The possibility to use powder consisting of fullerite microcrystallines as a device sensitive to the external axial mechanical load is considered. We suppose that the change of conductivity of fullerite microcrystalline powder as a function of external mechanical stress will be useful for the creation of nanoscale devices of sensor electronics. This new effect based on changing of intermolecular distance between fullerene molecules due to the action of external mechanical force, which can change the distance between fullerene molecules because of weak van der Waals interaction exists. The founded effect is quite linear and sensitive to external mechanical stress is better then in well-known pressure transducers is based on silicon technology.

In this paper the formulation of an efficient frame element applicable for nonlinear analysis of 3D reinforced concrete (RC) frames is outlined. Interaction between axial force and bending moment is considered by using the fibre element approach. Further, section warping, effect of normal and tangential forces on the torsional stiffness of section and second order geometrical nonlinearities are included in the model. The developed computer code is employed for nonlinear static analysis of RC sub-assemblages and a simple approach for extending the formulation to dynamic cases is presented. Dynamic progressive collapse assessment of RC space frames based on the alternate path method is undertaken and dynamic load factor (DLF) is estimated. Further, it is concluded that the torsional behaviour of reinforced concrete elements satisfying minimum standard requirements is not significant for the framed structures studied.

Mental workload has a improtant place in modern work environment such as human-computer interaction. Designing man-machine system requires knowledge and evaluation of the human cognitive process which controls information flow during our works. Many studies estimate reaction time as a index of menatal workload. This paper investigates what reflacts the workload of human information handling when the informations grow its degree. Experiment result introuce the memory time that explain the information-load more sensitive than react time. And react time shows learning effect but memory time does'nt show that effect So it can be concluded that cognitive learning or work schema needs more time to achieve dexterity than motor skill.

이 연구에서는 UHPFRC에 대해 강섬유의 인발실험을 수행하고, 그 결과로부터 매트릭스에 대한 강섬유의 부착강도를 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 실험은 여러 개의 섬유를 이용한 양면 인발실험을 적용하였다. 섬유분포밀도에 따른 영향을 파악해 본 결과, 이 연구에서 고려한 섬유분포밀도의 범위는 섬유 간 상호간섭효과를 나타내지 않는 범위임을 확인하였다. 최대 인발하중 상태의 하중 또는 흡수에너지, 완전 뽑힘 상태의 흡수에너지를 고려한 몇 가지 방법들로 부착강도를 평가한 결과, 완전 뽑힘 상태의 흡수에너지로부터 구한 부착강도는 섬유의 묻힘길이에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 최대 인발하중 상태로부터 구한 부착강도는 평균적으로 약 6.64 MPa의 부착강도를 나타냈으며, 이 값은 최대 인발하중만으로 구한 부착강도 6.46 MPa와 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 실험 및 평가의 용이성을 고려할 때 최대 인발하중만으로 부착강도를 평가해도 무방할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 스낵모양의 규칙성에 따른 기준점설정 및 조정효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 본 연구는 2012 년 이전 연구와의 비교를 위하여 동일한 실험설계 하에서 규칙성 있는 자극물로 '촉촉한 초코칩'을 선정하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 규칙적인 자극물에서도 기준점 설정 및 조정효과가 나타났다. 그러나 이전 실험의 결과는 제품 단위 수에 따른 수량예측치의 차이가 통계적으로 유의한 반면, 본 연구에서는 통계적 유의확률이 더 높게 나타나 제품이 규칙성이 수량의 예측용이성을 높여 휴리스틱으로 인한 편향된 판단이 상당히 감소하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 2) 규칙적인 자극물에서도 언어적 정보의 추가제공으로 기준점 설정효과는 차이가 줄어들었으나 그 상호작용효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 그러나 그 원인은 다르게 나타났다. 이는 규칙성에 따른 기준점설정의 효과, 첫번째 연구문제에 대한 검증결과를 강화시켜주는 것으로 해석해 볼 수 있다. 3) 규칙적인 자극물에서도 인지부하정도의 상호작용효과는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 그러나 이 결과도 이전실험의 결과와는 전혀 다른 의미(인지과부하에 의한 편향된 판단의 확대)를 제공한다. 본 연구는 이전의 한계점을 극복한다는 측면에서 그리고 지나친 인지과부하는 편향된 판단을 오히려 강화할 수 있다는 점에서 마케팅 전략적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.

The increasing lack of good quality soils allowing the development of roadway, motorway, or railway networks, as well as large scale industrial facilities, necessitates the use of reinforcement techniques. Their aim is the improvement of the global performance of compressible soils, both in terms of settlement reduction and increase of the load bearing capacity. Among the various available techniques, the improvement of soils by incorporating vertical stiff piles appears to be a particularly appropriate solution, since it is easy to implement and does not require any substitution of significant soft soil volumes. The technique consists in driving a group of regularly spaced piles through a soft soil layer down to an underlying competent substratum. The surface load being thus transferred to this substratum by means of those reinforcing piles, which illustrates the case of a piled embankment. The differential settlements at the base of the embankment between the soft soil and the stiff piles lead to an "arching effect" in the embankment due to shearing mechanisms. This effect, which can be accentuated by the use of large pile caps, allows partial load transfer onto the pile, as well as surface settlement reduction, thus ensuring that the surface structure works properly. A technique for producing rigid piles has been developed to achieve in a single operation a rigid circular pile associated with a cone shaped head reversed on the place of a rigid circular pile. This technique has been used with success in a pile-supported road near Bourgoin-Jallieu (France). In this article, a numerical study based on this real case is proposed to highlight the functioning mode of this new technique in the case of industrial slabs.

