The paper aims to investigate the mechanical mechanism and seismic effect of stiffeners in blind bolt endplate connection to CFST column. A precise 3D finite element model with considering the cyclic properties of concrete and steel materials was established, and the efficiency was validated through monotonic and cyclic test data. The deforming pattern and the seismic performance of the unstiffened and stiffened blind bolt endplate connections were investigated. Then a parametric analysis was conducted to analyze the contribution of stiffeners and the joint working behaviors with endplate under cyclic load. The joint stiffness classifications were compared and a supplement stiffness classification method was proposed, and the energy dissipation ability of different class connections were compared and discussed. Results indicated that the main deformation pattern of unstiffened blind bolt endplate connections was the local bending of end plate. The vertical stiffeners can effectively alleviate the local bending deformation of end plate. And influence of stiffeners in thin endplate and thick endplate was different. Based on the stiffness of external diaphragm welded connection, a more detailed rigidity classification was proposed which included the pin, semi-rigid, quasi-rigid and rigid connection. Beam was the main energy dissipation source for rigid connection. For the semi-rigid and quasi-rigid connection, the extended endplate, stiffeners and steel beam would all participate in the energy dissipation.

In this study, the frictional behaviors of articular cartilage against a Co-Cr alloy in two types of kinematic motions were compared. Cartilage pins were punched from the femoral condyles of porcine knee joints, and Co-Cr alloy disks were machined from orthopedic-grade rods and polished to a surface roughness ($R_a$) of 0.002. Friction tests were conducted by using a pin-on-disk-type tribotester in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) under pressures of 0.5, 1, and 2 MPa. All tests were performed in the repeat pass rotational (ROT) and the linear reciprocal (RCP) sliding motions with the same sliding distance and speed of 50 mm/s. The coefficients of friction of the cartilage against the Co-Cr alloy increased with the sliding time in both kinematic motions for all contact pressures. The maximum coefficients of friction in RCP motion were 1.08, 2.82, and 1.96 times those in ROT motion for contact pressures of 0.5, 1, and 2 MPa, respectively. As the contact pressure increased, the coefficients of friction gradually increased in RCP motion, whereas they decrease and then increased in ROT motion. The interaction between the directional change of the shear stress and the orientation of collagen fiber in the superficial layer of the cartilage could affect the change in the frictional behaviors of the cartilage. A large difference in the coefficients of friction between the two kinematic motions could be interpreted as differences in the directional change of shear stress at the contact surface.

Design and safety assessment of fuel pins for application in innovative Generation IV fast reactors calls for a dedicated nuclear fuel modelling and for the extension of the fuel performance code capabilities to the envisaged materials and irradiation conditions. In the INSPYRE Project, comprehensive and physics-based models for the thermal-mechanical properties of U-Pu mixed-oxide (MOX) fuels and for fission gas behaviour were developed and implemented in the European fuel performance codes GERMINAL, MACROS and TRANSURANUS. As a follow-up to the assessment of the reference code versions ("pre-INSPYRE", NET 53 (2021) 3367-3378), this work presents the integral validation and benchmark of the code versions extended in INSPYRE ("post-INSPYRE") against two pins from the SUPERFACT-1 fast reactor irradiation experiment. The post-INSPYRE simulation results are compared to the available integral and local data from post-irradiation examinations, and benchmarked on the evolution during irradiation of quantities of engineering interest (e.g., fuel central temperature, fission gas release). The comparison with the pre-INSPYRE results is reported to evaluate the impact of the novel models on the predicted pin performance. The outcome represents a step forward towards the description of fuel behaviour in fast reactor irradiation conditions, and allows the identification of the main remaining gaps.

적층복합재는 면내 방향의 물성은 우수하지만 두께 방향의 물성이 취약하여 굽힘, 비틀림하중이 가해질 때 층간 분리(Delamination) 현상이 쉽게 나타난다. 층간 분리 현상을 지연하는 복합재의 두께 방향 물성 보강법으로는 Z-pinning, Stitching, Tufting 등이 있으며, 대표적으로 Z-pinning과 Stitching 공법을 많이 사용한다. Z-pinning 공법은 prepreg의 두께 방향으로 금속 핀이나 카본 핀을 적용하여 보강하는 공법이고, Stitching 공법은 프리폼에 상부 및 하부 섬유를 교차시켜 두께방향으로 기계적 강도를 향상시키는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 Z-pinning과 Stitching 공법의 단점을 보완 및 개선한 I-fiber stitching 공법을 제안하였으며, 본 공법이 적용된 복합재 Single-lap joint의 정적 강도를 평가하였다. Single-lap joint 시편은 오토클레이브 진공백 공정을 사용하여 동시경화법으로 제작하였다. 복합재 시편 두께는 고정하였으며, Stitching 패턴(5×5, 7×7)과 삽입 각도(0°, 45°)를 변화시켜가며 총 5 종류의 시편을 제작하였다. 시험 결과, I-fiber stitching 공법을 적용한 시편의 파손하중은 보강하지 않은 시편의 파손하중 대비 최대 143% 증가하였다.

