Purpose: A chisel mounted on working implement, such as agricultural machinery used in irregular farming conditions, is subjected to highly variable fatigue loading during work. To ensure the safety of the chisel on a working implement for the duration of its service life, fatigue testing must be performed with the proper fatigue test load conditions. In this study, working loads for a chisel were developed by reconstructing loads from strain gage data collected during field tests and used to conduct fatigue tests on the chisel component. Methods: FE analysis with nCode software was utilized to select the proper quantity and locations of strain gages for load measurements. A fatigue test was performed to experimentally verify the fatigue strength of the chisel and to evaluate the validity of the load history developed with the load reconstruction technique. Results: A strain history for the chisel was obtained from data collected during field tests. The data was filtered for the 14-16 km/h speed range, connected, and merged. The chisel load history was developed using the load reconstruction technique. The resulting load history was expressed as a load spectrum using the rain-flow counting method. Conclusions: A fatigue test was conducted on a chisel under a constant load condition with an equivalent load amplitude and number of cycles, as calculated by Miner's Rule for linear damage accumulation. During the fatigue test, there were no cracks at any position. It is concluded that the fatigue test method proposed in this study can be utilized successfully as a durability evaluation method for the chisel.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the design parameters and to develop the cooling and heating load prediction equations of office buildings. The building load calculation simulation was carried out using the DOE-2.1E program. The results of the simulation was used as a data for ANOVA and multiple regression analysis which could develop the load prediction equations.

Objective : Major complaints of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are sensory components. However, motor deficit also impedes functional status of hand. Contrary to evaluation of sensory function, the objective, quantitative evaluation of median nerve motor function is not easy. The motor function of median was evaluated quantitatively using load cell and its correlation with findings of electrodiagnostic study (EDS) was evaluated. Methods : Objective motor function of median nerve was evaluated by load cell and personal computer-based measurement system. All of the measurement was done in patients diagnosed as having idiopathic CTS by clinical features and EDS findings. The strength of thumb abduction and index finger flexion was measured in each hand three times, and the average value was used to calculate thumb index ratio (TIR). The correlation of TIR with clinical, EDS, and ultrasonographic findings were evaluated. Results : The TIR was evaluated in 67 patients (119 hands). There were 14 males and 53 females, mean age were 57.6 years (range 28 to 81). The higher preoperative nerve conductive studies grade of the patients, the lower TIR was observed [p<0.001, analysis of variance (ANOVA)]. TIR of cases with thenar atrophy were significantly lower than those without (p<0.001, t-test). TIR were significantly lower in patients with severe median nerve swelling in ultrasonography (p=0.042, ANOVA). Conclusion : Measurements of median nerve motor function using load cell is a valuable evaluation tool in CTS. It might be helpful in detecting subclinical motor dysfunction before muscle atrophy develops.

국내 외 하중저항계수설계법의 저항계수 보정 시 수집된 데이터베이스의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위하여 저항편향계수 산정 단계에서 저항편향치의 ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ 범위의 데이터만을 선택하거나 가정된 확률분포 검정을 만족하도록 꼬리(tail)부분의 데이터를 제거하는 방법을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 이들 방법에서는 데이터베이스 내에 우연히 포함된 저품질의 데이터를 확인할 수 없는 단점이 발견되었다. 본 연구에서는 정재하시험의 품질, 원지반의 공학적 특성, 쇄석다짐말뚝의 제원 등의 품질기준을 이용하여 데이터베이스 구축 단계에서 수행할 수 있는 품질평가법을 제안하였으며, 국내 외 문헌 및 정재하시험 보고서로부터 65개소의 정재하시험 데이터를 수집하여 데이터베이스의 구축 및 품질평가를 수행하였다. 데이터베이스의 품질 평가 상태에 따른 저항편향계수와 변동계수, 저항계수를 비교한 결과, 기존의 데이터베이스 처리과정과 품질평가법을 병행할 경우에 저항편향계수의 불확실성이 감소되며, 신뢰도 높은 LRFD 저항계수 보정에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

A method of weight evaluation of the load-bearing structural elements of cars is presented and the weight ratio of the analysis model is investigated. Replacing the materials of floor elements of the car into the high-strength steel, a considerable weight-reduction of the model has been obtained. The 1500cc model is selected for the present study and the stick model analysis is employed for the structural analysis. The torsional stiffness of the weight-reduced model is also evaluated and it is shown it has a reasonable rigidity. The ratio of the weight of the load-bearing structural elements to the unladen vehicle weight of cars is about 0.12for the 1500cc model and the weight-reduction of this study can be obtained around 17% of the weight of the load-bearing structural elements.

This paper describes a proposal for evaluation load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete slab bridges considering the moment redistribution. Recognition of redistribution of moments can be important because it permits a more realistic appraisal of the actual load-carrying capacity of a structure, thus leading to improved economy. In addition, it permits the designer to modify, within limits, the moment diagrams for which members are to be designed. The predicted results shows that moment redistribution are different from estimated by the current KCI, ACI 318-02, EC2 provisions, and propose reasonable load carrying capacity of the reinforced concrete slab bridge.

Wheel load fatigue experiment is carried out on a FRP-concrete composite deck. In FRP-concrete composite deck, FRP plays a role of a main tensile member as well as a permanent formwork and concrete plays a role of a main compressive member. Wheel load fatigue experiment, which shows more realistic behavior than pulsating fatigue experiment, is selected as a fatigue performance evaluation method. Until 1,000,000 cycles of loadings, load resistant performance is maintained without any loss, while residual deflection is increased.
