The researches on circular hollow section(CHS) connections have been conducted continuously because of development of material properties and complex local behavior of the connections. The purpose of this study is that the effects of material strength and chord wall slenderness on chord plastification and strength of CHS X-joint truss connection under compression on branch member were evaluated. To this end, finite element analyses were performed for various connections, using ANSYS Mechanical APDL program. Based on the analysis results, the design strength of the connections according to chord plastification limit state in KBC were examined. Finally, special considerations for CHS X-joint connection design were suggested.

This paper investigates the design equations and the strength behavior of the diaphragm for steel box beams and circular-column connections. The strength of the connection is decided by the strength of the diaphragm and the strength of the beam and the column, because the connection diaphragm supports the concentration forces from the box beam's lower flange. In previous researches, however, the calculation procedure of the diaphragm stress from the indeterminate curved-beam model is to complicated to apply in process of the equation. Moreover, no reasonable design has yet ben made because the diaphragm's effect on the strength of the connection has not ben considered. Therefore, through nonlinear FEM analysis of the connection diaphragm, this study examines the strength behavior of a connection with diaphragm details. In addition, a great difference is confirmed between the theoretical and analytic behaviors. Fi naly, considering the strength of the connection and the rigidity capacity of the diaphragm, the diaphragm design method is proposed.

For manufacturing modern cars, so-called multi-materials, such as aluminum alloy with high-strength steels, are used. For obtaining such materials, a new joining method is required to achieve the multi-material design. Mechanical clinching is one of joining methods used to join the dissimilar materials. The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of mechanical clinching of Al5052 alloy to high-strength steels (SPFC440, 590, 780). Using FE-analysis and clinching experiment, the joinability of Al5052 alloy to high-strength steel is evaluated by geometrical shape of mechanical clinched joint, such as neck-thickness and undercut. Further, the joint strength is evaluated by performing a single-lap shear test. The upper high-strength steel SPFC780 was not clinched because of the necking of the upper sheet. The joint strength increased with increasing strength of the upper sheet. For the lower high-strength steel sheet, the joinability and joint strength decreased with increasing strength of the lower sheet.

This paper reports the test results of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints with high-strength concrete. The main parameters of eight specimens were joint failure modes, the compressive strength of concrete, and the head shapes of steel bars. All specimens were designed according to ACI 352R-02 design recommendations. Two types of failure modes were considered; J-failure and BJ-failure. The longitudinal steel bars were anchored by 90 degree standard hooks or headed reinforcement. Experimental results indicated that the current ACI design recommendation limited by the compressive strength of concrete somewhat underestimated the strength of beam-column joints with high-strength concrete. In the specimens showed joint shear failure, the strength of beam-column joints with headed bars was approximately 10 percent higher than that of joints with 90 degree standard hooks.

열전소자는 열전현상을 이용한 재료로서 여기서 열전현상이란 열을 전기로 또는 전기를 열로 바꿀 수 있는 에너지 변환 현상을 의미한다. 그 중 Bi-Te계 열전소자는 $200^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서 열전 효율이 우수하기 때문에 항공, 컴퓨터 등의 열전발전 또는 열전냉각 모듈에 널리 사용된다. 열전 모듈 제작시 Bi-Te 소자는 구리 기판에 접합하여 사용하게 되는데 이 때 솔더의 성분인 Sn과 기판의 Cu는 소자내로 확산하여 금속간 화합물을 형성한다. 이렇게 형성된 금속간 화합물은 접합강도를 저하시키는 원인뿐만 아니라 열전 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 접합강도와 열전성능의 저하를 막기 위해 BiTe 소자의 표면에 $4{\mu}m$두께의 Ni-P 도금 공정을 추가하여 Ni-P 도금층이 Cu와 Sn의 확산을 막는 방지층 역할을 하게 한다. 그리고 도금한 소자를 $3mm{\times}3mm{\times}3mm$로 커팅하여 구리 기판에 접합하여 열전 모듈을 제작하였다. 제작된 열전모듈의 단면을 EPMA분석한 결과 Ni-P 도금층이 확산방지층으로 잘 작용되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 접합강도 측정결과 도금을 하지 않은 Bi-Te소자에 비해 접합강도가 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 따라서 Ni-P도금을 실시함으로서 금속간 화합물 형성을 억제하고 열전모듈의 성능과 접합강도를 향상시킬 수 있었다.

The required connection ductility has been evaluated, considering geometric, material and connection nonlinearity, for 6-story unbraced and 20-story braced steel structures subjected to ultimate lateral load. For material nonlinearity, section moment-curvature relationship and member stiffness matrix have been derived utilizing fiber model and linear flexibility distribution model. In 6-story structure with semi-rigid connections for rigid connection, the required connection ductility is less than that for rigid connection. In 20-story structure, the required connection ductility for semi-rigid connection is almost the same as that for shear connection and the required ductility for rigid connection is larger than that for semi-rigid or shear connection.

The joining of aluminum and HSS (high-strength steel) by the conventional clinching process is limited by the low formability of HSS. Defects in the clinching joint, such as necking of the upper sheet, cracks, and lack of interlocking, are produced by the different ductility properties of HSS and aluminum. In this study, we propose the hole clinching process for joining Al6061 and SPFC440, in which deformation of SPFC440 is avoided by drilling a hole in the SPFC440. The dimensions of the interlocking in the hole-clinched joint necessary to provide the required joint strength were determined. Based on the volume constant of the hole clinching process, the shapes of the tools were designed by finite element (FE)-analysis. A hole clinching experiment was performed to verify the proposed process. A cross-section of the joint showed good agreement with the results of the FE-analysis. The lap shear strength was found to be 2.56 kN, which is higher than required joint strength.
