The safety problems of giant hydraulic structures such as dams caused by terrorist attacks, earthquakes, and wars often have an important impact on a country's economy and people's livelihood. For the national defense department, timely and effective assessment of damage to or impending damage to dams and other structures is an important issue related to the safety of people's lives and property. In the field of damage assessment and vulnerability analysis, it is usually necessary to give the damage assessment results within a few minutes to determine the physical damage (crack length, crater size, etc.) and functional damage (decreased power generation capacity, dam stability descent, etc.), so that other defense and security departments can take corresponding measures to control potential other hazards. Although traditional numerical calculation methods can accurately calculate the crack length and crater size under certain combat conditions, it usually takes a long time and is not suitable for rapid damage assessment. In order to solve similar problems, this article combines simulation calculation methods with machine learning technology interdisciplinary. First, the common concrete gravity dam shape was selected as the simulation calculation object, and XFEM (Extended Finite Element Method) was used to simulate and calculate 19 cracks with different initial positions. Then, an LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory) machine learning model was established. 15 crack paths were selected as the training set and others were set for test. At last, the LSTM model was trained by the training set, and the prediction results on the crack path were compared with the test set. The results show that this method can be used to predict the crack propagation path rapidly and accurately. In general, this article explores the application of machine learning related technologies in the field of mechanics. It has broad application prospects in the fields of damage assessment and vulnerability analysis.

텐서(tensor) 이론에 기초한 기존의 구성방정식 모델은 암석(rock)과 같은 준취성 재료에서 나타나는 복잡한 변형열화(strain softening) 과정을 기술하기가 어려우며, 특히 구속압에 따른 변형열화 과정의 변화를 잘 반영하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 화강암의 3차원 거동을 예측 분석할 수 있는 구성방정식을 마이크로플레인 모델을 이용하여 개발하였다. 화강암에 대한 마이크로플레인 모델은 Westerly 화강암과 Bonnet 화강암의 일축압축 및 삼축압축 시험 데이터와 최적을 이루도록 개발되었다. 개발된 마이크로플레인 모델은 화강암의 일축 및 삼축거동을 잘 예측하였다. 그리고 개발된 화강암의 마이크로플레인 모델을 유한요소법에 적용하여 암석지반 굴착시의 발파 모사를 통해 화강암의 비선형 거동 및 발파시의 파쇄 영역을 해석하였다. 또한 마이크로플레인 모델을 이용한 비선형 해석결과와 탄성해석 결과를 비교 분석한 결과 화강암의 거동은 비선형에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The use of Zn-Al-Mg alloy coatings for enhancing the corrosion resistance of steel sheets is gaining prominence over traditional Zn coatings. There is a growing demand for the development of thermal spray wires made from Zn-Al-Mg alloys, as a replacement for the existing wires produced using Al and Zn. This is particularly crucial to secure corrosion resistance and durability in the damaged areas of coated steel sheets caused by deformation and welding. This study focuses on the casting and extrusion processes of Zn-2Al-1Mg alloy for the fabrication of such spray wires and analyzes the changes in microstructure during the extrusion process. The Zn-2Al-1Mg alloy, cast in molds, was subjected to a heat treatment at 250 ℃ for 3 hours prior to extrusion. The extrusion process was carried out by heating both the material and the mold up to 300 ℃. Microstructural analysis was conducted using FE-SEM and EDS to differentiate each phase. The mechanical properties of the cast specimen were evaluated through compression tests at temperatures ranging from 200 to 300 ℃, with strain rates of 0.1 to 5 sec^-1. Vickers hardness testing was utilized to assess the inhomogeneity of mechanical properties in the radial direction of the extruded material. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to understand the inhomogeneity in stress and strain distribution during extrusion, which aids in understanding the impact of heterogeneous deformation on the microstructure during the process.

