The axial stress in rock bolt, the shear stress at the bolt-grout interface and the neutral point are analyzed to understand the mechanical behavior of rook bolt. To analyze the support effects of rock bolt in various geological conditions, numerical analyses are performed with regard to bolt spacing and bolt length in several geological conditions and tunnel sizes. Through the numerical analyses, the distributions of maximum tensile stress and shear stress are determined. And the excavation width of underground opening affects the position of the neutral point. In the circular opening supported by pattern bolting, the increase of confining pressure, the reduction of plastic zone, and that of ground displacement are determined by using the radial stress increase ratio, the plastic zone reduction ratio and the displacement reduction ratio respectively. The results of this study can be applied to a practical tunnel design through understanding of the trends of these support effects.

근래 국내에서는 기후변화로 인한 국지성 호우가 점점 늘어나는 추세로 급격한 하천 수위상승 및 유량 증가로 인해 지속적으로 홍수피해가 발생하고 있으며, 이를 예방하기 위한 실시간 자료수집의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 사회적 환경을 고려하여 우리는 물 순환에 관한 자료를 실시간으로 수집하고 홍수예보를 위한 수문조사시설을 설치하여 운영하고 있으나, 대부분 하천과 인접한 곳에 설치되는 시설 특성상 시스템 오류, 전원 이상 발생 등 다양한 요인으로 발생하는 자료 결측·손실에 즉각적인 조치가 어려운 실정이다. 이에, 현장 기반 시설의 안정적인 운영을 통한 연속성 있는 자료 제공을 위해 수문조사시설 중 하천 내 설치된 유량측정시스템에 ICT·사물인터넷(IoT, Internet of Things)을 적용하여 현장 환경-정보 등 언택트(non-contact) 모니터링을 통해 실시간 점검을 수행하였다. 그 결과 2022년 기준 총 508회(현장점검 358회) 점검 중 150회 원격점검을 수행하였고, 이중 74회 즉각 점검 및 복구 조치가 이루어져 점검 시간 단축을 통한 자료 결측 최소화, 현장점검 최소화를 통해 효율적인 시설 운영이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한, 점검을 위해 현장 이동 시 발생하는 이산화탄소 배출량 저감으로 탄소중립 효과도 나타낼 수 있었다. 코로나바이러스감염증-19 이후 사회환경 패러다임 전환에 따라 비대면 활성화, 탄소중립, 안전하고 건전한 사회환경 조성 등과 같이 대면 위주로 운영되는 현장 시설의 관리 방향 또한 사회적 상황을 고려하여 효율적인 시설물 운영, 예산 절감, 자료의 연속성 확보 등을 위해 적극적인 운영 방향의 전환이 필요하다고 판단된다.

In this paper, two dimensional concrete slabs for a railroad bridge were analyzed by the specially orthotropic laminates theory. Both the geometrical and material property of the cross section of the slab was considered symmetrically with respect to the neutral surface so that the bending extension coupling stiffness, $B_{ij}$ = 0, and $D_{16}=D_{26}=0$ Bridge deck behaves as specially orthotropic plates. In general, the analytical solution for such complex systems is very difficult to obtain. Thus, finite difference method was used for analysis of the problem. In this paper, the finite difference method and the beam theory were used for analysis.

Beam - and arch-like structures are two-dimensional bodies characterized by the fact of small thickness compared to the length of structures. Owing to this geometric feature, linear displacement approximations through the thickness such as Kirchhoff and Reissner-Mindlin theories which are more accessible one dimensional problems have been used. However, for accurate analysis of the behavior in the regions where the state of stresses is complex, two-dimensional linear elasicity or relatively high order of thickness polynomials is required. This paper analyses accuracy according to the order of thickness polynomials and introduces a technique for model combination for which several different polynomial orders are mixed in a single structure.

