In this study, we investigated the behavior characteristics of the L-type flange bolt connection, which is used to connect upper and lower flanges having L-type ring sections, by bolts. This connection is mainly used in domestic wind turbine structures, wherein it is a vital component as any imperfection could cause the collapse of the entire structural system. Therefore, understanding the behavior characteristics of the L-type flange bolt connection is imperative. In this study, the connection's response to external force was simulated using finite element (FE) analysis and the FE model was idealized to behave as a single L-type bolt flange. The variation in the bolt tension and the L-type flange stress were analyzed to understand the behavior characteristics of the connection. Moreover, the bolt-load function models proposed by Petersen, Schmidt/Neuper and VDI 2230, theoretically expressing a relation between bolt tension and external force, were compared to evaluate the suitability of the FE analysis and analyze the significant behavior characteristics of the connection. Furthermore, the changes in the bolt-load curve due to the variations in the partial dimensions of the L-type flange bolt connection were analyzed.

In this paper, the influence of a crack on the natural frequency of cracked cantilever L-shaped beam with coupled bending and torsional vibrations by analytically and experimentally is analyzed. The L-shaped beam with a crack is modeled by Hamilton's principle with consideration of bending and torsional energy. The two coupled governing differential equations are reduced to one sixth-order ordinary differential equation in terms of the flexural displacement. The crack is assumed to be in the first, second and third mode of fracture and to be always opened during the vibrations. The theoretical results are validated by a comparison with experimental measurements. The maximal difference between the theoretical results and experimental measurements of the natural frequency is less than 7.5% in the second vibration mode.

This paper aims to investigate the natural frequency of a cracked cantilever L-beams with a coupled bending and torsional vibrations. In addition, a theoretical method for detection of the crack position and size in a cantilever L-beams is presented based on natural frequencies. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the equation of motion is derived by using extended Hamilton's Principle. The dynamic transfer matrix method is used for calculation of a exact natural frequencies of L-beams. In order to detect the crack of L-beams, the effect of spring coefficients for bending moment and torsional force is included. In this study, the differences between the actual data and predicted positions and sizes of crack are less than 0.5% and 6.7% respectively.

Two kinds of blank shapes optimum and square are adopted to investigate formability. Optimum blank shape is determined to construct an L-shape cup with uniform height and without flange part. For this purpose rigid-plastic FEM analysis is applied with backward tracing technique. Maximum cup depth and strain distribution are measured experimentally for the products of the two kinds of blank shapes which are optimum and square. it is confirmed that deeper cup without severe thickness reduction can be obtained from the optimum shape.

본 연구에서는 트러스 구조물의 이산최적설계를 위해 유전알고리즘(GA)을 적용하였다. 확률론적인 절차를 통해 설계에 필요한 초기 집단을 생성시킨 후, 설계를 개선시키기 위해서 자연선택 및 적자생존의 원리를 적용하였다. 다하중조건 하에서 트러스 구조물의 중량 최소화를 위해 응력 및 변위 제약을 고려하였다. 먼저, 이미 잘 알려진 트러스 구조물에 대해서 GA를 이용하여 얻은 최적해와 기존 문헌들에서 제시하고 있는 값들을 비교함으로써 GA의 신뢰성 및 적용성을 검증하였고, 이러한 신뢰성 검증을 바탕으로 사용성 있는 트러스 구조물의 이산최적설계를 위해 현재 생산중인 강재제원표로부터 부재가 선택되도록 하였다. 강재의 단면으로는 L형강을 사용하였으며, L형강의 강종은 9개의 강종들 (SS 400, SWS 400, SMA 41, SWS 490Y, SWS 520, SMA 50, SWS 570, SMA 58) 중에서 설계자에 의해 자유롭게 선택되도록 하였다.

In order to investigate anti-freeze process of precast concrete L-type retaining walls in cold regions, test walls were installed in the campus of Kitami Institute of Technology (KIT, Hokkaido, Japan). The wall consists of following three sections, i) back filled with frost susceptible clay soil, ii) using thermal insulation material, and back filled with frost susceptible soil, iii) back filled with frost-unsusceptible soil. The freezing front distribution and ground temperature within the backfill were observed and deflections of the walls were measured over three freeze-thaw seasons. Some understanding of the mechanisms of the build-up of frost heave pressure was gained, and the effectiveness of replacement method was observed. A simulation was performed to predict the shape of the freezing front in the backfill behind L-type walls with various cross sections. These findings were employed to propose a method for determining the appropriate zone to be replaced with frost unsusceptible backfill material in cold regions.

In this paper, a miniaturized band-pass filter structure, which comprises the irises of small resonant aperture and L-type irises inverter, is proposed. Ridged circular aperture iris is chosen as an elementary resonator. L-type iris which is placed between two adjacent elementary resonators is newly proposed as impedance inverter in order to reduce longitudinal length of the proposed filter. The fabricated minimized filter has 400 MHz bandwidth at the 10 GHz center frequency and the whole size is reduced to 70 % in length compared to conventional filter.

Recently, In recognition of outstanding structural performance the use of Concrete Filled steel Tube(CFT) columns has been increased. Research is ongoing that effective use of cross-sectional because steel strength development and rising prices. In this Lab, suggests new shape by Thin steel plates bent to be L-channel welded to form square steel tube to maximize efficiency of the cross section. In addition, since the rib placed at the center of the tube width acts as an anchor; higher load capacity of buckling is acceptable. we have developed New shape welded built-up square tube for broader usability which were bent to be L-shaped and thin Plate each unit member were welded. In order to apply the new shape built-up square columns, we predicted structure behavior, stress distribution with parameter Width thickness ratio. The experimental results presented in standards and even exceed the b/t of the rib anchors installed in the role due to exert enough strength and deformation to improve performance was favorable.

An experimental study was performed on the yLRC composite column. Its external surface was manufactured with y-shape steel sheets and L-shape steel angles, and concrete was poured inside in the field. This composite column has improved the section capacity due to the composite action of steel and concrete, and provides good efficiency in reducing the terms of construction works because of its abridged formworks. The stub column specimens (three small and three large specimens) were tested through concentrical axial loading, and the effect of the width-to-thickness ratio of the steel angle on the column axial strength was examined. The axial strength and behavior of the composite columns were analyzed, and a formula for predicting the axial load capacity was proposed.
