One of the unresolved questions in articular cartilage biomechanics is the magnitude of the dynamic modulus and tissue compressive strains under physiological loading conditions. The objective of this study was to characterize the dynamic modulus and compressive strain magnitudes of bovine articular cartilage at physiological compressive stress level and loading frequency. Four bovine calf shoulder joints (ages 2-4 months) were loaded in Instron testing system under load control, with a load amplitude up to 800 N and loading frequency of 1 Hz, resulting in peak engineering stress amplitude of ${\sim}5.8\;MPa$. The corresponding peak deformation of the articular layer reached ${\sim}27%$ of its thickness. The effective dynamic modulus determined from the slope of stress versus strain curve was ${\sim}23\;MPa$, and the phase angle difference between the applied stress and measured strain which is equivalent to the area of the hystresis loop in the stress-strain response was ${\sim}8.3^{\circ}$. These results are representative of the functional properties of articular cartilage in a physiological loading environment. This study provides novel experimental findings on the physiological strain magnitudes and dynamic modulus achieved in intact articular layers under cyclical loading conditions.

This work is devoted to the study of fresh and hardened properties of concrete containing recycled gravel. Four formulations were studied, the concrete of reference and three concretes containing recycled gravel with 30, 65 and 100 % replacement ratios. All materials were formulated on the basis of S4 class of flowability and a target C35 class of compressive strength according to the standard EN 206-1. The paper first presents the mix design method which was based on the optimization of cementitious paste and granular skeleton, then discusses experimental results. The results show that the elastic modulus and the tensile strength decrease while the peak strain in compression increases. Correlation with the water porosity is also established. The validity of analytical expressions proposed by Eurocode 2 is also discussed. The obtained results, together with results from the literature, show that these relationships do not predict adequately the mechanical properties as well as the stress-strain curve of tested materials. New expressions were established to predict the elastic modulus and the peak strain from the compressive strength of natural concrete. It was found that the proposed relationship E-$f_c$ is applicable for any type of concrete while the effect of substitution has to be introduced into the stress-strain (${\varepsilon}_{c1}-f_c$) relationship for recycled aggregate concrete. For the full stress-strain curve, the model of Carreira and Chu seems more adequate.

A stress-strain relationship for reinforced concrete membrane elements subjected to reversed cyclic loading is quite different to that of concrete cylinder subjected to uniaxial compression. The compressive strength of cracked concrete membrane elements is reduced by cracking due to tension in the perpendicular direction. Based on the three reinforced concrete panel tests, a softened stress-strain curve of concrete subjected to reversed cyclic loading is proposed. The proposed model consists of seven stages in the compressive zones and six stages in the tensile zones. The proposed model is verified by comparing to the test results.

Steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) is a relatively new composite material which congregates the benefits of self-compacting concrete (SCC) technology with the profits derived from the fiber addition to a brittle cementitious matrix. Steel fibers improve many of the properties of SCC elements including tensile strength, toughness, energy absorption capacity and fracture toughness. Modification in the mix design of SCC may have a significant influence on the SFRSCC mechanical properties. Therefore, it is vital to investigate whether all of the assumed hypotheses for steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) are also valid for SFRSCC structures. Although available research regarding the influence of steel fibers on the properties of SFRSCC is limited, this paper investigates material's mechanical properties. The present study includes: a) evaluation and comparison of the current analytical models used for estimating the mechanical properties of SFRSCC and SFRC, b) proposing new relationships for SFRSCC mixtures mechanical properties. The investigated mechanical properties are based on the available experimental results and include: compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, strain at peak compressive strength, tensile strength, and compressive and tensile stress-strain curves.

It is well known that a specific experimental method such as the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique is the simplest experimental technique to determine the dynamic material properties under the impact compressive loading conditions with strain-rate of the order of $10^3/s{\sim}10^4/s$. This type of experimental procedure has been widely used with proper modification on the test setups to determine the varying dynamic response of materials for the dynamic boundary conditions such as tensile and fracture as well. In this paper, dynamic compressive deformation behaviors of an Ethylene Copolymer materials widely used for the isolation of vibration from varying structures under dynamic loading are estimated using the SHPB technique.

