Acid rain of soils has a significant impact on mechanical properties. An X-ray diffraction test, scanning electron microscope (SEM) test, laser particle size analysis test, and triaxial unconsolidated undrained (UU) test were carried out in red clay soils with different compaction degrees under the effect of different concentrations of acid. The experiments demonstrated that: the dissolution effect of acid rain on colluvium weakened with the increase in the compacting degree under the condition of certain pH values, i.e., the damage to the structure of red clay soil was relatively light, where the number of newly increased pores in the soil decreased and the agglomeration of soil particles increased; for the same compacting degree, the structural gap decreased, and the agglomeration increased with the increase in the pH value (acidity decreases) of the acid rain; the dissolution rate of Si, Al, Fe, and other elemental minerals and cement in red clay soil was found to be higher under the effect of acid rain, in turn destroying the original structure of the soil body and producing a large number of pores. This is macroscopically expressed as the decrease of the soil cohesion and internal friction angle, thereby reducing the shear strength of the soil body.

W e performed a geometrical nonlinear dynamic analysis of laminated skew plates made of advanced composite materials (ACM ) based on the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT). The Newmark method and Newton-Raphson iteration are used for the nonlinear dynamic solution. The effects of skew angles and layup sequences on the nonlinear dynamic response for various parameters are studied using a nonlinear dynamic finite element program developed for this study. The several numerical results were in good agreement with those reported by other investigators for square composite and skew plates, and the new results reported in this paper show the significant interactions between the skew angle and layup sequence in the skew laminate. Key observation points are discussed and a brief design guideline is given.

To injection mould polymers, designing mould is a key task involving several critical decisions with direct implications to yield quality, productivity and frugality. One prominent decision among them is specifying sprue-bush conduit expansion as it significantly influences overall injection moulding; abstruseness anguish in its design criteria deceives direct determination. Intuitively designers decide it wisely and then exasperate by optimising or manipulating processing parameters. To overwhelm that anomaly this research aims at proposing an ideal design criteria holistically for all polymeric materials also tend as a functional assessment metric towards perfection i.e., criteria to specify sprue conduit size before mould development. Accordingly, a priori analytical criterion was deduced quantitatively as expansion ratio from ubiquitous empirical relationships specifically a.k.a an exclusive expansion angle imperatively configured for injectant properties. Its computational intelligence advantage was leveraged to augment functionality of perfectly injecting into an impression gap, while synchronising both injector capacity and desired moulding features. For comprehensiveness, it was continuously sensitised over infinite scale as an explicit factor dependent on in-situ spatio-temporal injectant state perplexity with discrete slope and altitude for each polymeric character. In which congregant ranges of apparent viscosity and shear thinning index were conceived to characteristically assort most thermoplastics. Thereon results accorded aggressive conduit expansion widening for viscous incrust, while a very aggressive narrowing for shear thinning encrust; among them apparent viscosity had relative dominance. This important rationale would certainly form a priori design basis as well diagnose filling issues causing several defects. Like this the proposed generic design criteria, being simple would immensely benefit mould designers besides serve as an inexpensive preventive cliché to moulders. Its adaption ease to practice manifests a hope of injection moulding extremely alluring polymers. Therefore, we concluded that appreciating injectant's polymeric character to design exclusive sprue bush offers a definite a priori advantage.

To investigate the effect of postmortem phases on lamb meat quality, the physicochemical quality, microstructure and water mobility of oyster cut, short loin, knuckle and silverside muscles from Small-Tail Han sheep were evaluated in the pre-rigor, rigor mortis and post-rigor phases. Pre-rigor lamb meat had higher pH and water holding capacity (WHC), whereas lower CIE L^*, b^*, hue angle values than rigor mortis and post-rigor meat (p<0.05). The Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) values were higher in rigor mortis short loin and silverside than their pre-rigor and post-rigor counterparts, pre-rigor short loin had lower WBSF value than its post-rigor counterpart (p<0.05). Muscle fibers shrank laterally and longitudinally during the onset of rigor mortis. Rigor mortis and postrigor lamb meat exhibited wide I-bands, dark A-bands, short sarcomeres and large inter-myofibrillar spaces. The shift of immobilized water to free water and repulsion from the intra-myofibrillar space to the extracellular space result in the increase of water loss in rigor mortis and post-rigor lamb meat. The results of the principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that rigor mortis and post-rigor lamb meat had similar quality properties but different from pre-rigor lamb meat. In conclusion, the lamb meat in the pre-rigor phase had good tenderness, color and WHC. The results of this research could provide some theoretical references for lamb meat production and processing.

Free vibration analysis of power law and sigmoidal sandwich plates made up of functionally graded materials (FGMs) has been carried out using finite element based higher-order zigzag theory. The present model satisfies all-important conditions such as transverse shear stress-free conditions at the plate's top and bottom surface along with continuity condition for transverse stresses at the interface. A Nine-noded C0 finite element having eleven degrees of freedom per node is used during the study. The present model is free from the requirement of any penalty function or post-processing technique and hence is computationally efficient. The present model's effectiveness is demonstrated by comparing the present results with available results in the literature. Several new results have been proposed in the present work, which will serve as a benchmark for future works. It has been observed that the material variation law, power-law exponent, skew angle, and boundary condition of the plate widely determines the free vibration behavior of sandwich functionally graded (FG) plate.

