Recently, aluminum is widely used to reduce the vehicle weight. Aluminum curved extruded products are used for the design of automotive frame parts. This study focuses on the determination of process condition fur automotive bumper beam with various curvatures. In this study, a curvature prediction model has been proposed considering the geometric relationship and the characteristic of the curvature extrusion equipment. Using the proposed model and FE analysis, the appropriated process condition was determined to produce the bumper beam. Finally, curvature extrusion experiment was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed curvature prediction model and the process condition.

Automotive brake system is an essential element for the safety. The system is powered by the circulation of brake oil. A braker hose is used for the circulation of the oil in this system. Layout of the hose changes according to the steering and stress occur in the hose. A lot of the durability tests are performed in order to prevent serious problems such as hose bursting by the accumulation of the stress before setting an optimized hose layout on automobile. The test is conducted for the layout which is same such as set in automobile. In the test, brake hose layout shall exercise the same mode of thousands of times under the high temperature and periodic pressure condition and then the damage of the tested hose is inspected. This test, however, has a disadvantage of heavy consumption of time and money. In order to compensate for these drawbacks, the finite element method(FEM) study was performed to predict the changes in the layout of the brake hose. In this study, the FEM results and the test results were compared and the validity was verified. The radius of curvature of the FEM and test at the same positions were especially investigated for the validation. Also, this study will be used as the basis of research on the life prediction of brake hose.

The aim of this paper is to examine the end bearing capacity of a pile in cohesionless soils. The ode of failure of soil due to pile installation is assumed from experimental observation of actual soil deformation. A new solution is proposed complying with the assumed mode of failure by employing the theory of cavity expansion. The effect of curvature of failure envelope is studied in relation to tile proposed solution. The influence of a curved failure envelope becomes larger with increasing degree of curvature and the level of confining stress. This effect in some cases or reduce the end bearing capacity by tore the 80 percent compared with that given by a straight failure envelope. For practical application of tile proposed solution, the method of determining the average volume change in the plastic zone is re-evaluated. The proposed solution is confirmed by comparing the theoretical values with experimental results obtained from model pile tests in a calibration chamber. The comparison shows that the proposed solution provides a reasonable prediction of end bearing capacity for both weak and strong grained soils.

Flexural capacity prediction is a challenging problem for externally prestressed concrete beams (EPCBs) due to the unbonded phenomenon between the concrete beam and external tendons. Many prediction equations have been provided in previous research but typically ignored the differences in deformation mode between internal and external unbonded tendons. The availability of these equations for EPCBs is controversial due to the inconsistent deformation modes and ignored second-order effects. In this study, the deformation characteristics and collapse mechanism of EPCB are carefully considered, and the ultimate deflected shape curves are derived based on the simplified curvature distribution. With the compatible relation between external tendons and the concrete beam, the equations of tendon elongation and eccentricity loss at ultimate states are derived, and the geometric interpretation is clearly presented. Combined with the sectional equilibrium equations, a rational and simplified flexural capacity prediction method for EPCBs is proposed. The key parameter, plastic hinge length, is emphatically discussed and determined by the sensitivity analysis of 324 FE analysis results. With 94 collected laboratory-tested results, the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed, and comparisons with the previous formulas are made. The results show the better prediction accuracy of the proposed method for both stress increments and flexural capacity of EPCBs and the main reasons are discussed.

In the present paper an analytical model was developed to study the non-linear vibrations of Functionally Graded Carbon Nanotube (FG-CNT) reinforced doubly-curved shallow shells using the Multiple Scales Method (MSM). The nonlinear partial differential equations of motion are based on the FGM shallow shell hypothesis, the non-linear geometric Von-Karman relationships, and the Galerkin method to reduce the partial differential equations associated with simply supported boundary conditions. The novelty of the present model is the simultaneous prediction of the natural frequencies and their mode shapes versus different curvatures (cylindrical, spherical, conical, and plate) and the different types of FG-CNTs. In addition to combining the vibration analysis with optimization algorithms based on the genetic algorithm, a design optimization methode was developed to maximize the natural frequencies. By considering the expression of the non-dimensional frequency as an objective optimization function, a genetic algorithm program was developed by valuing the mechanical properties, the geometric properties and the FG-CNT configuration of shallow double curvature shells. The results obtained show that the curvature, the volume fraction and the types of NTC distribution have considerable effects on the variation of the Dimensionless Fundamental Linear Frequency (DFLF). The frequency response of the shallow shells of the FG-CNTRC showed two types of nonlinear hardening and softening which are strongly influenced by the change in the fundamental vibration mode. In GA optimization, the mechanical properties and geometric properties in the transverse direction, the volume fraction, and types of distribution of CNTs have a considerable effect on the fundamental frequencies of shallow double-curvature shells. Where the difference between optimized and not optimized DFLF can reach 13.26%.

