In this study, aimed at determining the elastic modulus of deep mixed samples, 320 test specimens were developed by mixing 8%, 10%, 12%, and 14% of stabilizer mixture in the granular conditions of clay, sand and gravel. Uniaxial compression tests were carried out using these specimens, and the uniaxial compression strength and strain were analyzed to determine the secant elastic modulus and tangent elastic modulus. Laboratory test results showed that the uniaxial compression strength of all deep mixed samples increased with increasing curing time and stabilizer mixing ratio, and that the secant elastic modulus and the tangen elastic modulus also increased. The increase of the elastic modulus according to the curing period turned out greater in the tangent elastic modulus than in the secant elastic modulus. In order to measure elastic modulus with changes in stabilizer mixing ratio, the correlation coefficient between the elastic modulus for stabilizer mixing ratio of 8% and that of 10%, 12% and 14% was calculated respectively by the specimen condition. The elastic modulus tended to increase as the grain size in a deep mixed specimen increased. The distribution of grain size that had the greatest effect appeared when the composition ratio of sand was high. On the other hand, the increase in the elastic modulus was larger in the sand specimens than in the clay and gravel specimens. Based on these results, it is suggested that a pertinent soil parameter of the deep mixed ground in the field may be obtained by the particle size distribution and the mixing ratio of stabilizer of the deep mixed soil.

본 논문에서는 표면효과와 비선형 탄성효과를 고려한 FCC 나노박막의 순차적 멀티스케일 해석 모델을 제시한다. 표면에서의 구성방정식은 표면응력과 표면탄성계수를 이용하여 선형으로 표시되며, 표면효과를 나타내기 위한 표면물성들은 EAM 포텐셜을 이용한 원자적 계산 방법으로 계산된다. 두께가 얇은 나노박막은 표면응력으로 인하여 면내 방향으로 수축 또는 인장의 변형이 발생하게 된다. 나노박막의 평형상태에서의 변형율은 두께가 얇은 박막의 경우 재료가 선형 탄성 영역을 벗어나는 값을 가지는 경우가 많으므로 나노박막의 해석시 벌크 영역의 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려해야 한다. 이러한 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려하기 위해 본 연구에서는 FCC 구조를 가지는 금속의 비선형 탄성 모델을 제시하고, EAM 포텐셜로 계산된 응력과 탄성 계수를 이용하여 매칭 기법을 통하여 비선형 탄성 모델의 계수들을 결정한다. 또한 Cauchy-Born Rule 모델과 분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 비선형 탄성 모델에 대한 검증을 수행한다.

The shear stiffness has become an important design parameter to understand the soil behavior. In particular, the elastic moduli and void ratio has been considered as important parameters for the design of the geotechnical structures. The objective of this paper is the development of the penetration type Field Velocity and Resistivity Probe (FVRP) which is able to assess the elastic moduli and void ratio based on the elastic wave velocities and electrical resistivity. The elastic waves including the compressional and shear wave are measured by piezo disk elements and bender elements. And the electrical resistivity is measured by the resistivity probe, which is manufactured and installed at the tip of the FVRP. The penetration tests are carried out in calibration chamber and field. In the laboratory calibration chamber test, after the sand-clay slurry mixtures are prepared and consolidated. The FVRP is progressively penetrated and the data are measured at each 1 cm. The field experiment is also carried out in the southern part of Korea Peninsular. Data gathering is performed in the depth of 6~20 m at each 10 cm. The elastic moduli and void ratio are estimated based on the analytical and empirical solutions by using the elastic wave velocities and electrical resistivity measured in the chamber and field. The void ratios based on the elastic wave velocities and the electrical resistivity are similar to the volume based void ratio. This study suggests that the FVRP, which evaluates the elastic wave velocities and the electrical resistivity, may be a useful instrument for assessing the elastic moduli and void ratio in soft soils.