Unlike the existing truss models for shear and torsion analysis, in this study, the torsional capacities of reinforced concrete (RC) members were estimated by introducing multi-potential capacity criteria that considered the aggregate interlock, concrete crushing, and spalling of concrete cover. The smeared truss model based on the fixed-angle theory was utilized to obtain the torsional behavior of reinforced concrete member, and the multi-potential capacity criteria were then applied to draw the capacity of the member. In addition, to avoid any iterative calculation in the existing torsional behavior model, a simple strength model was suggested that considers key variables, such as the effective thickness of torsional member, principal stress angle, and strain effect that reduces the resistance of concrete due to large longitudinal tensile strain. The proposed multi-potential capacity concept and the simple strength model were verified by comparing with test results collected from the literature. The study found that the multi-potential capacity could estimate in a rational manner not only the torsional strength but also the failure mode of RC members subjected to torsional moment, by reflecting the reinforcing index in both transverse and longitudinal directions, as well as the sectional and material properties of RC members.

본 연구에서는 Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)계 탄소섬유 표면에 구리도금 표면처리가 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 기계적 계면 특성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 관찰하였다. 탄소섬유 표면특성은 주사전자현미경, X-선 광전자 분광법, X-선 회절분석기, 접촉각 측정기로 측정하였고, 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 기계적 계면 물성은 층간전단강도(interlaminar shear strength, ILSS)와 파괴인성(critical stress intensity factor, $K_{IC}$)측정을 통하여 알아보았다. 실험결과로부터, 기계적 계면물성은 탄소섬유 표면에 COOH group과 도금된 구리함량이 증가됨에 따라 순차적으로 증가되는 것이 확인되었으나, 도금시간을 길게 하여 과량의 구리가 도입되었을 경우 기계적 계면 물성을 도리어 감소시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 구리함량이 탄소섬유 복합재료의 기계적 계면물성을 결정하는 중요 요소라 판단되나, 최적의 함량이상에서는 계면분리에 의한 물성저하의 원인이 될 수 있다.

The prediction of the susceptibility of soil to liquefaction using a limited set of parameters, particularly when dealing with highly unbalanced databases is a challenging problem. The current study focuses on different ensemble learning classification algorithms using highly unbalanced databases of results from in-situ tests; standard penetration test (SPT), shear wave velocity (V_s) test, and cone penetration test (CPT). The input parameters for these datasets consist of earthquake intensity parameters, strong ground motion parameters, and in-situ soil testing parameters. liquefaction index serving as the binary output parameter. After a rigorous comparison with existing literature, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), bagging, and random forest (RF) emerge as the most efficient models for liquefaction instance classification across different datasets. Notably, for SPT and V_s-based models, XGBoost exhibits superior performance, followed by Light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) and Bagging, while for CPT-based models, Bagging ranks highest, followed by Gradient boosting and random forest, with CPT-based models demonstrating lower G_mean(error), rendering them preferable for soil liquefaction susceptibility prediction. Key parameters influencing model performance include internal friction angle of soil (ϕ) and percentage of fines less than 75 µ (F₇₅) for SPT and V_s data and normalized average cone tip resistance (q_c) and peak horizontal ground acceleration (a_max) for CPT data. It was also observed that the addition of V_s measurement to SPT data increased the efficiency of the prediction in comparison to only SPT data. Furthermore, to enhance usability, a graphical user interface (GUI) for seamless classification operations based on provided input parameters was proposed.

본 연구는 단독말뚝 또는 군말뚝 형태의 기초 하부를 터널이 근접통과할 경우 말뚝의 거동을 파악하기위해 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 이때 터널과 말뚝기초 사이의 지반보강 조건별로 수치해석을 수행하여 결과를 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널굴착으로 인해 유발된 말뚝침하, 축력, 전단응력 및 터널 주변지반의 전체변위를 고찰하였다. 단독말뚝의 두부침하는 지반보강의 범위가 가장 넓은 경우 지반보강을 고려하지 않은 말뚝에 비해 약 16% 감소하며, 말뚝의 최대 축력 또한 지반보강을 고려하지 않은 말뚝에 비해 약 30% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 터널굴착에 따른 말뚝의 거동은 지반보강길이 (종방향 보강)보다는 보강각도(횡방향 보강)에 대해 더 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 오직 기초판 보강만을 실시한 군말뚝의 경우 선단부근 지반의 변위는 보강을 고려하지 않은 조건의 지반 변위와 비슷하게 나타났다. 이에 비해 말뚝두부에서는 기초판이 말뚝을 크게 구속하여 타 조건 말뚝의 경우에 비해 말뚝상부에서 축력이 약 2.5배 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 보강조건에 따른 단독말뚝 및 군말뚝의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자를 심도 있게 고찰하였다.

2차원 응력조건에서 V형 암석노치의 파괴하중을 계산하는 해석적 절차를 slip-line 소성해석법 기반으로 개발하였다. 노치 주변의 암석이 소성상태에 있을 때 slip-line 중 하나인 α선이 암석 노치 면과 노치 외부 수평면을 연결한다는 사실과 α선을 따라서 변하지 않는 불변량이 존재한다는 이론적 사실이 해석적 절차 개발과정에서 핵심 아이디어로 활용되었다. 암석 노치 외부 수평면의 응력 경계조건을 알고 있으므로 불변량 방정식을 풀면 암석 노치 면에 작용하는 수직응력과 전단응력을 계산하는 것이 가능해진다. 노치 면에 작용하는 응력성분 값을 이용하여 쐐기에 의해 노치에 가해지는 파괴하중을 계산하였다. 개발된 해석적 절차를 적용하여 암석 노치파괴 해석을 수행하였다. 암석 노치의 파괴하중은 노치의 각도 및 노치 면의 마찰이 증가함에 따라 지수함수적 비선형성을 가지고 증가하는 특성이 있음을 해석결과는 보여주었다. 이 연구에서 개발한 해석적 절차는 쐐기형 노치 형성을 통한 암석균열 개시조건 연구, 암반 기초 지지력 계산, 암반사면 및 원형터널의 안전성 해석 등에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
