The aim of the present paper is to develop a computer program predicting ultimate fracture strength of initially cracked structure under monotonically increasing external loads. For this purpose, two kinds of 3-D isoparametric solid elements, one 6-node wedge element and another 8-node brick element are formulated along the small deformation theory. Plasticity in the element is checked using von Mises' yield criterion. Elasto-plastic stiffness matrix of the element is calculated taking account of strain hardening effect. If the principal strain at crack tip which is one nodal point exceeds the critical strain dependin on the material property, crack tip is supposed to be opened and the crack tip node which was previously constrained in the direction perpendicular to the crack line is released. After that, the crack lay be propagated to the adjacent node. Once a crack tip node is fractured, the energy of the newly fractured node should be released which is to be absorbed by the remaining part. The accumulated reaction force which was carried by the newly fractured node so far is then applied in the opposite direction. During the action of crack tip relief force, since unloading may be occured in the plastic element, unloading check should be made. If a plastic element unloads, elastic stress-strain equation is used in the calculation of the stiffness matrix of the element, while for a loading element, elasto-plastic stress-strain equation is continuously used. Verification of the computer program is made comparing with the experimental results for center cracked panel subjected to uniform tensile load. Also some factors affecting ultimate fracture strength of initially cracked plate are investigated. It is concluded that the computer program developed here gives an accurate solution and becomes useful tool for predicting ultimate fracture load of initially cracked structural system under monotonically increasing external loads.

본 연구의 목적은 풍하중 또는 지진하중 작용시 면외거동을 하는 구조물의 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 비보강 콘크리트 조적조 벽체의 휨인장강도를 평가 분석하는 것이다. 비보강 콘크리트 조적조 벽체의 휨인장강도는 실물 크기의 시험체에 대한 총 327개의 결과를 이용하였으며, 각각의 경우에 대한 휨인장강도의 통계값을 얻었다. 휨인장강도는 콘크리트 조적조 형태, 모르터 형태 및 등급, 인장응력 방향에 따라 13개 그룹으로 분류하였으며, 각각에 대한 평균휨인장강도와 변동계수를 구하였다. 휨인장강도를 구하기 위하여 벽체에 적용된 하중은 균일분포하중 및 집중하중 형태이며, 벽체가 균열될 때의 최대하중을 측정하여 휨응력공식으로 극한휨인장강도가 계산되었다. 평균휨인장강도는 콘크리트 조적조의 형태, 모르터의 형태 및 등급 등에 따라 1,564 kPa~363 kPa 범위로 분포한다. 이에 비하여 국내의 콘크리트블록 조적조 구조기준에서 허용휨인장응력은 모르터 등급 및 인장응력방향에 따라 294 kPa~74 kPa로 낮은 값을 고시하고 있다. 본 연구에서 평가 분석한 휨인장강도값은 국내 구조기준에서 고시한 값 보다 약 5배 정도 큰 값이므로 국내의 기준값은 상향 조정되어야할 것이다. 본 연 구에서 도출한 휨인장강도값을 토대로 국내에서 비보강 콘크리트 조적조 구조물에 적용할 수 있는 허용기준치를 모르터 등급 및 인장응력방향에 따라 추후 세부적으로 설정할 수 있을 것이다.

Two cases of design are performed for the hyperbolic paraboloid saddle shell (Lin-Scordelis saddle shell) and the hyperbolic cooling tower (Grand Gulf cooling tower) to check the design strength against a consistent design load, therefore to verify the adequacy of the design algorithm. An iterative numerical computational algorithm is developed for combined membrane and flexural forces, which is based on equilibrium consideration for the limit state of reinforcement and cracked concrete. The design algorithm is implemented in a finite element analysis computer program developed by Mahmoud and Gupta. The amount of reinforcement is then determined at the center of each element by an elastic finite element analysis with the design ultimate load. Based on ultimate nonlinear analyses performed with designed saddle shell, the analytically calculated ultimate load exceeded the design ultimate load from 7% to 34% for analyses with various magnitude of tension stiffening. For the cooling tower problem the calculated ultimate load exceeded the design ultimate load from 26% to 63% with similar types of analyses. Since the effective tension stiffening would vary over the life of the shells due to environmental factors, a degree of uncertainty seems inevitable in calculating the actual failure load by means of numerical analysis. Even though the ultimate loads are strongly dependent on the tensile properties of concrete, the calculated ultimate loads are higher than the design ultimate loads for both design cases. For the cases designed, the design algorithm gives a lower bound on the design ultimate load with respect to the lower bound theorem. This shows the adequacy of the design algorithm developed, at least for the shells studied. The presented design algorithm for the combined membrane and flexural forces can be evolved as a general design method for reinforced concrete plates and shells through further studies involving the performance of multiple designs and the analyses of differing shell configurations.

