Plates are most widely used in the hulls of floating concrete structures, bridge decks, walls of off-shore structures and liquid storage tanks. A method of analysis is presented for the determination of load-deflection response and ultimate strength of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (HSSFRC) plates simply supported on all four edges and subjected to combined action of external compressive in-plane and transverse loads. The behavior of HSSFRC plate specimens subjected to combined uniaxial in-plane and transverse loads was investigated. The proposed analytical method is compared to the physical test results, and shows good agreement. To predict the constitutive behavior of HSSFRC in compression, a non-dimensional characteristic equation was proposed and found to give reasonable accuracy.

The concrete plates are most widely used structural elements in the hulls of floating concrete structures such as concrete barges and pontoons, bridge decks, basement floors and liquid storage tanks. The study on the behavior of high-strength fiber reinforced concrete (HSFRC) plates was carried out to evaluate the performance of plates under in-plane and transverse loads. The plates were tested in simply supported along all the four edges and subjected to in-plane and traverse loads. In this experimental program, twenty four 150 mm diameter cylinders and twelve plate elements of size $600{\times}600{\times}30$ mm were prepared and tested. Water-to-cementitious materials ratios of 0.3 and 0.4 with 10% and 15% silica fume replacements were used in the concrete mixes. The fiber volume fractions, $V_f$ = 0%, 1% and 1.5% with an aspect ratio of 80 were used in this study. The HSFRC mixes had the concrete compressive strengths in the range of 52.5 to 70 MPa, flexural strengths ranging from 6.21 to 11.08 MPa and static modulus of elasticity ranging from 29.68 to 36.79 GPa. In this study, the behavior of HSFRC plate elements subjected to combined uniaxial in-plane and transverse loads was investigated.

A new thermal bimorph actuator for large out-of-plane displacement is designed, fabricated and tested. The deflecting beam is composed of polyimide, heater, and polyvinyl difluorides with tetrafluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE). The large difference of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of two polymer layers (polyimide and PVDF-TrFE) can generate a significant deflection with relatively small temperature rise. Compared to the most conventional micro actuators based on MEMS (micro-electro mechanical system) technology, a large displacement, over 1 mm at 20 mW, could be achieved. Additionally, we can achieve response time of 14.6 ms, resonance frequency of 12 Hz, and reliability ability of $10^5$ cycles. The proposed actuator can find applications where a large vertical displacement is needed while maintaining compact overall device size, such as a micro zooming lens, micro mirror, micro valve and optical application.

본 논문에서는 적층구조 해석을 위해 부분 선형 층별이론에 의해 정식화된 저매개변수 유한요소 모델을 제안한다. 얇은 직교이방성 문제뿐만 아니라, 두꺼운 식교이방성 적층판 해석을 위해 제안된 모델은 2차원 세분화 기법에 기초를 두고 있다. 즉, 이 모델은 두께방향으로의 면내거동에 대해서는 선형변화로 가정하는 층별분리 이론이 적용되고, 두께방향으로의 면외거동에 대해서는 상수로 가정하는 등가단층이론이 사용된다. 변위장을 정의하기 위해 적분형 르장드르 다항식이 사용된다. 또한 가우스-로바토 적분법을 사용하여, 적층평판의 종래의 가우스적분점이 아닌 절점의 위치에 발생하는 최대응력값을 별도의 외삽법을 사용하지 않고 바로 산출하였다. 제안된 모델의 정당성과 특성은 직교이방성 다층적층판 문제를 사용하여 검증되었으며, 그 결과는 출판된 참고문헌의 값들과 비교되었다. 이 연구에서는 최적의 유한요소 적층모델을 결정하기 위해 응력과 최대처짐을 사용한 수렴성조사가 수행되었다. 또한, 적층 수의 증가에 따른 두께방향으로의 변위와 응력분포의 변화가 조사되었다.
