A new approach of analyzing the displacements and stress of the surrounding rock for shallow tunnels excavated under non-axisymmetric displacement boundary conditions on a vertical surface is investigated in this study. In the proposed approach, by using a virtual image technique, the shear stress of the vertical ground surface is revised to be zero, and elastic solutions of the surrounding rock are obtained before stress revision. To revise the vertical normal stress and shear stress of horizontal ground surface generated by the combined action of the actual and image sinks, the harmonic functions and corresponding stress function solutions were adopted. Based on the Boussinesq's solutions and integral method, the horizontal normal stress of the vertical ground surface is revised to be zero. Based on the linear superposition principle, the final solution of the displacements and stress were proposed by superimposing the solutions obtained by the virtual image technique and the stress revision on the horizontal and vertical ground surfaces. Furthermore, the ground settlements and lateral displacements of the horizontal and vertical ground surfaces are derived by the proposed approach. The proposed approach was well verified by comparing with the numerical method. The discussion based on the proposed approach in the manuscript shows that smaller horizontal ground settlements will be induced by lower tunnel buried depths and smaller limb distances. The proposed approach for the displacement and stress of the surrounding rocks can provide some practical information about the surrounding rock stability analysis of shallow tunnels excavated under non-axisymmetric displacement boundary conditions on a vertical surface.

In-situ stress measurement using AE (Acoustic Emission) and DRA (Deformation Rate Analysis) is usually carried out under uniaxial loading in the laboratory and it consumes delay time from drilling to testing. Therefore, it should be considered how the lateral stress and delay time influence on the test results for the in-situ stress determination. As the delay time increased, the accuracy of estimating the pre-stress decreased. The pre-stress of the specimen loaded only axially was determined within an error of less than 9% (using AE) and 4% (using DRA). And the specimen on which axial pre-stress and the confining pressure were loaded had an error of less than 17% (using AE) and 14% (using DRA). The results of AE and DRA for field specimens were very similar with each other but smaller than those of hydraulic fracturing method.

The aim of this study is to investigate the inelastic buckling behavior of the beams under moment gradient using a line-type finite element method. The method is incorporated the non-uniform yielding of the cross-section caused by the presence of residual stress and accepted model of residual stress so called 'simplified' and 'polynomial' pattern is adopted in this study. The inelastic lateral-torsional buckling results obtained in this study is compared with the buckling results obtained from the design method based on the allowable stress method given in Korean Steel Designers Manual (KSDM 1995). This study have found that the design method in KSDM (1995) is conservative without and with intermediate bracing applied at the mid span of the beam, and there is some scope for improving the provisions of KSDM (1995)

Nonunion of the hallucal sesamoid usually occurs after stress fracture. In case of persistent disabling symptoms after non-operative treatment, surgery can be an option. We report a rare case of combined stress fractures of the medial bipartite sesamoid and the lateral sesamoid after overuse. Nonunion of the medial sesamoid developed in spite of cast immobilization, and it was eventually healed with curettage and bone grafting.

Deformation analysis of injection molded articles whose geometry is considered as the assembly of thin flat plates has been conducted. For the in-mold analysis, thermo-viscoelastic stress calculation of thermo-rheologically simple amorphous polymer and in-mold deformation calculation considering the in-plane mold constraint have been done. Free volume theory has been used to represent the non-equilibrium density state during the fast cooling. At ejection, instantaneous deformation takes place due to the redistribution of in-mold residual stress. During out-of-mold cooling after ejection, thermoelastic model based on the effective temperature has been adopted for the calculation of out-of-mold deformation. In this study, emphasis is also made on the treatment with regard to lateral constraint types during molding process. Two typical mold geometries are used to test the numerical simulation modeling developed in this study.

