Plastic deformation of roadbed influences the stability and maintenance of concrete slab track. Long-term plastic deformation in a railway roadbed is generated primarily due to accumulated inelastic strains caused by repeated passing of trains. Prediction of cumulative plastic deformation is important in cost-effective maintenance of railway tracks as well as for the safe operation of trains. In this study, the vertical displacements in railway roadbeds with different thicknesses of reinforced roadbed were computed. Parameters of the power model for cumulative plastic strain were calibrated by using the data from triaxial tests and full-scale loading tests. Results of three-dimensional finite element analyses of standard roadbed sections provide us with design guidelines for the selection of the thickness of reinforced roadbed.

터빈의 핵심구동부품은 손상이 누적되어 파괴에 이를 경우 치명적인 결과를 야기할 수 있기 때문에, 부품사용조건에서의 소성변형과 이에 따른 손상 누적을 정확히 예측하고 평가함으로써 균열생성 시점을 정확히 파악하여야 할 필요가 있다. 현재 터빈디스크와 같이 고온 고응력에서 사용되고 있는 소재부품의 수명은 궁극적으로 크리프변형과 피로시험의 공동작용으로 결정되며, 재료특성모델링 시험에 있어서도 dwell time 피로시험을 통해 dwell time 효과를 점검하고 점소성 재료변형에 근거하여 피로에 의한 변형 현상을 설명할 수 있다.

Based on the numerical investigations using steel bridge pier subjected to strong seismic excitations a new approach to seismic damage assessment for steel structures and their members has been proposed in conjunction with the suggested definition of failure state. The relevant failure form of the steel pier is evaluated. It is revealed that when a seismic load has a short period, the failure of global buckling beyond the allowable displacement is more dominant than that by that of the local buckling caused by the accumulation of plastic strain. When a seismic load is not beyond this certain part, but repeats within the range of where a plastic deformation occurs, the plastic strain is accumulated on the partial element of bottom edge of steel pier and the failure occurs by the local buckling from the accumulated plastic local strain.

In the present study, the deformation capacity of slender shear walls with thin web was studied. As reported by other researchers, web-crushing and rebar-fracture, developing by inelastic deformation after flexural yielding, were considered as the governing failure modes of walls. To address the effect of the longitudinal elongation on web-crushing and rebar-fracture, the longitudinal elongation was predicted by using truss model analysis. The failure criteria by web-crushing and rebar-fracture were defined as a function of the longitudinal elongation. The proposed method was applied to 17 shear wall specimens with boundary columns, and the prediction results were compared with the test results. The results showed that proposed method predicted the maximum deformations and failure modes of the wall specimens with reasonable precision.

Longitudinal elongation develops in reinforced concrete beams that exhibit flexural yielding during cyclic loading. The longitudinal elongation can decrease the shear strength and deformation capacity of the beams. In the present study, nonlinear truss model analysis was performed to study the elongation mechanism of reinforced concrete beams. The results showed that residual tensile plastic strain of the longitudinal reinforcing bar in the plastic hinge is the primary factor causing the member elongation, and that the shear-force transfer mechanism of diagonal concrete struts has a substantial effect on the magnitude of the elongation. Based on the analysis results, a simplified method for evaluating member elongation was developed. The proposed method was applied to test specimens with various design parameters and loading conditions..

This study proposed a damage index for steel members and examined a process where steel square tubular columns under cycle loading failed to meet the damage index. A nonlinear analysis was carried out and a damage process analyzed using a finite element program. Material properties and strain characteristics were obtained from material testing. The effect on the damage of members was analyzed according to varying kinds of steels and conditions of loading based on material testing results. According to strain characteristics and cumulative plastic strain of each variable, the effect of conditions of loading and kinds of steels on the damage could be estimated quantitatively.

An active application of concrete track is being expected far the future constructions of Korean railroad. In comparison with the existing ballasted tract, a concrete track is very susceptible for the settlement, since its rehabilitation requires much time and cost. When a concrete track is constructed on fine-grained subgrade soil, excessive cumulative plastic settlements due to repetitive train road may occur. In this case, the settlement of the concrete track may be effectively reduced by installing a small number of small-diameter piles beneath the track. This paper presents the effect of pile installation on the reduction of cumulative plastic settlement of concrete track. A method combining experiential equation and numerical method is proposed. Using an existing experiential equation and the estimated earth pressure distribution, the cumulative plastic strain was calculated. From the results, it is verified that the effects of the pile installation is significant to effectively reduce the cumulative plastic settlement of concrete track. The reduction effects of the cumulative plastic settlement according to the pile number and pile arrangement are presented.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the connections of the seismic-performance values for domestic-performance-based designs. Basic research on the performance design method has been increasing of late, along with performance-based organization investigations. These investigations concern the performance level state of steel structure buildings. According to the performance limit state, seismic-performance values should be presented as appropriate steel structure engineering amounts. The first step, based on the full-scale steel structure experiments, involves researching on the making of a basic document. The moment-rotation angle relationship results of the experiment on the moment-frame connection were used to assort the functional and undamaged limits, which were assumed to be less than the yield moment. Moreover, the repairable and safety limits, which were assumed to exist between the yield and maximum moments, were assorted by investigating the accumulated plastic deformation ratio.

The fatigue crack growth model is derived and the retardation model is proposed. The fatigue crack growth model considers the residual plastic stretch on the crack surface which results from the plastic deformation at the tip of fatigue crack. The fatigue crack growth rate is calculated by using the cumulative fatigue damage and plastic strain energy in the material elements at the crack tip. This model gives the crack growth rate in reasonable agreement with test data for aluminum alloy AL6061-T651 and 17-4PH casting steel. The fatigue crack growth retardation model is based on the residual plastic stretch produced from a tensile overload which reduced the plastic strain range of the following load cycles. A strip-yield model of a crack tip plasticity is used for the calculation of a plastic zone size. The proposed retardation model characterized the observed features and delayed retardation of the fatigue crack growth under tensile overload.
