The techniques of pulse and cyclic voltammetry were applied to the determination of (E$_{1}$2)$_2$-(E$_{1}$2)$_1$ for two-step electrochemical charge transfers. In addition, a simple amplitude was derived far the dependence of the differential pulse response on (E$_{l}$ 2/)$_1$ and (E$_{1}$2/)$_2$. and the use of peak to peak separation in cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse methods was evaluated. A comparison of the comproportionation constants(Ke) from differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry methods exhibited a good agreement within 5%.

This paper provides an insight into the response of non-seismic reinforced concrete (RC) building frames to excitations of different frequencies through experimental investigation. The results of cyclic loading tests of six full-scale RC beam-column sub-assemblies are presented. The tested specimens did not have any transverse reinforcement inside the joint core, and they were subjected to quasi-static and dynamic loading with frequencies as high as 20 Hz. Some important differences between the cyclic responses of non-seismic and ductile RC frames are highlighted. The effect of excitation frequency on the behavior of non-seismic joints is also discussed. In the quasi-static tests, shear deformation of the joint panel accounted for more than 50% of the applied story drift. The test results also showed that higher-frequency excitations are less detrimental than quasi-static cyclic loads, and non-seismic frames can withstand a higher load and a larger deformation when they are applied faster.

In order to predict the accumulated damages by cyclic freeze-thaw, a regression analysis by the Response Surface Method (RSM) is used. RSM has merits when the other probabilistic simulation techniques can not guarantee the convergence of probability of occurrence or when the others can not differentiate the derivative terms of limit state functions, which are composed of random design variables in the model of complex system or the system having higher reliability. For composing limit state function, the important parameters for cyclic freeze-thaw-deterioration of concrete structures, such as water to cement ratio, entrained air pores, and the number of cycles of freezing and thawing, are used as input parameters of RSM. The predicted results of relative dynamic modulus and residual strains after 300 cycles of freeze-thaw for specimens show very good agreements with the experimental results. The RSM result can be used to predict the probability of occurrence for designer specified critical values. Therefore, it is possible to evaluate the life cycle management of concrete structures considering the accumulated damages by the cyclic freeze-thaw by the use of proposed prediction method.

많은 구성방정식들이 탄성, 소성, 그리고 동적응답 특성을 지닌 지반재료의 거동 특성을 규명하기 위하여 제안되어 왔다. 그러나 암반의 절리면 또는 접촉면의 주기 전단 거동특성을 정의 할 수 있는 수치해석 모델의 개발은 미진하였다. 이런 실제적인 구성 방정식 모델은 동 하중하의 암반 절리면의 거동을 예측하고 해석하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 할 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 거친 화강암 절리면의 거동특성을 모델링 할 수 있도록 수정된 구성방정식 모델의 적용성을 검토하는데 있다. 교란상태 개념(DSC) 모델은 이미 다른 접촉면 거동 모델링을 통해서 그 신뢰성을 검증 받아왔다. 이 모델을 암반 절리면 거동 특성에 맞도록 수정한 후에, 주기전단 시험 결과 및 Plesha모델의 해석 결과를 이용하여 DSC모델의 절리면 주기 전단 특성에 대한 적용성을 비교.검토하고자 한다. 본 연구결과로부터 DSC모델은 동하중하의 거친 화강암 절리면의 주기전단 거동특성을 규명할 수 있다고 판단된다.

Y.C. Fung[1]에 의한 연조직의 점탄성에 관한 수학적 모델이론 (Fung's Quasi-linear vlscoelastic theory)을 이용하여 인간의 인두조직의 점탄성(vlscoelatlcity)특성을 측정하기 위하여 반복성하중(cyclic load) ,응력완화 (tensile stress relaxation), incremental load, 그리고 일축성인장 (uniaxial tensile) 시험 등을 실시하였다. 실험적으로 측정한 인두조직의 점탄성특성이 이미 조사된 다른 조직의 점탄성특성과 정량적으로 비교되었다. 인두조직의 점탄성특성의 정량화를 위하여 Y.C.Fung의 수학적 모델이 적용되었는데 응력완화(tensile stress relaxation) 시험 측정결과로부터 도출된 표준화된 응력완화(reduced stress relaxation)함수 G(t)와 일축성인장(uniaxial tensile)시험에서 도출된 탄성반응(elastic response)함수 5(t)를 이용하여 시간에 따른 응력의 궤적을 산출하여 이를 반복성 하중(cyclic load)실험에서 측정된 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 이러한 인두조직의 점탄성특성에 관한 연구결과는 향후 유한요소를 이용한 인두의 생체역학적 모델의 기본 데이터로 이용될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 여러 영향 인자들이 사질토의 액상화로 인한 침하에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 변형률 제어조건 하에서 반복단순직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 누적 전단 변형률, 상대밀도, 반복 하중의 형태, 시료 준비 방법 등의 다양한 인자들을 선정하였으며, 지진 하중이 발생하였을 때 인자들이 지반 침하에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 시험 결과, 누적 전단 변형률이 낮고 상대밀도가 높은 시료에서 더 작은 부피 변형이 발생하였다. 추가적으로 반복하중의 진폭은 부피 변형에 영향을 미쳤으나, 주파수는 시료의 부피 변형에 영향을 미치지 않는다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 시료 준비 방법에 따라서도 액상화에 따른 침하가 다른 양상을 보인다는 사실을 확인하였으며, 이와 같은 결과들은 향후 액상화로 인한 침하 예측을 수행할 때 기초 연구로써 의미가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The moment-resistant steel frames are frequently used as a load-bearing structure of buildings. Global response of a moment-resistant frame structure strongly depends on connections behavior, which can significantly influence the response and load-bearing capacity of a steel frame structure. The analysis of a steel frame with included joints behavior is the main focus of this work. In particular, we analyze the behavior of two connection types through experimental tests, and we propose numerical beam model capable of representing connection behavior. The six experimental tests, under monotonic and cyclic loading, are performed for two different types of structural connections: end plate connection with an extended plate and end plate connection. The proposed damage-plasticity model of Reissner beam is able to capture both hardening and softening response under monotonic and cyclic loading. This model has 18 constitutive parameters, whose identification requires an elaborate procedure, which we illustrate in this work. We also present appropriate loading program and arrangement of measuring equipment, which is crucial for successful identification of constitutive parameters. Finally, throughout several practical examples, we illustrate that the steel structure connections are very important for correct prediction of the global steel frame structure response.