Automatic generation of the mid-surfaces of a CAD model is becoming a useful function in that it can help increase the efficiency of engineering analysis as far as it does not affect the result seriously. Several methods had been proposed previously to automatically generate the mid-surfaces, but they often failed to generate the mid-surfaces of complex CAD models. Due to the inherent difficulty of this mid-surface generation problem, it may not be possible to come up with a complete and general method to solve this problem. Since a method that can handle a specific case may not work for different cases, it seems that developing case-specific methods ends up with solving only a fraction of the problem. In this paper, therefore, we propose a method to generate mid-surfaces based on a divide-and-conquer paradigm. This method first decomposes a complex CAD model into simple volumes. The mid-surfaces of the simple volumes are automatically generated by the existing methods, and then they are converted into the mid-surfaces of the original CAD model.

This paper describes the method that can construct kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of gear-like components which have tooth shape around the cylinder. The kinematically admissible velo- city fields for the various gear-like components, involute spur gear, trapezoidal spline, square spline, ser- ration and trochoidal gear, were constructed by pilling up the velocity components according to the shape of tooth and billet. The billets, of hollow and solid, were Al 2218 and 2024. To verify the method, the analyses and experiments were carried out and compared with each other. For analyses, the half pitches of com- ponents were divided into several deformation regions based on their tooth profile. A neutral surface was used to represent the inner flow of material during forging. Its location varied with the energy optimazation and its contour varied with the number of teeth. In experiment, the contour of material filling up the tooth zone is hyperbolic curve caused by the frictional drag on the interface of die-wall/workpiece but, in the analysis, it is an arc which retains the same contour during all forging operation.

In this paper, a post-tensioned reinforced concrete slab was analyzed by the specially orthotropic laminates theory. Both the geometrical and material property of the cross section of the slab was considered symmetrically with respect to the neutral surface so that the bending extension coupling stiffness, $B_{ij}=0$, and $D_{16}=D_{26}=0$. Reinforced concrete slab behave as specially orthotropic plates. In general, the analytical solution for such complex systems is very difficult to obtain. Thus, finite difference method was used for analysis of the problem. In this paper, the finite difference method and the beam theory were used for analysis. The result of beam analysis was modified to obtain the solution of the plate analysis.

In the case of skeletal class III edentulous patients, the stability of dentures can be achieved by using a crossbite by considering the residual ridge relationship when fabricating complete dentures. Forming the anterior teeth in a normal occlusal relationship in a skeletal class III ridge relationship may reduce the stability of the denture by increasing the anterior cantilever. However, when patients use complete dentures, not only functional aspects but also aesthetic aspects are important. The aesthetics of complete dentures depends on how the anterior artificial teeth are arranged, and cases of complete denture fabrication using normal occlusion or edge-to-edge bite in edentulous patients with skeletal class III ridge relationships have been reported. In this case, complete dentures were fabricated for an edentulous patient with a skeletal class III edentulous patients by forming anterior edge-to-edge bite considering neutral zone in maxillary anterior teeth, and good aesthetic and functional results were obtained.

When wearing complete dentures, patients want to function naturally within a physiologically stable range. To do this, recovery of esthetics, biologically stable arrangement and contour, and occlusal contacts with denture stability are necessary. In this case report, a complete denture patient of adverse conditions was presented. To increase stability of the dentures, functional impression was made by border molding using the neutral zone. The dentures were checked for physiological centric relations and stable occlusion. The clinical results showed satisfactory results on function and esthetics.

In this paper, a scheme for the evaluation of variability in the eigen-modes of functionally graded material(FGM) beams is proposed within the framework of perturbation-based stochastic analysis. As a random parameter, the spatially varying elastic modulus of FGM along the axial direction at the mid-surface of the beam is chosen, and the thru-thickness variation of the elastic modulus is assumed to follow the original form of exponential variation. In deriving the formulation, the first order Taylor expansion on the eigen-modes is employed. As an example, a simply supported FGM beam having symmetric elastic modulus with respect to the mid-surface is chosen. Monte Carlo analysis is also performed to check if the proposed scheme gives reasonable outcomes. From the analyses it is found that the two schemes give almost identical results of the mean and standard deviation of eigen-modes. With the propose scheme, the standard deviation shape of respective eigen-modes can be evaluated easily. The deviated mode shape is found to have one more zero-slope points than the mother modes shapes, irrespective of order of modes. The amount of deviation from the mean is found to have larger values for the higher modes than the lower modes.
