유연도법 섬유요소모델을 통하여 반복하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 교각의 비탄성 이력 거동을 추적하고 직접적인 방법에 의해 변위연성도 평가를 수행하였다. 철근 콘크리트 교각의 극한상태까지의 비탄성 거동을 합리적으로 추적하기 위해 인장강성거동, 기둥-기초면의 불연속 변위 등을 고려하여 철근과 콘크리트의 평균응력-평균변형률 관계, 접촉면요소 등을 실험과 잘 일치하는 기존의 해석 모델을 수정, 적용하였다. 또한 수치해석시 간편하게 적용할 수 있는 직접적인 방법에 의하여 교각의 연성능력을 평가하였으며, 항복변위 및 극한변위의 산출에 영향을 미치는 적분점의 위치, 콘크리트 압쇄 후 강루 철근의 low-cycle fatigue에 의한 파단 시점 등에 대하여 유연도법 섬유요소모델에 적용할 수 있는 값들을 제시하였다. 해석에 의한 변위연성도는 10%이내의 오차를 보이므로, 적용한 해석기법 및 모델에 의한 항복변위 및 극한변위의 평가는 타당하다고 할 수 있다.

This paper deals with cyclic stress and strain responses during isothermal low cycle fatigue (LCF) and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) loadings on Nb and Mo containing 15Cr stainless steel, which is used for exhaust manifolds in automobiles. The test temperatures ($T_{i}$) of the isothermal LCF were 600 and $800^{\circ}C$. The minimum temperature of the TMF test was $100^{\circ}C$ and the maximum temperaures ($T_{p}$) were varied between 500 and $800^{\circ}C$. In both loading conditions, weak cyclic softening is observed at $T_{i}=T_{p}=800^{\circ}C$, but the transition to strong cyclic hardening is completed with the temperature decrease below $T_i=600{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for LCF and $T_{p}=500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ for TMF. The stress-strain hysteresis loops in the TMF loading show a significant stress relaxation during compressive (heating) half cycle at $T_{p}>500^{\circ}C$, which develops tensile mean stress during cycling. Due to the stress relaxation, the TMF test sample reveals much lower dislocation density than the isothermally fatigued sample at the same temperature with $T_{p}$. A detailed correlation between fatigue microstructure and cycling deformation behavior is discussed.

A steel shear wall with double-tapered links and in-plane reference was developed for assisting the assessment of the structural condition of a building after an earthquake while maintaining the original role of the wall as a passive damper device. The double-tapered link subjected to in-plane shear deformation is designed to deform torsionally after the onset of local buckling and works as an indicator of the maximum shear deformation sustained by the shear wall during an earthquake. This paper first examines the effectiveness of double-tapered links in the assessment of the structural condition under various types of loading. A design procedure using a baseline incremental two-cycle loading protocol is verified numerically and experimentally. Meanwhile, in-plane reference links are introduced to double-tapered links and greatly enhance objectivity in the inspection of notable torsional deformation with the naked eye. Finally, a double-layer system, which consists of a layer with double-tapered links and a layer with rectangular links made of low-yield-point steel, is tested to demonstrate the feasibility of realizing both structural condition assessment and enhanced energy dissipation.

The use of cold-formed steel members is increasing day by day, especially in regions where earthquake effects are intensively experienced. Among cold-formed steel members (CFS), "channel" members are used more than other crosssectional members, especially in buildings or industrial structures. In recent years, several studies have been carried out on the axial load and flexural performance of these members under monotonic loading. In this study, CFS beam-column members were cyclically and monotonically loaded under combined axial load and biaxial bending moments, and their buckling behavior, load bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy absorption capacity were determined. For this purpose, monotonic and cyclic loading experiments were carried out on 30 CFS channel members at 15 different eccentricities. Then, material properties were determined by axial monotonic tensile and very low cycle fatigue tests for use in numerical studies. From the experimental results, the buckling modes, bearing capacities, ductility, stiffness, and energy absorption capacities of the members were obtained. The characteristics of the members were compared according to the stress state of the lips. According to the data obtained from the displacement transducer placed on the lips and on the back of the web, information about the buckling mode and curvature of the members was obtained. Finally, monotonic, and cyclic loading results were compared to determine the differences in the buckling behavior of the members.

