A forced vibration model of a rail system was established using the Timoshenko beam theory to determine the dynamic response of a rail under time-varying load considering the damping effect and stiffness of the elastic foundation. By using a Fourier series and a numerical method, the critical velocity and dynamic response of the rail were obtained. The forced vibration model was verified by using FEM and Euler beam theory. The permanent deformation of the rail was predicted based on the forced vibration model. The permanent deformation and wear were observed through the experiment. Parametric studies were then conducted to investigate the effect of five design factors, i.e., rail cross-section shape, rail material density, rail material stiffness, containment stiffness, and damping coefficient between rail and containment, on four performance indices of the rail, i.e., critical velocity, maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal stress, and maximum shear stress.

The role of a track subgrade is to provide bearing capacity and distribute load transferred to lower foundation soils. Track subgrade soils are usually compacted by heavy mechanical machines in the field, such that sometimes they are attributed to progressive residual settlement during the service after construction completion of the railway track. The progressive residual settlement generated in the upper part of a track subgrade is mostly non-recoverable plastic deformation, which causes unstable conditions such as track irregularity. Nonetheless, up to now no design code for allowable residual settlement of subgrade in a railway trackbed has been proposed based on mechanical testing, such as repetitive triaxial testing. At this time, to check the DOC or stiffness of the soil, field test criteria for compacted track subgrade are composed of data from RPBT and field compaction testing. However, the field test criteria do not provide critical design values obtained from mechanical test results that can offer correct information about allowable permanent deformation. In this study, a test procedure is proposed for permanent deformation of compacted subgrade soil that is used usually in railway trackbed in the laboratory using repetitive triaxial testing. To develop the test procedure, an FEA was performed to obtain the shear stress ratio (${\tau}/{\tau}_f$) and the confining stress (${\sigma}_3$) on the top of the subgrade. Comprehensive repetitive triaxial tests were performed using the proposed test procedure on several field subgrade soils obtained in construction sites of railway trackbeds. A permanent deformation model was proposed using the test results for the railway track.

This paper presents a cloth simulation technique that implements plastic deformation. Plasticity is the property that material does not restore completely to the original state once deformed, in contrast to elasticity. We model cloth using a particle model, and posit two kinds of connections between particles, i.e. the sequential connections between immediate neighbors, and the interlaced connections between every other neighbors. The sequential connections represent the compression and tension of cloth, and the interlaced connections the bending in cloth. The sequential connections are modeled by elastic springs, and the interlaced connections by elastic or plastic spring depending on the amount of the current deformation of the connections. Our model is obtained by adding plastic springs to the existing elastic particle model of cloth. Using the new model, we have been able to simulate bending wrinkles, permanently deformed wrinkles, and small wrinkles widely distributed over cloth. When constructing elastic and plastic spring models for sequential and interlaced connections, we took pain to prevent the stiffness matrix of the whole cloth system from being indefinite, in order to help achieve physical stability of the cloth motion equation and to improve the effectiveness of the numerical method.

In this study, experimental and analytical studies were conducted on the structural performance of permanent steel formed wide beams in construction stage. Four specimens were fabricated with different rib spacings of the side steel formwork and fixing plate depths, and experimental tests were performed to investigate the effects of variables on the structural performance. Also, an finite element analysis model of the steel permanent formwork wide beam was proposed based on the test results. Using the proposed model, parametric studies were performed with variables including rib spacing of the bottom and side steel formwork, spacing, depth, and thickness of the fixing plate to derive optimized details. Furthermore, an artificial neural network model was developed to easily estimate the deformation of the steel permanent formwork wide beam with various details.

If the railways consisting of soil subgrade is applied to repetitive loading, elastic deformation and plastic deformation will occur at the same time. So the repeat traffic loading condition should be considered to predict the long-term deformation on railway roadbed. In this study, laboratory data from the repeated load triaxial tests and cylinder model test were used to predict accumulated settlement on railway foundation and results were analyed based on the nonliear models and stress state considered. It has proposed predict model using power function model on plastic settlement of roadbed materials.