This study investigated the mechanical properties of precious metal-ceramic alloy joined by the laser-welding and the soldering compared with the parent metal. Twenty-four tensile specimens were cast in precious metal-ceramic alloy and divided into three groups of eight. All specimens in the control group(group 1) were left in the as-cast condition. Group 2 and 3 were the test specimens, which were sectioned at the center. Eight of sectioned specimens were joined by soldering with a propane-oxygen torch, and the remaining specimens were joined by laser-welding. After joining, each joint diameter was measured, and then tested to tensile failure on an Instron machine. Failure loads were recorded, and then fracture stress(ultimate tensile strength), 0.2% yield strength and % elongation calculated. These data for three groups were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA). Neuman-Keuls post hoc test was then used to determine any significant differences between groups. The fracture locations, fracture surfaces were examined by SEM(scanning electron microscope). The results were as follows: 1) The tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength of the soldered group($280.28{\pm}49.35MPa$, $160.24{\pm}26.67MPa$) were significantly less than both the as-cast group($410.99{\pm}13.07MPa$, $217.82{\pm}17.99MPa$) and the laser-welded group($383.56{\pm}59.08MPa$, $217.18{\pm}12.96MPa$). 2) The tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength of the laser-welded group were about each 98%, 99.7% of the as-cast group. There were no statistically significant differences in these two groups(p<0.05). 3) The percentage elongations of the soldered group($3.94{\pm}2.32%$) and the laser-welded group($5.06{\pm}1.08%$) were significantly less than the as-cast group($14.25{\pm}4.05%$) (p<0.05). 4) The fracture of the soldered specimens occurred in the solder material and many porosities were showed at the fracture site. 5) The fracture of the laser-welded specimens occurred also in the welding area, and lack of fusion and a large void was observed at the center of the fracture surface. However, the laser-welded specimens showed a ductile failure mode like the as- cast specimens. The results of this study indicated that the tensile strengths of the laser-welded joints were comparable to those of the as-cast joints and superior to those of the soldered joints.

최근 박판두재인 고장력강이 구조물에 폭넓게 사용됨으로서 좌굴이 발생하기 쉽다. 특히 고장력강을 사용하는 선체구조물에서는 좌굴은 중요한 설계기준이 되고 있다. 따라서 좌굴발생 후 거동을 정확하게 파악하는 것은 선체구조의 안정성에 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 선체의 대표적인 구조물인 판을 대상으로 각 선급 룰에서 좌굴강도식의 기준으로 삼고 있는 단순지지조건에서의 여러 가지 항복강도에 따라 압축하중을 받는 박판구조물의 초기좌굴 후 거동과 2차좌굴 후 거동에 대해서 규명하였다. 해석방법으로는 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하였고 2차좌굴과 같은 복잡한 비선형거동을 해석하기 위하여 호장증분법(Arc-length method)을 사용하였다.

Concrete cracking due to brittle tension strength significantly prevents fully utilization of the materials for "flexural-shear failure" type shear walls. Theoretical and experimental studies applying fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) have achieved fruitful results in improving the seismic performance of "flexural-shear failure" reinforced concrete shear walls. To come to an understanding of an optimal design strategy and find common performance prediction method for design methodology in terms to FRC shear walls, seismic performance on shear walls with PVA and steel FRC at edge columns and plastic region are compared in this study. The seismic behavior including damage mode, lateral bearing capacity, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity are analyzed on different fiber reinforcing strategies. The experimental comparison realized that the lateral strength and deformation capacity are significantly improved for the shear walls with PVA and steel FRC in the plastic region and PVA FRC in the edge columns; PVA FRC improves both in tensile crack prevention and shear tolerance while steel FRC shows enhancement mainly in shear resistance. Moreover, the tensile strength of the FRC are suggested to be considered, and the steel bars in the tension edge reaches the ultimate strength for the confinement of the FRC in the yield and maximum lateral bearing capacity prediction comparing with the model specified in provisions.

