유리섬유시트로 보강된 철근콘크리트 보의 휨 거동을 조사하기 위해, 하나의 기준보와 8개의 보강보(4개의 NU-보강보, 4개의 U-보강보)에 대한 보강보 휨 실험을 수행하였다. NU 보강보는 단부에 U 밴드를 적용하지 않은 보를, U-보강보는 U 밴드를 가진 보를 의미한다. 보강보 실험에서의 실험변수들은 유리섬유시트의 보강 양, U 밴드의 유무 등이 있다. 기준보와 비교하여 NU 보강보와 U 보강보의 최대하중은 각각 48%와 34% 증가하였으며, 휨 강성은 각각 920%와 880% 증가하였다. NU 보강보와 U 보강보에 대한 연성지수는 1.43에서 2.60 사이에 놓여있다. U 밴드를 가진 보강 시스템은 섬유시트의 계면박리 파괴를 지연시키고, U 밴드가 없는 보강시스템보다 나은 연성거동을 나타내 보였다. NU 보강보와 U 보강보 모두에서 섬유시트 겹수의 증가에 따라 최대하중과 휨 강성은 증가하였다. 실험결과들을 이론적인 비선형 휨 해석결과와 비교하였으며, 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

최근 치의학 분야에서도 인체에 대한 구조적이고 역학적인 이해를 위하여 유한요소해석 기법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CT 이미지를 기반으로 하는 유한요소모델링 기법을 제안하고, 실험결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 또한 제안된 해석기법을 통해 교합 시뮬레이션을 구현하여 정상 I급 교합과 Full-CUSP II급 교합상태의 두개골 모델에 대하여 기하비선형구조해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 하악골이 같은 거리만큼 이동할 때 사람의 실제 교합력 범위에서는 두 모델의 교합력에 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 응력분포를 비교했을 때 정상 I급 교합모델은 치아 및 치조골 전반에 응력이 균등하게 발생하는 반면, Full-CUSP II급 교합모델의 경우 일부 구역에 응력집중 현상이 나타났다. 이는 치아의 부재 및 재배열로 인하여 교합면이 달라지면서 생긴 결과라고 분석된다.

In general, cylindrically curved plates are used in ships and offshore structures such as wind towers, spa structures, fore and aft side shell plating, and bilge circle parts in merchant vessels. In a number of studies, it has been shown that curvature increases the buckling strength of a plate under compressive loading, and the ultimate load-carrying capacity is also expected to increase. In the present paper, a series of elastic and elastoplastic large deflection analyses were performed using the commercial finite element analysis program (MSC.NASTRAN/PATRAN) in order to clarify and examine the fundamental buckling and collapse behaviors of curved plates subjected to combined axial compression and lateral pressure. On the basis of the numerical results, the effects of curvature, the magnitude of the initial deflection, the slenderness ratio, and the aspect ratio on the characteristics of the buckling and collapse behavior of the curved plates are discussed. On the basis of the calculated results, the design formula was developed to predict the buckling and ultimate strengths of curved plates subjected to combined loads in an analytical manner. The buckling strength behaviors were simulated by performing elastic large deflection analyses. The newly developed formulations were applied in order to perform verification analyses for the curved plates by comparing the numerical results, and then, the usefulness of the proposed method was demonstrated.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to propose finite element (FE) modeling methods for predicting stress distributions on teeth and mandible under chewing action. MATERIALS AND METHODS. For FE model generation, CT images of skull were translated into 3D FE models, and static analysis was performed considering linear material behaviors and nonlinear geometrical effect. To find out proper boundary and loading conditions, parametric studies were performed with various areas and directions of restraints and loading. The loading directions are prescribed to be same as direction of masseter muscle, which was referred from anatomy chart and CT image. From the analysis, strain and stress distributions of teeth and mandible were obtained and compared with experimental data for model validation. RESULTS. As a result of FE analysis, the optimized boundary condition was chosen such that 8 teeth were fixed in all directions and condyloid process was fixed in all directions except for forward and backward directions. Also, fixing a part of mandible in a lateral direction, where medial pterygoid muscle was attached, gave the more proper analytical results. Loading was prescribed in a same direction as masseter muscle. The tendency of strain distributions between the teeth predicted from the proposed model were compared with experimental results and showed good agreements. CONCLUSION. This study proposes cost efficient FE modeling method for predicting stress distributions on teeth and mandible under chewing action. The proposed modeling method is validated with experimental data and can further be used to evaluate structural safety of dental prosthesis.

