather than solid elements. Finite element method for 6 D.O.F. equivalent beam element was formulated and programmed using complex values. The results of frequency responses revealed good agreement with those of NASTRAN in both Euler beam model and Timoshenko beam model.

A damped Timoshenko beam element is introduced for the DOF-efficient forced vibration analysis of beam-like structures coated with viscoelastic damping layers. The rotary inertia as well as the shear deformation is considered, and the damping effect of viscoelastic layers is modeled as an imaginary loss factor in the complex shear modulus. A complex composite cross-section of structures is replaced with a homogeneous one by means of the transformed section approach in order to construct an equivalent single-layer finite element model capable of employing the standard $C^{0}$-continuity basis functions. The numerical reliability and the DOF-efficiency are explored through the comparative numerical experiments.

This article explains how solitons propagate when there is a detuning factor involved. The explanation is based on the nonlinear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, and we first consider this equation before systematically deriving its solutions using Jacobian elliptic functions. We illustrate that one specific ellipticity modulus is on the verge of occurring. The findings from this study can contribute to the understanding of previous research on the Ginzburg-Landau equation. Additionally, we utilize Jacobi's elliptic functions to define specific solutions, especially when the ellipticity modulus approaches either unity or zero. These solutions correspond to particular periodic wave solitons, which have been previously discussed in the literature.

Viscoelastic components for vibration isolation or shock absorption in automobiles, machines and buildings are often subject to a high level of static deformation. From the dynamic design point of view, it is requisite to predict dynamic complex stiffness of viscoelastic components accurately and efficiently. To this end, a systematic procedure for complex modulus measurement of the viscoelastic material under large static deformation is often required in the industrial fields. In this paper, dynamic test conditions and procedures for the viscoelastic material under small oscillatory load superimposed on large static deformation are discussed. Various standard test methods are investigated in order to select an adequate test methodology. The influence of fixed boundary condition in the compression tests upon complex stiffness are investigated and an effective correction technique is proposed. Then the uniaxial tension and compression tests are performed and its results are compared with analysis results from conventional constitutive models.

In the previous paper (Hyun et al.,2002), we have investigated the shape of storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G") of complex fluids under large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) flow. As the strain amplitude increases, owever, the stress curve becomes distorted and some important information may be smothered during data processing. Thus we need to investigate the stress data more precisely and systematically. In this work, we have obtained the stress data using high performance ADC (analog digital converting) card, and investigated the nonlinear response of complex fluids, 4wt% xanthan gum (XG), 2 wt% PVA/ 1 wt% Borax, and 1 wt% hyaluronic acid (HA) solutions, using Fourier transformation (FT) rheology. Comparing the strain signals in time domain with FT parameters in frequency domain, we could illustrate the sensitivity and importance of FT rheology. Diverse and unique stress patterns were observed depending on the material system as well as flow environment. It was found that they are not the outcome of experimental deficiency like wall slip but characteristics of the material system. When nonlinear response of complex fluids is analyzed, the intensity and phase angle of higher harmonic contributions should be considered together, and the shape of the stress signal was found to be strongly dependent upon phase angle.ngle.

본 연구에서는 페놀 수지/탄소섬유 복합재료가 상온에서부터 $400^{\circ}C$까지의 온도범위에서 유리 전이와 분해반응을 경험하면서 나타내는 점탄성 특징을 연구하였다. 가교 결합된 페놀메트릭스의 전형적인 유리전이에 따라 저장 탄성율(storage modulus)은 유리전이에 의하여 감소하였고 고무상태(rubbery state)에 도달함과 동시에 후경화 반응과 분해 반응 등을 포함하는 복합적인 고온반응에 의하여 증가하다가, 최대점을 보인 후 다시 감소하는 모습을 보였다. 유리전이 과정은 시간-온도 중첩원리에 따라 해석하였으나, 분해반응이 수반된 고온에서의 점탄성 특징은 저장 탄성율을 수직 및 수평 방향으로 이동시키어 마스터 커브를 완성 할 수 있었다. 이러한 실험적 결과를 토대로 아레니우스식과 Havriliak-Negami식에서 유추된 점탄성 모델을 이용하여 유리전이와 분해반응이 연속적으로 진행되는 과정을 정량적을 해석할 수 있었다. 이때의 완화시간은 유전이 과정을 통하여 감소하다가 고무상태에 이르러 최소값을 보여주고 이후로는 고온반응에 의하여 증가하는 모습을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 점탄성 해석 방법은 반응이 수반된 열경화성 복합재료가 보여주는 점탄성 계수의 복잡한 거동을 온도와 주파수(frequency)에 따라 정확하게 묘사함으로서 이 모델링의 유용성을 증명 할 수 있었다.