복합재 체결부는 뛰어난 물성과 가벼운 구조의 수요로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 두께 방향의 취약한 물성으로 인해 체결부 파손이 쉽게 발생한다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 체결부 끝단의 집중되는 응력을 완화시켜주는 Z-피닝, 스티칭 등 다양한 공법들이 적용되고 있다. Z-피닝 공법은 프리프레그의 두께 방향으로 금속 핀이나 카본 핀을 적용하여 보강하는 공법이고, 스티칭 공법은 프리폼에 상부 및 하부 섬유를 교차시켜 두께방향으로 기계적 강도를 향상시키는 방법이다. I-fiber 스티칭 공법은 Z-pinning 공법과 Stitching 공법을 보완한 유망한 공법이다. 본 논문에서는 I-fiber 스티칭 공법으로 보강된 Single-lap joint 시편을 오토클레이브 진공백 성형법으로 제작하여, 모재의 두께와 스티칭 각도에 따른 인장강도 및 피로강도 특성을 평가하여, I-fiber 보강 복합재 체결부 구조물의 보강효과를 검증하였다. 실험결과, 복합재 체결부의 두께가 얇을수록 I-fiber 보강효과가 더 높게 나타났으며 I-fiber로 보강된 복합재 체결부는 파손강도에서 약 52%, 피로강도에서 약 118% 우수한 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Lightweight metallic truss structures with open, periodic cell are currently being investigated because of their multi-functionality such as thermal management and load bearing. The Kagome truss PCM has been proved that it has higher resistance to plastic buckling, more plastic deformation energy and lower anisotropy than other truss PCMs. The subject of this paper is an examination of the failure mechanism of Wire woven Bulk Kagome(WBK). To address this issue, the out-of-plane compressive responses of the WBK has been measured and compared with theoretical and finite element (FE) predictions. For the experiment, 2 multi-layered WBK are fabricated and 3 specimens are prepared. For the theoretical analysis, the brazed joints of each wire in WBK are modeled as the pin-joint. Then, the peak stress of compressive behavior and elastic modulus are calculated based on the equilibrium equation and energy method. The mechanical structure with five by five cells on the plane are constructed is modeled using the commercial code, PATRAN 2005. and the analysis is achieved by the commercial FE code ABAQUS version 6.5 under the incremental theory of plasticity.

Ceramic femoral heads in the total hip replacement have been developed to reduce the polyethylene liner wear, Alumina and zirconia (3Y-TZP) having the excellent tribological properties are coupled against acetabular cups of polyethylene and are used in clinical application worldwide. However, alumina has a risk of catastrophic failure, and zirconia has the low temperature degradation in spite of enhanced fracture toughness. Recently, novel zirconia/alumina composite is very attractive due to the low temperature degradation (LTD)-free character and high fracture toughness. In the present study, we focus on the wear of ceramic on ceramic, which are able to be used as femoral heads and acetabular cups. Therefore, LTD-free zirconia/alumina composites with three compositions are made in a form of disk and cylinder, and the wear of the composites is performed on pin-on-disk type wear tester. The wear is conducted with or without lubricant. All the composites fabricated with the different composition show the good wear resistance.

Two types of baby corn silk detachment systems called fixing and moving baby corn and based on applying frictional force on the silk were developed and evaluated. In the fixing mode the baby corn was fixed on a pin and a hollow frictional cylinder was moved concentrically and vertically along the baby corn towards the branch end. In the moving mode the baby corn was forced vertically towards the tip to pass through the same silk detachment cylinder. Traveling speeds of the detachment cylinder and the baby corn were 44.5 and 166.9 mm/s. In the fixing mode at silk moisture content of 91 % (w.b) silk detachment efficiencies at low and high speeds were 99.1 and 99.2%. The silk detachment efficiencies in the moving mode at low and high speeds were 96.6 and 98.5%. Damaged baby corn at low speed was less than at high speed in both modes. Minimum damage was nil in the fixing mode at low speed and the maximum was 47.5% in the moving mode at high speed. The damaged was due to ovaries r moval at the base near the joint between the baby corn and the branch.

Purpose: To present the procedure and results of dorsal wedge osteotomy fixated by bioabsorbable polyglycolide pins for the treatment of symptomatic Freiberg's disease. Materials and Methods: From January 1997 to December 2002, six patients with Freiberg's disease underwent dorsal wedge osteotomy of the metatarsal neck to bring the healthy plantar part of the metatarsal head into articulation. Bioabsorbable polyglycolide pins were used for the fixation and short-leg walking cast was applied for 4 weeks. Results: All patients returned to full daily activities without pain in three months after the operation. Radiographically, solid healing of the osteotomy was observed at average ten weeks. The active range of motion of the metatarsophalangeal joint increased by a mean gain of 30 degrees, and no complication such as displacement, osteolysis or sinus formation was observed. Conclusion: Dorsal wedge osteotomy fixated by bioabsorbable pins for patients with symptomatic Freiberg's disease is effective procedure that provides relatively early range of motion exercise and avoids second procedure for implant removal.

In general, the load which acts on the structure is almost independent of time in many locations. In this case. It is difficult to estimate the life with the service load history, because the structure is on the multi- axial and multi-point loading states. In this study, the service load of the excavator which is widely used in industry field was calculated using measured cylinder pressures and displacements. The fatigue life was estimated using the multi-axial and multi-point load counting method. Service load history of 4 pin joint which act independently each other is yielded by mult-axial and multi-point load counting method. The stress spectrum is yielded by superposition of the results of FEM stress analysis applied unit load. Palm- gren-Miner's cumulative Damage is 0.000804 for Von Mises equivalent stress sequence by one side fillet weld S-N curve. This result agress with Bench test results. As a result of this study, the fatigue life esti- mation using the multi-axial and multi-axial and multi-point load counting method is useful.
