The objective of this research is to study the ultimate moment capacity of the connections between steel I-beams and concrete-filled steel tube columns using different stiffener configurations. The main parameters considered are column cross section shape, square or circular, and filling the column with concrete. This analytical study includes finite element models using ANSYS program taking geometric and material nonlinearities into consideration. These models are verified against the experimental results obtained from previous researches and current design guides. The results show that using proper stiffener configuration affects the stress distribution through the connection and increases the ultimate moment capacity of the connections. Also, circular column is advantageous than the square column for all stiffener configurations and dimensions.

Fatigue cracks in structural components are the most common cause of structural failure when exposed to fatigue loading. In this respect, fatigue crack detection and structural health assessment are very important. Currently, various smart materials are used for detecting fatigue crack and measurement of SIFs(Stress Intensity Factors). So, this paper presented a measurement of SIFs using MFC(Micro Fiber Composite) sensor which is the one of the smart material. MFC sensor is more flexible, durable and reliable than other smart materials. The SIFs of Mode I(K I) as well as Mode II(K II) based on the piezoelectric constitutive law and fracture mechanics are calculated. In this study, the SIF values measured by MFC sensors are compared with the theoretical results.

Various structural materials have been used in construction projects using stones, connotes, and steels materials. Among of these projects, concretes may use widely because concretes have high compressive strength, and comparatively easy maintenance and management. Reinforced concrete Buildings will be deteriorated as time passed. These problems will be accelerated by propagation of cracks. In order to manage such cracks, time, efforts and expense are required. In this study, leakages of fluorescence and adhesive material were investigated using glass sensors that were embedded in a model beam and column. In addition, currents in glass pipe sensor were observed to find leakage of liquid in glass pipes. Progressive cracks were generated by fracture of glass me sensor. In this investigation, a reinforcement clothing system was wrapped for a glass pipe sensor, The glass pipe sensor that can make control and reinforce cracks simultaneously.

A simple, yet effective, material model of concrete is presented in this paper. Based on the orthotropic model in which the assumption of orthogonal principal strain axes is used, the incremental stress-strain relation of concrete is defined in the biaxial stress condition and the rotating crack model is adopted to represent realistically the change of the crack direction according to the different loading pad after cracking. Numerical results obtained from the finite element analysis are compared favourably with the available experimental data. By the parametric study, moreover, it was found that He most important factor in the structural behavior when the reinforced concrete structure is subjected to the dominent shear forces is the tension stiffening effect. The influences of the tension stiffening effect remarkably appears as the steel ratio decreases.

The knuckle crane design in Korea has been performed by assuming a cantilever beam type structure and numerically analyzing design data and finally improving the stiffness by replacing material. In our study, a complete finite element model of the knuckle crane is constructed and finite element analysis is conducted using Optistruct. Structural optimization to reduce the weight of the knuckle crane is processed by applying maximum loading condition at the largest radius of motion, which is the worst case of loading condition. As the results, existing over stiff design in a knuckle crane is corrected to meet a desired design limit and overall weight is reduced, which eventually leads to a reduction of $CO_2$ emission.

Structural changes of the vitelline envelopes during oogenesis of a polychaete, Nectoneanthes oxypoda, were examined with a scanning electron micrscope. Oocytes grow in the same coelomic fluid to the final stage, but the surface appears to change in the structure during oogenesis. Projections, which were identified to be microvilli, change in shape, number and size. Short microvilli, which cover the surface of oocyte of $33{\mu}m$ diameter densely, grow in length, reaching a maximum at the stage of $73{\mu}m$. The number of microvilli increases with the stages of oogenesis, reaching a plateau at the stage of $82{\mu}m$. The observations suggest that control of material transport including yolk precursor proteins may be correlated with the structural changes in the microvilli.

In this paper, the effects of the system parameters on the high cycle fatigue life based on structural dynamic analysis of a turbine blade are investigated. Conventional studies have forcused on the fatigue life of turbine blades with specific system parameters. However, each parameter has statistical deviation because of inhomogeneity of material property, tolerance, and operating conditions. Therefore a methodology that estimates the effects of system parameter on the fatigue lift deviation is demonstrated.

This study focused on the effect of autonomic microcapsules on the mechanical properties of structural material. Several types of microcapsules with healing agents were manufactured by varying agitation speed of high speed stirrer. The size distribution of microcapsules was measured by a particle size analzer. The epoxy specimens embedded with microcapsules were manufactured and the degree of cure of such epoxy specimen was measured by a differential scanning calorimetry. The tensile modulus and tensile strength in epoxy specimens embedded with microcapsules were evaluated in order to investigate the effects of microcapsules on mechanical properties of structural materials. The configuration of microcapsules and morphology of fracture surfaces for the epoxy specimen were examined by an optical microcope and a scanning electron microscope. According to the results, tensile strength of the epoxy specimen embedded with microcapsules was indicated a little reduction, but tensile modulus was not much affected on microcapsules.
