Surface texturing is widely applied to friction surfaces of various machine elements. Most of the theoretical studies have focused on isothermal (ISO) analyses which consider constant lubricant viscosity. However, there have been limited studies on the effect of oil temperature increase owing to viscous shear. Following the first part of the present study that investigated the effects of film-temperature boundary condition (FTBC) and groove number on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication characteristics of a surface-textured parallel thrust bearing with multiple rectangular grooves, this study focuses on the effect of groove depths. Current study numerically analyzes the continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations with temperature-viscosity-density relations using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, FLUENT. The results of variation in temperature, velocity, and pressure distributions as well as load-carrying capacity (LCC) and friction force indicate that groove depth and FTBC significantly influence the temperature distribution and pressure generation. The LCC is maximum near the groove depth at which the vortex starts, smaller than the ISO result. For intense grooves, the LCC of THD may be larger than that from ISO. The frictional force decreases as the groove becomes deeper, and decreases more significantly in the case of THD. The study shows that groove depth significantly influences the THD lubrication characteristics of surface-textured parallel thrust bearings.

본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하여 견고한 점토에 기시공되어 있는 단독말뚝의 하부에서 실시된 open face 터널굴착에 의한 말뚝의 거동을 분석하였다. 수치해석에서는 터널굴착으로 인한 말뚝의 거동을 규명하기 위하여 지반, 말뚝의 침하 및 전단응력전이 메커니즘을 심도 있게 분석하였다. 터널굴착으로 인해 Greenfield 조건의 지표면의 침하를 크게 초과하는 말뚝침하가 발생하였으며, 말뚝과 인접지반 사이 경계면에서의 전단응력전이현상으로 인해 말뚝에 작용하는 축력의 분포가 매우 크게 변화하였다. 말뚝침하의 증가로 인하여 말뚝의 겉보기지지력(apparent pile capacity)이 약 30% 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 터널굴착에 따른 지중응력 및 변형에 의해 말뚝의 마찰력이 증가하는 현상이 발생하고 이에 따라 말뚝의 축력이 터널의 굴착에 따라 지속적으로 감소하였다. 순수하게 터널굴착에 의하여 단독말뚝에는 설계하중의 최대 21%에 상응하는 인장력이 유발되는 것으로 분석되었다. 말뚝은 터널의 시공이 말뚝의 중심에서 종방향으로 ${\pm}1$-2D (D: 터널직경)에서 실시될 때 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝선단 인근에서는 (-)의 과잉간극수압이 발생하였으며, 말뚝상부 부근에서는 (+)의 과잉간극수압이 발현하였다. 터널굴착에 의한 말뚝의 사용성은 축력변화에 비해서는 말뚝의 침하에 의해 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다.

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a HDD spindle system due to the imperfect roundness of a rotating shaft. The shaft of a spindle motor rotates with eccentricity by the unbalanced mass of the rotating part. The eccentricity generates the run-out of a spindle motor which results in the eccentric motion of a rotating part. Roundness of a shaft affects this motion which limits the memory capacity of a HDD. This research proposes a modified Reynolds equation for the coupled journal and thrust FDBs to include the variable film thickness due to the roundness. Finite element method is used to solve the Reynolds equation for the pressure distribution. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress, respectively. The dynamic behavior is determined by solving the equations of a motion of a HDD spindle system in six degrees of freedom with the Runge-Kutta method to characterize the motion of a rotating part. This research shows that the roundness of a rotating shaft causes the excitation frequency with integer multiple of a rotating frequency.

This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of a tilted HDD spindle system with fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs). Tilting motion of a HDD spindle system may be caused by improper manufacturing tolerance, such as imperfect cylindricity between shaft and sleeve of FDBs, imperfect perpendicularity between shaft and thrust as well as the gyroscopic moment of the unbalanced mass of the rotating part. Tilting motion may result in the instability of the HDD spindle system and it may increase the disk run-out to limit memory capacity. This research proposes a modified Reynolds equation for the coupled journal and thrust FDBs to include the variable film thickness due to the cylindricity and the perpendicularity. Finite element method is used to solve the Reynolds equation for the pressure distribution. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress, respectively. The dynamic behavior is determined by solving the equations of a motion of a HDD spindle system in six degrees of freedom with the Runge-Kutta method to study whirling and tilting motions. This research shows that the cylindricity and the perpendicularity increase the tilting angle and whirl radius of the rotor.

