Small-scale models have been frequently used for experimental evaluation of seismic performance because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry is not well consistent in the inelastic seismic behavior. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material, added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to size of aggregate. Therefore, it is desirable that different material is used for small-scale models. Thus, a modified similitude law could be derived depending on geometric scale factor and equivalent modulus ratio. In this study, compressive strength tests are conducted to analyze equivalent modulus ratio of micro-concrete to normal-concrete. Equivalent modulus ratios are divided into elastic, weak nonlinear and strong nonlinear phases, which are based on ultimate strain level. Therefore, an algorithm adaptable to the pseudodynamic test, considering equivalent three phase similitude law based on seismic damage levels, is developed. In addition, prior to tile experiment, it is verified numerically if tile algorithm is applicable to the pseudodynamic test.

Small-scale models have been frequently used for seismic performance tests because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not also enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry similitude is not well consistent in their inelastic seismic behaviors. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material, added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to aggregate size. Therefore, it is desirable to use different materials for small-scale model. In our recent study, a modified similitude law was derived depending on geometric scale factor, equivalent modulus ratio and ultimate strain ratio. And quasi-static and pseudo-dynamic tests on the specimens are carried out using constant and variable modulus ratios, and correlation between prototype and small-scale model is investigated based on their test results. In this study, tests on scaled model of different concrete compressive strength aye carried out. In shaking table tests, added mass can not be varied. Thus, constant added mass on expected maximum displacement was applied and the validity was verified in shaking table tests. And shaking table tests on non-artificial mass model is carried out to settle a limitation of acceleration and the validity was verified in shanking table tests.

대형 구조물의 지진응답을 실험적으로 연구할 경우, 실험장비의 용량과 실험모형의 크기 제약으로 인하여 축소모형이 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 구조물의 지진응답은 비탄성 거동을 나타내기 때문에 거동예측이 복잡함에도 불구하고, 축소모형의 지진실험 결과로부터 원형구조물의 지진응답을 유추하기 위한 상사법칙의 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 철근콘크리트 구조물의 축소모형 제작 시 상사율이 커지면 상대적으로 부가질량이 증가하며, 또한 굵은 골재 크기의 영향으로 원형구조물과 축소모형의 제작에 동일한 재료를 사용하지 않는 것이 바람직하다. 따라서 동일한 재료를 사용하지 않을 경우, 상사법칙은 기하학적인 상사율과 재료적인 등가탄성계수비에 의존하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 원형구조물과 축소모형에 각각 적용되는 normal-concrete와 micro-concrete의 재료 비선형성을 파악하기 위해 압축강도시험을 수행하여, 재료의 거동구간을 극한 변형률을 기준으로 등가의 다단계로 나누어 등가탄성계수비를 적용시킴으로써 지진손상의 정도를 고려할 수 있는 equivalent multi-phase similitude law를 유도하였다. 유도된 상사법칙을 고려한 유사동적실험 알고리즘을 구성하였으며, 실험적인 검증을 위하여 철근콘크리트 column에 대하여 원형구조물과 1/5축소모형을 재료시험에서 정의한 등가탄성계수비를 고려하여 설계, 제작하였다. 검증실험에서는 constant modulus ratio와 variable modulus ratio를 적용하여 준정적실험과 유사동적실험을 수행한 결과, equivalent multi-phase similitude law를 고려한 유사동적실험 알고리즘에 의한 축소모형의 응답결과가 원형구조물의 거동을 비교적 정확히 재현함을 확인하였다.

실험장비의 용량 제약, 경제적인 이유 등으로 지진하중에 대한 구조물의 동적 거동을 연구할 경우, 보편적으로 축소모형이 많이 적용되고 있다. 그러나 구조물의 지진응답은 비탄성 거동을 나타내기 때문에 거동예측이 복잡함에도 불구하고, 축소모형의 지진실험 결과로부터 원형구조물의 지진응답을 유추하기 위한 상사법칙의 연구는 미비한 실정이다. RC구조물의 축소모형 제작 시 상사율이 커지면 상대적으로 부가질량이 증가하며, 또한 굵은 골재 크기의 영향으로 원형구조물과 축소모형의 제작에 동일한 재료를 사용하지 않는 것이 바람직하다. 따라서 동일한 재료를 사용하지 않을 경우, 상사법칙은 기하학적인 상사율과 재료적인 등가탄성계수비에 의존하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 원형구조물과 축소모형에 각각 적용되는 normal-concrete와 micro-concrete의 재료 비선형성을 파악하기 위해 압축강도시험을 수행하여, 재료의 거동구간을 등가의 다단계로 나누어 등가탄성계수비를 적용시킴으로써 지진손상의 정도를 고려할 수 있는 Equivalent multi-phase similitude law를 유도하였다. 이러한 상사법칙을 적용한 유사동적실험 알고리즘을 구축하여 수치해석적인 검증을 수행하여 유사동적실험의 적용성을 확인하였다.

As many of armored vehicles are seriously exposed to threat of IEDs(Improvised Explosive Devices) in the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. V-shaped military vehicles are deeply studied in order to protect crews and mounted soldiers against land mines. Generally the experiment on full-scaled V-shaped structure needs excessively high cost, which becomes a huge barrier to study. In this paper, we explore the possibility to make a half-scaled model of the V-shaped structure by using the geometric similarity scaling. We demonstrate the geometric similarity scaling between the original model and the half-scaled model is established on the momentum and deflections of structure via computer simulations and experiments. At this stage, we conduct only numerical analysis of predicting vibration of V-shaped structure because measuring vibration of structure is difficult in the mass-explosion experiment, which is remained as future work.

