In this paper a practical limit load estimating procedure is proposed for general pipe-elbow structures subjected to complex loading (in-plane and out-of-plane bending, internal pressure and axial force). The explicit calculating formulae are presented on the basis of theoretical analysis combined with numerical simulation. Von Mises' yield criterion is adopted in both analytical and numerical calculation. The finite element examination shows that the method provides a simple but satisfactory prediction of pipe structures in engineering plastic analysis.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate the exercise limit that may occur depending on changes in postural alignment by examining the significance of postural alignment changes, foot pressure, and balance of patients with stroke. Methods: In this study, 50 patients diagnosed with a stroke were selected as subjects. Imbalance of postural alignment of the trunk, pelvic tilt of trunk rotation of the body, angle of kyphotic curving of the thoracic, and angle of lordotic curving of the lumbar vertebra were measured. Foot pressure was examined by measuring average pressure and weight bearing. Balance was examined by measuring the center of pressure and limit of stability. Results: The significance of postural alignment, foot pressure, and weight bearing of the non-paretic side was examined. In addition, the significance between postural alignment and balance was examined. Conclusion: It is thought that limits of foot pressure and balance in the standing position can be caused by postural alignment. Thus, both a therapeutic intervention program and postural alignment training should be provided together in order to improve the function of patients with stroke.

캔틸레버 옹벽의 안정성 평가에서 중요한 변수는 옹벽에 작용하는 주동토압과 옹벽과 함께 움직이는 뒷굽 상부의 뒤채움토사의 무게이다. 캔틸레버 옹벽의 뒷굽 길이가 충분히 길면, 뒷굽 끝단에서의 연직면에 Rankine 토압이 작용한다고 가정하여 옹벽의 안정성을 평가해도 이론적으로 문제가 되지 않는다. 그러나 뒷굽이 짧은 캔틸레버 옹벽에 대하여 이와 같은 방법을 적용하는 것은 이론적으로 옳지 않으며, 주동토압을 실제보다 크게 산정하므로써 비경제적인 설계를 초래한다. 본 연구에서는 한계해석방법을 사용하여 캔틸레버 옹벽에 토압이 작용하는 메카니즘을 조사하고 이를 토대로 주동토압의 크기 및 합력의 위치, 뒤채움토사의 무게를 산정하였으며, 산정결과를 기존의 방법과 비교하였다. 뒷굽길이가 짧을 경우, 옹벽에 대한 안정성은 한계해석방법에 비해 기존의 Mohr원 방법은 최대 3.7%, Teng 방법은 최대 32% 크게 산정되었다.

A tube hydroformability testing system was designed and fabricated enabling to apply the forming condition along arbitrarily pre-programmed internal pressure-axial feed path. The free-bulging and T-forming tests were carried out on the extruded aluminum (A6063) tube specimens with 40.6 mm outer diameter and 2.25 mm thickness. Nine different combinations of internal pressure and axial feed, yielding different strain paths from one another, were taken into consideration in order to induce bursting at various deformation modes. Major and minor strains were automatically measured from deformed grids around the fracture using a stereo-vision-based surface strain measurement system, named ASIAS. The forming limit diagram of the A6063 tube material was successfully obtained. Most of the data points acquired from free bulging and T-forming tests appeared in the range of negative minor strain on the FLD and are mostly located near the strain paths calculated from explicit finite element simulations. The forming limit obtained from tests after pre-tension was considerably lower than that from tests without pre-tension, which showed the strain path-dependency of the forming limit as well known in the sheet forming fold.

Operating experience of steam generators shows that the tubes are degraded by stress corrosion cracking, fretting wear and so on. These defected tubes could stay in service if it is proved that the tubes have sufficient structural margin to preclude the risk of tube bursting. This paper provides detailed plastic limit pressure solutions for through-wall cracks in the steam generator tubes. These are developed based on three dimensional(3D) finite element analyses assuming elastic-perfectly plastic material behavior. Both axial and circumferential through-wall cracks in free span and in u-bend regions are considered. The resulting limit pressure solutions are given in a polynomial form, and thus can be simply used in practical integrity assessment of the steam generator tubes.

The proposed method for an effective assay of Cd, Cr and Pb in several polymer samples has been validated. The determination was carried out using ICP-OES after a high pressure asher (HPA) digestion at pressure and temperatures up to 13 MPa and $320^{\circ}C$, respectively. Polymer based materials were totally oxidized with nitric acid in a HPA chamber and determined by ICP-OES. Validation parameters such as linearity, matrix effect, limit of dectection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), accuracy and precision (repeatibility, intermediate precision and reproducibility) were assessed. The LOD and LOQ in the sample were ranged from 0.98 to 1.18 mg $kg^{-1}$ and 2.93 to 3.55 mg $kg^{-1}$, respectively, relying on the analyte. The proposed method had a good accuracy and precision for repeatability, intermediate precision with respect to days and analysts and reproducibility expressed as inter-laboratory study. The developed method was simple to use, suitable and applicable to various kinds of polymers.

