An interface always appears when a repair is applied to an aged infrastructure system for repair. These repaired structures have the high chance to fail along the interface because of the stress concentration/discontinuity along the interface. So, mechanical properties of the interface have much influence on the behavior of repaired structure systems. In this paper, numerical tool that can predict effectively the interfacial fracture behavior is developed using axial deformation link elements, and this numerical technique is applied to the interfacial failure behavior. The results coincide with the ultimate strength and failure profile on the interfacial behavior of carbon fiber sheets for strengthening with epoxy adhesion. Thus, the mechanical behavior of the interface up to failure can be predicted using numerical technique with the proposed axial deformation link elements.

The following are suggested joint distraction and gliding techniques for use by entry level therapists and those attempting to gain a foundation in joint mobilization. A variety of adaptations can be made from these techniques. The distraction and glide techniques should be applied with respect to the dosage, frequency, progression, precautions, and procedures as described in this section. Basic concepts of joint mobilization were presented, including definitions of terminology and the two grading systems. Joint mobilization techniques are one part of a total treatment for decreased function. Therapy should also include appropriate range of motion, strengthening, and functional techniques.

To improve the mechanical properties of most structural materials for industrial applications, the control of microstructure is essential by heat treatment process or plastic deformation process. Since the mechanical behavior of structural materials is significantly influenced by their microstructure, it is inevitably preceded to understand the relationship between microstructure and strengthening mechanisms of materials which can be easily changed by heat treatment. In this regard, the nanoindentation test is useful technique for analyzing the influence of the localized microstructural change on small-scale mechanical behavior of various structural materials. Here, the interesting studies performed on various heat-treated materials are reviewed with focus on micromechanical properties obtained by nanoindentation, which are reported in the available literature.

Tubular joints are used in the construction of offshore structures and other land-based structures because of its ease of fabrication. These joints are subjected to different environmental loadings in their lifetime. At the time of fabrication or modification of an existing offshore platform, tubular joints are usually strengthened to withstand the environmental loads. Currently, various strengthening techniques such as ring stiffeners, gusset plates are employed to strengthen new and existing tubular joints. Due to some limitations with the present practices, some new techniques need to be addressed. Many researchers used Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) to strengthen tubular joints. Some of the studies were focused on axial compression of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) strengthened tubular joints and found that it was an efficient technique. Earlier, the authors had performed studies on Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strengthened tubular joint subjected to axial compression. The study steered to the conclusion that FRP composites is an alternative strengthening technique for tubular joints. In this work, the study was focused on axial compression of Y-joint and in plane and out of plane bending of T-joints. Experimental investigations were performed on these joints, fabricated from ASTM A106 Gr. B steel. Two sets of joints were fabricated for testing, one is a reference joint and the other is a joint strengthened with CFRP. After performing the set of experiments, test results were then compared with the numerical solution in ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL). It was observed that the joints strengthened with CFRP were having improved strength, lesser surface displacement and ovalization when compared to the reference joint.

Ion exchange strengthening is a chemical process whereby large alkali ions(such as potassium) are substituted for smaller ions(sodium) within the surfaces of glasses and ceramics, thereby reducing the thermal expansion coefficient of this surface region, and creating beneficial state of compressive stress within the near surface region. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of ion exchange and etching treatments on the strength of some dental porcelains. Two feldspathic dental porcelains(Vitadur-N, G-Cera) were used in this study. A commercial ion exchange paste and etching gel containing 8% hydrofluoric acid were used for surface conditioning. Transverse strength was measured using a universal testing machine and the technique of EPMA(electron probe micro analysis) was used to access the potassium contents. The results were as follows: 1. Improvement in strength was only obtained by treating the surface placed in tension. 2. No changes in the dimensions of the treated specimens were detected when samples were measured with a micrometer. 3. There was significant increase in transverse strength of G-Cera IV group treated with etching and ion exchange, compared with G-Cera II group only treated with ion exchange. 4. From the results of EPMA test, increase in potassium contents was observed on the surface treated with ion exchange paste.

