The article describes the development of a novel dissipative bracing connection device (identified by the acronym DRBrC) for concentrically braced frames in steel and composite structures. The origins of the device trace back to the seminal work of Kelly, Skinner and Heine (1972), and, more directly related, to the PIN-INERD device, overcoming some of its limitations and greatly improving the replaceability characteristics. The connection device is composed of a rigid housing, connected to both the brace and the beam-column connection (or just the column), in which the axial force transfer is achieved by four-point bending of a dissipative pin. The experimental validation stages, presented in detail, consisted of a preliminary testing campaign, resulting in successive improvements of the original device design, followed by a systematic parametric testing campaign. That final campaign was devised to study the influence of the constituent materials (S235 and Stainless Steel, for the pin, and S355 and High Strength Steel, for the housing), of the geometry (four-point bending intermediate spans) and of the loading history (constant amplitude or increasing cyclic alternate). The main conclusions point to the most promising DRBrC device configurations, also presenting some suggestions in terms of the replaceability requirements.

A detailed experimental program was conducted to investigate the flexural behavior of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) beams reinforced with high strength steel (HSS) rebars with a specified yield strength of 600 MPa via direct tensile test and monotonic four-point bending test. First, two sets of direct tensile test specimens, with the same reinforcement ratio but different yield strength of reinforcement, were fabricated and tested. Subsequently, six simply supported beams, including two plain UHPC beams and four reinforced UHPC beams, were prepared and tested under four-point bending load. The results showed that the balanced-reinforced UHPC beams reinforced with HSS rebars could improve the ultimate load-bearing capacity, deformation capacity, ductility properties, etc. more effectively owing to interaction between high strength of HSS rebar and strain-hardening characteristic of UHPC. In addition, the UHPC with steel rebars kept strain compatibility prior to the yielding of the steel rebar, further satisfied the plane-section assumption. Most importantly, the crack pattern of the UHPC beam reinforced with HSS rebars was prone to transform from single main crack failure corresponding to the normal-strength steel, to multiple main cracks failure under the condition of balanced-reinforced failure, which validated by the conclusion of direct tensile tests cooperated with acoustic emission (AE) source locating technique as well.

The manufacturing of a metal bellows consists of the four main forming processes; deep-drawing, ironing, tube bulging and folding. Among these, the bulging and folding processes are critically important because the quality of metal bellows is greatly influenced by the forming conditions of these processes. In the present study, the finite element analysis technique is applied to the bulging and folding processes. The springback analysis is also called out. From the analysis results, it has been revealed that around the crown point the stress state is in one-directional tension and one-directional bending mode. Meanwhile, around the inner point of metal bellows it is in two-directional bending mode. It has also revealed that the thickness of metal bellows around the crown point is nearly uniform.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the decreasing problems of residual bending strength, and the fracture machanism experimentally when CFRP composite laminates are subjected to Foreign Object Damage. Composite laminates used for this experiment are CFRP orthotropy laminated plates, which have two-interfaces [O/sub 6//sup o//90/sub 6//sup o/]sub sym/ and four-interfaces [O/sub 3//sup o//90/sub 6//sup o//O/sub 3//sup o]/sub sym/. When the specimen is subjected to transverse impact by a steel ball, the delamination area generated by impact damage is observed by using SAM(Scanning Acoustic Microscope). also, Thefracture surfaces obtained by three-point bending test were observed by using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Then, fracture mechanism was investigated based on the observed delamination area and fracture surface. The results were summarized as follows; (1) It is found that for the specimen with more interface, the critical delamination energy is increased while delamination-development energy is decreased. (2) Residual bending strength of specimen A is greater than that of Specimen B within the impact range of impact energy 1. 65J (impacted-side compression) and 1. 45J (impacted-side tension). On the other hand, when the impact energy is beyond the above ranges, residual bending strength of specimen A is smaller than that of specimen B. (3) In specimen A and B, residual strength of CFRP plates subjected to impact damage is lower in the impacted-side compression than in the impacted-side tension. (4) In the case of impacted-side compression, fracture is propagated from the transverse crack generat-ed near impact point. On the other hand, fracture is developed toward the impact point from the edge of interface-B delamination in the case of impacted-side tension.

