The present paper investigates the curvature ductility of confined reinforced concrete (RC) beams with normal (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). For the purpose of predicting the curvature ductility factor, an analytical model was developed based on the equilibrium of internal forces of confined concrete and reinforcement. In this context, the curvatures were calculated at first yielding of tension reinforcement and at ultimate when the confined concrete strain reaches the ultimate value. To best simulate the situation of confined RC beams in flexure, a modified version of an ancient confined concrete model was adopted for this study. In order to show the accuracy of the proposed model, an experimental database was collected from the literature. The statistical comparison between experimental and predicted results showed that the proposed model has a good performance. Then, the data generated from the validated theoretical model were used to train the artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model. The R² values for theoretical and experimental results are equal to 0.98 and 0.95, respectively which proves the high performance of the ANN model. Finally, a parametric study was implemented to analyze the effect of different parameters on the curvature ductility factor using theoretical and ANN models. The results are similar to those extracted from experiments, where the concrete strength, the compression reinforcement ratio, the yield strength, and the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement have a positive effect. In contrast, the ratio and the yield strength of tension reinforcement have a negative effect.

본 연구에서는 이론적 배경을 토대로 사행 하천의 만곡부에 적용하기 용이한 횡분산계수 경험공식을 새롭게 제안하였다. 차원해석을 통한 독립변수들의 선정 대신 이론식을 기반으로 독립변수들과 그들의 함수형태를 우선 결정하였다. 결정된 함수식에서 매개변수를 골라내고 이를 고정하는 대신 회귀계수로 전환하여 실제 하천 만곡부에 적합한 경험식을 비선형회귀분석을 통해 제안하였다. 기존의 횡분산계수식들과 비교해 보면 본 연구에서 개발된 식이 관측 분산계수와 대체적으로 일치하는 경향을 보였다. 개발된 식의 특징을 살펴보면 마찰항에 대한 민감도가 상대적으로 적어 조도가 작은 하천에도 적용하기에 무리가 없어 보인다. 또한 개발된 식은 수심 대비 사행반경의 비가 큰 경우에도 기존의 추정식처럼 이상치를 나타낼 우려가 없어 만곡이 심한 사행하천에 적용하기 적합하다.

CFRP composite materials have wide application in structure materials of airplane, ships, and aero space vehicles because of their high strength and stiffness. This paper is to study the effects of curvature and orientation angle on the penetration characteristics of CFRP laminate shell. They are staked with 8 Ply specimens [0$_2$/90$_2$]$_{s}$, [0/90$_2$/0]$_{s}$ and the stacked of outer plates degree with 12 Ply specimens [0$_3$/90$_3$]$_{s}$, [0$_2$/90$_2$/0]$_{s}$ and [90$_3$/0$_3$], [90$_2$/0$_2$/90]S. They are manufactured to varied curvature radius (R=100,150,200mm and $\infty$). They are cured by heating to the appropriate harding temperature(13$0^{\circ}C$) by mean of a heater at the vaccum bag of the autoclave. Test specimens were prepared with dimensions 100mm$\times$140mm. When the specimen is subjected to transverse impact by a steel ball, the velocity of the steel ball was measured both before and after impact by determining the time for it to pass two ballistic-screen sensor located a known distance apart. In general, kinetic energy after impact-kinetic energy before impact rised in all specimens. This study observed a fracture mode inside the specimen after a penetration test using a digital camera and it examined a fracture mode and a penetration mode to stack of outer orientation angle and curvature.rvature.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the midfacial soft tissue changes following maxillary expansion using micro-implant-supported maxillary skeletal expanders (MSEs) in young adults by cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) and to evaluate the correlations between hard and soft tissue changes after MSE usage. Methods: Twenty patients (mean age, 22.4 years; range, 17.6-27.1) with maxillary transverse deficiency treated with MSEs were selected. Mean expansion amount was 6.5 mm. CBCT images taken before and after expansion were superimposed to measure the changes in soft and hard tissue landmarks. Statistical analyses were performed using paired t-test and Pearson's correlation analysis on the basis of the normality of data. Results: Average lateral movement of the cheek points was 1.35 mm (right) and 1.08 mm (left), and that of the alar curvature points was 1.03 mm (right) and 1.02 mm (left). Average forward displacement of the cheek points was 0.59 mm (right) and 0.44 mm (left), and that of the alar curvature points was 0.61 mm (right) and 0.77 mm (left) (p < 0.05). Anterior nasal spine (ANS), posterior nasal spine (PNS), and alveolar bone width showed significant increments (p < 0.05). Changes in the cheek and alar curvature points on both sides significantly correlated with hard tissue changes (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Maxillary expansion using MSEs resulted in significant lateral and forward movements of the soft tissues of cheek and alar curvature points on both sides in young adults and correlated with the maxillary suture opening at the ANS and PNS.