Discrete steel fibres can increase significantly the bending and the shear resistance of concrete structural elements when Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is designed in such a way that fibre reinforcing mechanisms are optimized. To assess the fibre reinforcement effectiveness in shallow structural elements failing in bending and in shear, experimental and numerical research were performed. Uniaxial compression and bending tests were executed to derive the constitutive laws of the developed SFRC. Using a cross-section layered model and the material constitutive laws, the deformational behaviour of structural elements failing in bending was predicted from the moment-curvature relationship of the representative cross sections. To evaluate the influence of the percentage of fibres on the shear resistance of shallow structures, three point bending tests with shallow beams were performed. The applicability of the formulation proposed by RILEM TC 162-TDF for the prediction of the shear resistance of SFRC elements was evaluated. Inverse analysis was adopted to determine indirectly the values of the fracture mode I parameters of the developed SFRC. With these values, and using a softening diagram for modelling the crack shear softening behaviour, the response of the SFRC beams failing in shear was predicted.

FRP로 보강된 콘크리트 부재의 파괴형태는 콘크리트 압괴와 섬유 파단으로 정의되며, 설계방법에 따라 한계상태를 조금씩 다르게 정의하고 있다. FRP 보강재는 섬유에 따라 성능이 상이하기 때문에 사용상태와 극한상태의 성능을 예측하는 것이 상대적으로 까다롭다. 특히 많이 사용되고 있는 ACI 440의 기준은 주로 저탄성계수를 갖는 GFRP를 중심으로 개발되었기 때문에 다른 섬유에 대한 적용성이 충분히 검증되지 않은 상태이다. 또한 ACI440의 휨한계상태는 보강비에 따라 압괴와 파단이 동시에 발생하는 천이영역이 상대적으로 크기 때문에 균형보강비에서의 거동예측이 상대적으로 어렵고, 사용성 예측 방법이 하중조건에 따라 민감하기 때문에 상대적으로 복잡한 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 0.8~1.2 𝜌_b의 보강비를 갖는 슬래브의 실험결과와 문헌고찰을 통하여 설계방법별 거동예측의 신뢰성과 편이성을 고찰하였다. 해석결과 Model Code의 모멘트 곡률식(LIM-MC) 간략식의 경우 FRP 보강구조물에도 충분히 적용할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, EC2에 기반한 한계상태 설계법이 상대적로 극한강도설계법보다 신뢰성 있는 결과를 나타내었다.

철근 콘크리트구조는 극한하중에서 연성파괴가 일어나도록 하는 것이 가장 중요한 설계개념의 하나이며 단면이 충분한 소성변형능력을 가지고 있을 때에는 한계상태설계법 개념을 도입하여 소성구조해석이나 모멘트 재분배를 수행하여 경제적인 단면을 설계할 수 있다. 따라서 휨연성지수는 설계된 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 휨거동을 예측하는데 뿐만 아니라 모멘트 재분배의 가능성을 판단하는데에도 이용된다. 그러나 휨연성지수 공식은 인장철근이 항복하는 순간의 곡률에 대하여 선형의 콘크리트 압축응력으로 가정하기 때문에 근사값의 휨연성지수를 계산하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트와 철근의 응력-변형도 곡선을 이용한 수치해석으로 이론적 정해에 가까운 휨연성지수를 구하고 각 변수에 따른 휨연성지수의 변화와 공식의 오차, 복철근보의 최대철근량은 고찰함으로써 철근콘크리트 구조설계의 참고자료를 제공하고자 하며 모멘트 재분배에 관한 연구에 이용될 수 있는 철근 콘크리트 휨부재의 모멘트-곡률 곡선 모델을 제시하고자 한다.
