For the purpose of investigating the subjective symptom of industrial fatigue, a questionnaire survey was carried out on 282 labor workers and 189 managerial workers who were employed at the manufacture of electronic products in two small scale industries. Checklist of industrial fatigue was composed of physical symptoms(10 items), mental symptoms(10 items), and sensory neurotic symptoms(10 items). The results were as follows : 1. Complain rate of fatigue was the highest in "eye strain" of physical symptom, "feel anxious about things" of mental symptom, and "feel stiffness in the neck or the shoulders" of sensory neurotic symptom in labor workers and managerial workers. 2. Managerial workers demonstrated II dominant type (mental or night work type), while labor workers demonstrated I dominant type of fatigue (general type). 3. Mean weighted score of fatigue complaints in labor workers (23.16) was significantly higher than that in managerial workers (20.34). 4. Mean weighted scores of fatigue complaints in male, 5~9 years of work duration, married, 4~5 hours of sleeping time, graduation of high school and college, and large of workload were significantly higher in labor workers than in managerial workers. 5. In poor work condition with temperature, ventilation, illumination and noise, the average weighted score was significantly higher in labor workers than in managerial workers.

This study introduces a novel approach for locating damage in a structure using wireless sensor system with local level computational capability to alleviate data traffic load on the centralized computation. Smart wireless sensor systems, capable of iterative damage-searching, mimic an optimization process in a decentralized way. The proposed algorithm tries to detect damage in a structure by monitoring abnormal increases in strain measurements from a group of wireless sensors. Initially, this clustering technique provides a reasonably effective sensor placement within a structure. Sensor clustering also assigns a certain number of master sensors in each cluster so that they can constantly monitor the structural health of a structure. By adopting a voting system, a group of wireless sensors iteratively forages for a damage location as they can be activated as needed. Since all of the damage searching process occurs within a small group of wireless sensors, no global control or data traffic to a central system is required. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the newly developed searching algorithm implemented on wireless sensors successfully localizes stiffness damage in a plate through the local level reconfigurable function of smart sensors.

The use of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement as a rapid-hardening cement admixture or eco-friendly alternate for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) has been attempted over the years, but the cost of CSA cement and availability of suitable aluminium resource prevent its wide practical application. To propose an effective ground improvement design in sandy soil, this study aims at blending a certain percentage of CSA with OPC to find an optimum blend that would have fast-setting behavior with a lower carbon footprint than OPC without compromising the mechanical properties of the cemented sand. Compared to the 100% CSA case, initial speed of strength development of blended cement is relatively low as it is mixed with OPC. It is found that 80% OPC and 20% CSA blend has low initial strength but eventually produces equivalent ultimate strength (28 days curing) to that of CSA treated sand. The specific OPC-CSA blend (80:20) exhibits significantly higher strength gain than using pure OPC, thus allowing effective geotechnical designs for sustainable and controlled ground improvement. Further parametric studies were conducted for the blended cement under various curing conditions, cement contents, and curing times. Wet-cured cement treated sand had 33% lower strength than that of dry-cured samples, while the stiffness of wet-cured samples was 25% lower than that of dry-cured samples.

비내진상세 골조는 낮은 횡저항성을 가지고 있어 큰 변형을 경험하게 되는 반면, 벽체는 높은 강성으로 인해 낮은 변형에서도 전단에 의해 파괴된다. 따라서 이러한 골조와 벽체가 동시에 거동할 경우 발생하는 거동 특성은 개개 부재에서의 거동특성과 매우 다르게 된다. 본 연구에서는 끼움벽에 노치를 둘 경우 내진거동특성을 평가하고자 배근상세를 변수로 하였다. 이 때 노치로 인해 벽체 중앙부에 손상이 집중되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 변형경화형 시멘트 복합체(SHCC)를 사용하였다. 실험결과, SHCC 끼움벽은 다수의 미세균열을 형성하였으나, 대각보강근을 갖는 PIW-ND 실험체가 PIW-NC 실험체에 비해 낮은 변형능력, 강성 및 에너지소산능력을 보였다.

토목구조물의 동적해석 뿐아니라 공용상태 구조물 기초의 변형해석을 위해서는 지반의 신뢰성 있는 비선형 변형특성 평가가 매우 중요하다. 변형특성 평가를 위한 현장시험으로는 저변형률 하에서 지반의 탄성계수를 결정할 수 있는 크로스흘시험이나 중간변형률 영역에서 변형률 크기에 따른 탄성계수 결정이 가능한 공내재하시험이 사용되나 전 변형률 영역에서의 탄성계수 변화를 측정하지 못하고,,하중주파수의 영향,구속압의 영향 등을 엄밀히 평가하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 공진주/비틂전단시험과 같은 실내시험에서는 저변형률 및 중간변형률을 포함하는 전변형률 영역에서의 탄성계수 측정이 가능하나 불교란시료의 채취와 시료의 대표성 확보가 매우 어려운 단점이 있다. 따라서 보다 엄밀한 현장지반의 변형률 크기에 따른 탄성계수 결정을 위하여는 각각의 실내시험과 현장시험에서의 신뢰성 있는 변형률 측정범위, 작용되는 응력의 크기, 시험이 수행되는 하중주파수 차이 등을 효과적으로 결합하여 사용하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 지반의 비선형 변형특성을 현장 및 실내시험 결과를 효과적으로 결합하여 사용하는 방법을 제시하고, 화강풍화토 지반에서 현장시험으로 크로스흘과 공내재하시험을, 실내시험으로는 공진주/비틂 전단시험을 수행하여 현장지반의 변형특성을 결정하고, 각 시험법들의 장.단점과 신뢰성 있는 시험범위를 검토하였다. 마지막으로, 현장지반의 비선형 변형특성 평가 절차를 제시하였다.

