A new quasi-3D higher shear deformation theory (quasi-3D HSDT) for functionally graded plates is proposed in this article. The theory considers both shear deformation and thickness-stretching influences by a hyperbolic distribution of all displacements within the thickness, and respects the stress-free boundary conditions on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate without using any shear correction factor. The highlight of the proposed theory is that it uses undetermined integral terms in displacement field and involves a smaller number of variables and governing equations than the conventional quasi-3D theories, but its solutions compare well with 3D and quasi-3D solutions. Equations of motion are obtained from the Hamilton principle. Analytical solutions for buckling and dynamic problems are deduced for simply supported plates. Numerical results are presented to prove the accuracy of the proposed theory.

This study investigated the yielding capacity and performance of seismic dampers constructed with steel ring plates using numerical and analytical approaches. This study aims to provide an analytical relationship for estimating the yielding capacity and initial stiffness of steel ring dampers. Using plastic analysis and considering the mechanism of plastic hinge formation, a relation has been obtained for estimating the yielding capacity of steel ring dampers. Extensive parametric studies have been carried out using a nonlinear finite element method to examine the accuracy of the obtained analytical relationships. The parametric studies include investigating the influence of the length, thickness, and diameter of the ring of steel ring dampers. To this end, comprehensive verification studies are performed by comparing the numerical predictions with several reported experimental results to demonstrate the numerical method's reliability and accuracy. Comparison is made between the hysteresis curves, and failure modes predicted numerically or obtained/observed experimentally. Good agreement is observed between the numerical simulations and the analytical predictions for the yielding force and initial stiffness. The difference between the numerical models' ultimate tensile and compressive capacities was observed that average of about 22%, which stems from the performance of the ring-dampers in the tensile and compression zones. The results show that the steel ring-dampers are exhibited high energy dissipation capacity and ductility. The ductility parameters for steel ring-damper between values were 7.5 to 4.1.

파형 심재를 가지는 샌드위치 평판은 종 횡방향으로 충분한 강도를 가지며, 부재를 연결하기 위한 용접라인이 감소되고, 종 부재를 보강하기 위한 횡부재가 필요하지 않는다. 이러한 특성을 활용한 대형 알루미늄 압출재는 철도 차량과 초고속선의 중량 및 생산비용 절감을 위하여 사용될 수 있다. 그러나, 대형 알루미늄 압출판의 적절한 설계를 위해서는 압출재의 구조적인 거동에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저, 구조적인 거동을 이해하기 위한 상세 유한요소 해석을 수행하였고 둘째로, 설계에 적용하기 위한 간략화된 이론식을 제안하였다. 제안된 간략식은 상세 유한요소 해석에 의한 결과와 비교해 볼 때 높은 정확도를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 제안된 간략식은 초기 설계 단계에서의 반복적인 해석에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper deals with the development of structural test facility for the strength assessment of marine leisure boat built from carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) materials. The structural test facility consists of test jig, load application and control system, and data acquisition system. Test jig, and load application and control system are designed to accommodate various size and short span to depth ratios of single skin, top-hat stiffened and sandwich constructions in plated structural format such as square and rectangular shapes. A lateral pressure load, typical and important applied load condition to the plates of the hull structure for marine leisure boat, is simulated by employing a number of hydraulic cylinders operated automatically and manually. To examine and operate the structural test facility, five carbon/epoxy based FRP square plates having the test section area of $1m^2$, which are part of CFRP marine leisure boat hull, are prepared and they are subjected to monotonically increasing lateral pressure loads. In the test preparation, considering the symmetry of the plates geometry, various strain gauges and linear variable displacement transformer are used in conjunction with data acquisition system utilizing LabVIEW. From the test observation, the responses of the CFRP hull structure of marine leisure boat are understood by obtaining load to deflection and strain to load curves.