The rotating components such as turbine rotors in service are generally subjected to multiaxial cyclic loading conditions. The prediction of fatigue lift for turbine rotor components under complex multiaxial loading conditions is very important to prevent the fatigue failures in service. In this paper, axial and torsional low cycle fatigue tests were preformed for 3.5NiCrMo steels serviced low pressure turbine rotor of nuclear power plant. Several methods to predict biaxial fatigue life such as Tresca, von Mises and Brown & Miller's critical plane approach were evaluated to correlate the experimental results for serviced NiCrMoV steel. The fracture mode and fatigue characteristics of NiCrMoV steel were discussed based on the results of fatigue tests performed under the axial and torsional test conditions. In particular, the Brown and Miller's critical plane approach was found to best correlate the experimental data with predictions being within a factor of 2.

This study proposes a low-cycle fatigue life derived from measurement points on pipe elbows, which are components that are vulnerable to seismic load in the interface piping systems of nuclear power plants that use seismic isolation systems. In order to quantitatively define limit states regarding leakage, i.e., actual failure caused by low-cycle fatigue, in-plane cyclic loading tests were performed using a sine wave of constant amplitude. The test specimens consisted of SCH40 6-inch carbon steel pipe elbows and straight pipes, and an image processing method was used to measure the nonlinear behavior of the test specimens. The leakage lines caused by low-cycle fatigue and the low-cycle fatigue curves were compared and analyzed using the relationship between the relative deformation angles, which were measured based on each of the measurement points on the straight pipe, and the moment, which was measured at the center of the pipe elbow. Damage indices based on the combination of ductility and dissipation energy at each measurement point were used to quantitatively express the time at which leakage occurs due to through-wall cracking in the pipe elbow.

재장전노심의 핵연료 장전모형 설계를 위한 기존의 알고리즘 탐색방법의 단점을 보완하기 위한 새로운 경험적 탐색방법을 개발하였다. 노심의 핵연료 장전모형으로 고려될 수 있는 수없이 많은 경우의 수를 줄이기 위하여 일반적 핵연료 배치규칙, 영역별 배치방법 그리고 장전모형의 집단화 방법을 이용하였다. 비슷한 장전모형을 모아서 집단화시키는 기준으로 엔트로피 이론을 이용하였다. 또한 PROLOG언어를 이용하여 주어진 배치규칙에 따라 장전모형을 탐색하는 프로그램을 만들었다. 장전모형들의 노심내 출력분포 해석에는 2군 nodal코드인 MEDIUM-2D를 사용하였다. 이와같은 방법을 사용한 결과 수백개 정도의 장전모형 집단을 찾아낼 수 있었고, 여기에 가연성 독봉 배치규칙에 따라 가연성 독봉을 배치한 결과 장전모형 집단의 수를 수십개까지로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 장전모형 집단들로부터 실제로 이용 가능한 장전모형을 찾아내기 위하여, 주기길이 최대화방법과 첨두 출력 최소화방법을 사용하였다. 그 결과 고리 3호기 제10주기의 예상 재장전모형보다 주기길이는 길고 첨두출력은 낮은 장전모형을 찾아낼 수 있었다.

A computational study of vortex-induced transverse vibrations of a cylinder with low mass-damping is presented. An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation of the Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (URANS), along with the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) one-equation turbulence model, are coupled conservatively with rigid body motion equations of the cylinder mounted on elastic supports in order to study the amplitude and frequency response of a freely vibrating cylinder, its flow-induced motion, Vortex Street, near-wake flow structure, and unsteady loading in a moderate range of Reynolds numbers. The time accurate response of the cylinder from rest to its limit cycle is studied to explore the effects of Reynolds number on the start of large displacements, motion amplitude, and frequency. The computational results are compared with published physical experiments and numerical studies. The maximum amplitudes of displacements computed for various Reynolds numbers are smaller than the experimental values; however, the overall agreement of the results is quite satisfactory, and the upper branch of the limit-cycle displacement amplitude vs. reduced velocity response is captured, a feature that was missed by other studies. Vortex shedding modes, lock-in phenomena, frequency response, and phase angles are also in agreement with experiments.
