Experimental investigations were performed to examine the characteristics of propagating flame fronts around multiple bars within a rectangular chamber. The explosion chamber is 400 mm in height, $700{\times}700mm^2$ in cross-section and has a large top-venting area, $A_v$, of $700{\times}210mm^2$. This results in a value of 0.44 for $A_v/V^{2/3}$ and a L/D value of 0.57. The multiple obstacles of length 700 mm with a blockage ratio of 30 % were placed within the chamber. Temporally resolved flame front images were recorded by a high speed video camera to investigate the interaction between the propagating flame and the obstacles. Results showed that the flame propagation speeds before the flame impinges onto the obstacle almost equal to the laminar burning velocity. As the propagating flame impinged on the obstacle, the central region of flame began to become concave, this resulted in the flame deceleration in the region. As the flame interacted with the modified flow filed generated behind the central obstacle, the probability density functions(PDFs) of the local flame displacement speed were extensively distributed toward higher speeds.

Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams are critical structural elements used in offshore pile caps, rectangular cross-section water tanks, silo structures, transfer beams in high-rise buildings, and bent caps. As a result of the low shear span ratio to effective depth (a/d) in deep beams, arch action occurs, which leads to shear failure. Several studies have been carried out to improve the shear resistance of RC deep beams and avoid brittle fracture behavior in recent years. This study was performed to investigate the behavior of RC deep beams numerically and experimentally with different reinforcement arrangements. Deep beams with four different reinforcement arrangements were produced and tested under monotonic static loading in the study's scope. The horizontal and vertical shear reinforcement members were changed in the test specimens to obtain the effects of different reinforcement arrangements. However, the rebars used for tension and the vertical shear reinforcement ratio were constant. In addition, the behavior of each deep beam was obtained numerically with commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software ABAQUS, and the findings were compared with the experimental results. The results showed that the reinforcements placed diagonally significantly increased the load-carrying and energy absorption capacities of RC deep beams. Moreover, an apparent plastic plateau was seen in the load-displacement curves of these test specimens in question (DE-2 and DE-3). This finding also indicated that diagonally located reinforcements improve displacement ductility. Also, the numerical results showed that the FEM method could be used to accurately predict RC deep beams'behavior with different reinforcement arrangements.

본 연구는 변위제약조건을 고려한 강구조물의 최적화를 위하여 효율적인 쌍대알고리즘을 제시한다. 쌍대법은 최적화 문제를 하나의 간단한 대수학적인 형태를 가지는 근사화된 양함수형태의 부문제로 대치할 수 있고, 이때 각 부문제는 볼록면을 가지며 분리 가능한 형태이기 때문에 쌍대알고리즘을 적용함으로써 효과적으로 풀려질 수 있다는 개념에 근거한다. 특히, 본 연구는 양함수형태의 변위제약조건식을 설정하기 위해 가상일의 원리를 적용하고자하며 아울러 쌍대알고리즘내에 단면특성관계를 나타내는 선형회귀식을 추가하여 설계변수의 수를 감소시켜 주고자 한다. 또한 부재선정을 위해 상용화된 표준 철골 단면을 검토함으로써 이산형 최적화문제도 고려한다. 이러한 연구 결과는 기존의 해석기법인 최적정기준법과 비교검토된다.

The mathematical modelling of screw compressor processes and its implementation in their design began about 30 years ago with the publication of several pioneering papers on this topic, mainly at Purdue Compressor Conferences. This led to the gradual introduction of computer aided design, which, in turn, resulted in huge improvements in these machines, especially in oil-flooded air compressors, where the market is very competitive. A review of progress in such methods is presented in this paper together with their application in successful compressor designs. As a result of their introduction, even small details are now considered significant in efforts to improve performance and reduce costs. Despite this, there are still possibilities to introduce new methods and procedures for improved rotor profiles, design optimisation for each specified duty and specialized compressor design, all of which can lead to a better product and new areas of application. A review of methods and procedures which lead to modern screw compressor practice is presented in this paper. This paper is intended to give a cross section through activities being done in mathematical modelling of screw compressor process through last five decades. It is expected to serve as a basis for further contributions in the area and as a challenge to the forthcoming generations of scientists and engineers to concentrate their efforts in finding future and more extended approaches and submit their contributions.

