In this study, obtaining theoretical stress-strain curves and determining the parameters defining the equivalent rectangular stress block were aimed for 3 and 4-layered rectangular Reinforced Concrete (RC) cross-sections subjected to flexure. For these aims, the analytical stress-strain model proposed by Hognestad was chosen for the concrete grades (20 MPa≤fck≤60 MPa) used in this study. The tensile strength of the concrete was neglected and the thickness of the concrete layers in the compression zone of the concrete cross-section was taken as equal. In addition, while concrete strength was kept constant within each layer, concrete strengths belonging to separate layers were increased from the neutral axis towards the outer face of the compression zone of the concrete cross-section. After the equivalent rectangular stress block parameters were determined by numerical iterations, variations of these parameters depending on concrete strength in layers and layer numbers were obtained. Finally, some analytical equations have been proposed to predict the equivalent stress block parameters for the 3 and 4-layered RC cross-sections and validities of these proposed equations were shown by different metrics in this study.

In the analysis of the effects of rock tunnel blasting vibration on adjacent existing buildings, the model of simplified equivalent load produces higher calculation result of vibration, due to the lack of consideration of the millisecond delay effect. This paper, based on the static force equivalence principle of blasting load, proposes a new determination method of equivalent load of blasting vibration. The proposed method, based on the elastic-static force equivalence principle of stress wave, equals the blasting loads of several single blastholes in the same section of millisecond blasting to the triangle blasting load curve of the exploded equivalent elastic boundary surface. According to the attenuation law of stress wave, the attenuated equivalent triangle blasting load curve of the equivalent elastic boundary is applied on the tunnel excavation contour surface, obtaining the final applied equivalent load. Taking the millisecond delay time of different sections into account, the time-history curve of equivalent load of the whole section applied on the tunnel excavation contour surface can be obtained. Based on Sailing Tunnel with small spacing on Sanmenxia-Xichuan Expressway, an analysis on the blasting vibration response of the later and early stages of the tunnel construction is carried out through numerical simulation using the proposed equivalent load model considering millisecond delay effect and the simplified equivalent triangle load curve model respectively. The analysis of the numerical results comparing with the field monitoring ones shows that the calculation results obtained from the proposed equivalent load model are closer to the measured ones and more feasible.

압출공법(incremental launching method)은 교대 배후에 거더 제작장소를 설치하고, 콘크리트를 이어쳐서 교량거더를 제작하고, 이것을 잭(jack)으로 밀어내는 가설방법이다. 이 공법에 의해 시공되는 교량의 상부단면은 시공 중에 지간의 중앙부와 지점부에 일시적이나마 모두 위치하게 된다. 따라서 단면들은 자중에 의해 발생되는 최대 정모멘트와 최대 부모멘트, 그리고 최대 전단력을 모두 경험하게 되는 구조적 특성을 가지고 있다. 한편 거더의 캔틸레버 작용을 감소시키기 위하여 거더의 선단에 압출추진코(launching nose)를 부착시킨다. 이때 상부단면에 발생하는 일시적인 응력의 크기는 압출추진코의 단면특성에 따라 달라진다. 이 연구에서는 압출추진코와 상부단면의 상호작용에 관한 해석식의 정확성을 유지하고, 활용도를 높이기 위해서 압출추진코를 유사등단면(강성;등단면, 중량;변단면)으로 가정하여 단순화된 해석식을 제안하였고, 압출추진코의 단면이 등단면으로 가정한 기존 해석식의 정확성을 향상시키기 위해서 다이아프램의 중량을 집중하중으로 치환시켜 변형된 등단면 해석식을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 2개의 해석식의 정확성과 활용성을 판단하기 위해 실제 ILM 교량 설계자료들을 통해 전산구조해석 프로그램과, 기존 해석식들과 비교 분석하였다.

