Previous experimental studies have effectively demonstrated the remarkable efficiency of the stiffened channel link in connecting circular columns and I-shaped beams. This research aims to present design criteria and assess the seismic properties of this specific connection type through numerical modeling. Various parameters, including stiffener type and geometric properties of the stiffened channel element, were duly taken into account. The findings from over 136 nonlinear finite element analyses (FEAs) reveal that the recommended detailing scheme reliably satisfies all the regulations specified for rigid beam-to-column connections in special moment frames.

Silicon carbide (SiC) fibers exhibit excellent heat and chemical resistance at high temperatures. In this study, polycarbosilane melt spinning, oxidation curing, and pyrolysis were performed to fabricate amorphous SiC fibers, and their resistance heating characteristics were evaluated. A stick-type amorphous silicon carbide fiber heating element was manufactured, and the resistance was measured using the two-point probe method. The structural, electrical, and heating characteristics were evaluated at different pyrolysis temperatures. The fiber produced at 1300℃ displayed the highest conductivity and the maximum heating compared to the fibers produced at 1200℃ and 1400℃. This may be attributed to difference in the structures of the fibers, particularly the SiC and graphitic carbon structures.

We propose an accurate and efficient estimation method of transverse shear stresses for analysis and design of laminated composite structures by 4-node quadrilateral degenerated shell elements. To get proper distributions of transverse shear stresses in each layer, we use 3-dimensional equilibrium equations instead of constitutive equations with shear correction factors which vary diversely according to the shapes of shell sections. Three dimensional equilibrium equations are integrated through the thickness direction with complete polynomial membrane stress fields, which are recovered by REP (Recovery by Equilibrium in Patches) recovery method. The 4-node quadrilateral degenerated shell element used in this paper has drilling degrees of freedom and shear stresses derived from assumed strain fields that are set up at natural coordinate systems. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed estimation method attains reasonable accuracy and efficiency compared with other methods and FE analysis using 4-node degenerated shell elements.

Thermal expansions and thermal expansion coefficients of cordierite ceramics reinforced by SiC whiskers up to 40 vol. % were investigated. The composite specimens were hot pressed at 1523K for 30 min under 28.5 MPa pressing pressure in Ar atmosphere. Thermal expansions of the hot pressed composites were measured using a differential dilatometer up to 1262 K in air. Thermal expansions and thermal expansion coefficient of the composites increased with SiC whisker content. Thermal expansion behaviors of the composites were well explained by modelling parallel slabs randomly distributed on the whisker plane as the microstructural element of the composites.

In this paper, the interfacial stress intensity factors( $K_{i}$＝ $K_1$＋i $K_2$) for the edge interface crack in the dissimilar materials(isotropic-isotropic materials, isotropic-composite materials) were analysed by BEM(Boundary Element Method). The fatigue crack growth behaviour was investigated by load constant fatigue test. From the experimental results, the relationship between da/dN and interfacial stress intensity facto, ( $K_{i}$ or $K_1$) can be expressed by Paris'law for homogeneous materials.s.s.

In this literature, we mose the design method of a proportional pressure control valve using valve system analysis and finite element method. And it is shown that a manufactured proportional pressure control valve character is well matched to tile theoretical analysis results. Also it is verified that the proposed valve has excellent performance compared to the other foreign products.

This paper presents results of fire tests on corrugated sheets used as load bearing structure of roofs of industrial buildings. Additional tests of bolted sheet connections to the supporting structure at ambient and elevated temperatures are described. Three connection types were tested and their resistance, stiffness and deformation capacity was evaluated. Finite element simulations of the corrugated sheet based on the experimental observations are briefly described and design models are presented.

Dynamic characteristics of smart laminated composite plates with passive constrained layer damping have been investigated to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity. The equations of motion are derived fur flexural vibrations of symmetrical, multi-layer laminated plates. The damping ratio and modal damping of the first bending and torsional modes are calculated by means of iterative complex eigensolution method. (omitted)

The present research aims to develop a methodology to rapidly assess bridges with damage to the superstructure, caused by overheight trucks or lower-than-average overhead clearance. Terrestrial laser scanning and image processing techniques are combined with the finite element method to arrive at an analytical model which is more accurate, with respect to the complex geometrical aspects of the bridge in its damaged configuration. ""Virtual load testing"" may subsequently be carried out on this analytical model to determine the reserve capacity of the structure in an objective manner.

The standing waves of the fourth bending ode of vibration and the first longitudinal mode of vibration were utilized to construct a ultrasonic linear motor. The geometrical dimensions of the vibrator were determined by Euler-Bernoulli theory. FEM(finite element method) employed to calculate the vibration mode of the metal-piezoceramic composite thin plate vibrator. ANSYS was used to design positions of the projections and calculate displacement of vibrator.