본 연구에서는 현장에서 사용되는 온실 강관의 이음 방법에 대해 휨성능을 평가하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 가장 휨성능이 우수한 이음 방법을 알아보았다. 실험 결과, 모든 실험체는 이음이 없는 실험체 보다 휨성능이 작았다. 그러나 모든 실험체의 최대 휨모멘트는 이음이 없는 실험체 소성모멘트의 1.07~1.3정도로 나타났다. 또한 연결방법에 따른 결과는 연결핀 보다 인발 실험체가 상대적으로 큰 휨성능을 보였다. 현장 이음 방법의 파괴 모드는 연결핀과 강관 끝부분의 응력집중에 의한 국부좌굴이 지배적이었다. 현장시공 시 강관을 절단 후 연결할 경우, 이음 없이 사용하는 것이 가장 우수한 휨성능을 발휘하지만 부득이 강관을 절단할 경우는 연결핀보다는 인발 강관에 직결나사로 고정한 이음 방법(SPJ-F)으로 시공하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

A four-point bending RC beam strengthened with FRP plate is investigated based on the theory of elasticity. Taking the adhesive layer into account but ignoring some secondary parameters, the analytical solutions of the normal stress and shear stress on concrete-adhesive interface are obtained and discussed. Besides, the pure bending region of the beam is analyzed and the ultimate load of the beam is predicted. The results obtained in the present paper agree very well with both the results of FEM and the experimental findings.

Fracture behaviors of pipes with local wall thinning are very important for the integrity of nuclear Power Plant. In Pipes of energy Plants, sometimes, the local wall thinning may result from severe erosion-corrosion (E/C) damage. However, the effects of local wall thinning on strength and fracture behaviors of piping system were not well studied. In this paper, the monotonic bending tests were performed of full-scale carbon steel pipes with local wall thinning. A monotonic bending load was applied to straight pipe specimens by four-point loading at ambient temperature without internal pressure. From the tests, fracture behaviors and fracture strength of locally thinned pipe were manifested systematically. The observed failure modes were divided into four types; ovalization. crack initiation/growth after ovalization, local buckling and crack initiation/growth after local buckling. Also, the strength and the allowable limit of piping system with local wall thinning were evaluated.

본 연구에서는 Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) 젯 프린팅 시스템을 이용하여 graphene이 올려져 있는 유연성 있는 PET 기판 위에 Ag 용액을 그리드로 간격에 따라 타진하였다. Ag 그리드 간격을 200 um, 300 um, 400 um, 500 um로 증가시켰으며, 이때 UV/Vis spectrometry, four-point probe를 이용하여 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. Graphene/Ag-grid 하이브리드 투명전극은 그리드 간격 400 um에서 21Ohm/sq.의 면저항과 550 nm에서 84.08%의 투과도를 확인하였다. 또한, graphene/Ag-grid 하이브리드 투명전극의 기계적 응력에 따른 전기적 안정성을 알아보기 위해 radius에 따른 bending, fatigue test와 twist bending, rolling test를 진행하였다. Fatigue bending은 speed 30 mm/s, outer bending radius 20 mm, inner bending radius 22.5 mm로 bending test를 5000번 진행하였으며, twist bending, rolling test를 각각 10000번 진행하였다. 이 결과를 통해 bending-release cycle 조건에서도 초기저항 대비 5% 이내의 매우 우수한 전기적 안정성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 이러한 graphene/Ag-grid 하이브리드 투명전극의 우수한 특성을 얻음으로써, graphene 박막의 플렉시블 투명전극으로서의 적용가능성을 타진할 수 있었다.

전자기기의 고집적화를 위해 실리콘 웨이퍼의 두께가 점점 얇아지고 있으며 이로 인해 제조공정 중 균열이나 파손이 발생할 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 300 ${\mu}m$~100 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 반도체용 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼의 파단 강도 및 파괴특성을 평가하였다. 기계적 연마를 통해 두께 (300, 200, 180, 160, 150, 100 ${\mu}m$)가 다른 실리콘 웨이퍼를 준비하였다. 하나의 웨이퍼에서 40개의 실리콘 다이(크기 : 62.5 mm${\times}$4 mm)를 얻어 4점 굽힘시험을 통해 평균 강도값을 구하였다. 강도분포의 통계적 해석을 위해 와이블 선도를 이용하여 형상인자(와이블 계수)와 크기인자(확률적 파괴강도)를 얻었다. 취성 실리콘 다이의 시편 크기(두께)효과와 파단 확률이 고려된 통계적 파단강도 값을 실리콘 다이 두께의 함수로 얻었다. 관찰된 파괴양상을 측정된 파단강도와 관련하여 고찰하였다.

원형 복합재 튜브를 고고도 장기체공 무인기의 주요 스파에 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 수정된 Brazier 방법을 이용하여 비대칭으로 보강된 원형 스파의 파단하중을 예측할 수 있는 이론적인 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델을 이용하여 비대칭으로 보강된 원형스파의 최대 허용 굽힘 모멘트를 예측하였다. 해석 결과로부터 원형 스파의 상단에 위치한 보강된 캡은 최대 허용 굽힘 모멘트를 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있다. 4점 굽힘 실험을 수행하여 스파 캡이 파손하중에 미치는 영향을 평가하였고 제안된 모델과 비교하였다. 그리고 수치해석을 수행하여 보강된 원형 스파의 거동을 분석하였다. 제안된 이론적인 모델은 실험 및 수치해석 결과와 잘 일치함을 보였다.
