In this paper, crack detection method using eigen value analysis is presented. Three methods are used: theoretical analysis, finite element method with the cracked beam elements and finite element method with three dimensional continuum elements. Finite element formulation of the cracked beam element is introduced. Additional term about stress intensity factor based on fracture mechanics theory is added to flexibility matrix of original beam to model the crack. As using calculated stiffness matrix of cracked beam element and mass matrix, natural frequencies are calculated by eigen value analysis. In the case of using continuum elements, the natural frequencies could be calculated by using EDISON CASAD solver. Several cases of crack are simulated to obtain natural frequencies corresponding the crack. The surface of natural frequency is plotted as changing with crack location and depth. Inverse analysis method is used to find crack location and depth from the natural frequencies of experimental data, which are referred by another papers. Predicted results are similar with the true crack location and depth.

In this paper the geometrically nonlinear continuum plate finite element model, hitherto not reported in the literature, is developed using the total Lagrange formulation. With the layerwise displacement field of Reddy, nonlinear Green-Lagrange small strain large displacements relations (in the von Karman sense) and linear elastic orthotropic material properties for each lamina, the 3D elasticity equations are reduced to 2D problem and the nonlinear equilibrium integral form is obtained. By performing the linearization on nonlinear integral form and then the discretization on linearized integral form, tangent stiffness matrix is obtained with less manipulation and in more consistent form, compared to the one obtained using laminated element approach. Symmetric tangent stiffness matrixes, together with internal force vector are then utilized in Newton Raphson's method for the numerical solution of nonlinear incremental finite element equilibrium equations. Despite of its complex layer dependent numerical nature, the present model has no shear locking problems, compared to ESL (Equivalent Single Layer) models, or aspect ratio problems, as the 3D finite element may have when analyzing thin plate behavior. The originally coded MATLAB computer program for the finite element solution is used to verify the accuracy of the numerical model, by calculating nonlinear response of plates with different mechanical properties, which are isotropic, orthotropic and anisotropic (cross ply and angle ply), different plate thickness, different boundary conditions and different load direction (unloading/loading). The obtained results are compared with available results from the literature and the linear solutions from the author's previous papers.

To investigate the mechanical behavior of the post-tensioned prestressed concrete lining (PPCL), the desilting tunnel of the Xiaolangdi Hydro Project in China is adopted as a case, and a detailed three-dimensional continuum model verified by the observation results is established for the PPCL. The radial stresses, longitudinal stresses, axial forces and bending moments of the PPCL under the completed cable tension condition (CCTC) and design water pressure condition (DWPC) are analyzed, respectively. The numerical results reveal that the PPCL concrete is significantly compressed in the circumferential direction by the prestress, while the prestress has a negligible influence on the radial stresses of the PPCL concrete. It should be noted that the concrete near the anchor slots has a complex and adverse stress state with stress concentration, longitudinal tensioning and large bending moment. In addition, a simplified shell model and a further simplified beam model which can take the influences of the prestress loss and the anchor slot into consideration are proposed for the PPCL. The results of the simplified models are in a good agreement with these of the three-dimensional continuum model, and they can be used as efficient approaches for the structural design and analysis of the PPCL.

불연속체 해석을 이용하여 터널 안정성 해석을 수행할 경우 해석 결과는 절리 모델의 선택에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 이용한 불연속체 터널 안정성 해석에 있어 BB모델 적용시의 해석 결과와 MC모델 적용시의 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 또한 주어진 응력 조건과 터널 형상에 따른 암반의 변형 거동을 규명하기 위하여 불연속체 해석 결과와 연속체 해석 결과를 비교하였다. 연속체 해석결과와 BB 모델을 사용한 불연속체 해석 결과는 변위 및 응력 분포는 비슷한 양상을 보이는 반면. MC모델을 사용한 불연속체 해석결과는 이와 다른 양상을 보였다. 또한 MC모델을 사용하여 불연속체 해석을 실시할 경우 절리의 영향을 명시적으로 고려하였음에도 불구하고 연속체 해석 결과에 비해 변위 및 최소 주응력이 더 작게 발생할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다 이는 MC모델이 실제 절리의 변형거동 특성을 현실적으로 모사할 수 없기 때문에 발생되는 결과이며.특히 절리면의 전단거동에 무관하게 팽창각을 일정한 상수로 취급하는 MC 모델의 특성으로 인한 결과이다

Hygroexpansion of wood is a known and undesired characteristic in civil engineering. When wood is exposed to changing environmental humidity, it adsorbs or desorbs moisture and warps. The resulting distortions or - at restrained conditions - cracks are a major concern in timber engineering. We herein present a multiscale model for prediction of the macroscopic hygroexpansion behavior of individual pieces of softwood from their microstructure, demonstrated for spruce. By applying poromicromechanics, we establish a link between the swelling pressure, driving the hygroexpansion of wood at the nanoscale, and the resulting macroscopic dimensional changes. The model comprises six homogenization steps, which are performed by means of continuum micromechanics, the unit cell method and laminate theory, all formulated in a poromechanical framework. Model predictions for elastic properties of wood as functions of the moisture content closely approach corresponding experimental data. As for the hygroexpansion behavior, the swelling pressure has to be back-calculated from macroscopic hygroexpansion data. The good reproduction of the anisotropy of wood hygroexpansion, based on only a single scalar calibration parameter, underlines the suitability of the model. The multiscale model constitutes a valuable tool for studying the effect of microstructural features on the macroscopic behavior and for assessing the hygroexpansion behavior at smaller length scales, which are inaccessible to experiments. The model predictions deliver input parameters for the analysis of timber at the structural scale, therewith enabling to optimize the use of timber and to prevent moisture-induced damage or failure.

