Existing numerical models for strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) are short of providing sufficiently accurate solutions to the failure patterns of coupling beams of different designs. The objective of this study is to develop an effective model that is capable of simulating the nonlinear behavior of SHCC coupling beams subjected to cyclic loading. The beam model proposed in this study is a macro-scale plane stress model. The effects of cracks on the macro-scale behavior of SHCC coupling beams are smeared in an anisotropic model. In particular, the influence of the defined crack orientations on the simulation accuracy is explored. Extensive experimental data from coupling beams with different failure patterns are employed to evaluate the validity of the proposed SHCC coupling beam models. The results show that the use of the suggested shear stiffness retention factor for damaged SHCC coupling beams is able to effectively enhance the simulation accuracy, especially for shear-critical SHCC coupling beams. In addition, the definition of crack orientation for damaged coupling beams is found to be a critical factor influencing the simulation accuracy.

This paper describes the design processes and evaluation results of a small-sized six-axis force/torque sensor. The new six-axis force/torque sensor including S-type structure has been developed using a parallel plate structure as a basic sensing element. In order tominimize coupling errors, the location of strain gages has been determined based on the finite element analysis and the connections of strain gages have been made such that the bridge circuit with 4 strain gages becomes balanced. Several design modifications result in a similar strain sensitivity for six-axis forces and moments, and the reduced coupling errors of 2.6% FS between each forces and moments. Calibration test results show that the six-axis load cell developed which has light weight of 135g and the maximum capacities of 196 N in forces and 19.6 N.m in moments is estimated to be within 7.1% FS in coupling error.

In this study, a strut-and-tie models for the coupling beam based on deformations are presented. To design shear-dominated R/C coupling beams, it is important to consider shear strength deterioration with required deformations. This study proposes the method of estimating shear strength of the reinforced concrete coupling beams. The proposed method determines the strain states from target displacements based on the nonlinear truss analysis. The estimated horizontal strain of beam is then used in calculating the strength of the diagonal strut with compatibility conditions. The deterioration of shear strength of the coupling beam depends on the strength degradation of struts due to plastic deformations.

Misaligned shafts of the rotating machinery have caused noise, vibration. bearing failures, and stress concentration of coupling parts which decrease the efficiency and life of shaft systems. Therefore the proper shaft alignment of those system should be monitored continuously in dynamic condition. To solve these problems under dynamic condition a telemetry system is used. In this study, the condition of the least bending moment which is known by analyzing the structure and stress induced by misalignment is found. After the shaft is aligned by dial gage, a telemetry system with strain gages is installed on shaft. The relationship between bearing displacement and moment of coupling part influenced by misalignment is investigated. The moment derived from two shaft strain at the nearby coupling is measured. The bending strain is measured 5 times for average in static state as well as in dynamic state with 100∼700 rpm.

An experimental investigation on the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams is presented. The test variables are the span-to-depth ratio, the ratio of flexural reinforcement and the ratio of shear rebar. The distribution of arch action and truss action which compose the mechanism of shear resistance is discussed. This study proposes the deformation model for reinforced concrete coupling beams considering the bond slip of flexural reinforcement. The yielding of flexural reinforcements determines yielding states and the ultimate states of reinforced concrete coupling beam are defined as the ultimate compressive strain of struts and the degradation of compressive strength due to principal tensile strain of struts. It is expected that this model can be applied to displacement-based design methods.

Coupled shear walls consist of two or more in-plane walls inter-connected with coupling beams. In order to effectively resist seismic loads, coupling beams must be sufficiently stiff, strong and posses a stable load-deflection hysteretic response. Much of requirements to the civil and building structures have recently been changed in accordance with the social and economic progress. Ductility of high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites(HPFRCCs), which exhibit strain hardening and multiple crackling characteristics under the uniaxial tensile stress is drastically improved. This paper provides background for design guidelines that include a design model to calculate the shear strength of pseudo strain hardening cementitious composite steel coupling beam.

본 논문에서는 제작이 용이한 십자형 구조를 기본구조로 사용하여 판스프링 고정단을 가진 유연한 6축 로드셀을 설계하였다. 이를 위하여 유한요소법해석을 이용하여 강체 고정단과 판스프링 고정단에 대한 변형 분석을 하였으며 이로부터 특성이 우수한 6축 힘/토크 센서를 설계하였다. 변형률 분포를 이용하여 각 축의 하중에 대한 출력변형률이 비슷한 수준이 되도록 스트레인 게이지 위치를 정하고 상호간섭 변형률이 최소화 되도록 이들로 연결된 브리지회로를 구성하였다. 강체 고정단 대신에 스프링판 고정단을 이용하면 고정 경계부의 조건을 변화시킬 수 있어서 십자형 로드셀의 특성을 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있었다. 치수 변경을 통하여 설계된 6축 로드셀에 대한 상호 간섭오차는 모든 축에서 0으로 계산되었으며 각 축에서 발생하는 출력변형률 값도 $400\;{\mu}m/m$의 비슷한 수준으로 결정되었다.

This paper presents the design process and evaluaation results of a two-axis force transducer for measuring flange reaction forces. A double-cantilever beam structure is used as a sensing element, and its optimal configuration is determined based on the derived strain equations to maximize the sensitivity and minimize the regid body displacements. To reduce the coupling errors between two-axis forces, strain distributions by finite elemetns analysis are utilized and the Wheaststone bridge cricuits composed of strain gages are built such that the output voltage should be zero, although strains of four strain gages are not zero. Calibration test shows that the two-azxis force transducer developed in this paper is useful in measuring flange reaction forces within the coupling error of 5.53%.

콘크리트 부재의 내진설계에 있어 강도와 더불어 변형 능력은 중요한 요소이다. 연결보는 전단 지배 부재임에도 항복 이후 소성 변형을 요구하는 부재인데 본 연구에서는 연결보의 변형 능력에 대한 실험을 통해 변형 모형을 제시하였다. 일반적인 배근 형태를 가진 철근 콘크리트 연결보를 대상으로 단조하중실험을 수행하였다. 경간-깊이비, 휨 철근비, 전단 철근비를 변수로 하여 연결보의 거동을 평가하였다. 전단 지배 부재인 연결보는 아치작용과 트러스 작용으로 전단력에 대해 저항하는데 실험 결과를 통해 전단력을 두 작용의 구분과 항복 강도 발현 이후 소성 변형에 따른 두 작용의 구성비 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 실험결과에 기초한 전단 철근과 휨 철근의 변형률 분포 모형을 이용하여 휨 철근의 응력 상태를 산정하였다. 휨 철근의 부착-미끄러짐에 의해 결정되는 균열폭을 고려하는 연결보의 변형 모형을 제시하였다. 항복 상태는 휨 철근의 항복 시점으로 정의하였고, 극한 상태는 변형 증가에 따른 스트럿의 압축 강도 저하에 의해 결정되었다. 이 변형 모형은 변위기초설계에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