This study is about the dynamic behavior of steel(SM45C). Dynamic tests were performed using SHPB(Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) which is designed and modified to be used in both tensile and compressive modes. Quasi-static compression tests were also carried out for the comparison to the dynamic results. Not only the dynamic mechanical properties but also the effect of the notch of the specimen on stress-strain curve were investigated. The dynamic test results reveal that strain and stress are sensitively affected by the notch. The depth and the number of notch increase the stress and decrease the strain.

In this study, nonlinear analyses of prestressed concrete(PSC) test beams for inservice inspection of prestressed concrete containments for CANDU nuclear power plants are presented. In the analysis the material nonlinearities of concrete, rebar and prestressing steel are used. To reduce the numerical instability with respect to the used finite element mesh size, the tension stiffening effect has been considered. For concrete, the tensile stress-strain relationship derived from tests is modified and the stress-strain curve of rebar is assumed as a simple bilinear model. The stress-strain curve of prestressing steel is applied as a multilineal curve with the first straight line up to 0.8fpu. To prove the validity of the applied material models, the behavior and strength of the PSC test specimens tested to failure have been evaluated. A reasonable agreement between the experimental results and the predictions is obtained. Parametric studies on the tension stiffening effects, the impact of prestressing losses with time, and the compressive strength of concrete have been conducted.

본 연구에서는 염해를 받은 콘크리트의 역학적 성능 평가를 수행하고, 실험 결과를 바탕으로 염소이온 농도에 따른 압축응력변형률 모델을 제시하였다. 염해를 모사하기 위해 콘크리트 배합 시 CaCl₂ 용액을 첨가하였으며, 염소이온의 농도는 결합재의 중량 대비 0, 1, 2, 4 %가 되도록 하였다. 콘크리트의 최대 압축응력 이후의 응력-변형률 곡선을 조사하기 위해 변위 제어를 통해 압축강도를 측정하였다. 염소이온 농도가 1 %인 경우에는 최대 압축응력이 증가하였으나, 염소이온 농도가 2 % 이상인 경우에는 최대 압축응력이 감소하였다. 최대 압축응력에서의 변형률의 경우 재령 7일의 시편에서는 염소이온 농도에 따른 경향이 나타나지 않았다. 재령 28일의 시편에서는 염소이온 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 재령 28일의 최대 압축응력와 변형률의 변화를 이용하여 Popovics model에 기반한 응력-변형률 곡선 모델을 제시하였다. 염소이온의 농도 증가에 따른 역학적 성능 저하의 원인을 조사하기 위해 수화생성물 분석을 수행하였다. 염소이온의 농도가 증가함에 따라 Friedel's salt가 증가하고, portlandite가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

폴리머콘크리트는 시멘트 콘크리트에 비해 강도와 내구적 성능 등 여러면에 있어 우수하여 건설현장에서의 벽체용 패널, 통신용 맨흘, 기계설비의 기초, 지하연결박스 등 다양한 용도로 개발되고 사용되어지고 있다. 그러나 폴리머콘크리트는 그 결합재로 쓰이고 있는 수지의 비용이 높아 경제적인 면에서 불리하여 기존 수지를 대체할 수 있는 결합재에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 여기서, PET를 재활용한 폴리머콘크리트는 산업폐기물을 재활용한 것이므로 경제적인 건설 소재가 될 수 있으며, 친환경적인 효과를 가져올 수 있기 때문에 현재 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고, 사용 영역이 확대 될 것으로 전망된다. 하지만 아직까지 PET재활용 폴리머콘크리트의 응력-변형률 거동에 관해서는 기초적인 연구상태에 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 폐 PET를 합성한 불포화 폴리에스터 수지를 폴리머콘크리트의 결합재로 이용하여 콘크리트를 제조하였으며, 수지량, 골재의 최대치수, 양생방법에 변화를 주었다. 그리고 변위제어가 가능한 M.T.S 장비를 사용하여 응력-변형률 곡선을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 PET 재활용 폴리머콘크리트의 압축강도는 수지의 함량, 굵은골재의 크기변화, 양생방법에 모두 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 탄성계수의 변화는 수지의 함량이 크게 좌우하였으며, 굵은골재의 최대치수와 양생방법에서 크게 영향을 받지 않았다. 최대응력에서의 변형률은 수지의 함량과 굵은골재의 최대치수에 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다.