미고결 이암은 쉽게 풍화되어 고결도 및 강도가 급속히 감소하는 성질을 가지고 있어 사면 붕괴 등의 문제를 일으킬 수 있고, 외관상으로는 단단한 암반으로 보이는 경우가 많아 지질조사 시 착각하기가 쉽다. 따라서 이암지반에서의 구조물 설계 시 이암 암반층에 강우가 흡수되어 변화하는 공학적 특성을 이해하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경기도 여주지역 일대의 사면 절토 현장에서 채취한 자연 상태의 미고결 이암 시료를 대상으로 공학적 특성을 파악하기 위한 실내 시험을 수행하였다. 자연 상태의 미고결 이암 시료의 기본적인 성질을 파악하기 위한 기본 물성 실험, 변형 특성을 확인하기 위해 슬레이크 내구성지수 결정 시험과 흡수팽창 지수 결정 시험을 수행하고, 슬레이크 사이클 횟수에 따라 전자 주사 현미경(SEM) 촬영을 통하여 시료표면의 변형을 관찰하였다. 이와 더불어 미고결 이암의 전체 변형률 영역에서 물에 대한 영향을 살펴보기 위해서 직접전단시험, 공진주시험을 수행하였다. 함수비의 증가에 따른 역학적 변화를 확인할 수 있었으며, 따라서 미고결 이암이 넓게 분포하는 지역에서는 강우 유입에 따라 강도저하 및 변형이 발생할 수 있으므로 구조물 설계 시에 각별한 주의가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

This paper focuses on the study of complete dynamic modeling and maximum dynamic load carrying capacity computation of N-flexible links and N-flexible joints mobile manipulator undergoing large deformation. Nonlinear dynamic analysis relies on the Timoshenko theory of beams. In order to model the system completely and precisely, structural and joint flexibility, nonlinear strain-displacement relationship, payload, and non-holonomic constraints will be considered to. A finite element solution method based on mixed method is applied to model the shear deformation. This procedure is considerably more involved than displacement based element and shear deformation can be readily included without inducing the shear locking in the element. Another goal of this paper is to present a computational procedure for determination of the maximum dynamic load of geometrically nonlinear manipulators with structural and joint flexibility. An effective measure named as Moment-Height Stability (MHS) measure is applied to consider the dynamic stability of a wheeled mobile manipulator. Simulations are performed for mobile base manipulator with two flexible links and joints. The results represent that dynamic stability constraint is sensitive when calculating the maximum carrying load. Furthermore, by changing the trajectory of end effector, allowable load also changes. The effect of torsional spring parameter on the joint deformation is investigated in a parametric sensitivity study. The findings show that, by the increase of torsional stiffness, the behavior of system approaches to a system with rigid joints and allowable load of robot is also enhanced. A comparison is also made between the results obtained from small and large deformation models. Fluctuation range in obtained figures for angular displacement of links and end effector path is bigger for large deformation model. Experimental results are also provided to validate the theoretical model and these have good agreement with the simulated results.

The novel form of composite walling system consists of two skins of profiled steel sheeting with an in-fill of concrete. The behaviour of such walling under in-plane shear is important in order to utilise this system as shear elements in a steel framed building. Steel sheet-concrete interface governs composite action, overall behaviour and failure modes of such walls. This paper describes the finite element (FE) modelling of the shear behaviour of walls with particular emphasis on the simulation of steel-concrete interface. The modelling of complex non-linear steel-concrete interaction in composite walls is conducted by using different FE models. Four FE models are developed and characterized by their approaches to simulate steel-concrete interface behaviour allowing either full or partial composite action. Non-linear interface or joint elements are introduced between steel and concrete to simulate partial composite action that allows steel-concrete in-plane slip or out of plane separation. The properties of such interface/joint elements are optimised through extensive parametric FE analysis using experimental results to achieve reliable and accurate simulation of actual steel-concrete interaction in a wall. The performance of developed FE models is validated through small-scale model tests. FE models are found to simulate strength, stiffness and strain characteristics reasonably well. The performance of a model with joint elements connecting steel and concrete layers is found better than full composite (without interface or joint elements) and other models with interface elements. The proposed FE model can be used to simulate the shear behaviour of composite walls in practical situation.

The aim of this study was to develop a new efficient strategy that uses the Vector form Intrinsic Finite-element (VFIFE) method to conduct the static and dynamic analyses of marine pipes. Nonlinear problems, such as large displacement, small strain, and contact and collision, can be analyzed using a unified calculation process in the VFIFE method according to the fundamental theories of point value description, path element, and reverse motion. This method enables analysis without the need to integrate the stiffness matrix of the structure, because only motion equations of particles established according to Newton's second law are required. These characteristics of the VFIFE facilitate the modeling and computation efficiencies in analyzing the nonlinear dynamic problem of flexible pipe with large deflections. In this study, a three-dimensional (3-D) dynamical model based on 3-D beam element was established according to the VFIFE method. The deep-sea flexible pipe was described by a set of spatial mass particles linked by 3-D beam element. The motion and configuration of the pipe are determined by these spatial particles. Based on this model, a simulation procedure to predict the 3-D dynamical behavior of flexible pipe was developed and verified. It was found that the spatial configuration and static internal force of the mining pipe can be obtained by calculating the stationary state of pipe motion. Using this simulation procedure, an analysis was conducted on the static and dynamic behaviors of the flexible mining pipe based on a 1000-m sea trial system. The results of the analysis proved that the VFIFE method can be efficiently applied to the static and dynamic analyses of marine pipes.
