Considering dynamic behaviors according to initial tension forces, geometric nonlinearity and the effect of higher eigen modes to participate in dynamic behaviors increase as initial tension forces decrease, and from phase portrait we can realize that period attractors are produced in many area with complexity. If initial tension forxes increase, difference between linear and nonlinear solutions will decrease and the first eigen mode dominate the dynamic behaviors and observing phase portrait, period attractors appear in certain area regularly. These results may offer meaningful informations to nonlinear dynamic analysis using modal reduction methods such as Lanczos modal analysis. And actually nonlinear dynamic analysis needs very large computational efforts. So, if we determine the number of eigen modes to take part in modal analysis corresponding to initial tension forces we will get more accurate data close to exact nonlinear dynamic solutions.

To investigate the stabilizing effect of anchors against sliding, a series of the model test was carried out. An apparatus was developed to perform the model test of the slope reinforced by anchors. An instrumentation system has been applied on the anchors to measure the axial force during slope failure. The maximum stabilizing effect is revealed about 0.5% of the area ratio. The initial loss of anchor force is represented about 24% of initial jacking force. This result is equaled to the proposed range(10%~25%) of the field test result(Yun, 1997). The effective jacking force corresponds to 70% of the initial jacking force. Therefore, the initial jacking force should be determined more than 30% of the design jacking force. As the initial jacking force becomes increase, the reinforced slope is transferred to brittle failure behavior due to increasing the density of slope soils.

In this study, micro genetic algorithm is used to find an optimum cross section of grid structures with pretension. Design optimization of trusses consists of arriving at optimum sizes of cross-section and prestressing force parameters, when weight of the truss is minimum, satisfying a set of specified constraints. The present approach is verified by ten-bar truss example showing good agreements with previous results. Features of the proposed method, which help in modeling and application to optimal design of pretensioned truss structures, are demonstrated by solving a problem of seventy two bar truss structures. The minimum weight design of seventy two bar truss is performed for various magnitudes of pretension and optimal prestressing forces are also found for various configurations of pretensioned truss structures.

It is not a simple task to optimize a cable stayed bridge, because it involves, in addition to the section properties, number and arrangement of cables, initial tension forces of cables, and type and height of the tower as design variables. This study deals with an optimization problem of cable stayed bridges considering initial cable forces, section properties of the girder and the tower, and coordinates of the tower. In order to avoid difficulties in dealing with numerous variables which interact mutually, separate design spaces are adopted for initial cable forces, section properties, and coordinates, respectively. Strain energy stored in the structure is used as the object function in the design of the initial cable forces, while weight of the structure is used in the design of section and coordinates. Upper and lower limits of the initial forces, allowable stresses including the effect of buckling, and lower limit of the sectional area are considered as constraints. The proposed method is applied to a fan type bridge and a harp type bridge. It is believed through comparison of the results to the previous results in the literature that the proposed method renders rational design values. It is also shown that the coordinate optimization, which is usually deleted in the optimization process, results in additional saving of materials.

The effects of the stretching speed and the swelling degree of cocoon filaments on load-elongation curve were tested by tensilon with special attachments. The values of breaking strength, elongation at break and initial tensile strength obtained from load elongation curves are summarized as follows; 1. The breaking strength of the swollen cocoon filament appeared to increase at the high stretching speed, while elongation at break decreased. 2. Load-elongation curve became crinkled at the low speed of stretching. It suggests that both slip and break of the macrofibrils may occur in swelling of cocoon bave. 3. Breaking strength appeared to considerably decrease and elongation at break not to increase in swelling test at 9$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. 4. The initial tensile strength was influenced by the stretching speed and swelling degree of cocoon filaments.

In this study, direct tension test for hybrid steel fiber reinforced ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) containing two different steel fibers with a length of 16 and 19 mm was performed to investigate the fracture behavior of UHPC. Test results showed that crack strength and tensile strength, and fracture energy increased with increasing the fiber volume ratio. Based on the test results, the peak cohesive stress at the crack tip, tensile strength, and fracture energy depending on the fiber volume ratio were proposed. The proposed tensile strength of UHPC was suggested as a function of the fiber volume ratio and compressive strength. The peak cohesive stress at the crack tip and fracture energy were also proposed as a function of the tensile strength. The predicted values were relatively agree well with the test results. Thus, the proposed equations is expected to be applicable to UHPC with a compressive strength of 140~170 MPa and a fiber volume ratio of less than 2%.

무배향 미연신 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트 필름을 수중에서 일축연신 시킨후 연신된 시료의 열자극전류를 측정하여 검토 고찰하였다. 연신에 따른 측정결과 결정화도가 대체로 증가하는 경향이 있으나 연신비 150% 부근에서는 반대로 결정화도가 감소함을 알수가 있었는데 이는 초기인장에 따른 일시적 분자배향의 불안정한 형태로 인한 자유체적의 증가와 더불어 배위 엔트로피가 증가 하기 때문이라고 생각되며 인장된 시료의 밀도측정 및 적외선 스펙트럼분석으로 부터 확인하였다. 그리고 인장비의 변화에 따른 열자극전류의 피이크를 105(.deg.C)부근에서 얻었으며 인장비에 따른 열자극전류의 활성화 에너지를 구한 결과 150%에서 가장 큰 값을 얻었다.

전기동도금의 경우 도금후 박막의 구조와 특성이 변화하는 단점이 있다. 공정조건 중 인가전류 밀도에 따른 우선결정성장방위, 미세조직, 혼입불순물 및 인장강도 변화를 조사하였다. 혼입불순물이 적은 저전류 밀도($2A/dm^2$)에서는 동도금후 시간이 지남에 따라 초기 인장강도를 유지하였으나, 고전류 밀도(5, $8A/dm^2$)로 갈수록 혼입불순물이 많아지며 동도금후 인장강도 또한 초기값에 비해 약 60%이상 감소하였다.

In this work the mechanical behaviors of GaN nanowires are analyzed during tension, compression, and unloading deformations. The thermal conductivity of the nanowires at each deformed state is evaluated using an equilibrium Green-Kubo approach. Under tensile loading, the [0001]-oriented nanowires with hexagonal cross-sections undergo a phase transformation from wurtzite to a tetragonal structure. The phase transformation is not observed under compressive loading. The thermal conductivity decreases on going from compressive strains to tensile strains. The strain dependence of the thermal conductivity results from the relaxation time of phonon. A reverse transformation from the tetragonal structure to the wurtzite structure is observed during unloading. The thermal conductivities in the intermediate states are lower than the conductivity in the wurtzite structure at same strain. Such differences in the thermal conductivity between different atomic structures are mainly due to changes in the group velocity of phonon.

One of ways to make high-strength concrete is for the mix contain particles graded down to the finest size : this is achieved by the use of fly ash, silica fume which fills the spaces between the cement particle and between the aggregate and the cement particles. And, the mix needs a sufficient workability. This is achieved by the use of a superplasticizer. This study is to investigate frost resistance of high-strength concrete at early age, with ratio of tensile strength and recovery of compressive strength, when high-strength concrete is placed in cold climates. According to this study, it is necessary to ensure 4 % of air content, 5 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of tensile strength, at least, for frost resistance of high-strength concrete at early age.
