A series of rabbit common extensor tendon specimens of the humeral epicondyle were subjected to tensile tests under two displacement rates (100mm/min and 10mm/min) and different elbow flexion positions 45°, 90°and 135°. Biomechanical properties of ultimate tensile strength, failure strain, energy absorption and stiffness of the bone-tendon specimen were determined. Statistically significant differences were found in ultimate tensile strength, failure strain, energy absorption and stiffness of bone-tendon specimens as a consequence of different elbow flexion angles and displacement rates. The results indicated that the bone-tendon specimens at the 45°elbow flexion had the lowest ultimate tensile strength; this flexion angle also had the highest failure strain and the lowest stiffness compared to other elbow flexion positions. In comparing the data from two displacement rates, bone-tendon specimens had lower ultimate tensile strength at all flexion angles when tested at the 10mm/min displacement rate. These results indicate that creep damage occurred during the slow displacement rate. The major failure mode of bone-tendon specimens during tensile testing changed from 100% of midsubstance failure at the 90°and 135°elbow flexion to 40% of bone-tendon origin failure at 45°. We conclude that failure mechanics of the bone-tendon unit of the lateral epicondyle are substantially affected by loading direction and displacement rate.

철근콘크리트 부재의 연성을 확보하기 위하여 콘크리트구조기준에서는 철근의 최소 허용 변형률에 대한 지침을 두고 있고, EC2에서는 중립축 깊이와 유효 깊이의 비(c/d)를 제한하고 있다. 일반적으로 철근콘크리트 부재의 연성 능력은 항복변위와 극한변위의 비로서 표현되는 변위 연성도를 통해 평가하는데, 변위 연성도를 정확하게 산정하기 위해서는 항복변위와 극한변위에 대한 정립이 필수적이다. 그러나 실제 부재의 변위는 부재의 다양한 특성에 영향을 받으므로 이들 값을 정확하게 산정하는 것은 어렵다. 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 부재의 항복변위 및 극한변위를 휨모멘트-휨곡률 관계를 통해 직접 계산하여 변위 연성도를 산정하였다. 해석의 주요 변수는 콘크리트 압축강도, 주철근 항복강도, 주철근 비, 횡철근 간격, 축력비 및 콘크리트 극한변형률이다. 해석 결과 콘크리트 압축강도가 증가할수록 변위 연성도는 증가하였다. 반면에 주철근의 항복강도, 주철근 비, 횡철근 간격 및 축력비가 증가할수록 변위 연성도는 감소하였다. 그리고 변위 연성도는 기둥의 내진설계에 사용되는 응답수 정계수(R)의 산정에 필수적이므로 변위 연성도를 정확하게 산정하는 것이 필수적이라고 판단된다.

This paper presents prediction of ultimate longitudinal strength of a VLCC, "Energy Concentration" for which many benchmark studies have been carried out, based on kinematic displacement method proposed by Tayyar and Bayraktarkatal (2012). Kinematic displacement theory provides semi-analytical solution of average compressive strengths for various kinds of stiffened panels. The accuracy of average compressive strengths obtained from formulas of CSR(common structural rules) for tankers and kinematic displacement method are discussed in the fore part of this paper. Hull girder ultimate strengths using Smith method are also compared for different average compressive strengths. By comparing them with other benchmark results, it is concluded that the new method provides lower bounds, because hull girder strengths under the sagging and hogging moment conditions approach nearly lower bounds.

This paper presents, basic concepts on deformation models for D-regions critical to shear. Strut-and-tie models are used to construct for deformation estimation at yielding and ultimate deformation. A generic: strut-and-tie model is proposed to investigate deformation patterns and failure mode identification. Superposition of the basic models enables us to explain deformation limits of arch action and truss action. Displacement at yielding is assessed by consideration of deformation of reinforcing steel only while the ultimate displacement is calculated by limits of ultimate strain of concrete in compression and failure mechanisms.

Estimation of deformation capacity of non-flexural reinforced concrete members is proposed using basic concepts of limit analysis and the virtual work method. This new approach starts with construction of admissible stress field as for an equilibrium set. Failure mechanisms compatible with admissible stress fields are postulated as for displacement set. It is assumed that the ultimate deformations as result of failure mechanisms are controlled by ultimate strain of concrete in compression. The derived formula for deformability of deep beams in shear shows reasonable range of ultimate displacement.