3 차원 입력 장치는 키보드나 마우스 같은 일반적인 입력 장치로는 받아 들이기 어려운 3 차원 입력을 사용자로부터 간편하고 직관적인 방법으로 받아들일 수 있다는 측면에서 활발히 연구 및 사용되고 있다. 또한 햅틱 장치는 가상 물체의 조작에 따른 시각적인 피드백 외에 가상 물체의 느낌을 피드백 힘을 통해 사용자에게 전달해 줌으로써 컴퓨터와 사용자간의 상호 작용에 큰 도움을 준다. 본 논문은 햅틱 피드백이 적용된 실시간 가변형 모델과 효과적인 3 차원 입력에 대한 기반 연구를 하고자 한다. 그리고 이에 대한 한 가지 사례로써 햅틱 장치를 이용한 가상 판화 시스템을 제작 한다. 가상 판화 시스템은 시각 처리 부분과 촉각 처리 부분, 그리고 사용자의 3 차원 입력을 돕는 인터페이스 부분으로 구성되어 있다. 시각 처리 부분은 3 차원 공간 상에서 사용자의 조각에 따른 판화 표면의 변형을 처리하며 촉각 처리 부분은 실제 판화를 제작할 때 느끼는 촉각을 햅틱 인터페이스를 이용하여 사용자에게 전달한다. 이를 위해 먼저 시각 처리 부분에서는 NURBS 기반의 자유 형상 변형 (FFD)기법을 이용하였는데 가상 조각도에 의한 물체 표면의 지역적인 변형을 구현하기 위해 조각도가 닿는 부분에 대해 기조 격자점 (control point)을 증가시켜 원하는 부분에 대한 지역적인 변화를 용이하도록 하였고 다음으로 촉각 처리 부분에서는 S-chain 모델을 이용하였는데 S-chain 모델을 객체 전체에 적용하지 않고 접촉이 일어날 경우 그 접촉점을 기준으로 S-chain 모델을 지역적으로 적용하는 방법을 고안하여 실제 구현에 이용하였다. 인터페이스 적인 측면에서 사용자의 3 차원 입력장치를 통한 인터렉션은 사용자로 하여금 보다 자유로운 입력을 허용하지만 이에 따른 깊이 지각 문제를 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 최소화 시키고 사용자의 깊이 지각을 강화시키기 위해 사용자에게 제공되는 시각적 자극을 변형시키고 다양한 정보를 제공하도록 하였다. 가상 판화 시스템은 가상 환경에서 사용자의 조작에 따른 다양한 결과물을 제작 및 출력해 볼 수 있도록 해준다. 또한 가상 환경에서 이러한 기반을 제공함으로써 가상 환경의 장점인 복사, 이동 및 영구 보존 특성을 동시에 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 작업을 위한 기반 기술로써 햅틱 및 가변형 모델, 3 차원 입력 장치에 대한 시각적 인터페이스에 대해 다루고 이 기반 기술을 바탕으로한 가상 판화 시스템의 구현에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

This paper summarizes a study on the application of the friction pendulum system in bridge seismic isolation. Shaking table tests have been carried out on a model structure isolated with F.P.S and the obtained structural responses are compared to those of non-isolated. It can be concluded the F.P.S increases the earthquake resistance capacity of the isolated structure. It is also found that the stiffness of bearing, being controlled by the radius of curvature of the spherical sliding interface, is unaffected by the amplitude of the input excitation. Furthermore, the coefficient of sliding friction is velocity dependent so that in weak excitation the sliding velocity is low and, accordingly, the mobilized friction force is less than the one mobilized in strong excitation. Also, the frictional properties of the bearings remain markedly stable after extensive testing, and the permanent displacements are small and not cumulative in successive earthquakes.

Using the finite element analysis model presented in accompanying paper, parametric study was performed in this paper. Various parameters were considered such as the width of wheel loads-induced permanent plastic deformation, backfill, equivalent thickness and orthogonal characteristic of steel mats. The effects of these parameters were analyzed for vertical and rotational displacements, maximum moment and tensile stress. From the parametric studies, it is found that great vertical deflection and tensile stress above allowable flexural tensile strength are developed in steel mats by the wheel loads-induced permanent plastic deformation. Backfill or increasing the thickness of steel mats is a feasible solution on this problem.

The flash lamp annealing (FLA) process has been considered highly promising for manufacturing low-temperature polysilicon on large-scale backplanes. Based on a theoretical estimation, this study clarifies the critical mechanisms of glass backplane deformation during the FLA process. A simulation using a commercial FEM code with viscoelastic models shows that the local region, whose temperature is larger than the glass softening point, undergoes permanent structural shrinkage owing to stress relaxation. For larger backplanes (4th Gen), structural shrinkages and gravitational deflection are critical to deformation in the FLA process, resulting in an "M" shape; in smaller backplanes (0th Gen), the latter is negligible, resulting in a "U" shape.

우리 나라의 양수발전소는 지금까지 단일공동을 굴착하였다. 그러나 양양 양수발전소는 두 개의 대공동 즉, 발전소와 주 변전소로 구성된다. 이 경우 공동 구조물의 안정성, 특히 두 공동사이에 형성되는 암주를 영구적으로 안전하게 유지 할 수 있도록 보장되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 이용하여 두 공동과 암주의 구조적 안정성을 평가하였으며, 구성모델로 Barton-Bandis의 절리모델을 이용하였다. 현지 암반의 초기응력, 자연절리면의 거칠기계수 불연속면의 공간적 분포 특성과 같은 중요한 요인들은 현지 조사를 통하여 구하였다. 이외에 두 가지 경우 즉, 무보강과 보강의 경우 지보시스템의 최적화를 분석하였으며, 또한 보강효과를 검토하였다. 연구결과 보강의 경우 수평변위와 절리의 전단변위가 감소되었으며 암주내 이완영역 역시 감소됨을 확인하였다. 두 공동사이에 있는 약 36m 두께의 암주에 적절한 보강조치를 취하여 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다.
