Concrete contains numerous microcracks initially. The growth and propagation of microcracks cause failure of concrete. These processings are termed as "damage". The concepts of the continuum damage mechanics are presented and the damage evolution law and constitutive equation are derived by using the Helmholz free energy and the dissipation potential by means of the thermodynamic principles. The constitutive equation includes the effects of elasticity, damage and plasticity of concrete. The proposed model successfully predicts the nonlinear behavior of concrete subject to monotonic uniaxial and biaxial loadings.

본 논문에서는 형상기억합금의 특징적인 거동을 모사하기위한 구성방정식을 제안한다. 제안되는 구성방정식은 기존의 소성모델을 기초로 하는 현상학적인 모델로, 소성 경화이론에서 사용되는 항복곡면에 대응되는 상변이 곡면을 정의하여 형상기억합금의 비선형 거동을 모사한다. 단, 상변이 곡면이 1개만 존재하는 소성모델과는 다르게, 오스테나이트에서 마르텐사이트로의 정방향 상변이와 마르텐사이트에서 오스테나이트로의 역방향 상변이를 각각 해석하기위해 독립적인 2개의 상변이 곡면을 정의해주게 된다. 기계적 하중만이 아닌 열적 하중의 변화에도 비선형 거동을 보이는 형상기억합금의 특성을 반영하기위해 상변이 곡면은 응력과 온도의 함수로 정의되며, 이렇게 정의된 상변이 곡면을 바탕으로 리턴 매핑 알고리즘을 적용하여 열적하중과 기계적하중의 변화에 따른 형상기억합금의 거동을 모사하는 구성방정식을 제안하였다.

In this paper, a numerical methodology for health monitoring of weldment was proposed using finite element method coupled with continuum damage mechanics. The welding-induced residual stress distribution of T-joint weldment was calculated using a commercial finite element package SYSWELD+. The distribution of latent damage was evaluated from the stress and strain components taken as the output of a finite element calculation. Numerical examples were given to demonstrate the usefulness of this so-called "post-processing approach" in the case of welding-induced damage assessment.

전단변형 효과를 무시하는 경우에 비대칭 선형 변단면을 갖는 박벽 공간 보의 안정성 해석을 위한 일반이론을 유도한다. 비대칭 선형 변단면의 임의점을 통과하는 부재축과 단면의 주축의 방향과 무관하고 부재축과 직각을 이루는 두 개의 좌표축을 도입하여 직각좌표계를 정의한다. 정의된 좌표축을 기준으로 유한한 회전각의 2차항을 고려하는 변위장을 도입하여 연속체에 대한 가상일의 원리로부터 탄성변형에너지, 그리고 초기응력에 의한 포텐셜에너지를 유도한다. 이를 이용하여 비대칭 선형 변단면을 갖는 박벽 공간 보의 안정성해석을 위한 평형방정식을 제시한다. 3차 Hermitian 다항식을 변위파라미터의 형상함수로 사용하여 박벽 공간 보의 탄성강도 및 기하강도행렬을 상정할 뿐만 아니라, 단면의 좌표축에 상관없이 임의의 위치에 작용하는 하중에 대한 하중보정강도행렬(load-correction stiffness matrix)을 제시한다. 본 이론 및 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하고 문헌의 결과 및 쉘요소를 사용한 해석결과와 비교하여 본 이론의 정당성을 입증한다.

The initiation and growth of microcracks or microvoids inside concrete results in the progressive degradation of concrete. This damage processing along processing along with plastic deformation is main cause of nonlinear behavior of concrete. In this study, a continuum damage model of concrete is developed for the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of concrete due to damage and elasto-plastic deformation. Anisotropic damage tensor is used to describe the anisotropy of concrete and hypothesis of equivalent elastic energy is used to define the effective elastic tensor. The damage model including the damage evolution law and constitutive equation is derived with damage variable and damage surface which is defined by damage energy release rate by using the Helmholtz free energy and dissipation potential based on the thermodynamic principles. By adopting a typical plasticity model of concrete, plasticity of concrete is included to this model. Afinite element analysis program implemented with this model was developed and finite element analysis was performed for the analyses of concrete subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loadings. Comparison of the results of analysis with those of experiments and other models shows that the model successfully predicts the nonlinear behavior of concrete.

