Since behaviors of loose, dense, silty sands vary under seismic loading, understanding the liquefaction mechanism of sandy soils continues to be an important challenges of geotechnical earthquake engineering. In this study, 36 deformation controlled cyclic simple shear tests were performed and the liquefaction potential of the sands was investigated using three different relative densities (40, 55, 70%), four different effective stresses (25, 50, 100, 150 kPa) and three different shear strain amplitudes (2, 3.5, 5%) by using energy based approach. Experiments revealed the relationship between per unit volume dissipated energy with effective stress, relative density and shear strain. The dissipate energy per unit volume was much less affected by shear strain than effective stress and relative density. In other words, the dissipated energy is strongly dependent on relative density and effective stress. These results show that the dissipated energy per unit volume is very useful and may contain the non-uniform loading conditions of the earthquake spectrum. When multiple regression analysis is performed on experiment results, a relationship is proposed that gives liquefaction energy of sandy soils depending on relative density and effective stress parameters.

During this study, various stress path tests in previous isotropic and anisotropic (compression and tension) stress histories are performed on weathered granite soil sampled at Iksan, Jeonbuk. Yielding points are determined from various stress-strain curves(stress ratio-shear strain, volumetric strain, normalized energy and dissipated total energy curves). The shape and characteristics of isotropic and anisotropic yielding curves are examined. The main results are summarized as follows . 1) Yielding curries defined from stress ratio - normarized energy and dissipated total energy curves show almost perfect ellipse. 2) Directions of plastic strain incremental vector are not perpendicular to yielding curve. 3) Normarized energy and dissipated total energy spread with similar tendency with respect to yielding currie in stress space.

본 연구의 주목적은 아스팔트 혼합물의 피로균열에 대한 예측모델을 개발하는 것이다. 아스팔트 혼합물의 피로균열 시험을 위하여 응력제어 간접인장피로 시험이 수행되었다. 피로균열에 대한 예측모델 개발을 위하여 내적손상비 증가 개념이 도입되었다. 내적손상비증가 개념에서는 방출에너지 개념을 주로 사용하였으며 기준인장변형율 및 변형율 추이 요소 등이 추가로 사용되었다. 피로시험에서 나타난 방출에너지의 원인은 아스팔트 콘크리트 시료 내부의 손상증가와 재료 자체가 갖고 있는 고유의 점탄성 특성에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 방출에너지는 하중재하 횟수가 증가함에 따라 점차 증가함을 보였다.

In this study, Liquefaction characteristics of saturated sand under various dynamic loadings such as sinusoidal loading, increasing wedge loading, and real earthquake loading were investigated focusing on the dissipated energy. From the results of cyclic triaxial test, liquefaction resistance strength was calculated by the concept of energy according to the type of input loading. Liquefaction resistance strength was expressed in accumulated dissipated energy calculated from stress-strain curve(hysteresis loop). The dissipated energy according to loading type was compared and the energy-based evaluation was proposed. The procedures are presented in terms of normalized energy demand(NED), normalized energy capacity(NEC), and factor of safely, where NED is the load imparted to the soil by the loading(both amplitude and duration), NEC is the demand required to induce liquefaction, and factor of safely is defined as the ratio of NEC and NED.

In most self-center braces, decreasing residual deformation is possible only by increasing pretension force, which results in lower energy dissipation capacity. On the other hand, increasing energy dissipation capacity means higher values of residual deformation. The goal of this research was to find the best design for a self-centering buckling restrained brace (SC-BRB) system by balancing self-centering capability and energy dissipation. Three, six, and nine-story structures were investigated using OpenSees software and the TCL programming language to achieve this goal. For each height, 62 different SC-BRBs were considered using different values for the pretension force of cables, the area of the buckling restrained brace (BRB) core plate, and the yield stress of the core plate. The residual deformation and dissipated energy of all the models were calculated using nonlinear analyses after cyclic loading was applied. The optimum design for each height was determined among all the models and was compared to the structure equipped with the usual BRB. The residual deformation of the framed buildings was significantly reduced, according to the findings. Also the reduction of the energy dissipation was acceptable. The optimum design of SC-BRB in 6-story building has the most reduction percent in residual deformation, it can reduce residual deformation of building 83% while causing only a 57% of reduction in dissipated energy. The greatest reduction in residual deformation versus dissipated energy reduction was for the optimum SC-BRB design of 9-story building, results indicated that it can reduce residual deformation of building 69% while causing only a 42% of reduction in dissipated energy.