Experimental studies have been carried out to investigate characteristics of gas explosion using a multi layered water gel barrier in a vented explosion chamber. The chamber is consisted of 1600 mm in length, with a square cross-section of $100{\times}100mm^2$. The gel concentration of inner layer of MLWGB ranged from 10% to 90% with intervals of 10% by weight of gel. Displacement of the MLWGB was photographed with a measured using a high-speed video camera, and pressure development was measured using a data acquisition system. It was found that MLWGBs with 10 ~ 20% inner layer concentrations were ruptured during the explosions. As the concentrations of inner layer increased from 30% to 90%, the barriers were not ruptured. As the gel concentrations of the inner layer increased, the displacement increased toward the chamber exit and the pressure decreased for the ruptured barriers. It was found that the pressure attenuation obtained from the MLWGB was higher than that of the single water gel barrier. For the cases of non-ruptured barriers, the pressure inside the chamber less increased with increasing gel concentrations of the inner layer. It was also found that the displacement moved back into the chamber for non-ruptured MLWGBs, and it was sensitive to the gel concentrations.

선로하부를 굴착한 후의 가설교량 설치공법은 이동형 가로보를 갖는 공법으로 시공시 전차선 차단 및 레일절단이 불필요하고 열차운행 횟수가 많은 복선부에서도 적용 가능한 공법이다. 본 논문에서는 공사구간이 곡선부(R400)구간으로 가설교량 공법 시공 후의 변위특성을 검토하기 위해 변위계를 설치하고 열차 통과 시의 윤중 횡압을 계측하여 곡선부(R400)의 주행안전성 검토를 평가하였다. 측정결과 가설교량을 통과시 열차종별 윤중과 횡압의 최대값은 각각 국외 궤도성능평가 기준의 51%, 81% 수준으로 분석되어 윤중, 횡압 발생에 따른 궤도 안전성 측면에서는 큰 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 주행안전성의 평가기준이 되는 최대 탈선계수와 최대 윤중감소율은 열차종별에 관계없이 허용한계치의 49% 수준으로 그 기준치에는 못 미치는 것으로 나타나 열차 통과시의 주행안전성 확보에는 큰 문제가 없는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, the behaviour of axially loaded partially encased composite columns made with light welded H steel shapes is examined using ABAQUS finite element modelling. The results of the numerical simulations are compared to the response observed in previous experimental studies on that column system. The steel shape of the specimens has transverse links attached to the flanges to improve its local buckling capacity and concrete is poured between the flanges only. The test specimens included 14 stubcolumns with a square cross section ranging from 300 mm to 600 mm in depth. The transverse link spacing varied from 0.5 to 1 times the depth and the width-to-thickness ratio of the flanges ranged from 23 to 35. The numerical model accounted for nonlinear stress-strain behaviour of materials, residual stresses in the steel shape, initial local imperfections of the flanges, and allowed for large rotations in the solution. A Riks displacement controlled strategy was used to carry out the analysis. Plastic analyses on the composite models reproduced accurately the capacity of the specimens, the failure mode, the axial strain at peak load, the transverse stresses in the web, and the axial stresses in the transverse links. The influence of applying a typical construction loading sequence could also be reproduced numerically. A design equation is proposed to determine the axial capacity of this type of column.

For buildings subjected to blast loading, structural failure can be categorized into local failure (direct blast effects) and progressive collapse (consequential effects). In direct blast effects, the intensive blast pressures create localized failure of structural elements such as exterior columns and walls. Columns, and their behaviour, play a key role in these situations. Therefore investigating the behaviour of columns under blast loading is very important to estimate the strength, safety and reliability of the whole structure. When a building is subjected to blast loading, it experiences huge loading pressures and undergoes great displacement and plastic behaviour. In order to study the behaviour of an element under blast loading, in addition to elastic properties of materials, plastic and elastic-plastic properties of materials and sections are needed. In this paper, using analytical studies and nonlinear time-history analysis by Ansys software, the effects of shape of column sections and boundary conditions, on behaviour and local failure of steel columns under blast load are studied. This study identifies the importance of elastic-plastic properties of sections and proposes criteria for choosing the best section and boundary conditions for columns to resist blast loading.

This study examined geometric and physical nonlinear analyses of beams and arches specifically from rolled profiles used in mining and underground constructions. These profiles possess the ability to create plastic hinges owing to their robustness. It was assumed that displacements in beams and arches fabricated from these profiles were comparable with the size of the structure. It also considered changes in the shape of a rod cross-section and the nonlinearities of the structure. The analyses were based on virtual unit moments, effective flexural rigidity of used open sections, and a secant method. The use of the approach led to a solution for the "after-critical" condition in which deformation increased with decreases in loads. The solution was derived for static determinate beams and static indeterminate arches. The results were compared with results obtained in other experimental tests and methods.
