In the frontal collision of cars, front parts of cars such as engine rail and side members that are composed of hatted section tubes should absorb most of the collision energy far the passenger compartment not to be deformed. For these reasons the study on the collapse characteristics, maximum crushing load and energy absorption capacity of hatted section tubes are needed. In this study, top hatted section tubes and double hatted section tubes are investigated. The maximum crushing load of hatted section tubes is induced from plastic buckling stress of plates by considering that the hatted section tubes are composed of plates with each different boundary conditions and that its material has a strain hardening effect. On this concept maximum crushing load equations of hatted section tubes are derived and verified by experiments. from the results of experiment, the differences of collapse characteristics between top hatted section tube and double hatted section tube are analysed. And mean crushing loads of hatted section tubes from experiments are compared with other theory.

본 연구에서는 각종 구조물 철거 시 발생하는 폐콘크리트를 파쇄 처리하여 발생한 순환골재를 각종 토공 및 보조기 층용에 재활용 시 발생할 수 있는 하중-변위 및 파쇄 특성을 분석하기 위해 단입자 파쇄실험을 실시하였다. 수화물과 골재로 구성된 75mm 이하의 순환골재를 40mm 크기(75-40mm 사이)와 20mm 크기(40-20mm 사이)의 골재로 나누어 실험하였다. 순환골재에 하중이 증가할 경우 단입자의 파쇄 거동은 불규칙한 표면이 가압판에 밀착되면서 초기에 표면이 파쇄되는 '표면파쇄(Surface crushing)', 표면파쇄 이후 골재와 수화물이 분리되는 소규모 부분적 파쇄와 균열이 반복적으로 발생하는 '수화물파쇄(Hydrate crushing)', 수화물파쇄가 단계적으로 반복되다가 최대하중에서 골재가 파쇄되면서 하중이 급격히 감소되는 취성파괴인 '골재파쇄(Aggregate crushing)'의 순서로 파쇄 사이클(crushing cycle)이 진행되었다. 한편, 하중이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 이러한 파쇄 사이클은 수 차례 반복되는 경향을 보였다. 순환골재의 형상은 둥글거나 사각형에 가깝거나, 삼각형 또는 길쭉한 형태로 표면상태나 형상에 따라 파쇄 형상이 다르게 나타났다. 골재파쇄(최대 파쇄)에서 취성파괴로 하중이 감소되는 비율인 파쇄하중 감소율은 50% 이상인 경우는 63% 정도이며, 90% 이상인 경우도 15% 정도로 나타났다. 40mm 단입자는 최대하중 3.05~4.38kN 정도에서 대부분 파쇄되어 작은 입자로 분리되며, 세립화된 단입자 개수를 기준으로 20mm 이하의 분포비율은 약 70% 정도였다.

The energy absorption characteristics of diamond core sandwich cylindrical columns under axial crushing process depend greatly on the amount of material which participates in the plastic deformation. Both the single-objective and multi-objective optimizations are performed for columns under axial crushing load with core thickness and helix pitch of the honeycomb core as design variables. Models are optimized by multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to achieve maximum specific energy absorption (SEA) capacity and minimum peak crushing force (PCF). Results show that optimization improves the energy absorption characteristics with constrained and unconstrained peak crashing load. Also, it is concluded that the aluminum tube has a better energy absorption capability rather than steel tube at a certain peak crushing force. The results justify that the interaction effects between the honeycomb and column walls greatly improve the energy absorption efficiency. A ranking technique for order preference (TOPSIS) is then used to sort the non-dominated solutions by the preference of decision makers. That is, a multi-criteria decision which consists of MOPSO and TOPSIS is presented to find out a compromise solution for decision makers. Furthermore, local and global sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the effect of design variable values on the SEA and PCF functions in design domain. Based on the sensitivity analysis results, it is concluded that for both models, the helix pitch of the honeycomb core has greater effect on the sensitivity of SEA, while, the core thickness has greater effect on the sensitivity of PCF.

