The shape and size of the plastic zone around the crack tip are analyzed under pure mode I, pure mode II and mixed mode (I+II) loading for small scale yielding and for both plane stress and plane strain conditions. A new analytical formulation is presented to determine the radius of the plastic zone in a non-dimensional form. In particular, the effect of T-stress on the plastic zone around the crack tip is studied. The results of this investigation indicate that the stress field with a T-stress always yields a larger plastic zone than the field without a T-stress. It is found that under predominantly mode I loading, the effect of a negative T-stress on the size of the plastic zone is more dramatic than a positive T-stress. However, when mode II portion of loading is dominating the effect of both positive and negative T-stresses on the size of the plastic zone is almost equal. For validating the analytical results, several finite element analyses were performed. It is shown that the results obtained by the proposed analytical formulation are in very good agreements with those obtained from the finite element analyses.

Supported by recent literature on the signs of aging of the middle and lower face, our clinical research has documented a loss of volume of the deep structural components of the central face and a progressive descent of the nasolabial fat and the jowl fat, leading to facial fragmentation. The signs that appear around the age of 45 to 50 years are well targeted by the mini-invasive technique described here. We focused on refitting the jowl fat and the nasolabial fat associated with cutaneous tightening. The use of absorbable barbed sutures (Quill) led to significant improvements, enabling the fitting of fat on fat. In the past 4 years, 167 operations were performed using this technique. The clinical results were very satisfactory, yielding a natural effect caused by the mobilization and strong fixation of the nasolabial fat and the jowl fat in the direction opposite to their displacement.

Application of "advanced analysis" methods suitable for non-linear analysis and design of steel frame structures permits direct and accurate determination of ultimate system strengths, without resort to simplified elastic methods of analysis and semi-empirical specification equations. However, the application of advanced analysis methods has previously been restricted to steel frames comprising only compact sections that are not influenced by the effects of local buckling. A concentrated plasticity method suitable for practical advanced analysis of steel frame structures comprising non-compact sections is presented in this paper. The pseudo plastic zone method implicitly accounts for the effects of gradual cross-sectional yielding, longitudinal spread of plasticity, initial geometric imperfections, residual stresses, and local buckling. The accuracy and precision of the method for the analysis of steel frames comprising non-compact sections is established by comparison with a comprehensive range of analytical benchmark frame solutions. The pseudo plastic zone method is shown to be more accurate and precise than the conventional individual member design methods based on elastic analysis and specification equations.

본 연구에서는 말뚝재료의 항복거동 및 기하학적 비선형 거동인 P-${\Delta}$ 효과를 고려한 변단면 단일 현장타설말뚝의 거동특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 실제 시공된 현장타설말뚝에 대한 말뚝재료의 균열 휨모멘트 및 균열 수평하중을 산정하였고, 국내 외에서 적용하고 있는 대표적인 수평변위 기준과의 비교분석을 수행하였다. 또한 구조적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 설계자료를 토대로 재료 및 지반조건을 반영한 현장타설말뚝의 거동을 예측하여 변단면 설계의 타당성을 검토하였다. 분석 결과, 재료의 항복거동과 P-${\Delta}$ 효과 고려시, 이를 고려하지 않는 경우와 비교하여 최대 모멘트가 지표면 부근에서 발생하여 소성힌지 위치에 영향을 주는 것을 나타났으며, 말뚝의 재료파괴는 주로 기둥부의 단면적이 작은 말뚝-기둥 접합부에서 발생하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 주로 말뚝이 수평변위 기준에 도달하기 전에 재료의 파괴가 먼저 발생하기 때문에 말뚝의 항복효과를 고려해야 함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과, 변단면 단일 현장타설말뚝의 설계 시 불확실성을 고려하여 지지력을 과소평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 말뚝재료의 항복거동 및 기하학적 비선형 거동인 P-${\Delta}$ 효과를 고려한 해석기법을 통하여 거동특성을 정확히 예측한다면 경제적인 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Microstructure and tensile strength of the vacuum brazed stainless steel were investigated in this study. For vacuum brazing of the stainless steel 303 and 304, the BNi-2, 3, 4 and 7 were used as filler metals. Among these filler metals, the BNi-2 showed excellent wettability at $1050^{\circ}C$. Indeed, the brazed stainless steel using the BNi-2 showed the highest tensile strength (483 MPa) among all brazed specimens. This is attributed to degree of interfacial reaction between the filler metal and stainless steel. Brazed stainless steel with BNi-2, 3 filler metals showed almost elastic deformation followed by plastic yielding and strain hardening up to a peak stress. On the other hand, it is likely that the fracture of the brazed specimens with BNi-4, 7 was occurred in elastic range without plastic yielding up to a peak stress.

