We investigate the characteristics of the surface mode formed at the single interface between dual singly negative medium layers. It is shown that the interface can support a mode which has polarization degeneracy and a vanishing propagation constant. That is, this surface mode is a polarization-independent one that does not propagate at all through the interface. The corresponding electric and magnetic field distributions become static along the longitudinal (guiding) direction (but not along the transverse direction) resulting in the formation of transverse-electric/longitudinalmagnetic or transverse-magnetic/longitudinal-electric modes.

Three-dimensional turbulent flows over ship sterns are measured by using the hot-wire anemometer and static holes in the wind tunnel. A conventional stern and a barge-type stern are adopted for the present study. Three components of mean velocities, pressures on the hull and six components of Reynolds stresses are measured. Longitudinal velocity contours are more parallel to the hull surface and weak bilge vortices appear on the barges type stern rather than the conventional stern. Those viscous flow patterns may have close relations to improvements of the resistance and propulsion performance, which have been verified in the towing tests. Measured data files are valuable for the ensuing numerical studies.

This is the second of two part series on experimental studies of grout type transverse joints. In this paper, grout-type transverse joints between precast concrete slabs are tested to study the fatigue behavior. The tests are per-formed with loading equipment designed and constructed especially in the lab to introduce shear fatigue failures on the joints of the test specimens with repeated loads. Non-prestressed as well as prestressed specimens are selected based on static tests and these specimens are studied to identify the effect of prestress on the fatigue strength of the grout type joint. A comparison between prestressed and non-prestressed specimens indicates that longitudinal prestressing is an effective method to increase fatigue strength of the transverse joints. Based on the fatigue test, a rational estimation of the fatigue strength is proposed to aid design of the grout-type transverse joints.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and make a comparison between the Ordinary Moment Resisting Frames using different analytical joint model for the Nonlinear response. For this purpose, 3-story structure was designed according to NEHRP 1994 Guidelines. And the center-line dimension model and model considering panel zone were used as analytical model for the structure. Nonlinear Static Procedure and Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure were used to evaluate seismic capacities and demands. The limitation in FEMA 273 was used as the variable number to predicte seismic demands of OMRFs. This analytical studies were performed with DRAIN-2DX modified by Shan Shi. Using the above results, the performance evaluation and seismic demands of OMRFs shall be performed. Finally NSP and NDP shall be compared.

The paper intends to summarize some guidelines for future smart structure system application in military aircraft. This preview of system integration is based upon a review on approximately one and a half decades of application oriented aerospace related smart structures research. Achievements in the area of structural health monitoring, adaptive shape, adaptive load bearing devices and active vibration control have been reached, potentials have been identified, several feasibility studies have been performed and some smart technologies have been already implemented. However the realization of anticipated visions and previously initial timescales announced have been rather too optimistic. The current development shall be based on a more realistic basis including more emphasis on fundamental aircraft strength, stiffness, static and dynamic load and stability requirements of aircraft and interdisciplinary integration requirements and improvements of integrated actors, actuator systems and control systems including micro controllers.

Masonry infill has a significant effect on stiffness contribution, strength and ductility of masonry-infilled frames. These effects may cause damage of weak floor, torsional damage or short-column failure in structures. This article presents experiments of 1/2.5-scale steel reinforced recycled aggregates concrete (SRRC) frames. Three specimens, with different infill rates consisted of recycled concrete hollow bricks (RCB), were subjected to static cyclic loads. Test phenomena, hysteretic curves and stiffness degradation of the composite structure were analyzed. Furthermore, effects of axial load ratio, aspect ratio, infill thickness and steel ratio on the share of horizontal force supported by the frame and the infill were obtained in the numerical example.

Different mathematical models are proposed and their analytical solutions derived for the analysis of linear elastic Reissner's multilayer beams. The models take into account different combinations of contact plane conditions, different material properties of individual layers, different transverse shear deformations of each layer, and different boundary conditions of the layers. The analytical studies are carried out to evaluate the influence of different contact conditions on the static and kinematic quantities. A considerable difference of the results between the models is obtained.

An investigation on the combined effect of foundation type, foundation flexibility, axial load and PR (semi-rigid) connections on the natural frequencies of steel frames is presented. These effects were investigated using a suitable modified FE program for cases where the foundation flexibility, foundation connectivity, and semi-rigid connections could be treated as equivalent linear springs. The effect of axial load on the natural frequency of a structure was found to be significant for slender structures subjected to high axial loads. In general, if columns of medium slenderness are designed without consideration of axial load effects, the frequency of the structure will be overestimated. Studies on the 3-story Los Angeles PR SAC frame indicate that the assumption of rigid connections at beam-column and column-base interfaces, as well as the assumption of a rigid foundation, can lead to significant errors if simplified design procedures are used. These errors in an equivalent static analysis are expected to lead to even more serious problems when considering the effect of higher modes under a non-linear dynamic analysis.

Metallic glasses are amorphous meta-stable solids and are now being processed in bulk form suitable for structural applications including impact. Bulk metallic glasses have many unique mechanical properties such as high yield strength and fracture toughness, good corrosion and wear resistance that distinguish them from crystalline metals and alloys. However, only a few studies could be found mentioning the dynamic response and damage of metallic glasses under impact or shock loading. In this study, we employed a small explosive detonator for the dynamic indentation on a Zr-based bulk amorphous metal in order to evaluate the damage behavior of bulk amorphous metal under impact loading. These results were compared with those of spherical indentation under quasi-static and impact loading. The interface bonded specimens were adopted to observe the appearances of subsurface damage induced during indentation under different loading conditions.

Recently, right rail transit (L.R.T.) systems become influential as a new traffic system in urban area to solve heavy traffic problems. However, there are little research results about the dynamic interaction problems between the vehicle and structural system, even though some studies far those static problems have been carried out. Therefore, first of ail, the dynamic equations of an interaction between vehicle system and surface roughness of the vehicle path are derived before developing the dynamic equations of vehicle-structure-surface roughness system, in this study. As a vehicle model, an automated guide-way transit (A.G.T.) system is adopted. Parametric study shows that the dynamic wheel loads of the vehicle system has a tendency to increase with vehicle speeds and stiffness of suspension system. However, those dynamic wheel loads have tendencies to decrease in according to loads of the vehicle system.