본 연구에서는 LNG 저장시설의 외조를 구성하는 SCP(sandwich concrete panel)에 대한 충돌해석을 수행하고 그 거동을 분석하였다. 설계기준 중 하나인 BS7777에서 제시하는 충돌에너지와 동일한 값을 갖도록 두 종류의 충돌체와 다양한 충돌속도를 이용하여 충돌조건을 구성하고 이에 대한 비선형동적 해석모델을 구성하여 설정된 충돌조건에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 또한 1차 충돌 후에 동일한 지점에 같은 충돌에너지를 가진 2차 충돌이 일어나는 것을 가정하여 충돌거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 동일한 충돌에너지를 갖는 충돌에서 충돌체의 크기가 작고, 충돌속도가 작을수록 큰 변형이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 충돌에너지는 외측강판과 내부 충진콘트리트가 6:4정도의 비율로 소산시키는 것으로 나타났다. 중복충돌해석에서는 2차 충돌체의 크기에 따라 최종충돌변형이 지배되는 것으로 나타났고 2차 충돌에 의한 변형량은 1차 충돌에 비하여 적은 값을 나타냈는데 이는 강판의 막거동 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 이격된 중복충돌에서는 이격위치와 관계없이 2차 충돌점에서 가장 큰 변형이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Vibration analysis in nanocomposite plate with smart layer is studied in this article. The plate is reinforced by carbon nanotubes where the Mori-Tanaka law is utilized for obtaining the effective characteristic of structure assuming agglomeration effects. The nanocomposite plate is located in elastic medium which is simulated by spring element. The motion equations are derived based on first order shear deformation theory and Hamilton's principle. Utilizing Navier method, the frequency of the structure is calculated and the effects of applied voltage, volume percent and agglomeration of Carbon nanotubes, elastic medium and geometrical parameters of structure are shown on the frequency of system. Results indicate that with applying negative voltage, the frequency of structure is increased. In addition, the agglomeration of carbon nanotubes reduces the frequency of the nanocomposite plate.

Hepatocytes, the major epithelial cells of the liver, maintain their morphology in culture dishes coated with extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin or biodegradable polymers (e.g. chitosan, gelatin). In these coated dishes, survival of cells and maintaining of liver-specific functions may increase. The aim of this study was to determine a suitable, cost-effective and simple system for hepatocyte isolation and culture which may be useful for various applications such as in vitro toxicology studies, hepatocyte transplantation and bioartificial liver (BAL) systems. In order to obtain primary cultures, hepatocytes were isolated from liver by an enzymatic method and cultured on plates coated with collagen, chitosan or gelatin. Collagen, gelatin-sandwich and gelatin-cell mixture methods were also evaluated. Morphology and attachment of the cells were observed by inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). An MTT assay was used to determine cell viability and mitochondrial activity.

본 연구에서는 카울 모듈의 성형 시 최적 설계 공정을 유한요소해석을 통해 도출하는 방안을 제시하였다. 소재 인장시험 및 성형성 평가와 같은 기계적 물성 평가를 통해 성형 해석의 주름 및 크랙 발생을 사전에 파악하고 이를 개선하기 위한 공정 설계 변경을 통해 최적 설계 방안을 도출하였다. 또한 제진성 향상이 필요한 카울 로워 패널에 패치워크를 적용을 통해 카울 모듈의 강성 증대 및 제진 특성 향상을 고유진동수 측정 시험과 해석을 통해 확인하였다. 해석 결과, 실러 패치워크 기술 적용에 따른 1차 고유진동수가 향상됨을 알 수 있었고, 이는 강성 및 제진특성 증대와 관련있다고 볼 수 있다. 실러 패치워크 적용 시 공정수 감소를 위해 성형 전 로워 패널 블랭크에 패치워크 블랭크를 점용접으로 접합시켜 성형하므로, 성형 후 패치워크 패널의 위치가 점용접 조건에 따라 달라진다. 이를 위해 점용접 위치에 따른 성형 해석을 실시하여 결과를 바탕으로 최적 공정 설계를 도출하였다. 스탬핑 공법을 이용한 타부품의 적용을 위해 성형 해석 기법을 구축하여 다양한 제품 설계에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

This study considers the instability behavior of sandwich plates considering magnetorheological (MR) fluid core and piezoelectric reinforced facesheets. As facesheets at the top and bottom of structure have piezoelectric properties they are subjected to 3D electric field therefore they can be used as actuator and sensor, respectively and in order to control the vibration responses and loss factor of the structure a proportional-derivative (PD) controller is applied. Furthermore, Halpin-Tsai model is used to determine the material properties of facesheets which are reinforced by graphene platelets (GPLs). Moreover, because the core has magnetic property, it is exposed to magnetic field. In addition, Kelvin-Voigt theory is applied to calculate the structural damping of the piezoelectric layers. In order to consider environmental forces applied to structure, the visco-Pasternak model is assumed. In order to consider the mechanical behavior of structure, sinusoidal shear deformation theory (SSDT) is assumed and Hamilton's principle according to piezoelasticity theory is employed to calculate motion equations and these equations are solved based on differential cubature method (DCM) to obtain the vibration and modal loss factor of the structure subsequently. The effect of different factors such as GPLs distribution, dimensions of structure, electro-magnetic field, damping of structure, viscoelastic environment and boundary conditions of the structure on the vibration and loss factor of the system are considered. In order to indicate the accuracy of the obtained results, the results are validated with other published work. It is concluded from results that exposing magnetic field to the MR fluid core has positive effect on the behavior of the system.