공용하중의 증가 등에 따른 교량 바닥판의 성능향상 시 바닥판 두께, 콘크리트 강도, 철근강도 그리고 철근비와 더불어 보강재비에 의하여 바닥판의 파괴양상은 바뀌어 질 수 있다. 일반적으로 교량 바닥판의 파괴양상은 주철근 및 배력철근의 항복 이후에 펀칭전단파괴가 발생하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 외부부착공법을 적용함에 있어서 이러한 파괴양상을 유지해야 될 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 바닥판에 사용된 철근비 및 보강재비 등을 주요변수로 하여 항복선 이론 및 소성 펀칭모델 등을 적용한 항복강도 및 파괴강도를 해석하였으며, 철근비에 따른 임계보강재량을 제안하였다.

Plastic deformation of link beams in eccentrically braced frames is the primary dissipating source of seismic energy. Despite the excellent compatibility with the architectural designs, previous researches indicate the deficiency of flexural yielding links compared to the shear yielding ones because of their localized plastic deformation. Previous investigations have shown that implementing web openings in beams could be an efficient method to improve the seismic performance of moment-resisting connections. Accordingly, this research investigates the use of flexural links with stiffened and un-stiffened web openings to eliminate localized plasticity at the ends of the link. For this purpose, the numerical models are generated in finite element software "Abaqus" and verified against experimental data gathered from other studies. Models are subjected to cyclic displacement history to evaluate their behavior. Failure of the numerical models under cyclic loading is simulated using a micromechanical based damage model known as Cyclic Void Growth Model (CVGM). The elastic stiffness and the strength-based and CVGM-based inelastic rotation capacity of the links are compared to evaluate the studied models' seismic response. The results of this investigation indicate that some of the flexural links with edge stiffened web openings show increased inelastic rotation capacity compared to an un-perforated link.

Visco-Plastic Damper (VPD) as a passive energy dissipation device with dual behavior has been recently numerically studied. It consists of two bent steel plates and segments with a viscoelastic solid material in between, combining and improving characteristics of both displacement-dependent and velocity-dependent devices. In order to trust the performance of VPD, for the 1st time this paper experimentally investigates prototype damper behavior under a wide range of frequency and amplitude of dynamic loading. A high-axial damping rubber is innovatively proposed as the viscoelastic layer designed to withstand large axial strains and dissipate energy accordingly. Test results confirmed all assumptions about VPD. The behavior of VPD subjected to low levels of excitation is elastic while with increasing levels of excitation, a significant source of energy dissipation is provided through the yielding of the steel elements in addition to the viscoelastic energy dissipation. The results showed energy dissipation of 99.35 kN.m under a dynamic displacement with 14.095 mm amplitude and 0.333 Hz frequency. Lateral displacement at the middle of the device was created with an amplification factor obtained ranging from 2.108 to 3.242 in the rubber block. Therefore, the energy dissipation of viscoelastic material of VPD was calculated 18.6 times that of the ordinary viscoelastic damper.

철근콘크리트 부재는 연성파괴를 유도하기 위해서 휨인장 파괴가 선행 하도록 구조설계한다. 또한 보에서 파괴가 진행하도록 하여 기둥에는 피해가 적게 발생하도록 한다. 하지만 소성붕괴메카니즘에 의하여 소성힌지는 보의 양단부에 발생한 이후 최종적으로 최하층 기둥의 하부에도 발생한다. 철근콘크리트 구조물의 최하층 기둥은 축력이 크게 작용하고 전단경간이 비교적 작기 때문에 휨항복을 했다고 하더라도 최종적으로는 전단파괴하거나 부차파괴하여 설계보다 취성적으로 파괴 할 가능성이 있다. 이 논문에서는 휨항복 후 전단파괴하는 10개의 실험체를 통해 소성힌지 영역의 변형율과 길이 확장에 주는 요소에 대해 파악하였다. 실험결과 세 변수 중에서 축력이 가장 크게 영향을 미쳤는데 축력이 클수록 축방향 변형률과 연성비가 뚜렷하게 줄어드는 현상을 확인할 수 있었으며 소성힌지 길이는 약간 늘어났다. 실험을 통해서 산출한 소성힌지 길이는 약 0.7~1.4d였으며 이는 기존 연구자들이 제안했던 평가식과 차이를 보여주었다.