In this paper, a complete solution is presented for dynamic plastic response of a rigid, perfectly plastic hinged-free beam, of which one end is simply supported or hinged and the other end free, subjected to a transverse strike by a travelling mass at an arbitrary location along its span. The governing differential equations are expressed in non-dimensional forms and solved numerically to obtain the instantaneous deflection of the beam and the plastic dissipated energy in the beam. The dynamic behavior for a hinged-free beam is more complicated than that of a free-free beam. It transpires that the mass ratio and impact position have significant influence on the final deformation. In the aspect of energy dissipation, unlike simply supported or clamped beams for which the plastic deformation consumes almost the total input energy, a considerable portion of the input energy would be transferred as rigid-body motion of hinged-free beam, and the energy dissipated in its plastic deformation is greatly reduced.

압출성형공정에서 주로 자가발열로 전환되는 것으로 알려진 모터에너지를 자가발열 에너지와 기계에너지로 구분하였다. 온도 상승에 의한 에너지를 열에너지로 간주하였고, 모터에너지에서 자가발열로 전환된 에너지를 감한 나머지 에너지를 기계에너지로 정의하여, 일정한 배럴온도를 조건으로 할 때 열에너지 및 상대기계에너지(최저 스크류회전속도에서의 기계에너지를 0으로 기준하여 계산된 값)를 정량화할 수 있는 방법을 완성하였다. 콘그리트(corn grit)를 수분함량 $27{\sim}36%$의 범위에서 압출성형하였을 때, 스크류회전속도가 증가할수록 상대기계에너지는 크게 변화하였고, 열에너지는 거의 비슷하게 유지되었다. 수분함량이 높아질수록 상대기계에너지는 크게 증가하였고, 열에너지는 약간 증가하였다. 이로부터 수분함량이 높아질수록 모터에너지로부터 자가발열보다는 상대기계에너지의 작용이 커짐을 알 수 있었다.

The energy-based approach to predict the fatigue crack growth behavior under constant and variable amplitude loading (VAL) of the aluminum alloy 2024 T351 has been investigated and detailed analyses discussed. Firstly, the plastic strain energy was determined per cycle for different block load tests. The relationship between the crack advance and hysteretic energy dissipated per block can be represented by a power law. Then, an analytical model to estimate the lifetime for each spectrum is proposed. The results obtained are compared with the experimentally measured results and the models proposed by Klingbeil's model and Tracey's model. The evolution of the hysteretic energy dissipated per block is shown similar with that observed under constant amplitude loading.

본 연구에서는 비선형 디스크 스프링과 고무링으로 구성된 완충장치의 감쇠에 관하여 연구하였다. 고무링의 마찰력과 디스크 스프링의 이력현상을 측정하여, 디스크 스프링의 적층 배열에 따른 이력곡선을 근사하고, 소산되는 에너지의 양을 추산하였다. 마찰력과 소산 에너지에 근거하여 네 종류의 감쇠 해석모델을 제시하였으며, 각각의 모델에 대한 충격응답을 고찰하였다. 고무링의 마찰력보다는 디스크 스프링의 이력현상이 완충장치의 감쇠거동에서 더 큰 영향을 미치었다. 가장 실용적인 감쇠 모델로는 소산되는 총 에너지의 양에 근거한 등가 점성 감쇠 모델이 다른 감쇠 모델보다 적합하다는 결론을 얻었다.

Two prestressed steel reinforced high performance concrete (SRC) beams, a nonprestressed SRC beam and a counterpart prestressed concrete beam were tested under low reversed cyclic loading to evaluate seismic performance of prestressed SRC beams. The failure modes, deformation restoring capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the prestressed SRC beams were discussed. Results showed that due to the effect of plastic deformations of steel beams encased in concrete, the three SRC beams exhibited residual deformation ratios ranging between 0.64 and 0.79, which were apparently higher than that of the prestressed concrete beam (0.33). The ductility coefficients of the prestressed SRC beams and the prestressed concrete beam ranged between 4.65 and 4.87, obviously lower than that of nonprestressed SRC beam (9.09), which indicated the steel beams influenced the ductility little while prestressing resulted in an apparent reduction in ductility. The amount of energy dissipated by the prestressed SRC beams was less than that dissipated by the nonprestressed SRC beam but much more than that dissipated by the prestressed concrete beam.
