For the elasto-plastic analysis of a circular tunnel driven in a strain-softening rock mass subjected to a hydrostatic in-situ stress condition, this study suggests a convenient elasto-plastic analysis scheme which takes the strain-softening of GSI index into account and demonstrates its potential as a numerical tool in designing a circular tunnel. The suggested numerical scheme was developed by modifying the previous elasto-plastic procedure proposed by Lee & Pietruszczak(2008). With the assumption that GSI index of rock mass adjacent to the tunnel surface may be degraded due to the damage caused by the blasting and excavation, the concept of the strain-softening of GSI index was invoked. The concept provides a useful tool considering the strain-softening of the strength parameters appearing in the generalized Hoek-Brown criterion because these parameters can be evaluated empirically by use of GSI. In order to check the validity of the proposed scheme, the elasto-plastic analyses for circular tunnels were performed in various analysis conditions and the results were discussed.

In this paper the kinematics of damage for finite elastoplastic deformations is introduced using the fourth-order damage effect tensor through the concept of the effective stress within the framework of continuum damage mechanics. Unlike the approach of strain equivalence or energy equivalence, which is applicable only to small strains, the proposed kinematic description provides a relation between the effective strain and the damage elastoplastic strain in finite deformation. This is accomplished by directly considering the kinematics of the deformation field both real configuration. The proposed approach shows that it is equivalent to the hypothesis of energy equivalence at finite strains. The damage effect tensor in this work is explicitly characterized in terms of a kinematic measure of damage in the elastoplastic domain through a second-order damage tensor.

An interpretation for the additive and multiplicative decomposition theory of the deformation gradient tensor in finite deformation problems is presented. the conventional methods have not provided the additive deformation velocity gradient. Moreover the plastic deformation velocity gradients are not free from elastic deformations. In this paper, a modified multiplicative decomposition is introduced with the assumption of coaxial plastic deformation velocity gradient. This strategy well gives the additive deformation velocity gradient in which the plastic deformation velocity gradient is not affect4d by the elastic deformation.

The Strain rate effect in electro-magnetic forming, which is one of the high velocity forming methods, is studied by the finite element method in this paper. The forming process is simplified by neglecting the coupling between magnetic field and work-piece deformation, and the impulsive magnetic pressure is regarded as inner pressure load. A rate-dependent elasto-plastic material model, of which tangential modulus depends of effective strain rate, is proposed. The model is shown to well describe the transient increase of yield stresses, the decreases of the final displacement and yield stress, the decrease of the difference in the distribution of deformation along the axial direction, and the change of deformation mechanism due to strain rate effect. As a result, displacement, final deformed shape, radial velocity, deformation energy, and the changes of effective stress, effective strain and effective strain rate through plastic working are given. Based on the results, the effectiveness of this model and the strain rate effect of the deformation process of the work-piece are discussed.

본 연구에서는 국부질점 좌표계(natural convected coordinate system)를 이 용하여 변형을 묘사하는 대변형을 고려한 탄소성 증분수식을 유도하고 또 이에 해당하 는 유한 요소 방정식을 구하였다. 국부 질점 좌표계를 사용함으로써 변형도 성분이 나 구성 방정식의 성분들에 대한 좌표 변환 과정을 생략하도록 한다. 재료는 수직 이방성으로 가정하였다. 이 수식화의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 원형 격막의 정수압 벌징을 해석하고 해석 결과는 실험 결과와 이미 발표된 실험 및 해석 결과와 비교하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper is to study elasto-plastic behavior of shear deformed braced frames. Two types of frames are considered , X-type and K-type. The slenderness ratio has been used in the parametric study. The stress-strain curve is assumed tri-linear model, and considered the strain hardening range. The finite difference method is used to solve the load-displacement relationship of the braced frames. For the elastic slope and maximum load, experimental results are compared with theoretical results and its difference remains less than 10%. Therefore suggested method in this paper is reasonable.

In the companion paper, we provided the novel elastic-plastic constitutive model based on the micromechanics theory. Herein, the elastic and elastic-plastic deformation of granular soils is meticulously analyzed. To guarantee high accuracy of the microscopic parameter, the systematic procedure to evaluate the parameters is provided. The analysis of the elastic response during the isotropic and triaxial compression shows that the stress-level dependency of cross-anisotropic elastic moduli is induced by the power relationship of the contact force in the normal contact stiffness, while the evolution of fabric anisotropy is more pronounced during triaxial compression. The micromechanical analysis indicates that the plastic strains are likely to occur at very small strains. The plastic deformation of tangential contacts has an important role in the reduction of soil stiffness during axial loading.

To describe hysteretic behavior of steel structures under dynamic loading such as earthquake, the dynamic cyclic plasticity model considering stress-strain relationship and characteristics of used steel materials under static-dynamic deforming is required. In this paper, mechanical characteristics and stress-strain relationship of SM490 was clarified by carrying out static-dynamic monotonic and cyclic loading test. A dynamic cyclic plasticity model of SM490 was proposed based on the test results and applied 3-dimensional finite element analysis using finite deformation theory. An analytical method developed by the authors was verified validity and accuracy by comparing both analysis and test results. The comparison result shows that the analytical method developed by the authors can predict static-dynamic hysteretic behavior of steel structures with accuracy.

연약지반상에 하중 경감을 목적으로 발포성 폴리스티렌(Expanded Polystyrene)을 사용하는 사례가 최근 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 공법의 요점은 연약지반상에 축조되는 상부구조물에 의한 응력증가를 감소시켜서 결국에는 침하를 방지하기 위한 것이다. 이것을 지오폼(geofoam)이라고 하는데, 지오폼은 교대나 옹벽의 뒷채움재로 사용할 경우 횡토압을 감소시키기 때문에 옹벽이나 교대의 뒷채움재료로 사용하기도 한다. 이와 같이 그 사용이 꾸준히 증가하고 있지만 뒷채움이나 연악지반상에 사용할 때 지오폼의 거동을 예측하는 적절한 수치모델이 아직은 개발되자 않았다. 본 연구에서는 지오폼의 응력-변형 특성을 연구하고 그 탄소성 예측모델을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 삼축압축시험을 실시하였으며 구속응력과 지오폼의 밀도를 다양하게 변화시켜 그 응력-변형특성을 조사하고 회귀분석을 통하여 비선형 구성모델을 제시하였다. 그 결과 지오폼은 탄성 선형모델보다 탄소성모델 특성에 더 가까운 것을 알 수 있었으며 체적변화율과 축방향 변형률에는 특별한 상관 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