This study presents experimental and numerical investigations on circular steel tube confined ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) columns under axial compression. The plain UHPC without fibers was designed to achieve a compressive strength ranged between 150 MPa and 200 MPa. Test results revealed that loading on only the UHPC core can generate a significant confinement effect for the UHPC core, thus leading to an increase in both strength and ductility of columns, and restricting the inherent brittleness of unconfined UHPC. All tested columns failed by shear plane failure of the UHPC core, this causes a softening stage in the axial load versus axial strain curves. In addition, an increase in the steel tube thickness or the confinement index was found to increase the strength and ductility enhancement and to reduce the magnitude of the loss of load capacity. Besides, steel tube with higher yield strength can improve the post-peak behavior. Based on the test results, the load contribution of the steel tube and the concrete core to the total load was examined. It was found that no significant confinement effect can be developed before the peak load, while the ductility of post-peak stage is mainly affected by the degree of the confinement effect. A finite element model (FEM) was also constructed in ABAQUS software to validate the test results. The effect of bond strength between the steel tube and the UHPC core was also investigated through the change of friction coefficient in FEM. Furthermore, the mechanism of circular steel tube confined UHPC columns was examined using the established FEM. Based on the results of FEM, the confining pressures along the height of each modeled column were shown. Furthermore, the interaction between the steel tube and the UHPC core was displayed through the slip length and shear stresses between two surfaces of two materials.

PHC 말뚝은 압축력 및 휨 모멘트에 대한 저항력이 우수하며, 공장에서의 생산으로 인해 품질 관리가 효율적으로 이루어진다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 다양한 토목 및 건축 현장에서 널리 활용되고 있지만, PHC 말뚝의 설계 과정에서 중요한 요소인 주면 마찰력은 주로 경험식이나 N 값 등의 추정치를 기반으로 하고 있다. 이에 대한 실험적 연구는 상대적으로 부족하며, 환경적 요소 중 하나인 pH 값과 지하수 또는 해수의 영향 역시 간과되는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 진동기계 기초의 영향을 받는 PHC 말뚝 모델을 중심으로 다양한 pH 환경(산성, 중성, 염기성) 및 해수의 영향하에 한 달 동안 수침 후, 해당 PHC 말뚝-사질토의 접촉면에 대한 반복 단순 전단시험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 교란 상태 개념(Disturbed State Concept)을 적용하여 접촉면의 동적 거동을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 화학적 환경에 따른 동적 전단응력은 중성 > 산성 > 염기성 순으로 감소하였다. 또한, pH 영향을 받은 경우와 해수의 영향을 받은 경우를 비교했을 때, pH 영향을 받은 경우에 전단응력의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 현장에서 실규모로 시공된 8본의 강관매입말뚝의 공학적 거동을 정재하시험, 동재하시험(EOID 및 restrike 시험) 및 Class-A 및 C1 type의 수치해석을 수행하여 상세히 고찰하였다. 이를 통해 말뚝의 하중-침하, 설계지지력 및 전단응력 전이 특성 등을 분석하였다. 정재하시험을 통해 평가된 설계지지력에 비해 동재하시험 및 수치해석은 이를 매우 상이하게 평가하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이 가운데 restrike 시험이 전반적으로 최상의 결과를 도출하였고, 수치해석 결과의 신뢰성은 동재하시험에 비해 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 각 시험에서 산정된 설계지지력을 정재하시험의 결과와 비교할 때 EOID는 정재하시험값의 20.0%-181.0%(평균: 69.3%)의 범위를 보였고, restrike 시험의 경우 48.2%-181.1%(평균: 92.1%)의 범위를 보였다. 또한 Class-A type에서는 37.1-210.5%(평균: 121.2%)로 가장 큰 분산을 보였다. EOID 시험에서는 선단지지력이 말뚝의 전체지지력의 대부분을 차지하는데 비해, restrike 시험에서는 주면마찰력 및 선단지지력이 비슷한 정도로 발현되었다. 이때 restrike 시험에서 측정된 선단지지력은 EOID 시험에서 측정된 크기보다 작은 것으로 분석되었다. 즉 restrike 시험에서 타격에너지가 충분하지 않은 경우 말뚝의 선단지지력이 과소평가될 가능성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝의 축력분포로부터 측정된 전단응력은 말뚝의 심도가 깊어질수록 증가하는 양상을 보였으며, 수치해석 결과는 정재하시험과는 상당한 정도의 차이를 보였다. 말뚝선단 인근에 슬라임이 존재하는 경우 말뚝의 거동에 매우 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었는데, 슬라임의 탄성계수가 작을수록 그리고 슬라임의 두께가 두꺼울수록 말뚝의 침하량이 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

