In seismic analysis of moment-resisting frames, beam-column connections are often modeled with rigid joint zones. However, it has been demonstrated that, in ductile reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames designed based on current codes (to say nothing of older non-ductile frames), the joint zones are in fact not rigid, but rather undergo significant shear deformations that contribute greatly to global drift. Therefore, the "rigid joint" assumption may result in misinterpretation of the global performance characteristics of frames and could consequently lead to miscalculation of strength and ductility demands on constituent frame members. The primary objective of this paper is to propose a rational method for estimating the hysteretic joint shear behavior of RC connections and for incorporating this behavior into frame analysis. The authors tested four RC edge beam-column-slab connection subassemblies subjected to earthquake-type lateral loading; hysteretic joint shear behavior is investigated based on these tests and other laboratory tests reported in the literature. An analytical scheme employing the modified compression field theory (MCFT) is developed to approximate joint shear stress vs. joint shear strain response. A connection model capable of explicitly considering hysteretic joint shear behavior is then formulated for nonlinear structural analysis. In the model, a joint is represented by rigid elements located along the joint edges and nonlinear rotational springs embedded in one of the four hinges linking adjacent rigid elements. The connection model is able to well represent the experimental hysteretic joint shear behavior and overall load-displacement response of connection subassemblies.

This study presents a new beam-column model comprising material nonlinearity and joint flexibility to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. The nonlinear behavior of connections has an outstanding role on the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. In presented research, the joint flexibility is considered applying a rotational spring at each end of the member. To derive the moment-rotation behavior of beam-column connections, the relative rotations produced by the relative slip of flexural reinforcement in the joint and the flexural cracking of the beam end are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the considered spread plasticity model, unlike the previous models that have been developed based on the linear moment distribution subjected to lateral loads includes both lateral and gravity load effects, simultaneously. To confirm the accuracy of the proposed methodology, a simply-supported test beam and three reinforced concrete frames are considered. Pushover and nonlinear dynamic analysis of three numerical examples are performed. In these examples the nonlinear behavior of connections and the material nonlinearity using the proposed methodology and also linear flexibility model with different number of elements for each member and fiber based distributed plasticity model with different number of integration points are simulated. Comparing the results of the proposed methodology with those of the aforementioned models describes that suggested model that only uses one element for each member can appropriately estimate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures.

This paper investigates the effect of the width of failure and tension crack (TC) on the stability of cohesive-frictional soil slopes in three dimensions. Working analytically, the slip surface and the tension crack are considered to have spheroid and cylindrical shape respectively, although the case of tension crack having planar, vertical surface is also discussed; the latter was found to return higher safety factor values. Because at the initiation of a purely rotational slide along a spheroid surface no shear forces develop inside the failure mass, the rigid body concept is conveniently used; in this respect, the validity of the rigid body concept is discussed, whilst it is supported by comparison examples. Stability tables are given for fully drained and fully saturated slopes without TC, with non-filled TC as well as with fully-filled TC. Among the main findings is that, the width of failure corresponding to the minimum safety factor value is not always infinite, but it is affected by the triggering factor for failure (e.g., water acting as pore pressures and/or as hydrostatic force in the TC). More specifically, it was found that, when a slope is near its limit equilibrium and under the influence of a triggering factor, the minimum safety factor value corresponds to a near spherical failure mechanism, even if the triggering factor (e.g., pore-water pressures) acts uniformly along the third dimension. Moreover, it was found that, the effect of tension crack is much greater when the stability of slopes is studied in three dimensions; indeed, safety factor values comparable to the 2D case are obtained.

