  • The modified Cam clay (MCC) model is used to study the response of virgin compressed clay in undrained compression. The MCC deviatoric stress-strain relationship is obtained in closed form. Elastic and plastic deviatoric strains are taken into account in the analysis. For the determination of the elastic strain components, both a variable shear modulus and constant shear modulus are considered. Constitutive relationships are applied to the well-known London and Weald clays sheared in undrained compression.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of a Korean red pepper variety for particle behavior analysis. Methods: Poisson's ratio, modulus of elasticity, shear modulus, density, coefficient of restitution, and coefficient of friction were derived for "AR Legend," which is a domestic pepper variety. The modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio were measured through a compression test using a texture analyzer. The shear modulus was calculated from the modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio. The density was measured using a water pycnometer method. The coefficient of restitution was measured using a collision test, and the static and dynamic friction coefficients were measured using a inclined plane test. Each test was repeated 3-5 times except for density measurement, and the results were analyzed using mean values. Results: Poisson's ratios for the pepper fruit and pepper stem were 0.295 and 0.291, respectively. Elastic moduli of the pepper fruit and pepper stem were $1.152{\times}10^7Pa$ and $3.295{\times}10^7Pa$, respectively, and the shear moduli of the pepper fruit and pepper stem were $4.624{\times}10^6Pa$ and $1.276{\times}10^7Pa$, respectively. The density of the pepper fruit and the pepper stem were $601.8kg/m^3$ and $980.4kg/m^3$, respectively. The restitution coefficients between pepper fruits, pepper stems, a pepper fruit and a pepper stem, a pepper fruit and plastic, and a pepper stem and plastic were 0.383, 0.218, 0.277, 0.399, and 0.148, respectively. The coefficients of static friction between pepper fruits, pepper stems, a pepper fruit and a pepper stem, a pepper fruit and plastic, and a pepper stem and plastic were 0.455, 0.332, 0.306, 0.364, and 0.404, respectively. The coefficients of dynamic friction between a pepper fruit and plastic and a pepper stem and plastic were 0.043 and 0.034, respectively.

  • This paper deals with the structural analysis of wind turbine blades considering the bi-modulus property of CFRP, known as a more economic and efficient material for very large blades. The bi-modulus property is an unique characteristic of CFRP that shows higher tensile modulus than compressive modulus. Due to this characteristic, it is needed to apply the bi-modulus property to the computational analysis of CFRP blades to achieve more accurate results. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to apply the bi-modulus property of CFRP in a numerical simulation. To demonstrate the bi-modulus effect in FE analysis, the actual bi-modulus of CFRP was measured and applied to the structural analysis of a wind turbine blade. Moreover, the effects of the proposed method were evaluated by comparing the analysis results with actual full-scale blade static test results. As a result, it was verified that the proposed method could appropriately simulate the bi-modulus during FE analysis. Moreover, the accuracy of blade structural analysis was improved in accordance with the application of the bi-modulus property.

  • The role of elastic/plastic mismatch on the contact crack initiation is investigated for designing desirable surface-coated asymmetric layered composites. Various layered composites such as $Si_3N_4$ ceramics on $Si_3N_4+BN$ composite, soda-lime glass on various substrates with different elastic modulus for the analysis. Spherical indentation is conducted for producing contact cracks from the surface or interface between the coating and the substrate layer. A finite element analysis of the stress fields in the loaded layer composites enables a direct correlation between the damage patterns and the stress distributions. Implications of these conclusions concerning the design of asymmetric layered composites indicate that the elastic modulus mismatch is one of the important parameter for designing layered composite to prevent the initiation of contact cracks.

  • This paper concerns the mechanical properties of recycled plastic fiber-reinforced concrete. It presents experimental research results of recycled fiber-reinforced concrete with fiber volume fractions of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2%. Experiments were performed to measure mechanical properties such as compressive strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength, and length changes. The results show that both compressive strength and elastic modulus decreased as fiber volume fraction increased. In addition, the experimental results show that recycled fiber-reinforced concrete is in favor of split tensile strength, flexural tensile strength, characteristic regarding crack mouth opening displacement, and length changes. The results of this study can be used to provide realistic information for modeling of mechanical properties in recycled plastic fiber-reinforced concrete in the future.