본 연구에서는 암석의 최대강도 이전의 각 손상단계에서 탄성정수의 변화로 나타나는 손상특성과 최대강도 후거동을 고려할 수 있는 손상모델을 실험적으로 개발하였다. 일축 및 삼축압축실험 결과를 토대로 암석의 손상기준을 결정하였고, 각 손상단계에서 탄성정수의 변화를 구속압의 함수로 최적화시켰다. 또한 최대강도 후 Hoek-Brown상수 mr과 sr을 이용하여 최대강도 후 거동을 모사하였다. 개발된 실험 손상모델을FLAC$^{2D}$의 FISH 함수로 구현하여 수치해석을 실시하였다. Hoek-Brown 최대강도 후 상수들이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 일축압축강도는 mr과 sr 모두에 의해 영향을 받으나 5,에 의해 더 크게 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 m,은 최대강도 후의 응력-변형률 곡선의 기울기에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 분석으로부터 얻어진 최적 손상모델을 수치해석에 적용한 결과 실험실 시험으로부터 얻어진 최대 강도와 암석의 손상에 따른 강성 변화를 잘 예측하였다.다.

A Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is a complex dynamic system-of-systems with highly nonlinear behaviors. In order to control the plant operation under both normal and abnormal conditions, the different systems in NPPs (e.g., the reactor core components, primary and secondary coolant systems) are usually monitored continuously, resulting in very large amounts of data. This situation makes it possible to integrate relevant qualitative and quantitative knowledge with artificial intelligence techniques to provide faster and more accurate behavior predictions, leading to more rapid decisions, based on actual NPP operation data. Data-driven models (DDM) rely on artificial intelligence to learn autonomously based on patterns in data, and they represent alternatives to physics-based models that typically require significant computational resources and might not fully represent the actual operation conditions of an NPP. In this study, a feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) model was trained to simulate the interaction between the reactor core and the primary and secondary coolant systems in a pressurized water reactor. The transients used for model training included perturbations in reactivity, steam valve coefficient, reactor core inlet temperature, and steam generator inlet temperature. Uncertainties of the plant physical parameters and operating conditions were also incorporated in these transients. Eight training functions were adopted during the training stage to develop the most efficient network. The developed ANN model predictions were subsequently tested successfully considering different new transients. Overall, through prompt prediction of NPP behavior under different transients, the study aims at demonstrating the potential of artificial intelligence to empower rapid emergency response planning and risk mitigation strategies.

The rotation capacities of the plastic hinges located at beam-ends are significantly reduced in traditional steel framed-tube structures (SFTSs) because of the small span-to-depth ratios of the deep beams, leading to the low ductility and energy dissipation capacities of the SFTSs. High-strength steel framed-tube structures with replaceable shear links (HSSFTS-RSLs) are proposed to address this issue. A replaceable shear link is located at the mid-span of a deep spandrel beam to act as a ductile fuse to dissipate the seismic energy in HSSFTS-RSLs. A 2/3-scaled HSSFTS-RSL specimen with a shear link fabricated of high-strength low-alloy Q355 structural steel was created, and a cyclic loading test was performed to study the hysteresis behaviors of this specimen. The test results were compared to the specimens with soft steel shear links in previous studies to investigate the feasibility of using high-strength low-alloy steel for shear links in HSSFTS-RSLs. The effects of link web stiffener spaces on the cyclic performance of the HSSFTS-RSLs with Q355 steel shear links were investigated based on the nonlinear numerical analysis. The test results indicate that the specimen with a Q355 steel shear link exhibited a reliable and stable seismic performance. If the maximum interstory drift of HSSFTS-RSL is designed lower than 2% under earthquakes, the HSSFTS-RSLs with Q355 steel shear links can have similar seismic performance to the structures with soft steel shear links, even though these shear links have similar shear and flexural strength. For the Q355 steel shear links with web height-to-thickness ratios higher than 30.7 in HSSFTS-RSLs, it is suggested that the maximum intermediate web stiffener space is decreased by 15% from the allowable space for the shear link in AISC341-16 due to the analytical results.

Pressure hulls of submerged structures are generally designed as circular cylinders, spheres or cones with form of axisymmetric shell of revolution to withstand the high external pressure of deep ocean. The compressive buckling (implosion) due to hydrostatic pressure is the main concern of structural design of pressure hull and many design codes are provided for it. It is well-known that the buckling behavior of thin shell of revolution is very sensitive to the initial geometric imperfections introduced during the construction process of cutting and welding. Hence, the theoretical solutions for thin shells with perfect geometry often provide much higher buckling pressures than the measured data in tests or real structures and more precise structural analysis techniques are prerequisite for the safe design of pressure hulls. So this paper dealt with various buckling pressure estimation techniques for unstiffened circular cylinder under hydrostatic pressure conditions. The empirical design equations, eigenvalue analysis technique for critical pressure and collapse behaviors of thin cylindrical shells by the incremental nonlinear FE analysis were applied. Finally all the obtained results were compared with those of the pressure chamber test for the aluminium models. The pros and cons of each techniques were discussed and the most rational approach for the implosion of circular cylinder was recommended.