기존 구조물의 RC 보는 전단내력이 부족한 경우가 빈번히 발생하며, RC 보의 전단파괴거동은 갑작스럽고 취성적이다. 자중의 증가를 줄이면서 전단성능을 향상시키는 보강방법으로 강판, 탄소 판 및 탄소섬유시트 등과 같은 보강재료를 사용하여 전단 내력이 부족한 기존 RC 보의 표면에 고성능 접착제로 부착하는 방법이 실무에서 가장 많이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구는 보강재료로 강판을 사용하며, 보강재료의 형태는 Slit의 크기와 모양으로 다양하게 변화시키고 유닛화하였다. 총16개 실험체에 대하여 전단보강근의 유무, Slit의 형상, 강판두께 등을 변수로 한 실험을 통하여 Slit형 강판으로 전단보강한 RC보에 대한 보강효과, 파괴성상 및 전단내력을 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과 파괴모드는 수직형 Slit(SV시리즈)실험체는 전단파괴를 하였고, 경사형 Slit(SD시리즈)실험체는 휨파괴 양상을 나타내었다. SV시리즈 실험체는 사인장 균열발생과 동시에 Slit 강판이 콘크리트 표면을 물고 떨어지는 부착박리 파괴거동으로 콘크리트 조기파괴를 하였다. SD시리즈 실험체들은 Solid 강판을 부착한 실험체보다 다소 큰 강성과 전단내력을 나타냈다. RC 보의 휨거동을 연성적으로 유도하기위한 전단보강방법은 경사형 Slit 강판의 적용이 효율적이었다.

This study tested whether repeated measurement of median frequency (MDF)-related variables could express the muscle power changes during a 12-week DeLome strengthening program, by using consecutive overlapping FFT (Fast Fourier transformation) and integrated EMG (IEMG) from surface EMG data for isometric and isotonic exercise. To evaluate the effect of training, the following were recorded every 3 weeks for the elbow flexors and knee extensors of 5 healthy male volunteers: MVC, lRM, limb circumference, and surface EMG during isometric MVC or isotonic contraction at 10RM load. From the EMG data, IEMG and variables from a regression analysis between MDF and time were obtained. MVC, lRM, IEMG, and initial MDF increased linearly over the training period. The fatigue index and slope of the regression line increased temporarily until the 6th week and decreased thereafter. From these results, there appeared to be enhanced neural recruitment of fast twitch fibers in the first 6 weeks and continued enhancement in the recruitment and hypertrophy of fast twitch fibers, which led to increased fatigue resistance, over the last 6 weeks. Accordingly, the MDF and IEMG analysis technique could demonstrate the effect of the program detected significant changes in both isometric and isotonic contractions. EMG analysis methods can be used to estimate the electrophysiological and histological changes in skeletal muscles during a strengthening program.

FRP 보강재는 기존 구조물의 보수 및 보강뿐만 아니라 신설구조물의 철근을 대체할 재료로 최근에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 외부에 부착되는 FRP 쉬트 및 판은 콘크리트 보와 슬래브의 휨 및 전단보강을 목적으로 사용되는 가장 일반적인 기술이지만 많은 경우에 있어서 외부에 부착된 FRP 쉬트 및 판이 파괴되기 전에 FRP와 콘크리트 계면에서 부착파괴와 같은 조기파괴가 발생하는 문제점이 대두되어 표면매립공법이 도입되었다. 본 연구에서는 표면매립공법으로 보강된 RC보의 거동 특성 및 보강성능을 파악하기 위해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 표면부착공법과 표면매립공법의 성능을 비교하고 탄소판 및 탄소로드의 매립 개수를 변수로 하여 보강성능을 고찰하였다. 또한 파괴모드 예측을 위해 해석모델을 제안하였다.

Biopolymer treatment of geomaterials to develop sustainable geotechnical systems is an important step towards the reduction of global warming. The cutting edge technology of biopolymer treatment is not only environment friendly but also has widespread application. This paper presents the strength and slake durability characteristics of biopolymer-treated sand sampled from Al-Sharqia Desert in Oman. The specimens were prepared by mixing sand at various proportions by weight of xanthan gum biopolymer. To make a comparison with conventional methods of ground improvement, cement treated sand specimens were also prepared. To demonstrate the effects of wetting and drying, standard slake durability tests were also conducted on the specimens. According to the results of strength tests, xanthan gum treatment increased the unconfined strength of sand, similar to the strengthening effect of mixing cement in sand. The slake durability test results indicated that the resistance of biopolymer-treated sand to disintegration upon interaction with water is stronger than that of cement treated sand. The percentage of xanthan gum to treat sand is proposed as 2-3% for optimal performance in terms of strength and durability. SEM analysis of biopolymer-treated sand specimens also confirms that the sand particles are linked through the biopolymer, which has increased shear resistance and durability. Results of this study imply xanthan gum biopolymer treatment as an eco-friendly technique to improve the mechanical properties of desert sand. However, the strengthening effect due to the biopolymer treatment of sand can be weakened upon interaction with water.
