The present study tackles the problem of forced vibration of imperfect axially functionally graded shell structure with truncated conical geometry. The linear and nonlinear large-deflection of the structure are considered in the mathematical formulation using von-Kármán models. Modified coupled stress method and principle of minimum virtual work are employed in the modeling to obtain the final governing equations. In addition, formulations of classical elasticity theory are also presented. Different functions, including the linear, convex, and exponential cross-section shapes, are considered in the grading material modeling along the thickness direction. The grading properties of the material are a direct result of the porosity change in the thickness direction. Vibration responses of the structure are calculated using the semi-analytical method of a couple of homotopy perturbation methods (HPM) and the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). Contradicting effects of small-scale, porosity, and volume fraction parameters on the nonlinear amplitude, frequency ratio, dynamic deflection, resonance frequency, and natural frequency are observed for shell structure under various boundary conditions.

Three-point bending is the main method for measuring the elastic modulus of a thin plate. Although various displacement transducers may be used to measure the bending, these are single-point measurements, and it is difficult to eliminate the error caused by eccentric load and shear force. Error-correction models for the elastic modulus of quartz glass using digital speckle interferometry are proposed for eccentric load and shear force. First, the positional misalignment between maximum deflection and load is analyzed, and the error caused by eccentric load is corrected. Then, the additional displacement caused by shear force at different positions of the quartz glass plate is explored. The effect of shear deformation is also corrected, by measuring two points. Since digital speckle interferometry has the advantage of full-field measurement, it can simultaneously obtain deflection data for multiple points to realize error correction. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate that the proposed model can effectively correct the measurement error of the elastic modulus.

This article aims to investigate the static deflection and stress analysis of bi-directional functionally graded porous plate (BDFGPP) modeled by unified higher order kinematic theories to include the shear stress effects, which not be considered before. Different shear functions are described according to higher order models that satisfy the zero-shear influence at the top and bottom surfaces, and hence refrain from the need of shear correction factor. The material properties are graded through two spatial directions (i.e., thickness and length directions) according to the power law distribution. The porosities and voids inside the material constituent are described by different cosine functions. Hamilton's principle is implemented to derive the governing equilibrium equation of bi-directional FG porous plate structures. An efficient numerical differential integral quadrature method (DIQM) is exploited to solve the coupled variable coefficients partial differential equations of equilibrium. Problem validation and verification have been proven with previous prestigious work. Numerical results are illustrated to present the significant impacts of kinematic shear relations, gradation indices through thickness and length, porosity type, and boundary conditions on the static deflection and stress distribution of BDFGP plate. The proposed model is efficient in design and analysis of many applications used in nuclear, mechanical, aerospace, naval, dental, and medical fields.

Occupant simulation models have been used to study trends or specific design changes in several typical crash situations. The ATB, Articulated Total Body, was developed and used to predict gross human body responses to vehicle crashes and pilot ejections. Since the ATB source code is open to public, the user can add their own defined modules and functions. The introduction of seat belts into cars significantly decreased the injury risk of passengers in frontal impacts. In this paper, a new seat belt model was developed and implemented into the ATB. For this purpose, a subroutine of the new seat belt was constructed. A force-deflection function was added to replace an existing function to consider energy absorption. The function includes hysteresis effects of the experiment data of the loading and unloading parts of the seat belt load-extension curve. Moreover, this belt model considers a slip between ellipsoid and belt segments. This paper attempted to validate the ATB program which includes the subroutine of new belt models comparing with the real car frontal crash experiments and MADYMO frontal models. The analysis focusses on the human movement and body accelerations.

The ultimate strength behaviour of sandwich composite beams with J-hooks and normal weight concrete (SCSSBJNs) are studied through two-point loading tests on ten full-scale SCSSBJNs. The test results show that the SCSSBJN with different parameters under two-point loads exhibits three types of failure modes, i.e., flexure, shear, and combined shear and flexure mode. SCSSBJN failed in different failure modes exhibits different load-deflection behaviours, and the main difference of these three types of behaviours exist in their last working stages. The influences of thickness of steel faceplate, shear span ratio, concrete core strength, and spacing of J-hooks on structural behaviours of SCSSBJN are discussed and analysed. These test results show that the failure mode of SCSSBJN was sensitive to the thickness of steel faceplate, shear span ratio, and concrete core strength. Theoretical models are developed to estimate the cracking, yielding, and ultimate bending resistance of SCSSBJN as well as its transverse cross-sectional shear resistance. The validations of predictions by these theoretical models proved that they are capable of estimating strengths of novel SCSSBJNs.

