A meshfree multi-scale method has been presented for efficient analysis of elasto-plastic problems. From the variational principle, problem is decomposed into a fine scale and a coarse scale problem. In the analysis only the plastic region is discretized using fine scale. Each scale variable is approximated using meshfree method. Adaptivity can easily and nicely be implemented in meshree method. As a method of increasing resolution, partition of unity based extrinsic enrichment is used. Each scale problem is solved iteratively. Iteration procedure is indispensable for the elasto-plastic deformation analysis. Therefore this kind of solution procedure is adequate to that problem. The proposed method is applied to Prandtl's punch test and shear band problem. The results are compared with those of other methods and the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated.

Analysis of R/C columns requires modeling of the plastic hinge region, as well as nonlinear material characteristics. This becomes a challenging task in view of the nonlinearity of both steel and concrete. Furthermore, formation and progression of plasticity in the hinge is a difficult phenomenan to simulate, especially under reversed cyclic loading and decaying strength conditions. This research provide one analytical model employed in column analysis, including the analysis procedure for establishing inelastic force-deformation relationships. The analytical results show good correlation with experimental data. The employed procedure with the adopted analytical models can be used to compute inelastic displacements of concrete columns with welded reinforcement grids. The inelastic deformability beyond the peak was similar to those indicated by columns with conventional ties. The superior performance of columns with welded grids may be attributed to the improved confinement characteristics of grids associated with increased rigidity of welded ties.

The effects of severe plastic deformation and heat treatment on the mechanical properties of Al 5052 and 6005 alloys were investigated using the metallurgical technique and nano-indentation technique in nano-surface region. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was used to apply severe plastic deformation to the aluminum alloys in order to obtain fine grain sized materials. The elastic modulus was measured and interpreted in relation to the metallurgical observation. The elastic modulus increased after ECAP process due to evolution of the fine grains. However, the elastic modulus decreased after heat treatment due to generation of coarsened precipitates on the grain boundaries.

최근 들어 고강도 철근의 사용이 증가하고 있지만, 지진위험이 있는 지역의 내진구조물에 있어서는 고강도 철근의 취성적 성질로 인해 그 사용이 제한되어 왔다. 그러나, 철근의 연성의 변화가 기둥의 부재레벨의 연성도에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 많은 연구가 없는 실정이다. 특히 고강도 철근을 사용하는 경우 철근의 연성의 변화로 인해 부재의 소성힌지 길이가 달라질 것으로 예상되지만, 기준의 소성힌지길이 산정식은 철근 등 재료의 특성을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 지진하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 기둥의 소성힌지길이는 실험을 통해서 측정하기는 어려움이 많다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 해석적인 방법을 통하여 재료레벨의 연성, 특히 철근의 연성이 소성힌지의 생성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고, 그 영향을 고려한 소성힌지길이 산정식을 제안하고자 한다.

Large-scale earthquakes pose serious threats to infrastructure causing substantial damage and large residual deformations. Superelastic (SE) Shape-Memory-Alloys (SMAs) are unique alloys with the ability to undergo large deformations, but can recover its original shape upon stress removal. The purpose of this research is to exploit this characteristic of SMAs such that concrete Beam-Column Joints (BCJs) reinforced with SMA bars at the plastic hinge region experience reduced residual deformation at the end of earthquakes. Another objective is to evaluate the seismic performance of SMA Reinforced Concrete BCJs repaired with flowable Structural-Repair-Concrete (SRC). A $\frac{3}{4}$-scale BCJ reinforced with SMA rebars in the plastic-hinge zone was tested under reversed cyclic loading, and subsequently repaired and retested. The joint was selected from an RC building located in the seismic region of western Canada. It was designed and detailed according to the NBCC 2005 and CSA A23.3-04 recommendations. The behaviour under reversed cyclic loading of the original and repaired joints, their load-storey drift, and energy dissipation ability were compared. The results demonstrate that SMA-RC BCJs are able to recover nearly all of their post-yield deformation, requiring a minimum amount of repair, even after a large earthquake, proving to be smart structural elements. It was also shown that the use of SRC to repair damaged BCJs can restore its full capacity.

