A two-dimensional particle flow cod (PFC) is used to study the effect of missile impact on the concrete target. For this purpose firstly calibration of numerical model was performed so that tensile strength of numerical models and experimental sample were the same. Secondly, a concrete model was built. The number of concrete layers and the angle of concrete layers related to horizontal axis were changed. Their numbers were 1, 2, 3 and 4. The angles were 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°. A semi-circle missile was simulated at top of the concrete layers. Its velocity in opposite side of Y direction was 100 m/s. three measuring circles were situated at the below the missile in the model to receive the applied force. The load in the missile and measuring circles together with failure pattern were registered at the beginning of the impaction. The results show that concrete layers number and concrete layers angle have important effect on the failure load while the failure pattern was nearly constant in all of the models.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of elbow joint angle on mechanical properties, as represented by ultimate load, failure strain and elastic modulus, of bone-tendon specimens of common extensor tendon of the humeral epicondyle. Eight pairs of specimens were equally divided into two groups of 8 each, which selected arbitrarily from left or right side of each pair, positioned at 45$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ of elbow flexion and subjected to tension to failure in the physiological direction of the common extensor tendon. For comparison of the differences in the failure and elastic modulus between tendon and the bone-junction, data for both were evaluated individually. Significant reduction in ultimate load of bone-tendon specimens was shown to occur at 45$^{\circ}$. The values obtained from the bone-tendon junctions with regard to the failure strain were significant higher than those from tendon in both loading directions, but the largest failure strain at the bone-tendon junction was found at 45$^{\circ}$. The elastic modulus was found to decrease significantly at the bone-tendon junction when the loading direction switched from 90$^{\circ}$ to 45$^{\circ}$. Histological observation, after mechanical tensile tests, in both loading directions showed that failure occurred at the interface between tendon and uncalcified fibrocartilage in the thinnest fibrocartilage zone of the bone-tendon junction. We concluded that differences in measured mechanical properties are a consequence of varying the loading direction of the tendon across the bone-tendon specimen.

Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) is a typical flow-structure interference phenomenon which causes an unsteady flow pattern due to vortex shedding at or near the structure's natural frequency leading to resonant vibrations. VIV may cause premature fatigue failure of marine risers and pipelines. A test model was carried out to investigate the role of a stationary fairing by varying the caudal horn angle to suppress riser VIV taking into account the effect of wake interference. The test results show significant reduction of VIV for risers disposed in tandem and side-by-side. In general, fairing with a caudal horn of $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ are efficient in quelling VIV in risers. The results also reveal fairing can reduce the drag load of risers arranged side-by-side. For the tandem configuration, a fairing can reduce the drag load of an upstream riser, but will enlarge the drag force of the downstream riser.

The coal wall, gob-side backfill, and gangues in goaf, constitute the support system for Gob-side entry retaining (GER) in coal mines. Reasonably allocating and utilizing their bearing capacities are key scientific and technical issues for the safety and economic benefits of the GER technology. At first, a mechanical model of GER was established and a governing equation for coordinated bearing of the coal-backfill-gangue support system was derived to reveal the coordinated bearing mechanism. Then, considering the bearing characteristics of the coal wall, gob-side backfill and gangues in goaf, their quantitative design methods were proposed, respectively. Next, taking the No. 2201 haulage roadway serving the No. 7 coal seam in Jiangjiawan Mine, China, as an example, the design calculations showed that the strains of both the coal wall and gob-side backfill were larger than their allowable strains and the rotational angle of the lateral main roof was larger than its allowable rotational angle. Finally, flexible-rigid composite supporting technology and roof cutting technology were designed and used. In situ investigations showed that the deformation and failure of surrounding rocks were well controlled and both the coal wall and gob-side backfill remained stable. Taking the coal wall, gob-side backfill and gangues in goaf as a whole system, this research takes full consideration of their bearing properties and provides a quantitative basis for design of the support system.