In this study, the flexural behaviors of one- and two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strengthened with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips under impact loads were investigated. The flexural strengthening of RC slabs under simulated static monotonic loads has been comprehensively studied. However, the flexural behavior of RC slabs strengthened with CFRP strips has not been investigated extensively, particularly those conducted numerically. Nonlinear three-dimensional finite element models were developed, executed, and verified against previous experimental results, producing satisfactory models with approximately 4% error. The models were extended to a parametric study, considering three geometric parameters: the slab rectangularity ratio, CFRP strip width, and CFRP strip configuration. Finally, the main results were used to derive a new formula for predicting the total deflection of RC slabs strengthened with CFRP strips under impact loads with an error of approximately 10%. The proposed equation reflected the slab rectangularity, CFRP strip width, equivalent slab stiffness, and dropped weight. Results indicated that the use of CFRP strips enhanced the overall impact performance, the wider the CFRP width, the better the enhancement. Moreover, the application of diagonally oriented CFRP strips diminished the cracking zone compared to straight strips. Additionally, the diagonal orientation of CFRP strips was more efficient for two-way slabs while the vertical orientation was found to be better in the case of one-way slabs.

The functionally graded (FG) porous plates are usually characterized by the non-symmetric elastic modulus distribution through the thickness so that the plate neutral surface does not coincide with the mid-surface. Nevertheless, the conventional analysis models were mostly based on the plate mid-surface so that the accuracy of resulting numerical results is questionable. In this context, this paper presents the neutral surface-based static and free vibration analysis of FG porous plates and investigates the differences between the mid- and neutral surface-based analysis models. The neutral surface-based numerical method is formulated using the (3,3,2) hierarchical model and approximated by the last introduced natural element method (NEM). The volume fractions of metal and ceramic are expressed by the power-law function and the cosine-type porosity distributions are considered. The proposed numerical method is demonstrated through the benchmark experiment, and the differences between two analysis models are parametrically investigated with respect to the thickness-wise material and porosity distributions. It is found from the numerical results that the difference cannot be negligible when the material and porosity distributions are remarkably biased in the thickness direction.

도심지 터널 건설에 있어서 중요한 고려 사항중 하나가 지상 건물에 대한 터널 굴착의 영향을 평가하는 문제이다. 일반적으로 터널 굴착에 의한 지표침하로 인접구조물이 영향을 받기도 하지만 기존 인접구조물이 터널 굴착에 따른 지표침하에 영향을 미치기도 한다. 이러한 터널 굴착에 의한 기존 인접구조물의 침하억제 효과와 구조물 손상 평가인자의 감소효과를 규명하기 위해서 3차원 탄소성 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 터널 굴착에 기인한 지반침하가 인접구조물에 미치는 영향과 인접구조물이 지표침하에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해서 총 162개의 2차원 탄소성 유한요소 모델을 설정하고, 매개변수 변환연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 폭과 구조물의 축강성 및 휨강성, 구조물의 위치, 터널 심도 등을 고려하였다. 그리고, 구조물과 지반침하의 상호작용을 표현하기 위해서 구조물의 손상평가 인자인 뒤틈각(angular distortion), 처짐비(deflection ratio), 건물의 최대침하량, 부등침하량 및 수평변형률 등의 변화를 관찰하였다. 한편, 지반의 강성과 구조물의 축, 휨강성을 대표할 수 있는 상대 강성비를 도입함으로써 터널 설계자가 활용할 수 있는 도표를 제시하였고, 구조물을 고려하지 않은 상태에서의 greenfield 지표침하 트라프를 수정할 수 있는 보정계수(modification factor) 개념을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 구조물과 지표침하와의 상호 간섭효과에 의한 지표침하의 억제와 인접구조물 손상평가 인자들의 감소효과를 고려할 수 있도록 하기 위해서 설계 단계에서 보정계수를 활용한 인접구조물의 합리적인 손상평가방법을 제안하였다.

본 논문은 AREA법을 사용하는 줄눈 콘크리트포장의 평가에 3차원 유한요소모델을 사용하는 경우 나타나는 특성을 조사하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 실제 콘크리트포장을 거동을 반영할 수 있는 3차원 유한요소모델을 구축하였고 2차원 모델과 비교한 후 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. ILLISLAB을 사용한 2차원 모델과 비교하였고 하중형태의 영향 보다 하중재하 지점의 자체수축과 기층모델에 따른 영향을 더 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 3차원 모델에서 비선형 온도구배를 선형 온도구배로 변화시키는 경우 발생하는 영향을 조사하였고 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았으나 지반 탄성계수가 작아질수록 더 많은 차이를 보였다. 동적하중에 의한 처짐을 구하였고 정적하중에 의한 처짐과 비교한 결과 낮은 지반 탄성계수에서는 동적하중에 의한 처짐이 작게 나타났으나 높은 지반 탄성계수에서는 동적하중에 의한 처짐이 크게 나타났다. 동적하중에 의한 처짐 이력을 구하고 AREA법을 이용하여 동적지지력과 탄성계수를 역산하였으며 이를 정적 처짐에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 동적지지력의 경우 정적 해석에 의한 값보다 동적해석에 의한 값이 낮게 나타났고 탄성계수의 경우 반대의 경향을 나타내어 현장에서 AREA법을 사용하는 경우 나타나는 평가결과의 특성을 설명하는 것으로 판단되었다.