The estimation of deformation and strain for the twill-weave carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite(CFRP) during the test with a digital image correlation system were implemented experimentally. The carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites have been developed as the edge technology materials. The plain, twill and satin weave types are commonly used for the CFRP composites. Thus, it is essential to find the deformation characteristics for those types of CFRP more easily. Especially the DIC method can express the visual strain distributions at the full range of the interested areas in the structures. In this study, the mechanical properties of twill-weave CFRP composite and the variation of strains in a full field of the specimen were estimated. The experiments were performed under a tensile loading and 3-point bending test with strain gages. Futhermore the DIC deformation results were estimated for the comparison. The results showed the deformation and strain contours visually well in all region of the interested areas and so usefulness for the safety control of the structures.

A novel theoretical solution is presented for created (zero initial radius) cavity expansion problem based on CamClay model and considers the effect of initial anisotropic in-situ stress and drained conditions. Here the strain of this theoretical solution is small deformation in elastic region and large deformation in plastic region. The works for cylindrical and spherical cavities expanding in drained condition from zero initial radius are investigated. Most of the conventional solutions were based on the isotropic and undrained condition, however, the initial stress state of natural soil mass is anisotropy by soil deposition history, and drained cavity expansion calculation is closer to actual engineering in permeable soil mass. Finally, the parametric study is presented in order to the engineering significance of this work.

The ring rolling process involves three-dimensional non-steady material flow and continuous change of radius and thickness of the ring workpiece. In this study, the deformation analysis and geometric updating algorithm of the ring rolling process were verified by using the three-dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method. Manufacturing processes for plain ring and T-shaped ring were investigated by comparing experiments with simulation results, especially in side spread, load-stroke and pressure distribution, showing a good agreement. It was concluded that the simulation method would be a useful tool for the design of a ring rolling process.

A concept of crash energy absorbing (CEA) lattice structure for an inflatable morphing vehicle body (Lee et al. 2008) has been investigated as a method of providing rigidity and energy absorption capability during a vehicular collision (Lee et al. 2007). A modified analytical model for the CEA lattice structure design is described in this paper. The modification of the analytic model was made with a stiffness approach for the elastic region and updated plastic limit analysis with a pure plastic bending deformation concept and amended elongation factors for the plastic region. The proposed CEA structure is composed of a morphing lattice structure with movable thin-walled members for morphing purposes, members that will be locked in designated positions either before or during the crash. What will be described here is how to model the CEA structure analytically based on the energy absorbed by the CEA structure.

본 연구에서는 비파괴법을 이용하여 압력용기 강 다층용접부에서 채취한 표준 샤르피 시험편의 균열선단에서 형성되는 소성변형 거동을 평가하였다. 모재, 후열처리재 및 용접재를 대상으로 시험편에 기계적인 노치를 가공한 후 예균열(pre-crack)을 낸 다음 4점 굽힘실험과 음향방출(acoustic emission: AE)실험을 동시에 실시하였다. 균열선단은 용접재외 후열처리재의 경우 용융선 근처에 위치하도록 하였다. 하중이 가해짐에 따라 균열선단에서 형성되는 소성영역의 크기는 응력확대계수를 이용하여 구했으며, 각 시험편에 대한 소성역의 크기와 음향방출 특성과의 관계는 축적된 AE 에너지 관점에서 고찰하였다. 시험편에 관계없이 탄성역역에서는 거의 AE신호가 감지되지 않았으며, 대부분의 AE신호는 소성변형 과정에서 발생하였다. 또한, 용접재가 모재와 후열처리재에 비해 AE신호가 훨씬 많이 발생하였다. 모재와 후열처리재 및 용접재의 균열선단에서 소성영역 크기와 축적된 AE에너지와의 관계는 현저히 다르게 나타났으며, 용접재의 AE counts는 모재와 후열처리재에 비해 많이 발생하였다.
