A mental task combined with noise background is an effective model of laboratory stress for study of psychophysiology of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The intensity of the background noise significantly affects both a subjective evaluation of experienced stress level during test and the physiological responses associated with mental load in noisy environments. Providing tests of similar difficulties we manipulated the background noise intensity as a main factor influencing a psychophysiological outcome and the analyzed reactivity along withe the noise intensity dimension. The goal of this study was to identify the patterns of ANS responses and the relevant subjective stress scores during performance of word recognition tasks on the background of white noise (WN) of the different intensities (55, 70 and 85 dB). Subjects were 27 college students (19-24 years old). BIOPAC, Grass Neurodata System and AcqKnowlwdge 3.5 software were used to record ECG, PPG, SCL, skin temperature, and respiration. Experimental manipulations were effective in producing subjective and physiological responses usually associated with stress. The results suggested that the following potential autonomic mechanisms might be involved in the mediation of the observed physiological responses: A sympathetic activation with parasympathetic withdrawal during mild 55 and 70dB noise (featured by similar profiles) and simultaneous activation of sympathetic and parasympathetic systems during intense 85dB WN. The parasympathetic activation in this case might be a compensatory effect directed to prevent sympathetic domination and to maintain optimal arousal state for the successful performance on mental stress task. It should be mentioned that obtained results partially support Gellhorn's (1960; 1970) "tuning phenomenon" as a possible mechanism underlying stress response.

This study focused on the development on functional shoe apparatus so that the appropriate impact can be applied to the feet in order to improve the density of mineral bone at lower limbs. The model with structure proposed in this study had an effective stress about 20 to 100% higher by comparing that of the model without it among most of 15 bone extraction points. Though there is a limitation that the finite element analysis data from the human body model are not the value of mineral bone densities by measuring directly but the effective bone stresses against impact, the proposed structure is designed to influence the increase of bone mass and improve the density of mineral bone by effecting the improvement of the density of mineral bone actually.

This paper analyzes nonlinear free vibration of the circular nano-tubes made of functionally graded materials in the framework of nonlocal strain gradient theory in conjunction with a refined higher order shear deformation beam model. The effective material properties of the tube related to the change of temperature are assumed to vary along the radius of tube based on the power law. The refined beam model is introduced which not only contains transverse shear deformation but also satisfies the stress boundary conditions where shear stress cancels each other out on the inner and outer surfaces. Moreover, it can degenerate the Euler beam model, the Timoshenko beam model and the Reddy beam model. By incorporating this model with Hamilton's principle, the nonlinear vibration equations are established. The equations, including a material length scale parameter as well as a nonlocal parameter, can describe the size-dependent in linear and nonlinear vibration of FGM nanotubes. Analytical solution is obtained by using a two-steps perturbation method. Several comparisons are performed to validate the present analysis. Eventually, the effects of various physical parameters on nonlinear and linear natural frequencies of FGM nanotubes are analyzed, such as inner radius, temperature, nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, scale parameter ratio, slenderness ratio, volume indexes, different beam models.

Over the past couple decades, externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have emerged as a repair and strengthening material for many concrete infrastructure applications. This paper presents an analytical investigation of the use of carbon FRP (CFRP) for a specific problem that occurs in concrete bridge girders wherein the girder ends are damaged by excessive exposure to deicing salts and numerous freezing/thawing cycles. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a full scale prestressed concrete (PC) I-girder is used to investigate the effect of damage to the cover concrete and stirrups in the end region of the girder. Parametric studies are performed using externally bonded CFRP shear laminates to determine the most effective repair schemes for the damaged end region under a short shear span-to-depth ratio. Experimental results on shear pull off tests of CFRP laminates that have undergone accelerated aging are used to calibrate a bond stress-slip model for the interface between the FRP and concrete substrate and approximate the reduced bond stress-slip properties associated with exposure to the environment that causes this type of end region damage. The results of these analyses indicate that this particular application of this material can be effective in recovering the original strength of PC bridge girders with damaged end regions, even after environmental aging.

Highly curved steel-box bridges are usually constructed as ramp structures for the highway interchange and metropolitan elevated highway junction, but a number of these bridges are deteriorated and damaged to a significant degree due to heavy traffic. The main objective of the study is to develop a practical reliability-based assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of existing curved steel-box ramp bridges. In the paper, for the realistic assessment of safety and residual load carrying-capacity of deteriorated and/or damaged curved steel-box bridges, an interactive non-linear limit state model is formulated based on the von Mises's combined stress yield criterion. It is demonstrated that the proposed model is effective for the assessment of reliability-based safety and the evaluation of residual load carrying-capacity of curved steel-box bridges. In addition, this study comparatively shows the applicability of various reliability analysis methods, and suggests a practical and effective one to be used in practice.