임상학적인 관찰에 따르면, 반복적인 하중에 의하여 뼈/건의 접합부분에 발생하는 부분적인 파손은 병리학적인 변화를 유발시킴으로 인하여 주관절의 상골과염(Epicondylitis)으로 발전시킬 수 있는 주요한 원인으로 간주되고 있다. 반복적인 하중이나 정적인 하중 하에서의 주관절에 위치한 신전건 및 굴곡건의 기계학적인 물성치와 파괴양상은 지금까지 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 상골과염과 직접적인 관계가 되는 신전건 및 굴곡건의 기계학적인 물성치인 파괴강도, 반복하중의 회수와 변형율(Strain)간의 연관관계 및 반복하중에 있어서의 생체조직학적 변화의 향상, 특히 파괴의 진행양상을 관찰하였다. 적용하중의 속도에 따르는 신전건 및 굴곡건의 파괴강도의 통계학적인 차이는 보이지 않고 있으나, 파괴강도에 있어서 신전건은 1199.0 N/$cm^2{\pm}$388.8, 굴곡건 1922.0 N/$cm^2{\pm}$764.4로, 굴곡건이 신전건에 비하여 1.6배 정도 크게 나타났으며, 상호간의 파괴강도에 있어서 통계학적인 차이가 있음을 보여주고 있다.(p<0.05). 조직학적 관찰에 의하면, 반복하중 하에서 뼈/건의 접합부분 특히 Uncalcified Fibrocartilage 부분에서 분리가 시작되었으며, 이는 상골과염을 발생시키는 주요생체조직부분이라는 것을 시사하고 있다.

Zirconium alloy cladding tube specimens were irradiated at $380^{\circ}C$ up to a fast neutron fluence of $7.5{\times}10^{24}n/m^2$ in a research reactor to investigate the effect of neutron irradiation on hydride reorientation and mechanical property degradation. Cool-down tests from $400^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$ under 150 MPa tensile hoop stress were performed. These tests indicate that the irradiated specimens generated a smaller radial hydride fraction than did the unirradiated specimens and that higher hydrogen content generated a smaller radial hydride fraction. The irradiated specimens of 500 ppm-H showed smaller ultimate tensile strength and plastic strain than those characteristics of the 250 ppm-H specimens. This mechanical property degradation caused by neutron irradiation can be explained by tensile hoop stress-induced microcrack formation on the hydrides in the irradiation-damaged matrix and subsequent microcrack propagation along the hydrides and/or through the matrix.

The purpose of the present study is to propose a realistic method to analyze the prestressed concrete members subjected to pure torsion. The present study device a method to realistically take into account the tensile stiffness of concrete after cracking. The effect of biaxial compressive and tensile loading on the compressive and tensile strength of concrete is also taken into account in the present model. The present model can predict not only the service load behavior, but also up to the behavior of ultimate load stages. The comparison of the present theory with experimental data indicates that the proposed model dipicts reasonably well the actual behavior of prestressed concrete members.

The effects of hydrogen precipitation on the mechanical properties of Zircaloy-4 and Zirlo alloys were examined with uniaxial tensile tests at room temperature and at 400 ℃ and accompanying microstructural changes in the Zircaloy-4 and Zirlo alloy specimens were discussed. The elastic moduli of Zircaloy-4 and Zirlo alloys decreased with increasing hydrogen concentrations. Yield strengths of both materials tended to decrease gradually. The reductions of yield stress seems to be caused by the dissipation of yield point phenomena shown in stress-strain curves. Ultimate tensile strengths (UTS) of Zircaloy-4 and Zirlo slightly increased at low hydrogen contents, and then decreased when the concentrations exceeded 500 and 700 wppm, respectively. Uniform elongations were stable until 600 wppm and drops to 0% around 1400 wppm at room temperature.