There is a burgeoning demand for minimizing the mass of satellites because of its direct impact on reducing launch-to-orbit cost. This must be done without compromising the structure's efficiency. The present paper introduces a relatively low-cost and easily implementable approach for optimizing structural mass to a maximum natural frequency. The natural frequencies of the satellite are of utmost pertinence to the application requirements, as the sensitive electronic instrumentation and onboard computers should not be affected by the vibrations of the satellite structure. This methodology is applied to a realistic model of Al-Azhar University micro-satellite in partnership with the Egyptian Space Agency. The procedure used in structural design can be summarized in two steps. The first step is to select the most favorable primary structural configuration among several different candidate variants. The nominated variant is selected as the one scoring maximum relative dynamic stiffness. The second step is to use perforation patterns reduce the overall mass of structural elements in the selected variant without changing the weight. The results of the presented procedure demonstrate that the mass reduction percentage was found to be 39% when compared to the unperforated configuration that had the same plate thickness. The findings of this study challenge the commonly accepted notion that isogrid perforations are the most effective means of achieving the goal of reducing mass while maintaining stiffness. Rather, the study highlights the potential benefits of exploring a wider range of perforation unit cells during the design process. The study revealed that rectangular perforation patterns had the lowest efficiency in terms of modal stiffness, while triangular patterns resulted in the highest efficiency. These results suggest that there may be significant gains to be made by considering a broader range of perforation shapes and configurations in the design of lightweight structures.

The electrostatic chuck is a technology that uses electroadhesion to attach objects and is widely used in semiconductor and display processes. This research conducted Maxwell by varying parameters to examine the distribution and variations of chucking force in a bipolar-type ESC. The parameters that were changed include the material properties of the dielectric layer and attachment substrate, applied voltage to the electrode, and the gap and width between the electrodes. The analysis results showed that as the relative permittivity of the dielectric layer and substrate increased, the chucking force also increased, with the relative permittivity of the substrate having a greater impact on the chucking force. And increasing the applied voltage led to an increase in both the chucking force and its rate of change. Lastly, as the gap between the electrodes increased, the chucking force rapidly decreased until a certain distance, after which the decrease became less significant. On the contrary, increasing the electrode width resulted in a rapid increase in the chucking force until a certain width, beyond which the increase became less pronounced, eventually converging to a chucking force of 1700 Pa. This paper is expected to have high potential for the development and research of ESC for OLED deposition.

This study presents code-compliant seismic details by addressing dry mechanical splices for precast concrete (PC) beam-column connections in the ACI 318-19 code. To this end, critical observations of previous test results on precast beam-column connection specimens with the proposed seismic detail are briefly reported in this study, along with a typical reinforced concrete (RC) monolithic connection. On this basis, nonlinear dynamic models were developed to verify seismic responses of the PC emulative moment-resisting frame systems. As the current design code allows only the emulative design approach, this study aims at identifying the seismic performances of PC moment frame systems depending on their emulative levels, for which two extreme cases were intentionally chosen as the non-emulative (unbonded self-centering with marginal energy dissipation) and fully-emulative connection details. Their corresponding hysteresis models were set by using commercial finite element analysis software. According to the current seismic design provisions, a typical five-story building was designed as a target PC building. Subsequently, nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were performed with seven ground motions to investigate the impact of emulation level or hysteresis models (i.e., energy dissipation performance) on system responses between the emulative and non-emulative PC moment frames. The analytical results showed that both the base shear and story drift ratio were substantially reduced in the emulative system compared to that of the non-emulative one, and it indicates the importance of the code-compliant (i.e., emulative) connection details on the seismic performance of the precast building.

사회적 생활 환경이 향상되고 도시개발이 안정화됨에 따라 신규 주택건설공사에 대한 요구는 점진적으로 감소하고 있다. 이에, 신축 보다는 정비를 통해 구조물의 사용수명을 연장시키는 리모델링의 중요성이 강조되고 있으며, 이와 관련된 많은 연구들이 진행중에 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우 리모델링 해체공사를 위한 구조해석 관련 기준이 미흡한 실정이다. 국내 보고된 리모델링 해체 공사도중에 발생한 사고중 슬래브 붕괴사고는 다수를 차지하고 있으며, 대형사고로 발전할 수 있는 위험성을 내포하고 있어 리모델링 해체공사에 적용할 수 있는 구조해석 관련 기준의 개발은 중요하면서도 시급하다. 슬래브의 경우 하중을 직접적으로 저항하기 때문에 균열에 취약해 질수 있고 균열이 발생할 경우 리모델링의 근본취지에 어긋남과 동시에 붕괴사고의 원인이 될 수 있으므로, 초기균열을 억제함은 상당히 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 슬래브 구조물의 초기균열을 억제하기 위한 기준을 마련하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 수행되었다. 슬래브 구조물의 구조적 거동과 관련된 주요 요소로는 구조물의 형상과 구조물에 작용하는 하중이 있다. 슬래브 구조물의 형상과 작용하중과의 상호관계를 파악하기 위해 국내 아파트 평면도를 분석하였으며, 해체잔해물의 단위중량, 콘크리트 강도 등과 관련된 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과를 활용하여 유한요소해석을 실시하였으며, 유한요소해석결과 주요 하중요소인 해체잔해물의 적재제한높이 및 적재방법에 대해 검토할 수 있었다. 또한, 소형해체장비의 이동에 따른 슬래브의 구조적 거동을 파악하기 위해 동적, 정적 재하실험을 실시하였으며, 실험결과 이동하중에 따른 충격의 영향을 반영할 수 있는 충격계수를 결정할 수 있었다.