An optical rotary encoder is easy to implement for automation system applications. In particular, the output of the encoder has a digital form pulse, which is also easy to be connected to a popular digital controller. By using an incremental encoder and a counting device, it is easy to measure angular displacement, as the number of the output pulses is proportional to the rotational displacement. This method can only detect the angular placement once a pulse signal comes out of the encoder. The angular displacement detection period is strongly subject to the change of the angular displacement in case of ultimate low velocity range. They have ultimate long detection period or cannot even detect angular displacement at near zero velocity. This paper proposes an algorithm for detecting angular displacement by using a dual encoder system with two encoders of normal resolution. The angular displacement detecting algorithm is able to keep detection period moderately at near zero velocity and even detect constant angular displacement within nominal period. It is useful for motion control applications in case of changing rotational direction at which there occurs zero velocity. In this paper, various experimental results are shown for the angular displacement detection algorithm.

The construction of a new cavern modifies the state of stresses and displacements in a zone around the existing cavern. For multiple caverns, the size of this influence zone depends on the ground type, the in situ stress, the cavern span and shape, the width of the pillar separating the caverns, and the excavation sequence. Performances of underground twin caverns can be unsatisfactory as a result of either instability (collapse) or excessive displacements. These two distinct failures should be prevented in design. This study simulated the ultimate and serviceability performances of underground twin rock caverns of various sizes and shapes. The global factor of safety is used as the criterion for determining the ultimate limit state and the calculated maximum displacement around the cavern opening is adopted as the serviceability limit state criterion. Based on the results of a series of numerical simulations, simple regression models were developed for estimating the global factor of safety and the maximum displacement, respectively. It was proposed that a proper pillar width can be determined based on the threshold influence factor value. In addition, design charts with regard to the selection of the pillar width for underground twin rock caverns under similar ground conditions were also developed.

The ASTM test standard recommends the use of the compact tension specimen for creep crack growth rates measurement. In the creep crack growth rate test, the displacement rate due to creep is obtained by subtracting the contribution of elastic and plastic components from the total load line displacement rate based on displacement partitioning method fur determining $C^*-integral$, which involves Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) fitting procedures. This paper investigates the effect of the R-O fitting procedures on plastic displacement rate estimates in creep crack growth testing, via detailed two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element analyses of the standard compact tension specimen. Four different R-O fitting procedures are considered; (i) fitting the entire true stress-strain data up to the ultimate tensile strength, (ii) fitting the true stress-strain data from 0.1% strain to 0.8 of the true ultimate strain, (iii) fitting the true stress-strain data only up to 5% strain, and (iv) fitting the engineering stress-strain data. It is found that the last two procedures provide reasonably accurate plastic displacement rates and thus should be recommended in creep crack growth testing. Moreover, several advantages of fitting the engineering stress-strain data over fitting the true stress-strain data only up to 5% strain are discussed.

일반적으로 풍화암에 근입된 현장타설말뚝은 지지력이 매우 크므로 많은 경우에 설계하중만을 검증한 다음 극한하중을 확인하기 전에 재하시험을 종료한다. 그러나 만일 미완성 하중-침하 곡선으로부터 신뢰할 수 있는 극한하중의 예측이 가능하다면 설계의 질적인 향상뿐만 아니라 경제적인 면에서도 크게 기여를 할 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다. 본 연구의 목적은 극한하중을 얻지 못한 말뚝 재하시험의 하중-침하 곡선으로부터 외삽법을 이용하여 추정한 극한하중의 신뢰성 판단 방법을 제안 하는데 있다. 이를 위해 극한하중이 구해진 10본의 말뚝을 3개 현장에 걸쳐서 수집하였다. 그리고 이 10개의 하중-침하 곡선으로부터 Davisson 방법을 이용하여 구한 실제 계측 극한하중의 25%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 그리고 90%에 해당하는 하중-침하 곡선 자료만이 확보되었다고 가상하고 각각의 자료에 대하여 쌍곡선 방법으로 외삽한 다음, 극한하중을 새로이 결정하였다. 이렇게 결정된 외삽 극한하중의 신뢰성을 통계분석을 통하여 평가하였다. 그 결과, 확보하였다고 가상한 하중-침하 곡선의 최대 침하량 대 외삽 극한하중에서의 침하량 비가 0.6 이상인 경우, 외삽으로 예측한 극한하중은 실제 계측 극한하중보다 평균적으로 20% 이내에서 보수적인 값을 나타내었다. 또한, 항타말뚝의 정재하시험 자료에 대하여 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 분석하여 동일한 결과를 확인하였다.
