This study aims to examine the structural response of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (Glass-FRP) reinforced geopolymer electronic waste aggregate concrete (GEWC) compression elements under axial compression for sustainable development. The research includes the fabrication of nine GEWC circular compression elements with different reinforcement ratios and a 3-D nonlinear finite element model using ABAQUS. The study involves a detailed parametric analysis to examine the impact of various parameters on the behavior of GEWC compression elements. The results indicate that reducing the vertical distance of glass-FRP ties improves the ductility of GEWC compression elements, and those with eight longitudinal rebars have higher axial load-carrying capacities. The finite element predictions were in good agreement with the testing results, and the put forwarded empirical model shows higher accuracy than previous models by involving the confinement effect of lateral glass-FRP ties on the axial strength of GEWC compression elements. This research work contributes to minimizing the carbon footprint of cement manufacturing and electronic waste materials for sustainable development.

This paper presents numerical and theoretical investigations on the strain rate in steel-concrete composite (SC) panels under low-velocity impact of a hemispherical rigid body. Finite element analyses were performed on five specimens with different loading rates. The impact energy was kept constant to eliminate its influence by simultaneously altering the velocity and mass of the projectile. Results show that the strain rate in most parts of the specimens was low and its influence on bearing capacity and energy dissipation was limited in an average sense of space and time. Therefore, the strain rate effect can be ignored for the analyses of global deformation. However, the strain rate effect should be considered in local contact problems. Equations of the local strain and strain rate were theoretically derived.

Shot peening is widely used to improve the fatigue life and strength of various mechanical parts and an accurate method is important for the prediction of the compressive residual stress caused by this process. A finite element (FE) model with an elliptical multi-shot is suggested for random-angled impacts. Solutions for compressive residual stress using this model and a normal random vertical-impact one with a spherical multi-shot are obtained and compared. The elliptical multi-shot experimental solution is closer to an X-ray diffraction (XRD) than the spherical one. The FE model's peening coverage also almost reaches the experimental one. The effectiveness of the model based on an elliptical shot ball is confirmed by these results and it can be used instead of previous FE models to evaluate the compressive residual stress produced on the surface of metal by shot peening in various industries.

Researches using time reversal acoustics (TRA) for impact localization have been paid attention to recently. Dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves, which restrict the utility of classical nondestructive evaluation based on time-of-flight information, can be compensated through the application of TRA to Lamb waves on a plate. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate using finite element analysis. In particular, the virtual sensor effect caused by multiple wave reflections at the boundaries of the plate is shown to enable the spatial focusing of Lamb waves though a very small number of surface-bonded piezoelectric (PZT) sensors are available. The time window size of forward response signals, are normalized with respect to the number of virtual active sensors. Then their effects on the spatial focusing performance of Lamb waves are investigated.

In this study, in-situ dynamic tests of the world's longest steel box tied-arch bridge over the Yangtze River, China, are reported. The double deck bridge supports highway and monorail systems at upper and lower levels, respectively. Strain, displacement, and acceleration responses were measured and used to investigate the vibration characteristics of the bridge when excited by running trains and/or trucks at a speed of 5-60 km/h, train braking, and truck bouncing. Impact factors were correlated with the running speed of trains and trucks. A three-dimensional finite element model of the coupled monorail-train-bridge vibration system accounting for track irregularities was established to understand the system behavior and validated by the experimental results. Truck bouncing was the dominant impact factor on bridge responses. The running speed of vehicles determined the riding comfort of traveling trains.

유럽, 미국을 비롯한 일본 등 선진 업계에서는 오랜 기간의 시험을 거쳐 충격계수의 시험결과를 보유하고 있으며, 장비를 설계할 때 이를 적용하여 구조물의 안정성을 확보하고 있다. 그러나 국내 산업체의 실정으로는 실제 구조물이 받는 여러 가지 동적인 외력에 의한 영향을 시험을 통해 충격계수를 확보하기에는 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되기 때문에 선진업체에서 제공하는 충격계수를 활용하여 장비를 설계하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석 프로그램인 NX/NASTRAN을 이용하여 반도체 검사 장비인 PCB Handler의 정하중해석과 충격하중에 대한 과도응답 해석을 진행하고, 변위 결과를 비교하는 방법으로 충격계수를 산출하였다. 충격계수 산출 방법은 일본 구조 구격에서 사용하고 있는 방법을 적용하였으며, PCB Handler가 검사를 위해 급출발 또는 급정지 시 충격계수는 1.27로 산출되었다. 해석으로 얻어낸 충격계수는 향후 장비의 구조개선과 기존장비를 기반으로 제품 개발 시 사용할 수 있어 업계에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

항공기 사고 시 항공기 구조물의 충돌에너지 흡수 특성은 탑승자 생존성 향상을 위해 매우 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 항공기의 비상착륙 시 충돌에너지는 착륙장치, 동체 하부 구조물(Subfloor), 좌석을 통해 탑승자에게 흡수/전달되며, 이 세 가지 구성품은 항공기 내추락성에 매우 중요한 구성품이다. 이 구성품들 중 동체 하부 구조물의 충돌 에너지 흡수 특성은 항공기 형식, 구조물의 형태 및 적용된 재료에 따라 결정된다. 따라서 항공기 동체 하부 구조물의 내추락 특성에 관한 연구는 항공기 안전성 향상을 위해 매우 중요한 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 내추락 특성이 취약한 80~90 인승급 리저널항공기 Narrow Body 동체의 내추락 유한요소 모델 구성과 외연적 유한요소해석을 통한 내추락 해석이 수행되었다. 동체 구조의 충돌에너지 흡수 및 좌석 장착점의 가속도 응답 등의 해석 결과 분석을 통해, 내추락 특성 및 성능 평가 과정을 수행하였다.

In this paper, A new finite element method for the time domain analysis of the dynamic stress intensity factor of two-dimensional viscoelastic body with a stationary central crack under the transient dynamic load is presented, which is based on the intergrodifferential equations of motion in the isotropic linear viscoelasticity and the Galerkin's method. The vlscoelastic material is assumed to be elastic in dilatation and behaves like a standard linear solid in shear. As a numerical example, the Chen's problem in viscoelastodynamic version is solved for the parametric study about the effect of viscosity and relaxation time on the dynamic stress intensity factor.

This paper relates to the flexural vibration analysis of slender spindle systems with multiple thin disks, supported by the ball bearings by means of the finite element method. Each system component is analytically modeled taking into account its flexibility and also the centrifugal effect especially for the disk. In order to show the rapid convergence rate and accuracy of the proposed approach, an experimental set-up is built to be versatile. In two distinct cases, its natural modes are numerically computed using only a small number of total element meshes as the shaft rotational speed is varied, and verified through experimental frequency response function obtained by the impact test.

Assessment of existing concrete bridges is a challenge for owners. It has greater economic impact when compared to designing new bridges. When using conventional linear analyses, judgment of the engineer is required to understand the behavior of redundant structures after the first element in the structural system reaches its ultimate capacity. The alternative is to use a predictive tool such as advanced nonlinear finite element analyses (ANFEA) to assess the overall structural behavior. This paper proposes a new reliability framework for the assessment of existing bridge structures using ANFEA. A general framework defined in previous works, accounting for material uncertainties and concrete model performance, is adapted to the context of the assessment of existing bridges. A "shifted" reliability problem is defined under the assumption of quasi-deterministic dead load effects. The overall exercise is viewed as a progressive pushover analysis up to structural failure, where the actual safety index is compared at each event to a target reliability index.
