Multi-axial compression tests have been frequently adopted for the evaluation of material properties of rock cores and rock fracture model tests. Special care has to be applied on the boundary condition between the specimen and loading platen to draw the precise test results of the multi-axial compression tests. With the use of dry steel platen, the stress rotation will occur, due to the frictional restraint from the boundary between the specimen and loading platen. The restraint will deviate the expected test results under the conditions of the given external pressures. Various methods have been applied to reduce the side restraint along the specimen/loading platen interface. The steel brush type loading platen is one example of the attempts. In this paper, a new type of loading platen is introduced to overcome the limitation caused by the use of the brush type loading platen, which requires some internal space for the installation of the brushes. The new type of loading platen, roller supported steel piston type loading platen. is constituted of shot steel pistons which have sufficient stiffness to deliver the external pressure and the shaft type roller installed at the rear of the pistons. The pistons are designed to follow the local deformation of the specimens. In this paper, structural details of the loading platen are presented and frictional and biaxial compression tests results are shown to verify the required functions of the loading platen. Furthermore, calibration process is followed by a comparison between the test results and numerical analyses.

This paper is reporting the whole process of developing a weight measuring scaler of truck and trailer system for static and dynamic condition. The sensors attached on the top of springs each wheels. Acquisition and data processing performs accurate data extraction from noise environment, filtering and estimation. Weight information was highly distorted with noise and perturbation. Hence the perturbation was classified several categories and evaluated for accurate signal extract. The final products supply accurate and easy readable data of load weight for truck. It supplies total weight as well as loading condition of each axle. It is expected that it give the information to the truck operator of proper amount loading and safe condition to drive with it.

Many researches about the contacts between cam and follower have investigated EHL film thickness either without dynamic loading effect or only with curve fitting formula such as Dowson-Hamrock's, because including squeeze film effect makes it hard to obtain convergence and stability of computation. Therefore, inaccurate information about minimum film thickness without dynamic loading condition causes inappropriate design of cam profiles and wrong selection of cam and follower materials. In this work, computation tools both for kinematics and dynamics of valve train system of push-rod type and for fluid film thickness with elastic deformation on the basis of dynamic loading condition with multigrid multi-level method is developed. The computational results of minimum film thickness with the respects of both static and dynamic loading conditions are compared for the contact of flat follower over the entire cycle.

The purpose of this study is to calculate and propose rational multi-lane loading factors for bridge design considering the probability of simultaneous truck passing in adjacent lanes and real truck weights. The probability of simultaneous truck passing is calculated by analyzing video image taken at various locations in highways and national roads. Weigh-In-Motion system data at two locations are used, which is combined with the probability of multiple presence to calculate the multi-lane loading factors for typical 2 lane and 5 lane bridges. Statistical properties of multi-lane loading factors are also calculated assuming that locations for video images and WIM data represent the overall traffic condition in the country. Results are compared with various design codes in the world and they show that the values are between the current Korea Bridge Design Code and AASHTO LRFD specification or Eurocode and are similar to Canadian Code.

Numerical analyses were performed to analyze the behavior of a suction pile under lateral loads with different soil layer conditions (uniform clay layer, uniform sand layer, and multi layers consisting of clay and sand layers) and different loading locations (top, middle, and bottom of the suction pile). The results of the analyses revealed that, regardless of the soil layer conditions, the lateral resistances at the loading location of the middle of the suction pile were the maximum. For the given loading locations, the lateral resistances of the suction pile for the uniform sand layer were relatively higher than those for the multi layer. By analyzing translations and rotations of the suction pile, it was identified that the amount of translation was highly dependent on both the soil layer condition and the lateral loading location while the rotated angle varied significantly with the lateral loading location, but not much with soil layer condition.

The multi-group diffusion theory is applied to the analysis of the currently constructing Kori reactor core which is to be refuelled by 3-region fuel loading pattern and also to the comparative study on a conceptually designed 5-region reactor core, under the condition that, apart from the thermal-hydraulic considerations, all the input data referred to here in are assumed to be identical for both cases. The numerical calculation is carried out for quantitative analysis of the characteristics of the two fuel loading patterns in details, and the calculated results show that, so far as the nuclear aspects are concerned, the characteristics of the 5-region reactor core are proved to be superior to those of Kori's 3-region reactor core in general.

Multi-axial compression tests have been frequently conducted to evaluate the in situ properties of rock masses and the mechanical behaviors of rock strata through the model tests. Without the proper boundary condition for the model tests, the mechanical behavior of rock mass would deviate, as can be expected, from the in situ conditions. The boundary condition will affect the internal stress distribution of the specimens and cause some distortion on the measurement. In this study, a design process regarding the steel brush, which has been employed for multi-axial compression test to reduce the frictional restraint along the specimen/loading platen interface, is introduced. The individual brushes are regarded as a simple column and beam to calculate the cross-sectional size and length of the brushes in consideration of the buckling capacity and the allowable deflection.

The paper describes the formulation of state matrix equations from the linearized multi-machine power system including network dynamics and the application of IEEE First Benchmark Model. The eigenvalues of IEEE First Benchmark Model are investigated not only by changing the compensation of series capacitance at no-load conditions, but also by varying the generator loading at fixed compensation of capacitance. In addition, the pure electrical self-excited mode is also examined by an eigen analysis and time domain simulation.

This paper presents a numerical investigation on kerosene-air mixture detonation and behaviors of thermal elasto-plstic thin metal tube under detonation loading based on multi-material analysis. The detonation loading is modeled by the kerosene-air mixture detonation which is compared with CJ condition and experimental cell size. And the thermal softening effect on elasto-plstic model of metal tube is indicated by different dynamic response of detonation loaded tube in various temperature and tube thickness.
