When strain sensing cables are under long-term stress and cyclic loading, creep may occur in the jacket material and each layer of the cable structure may slide relative to other layers, causing fatigue in the cables. This study proposes a device for testing the fatigue characteristics of three types of cables operating under different conditions to establish a decay model for observing the patterns of strain decay. The fatigue characteristics of cables encased in polyurethane (PU), GFRP-reinforced, and wire rope-reinforced jackets were compared. The findings are outlined as follows. The cable strain decayed exponentially, and the decay process involved quick decay, slow decay, and stabilization stages. Moreover, the strain decay increased with the initial strain and tensile frequency. The shorter the unstrained period was, the more similar the initial strain levels of the strain decay curves were to the stabilized strain levels of the first cyclic elongation. As the unstrained period increased, the initial strain levels of the strain decay curves approached those of the first cyclic elongation. The tested sensing cables differed in the amount and rate of strain decay. The wire rope-reinforced cable exhibited the smallest amount and rate of decay, whereas the GFRP-reinforced cable demonstrated the largest.

폴리머침투콘크리트는 무기계 시멘트와 유기계 폴리머를 결합시킨 신소재 콘크리트이다. 폴리머 침투콘크리트는 기존 시멘트콘크리트에 비하여 각종 역학적 특성과 내구성이 크게 개선되는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 지금까지는 국부적 강도증진과 보수재의 차원에 머무르고 있는 실정이다. 향후, 각종 고성능 프리캐스트부재의 제조에 폴리머 침투콘크리트를 보다 적극적으로 적용하기 위해서는 고분자모노머의 개발과 폴리머침투콘크리트의 재료특성에 대한 체계적인 정립이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 이를 위하여 실험결과를 토대로 MMA계의 침투제를 개발하고 폴리머 침투콘크리트의 재료특성을 구명한다.

The thermo-mechanical fatigue tests were performed on the specimens extracted from 1.5Cr-0. 67Mo-0.33V alloy. The characteristics of thermo-mechanical fatigue crack propagation were examined and reviewed in view of fracture mechanics. The results obtained from the present study are summarized as follows : (1) The propagation characteristics of isothermal low-cycle fatigue crack are dominated by .DELTA.J$_{f}$ in case of PP waveform, and .DELTA.J$_{c}$ in case of CP waveform. (II)The propagation characteristics of thermo-mechanical fatigue crack are dominated by .DELTA.J$_{c}$ for in-phase case, and by .DELTA.J$_{c}$ for out-of-phase. The present results were in good agreement with the equation of propagation law for isothermal low-cycle fatigue crack in case of thermo-mechanical fatigue.tigue.e.

Mechanical behaviors of uniaxially fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites under transverse loading conditions were studied at room and elevated temperatures. A mono-filament composite was selecte d as a representative analysis model with perfectly bonded fiber/matrix interface assumption. The elastic-plastic and visco-plastic models were investigated by both theoretical and numerical methods. The product of triaxiality factor and effective strain as well as stress components and strain energy was obtained as a function of location to estimate the failure sites in fiber-reinforced metal matrix composite. Results showed that fiber/ matrix interfacial debond plays a key role for local failure at the room temperature, while void creation and growth in addition to the interfacial debond are major concerns at the elevated temperature. It was also shown that there would be an optimal diameter of fiber for the strong fiber-reinforced metal matrix composite.

Titanium and its alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratios and creep properties in high temperature, which make them using many various fields of application. Especially, pure titanium, which has outstanding resistance for the stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, pitting and microbiologically influenced corrosion, brings out to the best material for the heat exchanger, ballast tank, desalination facilities, and so on. Responding to these needs, welding processes for titanium are also being used GTAW, GMAW, PAW, EBW, LBW, resistance welding and diffusion bonding, etc. However, titanium is very active and highly susceptible to embrittlement by oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon at high temperature, so it needs to shield the weld metal from the air and these gases during welding by non-active gas. In this study, it was possible to get sound beads without humping and spatter with a decrease of peak power according to increase of pulse width, change of welding speed and overlap rate for heat input control, and shield conditions at pulsed laser welding of titanium plates for Lap welding.

This paper presents an analytical prediction of nonlinear characteristics and behavior characteristics PSC structures with un-bonded tendon system. In this paper, a numerical model for un-bonded tendon is proposed based on the finite element method, which can represent straight or curved un-bonded tendon behavior. this model and time-dependent material model used to investigate the time-dependent behavior of un-bonded prestressed concrete structures. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process may be enhanced by the use of sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. A computer program, named RCAHEST(Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of concrete structures and steel plate was used. The material nonlinearities are taken into account by comprising the tension, compression, and shear models of cracked concrete and models for reinforcements and tendons in the concrete. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. It accounts for the aging, creep and shrinkage of concrete and the stress relaxation of prestressed steel. The proposed un-bonded tendon model and numerical method of un-bonded prestressed concrete structures is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

Tensile and low cycle fatigue tests on prior cold worked 3l6L stainless steel were carried out at various temperatures ftom room temperature to 650$^{\circ}C$. Fatigue resistance was decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Cyclic plastic deformation, creep, oxidation and interactions with each other are thought to be responsible for the reduction in fatigue resistance. Currently favored life prediction models were examined and it was found that it is important to select a proper life prediction parameter since stress-strain relation strongly depends on temperature. A phenomenological life prediction model was proposed to account for the influence of temperature on fatigue life and assessed by comparing with experimental result. LCF failure mechanism was investigated by observing fracture surfaces of LCF failed specimens with SEM.

이 연구에서는 점탄성 재료중의 하나인 아스팔트 세멘트의 점탄성 특성을 초음파를 이용하여 측정하는 방법에 대하여 고찰하였다. 2.25MHz의 주파수에서 $-20^{\circ}C$부터 $60^{\circ}C$까지의 온도변화에 따른 파속도와 감쇠를 측정한 후, 선형 점탄성 이론에 근거하여 저장 및 손실 종탄성율, 손실 탄젠트, 저장 및 손실 종컴플라이언스와 같은 물성변화를 구하였다. Maxwell과 Voigt-Kelvin 점탄성 모델을 이용하여 응력완화 및 크리프 거동과 점도의 변화도 예측하였다. 또한 중첩원리와 이동인자의 타당성을 문헌에 보고된 결과와 비교함으로써 입증할 수 있었다.

A general procedure to evaluate the sensitivity of design variables to stresses and strains in PSC flexural members is proposed. To accomplish the purpose of this study, long-term losses including creep, shrinkage, and PS steel relaxation are formulated based on the equilibrium states of the deformed sectional geometry. Thereby, the formulation follows the basic steps which consider the fundamental formulas adopted by CEB-FIP, ACI, and KCI rather than the age adjusted effective modulus concept. Twenty-one design variable including the material and geometrical properties of concrete, nonprestressing steel and prestressing steel, and the geometry of the cross section are considered in the sensitivity analysis. The gradients of the stresses and strains needed for the sensitivity assessment are calculated in a closed format. The derived formulation is applied to the T-type section PSC beam with prestressing and nonprestressing steels for the sensitivity analysis. The analytically calculated sensitivity results are compared with those numerically calculated to ensure the validity of the proposed procedure.