의료용 디지털 영상 및 통신 표준과 3차원 의료 영상 프로그램을 이용하여 외이도의 해부학적 특징들을 비교하였다. 실험은 연령과 성별이 다른 63귀의 영상을 이용하여 외이도의 횡축 길이, 내부 직경 둘레, 상하부 굴곡 각도를 측정한 후 비교하였다. 실험 결과 외이도 형태는 연령과 성별 뿐 만 아니라 동일인의 좌.우 에서도 다르게 나타났다. 성별 비교에서 남자 35귀, 여자 28귀에 대한 평균 길이는 남자가 4.75mm 길게 나타났다. 외이도 직경 둘레는 하부 굴곡 각도를 중심으로 내측이 외측 보다 평균 37.2% 감소된 형태로 나타났다. 상하부 굴곡 각도는 상부가 평균적으로 $25.7^{\circ}$ 높았으나 4귀에서 하부 각도가 높고, 연령이 낮은(4~14세) 8귀에서 상하부 굴곡 각도 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 성장하면서 외이도 굴곡 모양이 변화됨을 나타냈다. 본 연구는 기존 귀본 채취를 통한 간접 측정과 물리적 방법에 의한 직접 측정과 비교하여 안전성과 정밀성을 높일 수 있는 방법이다. 이는 3차원 의료 영상 표현 기술이 실제에 가깝게 표현할 수 있는 기술 향상 때문이며 더 발전하여 외이도 형태의 표준화 연구에도 활용될 수 있는 측정 방법이라 판단된다.

One of the most common strategies for retrofitting as-built reinforced concrete (RC) columns is to enlarge the existing section through the application of a new concrete layer reinforced by both steel transverse and longitudinal reinforcements. The present study was dedicated to developing a comprehensive model to predict the seismic behavior of as-built RC jacketed columns. For this purpose, a new sectional model was developed to perform moment-curvature analysis coupled by the plastic hinge method. In this analysis-oriented model, new methodologies were suggested to address the impacts of axial, flexural and shear mechanisms, variable confining pressure, eccentric loading, longitudinal bar buckling, and varying axial load. To consider the effective interaction between core and jacket, the monolithic factor approach was adopted to extent the response of the monolithic columns to that of a respective RC jacket strengthened column. Next, parametric studies were implemented to examine the effectiveness of the main parameters of the RC jacket strategy in retrofitting as-built RC columns. Ultimately, the reliability of the developed analytical model was validated against a series of experimental results of as-built and retrofitted RC columns.

This paper presents a numerical model developed to evaluate the load-deflection and moment-curvature relationship for concrete beams strengthened externally with four different Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite systems. The developed model considers the inelastic behavior of concrete section subjected to a combined axial force and bending moment. The model accounts for tensile strength of concrete as defined by the modulus of rupture of concrete. Based on the adopted material constitutive relations, the model evaluates the sectional curvature as a function of the applied axial load and bending moment. Deflections along the beam are evaluated using a finite difference technique taking into account support conditions. The developed numerical technique has been tested on a cantilever beam with a transverse load applied at its end. A study of the behavior of the beam with tension reinforcement compared to that with FRP areas giving an equivalent ultimate moment has been carried out. Moreover, cracking of the section in the tensile region at ultimate load has also been considered. The results indicated that beams reinforced with FRP systems possess more ductility than those reinforced with steel. This ductility, however, can be tuned by increasing the area of FRP or by combining different FRP layers.

For the effective manufacture of doubly curved metal plates, a line array roll set (LARS) process is proposed. The suggested process utilizes a pair of upper and lower symmetric roll assemblies. In the process, the initial plate is progressed into the final shape in a stepwise or pathwise manner according to the basic principle of the incremental forming process. The deformation proceeds simultaneously in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Moreover, there is a close correlation between the deformation in the longitudinal direction and that in the transverse direction of the plates. Therefore, the finally formed shape in the incremental forming process is strongly dependent upon process conditions, such as the forming path and the forming increment. The manufacturing of arbitrary doubly curved plates with various curvatures is not an easy task because of such complicated behaviors of the plate; thus, the forming schedules for the desired shape should be carefully and accurately designed. In this study, several experiments with the LARS system were carried out for the fundamental investigation on process design for manufacturing of doubly curved plates.

In this paper, an improved mathematical model is presented for the bending analysis of doubly curved functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich rhombic conoids. The mathematical model includes expansion of Taylor's series up to the third degree in thickness coordinate and normal curvatures in in-plane displacement fields. The condition of zero-transverse shear strain at upper and lower surface of rhombic conoids is implemented in the present model. The newly introduced feature in the present mathematical model is the simultaneous inclusion of normal curvatures in deformation field and twist curvature in strain-displacement equations. This unique introduction permits the new 2D mathematical model to solve problems of moderately thick and deep doubly curved FGM sandwich rhombic conoids. The distinguishing feature of present shell from the other shells is that maximum transverse deflection does not occur at its center. The proposed new mathematical model is implemented in finite element code written in FORTRAN. The obtained numerical results are compared with the results available in the literature. Once validated, the current model was employed to solve numerous bending problems by varying different parameters like volume fraction indices, skew angles, boundary conditions, thickness scheme, and several geometric parameters.
