Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an anisotropic material due to the random orientation of the fibres within the cement matrix. Fibres under different inclination angles provide different strength contribution of a given crack width. For that the pull-out response of inclined fibres is of great importance to understand SFRC behaviour, particularly in the case of fibres with hooked ends, which are the most widely used. The paper focuses on the numerical modelling of the pull-out response of this kind of fibres from high-strength cementitious matrix in order to study the effects of different inclination angles of the fibres to the load-displacement pull-out curves. The pull-out of the fibres is studied by means of accurate three-dimensional finite element models, which take into account the nonlinearities that are present in the physical model, such as the nonlinear bonding between the fibre and the matrix in the early stages of the loading, the unilateral contact between the fibre and the matrix, the friction at the contact areas, the plastification of the steel fibre and the plastification and cracking of the cementitious matrix. The bonding properties of the fibre-matrix interface considered in the numerical model are based on experimental results of pull-out tests on straight fibres.

To optimize the cold start process of a 4-stroke, 8 cylinder Diesel engine, a dynamic simulation model from cranking to idle speed is developed. Physically-based first order starter motor dynamics are used to model the performance of starting process which is very complex. These equations are solved using numerical schemes(Petzold-Gear BDF method) to describe the starting process of diesel engine and to study the effects of starting parameters. The validity of this model is examined by start test. This model can be served as a tool for computer aided control systems design to improve cold improve cold start performance.

This paper reviews the concepts of the snake motion which can be often observed on the bodies moving along guide rails. A simple modelling is proposed in order to analyze the snake motion of the cross head assembly and force and moment equilibrium equations are established. It is determined the critical conditions at which snake motion just brings about. Some possible methods to reduce or prevent snake motion are discussed in detail.

Previous studies have shown that pile-soil interactions have significant influences on the isolation efficiency of an isolated structure. However, most of the existing tests were carried out using a 1-g shaking table, which cannot reproduce the soil stresses resulting in distortion of the simulated pile-soil interactions. In this study, a centrifuge shaking table modelling of the seismic responses of a friction pendulum bearing isolated structure with a pile foundation under earthquakes were conducted. The pile foundation structure was designed and constructed with a scale factor of 1:100. Two layers of the foundation soil, i.e., the bottom layer was made of plaster and the upper layer was normal soil, were carefully prepared to meet the similitude requirement. Seismic responses, including strains, displacement, acceleration, and soil pressure were collected. The settlement of the soil, sliding of the isolator, dynamic amplification factor and bending moment of the piles were analysed to reveal the influence of the soil structure interaction on the seismic performance of the structure. It is found that the soil rotates significantly under earthquake motions and the peak rotation is about 0.021 degree under 24.0 g motions. The isolator cannot return to the initial position after the tests because of the unrecoverable deformation of the soil and the friction between the curved surface of the slider and the concave plate.

수직 시추와 다르게 방향성 시추작업에서 발생하는 드릴스트링(drill string) 변형, 케이싱(casing) 마모, 키 씨팅(key seating) 등의 문제를 방지하기 위해서는 시추 궤도 내에서 발생하는 토크(torque)와 드래그(drag)가 최소화되어야 한다. 토크와 드래그의 크기는 시추 궤도 형태, 이수(mud), 드릴스트링의 종류 그리고 킥오프 지점(KOP, kick-off point)과 같은 매개변수들에 의해 결정되기 때문에 시추 궤도 설계 과정에서 고려하여 설계하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가장 일반적인 방향성 시추 궤도인 빌드-홀드(Build-hold) 형태의 시추 궤도에 킥오프 지점이 각기 다른 시추 궤도를 선정하였고, 분포하중 모델(analytical friction model)을 이용하여 각 구간내에서의 분포하중을 계산하여 궤도 전체에 대한 토크와 드래그를 계산하였다. 또한 매개변수에 따른 분석 값을 비교하여 분포하중이 최소로 발생하는 최적의 시추 궤도를 선정하였다. 분석결과 분포 하중을 최소화하기 위해서는 윤활성이 높은 이수를 사용, 궤도 형태에 따른 알맞은 킥오프 지점과 가능한 최소의 도그-래그를 지정하여 설계하는 것이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 분포하중을 최소화하기 위한 모든 방향성 시추 궤도 설계에 사용된다.