This model is proposed to describe the buckling behavior of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in an elastic medium taking into account the combined effects of the magnetic field, the temperature, the nonlocal parameter, the number of walls. Using Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory, thin cylindrical shell theory and Van der Waal force (VdW) interactions, we develop a system of partial differential equations governing the buckling response of CNTs embedded on Winkler, Pasternak, and Kerr foundations in a thermal-magnetic environment. The pre-buckling stresses are obtained by applying airy's stress function and an adjacent equilibrium criterion. To estimate the nonlocal critical buckling load of CNTs under the simultaneous effects of the magnetic field, the temperature change, and the number of walls, an optimization technique is proposed. Furthermore, analytical formulas are developed to obtain the buckling behavior of SWCNTs embedded in an elastic medium without taking into account the effects of the nonlocal parameter. These formulas take into account VdW interactions between adjacent tubes and the effect of terms involving differences in tube radii generally neglected in the derived expressions of the critical buckling load published in the literature. Most scientific research on modeling the effects of magnetic fields is based on beam theories, this motivation pushes me to develop a cylindrical shell model for studying the effect of the magnetic field on the static behavior of CNTs. The results show that the magnetic field has significant effects on the static behavior of CNTs and can lead to slow buckling. On the other hand, thermal effects reduce the critical buckling load. The findings in this work can help us design of CNTs for various applications (e.g. structural, electrical, mechanical and biological applications) in a thermal and magnetic environment.

원형 콘크리트 충전 강관(CFT)은 급속시공이 가능하고 뛰어난 좌굴 성능 및 콘크리트의 구속효과와 같은 여러 장점을 가지고 있어, 건축물의 기둥이나 교량의 교각으로 이용되고 있다. 하지만 CFT는 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 널리 이용되고 있지 않고 있다. 이러한 이유는 CFT의 설계기준들이 서로 상이하여 보수적인 설계가 이루어지고 있는 것에 일부 기인한다. 이 연구에서는 CFT설계에 널리 이용되는 AISC 및 EC4 설계기준의 타당성을 기존 연구자들이 수행한 실험 결과 및 이 연구에서 수행된 유한요소해석 결과를 이용하여 검증하였다. 특히 축력과 휨모멘트가 동시에 작용하는 CFT에 대하여 AISC 및 EC4에서 제안한 P-M 상관곡선의 타당성 검증에 초점을 두었다. 연구 결과, 기존의 P-M 상관곡선은 CFT의 강도를 상당히 보수적으로 예측하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구에서는 개선된 P-M 상관곡선을 제안하고 기존 실험 결과 및 이 연구에서 수행한 유한요소해석 결과를 이용하여 검증하였다.

In-place analysis for offshore platforms is essentially required to make proper design for new structures and true assessment for existing structures, in addition to the structural integrity of platforms components under the maximum and minimum operating loads when subjected to the environmental conditions. In-place analysis have been executed to check that the structural member with all appurtenance's robustness have the capability to support the applied loads in either storm or operating conditions. A nonlinear finite element analysis is adopted for the platform structure above the seabed and pile-soil interaction to estimate the in-place behavior of a typical fixed offshore platform. The SACS software is utilized to calculate the dynamic characteristics of the platform model and the response of platform joints then the stresses at selected members, as well as their nodal displacements. The directions of environmental loads and water depth variations have significant effects in the results of the in-place analysis behavior. The most of bending moment responses of the piles are in the first fourth of pile penetration depth from pile head level. The axial deformations of piles in all load combinations cases of all piles are inversely proportional with penetration depth. The largest values of axial soil reaction are shown at the pile tips levels (the maximum penetration level). The most of lateral soil reactions resultant are in the first third of pile penetration depth from pile head level and approximately vanished after that penetration. The influence of the soil-structure interaction on the response of the jacket foundation predicts that the flexible foundation model is necessary to estimate the force responses demands of the offshore platform with a piled jacket-support structure well.

Track-bridge interaction has become an essential part in the design of bridges and rails in terms of modern railways. As a unique ballastless slab track, the longitudinal continuous slab track (LCST) or referred to as the China railway track system Type-II (CRTS II) slab track, demonstrates a complex force mechanism. Therefore, a comprehensive track-bridge interaction study between multi-span simply supported beam bridges and the LCST is presented in this work. In specific, we have developed an integrated finite element model to investigate the overall interaction effects of the LCST-bridge system subjected to the actions of temperature changes, traffic loads, and braking forces. In that place, the deformation patterns of the track and bridge, and the distributions of longitudinal forces and the interfacial shear stress are studied. Our results show that the additional rail stress has been reduced under various loads and the rail's deformation has become much smoother after the transition of the two continuous structural layers of the LCST. However, the influence of the temperature difference of bridges is significant and cannot be ignored as this action can bend the bridge like the traffic load. The uniform temperature change causes the tensile stress of the concrete track structure and further induce cracks in them. Additionally, the influences of the friction coefficient of the sliding layer and the interfacial bond characteristics on the LCST's performance are discussed. The systematic study presented in this work may have some potential impacts on the understanding of the overall mechanical behavior of the LCST-bridge system.