The shape of an inelastic demand spectrum may have a major impact on the seismic evaluation results of a structure. The inelastic demand spectrum could be obtained by scaling down from the elastic response spectrum by applying the strength reduction factor (SRF). This study has investigated formulas for SRFs that were suggested by numerous previous studies. This paper compares their characteristics, including the shapes of the curves of the SRFs and the inelastic demand spectra that were produced by applying the various formulas for SRFs. The mean curve was computed from the SRF curves generated by the various formulas. This study derives a new formula for the SRF curve through regression analysis. From the comparative study, it is shown that the proposed formula for the SRF can generate the mean curve of the inelastic demand spectra which have been previously suggested by others.

There are a lot of equipment related to safety and electric power production in nuclear power plants. The structure and equipment in NPPs were generally designed considering a high safety factor to remain in the elastic zone under earthquake load. However it is needed to revaluate the seismic capacity of the structure and equipment as the magnitude of earthquake was recently increased. In this study the floor response due to the nonlinear behaviors of structure was analyzed and the inelastic structural response factor was calculated by the nonlinear time history analysis. The inelastic structural response factor was calculated by the EPRI method and the nonlinear analysis method to realistically evaluate the seismic fragility for the equipment. According to the analysis result, it was represented that the inelastic structural response factor was affected by the natural frequency of equipment, the location of equipment and the dynamic property of structure.

In order to develop stretchable substrates for wearable packaging applications, the variation behavior of elastic modulus was evaluated for transparent PDMS Sylgard 184 and black PDMS Sylgard 170 as a function of the base/curing agent mixing ratio. Both for Sylgard 184 and Sylgard 170, the true elastic modulus evaluated on a true stress-true strain curve was higher more than two times compared to the engineering elastic modulus obtained from an engineering stres-sengineering strain curve, and their difference became larger with increasing the stiffness of the PDMS. Sylgard 184 exhibited a maximum engineering elastic modulus of 1.74 MPa and a maximum true elastic modulus of 3.57 MPa at the base/curing agent mixing ratio of 10. A maximum engineering elastic modulus of 1.51 MPa and a maximum true elastic modulus of 3.64 MPa were obtained for Sylgard 170 at the base/curing agent mixing ratio of 2.

탄성파의 속도는 파동 전파 매질의 밀도와 탄선계수에 달려 있으므로, 박막이 입혀진 기판에서 전파하는 표면파에 대해서 기판과 박막의 밀도와 탄성계수 및 박막의 두께 등을 알면 전파 속 도를 계산할 수 있다. 박막의 탄성계수를 모르는 경우에는 표면파 속도를 측정하여 역으로 탄 성계수를 산출할 수 있다. 이러한 역산과정에는 일반적인 비선형 방정식의 curve-fitting에 이용될 수 있는 simplex법이 효율적으로 활용된다. 이 글에서는 표면파 속도를 측정하고 그 데이터로 부터 역산하여 박막의 탄성계수를 구하는 원리와 과정을 설명한다.

In design of steel frames, it is generally believed that elastic system buckling analysis cannot predict real behaviors of structures, while inelastic system buckling analysis can give informative buckling behaviors of individual members considering inelastic material behavior. However, the use of Euler buckling equation with these system buckling analyses have the inherent problem that the methods evaluate unexpectedly large effective lengths of members having relatively small axial forces. This paper proposes a new method of obtaining elastic and inelastic effective lengths of all members in steel frames. Considering a fictitious axial force factor for each story of frames, the proposed method determines the effective lengths using the inelastic stiffness reduction factor and the iterative eigenvalue analysis. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, the effective lengths of example frames by the proposed method were compared to those of previously established methods. As a result, the proposed method gives reasonable effective lengths of all members in steel frames. The effect of inelastic material behavior on the effective lengths of members was also discussed.

Dynamic measurements are used rather sparingly to determine the elastic modull of rock cores and modulus values are not much utilized in design practice. The reason seems to result from the general perception that values obtained by dynamic measurement are much higher (about 10 times) than those determined statically. This paper presents results from dynamic and static tests on rock cores. The findings are: 1) elastic modull can be consistently determined by laboratory seismic testing. 2) nonlinear deformation characteristics of rock cores was tentatively proposed with variation in elastic modulus with strain.