In this article, the multi-objective optimization of cylindrical aluminum tubes under axial impact load is presented. The specific absorbed energy and the maximum crushing force are considered as objective functions. The geometric dimensions of tubes including diameter, length and thickness are chosen as design variables. D/t and L/D ratios are constricted in the range of which collapsing of tubes occurs in concertina or diamond mode. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II is applied to obtain the Pareto optimal solutions. A back-propagation neural network is constructed as the surrogate model to formulate the mapping between the design variables and the objective functions. The finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used to generate the training and test sets for the artificial neural networks. To validate the results of finite element model, several impact tests are carried out using drop hammer testing machine.

Experimental and numerical studies were done to investigate seismic performance of slender shear walls with no boundary confinement that are principal structural members of high0rise bearing wall buildings. 1/3 scale specimens that model the plastic region of long slender shear walls subjected to combined axial load and bending moment were tested to investigate strength, ductility, capacity of energy dissipation, and strain distribution, The experimental results show that the slender shear walls fail due to early crushing in the compressive boundary, and then have very low ductility. The measured maximum compressive strain is 0.0021, much less than 0.004 being commonly used for estimation of ductility. This result indicates that the maximum compressive strain is not a fixed value but is affected by moment gradient along the shear wall height and distance from the neutral axis to the extreme compressive fiber.

The important dynamic specifications in the aluminum automobile body design are the vibrations and crashworthiness in the views of ride comforts and safety. Thus, considerable effort has been invested into improving the performance of mechanical structures comprised of the interactive multiple sub-structures. Most mechanical structures are complex and are essentially multi-criteria optimization problems with objective functions retained as constraints. Each weight factor can be defined according to the effects and priorities among objective functions, and a feasible Pareto-optimal solution exists for the criteria-defined constraints. In this paper, a multi-criteria design based on the Pareto-optimal sensitivity is applied to the vibration qualities and crushing characteristics of front structure in the automobile body design. The vibration qualities include the idle, wheel unbalance and road shake. The crushing characteristic of front structure is the axial maximum peak load.

Six reinforced concrete shear wall, constructured with fully rigid, slit, and infilled types, were tested under both vertical and cyclic loadings. Experimental programs were carried out to evaluate the seismic performance of such test specimens, such as the hysteretic behavior, the maximum horizontal strength, crack propagation, and ductility, under load reversals. All the specimens were modeled in one-third scale size. Based on the test results, the following conclusions can be made. For the diagonal reinforced slit and infilled shear wall specimens, it was found that the failure mode shows very effective crack control and crushing due to slippage prevention of boundary region and reduction of diagonal tension rathar than the brittle shear and diagonal tension failure. The ductility of specimens designed by the diagonal reinforcement for the slit and infilled shear wall was increased 1.72~1.81 times in comparison with the fully rigid shear wall frame. Maximum horizontal load-carrying capacity of specimens designed by the diagonal reinforcement ratio the slit and infilled shear wall was increased respectively by l.14 times and l.49 times in comparison with the standard fully rigid shear wall frame.

고밀도 폐유리가 콘크리트를 포함하는 건설 재료로 사용 가능함이 밝혀짐에 따라 본 연구에서는 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 적용한 RC 부재의 구조적 거동을 평가하고자 휨거동 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 비선형 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 사용하게 되면, 균열 개수가 감소하고 균열 간격 및 압괴 면적이 증가하였다. 또한, 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 대체한 부재는 높은 처짐 단계에서 연성이 감소되었다. 이러한 이유로 천연골재를 사용한 부재와 동일한 방법의 해석 기법은 고밀도 폐유리를 잔골재로 대체한 부재의 휨거동에 대한 초기강성, 항복하중 및 최대하중을 제대로 예측하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으나, 압괴 진전에 따른 중립축 깊이가 감소하는 것을 해석적으로 구현하게 되면, 비선형 유한요소 해석 결과가 실험결과를 비교적 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

Structural behavior of R/C deep beams was investigated and compared to those of specimens with CFRP Grids. Test results show that the crushing of compression strut for the unstrengthened R/C deep beams is changed to the group of several diagonal cracks at mid-depth within the sheat span. Strengthened specimens grow to be more ductile after the redistribution of internal force on the CFRP Grids. The failure mode and variations of strains in the specimens are dependent on the shear span-to-depth ratio. The lower the shear span-to-depth ratio, the bigger failure load and the less variations in strain are observed. Additional anchorage of CFRP Grids does not only cause the improvement in the internal resistance, but also control the brittle shear failure of specimen after reaching the maximum loads.