The deflection of an end mill is very important in machining process and cutting simulation because it affects directly workpiece accuracy, cutting force, and chattering. In this study, the deflection of the end mill was studied both experimentally and by using finite element analysis. And the moment of inertia of cross sections of the helical end mill is calculated for the determination of the relation between geometry of radial cross section and rigidity of the tools. Using the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory and the concept of equivalent diameter, a deflection model is established, which includes most influences from tool geomety parameters. It was found that helix angle attenuates the rigidity of the end mill by the finite element analysis. As a result, the equivalent diameter is determined by tooth number, inscribed diameter ratio, cross sectional geometry and helix angle. Because the relation betweem equivalent diameter and each factor is nonlinear, neural network is used to decide the equivalent diameter. Input patterns and desired outputs for the neural network are obtained by FEM analysis in several case of end milling operations.

This study presents the development of a new aluminum seat frame for the commercial bus. Back moment and seat belt anchorage analysis of the conventional steel seat frame was conducted as a base model. Effective aluminum section dimensions for aluminum pipe were calculated from equivalent stiffness and equivalent weight study. Back moment and seat belt anchorage strength with the developed aluminum seat frame were compared to those of the base model. Additionally, to pass the fatigue test, shape modification of side frame assembly was conducted. From this study we could reduce the weight of seat frame more than 5 kg. And the current analysis model and procedure can provide useful informations in designing a new commercial car seat and can reduce the overall design cost and time.

As the height and flexibility of high-rise buildings increase, the wind loads become more dominant and the combination coefficient of Equivalent Static Wind Loads (ESWLs) should be considered when they are used in the structural design. In the first phase of the study, a brief introduction to the theory on the combination coefficient for high-rise buildings was given and then the time history of wind-induced responses of a 208-meter high-rise building with an elliptical cross-section was presented based on the wind tunnel test results for pressure measurement. The correlation between wind-induced responses was analyzed and the combination coefficients of ESWLs of the high-rise buildings using Turkstra's rule, and Asami's method, were calculated and compared with related design codes, e.g., AIJ-RLB, ASCE 7-10, and China Load Code for structural design. The results of the study showed that the combination coefficients from Asami's method are conservative compared with the other three methods. The results of this paper would be helpful to the wind-resistant design of high-rise buildings with elliptical cross-section.

It is supposed that crippling behavior of double hatted-section tube corresponds with rectangular tube without flange. Crippling plate coefficient is also calculated when section aspect ratio of tube is higher than one.

ILM 교량은 압출되는 동안 상부의 단면이 지간의 중앙부와 지점부를 모두 통과한다. 따라서 발생되는 최대 정모멘트 및 최대 부모멘트를 효과적으로 제어하기 위해서 압출추진코를 이용한다. 이 연구에서는 압출중 상부구조물에 발생하는 휨모멘트를 계산할 수 있는 다이아프램이 고려된 단순 해석식을 개발하였다. 또한 다이아프램이 고려된 압출추진코의 최적설계조건에 관하여 분석하였다. 단순 해석식을 MIDAS Civil과 비교한 결과 대부분의 경우 0.5%이하의 오차를 가지는 정확성을 확인하였다. 다이아프램의 영향을 고려했을 경우와 고려하지 않았을 경우 사례교량에서 최대 13%의 휨모멘트 차이를 보였다. 또한, 단순 해석식에 적용시킬 등가 등단면의 단위중량 및 평균강성값을 결정할 수 있는 기준을 제시하였다. 이 연구에서는 ILM 교량의 압출중 역학특성으로 인하여 부모멘트 최소화 조건만을 사용하는 것이 압출추진코 최적설계를 위한 효과적인 방법으로 판단하였다.

A novel multi-section power divider configuration is Proposed to obtain wide-band frequency performance up to microwave frequency region. Design procedures for the proposed microwave broadband power divider are composed of a Planar multi-section three-Ports hybrid and a waveguide transformer design procedures. The multi∼section power divider is based on design theory of the optimum quarter- wave transformer Furthermore, in order to obtain the broadband isolation performance between the two adjacent output ports, the odd mode equivalent circuit should be matched by using the lossy element such as resistor. The derived design formula for calculating these odd mode∼matching elements is based on the singly terminated filter design theory. The waveguide transformer section is designed to suppress the propagation of the higher order modes such as waveguide modes due to employing the metallic electric wall. Simulation and experiment show excellent performance of multi section power divider.
