A simple numerical method is applied to calculate the large deflection of a cantilever beam under an elastic-plastic deformation by dividing the deformed axis into a number of small segments. Assuming that each segment can be approximated as a circular arc, the method allows large deflections and plastic deformation to be analyzed. The main interests are the load-deflection relationship, curvature distribution along the beam and the length of the plastic region. The method is proved to be easy and particularly versatile. Comparisons with other studies are given.

The shape of K-R curve for an ideally brittle material is flat because the surface energy is an unvaried material property. However, the K-R curve can take on a variety of shapes when nonlinear material behavior accompanies fracture. By the way, a general metallic material is nonlinear, structural steel is such. Therefore, the J-R curve form J-integral value instead of K parameters can be used to evaluate elastic-plastic materials with flaws in terms of ductile fracture that can be significant to design. In this paper, R-curve behaviors form K and J parameter is considered for the precise assessment of fracture analysis, in case of JS-SS400 steels.

Although a structural analysis based on e linear elastic theory yields good results for deformations and stresses produced by working loads, it fails to assess the teal load-carrying of the plates on the verge of yielding. In case of a limit analysis of plates, the yield line theory is widely used on the basis of the upper bound theorem and theoretically it overestimates the strength of the plate. There is, therefore, a general need for analytical methods of predicting the inelastic behavior and load-carrying capacities of plate subjected to arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. The $\rho$-version of finite element method has been presented for determining the accurate limit load of plates. The numerical results by $\rho$-version model compares with the results obtained by the h-version software ADINA as well as with the available analytical solutions in literatures.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the ultimate behavior of steel cable-stayed bridges with design variables and compare the validity and applicability of computational methods for evaluating ultimate load capacity of cable-stayed bridges. The methods considered in this paper are elastic buckling analysis, inelastic buckling analysis and nonlinear elasto-plastic analysis. Elastic buckling analysis uses a numerical eigenvalue calculation without considering geometric nonlinearities of cable-stayed bridges and the inelastic material behavior of main components. Inelastic buckling analysis uses an iterative eigenvalue calculation to consider inelastic material behavior, but cannot consider geometric nonlinearities of cable-stayed bridges. The tangent modulus concept with the column strength curve prescribed in AASHTO LRFD is used to consider inelastic buckling behavior. Detailed procedures of inelastic buckling analysis are presented and corresponding computer codes were developed. In contrast, nonlinear elasto-plastic analysis uses an incremental-iterative method and can consider both geometric nonlinearities and inelastic material behavior of a cable-stayed bridge. Proprietary software ABAQUS are used and user-subroutines are newly written to update equivalent modulus of cables to consider geometric nonlinearity due to cable sags at each increment step. Ultimate load capacities with the three analyses are evaluated for numerical models of cable-stayed bridges that have center spans of 600 m, 900 m and 1200 m with different girder depths and live load cases. The results show that inelastic buckling analysis is an effective approximation method, as a simple and fast alternative, to obtain ultimate load capacity of long span cable-stayed bridges, whereas elastic buckling analysis greatly overestimates the overall stability of cable-stayed bridges.

Measuring the residual stress in the components in nuclear power plants is crucial to their safety evaluation. The instrumented indentation technique is a minimally invasive approach that can be conveniently used to determine the residual stress in structural materials in service. Because the indentation behavior of a structure with residual stresses is closely related to the elastic-plastic behavior of the indented material, an accurate understanding of the elastic-plastic behavior of the material is essential for evaluation of the residual stresses in the structures. However, due to the analytical problems associated with solving the elastic-plastic behavior, empirical equations with limited applicability have been used. In the present study, the impact of the non-equibiaxial residual stress state on indentation behavior was investigated using finite element analysis. In addition, a new nonequibiaxial residual-stress prediction methodology is proposed using a convolutional neural network, and the performance was validated. A more accurate residual-stress measurement will be possible by applying the proposed residual-stress prediction methodology in the future.