In this study, the mast cover of submarine was reverse engineered and structural analysis was performed. In order to print with the 3D printer, the modeling was reduced to 1/5 size by applying geometric similarity. From the structural analysis results, it was found that the maximum value of equivalent stress generated in the mast cover was 180.9 MPa. This stress value occurs on the inner surface in the major axis. As a result of applying the load condition at a diving depth of 600 m, the mast cover is in a completely elastic state. The 1/5 size model printed on FDM 3D printer with PLA filament was the same as the reverse engineered modeling and it was printed in a perfect shape with no apparent defects. The 1/5 size model printed on PBF 3D printer with SUS316L powder was perfectly manufactured with no apparent defects.

This paper presents the fatigue life of transverse joint of concrete pavement with the fatigue model test. A 1/12 scale model was used to satisfy the geometric load, material similitude, which are variables to the skew angel of transverse joint. From the test results by fatigue load 700kgf applied, we can have that the fatigue life of transverse joint with skew angle is better than that of transverse joint without skew angle. In addition, we can have that the fatigue life of skewed transverse joint with angle of 10 degree is better than that of skewed transverse joint with angle of 20 degree.

In this study, a study was conducted to localize a large aluminum turbo fan used for tank powerpack. The turbo fan was scanned with a 3D scanner and then 3D modeling was performed. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were performed from the performance conditions of the fan, and structural analysis was performed using the pressure data obtained from CFD. The fan was reduced to 1/5 size by applying the geometric similarity. A 1/5 size fan has a honeycomb structure inserted into the front shroud and back shroud to reduce the weight by 5.3%. A 1/5 size fan was printed using a PBF 3D printer, and a 1/5 size fan with honeycombs was also printed. The pressure drop of 8.67 kPa and the required power of 138.19 kW, which satisfies the performance conditions of the fan, were confirmed from the results of CFD. The values of the maximum deformation amount of 0.000788 mm and the maximum effective stress of 0.241 MPa were confirmed from the structural analysis results. The fan printed by the PBF 3D printer had the same shape as the modeling, and the shape was perfect. There are no defects anywhere in appearance. However, the condition of the outer surface of the fan's back shroud is rough compared to other locations. The fan in which the honeycomb was inserted was also perfectly output, and the shape of the honeycomb was the same as the modeling.

Recently, severe wear on the shutdown rod cladding of Ulchin Nuclear Power Plant #1, #2 were observed by the Eddy Current Test(E.C.T.). In particular, the wear at the sixth card location was up to 75%. The test results indicated that the Flow Induced Vibration(F.I.V.) might be the cause of the fretting wear resulting from the contact between Rod Cluster Control Assemblies(RCCAs) and their spacing cards(guide plates) arranged in the guide tube. From reviewing RCCAs fretting wear repots and analyzing the general characteristics of F.I.V. mechanism in the reactor, geometric layout and flow conditions around the control rod, it is concluded that the turbulence excitation is the most probable vibration mechanism of RCCA. To identify the governing mechanism of RCCA vibration, an experiment was performed for a representative rod position in which the most serious fretting wear experienced among the six rod positions. The experimental rig was designed and set up to satisfy the governing nondimensional numbers which are Reynolds number and mass damping parameter. The vibration amplitude measurement by the non-contact laser displacement sensor showed good agreements in the frequency and the maximum wearing(vibration) location with Ulchin E.C.T. results and Framatome report, respectively. The sudden increase in the vibration amplitude was sensed around the 6th guide plate with mass flow rate variation. Comparing the similitude rod behaviour with the idealized response of a cylinder in flow induced vibration, it was found that he dominant mechanism of vibration was transferred from turbulence excitation to periodic shedding at the mass flow ate 90ι/min. Also the critical velocity of the vibration in RCCAs was determined and the vibration can be prevented by reducing the bypass flow rate below the critical velocity.

동일한 흙으로 조성된 모형지반에 대하여 1-g 모형실험과 원심모형실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 원형지반은 10m 두께의 수평하고 느슨한 포화 사질토 지반으로 가정하였다. 1-g 모형실험은 1/20 축소모형, 원심모형실험은 1/40 축소모형을 이용하였다. 원심모형실험의 경우 점성유체를 사용하여 동적시간에 대한 상사비와 과잉간극수압소산시간에 대한 상사비가 동일하도록 하였다. 원심모형실험의 계측결과는 원형지반의 거동으로 가정하였다. 그리고, 1-g모형실험에 정상상태개념 및 두 가지 시간상사비 등을 적용하여 원형지반의 거동을 모사하고자 하였다. 동일한 위치에서의 과잉간극수압, 지반가속도 그리고 지표 침하량 등을 계측하여 비교하였다. 실험결과 지반의 투수계수가 작아서 진동 중 과잉간극수압 소산의 영향이 작고, 소산시간상사비를 적절하게 결정하면 1-g 모형실험으로부터 원형지반의 과잉간극수압 거동을 모사할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
