The increased speed of a train causes increased loads that act on the track substructures. To ensure the safety of the track substructures, proper maintenance and repair are necessary based on an accurate characterization of strength and stiffness. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a cone penetrometer incorporated with the dynamic cone penetration method (CPD) for investigating track substructures. The CPD consists of an outer rod for dynamic penetration in the ballast layer and an inner rod with load cells for static penetration in the subgrade. Additionally, an energy-monitoring module composed of strain gauges and an accelerometer is connected to the head of the outer rod to measure the dynamic responses during the dynamic penetration. Moreover, eight strain gauges are installed in the load cells for static penetration to measure the cone tip resistance and the friction resistance during static penetration. To investigate the applicability of the developed CPD, laboratory and field tests are performed. The results of the CPD tests, i.e., profiles of the corrected dynamic cone penetration index (CDI), profiles of the cone tip and friction resistances, and the friction ratio are obtained at high resolution. Moreover, the maximum shear modulus of the subgrade is estimated using the relationships between the static penetration resistances and the maximum shear modulus obtained from the laboratory tests. This study suggests that the CPD test may be a useful method for the characterization of track substructures.

반복하중이나 동적하중에 대한 지반의 소성모델은 지반구조물의 비선형 수치해석에 매우 중요하다. 단일 항복면 모델은 반복하중에 대해 선형적 거동을 보이는 반면, 개발된 탄성영역이 없는 J₂-경계면 소성모델은 동일한 물성치로 효과적으로 지반의 비선형성을 모사할 수 있다. 경계면 내부 항복면의 반경을 0으로 수렴시켜 탄성영역이 사라지도록 수식화하고, 소성경화 계수과 팽창률을 이용하여 소성변형 증분을 정의하였다. 개발된 모델의 응력-변형률 증분식을 제시하고, 쌍곡선 모델에 대한 소성경화 계수를 유도하였다. 삼축압축조건과 얕은기초의 반복하중에 대한 비교해석은 개발된 모델의 안정적인 수렴성, 이론식과의 일치성, 그리고 이력경로을 보여 주었다. 또한, 수정된 쌍곡선함수에 대한 소성경화 계수를 제시하여, 1차원 등가선형모델에 부합하는 모델변수 산정법을 제안하여 지반의 다차원 거동을 모델링할 수 있도록 하였다.

교량기초의 지지층인 조밀한 화강풍화토 지반에서 얕은 기초의 침하에 대한 크기효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지반조건이 유사한 2개 현장에서 재하판 크기를 다르게 하여 평판재하시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 재하판 하부 및 주변 지반의 파괴는 관찰되지 않았으며 하중 증가에 따라 침하가 비례하여 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 대상지반에 지지되는 기초의 안정성 또는 사용성은 침하가 지배하는 것을 의미한다. 침하에 대한 기초크기 효과는 압력-침하곡선의 기울기로 표현되는 지반반력계수와 기초폭의 관계로 표현하였다. 기존에 제안된 관계식과 비교해 볼 때 본 실험결과는 크기효과가 더 크게 나타나며, 이는 기존에 제안된 관계식은 조밀한 화강풍화토 지반에 지지된 기초의 침하를 과소평가할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

The compression-compression fatigue properties of the closed cell Al-Si-Ca alloy foams have been studied. The monotonic and cyclic compressive properties were compared with each other and the fatigue stress-life (S-N) curves were presented. In compression-compression fatigue, the crushing was found to initiate in a single band which broadens gradually with additional fatigue cycles. Progressive shortening of the specimen took place due to a combination of low cycle fatigue failure and cyclic ratcheting which is in accordance with the findings of previous researchers [1-3]. Young's modulus of the foam was found to decrease with the increasing strain in case of fatigue test however in case of monotonic compression test the value of Young's modulus increased with the strain (number of cycles). The endurance limit on the basis of $10^{7}$ cycles obtained by extrapolating the experimental results were 0.98 MPa and 1.70 MPa for load ratios 0.1 and 0.5 respectively which are 34 % and 59 % of the plateau stress.

안정처리된 도로 지반재료는 현장에서 환경적인 요인으로 인하여 내구성능은 여전히 구조적인 성능과 더불어 평가가 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 국내에서 대표적으로 활용하고 있는 기층과 노상재료를 활용하여 다양한 안정제 종류와 함유량을 달리하여 공시체를 제작하였고 동결-융해 및 습윤-건조하여 여러 조건의 반복재하 회복탄성계수시험을 실시하여 내구성능 및 특성을 파악하였다. 또한 결과에 기초하여 안정처리된 지반재료에 대한 회복탄성계수 예측모델을 살펴보고 모델계수의 범위를 평가후 문헌의 자료와 비교하였다.