Barcelona Basic Model(BBM)은 응력의 변화에 따른 부피변화뿐만 아니라 흡입력의 변화에 따른 팽윤거동을 설명할 수 있으며, 흡입력 변화에 따른 점착력과 선행압밀응력의 변화와 온도변화에 따른 선행압밀응력의 변화를 고려할 수 있다. 따라서, 고준위방사성폐기물 처분시스템에서 공학적방벽재로 고려되고 있는 벤토나이트 완충재의 열-수리-역학적 복합거동을 예측 및 분석하는 것에 많이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 암반 및 지반 공학자들에게 잘 알려져 있지 않기 때문에 BBM을 소개하고자 한다. BBM은 불포화 토질의 역학적 거동을 모사하기 위해 Modified Cam Clay(MCC) 모델을 확장하여 만들어 졌기 때문에 본 고에서는 먼저 MCC 모델을 간략하게 소개하고, 열-탄소성 모델인 BBM을 상세히 소개하였다.

Advanced nonlinear effective stress constitutive models are started to be frequently used in one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) site response analysis for assessment of porewater generation and liquefaction potential in soft soil deposits. The emphasis of this research is on the assessment of the implementation of this category of models at the element stage. Initially, the performance of a coupled porewater pressure (PWP) and constitutive models were evaluated employing a catalogue of 40 unidirectional cyclic simple shear tests with a variety of relative densities between 35% and 80% and effective vertical stresses between 40 and 80 kPa. The authors evaluated three coupled constitutive models (PDMY02, PM4SAND and PDMY03) using cyclic direct simple shear tests and for decide input parameters used in the model, procedures are recommended. The ability of the coupled model to capture dilation as strength is valuable because the studied models reasonably capture the cyclic performance noted in the experiments and should be utilized to conduct effective stress-based 1D and 2D site response analysis. Sandy soils may become softer and liquefy during earthquakes as a result of pore-water pressure (PWP) development, which may have an impact on seismic design and site response. The tested constitutive models are mathematically coupled with a cyclic strain-based PWP generation model and can capture small-strain stiffness and large-strain shear strength. Results show that there are minor discrepancies between measured and computed excess PWP ratios, indicating that the tested constitutive models provide reasonable estimations of PWP increase during cyclic shear (r_u) and the banana shape is reproduced in a proper way indicating that dilation and shear- strain behavior is well captured by the models.

본 연구에서는 흙의 미소변형에서 대변형까지 고려할 수 있는 유효응력해석을 이용하여 매립지반에 대한 액상화 및 진동으로 발생하는 침하량을 예측하였다. 유효응력모델은 진동 중에 발생하는 과잉간극수압을 계산하여 이에 따른 흙의 강성저하와 수반되는 지반의 변위를 모델링하였다. 진동으로 인한 지반의 변형률 수준이 작은 경우에 적합한 등가선형해석을 이용한 액상화 평가를 실시하여 유효응력모델을 이용한 예측법과 비교하였다. 등가선형해석에서 계산된 전단응력비에 해당하는 표준관입시험치를 국내에서 발생 가능한 지진규모와 실트질 함유량에 따라 콘관입저항치로 환산한 값과 현장에서 계측된 콘관입저항치를 서로 비교하여 액상화 가능성을 예측하였다. 두 곳의 인천지역 매립지에 대한 액상화 해석을 위하여 매립지에서 계측된 콘관입저항치와 전단파 속도를 이용하여 입력 물성값을 결정하였다. 인천 매립지에 대한 두 액상화 해석 방법의 결과는 액상화 발생 여부에서 유사하였으며 깊이에 따른 연속적인 액상화 판정과 얇은 층의 액상화 예측이 가능하여 액상화 예측의 정밀도를 높였다. 유효응력모델을 이용한 액상화 해석 결과는 지표면 아래 20m 이내에서 초기 유효수직응력의 40%~70% 정도의 과잉간극수압이 발생하였으며 이로 인하여 지표면에서 10cm 미만의 침하가 발생하였다.

The Finite Element Analysis has been used for stress analysis of prosthesis, orthodontic or orthopedic appliances and filling materials. The primary purpose of the present studying was to evaluate the effectiveness of needle post in promoting the retention and integrity of composite crown restored on the pulpotomized primary central incisor. Three finite element models-natural tooth (Sample I), composite crown with (Sample II) and without (Sample III) needle post-were constructed and the stress distribution within each model were analyzed and compared one another. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. In sample I, the stress was shown to have distributed uniformly throughout the whole tooth even to the alveolar bone. 2. In sample II, the transmission of stress from the crown to the root area was shown to be very poor and irregular. 3. In sample III, the needle post was proved to be very effective in distributing the stress well to the aveolar bone which might help in maintaining the stability of crown restoration.