In this paper the kinematics of damage for finite strain, elasto-plastic deformation is introduced using the fourth-order damage effect tensor through the concept of the effective stress within the framework of continuum damage mechanics. In the absence of the kinematic description of damage deformation leads one to adopt one of the following two different hypotheses for the small deformation problems. One uses either the hypothesis of strain equivalence or the hypotheses of energy equivalence in order to characterize the damage of the material. The proposed approach in this work provides a general description of kinematics of damage applicable to finite strains. This is accomplished by directly considering the kinematics of the deformation field and furthermore it is not confined to small strains as in the case of the strain equivalence or the strain equivalence approaches. In this work, the damage is described kinematically in both the elastic domain and plastic domain using the fourth order damage effect tensor which is a function of the second-order damage tensor. The damage effect tensor is explicitly characterized in terms of a kinematic measurure of damage through a second-order damage tensor. Two kinds of second-order damage tensor representations are used in this work with respect to two reference configurations.

As tunnel excavation generats stress release, a stability security of tunnel face is mainly important in case of tunnel excavation in the weak grounds. Using the steel bar or glass fiber pipe which had regular hardness, a face bolt method to reinforce previously is applied to an excavation object tunnel face aspect among measures methods regarding this. Therefore, used $FLAC^{3D}$ Ver. 2.1 on 5 Case of 0.5D (2EA), 1.0D, 1.5D, 2.0D with the length and 6 Case of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100EA with the number of the bolt that a face bolt method was installed at these papers in the necessary weak grounds in order to review applicability of the tunnel face reinforcement method that used these face bolts, and executed three dimension continuous analysis.

Recently in Korea, researches on seismic analyses for high-rise buildings in a large city have been increasing because earthquakes have occurred. However, the ground conditions are not included in most of seismic researches and analyses on a high-rise building. Also the influence of the predominant period of a seismic wave is not considered in reality. Therefore, in this study, the influence of the predominant period of a seismic wave on the dynamic behavior of high-rise buildings was analyzed based on the complete system model which can consider the grounds. For this purpose, 2D dynamic analyses based on a linear time history analysis were performed using MIDAS GTS NX, a finite-element based program. Dynamic behavior was analyzed in terms of horizontal displacements, drift ratios, bending stresses, and building weak zones. As a result, in overall, the dynamic response of a high-rise building become bigger as the predominant period of a seismic wave become longer. It was also found that the predominant period had a greater influence than other parameters, ground conditions and peak ground acceleration.

Based on the continuum approach, an investigation is made to get the forces and displacements of laterally loaded outrigger braced structures with a pair of coupled cores, and to show the effect of stiffening outriggers on the behavior of the structure. From the condition that the rotation of the core at the outrigger level is matched with the rotation of the corresponding outrigger, the outrigger restraining moment is derived analytically. From this, the core moment diagram, the column axial forces, and the horizontal displacements of the structure may be determined. Comparisons with the results by the program MIDAS-GEN for the structural models, have shown that this analysis can give reasonably accurate results for outrigger-braced structures with a pair of coupled cores. And a lateral displacement at the top of the structure is influenced by the outrigger location than the core location. Although the formulae are accurate only for idealized outrigger braced structures, they have a useful practical purpose in providing a guide to the behavior, and for making approximate estimates of the forces and displacements, in practical outrigger braced structures with a pair of coupled cores.

In construction of a large cross section NATM tunnel, to keep the tunnel face stability by the ground itself bench cut method is commonly used. In order to necessity of partial face excavation method, we have to look for more enhanced method that can maintain better stress intensity. This paper presents a stress distribution of the Center Diaphragm Method from the partial face excavation methods, with the numerical analysis, and induced the optimal face distance, which is minimizing stress concentration and the optimal excavation step. Commerical 3 dimensional continuum analyzing FLAC-3D Ver. 2.1 program is used for the analysis. Analyses were performed to investigate ground behavior for tunnels with variable bench-length varying from 2m to 40m.