수평방향의 토압에 저항하는 흙막이 구조물(옹벽, 가시설 등) 설계에서 수동토압(Passive earth pressure) 산정은 중요한 요소이다. 토압이론에서 주동토압과 수동토압은 벽체 변위가 충분히 발생하여 한계변위에 도달한 한계상태에서의 토압이다. 흙막이 구조물설계에서 수동토압은 저항력으로 고려되는데, 이때, 수동토압이 발생하는 한계변위는 주동토압이 발생하는 한계변위의 10배 이상으로 이 변위를 수동토압산정에 적용하는 것은 비합리적이다. 그러므로 한계변위의 수동토압(Passive earth pressure)이 아닌 임의 크기의 수평변위에서 발생되는 임의 수동토압을 발현수동측토압(Mobilized passive earth pressure)으로 정의하고 흙막이 구조물의 안정성 검토에 발현수동측토압을 적용하는 것이 현실적으로 필요하다고 판단하였다. 본 연구에서는 모래지반에 대하여 문헌조사를 통해 흙막이 구조물의 안정성 확보가 가능한 허용수평변위를 0.002H(H:굴착깊이)로 제안하였으며, 임의수평변위에서 발생되는 발현수동측토압을 산정할 수 있는 반경험식을 사용하였다. 그리고 사질토 지반에서 구해진 발현수동측토압 자료를 바탕으로 실무에서 간단하게 적용할 수 있도록 벽체의 거동양상에 따른 Rankine의 수동토압에 적용 가능한 감소계수를 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 균질 단순사면의 안정검토 시 간편하게 이용할 수 있는 사면안정도표를 제안하였다. 기존의 사면안정도표는 대부분 한계평형해석에 근거하고 있으나 잘 알려진 바와 같이 한계평형해석은 역학적으로 엄밀한 해석기법이 아니다. 반면 가상일방정식과 소성이론의 경계정리를 이용한 한계해석은 계산이 간단하면서도 역학적 엄밀성이 보장되어 사면과 같은 지반구조물의 안정해석에 적합한 해석기 법이다. 특히 유한요소와 최적화기법을 적용한 수치한계해석은 다양한 사면조건을 반영할 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라 안정해의 최적값을 효율적으로 산정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 유효응력 개념의 수치한계해석기법을 개발하고 다양한 사면조건에 대한 해석을 수행하여 역학적으로 엄밀한 사면안정도표를 제안하였다. 유효응력해석을 위한 간극수압의 영향은 기존의 사면안정도표와 같이 간극 수압비를 적용하여 고려하였다. 제안된 안정도표와 Spencer 안정도표를 비교한 결과 Spence. 안정도표를 적용하여 사면설계를 수행할 경우 안전측 설계가 됨을 알 수 있었다.

This paper aims at investigating the face stability of large-diameter underwater shield tunnels considering seepage in soft-hard uneven strata. Using the kinematic approach of limit upper-bound analysis, the analytical solution of limit supporting pressure on the tunnel face considering seepage was obtained based on a logarithmic spiral collapsed body in uneven strata. The stability analysis method of the excavation face with different soft- and hard-stratum ratios was explored and validated. Moreover, the effects of water level and burial depth on tunnel face stability were discussed. The results show the effect of seepage on the excavation face stability can be accounted as the seepage force on the excavation face and the seepage force of pore water in instability body. When the thickness ratio of hard soil layer within the excavation face exceeds 1/6D, the interface of the soft and hard soil layer can be placed at tunnel axis during stability analysis. The reliability of the analytical solution of the limit supporting pressure is validated by numerical method and literature methods. The increase of water level causes the instability of upper soft soil layer firstly due to the higher seepage force. With the rise of burial depth, the horizontal displacement of the upper soft soil decreases and the limit supporting pressure changes little because of soil arching effect.

Calculating the seismic displacement of retaining walls has an important role in the optimum design of these structures. Also, studying the effect of surcharge is important for the calculation of active pressure as well as permanent displacements of the wall. In this regard, some researchers have investigated active pressure; but, unfortunately, there are few investigations on the seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. In this research, using limit analysis and upper bound theorem, permanent seismic displacement of retaining walls with surcharge was analyzed for sliding and overturning failure mechanisms. Thus, a new formulation was presented for calculating yield acceleration, critical angle of failure wedge, and permanent displacement of retaining walls with surcharge. Also, effects of surcharge, its location and other factors such as height of the wall and internal friction angle of soil on the amount of seismic displacements were investigated. Finally, designing charts were presented for calculating yield acceleration coefficient and angle of failure wedge.