In order to study the influence of loading angles on seismic performance of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) special-shaped columns, cyclic loading tests and finite element analysis (FEA) were both carried out. Seven SRC special-shaped columns, including two L-shaped columns, three T-shaped columns and two cross-shaped columns, were tested, and the failure patterns of the columns with different loading angles were obtained. Based on the tests, the FEA models of SRC special-shaped columns with different loading angles were established. According to the simulation results, hysteretic curves and seismic performance indexes, including bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity, were analyzed in detail. The results showed that the failure patterns were different for the columns with the same section and different loading angles. With the increasing of loading angles, the hysteretic curves became fuller and the bearing capacity and initial stiffness appeared increasing tendency, but the energy dissipation capacity changed insignificantly. When the loading angle changed, the ductility got better with the larger area of steel at the failure side for the unsymmetrical section and near the neutral axis for the symmetrical section, respectively.

Deformation of rock masses is not only related to rock itself, but also related to discontinuities, the latter maybe greater. Study on crack propagation at discontinuities is important to reveal the damage law of rock masses. DDARF is a discontinuous deformation analysis method for rock failure and some modified algorithms are proposed in this study. Firstly, coupled modeling methods of AutoCAD-DDARF and ANSYS-DDARF are introduced, which could improve the modeling efficiency of DDARF compared to its original program. Secondly, a convergence criterion for automatically judging the computation equilibrium is established, it could overcome subjective drawbacks of ending one calculation by time steps. Lastly but not the least, relationship between the super relaxation factor and the calculation convergence is analyzed, and reasonable value range of the super relaxation factor is obtained. Based on these above modified programs, influences on crack propagation of joint angle, joint parameters and geo-stresses' side pressure are studied.

An advancing cutting roof for gob-side entry retaining with no-pillar mining under specific geological conditions is more conducive to the safe and efficient production in a coalmine. This method is being promoted for use in a large number of coalmines because it has many advantages compared to the retaining method with an artificial filling wall as the gateway side filling body. In order to observe the inner structure of the gateway cutting roof and understand its stability mechanism, an equivalent material simulation experiment for a coalmine with complex geological conditions was carried out in this study. The results show that a "self-stabilization bearing structure" equilibrium model was found after the cutting roof caving when the cut line deviation angle was unequal to zero and the cut height was greater than the mining height, and the caving roof rock was hard without damage. The model showed that its stability was mainly controlled by two key blocks. Furthermore, in order to determine the optimal parameters of the cut height and the cut line deviation angle for the cutting roof of the retaining gateway, an in-depth analysis with theoretical mechanics and mine rock mechanics of the model was performed, and the relationship between the roof balance control force and the cut height and cut line deviation angle was solved. It was found that the selection of the values of the cut height and the cut line deviation angle had to conform to a certain principle that it should not only utilize the support force provided by the coal wall and the contact surface of the two key blocks but also prevent the failure of the coal wall and the contact surface.

동토지역에서의 파이프라인 시공 시 계절변화와 그에 따른 지반의 강도변화가 트렌치의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 영국, 러시아, 국내 파이프라인 기준들을 분석하여 직경 30in. 파이프의 트렌치 형상을 도출하였다. 러시아 야쿠츠크(Yakutsk) 지역의 계절별 지반조건에서 횡방향 사면경사($0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$)와 종방향 사면경사($20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $40^{\circ}$)에 따른 트렌치의 안정성을 분석하였다. 강도감소법을 이용하여 트렌치와 사면의 안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 사면의 경사가 높을수록 안전율이 낮게 나왔으며 여름철 지반조건에서는 횡방향 사면경사가 $30^{\circ}$일 때 트렌치의 안정성을 확보하기 어려우며 지상으로부터 1m 아래에서 예상 파괴면을 확인하였다. 종방향 사면의 경사가 낮을 때에는 트렌치 부근의 파괴가 일어날 가능성이 높았지만 종방향 사면의 경사가 높을 때에는 트렌치 부근의 파괴 보다는 사면 전체의 파괴가 주를 이루는 것으로 분석되었다. 겨울철 지반조건에서는 지표면의 온도가 영하로 내려가서 지반 공극 내 얼음 발생으로 인하여 점착력이 발생되는 효과가 있어, 특수한 외부 하중이나 급격한 온도변화가 없을 경우에는 트렌치 사면 경사 $0{\sim}40^{\circ}$에서 안전성의 문제는 없을 것으로 판단되었다.