This paper presents a study on the behaviour of the joints of segmental concrete bridges with external prestressing, focusing on the structural response of dry non-epoxied joints with shear keys. A Finite Element joint model to study such structures is validated modelling eight concrete panel tests. The most important feature of this model is that it has been validated with experimental tests on concrete panels which were specifically designed to fail in shear. Interface elements are used to reproduce the non linear behaviour of the joint and parameters deduced from the tests are used to define the constitutive law of these elements. This joint model is of great importance because it will permit the development of a structural model that faithfully reproduces the behaviour of these structures under combined flexure and shear and the study of its global behaviour after the opening of the joints. Interesting conclusions about the behaviour of the dry joints, about the contribution of the different mechanisms transferring shear (friction and cohesion) and about the shear stress distribution in the joint have been reached.

A theoretical energy-based model to capture the mechanical response of thick woven composite laminates, which are used in such applications as maritime or aerospace, to high-velocity impact was developed. The dependences of the impact phenomenon on material and geometrical parameters were analysed making use of the Vaschy-Buckingham Theorem to provide a non-dimensional framework. The model was divided in three different stages splitting the physical interpretation of the perforation process: a first where different dissipative mechanisms such as compression or shear plugging were considered, a second where a transference of linear momentum was assumed and a third where only friction took place. The model was validated against experimental data along with a 3D finite element model. The numerical simulations were used to validate some of the new hypotheses assumed in the theoretical model to provide a more accurate explanation of the phenomena taking place during a high-velocity impact.

모래지반의 지표면에 위치한 거친 바닥면을 가진 강체 원형기초에 대하여 삼차원 수치해석을 통하여 수직-수평 조합하중 조건에서의 지지력을 구하였다. 조합하중 상관도를 효율적으로 산출할 수 있는 swipe 재하방법과 실제 구조물의 하중 조건과 유사한 probe 재하방법을 모사할 수 있는 수치모델을 구현하였으며 요소망의 조밀도에 의한 오차를 소거할 수 있는 분석 절차를 개발하였다. Mohr-Coulomb 소성모델을 사용하고 관련흐름법칙을 적용하여 지반의 내부 마찰각에 따른 수직-수평 조합하중에 대한 지지력 상관도와 경사계수를 산출하였다. Swipe 재하방법의 결과는 probe 재하방법을 사용한 결과와 유사함을 확인하였으며, 거친 바닥면 조건에서 수직-수평 조합하중 지지력 상관도의 내부 마찰각에 따른 변화는 미미하고, 원형기초에 대해서 연속기초 및 사각형기초와 동일한 경사계수를 적용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하중의 경사가 큰 경우에는 수치모델링을 통해 산출된 원형기초에 대한 지지력 상관도와 경사계수는 기존의 연구 결과보다 작게 평가되었으며, 수치모델링 결과에 영향을 미치는 요인과 향후 연구 방향에 대하여 고찰하였다.

서남해안 지역의 중간조밀한 실트질모래 지반에서 버켓기초 스커트벽체의 압입저항력을 원심모형실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 압입저항력은 석션을 작용하지 않고 버켓기초를 지반에 관입시킬 때 발생하는 저항력으로서 자중관입 깊이와 직접적으로 관계된다. 스커트벽체의 주면저항력에 의한 지반의 응력증가 효과를 고려하는 방법(Houlsby and Byrne, 2005) 을 기반으로 실험 결과와 유사한 압입저항력을 산정할 수 있었다. 압입저항력 산정에 이용되는 수평토압계수, 스커트 벽체와 지반간의 경계면 마찰각 등의 주요 물성값의 산정 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 또한, 응력증가 효과의 고려 여부와 물성값의 변화가 압입저항력 산정 결과에 미치는 영향과 실험을 통해 계측된 압입시 지반거동에 대하여 분석하였다.

Proper modelling of the basal resistance terms is key in simulating the motion of fluidized granular flow. In this paper, standard depth-averaged governing equations of granular flow are used together with the classical Coulomb, Voellmy, and velocity dependent friction models (VDFM). A high-resolution modified TVDLF method is implemented to solve the partial differential equations without numerical oscillations. The effects of basal resistance terms on the motion of granular flows such as geometric shape evolution, travel times and final deposits are analyzed. Based on the numerical results, the predictions of the front and rear end positions and developing length of granular flow with Coulomb friction model show excellent agreements with experiment results reported by Hutter et al. (1995), and illustrate the validity of the numerical approach. For the Voellmy model, the higher value of turbulent coefficient than reality may obtain more reasonable predicted runout for the small-scale avalanche or granular flow. The energy exchange laws indicate that VDFM is different from the Coulomb and Voellmy models, although the flow characteristics of both three models fit the measurements and observations very well.