Laser beam welding process is a relatively new process in comparison with arc welding process, but it is expected to apply widely because of the many advantages, and research and development of that process is being progressed actively for the practical use. the application of this welding process has been restricted due to the high initial investment and the need of precise processing against the material, but cost reduction and thick plate welding in high speed have become practial by recent technological development, and this welding process to not only small parts in automobile, machinery and physicochemical field, but also a large structure and pipe line are being applied. In order to utilize this welding process appropriately to a steel structure, the properties of welding residual stresses and fracture toughness in welded joints are to be investigated for relibilty. On this study, after performing the finite element analysis, thermal and residual stress properties have been examined to the general structural steel (HT50) by laser beam welding. Besides, the property of fracture toughness has been investigated by the Charpy impact test and 3-points bending CTOD test carried out in the range of temperature between $-60^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. From the research results it is revealed that the maximum residual stress appears in the center of plate thickness and the fracture toughness is influenced by strength mis-match.

섬유-금속 적층 복합재료(FMLC)는 섬유와 금속 박판으로 구성된 새로운 형태의 구조재로 가볍고 우수한 피로 특성을 가지며 금속과 같이 가소성과 충격저항성이 우수하고, 가공성이 뛰어나다. 본 연구에서는 여러 하중 조건하에 있는 섬유-금속 적층 복합재료를 유전자 알고리듬을 이용하여 최적 설계하였다. 전단변형이론에 근거한 유한요소법을 사용하여 적층판을 해석하였으며, 설계변수로 금속판의 강도와 섬유 층의 수에 따른 적층각도를 두었다. 섬유층과 금속판의 적합도 함수로는 각각 Tasi-Hill failure criterion과 Miser yield criterion을 사용하였다. 유전자 알고리듬의 연산자로는 토너먼트 선택과 균일 교배를 사용하였다. 효율적인 진화를 위해 엘리티스트 모델을 사용하며, 높은 정확도를 가진 해를 얻기 위해 크리프 무작위 탐색(creeping random search) 방법을 통해 더 우수한 자손을 얻었다. 여러 가지 하중 조건에 대하여 최적설계 결과를 나타내었으며, 파괴 지수 측면에서 탄소섬유강화복합재료(CFRP)와 비교하였다. 해석 결과 섬유-금속 적층 복합재료는 탄소섬유강화복합재료에 비하여 집중하중이나 분포하중 형태에 대하여 우수한 특성을 보였으며, 파괴 지수의 편차가 적어 예기치 않은 하중에 잘 견딜 것으로 사료된다.

Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are well known for improved fatigue strength, better impact resistance, superior damage tolerance and slow crack growth rate compared to traditional metallic materials. However, defects and loss of strength of a composite material can occur due to the vertical load from the punch during the joining with a dissimilar material using a conventional clinching method. In the current study, tapered-hole clinching was an alternative process used to join Al 5052 and FMLs. The tapered hole was formed in the FML before the joining. For the better understanding of static and dynamic characteristics, a clinched joining followed by a tensile-shear test was numerically simulated using the finite element analysis. The design parameters were also evaluated for the geometry of the tapered hole by the Taguchi method in order to improve and compare the lateral joining strength of the clinched joint. The influence of the neck thickness and the undercut were evaluated and the contribution of each design parameter was determined. Then, actual experiments for the joining and tensile-shear test were conducted to verify the results of the numerical simulations. In conclusion, the appropriate combination of the design parameters can improve the joining strength and the cross-sections of the tapered-hole clinched joint formed in the actual experiments were in good agreement with the results of the numerical simulations.
