  • This study aims to develop the program for design of a reinforced earth retaining wall. For this purpose, the external stability such as overturning, sliding and bearing capacity and the internal stability such as pull-out failure and tensile rupture of the reinforced earth retaining wall with the reinforcement spacing and the backfill inclination were examined. In addition, the calculated results from the developed program were verified by comparing with the simulated results based on the three-dimensional finite element analysis. It is expected that this program contributes to effective design of the reinforced earth retaining wall.

  • Use of axisymmetric shell element for the structure increases the efficiency and accuracy in finite element analysis of the interaction between the ground and the structure. This paper derived the force balance equation and the moment balance equation for an axisymmetric shell element based on Kirchhoff's theory. The governing equation for the axial deformation used the isoparametric shape function in the Galerkin formulation, and the governing equation for the shell bending used the higher-order shape function. The developed axisymmetric shell element was combined with Geo-COUS, a geotechnical finite element program for the coupled analysis with the ground. The accuracy of the developed element was confirmed through the example analyses of the circular plate and the liquid storage tank. And the energy balance equation for the axisymmetric shell element is presented.

  • In this study, new finite clement formulations are carried out to analyze the distortion of the curved steel box girders which are susceptible to the torsional loading. For the exact analysis of curved box girders, additional degrees of freedom are added besides the conventional 6 degrees of freedom of general-purpose finite analysis programs, which are torsional warping, distortional warring, and distortion. New formulations were coded into a computer programs. Several numerical examples were presented to demonstrate the validity of developed program.

  • This paper describes synthesis of a complex R$^{i}$ CR filter with a finite transmission zero except zero frequency. First, a new kernel function is proposed. Secondly, how to determine the element values included in the R$^{i}$ CR filter is described. A fifth-order R$^{i}$ CR filter is designed. Finally, the sensitivity property of the proposed filter is evaluated through computer simulation.

  • In this study, the Disturbed State Concept (DSC) constitutive model is calibrated and modified for steel-sand interface by using the HiS S model for relative intact (Rl) state and the critical state model for the fuBy adjusted (FA) part in the material. The general formulation for implementation is developed. Then, the DSC model with modification for interface is implemented in finite element program based on the generalized Biot's theory. The interface test under one-way monotonic and two-way cyclic loading were numerically simulated using the finite element program modified in this study. The DSC predictions show improved agreement with the observed results from laboratory test. Overall, the computer procedure with the DSC allows relatively improved simulation ofthe soil-structure interaction problems.oblems.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to predict the optimal bending angles of a running loop for bodily protraction of the mandibular first molars and to clarify the mechanics of molar tipping and rotation. Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model was developed for predicting tooth movement, and a mechanical model based on the beam theory was constructed for clarifying force systems. Results: When a running loop without bends was used, the molar tipped mesially by $9.6^{\circ}$ and rotated counterclockwise by $5.4^{\circ}$. These angles were almost similar to those predicted by the beam theory. When the amount of tip-back and toe-in angles were $11.5^{\circ}$ and $9.9^{\circ}$, respectively, bodily movement of the molar was achieved. When the bend angles were increased to $14.2^{\circ}$ and $18.7^{\circ}$, the molar tipped distally by $4.9^{\circ}$ and rotated clockwise by $1.5^{\circ}$. Conclusions: Bodily movement of a mandibular first molar was achieved during protraction by controlling the tip-back and toe-in angles with the use of a running loop. The beam theory was effective for understanding the mechanics of molar tipping and rotation, as well as for predicting the optimal bending angles.
