Numerical studies were carried out to develop the moment magnifier method for long-term behavior of flat plates, subjected to combined in-plane compressive and transverse loads. Nonlinear finite element analyses were performed for the numerical studies. Through the numerical studies, the long term behavior of the flat plate subjected to uniform or nonuniform floor load was investigated, and creep effects on the degradation of strength and stiffness of the slabs were examined. As the result, the creep factor was developed to epitomizes with creep effect on the flat plate. The moment magnifier method using the creep factor was developed for long-term behavior of flat plates. Also, the design examples are shown for verification of proposed design method.

Numerical studies are performed to investigate the behavior of flat plates under combined in-plane and out-of-plane loads. The numerical model is verified by comparison with experiments for plates simply supported on four edges. Through study on different load combination and loading sequence, the critical load condition that governs the strength of the flat plate is determined. Parametric studies are performed to investigate the buckling coefficient and the effective flexural rigidity so that the moment magnification method is applicable to the flat plates.

Let ${\gamma}{\equiv}\left{{\gamma}_{ij}\right}(0{\leq}i+j{\leq}2n)$ be a collection of complex numbers with ${\gamma}_{00}>0$ and ${\gamma}_{ji}={\bar{\gamma}}_{ij}$. The truncated complex moment problem for ${\gamma}$ entails finding a positive Borel measure ${\mu}$ supported in the complex plane ${\mathbb{C}}$ such that ${\gamma}_{ij}={\int}{\bar{z}}^{i}z^jd{\mu}(z)(0{\leq}i+j{\leq}2n)$. We solve this truncated moment problem with data in a circle and discuss the behavior of data in an extended moment matrix.

The moment-curvature relation for simple bending is a well-studied subject and the classical moment-curvature diagram is commonly found in literature. The influence of axial forces has generally been considered as compression onto symmetrically reinforced cross-sections, thus strain at the reference fiber never has been an issue. However, when dealing with integral structures, which are usually statically indeterminate in different degrees, these concepts are not sufficient. Their horizontal elements are often completely restrained, which, under imposed deformations, leads to moderate compressive or tensile axial forces. The authors propose to analyze conventional beam cross-sections with moment-curvature diagrams considering asymmetrically reinforced cross-sections under combined influence of bending and moderate axial force. In addition a new diagram is introduced that expands the common moment-curvature relation onto the strain variation at the reference fiber. A parametric study presented in this article reveals the significant influence of selected cross-section parameters.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences of shock attenuation strategies between double-leg and single-leg landing on sagittal plane using statistical parametric mapping. Method: Nine healthy female professional soccer players (age: 24.0±2.5 yrs, height: 164.9±3.3 cm, weight: 55.7±6.6 kg, career: 11.2±1.4 yrs) were participated in this study. The subjects performed 10 times of double-leg and single-leg landing from the box of 30 cm height onto force plates respectively. The ground reaction force, angle, moment, angular velocity, and power of the ankle, knee, and hip joint on sagittal plane was calculated from initial contact to maximum knee flexion during landing phase. Statistical parametric mapping was used to compare the biomechanical variables of double-leg and single-leg landing of the dominant leg throughout the landing phase. Each mean difference of variables was analyzed using a paired t-test and alpha level was set to 0.05. Results: For the biomechanical variables, significantly increased vertical ground reaction force, plantarflexion moment of the ankle joint, negative ankle joint power and extension moment of the hip joint were found in single-leg landing compared to double-leg landing (p<.05). In addition, the flexion angle and angular velocity of the knee and hip joint in double-leg landing were observed significantly greater than single-leg landing, respectively (p<.05). Conclusion: These findings suggested that negative joint power and plantarflexion moment of the ankle joint can contribute to shock absorption during single-leg landing and may be the factors for preventing the musculoskeletal injuries of the lower extremity by an external force.

This paper proposes a method of adaptively generating a gait pattern of biped robot. The gait synthesis is based on human's gait pattern analysis. The proposed method can easily be applied to generate the natural and stable gait pattern of any biped robot. To analyze the human's gait pattern, sequential images of the human's gait on the sagittal plane are acquired from which the gait control values are extracted. The gait pattern of biped robot on the sagittal plane is adaptively generated by a genetic algorithm using the human's gait control values. However, galt trajectories of the biped robot on the sagittal Plane are not enough to construct the complete gait pattern because the bided robot moves on 3-dimension space. Therefore, the gait pattern on the frontal plane, generated from Zero Moment Point (ZMP), is added to the gait one acquired on the sagittal plane. Consequently, the natural and stable walking pattern for the biped robot is obtained.

In this paper, we consider the quartic moment problem suggested by Curto-Fialkow[6]. Given complex numbers $\gamma{\equiv}{\gamma}^{(4)}\;:\;{\gamma00},\;{\gamma01},\;{\gamma10},\;{\gamma01},\;{\gamma11},\;{\gamma20},\;{\gamma03},\;{\gamma12},\;{\gamma21},\;{\gamma30},\;{\gamma04},\;{\gamma13},\;{\gamma22},\;{\gamma31},\;{\gamma40}$, with ${\gamma00},\;>0\;and\;{\gamma}_{ji}={\gamma}_{ij}$ we discuss the conditions for the existence of a positive Borel measure ${\mu}$, supported in the complex plane C such that ${\gamma}_{ij}=\int\;\={z}^i\;z^j\;d{\mu}(0{\leq}i+j{\leq}4)$. We obtain sufficient conditions for flat extension of the quartic moment matrix M(2). Moreover, we examine the existence of flat extensions for nonsingular positive quartic moment matrices M(2).

Let ${\gamma}{\equiv}{\gamma}^{(2n)}$ denote a sequence of complex numbers ${\gamma}{00},{\gamma}{01},\cdots,{\gamma}0, 2n,...,{\gamma}{2n},0\;with\; {\gamma}{00}\;>\;0,{\gamma}{ji}={{\overline}{\gamma_{ij}}}$,and let K denote a closed subset of the complex plane C. The truncated K complex moment problem entails finding a positive Borel measure $\mu$ such that ${\gamma}{ij}={\int}{{\overline}{z}}^{i}z^{j}d{\mu}\;(0{\leq}\;i+j\;{\leq}\;2n)$ and supp ${\mu}{\subseteq}\;K$. If n=2, then is called the quartic moment problem. In this paper, we give partial solutions for the singular quartic moment problem with rank M(2)=5 and ${{\overline}{Z}}Z{\in}\;<1,Z,{{\overline}{Z}},Z^{2},{{\overline}{Z}}^2>$.

Numerical study using nonlinear finite element analysis is done for investigating behavior of isolated reinforced concrete walls subject to combined in-plane and out-of-plane bending moments and axial force. A method for estimating the ultimate strength of wall is developed, based on the analytical results. For the nonlinear finite element analysis, a computer program addressing material and geometric nonlinearities is developed. An existing unified method combining plasticity theory and damage model is used for material model of reinforced concrete. By numerical studies, the internal force distribution in the cross section is idealized, and a new method for estimating the ultimate strength of wall is developed. According to the proposed method, variation of the interaction curve of in-plane bending moment and axial force depends on the range of the permissible axial force per unit length that is determined by the given amount of out-of-plane bending moment. As the out-of-plane bending moment increases, the interaction curve shrinks, which indicates a decrease in the ultimate strength. The proposed method is compared with an existing method using the general assumption that strain shall be directly proportional to the distance from the neutral axis. Compared with the proposed method, the existing method overestimates the ultimate strength for walls subject to low out-of-plane bending moments, and it underestimates the ultimate strength for walls subject to high out-of-plane bending moments.
