본 연구에서는 자동차 코일스프링을 대상으로 CFRP 복합재 재료의 적용가능성을 제시하였다. 기존 강재료를 복합재로 대체해서 대폭적인 경량화를 추구하기 위해서는 재료특성 뿐만 아니라 스프링의 설계인자들도 함께 최적화를 해야 할 것이다. 따라서 먼저 복합재 코일스프링의 전단특성을 고려해서 최대 비틀림강성을 나타내도록 45도로 와인딩한 봉 구조물을 구성하였으며, 예측된 전단탄성계수를 시험결과와 비교한 결과 매우 근사한 값을 나타내었다. 다음으로 45도로 와인딩된 CFRP 복합재 스프링의 소선직경을 결정하기 위해서 비틀림 강성을 강재와 복합재 두 재료에 대해서 동일하게 하였으며, 그 결과, 소선직경은 11.0 mm에서 17.5mm로 재료가 복합재로 변경됨에 따라서 증가되어야 한다. 마지막으로 이 같이 구성된 복합재 코일스프링의 유한요소모델을 구성해서 스프링상수를 계산하였으며, 시험결과와 비교 평가하였다.

내진 보강용 이력 댐퍼로 활용하기 위해 개발된 좌굴방지가새는 일본과 미국을 중심으로 활발히 연구되어 왔다. 좌굴방지가새는 일반적으로 심재와 외피 사이를 콘크리트 등으로 채워 제작된다. 좌굴방지가새에 콘크리트를 채우는 일은 습식 공정으로 제작 효율을 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 하나의 원인으로 심재와 콘크리트의 비부착 처리는 쉽지 않은 작업이다. 이를 개선하기 위해 반원형 스프링으로 심재를 횡지지하는 건식형 좌굴방지가새를 제안하였다. 건식형 좌굴방지가새를 실용화하기 위해 적절한 거동을 갖는 반원형 스프링의 형상을 해석적으로 조사하였다. 심재가 압축을 받아 고차모드로 좌굴하기 위해 필요로 하는 횡지지 강성과 강도를 이론적으로 평가하였다. 또한 실제 적용 조건을 반영하여 반원형 스프링의 실용적 소요강성와 강도를 계산하였다. 이 값을 기준으로 5가지 높이를 변수로 한 반원형 스프링의 비선형 좌굴해석을 통해 적절한 강종과 두께를 선정하였다. 끝으로 최종 선정된 반원형 스프링의 거동을 반영하여 이차원으로 모델링한 건식형 좌굴방지가새의 비선형 좌굴해석을 통해 건식형 좌굴방지가새의 좌굴강도는 반원형 스프링 사이의 거리를 좌굴 길이로 갖는 심재의 좌굴하중과 유사함을 확인하였다.

This study investigates a new seismic retrofit system that utilizes rotational friction dampers and axial springs. The retrofit system involves a steel frame with rotational friction dampers (RFD) at beam-column joints and linear springs at the corners, providing energy dissipation and self-centering capabilities to existing structures. The axial spring acts as a self-centering mechanism that eliminates residual deformations, while the friction damper mitigates seismic damage. To evaluate the seismic performance of the proposed retrofit system, a series of cyclic loading tests were carried out on a steel beam-column subassembly equipped with the proposed devices. An analytical model was then developed to validate the experimental results. A performance point ratio (PPR) was presented to optimize the design parameters of the retrofit system, and a performance-based seismic design strategy was developed based on the PPR. The retrofit system's effectiveness and the presented performance-based design approach were evaluated through case study models, and the analysis results demonstrated that the developed retrofit system and the performance-based design procedure were effective in retrofitting structures for multi-level design objectives.

The possibility of detecting a crack in L-shaped pipes filled with fluid based on measurement of transverse natural frequencies is examined. The problem is solved by representing the crack by a massless rotational spring, simulating the out-of-plane transverse vibration only without solving the coupled torsional vibration and using the transfer matrix method for solution of the governing equation. The theoretical solutions are verified by experiments. The cracks considered are external, circumferentially oriented and have straight front. Pipes made of aluminium and mild steel are tested with water as internal fluid. Crack size to pipe thickness ratio ranging from 0.20 to 0.57 and fluid (gauge) pressure in the range of 0 to 10 atmospheres are examined. The rotational spring stiffness is obtained by an inverse vibration analysis and deflection method. The details of the two methods are given. The results by the two methods are presented graphically and show good agreement. Crack locations are also determined by the inverse analysis. The maximum absolute error in the location is 13.80%. Experimentally determined variation of rotational spring stiffness with ratio of crack size to thickness is utilized to predict the crack sizes. The maximum absolute errors in prediction of crack size are 17.24% and 16.90% for aluminium and mild steel pipes respectively.

A leaf spring, especially the longitudinal type is liable and persistent element in automotive suspension system. In the present scenario the composite materials are widely used in the automobile industries has shown a great interest in the replacement of steel spring due to high strength by weight ratio. Previous investigations focused on stresses and displacement analysis of single leaf spring for different materials. The present work aims to design and analysis of leaf spring for two different cases by considering the Young's modulus to yield strength ratio. In the first case the analysis deals with the design and analysis of a single cantilever solid triangle beam which is an equivalent beam of a spring with three leaves having uniform strength. In the second case a 3-beams of rectangular cross section has been considered which is equivalent to a spring with three leaves. The analysis was carried out based on contact mechanics approach. The results were compared, that the fiberglass composite leaf spring is suitable for high loading capacity, reliability and efficiency.

In this paper, a modified rigid body spring model (RBSM) is proposed and used to analyze the damage and failure process of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In the proposed model, the concrete is represented by an assembly of rigid blocks connected with a uniform distribution of normal and tangential springs to simulate the macroscopic mechanical behavior of concrete. Steel bars are evenly dispersed into rigid blocks as a kind of homogeneous axial material, and an additional uniform distribution of axial and dowel springs is defined to consider the axial stiffness and dowel action of steel bars. Perfect bond between the concrete and steel bars is assumed, and tension stiffening effect of steel bars is modeled by adjusting the constitutive relationship for the tensile reinforcement. Adjacent blocks are allowed to separate at the contact interface, which makes it convenient and easy to simulate the cracking process of concrete. The failure of the springs is determined by the Mohr-Coulomb type criterion with the tension and compression caps. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by elastic analyses of a cantilever beam under different loading conditions and failure analyses of a RC beam under two-point loading.

Recently the steel parts used in automobiles are required to be used under high stress more than ever before due to the need of keeping the weight down. To achieve this requirement of the high strength steel, it must be necessary to decrease inclusion contents and surface defects as like decarburization, surface roughness etc. In this study, the surface conditions are measured to know the influence on fatigue properties by two cases of two-stage shot peening and single-stage shot peening. And for this study, three kinds of spring steel (JISG408l-SUP7, SAE 9254 and DIN 50CrV4) are shaped. This study shows the outstanding improvement of fatigue properties at the case of two-stage shot peening in the rotating bending fatigue test and it results from (1) decreasing the surface roughness (2) unchanging the surface hardness (3) increasing the compressive residual stress. Moreover, results also show fatigue failures originated at the inclusion near the surface, and this inclusion type is turned out to be an alumina of high hardness.
