본 논문은 하중에 따른 변화정도에 초점을 맞추어 PSC girder길이의 증가를 위해 Co-rotational Plane Beam with Arbitrary Section Solver를 통하여 비선형 구조해석을 진행하여 Jeon, S., Choi, M., and Kim, Y. 등에 의해 제시된 Decked girder의 구조적 우수성을 검증하고, 이를 보완한 새로운 단면형상의 PSG girder를 제시하였다. 도출된 결과 값은 탄성방정식을 통하여 얻은 값과 비교하여 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 해석을 통하여 단순히 girder 상단부 플랜지의 길이를 증가시키는 것은 girder의 변형정도를 줄이는데 큰 영향을 주지 않는 다는 사실을 알 수 있었고 girder 상단부 플랜지와 중심부를 연결하는 부분의 단면형상을 좀 더 두껍게 함으로 하중에 따른 girder의 변형량을 크게 감소시킬 수 있었다.

Thin-walled adaptive structures render a large and important group of adaptive structures. Typical material system used for them is a composite laminate that includes piezoelectric material based sensors and actuators. The piezoelectric active elements are in the form of thin patches bonded onto or embedded into the structure. Among different types of patches, the paper considers those polarized in the thickness direction. The finite element method (FEM) imposed itself as an essential technical support for the needs of structural design. This paper gives a brief description of a developed shell type finite element for active/adaptive thin-walled structures and the element is, furthermore, used as a tool to consider the aspect of mesh distortion over the surface of actuators and sensors. The aspect is of significance for simulation of behavior of adaptive structures and implementation of control algorithms.

The most of the design engineers for construction has academic background of bachelors degree. Theories for advanced composite structures are too difficult for such engineers and some simple but accurate enough methods are necessary. The senior author has reported that some laminate orientations have decreasing values of B$_{16}$, B$_{26}$, D$_{26}$, and D$_{26}$ stiffnesses as the ply number increases. Such plates above behave as special orthotropic plates and simple formulas developed by the senior author［1, 3］ can be used. Most of the bridge and building slabs on girders have large aspect ratios. For such cases further simplification is possible by neglecting the effect of the longitudinal moment terms(M$_{x}$) on the relevant partial differential equations of equilibrium. In this paper, the result of the study on the subject problem is presented.ted.d.

The research and applications of numerical methods of design optimization on structural dynamic behaviors are presented in this paper. The emphasis is focused on the dynamic design optimization of aerospace structures, particularly those composed of composite laminate and sandwich plates. The methods of design modeling, sensitivity analysis on structural dynamic responses, and the optimization solution approaches are presented. The numerical examples of sensitivity analysis and dynamic structural design optimization are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the numerical methods.

This paper deals with the buckling and postbuckling responses and the progressive failure of square symmetric laminates with rectangular cutouts under uniaxial compression. A detailed investigation is made to show the effects of cutout size and cutout aspect ratio on prebuckling and postbuckling responses, failure loads and failure characteristics of $(+45/-45/0/90)_{2s}$, $(+45/-45)_{4s}$ and $(0/90)_{4s}$ laminates. The 3-D Tsai-Hill criterion is used to predict the failure of a lamina while the onset of delamination is predicted by the interlaminar failure criterion. In addition, the effects of boundary conditions on buckling load, failure loads, failure modes and maximum transverse deflection for a $(+45/-45/0/90)_{2s}$ laminate with and without cutout have also been presented. It is concluded that square laminates with small square cutouts have more postbuckling strength than without cutout, irrespective of boundary conditions.

This paper presents a bending propagating actuation using SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) spring for an effective shape transition of a flytrap-inspired soft morphing structure. The flytrap-inspired soft morphing structure is made from unsymmetric CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Prepreg) structure which shows bi-stability and snap-through phenomenon. For a thin and large curved bistable CFRP structure, SMA spring is more acceptable than SMA wire and piezoelectric actuator which used in previous investigations. A bending propagating actuation is proposed which can induce snap-through of the bi-stable CFRP structure effectively. From this research, effective shape transition of soft morphing structure is possible.

구조물의 손상을 평가하기 위한 적용되는 태핑 테스트를 효과적이고, 정확하게 사용하기 위하여 적층판의 충격 시 발생하는 현상을 수치적인 방법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 구조물의 진동에 의해 방사되는 음은 구조물의 거동과 직접적으로 연관되므로 충격응답해석이 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 층간분리가 존재하는 적층판의 해석을 위하여 층간분리 모델을 사용하였으며, 해머 형상의 충격체를 모사할 수 있는 효과적인 스프링-질량모델을 제시하였다. 또한 태핑 테스트 시 방사되는 음압을 Rayleigh 적분식을 이용하여 해석하였다. 예측된 음압이력과 시험결과와 비교하였으며, 음압이력과 충격하중이력에 손상이 주는 영향을 검토하였다. 방사되는 음압과 충격하중이력은 적층판에 존재하는 손상에 영향을 받는 것을 보였다. 결과적으로 제안된 음을 이용한 태핑실험은 복합재에 존재하는 손상을 검출하는데 신뢰성 있는 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

In order to determine a minimum thickness of the pultruded GFRP panel as a structural member, some experimental studies were performed. GFRP tubes with 2mm, 4mm, 6mm thickness were manufactured by pultrusion process. First, coupon tests for finding mechanical properties were carried out. Comparisons between test results and analysis results based on classical laminate theory showed large differences in case of 2mm, 4mm specimens. The reason is that it is difficult to apply appropriate pultruding force and keep layered stitched fabric flat for the pultrusion process of complex shaped FRP member with small thickness. On the consequence, we decide 6mm as a minimum thickness of FRP member. Second, 4-point bending tests were performed and the results with compared with numerical analysis. The behavior of FRP tube can be exactly predicted by numerical analysis if buckling analysis is included.

The mechanical strength and crack propagation of plain woven carbon fiber fabric laminate composites are examined by acoustic emission(AE). AE signals are measured during the tensile test and fracture tests. Thus, the relationship between AE signal and load-displacement curves and crack extension length are shown. Also the fracture mechanisms in terms of AE characteristics are discussed in viewpoint of crack propagation behavior.