The overall seismic performance of existing pre 1960-70s reinforced concrete (RC) structures is significantly affected by the inadequate length of columns' lap-spliced reinforcement. Due to this crucial structural deficiency, the cyclic response is dominated by premature bond - slip failure, strength and stiffness degradation, poor energy dissipation capacity and low ductility. Recent earthquakes worldwide highlighted the importance of improving the load transfer mechanism between lap-spliced bars, while it was clearly demonstrated that the failure of lap splices may result in a devastating effect on structural integrity. Extensive experimental and analytical research was carried out herein, to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of strengthening techniques applied to RC columns with lap-spliced reinforcement and also accurately predict the columns' response during an earthquake. Ten large scale cantilever column subassemblages, representative of columns found in existing pre 1970s RC structures, were constructed and strengthened by steel or RC jacketing. The enhanced specimens were imposed to earthquake-type loading and their lateral response was evaluated with respect to the hysteresis of two original and two control subassemblages. The main variables examined were the lap splice length, the steel jacket width and the amount of additional confinement offered by the jackets. Moreover, an analytical formulation proposed by Tsonos (2007a, 2019) was modified appropriately and applied to the lap splice region, to calculate shear stress developed in the concrete and predict if yielding of reinforcement is achieved. The accuracy of the analytical method was checked against experimental results from both the literature and the experimental work included herein.

The physical tooth movement by orthodontic force is based upon alveolar bone resorption at compression site and new bone formation at tension site of the alveolar socket. The function of the cyclic AMP is to participate not only in initial action of bone cells by mechanical forces but also in the continuous cellular response leading to bone remodelling. This experiment was performed to clarify the role of cyclic AMP in bone remodelling by mechanical force in the NORMAL group, the DIABETES group and the INSULIN TREATED group. The 72 rats were divided into the NORMAL group, the DIABETES group and the INSULIN TREATED group. The same orthodontic forces were applied to the rats of 3 groups. These rats were treated for periods of time ranging from 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days. The samples of alveolar bones were obtained from compression and tension sites surrounding the tipping teeth from NORMAL, DIABETE and INSULIN TREATED rats. The samples were assayed for cyclic AMP by the cyclic AMP RIA kit. The results were as follows: 1. The cyclic AMP levels of alveolar bone in compression and tension sites showed initial decrease, then increased and .remained elevated by the time consuming. 2. The highest cyclic AMP level showed in the DIABETES group and the lowest level was in the NORMAL group. 3. The cyclic AMP levels in the INSULIN TREATED group was similar with the NORMAL group in control and tension sites, but in the compression sites it was similar with the DIABETES group.

In this paper, experimental and theoretical investigations on the response and collapse of 310 stainless steel tubes with different diameter-to-thickness ratios subjected to cyclic bending are discussed. The tube-bending device and curvature-ovalization measurement apparatus were used to conduct the experiment. The endochronic theory combined with the principle of virtual work and finite element software, ANSYS, were used to simulate the moment-curvature and ovalization-curvature relationships. It is shown that although the two methods lead to good simulation of the moment-curvature relationship, the endochronic theory combined with the principle of virtual work has the better simulation of the ovalization-curvature response when compared with experimental data and the simulation by ANSYS. In addition, the theoretical formulations proposed by Kyriakides and Shaw (1987) and Lee et al. (2001) were used to simulate the controlled curvature-number of cycles to produce buckling relationship. It is shown that the theoretical formulations effectively simulate the experimental data.
