An experimental study was carried out to determine pullout behavior of a new type of anchor bolt that used deformed reinforcement and a commercial adhesive. Concrete slabs and columns with about 20-MPa compressive strength were used for 136 pullout tests performed. Test variables included anchor diameter (10 mm ~ 32 mm). embedment depth (10$\Phi$ or 15$\Phi$), edge effect. and Presence of transverse reinforcement in existing concrete. In Tyre-S test. where the edge or reinforcing steel effect was not included, the anchor Pullout strengths increased with increasing anchor diameters. Anchors with 15$\Phi$ embedment depth had higher Pullout strengths than those with 100 embedment depth The largest average Pullout load of 208 kN was determined for anchors made with D25 reinforcement and with 15$\Phi$ embedment depth. In Type-E tests, where the anchors were installed close to the edge of existing concrete, there were reductions in pullout strengths when compared to those determined in Type-S tests. In Type-ER tests, influence of the reinforcement in existing concrete on the anchor pullout strengths was examined using reinforced concrete and plain concrete columns Test results indicated that existing transverse reinforcement (column ties) did not help increase the pullout strength. The overall pullout test results revealed that the new anchor bolt can develop large pullout strengths while the anchors can be made of materials that are readily available in the market.

Several classical and higher order plate theories were used to study the buckling of functionally graded material (FGM) plates. In the great majority of research, a power function is used to represent metal and ceramic material transverse distribution (P-FGM). Therefore, the effect of having other transverse variation of material properties on the buckling behavior of thick rectangular FGM plates was not properly addressed. In the present work, this effect is investigated using the Third order Shear Deformable Theory (TSDT) for the case of simply supported FGM plate. Both a sigmoid function and an exponential functions are used to represent the transverse gradual property variation. The plate governing equations are combined with a Navier type expanded solution of the unknown displacements to derive the buckling equation in terms of the pre-buckling in-plane loads. Finally, the critical in-plane load is calculated for the different buckling modes. The model is verified by a comparison of the calculated buckling loads with available published results of Al-SiC P-FGM plates. The conducted parametric study shows that manufacturing FGM plates with sigmoid variation of properties in the thickness direction increases the buckling load considerably. This improvement is found to be more significant for the case of thick plates than that of thin plates. Results also show that this stiffening-like effect of the sigmoid function profile is more evident for cases where the in-plane loads are applied along the shorter edge of the plate.

In this paper, edge delaminations in cracked composite plates are analytically investigated. A theoretical model based upon a sub-laminate approach is used to determine the strain energy release rate, $G^{ed}$, in [$\pm$$\theta_m$/$90_n$]$_s$ carbon/epoxy laminates loaded in tension. The analysis provides closed-form expressions for the reduced stiffness due to edge delamination and matrix cracking and the total energy release rate. The parameters controlling the laminate behaviour are identified. It is shown that the available energy for edge delamination is increased notably due to transverse ply cracking. Also thermal stresses increase substantially the strain energy release rate and this effect is magnified by the presence of matrix cracking. Prediction for the edge delamination onset strain is presented and compared with experimental data. The analysis could be applied to ceramic matrix composite laminates where similar mechanisms develop, but further experimental evidence is required.

In this paper, a four-layer road structure consisting of an edge transverse crack is simulated using three-dimensional finite element method in order to capture the influence of a single-axle wheel load on the crack propagation through the asphalt concrete layer. Different positions of the vehicular load relative to the cracked area are considered in the analyses. Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) is used for investigating the effect of the traffic load on the behavior of a crack propagating within the asphalt concrete. The results obtained show that the crack front experiences all three modes of deformation i.e., mode I, mode II and mode III, and the corresponding stress intensity factors are highly affected by the crack geometry and the vehicle position. The results also show that for many loading situations, the contribution of shear deformation (due to mode II and mode III loading) is considerable.

TFLIM(Transverse Flux Linear Induction Motor), making its closed magnetic path with the direction of the traveling field orthogonal, had been developed to decrease an edge effect of the general induction motor. To control the levitation force and the thrust force on the secondary part of TFLIM independently, the various methodologies have been presented. When we try to achieve the independent control using only the multi-phase inputs assigned in the stator coils as an approach, in which condition we can minimize the coupling effect between two forces\ulcorner In this paper, we show the qualitative influence of a slip frequency, an ac magnitude, a dc offset superposed in the ac power, and a major parameter of TFLIM on the couple through the computer simulation. And to realize the independent motions between levitation and thrust motion without any auxiliary means fur isolation of the secondary part of TFLIM, the decouple compensator is suggested, including the experimental results.