고체 연료 추진기관의 연소관에 대한 구조 특성 및 안전성을 평가하기 위해 탄소성 구조해석을 수 행하였다. 기본 모델인 토리구형(torispherical) 돔 형상을 갖는 연소관에 대해 2차원 축대칭 모델과 3차원 전체 모델에 대해 구조 해석을 비교 평가하였으며, 볼트 모델에 대한 체결력이 고려되었다. 이때, 단순화된 2차원 축대칭 모델과 3차원 전체 모델의 응력과 변위에 대한 해석 결과가 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 따라서 연소관의 초기 설계단계에서 빠른 구조 안전성 검증과 모델링 및 해석 시간의 절감을 위해 단순화된 2차원 축대칭 모델이 추천된다. 또한, 최적의 돔 형상을 선택하기 위해 5가지 돔 형상에 따른 연소관에 대해 구조 특성 및 안전성을 평가하였다.

ALFD방법은 연속합성판형교의 과재하중과 최대하중에 대한 강도검토에 있어서 실제적인 거동을 나타낼 수 있는 탄소성해석법이다. 주어진 하중으로 인한 최대 정, 부모멘트단면에서의 항복은 활하중이 통과한 후에 잔류하는 소성회전을 일으킨다. 또한 제조시의 잔류응력으로 인하여 이론적인 항복모멘트 이하에서도 소성변형을 일으킨다. 이러한 국부항복은 다음에 작용되는 과재하중하에서 탄성화되어 정의 자생모멘트를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 지점과 최대 정모멘트 단면에서의 단위소성회전각으로 인한 자생모멘트를 공액보법과 3연모멘트법에 의하여 구하였고, 9개의 설계경간을 지점단면을 감소시켜가면서 본 연구에서 개발한 전산프로그램에 의하여 연속관계와 모멘트-비탄성회전각 실험곡선과 일치하는 자생모멘트를 구하였다. 또한 한국도로교시방서에 준하여 비조밀단면을 갖는 3경간 연속합성판형교의 평가를 수행하였다.

This paper proposes penalty factor equations that take into consideration the weld strength over-match given in the classified form similar to the revised equations presented in the Code Case N-779 via cyclic elastic-plastic finite element analysis. It was found that the $K_e$ analysis data reflecting elastic follow-up can be consolidated by normalizing the primary-plus-secondary stress intensity ranges excluding the nonlinear thermal stress intensity component, $S_n$ to over-match degree of yield strength, $M_F$. For the effect of over-match on $K_n{\times}K_{\nu}$, dispersion of the $K_n{\times}K_{\nu}$ analysis data can be sharply reduced by dividing total stress intensity range, excluding local thermal stresses, $S_{p-lt}$ by $M_F$. Finally, the proposed equations were applied to the weld between the safe end and the piping of a pressurizer surge nozzle in pressurized water reactors in order to calculate a cumulative usage factor. The cumulative usage factor was then compared with those derived by the previous $K_e$ factor equations. The result shows that application of the proposed equations can significantly reduce conservatism of fatigue assessment using the previous $K_e$ factor equations.

The beam string structure (BSS) has been widely applied in large span roof structures, while no analytical solutions of BSS were derived for it in the existing literature. In the first part of this paper, calculation formulas of displacement and internal forces were obtained by the Ritz-method for the most commonly used arc-shaped BSS under the vertical uniformly distributed load and the prestressing force. Then, the failure mode of BSS was proposed based on the static equilibrium. On condition the structural stability was reliable, BSS under the uniformly distributed load would fail by tensile strength failure of the string, and the beam remained in the elastic or semi-plastic range. On this basis, the limit load of BSS was given in virtue of the elastic solutions. In order to verify the linear elastic and limit state solutions proposed in this paper, three BSS modal were tested and the corresponding elastoplastic large deformation analysis was performed by the ANSYS program. The proposed failure mode of BSS was proved to be correct, and the analytical results for the linear elastic and limit state were in good agreement with the experimental and FEM results.

다양한 평면변형률 시편들의 균열선단 탄·소성 응력상태들에 대한 경우, 여러 연구들을 동해, J-T접근방법의 유효 타당성이 충분히 검증되어졌다. 그러나 J-T 두 변수에 의한 균열선단 응력장 예측의 타당성을 보편화시키기 위해서는, 평면변형률 시편들과 같이 이상화된 구조가 아닌 실제적인 3차원 구조형상에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 배경으로 본 연구에서는 평판과 직관에 대해 완전 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하여 얻어진 응력장과 계산된 J-T두 변수로 예측되는 응력장을 비교함으로써, J-T 접근방법의 유효성 내지 한계성을 규명하였다.