The nodular diaphragm wall (NDW) is a novel type of foundation with favorable engineering characteristics, which has already been utilized in high-rise buildings and high-speed railways. Compared to traditional diaphragm walls, the NDW offers significantly improved vertical bearing capacity due to the presence of nodular parts while reducing construction time and excavation work. Despite its potential, research on the vertical bearing characteristics of NDW requires further study, and the investigation and visualization of its displacement pattern and failure mode are scant. Meanwhile, the measurement of the force component acting on the nodular parts remains challenging. In this paper, the vertical bearing characteristics of NDW are studied in detail through the indoor model test, and the displacement and failure mode of the foundation is analyzed using particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology. The principles and methods for monitoring the force acting on the nodular parts are described in detail. The research results show that the nodular part plays an essential role in the bearing capacity of the NDW, and its maximum load-bearing ratio can reach 30.92%. The existence of the bottom nodular part contributes more to the bearing capacity of the foundation compared to the middle nodular part, and the use of both middle and bottom nodular parts increases the bearing capacity of the foundation by about 9~12% compared to a single nodular part of the NDW. The increase in the number of nodular parts cannot produce a simple superposition effect on the resistance born by the nodular parts since the nodular parts have an insignificant influence on the exertion and distribution of the skin friction of NDW. The existence of the nodular part changes the displacement field of the soil around NDW and increases the displacement influence range of the foundation to a certain extent. For NDWs with three different nodal arrangements, the failure modes of the foundations appear to be local shear failures. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the performance and behavior of NDWs, which will aid in their effective utilization and further research in the field.

In sliding bearings, viscous friction due to high shear acting on the bearing surface raises the oil temperature. One of the mechanisms responsible for generating the load-carrying capacity in parallel surfaces is known as the viscosity wedge effect. In this paper, we investigate the effect of film-temperature boundary conditions on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication of parallel slider bearings. For this purpose, the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equation, and the energy equation with temperature-viscosity-density relations are numerically analyzed using the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT. Two different film-temperature boundary conditions are adopted to investigate the pressure generation mechanism. The temperature and viscosity distributions in the film thickness and flow directions were obtained, and the factors related to the pressure generation in the equation of motion were examined in detail. It was confirmed that the temperature gradients in the film and flow directions contribute heavily to the thermal wedge effect, due to which parallel slider bearing can not only support a considerable load but also reduce the frictional force, and its effect is significantly changed with the film-temperature boundary conditions. The present results can be used as basic data for THD analysis of surface-textured sliding bearings; however, further studies on various film-temperature boundary conditions are required.

This paper presents a computational rational model to predict the ultimate and optimized load capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by a combination of longitudinal and transverse fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite plates/sheets (flexure and shear strengthening system). Several experimental and analytical studies on the confinement effect and failure mechanisms of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapped columns have been conducted over recent years. Although typical axial members are large-scale square/rectangular reinforced concrete (RC) columns in practice, the majority of such studies have concentrated on the behavior of small-scale circular concrete specimens. A high performance concrete, known as polymer concrete, made up of natural aggregates and an orthophthalic polyester binder, reinforced with non-metallic bars (glass reinforced polymer) has been studied. The material is described at micro and macro level, presenting the key physical and mechanical properties using different experimental techniques. Furthermore, a full description of non-metallic bars is presented to evaluate its structural expectancies, embedded in the polymer concrete matrix. In this paper, the mechanism of mechanical interaction of smooth and lugged FRP rods with concrete is presented. A general modeling and application of various elements are demonstrated. The contact parameters are defined and the procedures of calculation and evaluation of contact parameters are introduced. The method of calibration of the calculated parameters is presented. Finally, the numerical results are obtained for different bond parameters which show a good agreement with experimental results reported in literature.