An analysis method about Transverse Edge Effect is suggested which can be applied even in transversal decline when the mover of linear induction motor runs along a curvilinear path. The criteria for linear induction motor design is proposed by indentifying the influence of the ratio of width and displacement of primary and secondary.

본 연구의 목적은 수평하중 하의 테두리보가 있는 플랫플레이트 시스템의 해석 방법을 제안 하는 것이다. 플랫플레이트 시스템은 보 없이 기둥이 직접 지지하는 구조로 정의되지만 일반적으로 설계에서는 테두리보를 설치하여 사용하고 있다. 수평하중 하의 플랫플레이트를 해석 할 수 있는 방법으로는 ACI 318 (2005)에서 유한요소법, 유효보폭법, 등가골조법을 제시하고 있다. 그 중 유효보폭법은 슬래브를 보요소로 치환함으로써 실용적인 해석이 가능하도록 하는 해석 방법이다. 유효보폭법에서의 보 요소는 슬래브와 같은 두께와 실제 슬래브에 대하여 어떠한 비율로 정의되는 유효보폭으로 정의된다. 그러나 유효보폭법에 관한 연구는 기하학적 변수에 대한 연구나 강성 감소 계수에 관한 연구가 일반적이고 테두리보를 고려해 줄 수 있는 유효보폭모델에 관한 연구는 아직 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 테두리보가 없는 플랫 플레이트 시스템의 횡 강성보다 테두리보가 있는 플랫플레이트 시스템의 횡 강성이 더 큰 강성을 확보하는 것을 검증하였다. 따라서 테두리보의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 플랫플레이트 시스템의 해석 방법이 제시되어야 할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 수평하중에 대한 테두리보가 있는 플랫플레이트의 유효보폭모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델의 검증을 위하여 제안된 유효보폭모델의 결과값을 유한요소해석의 결과값과 비교하였다. 또한 제안된 유효보폭모델의 결과값과 기존에 수행된 실험의 결과와 비교하였다.

This study is an investigation of the effect of cracks on the dynamical characteristics of a cantilever beam, having multiple open-edge transverse cracks. The flexibilities due to crack have been identified for several crack depths and locations. In the study the finite element method and component mode synthesis methods are used. Coupling the components is performed by a flexibility matrix taking into account the interaction forces. Each component is modelled by cantilever beam finite elements with two nodes and three degrees of freedom at each node. The results obtained lead to conclusion that, by using the drop in the natural frequencies and the change in the mode shapes, the presence and nature of cracks in a structure can be detected. There is some counter-evidence, however, that the effects due to multiple cracks may interact to make detection more difficult than for isolated cracks.

This paper presents a performance characteristic analysis methodology for a linear induction motor used for a lightweight train. In general, an analytical method cannot provide accurate results in a linear motor because of large airgap, end effect, transverse edge effect, 3-dimensional configurations, large leakage, and so on. Besides, a numerical method requires lots of memory and solving time for transient analysis. However, the suggested methodology which is a kind of hybrid solution with an analytical method and a numerical method is very fast and accurate. Based on the methodology, 3-D FEM analyses for various design schemes of the secondary reaction plate have been done and from the analysis results, the best configuration for an urban railway transit is chosen.

Structural walls have been mostly used for the design of reinforced concrete buildings in seismic areas because they play a role as an efficient bracing system and offer great potential for lateral load resistance and drift control. The lateral resistance system for the earthquake load should be designed to have enough ductility and stable hysteretic response in the critical regions where plastic deformation occurred beyond yielding. The behavior of the reinforced concrete element to experience large deformation in the critical areas by a major earthquake is affected by the performance of the confined core concrete. Thus, the confinement of concrete by suitable arrangements of transverse reinforcement results in a significant increase in both the strength and ductility of compressed concrete. This paper reports the experimental results of reinforced concrete structural walls for wall-type apartment structure under axial loads and cyclic reversal of lateral loads with different confinement of the boundary elements. The results show that confinement of the boundary element by open 'U'-bar and cross tie is effective. The shear strength capacity is not increased by the confinement but deformation capacity is improve.
