Constant .DELTA.K fatigue crack growth rate experiments were performed by applying an intermediate single and multiple overload for structural steel, SM45C. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the influence of multiple overloads at various stress intensity factor ranges and the effect of statistical variability of crack retardation behavior. The normalized delayed load cycle, delayed crack length and the minimum crack growth rate are increased with increasing baseline stress intensity factor range when the overload ratio and the number of overload application were constant. The crack retardation under low baseline stress intensity factor range increases by increasing the number of overload application, but the minimum crack growth rate decreases by increasing the number of overload application. A strong linear correlation exists between the minimum crack growth rate and the number of overload applications. And, it was observed that the variability in the crack growth retardation behavior are presented, the probability distribution functions of delayed load cycle, delayed crack length and crack growth life are 2-parameter Weibull. The coefficient of variation of delayed load cycle and delayed crack length for the number of 10 overload applications data are 14.8 and 9.2%, respectively.

In this paper, stochastic imperfection sensitivity analyses of stiffened cylindrical shells under static load are presented. Multimode formulation is performed for the buckling load calculation based on the Donnell's theory and Galerkin approximation. Random imperfection field theory and response surface method are combined with deterministic bucking analysis scheme to perform stochastic imperfection sensitivity analyses of stiffened cylindrical shells considering random geometric imperfection. From the characteristics of probabilistic bucking load, the relation between reliability index and safety parameter can be obtained in addition to the relation between load and reliability index. Those results can be used to determine the range of required safety parameter and acceptable imperfection.

Smart skin, a multi-layer structure of composed or different materials, was designed and fabricated. Tests and analyses are conducted to study the characteristics of its behavior under compression and bending loads. The designed smart skin failed due to premature buckling before compression failure. It was confirmed that shear moduli of honeycomb core affect structural stability of smart skin. A new test method and device were designed fur better measurement of shear moduli of honeycomb core. Numerical prediction of structural behavior of smart skin by NASTRAN agreed well with experimental data.

The permanent deformation of asphalt pavement is one of the most important load-related distresses in asphalt pavement. In order to evaluate the permanent deformation, the repeated triaxial load test with different temperature and air void of hot mix asphalt was carried out. The permanent deformation prediction model has been validated by the multiple regression approach and the artificial neural networks.

The resistance of crowd pressure is an important performance to be influential on safety of facility users among performances required for light weight walls of public facilities. This study has empirically evaluated the estimation of size of crowd pressure to be applied to a wall of structure. For the load analysis test, the force plate with stiffness of 28 kN/cm was designed and manufactured. For inspectors, 15 males in the age of 20s were selected. The action of putting load was set as instantaneous push of plate and continuous push. As the load was increased linearly from the weight of inspector, the size of load was indicated as the load ratio. In case of instantaneous force, about 1.18 times the weight of pushing personnel was acted as a load. In case of continuous push, about 0.80 times the weight of pushing personnel was acted as a load.

본 논문은 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델에 의한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 정착부의 거동해석 및 설계에 관한 연구이다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 정착부는 긴장재의 인장력 도입으로 인해 비교적 작은 단면에 큰 집중하중으로 발생하는 매우 중요한 구조부위이며, 기존의설계가 비교적 다른 구조부위의설계에 비하여 경험적으로 이루어지고 있을 뿐 만 아니라 해석에도 많은 시간과 계산량이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 대상 정착부의 비선형 재료거동을 따르도록 비선형 해석을 실시하여 설계를 수행하고 구조물의 극한하중을 추정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 긴장력이 정착부의 중앙에 도입되는 경우, 편심으로 도입되는 경우, 다중 정착구가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 선형과 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 구성하여 정착부의 역학적 거동을 고찰하였고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교로부터 비선형 모델을 사용한 경우 선형 모델을 사용한 경우보다 안정성을 유지하면서 경제적인 설계가 가능하고 추정극학강도도 실험결과에 더욱 근접함을 알았다.

In this paper, we propose the Multi-FPNN(Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks) model based on FNN and PNN(Polyomial Neural Networks) for optimal system identifacation. Here FNN structure is designed using fuzzy input space divided by each separated input variable, and urilized both in order to get better output performace. Each node of PNN structure based on GMDH(Group Method of Data handing) method uses two types of high-order polynomials such as linearane and quadratic, and the input of that node uses three kinds of multi-variable inputs such as linear and quadratic, and the input of that node and Genetic Algorithms(GAs) to identify both the structure and the prepocessing of parameters of a Multi-FPNN model. Here, HCM clustering method, which is carried out for data preproessing of process system, is utilized to determine the structure method, which is carried out for data preprocessing of process system, is utilized to determance index with a weighting factor is used to according to the divisions of input-output space. A aggregate performance inddex with a wegihting factor is used to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization abilities of the model. According to the selection and adjustment of a weighting factor of this aggregate abjective function which it is acailable and effective to design to design and optimal Multi-FPNN model. The study is illustrated with the aid of two representative numerical examples and the aggregate performance index related to the approximation and generalization abilities of the model is evaluated and discussed.

The characteristics of the skin shear stress distribution for the fixed length of the ground anchor are extremely nonlinear and the engineering mechanisms are complex relatively. So it is difficult to design the anchors simulating the actual behavior by considering various soil conditions and nonlinear behavior. Due to these limits, constant skin shear stress distributions for the whole fixed length of the ground anchor are usually assumed in the design for the sake of convenience. In this study, to assess the pull-out behavior of the tension-type ground anchors, the in-situ pull-out tests in weathered-soil conditions were carried out. Based on the test results, the skin shear behaviors for the fixed length of tension-type ground anchors were established and the multi-linear slip shear model predicting this behavior and an analytical technique applying this model were proposed. From the similarity between the results of the in-situ pull-out tests and those of the analytical technique, the applicability and availability of the multi-linear slip shear model and the proposed analytical technique were verified. The maximum shear stress was developed at the start point of the fixed length acting with the smaller load than the maximum pull-out load but the minimum shear stress was developed at the start point of the fixed length and the maximum shear stress was developed at the point apart from the start point of the fixed length after the maximum pull-out load.

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis shows that film thickness is very flat in the contact area and pressure distribution is somehow similar to that of Hertzian contact pressure except the outlet region with pressure spike. These typical patterns of EHL film thickness and pressure are the cases under the steady contact conditions of applied loads and speeds. However, many engineering contacts are rather under the conditions of varying loads and contact speeds, and therefore the predictions for endurance life and performance of machine elements with steady EHL analysis are not suitable in many occasions. This study shows the differences in film thickness formation and pressure distribution between steady and transient contact conditions in several contact cases.