A winding bend rig for measurement of springback ratio is made. It measures the bending angles before and after release of bending load which bends specimens with keeping a constant curvature. Thus the springback ratio can be obtained by using this bend rig. Analytical explanations for the spring back are tried by employing simple beam theory. For the analytical calculations with the theory, Young's modulus, fracture strain and stress-strain curve are necessary and these data are obtained from a tensile test. Using both of the beam theory and the results of tensile test, the springback ratio is also calculated. Comparisons of the two springback ratios, one is obtained from bending test and the other from tensile test, show a good agreement.

일반적으로 도로 포장체 영구변형의 해석은, 먼저 포장체를 층이 진 탄성체로 가정하고 회복탄성계수를 통해 포장체의 회복변형률을 계산하고, 이로부터 다시 실내시험을 통해 얻어진 방정식을 이용하여 영구변형률을 산정하게 된다. 회복탄성계수를 통하여 포장체 내의 응력을 산정할 경우, 포장 내 노상토 상부의 응력은 반복하중으로 인한 노상토의 영구변형 증가를 고려하지 않은 회복탄성계수로부터 결정되므로, 영구변형이 지반 및 포장체에 미치는 영향은 응력 산정 시에 고려되지 않는다. 또한, 토목섬유 등으로 보강된 포장체 등의 거동은 해석에 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 회복탄성계수를 사용하여 포장체의 탄성거동을 계산하는 방식과 달리 하중반복회수의 함수인 할선탄성계수를 사용하여 영구변형을 측정할 수 있도록 새로운 모델을 제안하고, 본 모델 적용과 모델계수 산정의 예를 보인다. 제안된 할선탄성계수를 통한 해석은 비포장 도로 상의 교통으로 인한 영구변형의 예측이나 아스팔트 포장 전 노상토나 기층상부에 가해지는 공사차량으로 인한 영구변형의 산정에 적용가능 할 것으로 판단한다.

Water affects the mechanical properties of coal and stress wave propagation. To comprehensively investigate the effect of water content on the properties of coal, laboratory tests including X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, P-wave test, S-wave test, static and dynamic compression test with different water contents were conducted. The compressive strength, elastic modulus and failure strain and their mechanism of coal specimen under coupled static-dynamic load with the increased water content were observed. Meanwhile, energy transmission and dissipation characteristics of a stress wave in coal specimens with different water contents under dynamic load and its relation with the failure features, such as fragmentation and fractal dimension, of coal was analyzed. Furthermore, the dynamic interpretation of water infusion to prevent coal burst based on water infusion model of coal seam roadway was provided.

This study was designed to investigate the mechanical properties of the coating layer on electronic galvanized sheet steel as a part of the ongoing research on the coated steel. Those properties were determined using nano-indentation, the finite element method, and artificial neural networks. First and foremost, the load-displacement curve (the loading-unloading curve) of coatings was derived from a nano-indentation test by CSM (continuous stiffness measurement) and was used to measure the elastic modulus and hardness of the coating layer. The properties derived were applied in FE simulations of a nano-indentation test, and the analytical results were compared with the experimental result. A numerical model for FE simulations was established for the coating layer and the substrate separately. Finally, to determine the mechanical properties of the coating, such as the stress-strain curve, functional equations of loading and unloading curves were introduced and computed using the neural networks method. The results show errors within $5\%$ in comparison with the load-displacement measured by a nano-indentation test.

PURPOSE. Impact forces in implant supported FDP (fixed dental prosthesis) are higher than that of tooth supported FDPs and the compositions used in frameworks also has a paramount role for biomechanical reasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of two different zirconia frameworks. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two implant abutments with 3.8 mm and 4.5 mm platform were used as premolar and molar. They were mounted vertically in an acrylic resin block. A model with steel retainers and removable abutments was fabricated by milling machine; and 10 FDP frameworks were fabricated for each Biodenta and Cercon systems. All samples were thermo-cycled for 2000 times in $5-55^{\circ}C$ temperature and embedded in $37^{\circ}C$ artificial saliva for one week. The flexural test was done by a rod with 2 mm ending diameter which was applied to the multi-electromechanical machine. The force was inserted until observing fracture. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS software ver.15, using Weibull modulus and independent t-test with the level of significance at ${\alpha}=.05$. RESULTS. The mean load bearing capacity values were higher in Biodenta but with no significant differences (P>.05). The Biodenta frameworks showed higher load bearing capacity ($F_0=1700$) than Cercon frameworks ($F_0=1520$) but the reliability (m) was higher in Cercon (m=7.5). CONCLUSION. There was no significant difference between flexural strengths of both zirconia based framework systems; and both Biodenta and Cercon systems are capable to withstand biting force (even parafunctions) in posterior implant-supported bridges with no significant differences.