  • The main goal of this study was to analyze the effect of process additives, i.e. maleated polypropylene (MAPP), and nucleating agent on the viscoelastic properties of different types of extruded polypropylene-wood plastic composites manufactured from either PP homopolymer, high crystallinity PP or PP impact copolymer using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. And also, the esterification reaction between wood flour and maleated polypropylene, and its role in determining the mechanical properties of wood flour-polypropylene composites was investigated. The wood plastic composites were manufactured using 60% pine wood flour and 40% polypropylene on a Davis-Standard $Woodtruder^{TM}$. Dynamic mechanical thermal properties, polymer damping peaks(than ${\delta}$), storage modulus (E') and loss modulus (E") were measured using a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer. XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), also known as ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) study of wood flour treated with MAPP was performed to obtain information on the chemical nature of wood fiber before and after treatment. To analyze the effect of frequency on the dynamic mechanical properties of the various composites, DMA tests were performed over a temperature range of -20 to $100^{\circ}C$, at four different frequencies (1, 5, 10 and 25 Hz), and at a heating rate of $5^{\circ}C/min$. From these results, the activation energy of the various composite was measured using an Arrhenius relationship to investigate the effect of maleated PP and nucleating agent on the measurement of the interphase between the wood and plastic of the extruded polypropylene wood plastic composites.

  • Strain-based criteria are known as a direct method in determining the stability of the geomechanical structures. In spite of the widely use of Sakurai critical strain criterion, it is so conservative to make use of them in rocks with initial plastic deformation on account of the considerable difference between the failure and critical strains. In this study, a new criterion has been developed on the basis of the failure strain to attain more reasonable results in determining the stability status of the tunnels excavated in the rocks mostly characterized by plastic-elastic/plastic behavior. Firstly, the stress-strain curve was obtained having conducted uniaxial compression strength tests on 91 samples of eight rock types. Then, the initial plastic deformation was omitted making use of axis translation technique and the criterion was presented allowing for the modified secant modulus and by use of the failure strain. The results depicted that the use of failure strain criterion in such rocks not only decreases the conservativeness of the critical strain criterion up to 42%, but also it determines the stability status of the tunnel more accurately.

  • The disposal of polythene waste and fly ash is causing serious threat to the environment. Aim of this study is to decrease environmental pollution by using polythene waste and fly ash in concrete. In this study, cement was partially replaced with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% fly ash (by weight) and plastic waste was added in shredded form at 0.6% by weight of concrete. The specimens were prepared for the concrete mix of M25 grade and water to cementitious material ratio (w/c) was maintained as 0.45. Fresh concrete property like workability was examined during casting the specimens. Hardened properties were found out by carrying out the experimental work on cubes, cylinders and beams which were cast in laboratory and their behavior under test were observed at 7 & 28 days for compressive strength and at 28 days for density, flexural strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, abrasion resistance, water permeability and impact resistance. Overall results of this study show that addition of 0.6% (by weight of the concrete) plastic waste with 10% (by weight of cement) replacement of cement by fly ash result an improvement in properties of the concrete than conventional mix.

  • In the conventional linear elasticity, ultrasonic velocity is determined by elastic modulus and density of te medium which ultrasonic wave propagates through. But, practical ultrsonic wave depends on the stress acting in the medium, and as the stress increases such dependency becomes nonlinear. This nonlinear dependencyof ultrasonic velocity on stress can be identified by using nonlinear elastic modulus up to 4th order. In thid paper, with the above background relationships between nonlinear elastic modulus and the internalstatus of materials, normal, plastic deformed or heat stressed, are discussed. For this purpose, a new type of measuring system extended from the general nondestructive UT(ultrasonic test) equipment is constructed.
