The distributions of fatigue life of concrete for various applied fatigue stress levels are investigated. The concrete beam specimens are tested in four-point flexural loading conditions. Three different levels of applied fatigue stresses are considered. They are 85%. 75%. 65%, respectively, of the static flexural strength of concrete. The present study indicates that the shapes of the probability distribution of fatigue lives are rather different for different levels of applied fatigue stress. This necessitates the consideration of the effects of applied fatigue stress levels on fatigue life distributions of concrete in order to conduct a realistic fatigue reliability analysis. The graphical method, the method of moments, and the method of maximum likelihood estimation are used to evaluate the distribution parameters of fatigue lives. It was found that the shape parameter of Weibull distribution for the fatigue life of concrete ranges from 2.0 to 4.0 according to the level of applied fatigue stress.

The stresses in concrete pavement systems are larger when vehicle loads are applied at pavement edges, and these large stresses significantly affect the behavior and performance of pavements. Therefore, in this study, the stress distribution and the critical stresses in concrete pavements were investigated using a finite element model when dual-wheel single-, tandem-, and tridem-axle loads were applied at pavement edges. First, the stress distribution along the longitudinal and transverse directions was analyzed, and then the effects of slab thickness, concrete elastic modulus, and foundation stiffness on the stress distribution were investigated. The effect of the tire contact pressure related to the tire print area was also studied. The location of the critical stress occurrence in concrete pavements was finally investigated. From this study, it was found that the critical concrete stress due to edge loads became larger as the concrete elastic modulus increased, the slab thickness increased, and the foundation stiffness decreased. The effect of the tire contact pressure on the critical stress was clear as the slab thickness became smaller. The critical stress location in the transverse direction was independent of the concrete elastic modulus and the foundation stiffness; however, it moved into the interior as the slab thickness increased. The critical stress location in the longitudinal direction was under the axle for single- and tandem-axle loads, but for tridem-axle loads, it tended to move under the middle axle from the outer axles as the concrete elastic modulus and/or slab thickness increased and the foundation stiffness decreased.

유한요소법에 의하여 축대칭 정적하중을 받는 승용차용 래디알 타이어의 변형을 해석하였다. 요소는 8절점 parabolic-isoparametric 요소를 사용하였으며 타이어를 구성하는 cord-rubber복합체를 선형직교성을 갖는다고 가정하고, 그 복합체의 물성치를 간단한 식으로 표시하여 적용하였다. 공기압으로 인해 변형된 모양 및 cord에 작용하는 장력을 계산해 냈으며 이 변형된 모양을 plaster cast를 이용하여 측정한 실험치와 비교하였다. 또 타이어를 구성하는 구조가 달라지면 공기압으로 인하여 변형형태가 어떻게 변화하는가를 계산해 보았다. 이 결과로 belt의 cord수가 감소하거나 belt cord angle이 증가하면 타이어 외경이 증가함을 알 수 있다.

현재 서울을 비롯한 5대 광역시에 지하철이 계획, 시공되고 있다. 이와 같은 지하철은 많은 사람들이 이용하는 대중교통 수단이므로 설계 시 작용하는 하중조건을 모두 고려하여 설계를 하고 있지만 Box형으로 시공된 지하철 구조물의 본선 및 정거장에 대해 점검한 보고서를 참고하면 본선보다는 정거장에서 많은 균열이 발생되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Box형으로 시공된 정거장 구조물에 대하여 균열이 발생된 형태와 원인을 연구하여 추후 시공하고자 하는 정거장구조물에 대해 균열발생 억제방안을 도출하고자 한다. (중략)

암석 내에 포함된 불연속면으로 인하여 암석은 압축하중 하에서 복잡한 거동을 한다. 이러한 복잡한 거동은 변형률강화(strain hardening), 변형률연화(strain softening), 부피팽창(dilatancy)등의 비선형 거동을 포함하는데, 이들은 균열의 성장, 상호작용(interaction), 연합(coalescence) 등을 통하여 발생한다(Brace et al., 1972; Kranz, 1983). 이와 같은 암석의 비선형적 거동을 설명하기 위하여 여러 형태의 균열모형이 개발된 바 있다(Costin, 1985; Nemat-Nasser ＆ Horii, 1982; Wang & Kemeny, 1993; Jeon, 1998).

This paper presents an investigation on the geometric nonlinear behavior of cable-stayed bridges using geometric nonlinear finite element analysis method. The girder and mast in cable-stayed bridges show the combined axial load and bending moment interaction due to horizontal and vertical forces of inclined cable. So these members are considered as beam-column member. In this study, the nonlinear finite element analysis method is used to resolve the geometric nonlinear behavior of cable-stayed bridges in consideration of beam-column effect, large displacement effect (known as P-${\delta}$ effect) and cable sag effect. To analyze a cable-stayed bridge model, nonlinear 6-degree of freedom frame element and nonlinear 3-degree of freedom equivalent truss element is used. To resolve the geometric nonlinear behavior for various live load cases, the initial shape analysis is performed for considering dead load before live load analysis. Then the geometric nonlinear analysis for each live load case is performed. The deformed shapes of each model, load-displacement curves of each point and load-tensile force curves for each cable are presented for quantitative study of geometric nonlinear behavior of cable-stayed bridges.

The mechanical properties of Ferrite-Martensite dual phase steels are affected by microstructural factors, such as, martensite volume fractions, grain size of ferrite, hardness ratio of Ferrite-Martensite, connectivity and chemical components etc. Therefore, this study has been made on the influence of Impact fracture behavior which changes the hardness ratio of Ferrite-Martensite by mean of heat treatment of low carbon Mn-Steels. In order to analyze and examine the effect of fracture behavior under impact load, this study investigated the impact strength, the impact loading time, the absorbed energy on the fracture ductility of Ferrite-Martensite dual phase steels, the formation of micro crack and slip, and plastic restraint of martensite on the plastic deformation.

DDA (Discontinuous Deformation Anlaysis) is one of the latest numerical analysis which has merits of both FEM and DEM. In this research a new edge-to-edge contact algorithm was applied on DDA. With adoption of new edge-to-edge contact state definition, sub-algorithm was improved about open-close iteration, contact state judge, contact detecting, and friction forces acting on joints. Newly applied DDA was verified based on two different cases. The DDA results show good agreement with numerically predicted one.

A volume integral equation method (VIEM) is introduced for the solution of elastostatic problems in an unbounded isotropic elastic solids containing interacting multiple anisotropic inclusions subject to remote uniaxial tension. The method is applied to two-dimensional problems involving long parallel cylindrical inclusions. A detailed analysis of stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion is carried out for square and hexagonal packing of the inclusions. Effects of the number of anisotropic inclusions and various fiber volume fractions on the stress field at the interface between the matrix and the central inclusion are also investigated in detail. The accuracy of the method is validated by solving the single inclusion problem for which solutions are available in the literature.
