Although the articular cartilage is only a few milimiters thick, it has surprising stiffness to compression, exceptional ability to distribute load minimizing peak stress on subchondral bone and great durability. In many instances, it help to preserve normal joint function for more than 80 years. Varying in thickness, cell density, matrix composition, mechanical properties even within the same joint, it provides low-friction and pain free-motion. However, it lacks a blood or lymphatic supply and neurological elements are absent. It shows limited healing potential because of poor regenerative capacity.

The purpose of this study is to compare the response of the high-strength concrete beam-column-slab subassembly with the response of a normal-strength concrete specimens. Four assemblies were designed 2/3 scale beam-column-slab joint(fc'=240kg/cm2 fc'=700kg/cm2) and tested to investigate seismic behaviour. From the test results 1) flexral cracks emerge to inside of bean deeply for high strength concrete member 2) the high-strength specimens represented stable hysteretic behaviour for the displacement ductility 5.5 but degradation in stiffness and strength and unstable hysteretic behaviors were observed owing to the brittleness of high-strength concrete beyond its range.

Star sensors are the attitude estimation sensors of the satellite orbiting in its path. It gives information to the control station on the earth about where the satellite is heading towards. It captures the images of a predetermined reference star. By comparing this image with that of the one captured from the earth, exact position of the satellite is determined. In the process of imaging, stray lights are eliminated from reaching the optic lens by the mechanical enclosures of the star sensors called Baffles. Research in space domain in the last few years is mainly focused on increased payload capacity and reduction in launch cost. In this paper, a star sensor baffle made of Aluminium is considered for the study. In order to minimize the component weight, material wastage and to improve the structural performance, an alternate material to Aluminium is investigated. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer is found to be a better substitute in this regard. Design optimisation studies are carried out by adopting suitable design modifications like implementing an additional L-shaped flange, Upward flange projections, downward flange projections etc. A better configuration of the baffle, satisfying the design requirements and achieving manufacturing feasibility is attained. Geometrical modeling of the baffle is done by using UNIGRAPHICS-Nx7.5(R). Structural behavior of the baffle is analysed by FE analysis such as normal mode analysis, linear static analysis, and linear buckling analysis using MSC/PATRAN(R), MSC-NASTRAN(R) as the solver to validate the stiffness, strength and stability requirements respectively. Effect of the layup sequence and the fiber orientation angle of the composite layup on the stiffness are also studied.

암반 구조물의 안정성을 분석하기 위해서는 암반 내 존재하는 불연속면의 전단거동 특성을 파악하는 것이 필수적이다. 특히 심부 지하에서의 암석 불연속면 마찰 거동 특성은 역학적, 수리적, 열적 및 화학적 조건과 각각의 조건들의 상호작용에 의해 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 열-수리-역학적 조건에서 불연속면의 전단 거동 특성을 파악하기 위해 매끈한 화강암 불연속면 시험편과 거칠기를 포함한 유사암석 불연속면 시험편을 대상으로 삼축압축장비를 이용한 전단실험을 수행하였다. Coulomb의 전단강도 예측식을 이용하여 실험결과를 분석한 바 화강암 시험편의 경우 실험 조건의 변화에 따라 마찰 거동에 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나 유사암석 시험편의 경우 응력 수준에 따라 변화를 보였다. 실험 조건의 변화에 따른 강성 및 팽창각의 변화를 분석한 결과 온도 및 수압 조건의 변화에 따라서 크게 변화하지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

The structural and functional disorder of a detrusor induces a bladder hypertrophy and degenerates a bladder muscle gradually by preventing normal urination. Thus, the thickness of the bladder wall has been increased in proportion to the degree of bladder outlet obstruction. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of the detrusor is analyzed for the physical properties and the thickness changes of the bladder muscle using a mathematically analytic method. In order to obtain the mechanical property of the bladder muscle, the tensile test of porcine bladder tissue is performed because its property is similar to that of human. The result of tensile test is applied to the mathematically model as Mooney Rivlin coefficients which represent the hyperelastic material. The model of the bladder is defined as the spherical shape with the initial volume of 50ml. The principal stress and strain according to the thickness are analyzed. Also, computer simulations for three types of the material property for the model of the bladder are performed based on the fact that the stiffness of the bladder is weakened as the progress of the benign prostatic hyperplasia. As a result, the principal stress is 341kPa at the initial thickness of 2.2mm, and is 249kPa at 6.5mm. As the bladder wall thickness increases, the principal stress decreases. The principal stress and strain decrease as the stiffness of the bladder decreases under the same thinkness.

A framed structure may be composed of two sub-structures, which are linked by a hinged joint. One sub-structure is the primary system and the other is the secondary system. The primary system, which is subjected to the periodic external load, can give rise to an auto-parametric resonance of the second system. Considering the geometric-stiffness effect produced by the axially internal force, the element equation of motion is derived by the extended Hamilton's principle. The element equations are then assembled into the global non-homogeneous Mathieu-Hill equations. The Newmark's method is introduced to solve the time-history responses of the non-homogeneous Mathieu-Hill equations. The energy-growth exponent/coefficient (EGE/EGC) and a finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FLE) are proposed for determining the auto-parametric instability boundaries of the structural system. The auto-parametric instabilities are numerically analyzed for the two frames. The influence of relative stiffness between the primary and secondary systems on the auto-parametric instability boundaries is investigated. A phenomenon of the "auto-parametric internal resonance" (the auto-parametric resonance of the second system induced by a normal resonance of the primary system) is predicted through the two numerical examples. The risk of auto-parametric internal resonance is emphasized. An auto-parametric resonance experiment of a ${\Gamma}$-shaped frame is conducted for verifying the theoretical predictions and present calculation method.

라텍스개질콘크리트(LMC)는 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 인장강도와 내구성 등 개선된 재료 특성을 가지고 있으며, 따라서 교량 데크 슬래브의 생애주기를 증대시키기 위하여 교면 포장재로 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 사용에는 LMC 포장부와 콘크리트 모반 사이의 우수한 부착성능이 전제된다. 한편 교량 데크 슬래브의 구조적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 고성능 콘크리트(HPC) 슬래브가 현재 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 일반 콘크리트(NSC) 또는 HPC 교량 데크 슬래브에 타설된 LMC 포장부의 부착거동을 모사하기 위하여, 유한요소해석을 이용한 변수 연구가 수행되었다. 이 연구에서 콘크리트 모반의 수축, 강성, 균열강도와 LMC 포장부의 두께가 콘크리트-LMC 포장부의 균열 발생에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석연구 결과, HPC 슬래브는 높은 수축량과 강성으로 인하여 콘크리트-LMC 교면 포장부에 균열을 유발할 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.
