Lighting poles and antenna masts are typically high, slender and light structures. Moreover, they are often characterized by distributed eccentricities that make very complex their shape. Experience teaches that this structural type frequently suffers severe damage and even collapses due to wind actions. To understand and interpret the aerodynamic and aeroelastic behavior of lighting poles and antenna masts, this paper presents the results of static and aeroelastic wind tunnel tests carried out on a complex prismatic element representing a segment of the shaft of such structures. Static tests are aimed at determining the aerodynamic coefficients and the Strouhal number of the test element cross-section; the former are used to evaluate the critical conditions for galloping occurrence based on quasi-steady theory; the latter provides the critical conditions for vortex-induced vibrations. Aeroelastic tests are aimed at reproducing the real behavior of the test element and at verifying the validity and reliability of quasi-steady theory. The galloping hysteresis phenomenon is identified through aeroelastic experiments conducted on increasing and decreasing the mean wind velocity.

Motion characteristics of a planing craft are sensitively changed according to its weight and longitudinal center of gravity. In this paper, planing craft model tests were performed in calm water for various test conditions and Froude numbers. Sinkage and trim were measured to analyze the relations between the attitudes of a planing craft and the weight and center of gravity of it. Theoretical formula for the prediction of the attitudes of a prismatic planing hull was modified so that it can be applied to the prediction of the attitudes of a non-prismatic planing hull, and the calculation results by the modified formula were in good agreements with the experimental data.

In this paper, a unified solution method is presented for the classical beam theory. In Strength of Materials approach, the geometry, material properties and load system are known and related with the unknowns of forces, moments, slopes and deformations by applying a classical differential analysis in addition to equilibrium, constitutive, and kinematic laws. All these relations are expressed in a unified formulation for the classical beam theory. In the special case of simple beams, a system of four linear ordinary differential equations of first order represents the general mechanical behaviour of a straight beam. These equations are solved using the numerical differential quadrature method (DQM). The application of DQM has the advantages of mathematical consistency and conceptual simplicity. The numerical procedure is simple and gives clear understanding. This systematic way of obtaining influence line, bending moment, shear force diagrams and deformed shape for the beams with geometric and load discontinuities has been discussed in this paper. Buckling loads and natural frequencies of any beam prismatic or non-prismatic with any type of support conditions can be evaluated with ease.

In this article, the static behavior of non-prismatic sandwich beams composed of functionally graded (FG) materials is investigated for the first time. Two types of beams in which the variation of elastic modulus follows a power-law form are studied. The principle of minimum total potential energy is applied along with the Ritz method to derive and solve the governing equations. Considering conventional boundary conditions, Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind are used as auxiliary shape functions. The formulation is developed within the framework of well-known Timoshenko and Reddy beam theories (TBT, RBT). Since the beams are simultaneously tapered and functionally graded, bending and shear stress pushover curves are presented to get a profound insight into the variation of stresses along the beam. The proposed formulations and solution scheme are verified through benchmark problems. In this context, excellent agreement is observed. Numerical results are included considering beams with various cross sectional types to inspect the effects of taper ratio and gradient index on deflections and stresses. It is observed that the boundary conditions, taper ratio, gradient index value and core to the thickness ratio significantly influence the stress and deflection responses.

Firstly, a new kind of prismatic tensegrity structures with redundant cables is defined, the topology, geometry and forming conditions of which are introduced further. The development of its mechanical properties including self-stress states and structural stiffness with the increment of the twist angle is also investigated carefully. Combined with the topology of this kind of structures, a reasonable erection scheme is proposed, in which some temporary lifting points need to be set and two groups of vertical cables are tensioned in batches. Then, a simplified dynamic relaxation method is employed to track the erection process inversely, which aims to predict each intermediate equilibrium state during the construction, and give the key structural parameters that can effectively guide the construction. The removal of the active cables, the relaxation or tension of the passive cables are simulated by controlling their axial stiffness, so that the structural composition as well as the serial numbers of the elements always keep invariant regardless of the withdrawal of the slack cables. The whole analysis process is clear in concept, simple to implement and easy to popularize. Finally, several examples are given to verify the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method further.

본 연구는 충청남도 서산시 웅도 백운암에서 산출되는 석면에 대하여 박편관찰, X-선 회절분석, 주사전자현미경 관찰 등을 통해 석면의 광물학적 및 형태적 특성을 규명하고, 백운암의 광물학적 특성과의 상관관계를 통해 석면의 형성과정을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 석면을 함유하고 있는 모암은 열수 변질 및 변성작용을 받았으며, 광물학으로는 주로 백운석과 소량의 방해석, 석영, 활석, 각섬석, 휘석 등으로 이루어진 백운암인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 모암 내 존재하는 석면은 섬유상-침상 입자형태를 가진 양기석-투각섬석계 석면이었으나, 변성정도에 따라 주상 및 침상형태를 가진 비석면형의 양기석-투각섬석도 존재하는 것이 확인되었다. 주상이나 침상 형태의 광물을 전자현미경으로 분석한 결과, 주상의 경우 벽개면을 따라 더 작은 침상 또는 주상의 입자로 쪼개지는 특성을 나타내어, 풍화과정에 의한 쪼개짐 현상에 의해 석면입자로 산출될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 양기석-투각섬석 광물군에서 너비가 $1{\mu}m$ 이하인 휘어진 형태의 섬유상 석면 입자가 발견되었다. 기존 연구에서는 백운암 내에서 거의 발견되지 않았던 석면 입자가 웅도 백운암에서 검출되었고, 광물학적 분석 결과 석면광물은 Ca, Mg를 함유한 백운암질 석회암이 열수 변질을 받는 과정에서 형성되었으며, 주로 양기석-투각섬석 석면형태로 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