지반공학에서 평면변형율을 가정하는 2차원 사면안정해석은 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이 가정은 사면활동이 넓은 영역에 걸쳐서 발생되는 가정이므로 3차원 효과가 무시된다. 대다수 연구에서 2차원해석의 최소안전율값은 3차원해석에 비하여 작게 평가되는 보수적인 결과를 나타낸다. 최근에는 컴퓨터의 소프트웨어와 하드웨어를 포함한 해석방법의 발달로 3차원해석에 대한 요구가 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원호모드, 병진모드사면을 이용하여 유한요소에 의한 2, 3차원해석 및 2차원 한계평형해석을 통하여 수치해석을 실시하였다. 해석결과 매개변수(요소망크기, 체적팽창각(dilatency angle), 경계조건, 응력이력, 모델차원)에 따른 사면안정해석에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 해석결과 2차원 해석보다 3차원 해석에 의한 사면의 안전율 값은 항상 크게 평가되며, W 뱡향 경계조건이 롤러지지인 경우, 사면폭에 의한 결과 차이는 없는 것으로 조사되었다.

This paper shows the design optimization of the paper feeding mechanism under dynamic behavior by using commercial codes of RecurDyn/MTT2D and RecurDyn/AutoDesign which are developed by functionBay, Inc. A virtual mockup for dynamics analysis of the paper feeding mechanism is build on RecurDyn/MTT2D and is simulated. Flexible paper is represented as a series of rigid bars connected by revolute joints and rotational spring dampers. Paper is fed by a contact and friction mechanism on rollers or guides. The slip of the paper and nip force of rollers are measured to estimate the system performance. After a simulation, these performances are automatically send to RecurDyn/AutoDesign which is a sequential approximate optimization tool based on the response surface modeling. RecurDyn/AutoDesign makes the approximate objective function and computes the optimized design points of the design variables and gives them to analysis tool. And then the simulation is repeated with the updated design variables. These processes are repeated until finding a tolerable design optimization. In this paper, a paper feeding mechanism is introduced and it is optimized with the proposed algorithms.

Coupling is a mechanical component that transmits rotational force by connecting two shafts. Curvic coupling is widely used in high-performance systems because of its excellent power transmission efficiency and easy machining. However, coupling applications change dynamic behavior by reducing the stiffness of an entire system. Contact surface stiffness is an important parameter that determines the dynamic behavior of a system. In addition, the roughness profile of a contact surface is the most important parameter for obtaining contact stiffness. In this study, we theoretically establish the process of contact and bending stiffness analysis by considering the rough surface contact at Curvic coupling. Surface roughness parameters are obtained from Nayak's random process, and the normal contact stiffness of a contact surface is calculated using the Greenwood and Williamson model in the elastic region and the Jackson and Green model in the elastic-plastic region. The shape of the Curvic coupling contact surface is obtained by modeling a machined shape through an actual machining tool. Based on this modeling, we find the maximum number of gear teeth that can be machined according to the contact angle. Curvic coupling stiffness is calculated by considering the contact angle, and the calculation process is divided into stick and slip conditions. Based on this process, we investigate the stiffness characteristics according to the contact angle.

새로운 기술의 도입과 정교함이 더해진 최근의 지상무기가 지능형 포탄의 발달로 이어졌으며 주요 선진국의 관심을 이끌었다. 본 연구에서는 회전운동을 하는 비행체에 대한 공력 데이터를 확보하기 위해 BLU-103 모델을 통한 전산유체역학해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 회전하는 비행체의 정상해석 기법을 모사하기 위해 동체는 고정시키고 주변의 공기를 회전시켜 동체가 회전 하는 것과 같은 원리를 이용하였다. 회전운동 하는 비행체의 공력 타당성을 검토하기 위해 단순형상에 대해 받음각 0도에서 90도, 옆 미끄럼각 0도에서 90도까지 각각 30도 간격으로 고려하여 해석을 수행하였다. Drag book에 제시되어 있는 항력 값을 통해 단순모델에 대한 항력계수가 1.0 ~ 1.2의 정량적 결과를 만족한다는 사실을 확인하였다. 단순형상에서의 해석조건을 통해 검증 된 유효한 입력 값을 동일하게 실제형상에 적용하여 회전 유무에 따른 공력데이터베이스를 구축하였고 경향성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 단순모델 뿐 아니라 실제 모델의 회전 시 축력계수, 수직력 계수, 측력 계수가 증가한다는 사실을 확인 하였고 특히 수직력 계수의 영향이 크게 작용되어 비행에 유리할 것이라 판단하였다.