In this work, a novel reliability approach for combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) estimation is developed by combining active learning strategy with least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) (named as ALS-SVM) surrogate model to address the multi-resources uncertainties, including working loads, material properties and model itself. Initially, a new active learner function combining LS-SVM approach with Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is presented to improve computational efficiency with fewer calls to the performance function. To consider the uncertainty of surrogate model at candidate sample points, the learning function employs k-fold cross validation method and introduces the predicted variance to sequentially select sampling. Following that, low cycle fatigue (LCF) loads and high cycle fatigue (HCF) loads are firstly estimated based on the training samples extracted from finite element (FE) simulations, and their simulated responses together with the sample points of model parameters in Coffin-Manson formula are selected as the MC samples to establish ALS-SVM model. In this analysis, the MC samples are substituted to predict the CCF reliability of turbine blades by using the built ALS-SVM model. Through the comparison of the two approaches, it is indicated that the reliability model by linear cumulative damage rule provides a non-conservative result compared with that by the proposed one. In addition, the results demonstrate that ALS-SVM is an effective analysis method holding high computational efficiency with small training samples to gain accurate fatigue reliability.

본 연구는 NATM 터널의 천단변위, 내공변위, 숏크리트 응력, 록볼트 축력 등의 현장 계측치를 분석하고, 2D 3D 연속체 수치해석 및 2D 불연속체 불연속면 변형 해석을 실시, 그 결과를 비교 검토하여 각 구간의 시공과정에 따른 전반적인 변위와 거동의 경향성 및 수치해석적 접근의 적용성을 검토하고자 하였다. 그 결과 전단면 굴착 구간(지보패턴 P1~P3)에서 터널의 천단 및 내공변위를 예측하고자 할 시에는 2D 연속체 수치해석만으로도 가능하나, 상 하 반단면 구간(지보패턴 P4~P6)에서 터널의 천단 및 내공변위를 예측하고자 할 시에는 반드시 2D 불연속 수치해석을 수행하여야 한다. 한편, 2D 연속체 수치해석만으로도 전 구간에 대한 터널 내 숏크리트 응력 및 록볼트 축력의 예측이 가능하다. 그리고 시공 단계에 따른 거동 및 경향성을 확인하고자 할 시에는 3D 연속체 수치해석을 수행하여야 하며, 대형 대피소 등의 접속부의 경우도 반드시 3D 연속체 수치해석을 수행하여야 한다.

발파설계가 터널 굴착 시 암반손상 및 여굴에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 암반손상 및 여굴이 터널 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로서 발파설계가 터널 지보설계에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 도로터널의 일반적인 발파패턴에 대해 동적발파 수치해석을 시행하고 연속체 손상역학(continuum damage mechanics)의 손상변수(damage variable)를 이용하여 여굴과 암반손상 정도를 분석함으로서 터널 굴착면 주위의 암반손상 정도와 영역을 구분하였다. 또한 발파하중 같은 동적하중이 암반내를 전파할 때 변화하는 암반의 동적파괴기준에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 발파 암반손상 영향을 터널 안정성 해석에 반영하기 위하여 손상된 암반강성과 파괴기준을 적용하였다. 손상된 암반강성은 손상역학의 강도감소 모델을 이용하여 감소시켰다. 손상된 암반의 파괴기준은 암반강성과 지질강도지수의 관계식에서 도출한 손상된 지질강도지수(GSI$GSI_d$)를 적용함으로서 산출한 수정 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 적용하였다. 암반손상을 고려하여 터널안정성을 해석한 결과, 암반손상을 고려하지 않는 경우와 비교하여 소성영역 범위가 확대되고 변위량이 증가하였다. 이는 발파암반손상을 고려하지 않고 터널설계를 하는 경우 단기적 혹은 장기적으로 터널안정성이 위협받을 수 있음을 나타내었다.

Initiation and growth of delamination is a great concern of designers of composite structures. Interface elements with de-cohesive constitutive law in the content of continuum damage mechanics can be used to predict initiation and growth of delamination in single and mixed mode conditions. In this paper, an interface element based on the cohesive zone method has been developed to simulate delaminatoin growth of post-buckled laminate under fatigue loading. The model was programmed as the user element and user material by the "User Programmable Features" in ANSYS finite element software. The interface element is a three-dimensional 20 node brick with small thickness. Because of mixed-mode condition of stress field at the delamination-front of post-buckled laminates, a mixed-mode bilinear constitutive law has been used as user material in this model. The constitutive law of interface element has been verified by modelling of a single element. A composite laminate with initial delamination under quasi-static compressive Loading available from literature has been remodeled with the present approach. Moreover, it will be shown that, the closer the delamination to the free surface of laminate, the slower the delamination growth under compressive fatigue loading. The effects of laminate configuration on delamination growth are also investigated.