The effects of electrical stress on MILC(Metal Induced Lateral Crystallization) poly-Si TFT were studied. After the electrical stress was applied on the TFT’s which were fabricated by MILC process, off-state(VG<0V) current was reduced by $10^2{\sim}10^4$ times. However, when the device on which electrical stress was applied was annealed in furnace, the off-state current increased as annealing temperature increased. From the dependence of off-state current on the post-annealing temperature, activation energy of the trap states in MILC poly-Si thin films was calculated to be 0.34eV.

In the present paper a mechanical model to predict the compressive response of high strength short concrete columns with square cross-section confined by transverse steel is presented. The model allows one to estimate the equivalent confinement pressures exercised by transverse steel during the loading process taking into account of the interaction of the stirrups with the inner core both in the plane of the stirrups and in the space between two successive stirrups. The lateral pressure distributions at hoop levels are obtained by using a simple model of elastic beam on elastic medium simulating the interaction between stirrups and concrete core, including yielding of steel stirrups and damage of concrete core by means of the variation in the elastic modulus and in the Poisson's coefficient. Complete stress-strain curves in compression of confined concrete core are obtained considering the variation of the axial forces in the leg of the stirrup during the loading process. The model was compared with some others presented in the literature and it was validated on the basis of the existing experimental data. Finally, it was shown that the model allows one to include the main parameters governing the confinement problems of high strength concrete members such as: - the strength of plain concrete and its brittleness; - the diameter, the pitch and the yielding stress of the stirrups; - the diameter and the yielding stress of longitudinal bars; - the side of the member, etc.

An experimental method to measure Q-parameter in-situ is described. The basic idea comes from the fact that the side necking near a crack tip indicates the loss of stress triaxiality, which can be scaled by Q. From the out-of-plane displacement and the in-plane strain near the surface of side necking, stress field averaged through the thickness is calculated and then Q is determined from the difference between the stress field and the HRR field corresponding to the identical J-integral. To prove the validity, three-dimensional finite element analysis has been performed for a CT configuration with side-groove. Q-value which was calculated directly from the near-tip stress field is compared with that determined by simulating the experimental procedure according to the proposed method, that is, the Q-value determined from the lateral displacement and the in-plane strain. In addition, the effect of location where the displacement and strain are measured is explored.

Anchor bolt in baseplate fastenings on the slab track is an important component to conform placing and safety of fastenings. Due to the way of load transmission control of fastenings, sometimes anchor bolt has to be applied lateral load. So we have to take care for it when we design. Especially, in the case of anchor bolt which is applied loads repeatedly, we have to consider fatigue failure. If parts of machine are damaged in static loads, stress will exceed the yield strength. So parts could be transformed largely. Therefore because they are visible to the naked eyes, we can replace parts before failure. However, because fatigue failure that are invisible to the naked eyes happen unexpectedly, it's very dangerous. To make a reasonable design of anchor bolts, we will analyze them by changing diameters of anchor bolt, quality of insert, initial gap between anchor bolt and insert, the presence of insert, etc. which affect the stresses of anchor bolts. We can get the maximum and minimum amplitude of stress through the modified Goodman diagram or Smith diagram which represents limit of all strengths and stress components to the average stress. We also tried to show the way of examining the expected th life of anchor bolt briefly through considering above.

Stress waves monitored on the surface of structures under various loading conditions can provide useful information on the structural health status. In this paper, stress waves are measured by several sensors when a steel beam is impacted by a ball drop. The sensors used include the piezo-electric film Sensor, the electrical strain gage, and the ultrasonic transducer, and special attention is given to the pieza film sensor. The wavelet transform is used for the time-frequency analysis of dispersive waves propagating in the beam. The velocities of the wave produced in the team due to the lateral impact is found to be frequency-dependent and identified as the flexural wave velocity based on the comparisons with the Timoshenko beam theory. A linear impact site identification method is developed using the flexural wave, and the impact sites of the beam can be accurately estimated by the piezo film sensors. It is found that the piezo film sensor is appropriate for sensing stress waves due to impact and for locating impact sites in the beam.
