Elastic and electromagnetic waves can be used to gather important information about particulate materials. To facilitate smart geophysical characterization of particulate materials, their fundamental properties are discussed and experimental procedures are presented for both elastic and electromagnetic waves. The first application is related to the characterization of particulate materials using shear waves, concentrating on changes in effective stress during consolidation, multi-phase phenomena with relation to capillarity, and microscale characteristics of particles. The second application involves electromagnetic waves, focusing on stratigraphy detection in layered soils, estimation of void ratio and its spatial distribution, and conduction in unsaturated soils. Experimental results suggest that shear waves allow studying particle contact phenomena and the evolution of interparticle forces, while electromagnetic waves give insight into the characteristics of the fluid phase and its spatial distribution.

This study deals with dynamic model of composite sandwich panels with functionally graded flexible cores under low velocity impacts of multiple large or small masses using a new improved higher order sandwich panel theory (IHSAPT). In-plane stresses were considered for the functionally graded core and face sheets. The formulation was based on the first order shear deformation theory for the composite face sheets and polynomial description of the displacement fields in the core that was based on the second Frostig's model. Fully dynamic effects of the functionally graded core and face-sheets were considered in this study. Impacts were assumed to occur simultaneously and normally over the top and/or bottom of the face-sheets with arbitrary different masses and initial velocities. The contact forces between the panel and impactors were treated as internal forces of the system. Nonlinear contact stiffness was linearized with a newly presented improved analytical method in this paper. The results were validated by comparing the analytical, numerical and experimental results published in the latest literature.

In recent years steel-concrete composite shear walls have been widely used in enormous high-rise buildings. Due to high strength and ductility, enhanced stiffness, stable cycle characteristics and large energy absorption, such walls can be adopted in the auxiliary building; surrounding the reactor containment structure of nuclear power plants to resist lateral forces induced by heavy winds and severe earthquakes. This paper demonstrates a set of nonlinear numerical studies on I-shaped composite steel-concrete shear walls of the nuclear power plants subjected to reverse cyclic loading. A three-dimensional finite element model is developed using ABAQUS by emphasizing on constitutive material modeling and element type to represent the real physical behavior of complex shear wall structures. The analysis escalates with parametric variation in steel thickness sandwiching the stipulated amount of concrete panels. Modeling details of structural components, contact conditions between steel and concrete, associated boundary conditions and constitutive relationships for the cyclic loading are explained. Later, the load versus displacement curves, peak load and ultimate strength values, hysteretic characteristics and deflection profiles are verified with experimental data. The convergence of the numerical outcomes has been discussed to conclude the remarks.

본 연구의 목적은 H-Pile과 벽체가 합성하여 거동하는 합성 지하벽의 내력 및 구조적 거동을 해석적으로 파악하고 구조성능을 평가하여 다양한 형태의 응력조건에 대한 거동예측 방법을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 유한요소 범용 프로그램인 ATENA를 이용하여 H-Pile, 콘크리트 벽체, 스터드볼트 연결부 등에 대한 모델링방법을 설정하고 기 실험된 합성지하벽 실험체들에 대한 비선형 해석을 실시하였다. H-Pile과 콘크리트 벽체를 연결하는 스터드볼트에 의해 전달되는 전단 및 축응력을 접촉면 요소로 모델링하여 비선형 해석을 실시한 결과, 비록 초기강성은 해석결과가 다소 높게 나타났지만, 실험결과와 해석결과가 좋은 대응을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

콘크리트 타설중, 콘크리트 타설경로로 인한 부분재하는 동바리의 연결부에 횡력을 발생시킨다. 이러한 횡력을 구속하기 위해 동바리의 상$.$하부 접합부가 못으로 긴결되어야 한다. 그러나 시공성과 동바리 철거의 편의성을 위해 작업자들은 못을 거의 사용하지 않는다. 이러한 경우 동바리의 접합부는 전단력과 회전에 저항할 수 없다. 그리고 이러한 상황은 거푸집-동바리 시스템의 붕괴를 유발시킬 것이다. 그러므로 시공현장의 상황을 고려한다면 거푸집-동바리 시스템의 접합부 해석을 위해 접촉모델 및 스프링모델이 요구된다. 이에 따라 동바리에서의 접합부의 몇가지 유형에 따른 전단강성과 회전강성의 효과를 이해할 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 못의 길이, 개수, 위치의 변수에 따라 동바리의 연결부의 회전강성값과 전단강성값을 실험을 통해 평가하고자 하며 동바리의 지지단에 따른 결과를 보여준다. 그리고 이러한 결과는 실제 상황과 유사한 스프링모델 설정 및 좌굴하중 평가에 사용될 수 있다.

In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of a star type epicyclic gear train have been analyzed. Nonlinear stiffness of a gear pair were obtained considering the bending and shear deformation, Hertz contact deformation, as well as tooth fillet deformation. Nonlinear stiffness coefficients and damping coefficients around the static equilibrium position were obtained by perturbation method. The loci of the planet gears and sun gear were estimated. Tooth meshing forces and bearing reaction forces were calculated. The effects of bearing clearance and oil viscosity on the gear behavior were also analyzed.

Postbuckling of thick plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to in-plane compressive, thermal and thermomechanical loads is investigated in this work. It is assumed that the plate is in contact with a Pasternak-type elastic foundation during deformation. Thermomechanical non-homogeneous properties are considered to be temperature independent, and graded smoothly by the distribution of power law across the thickness in the thickness in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. By employing the higher order shear deformation plate theory together the non-linear von-Karman strain-displacement relations, the equilibrium and compatibility equations of imperfect FGM plates are derived. The Galerkin technique is used to determine the buckling loads and postbuckling equilibrium paths for simply supported plates. Numerical examples are presented to show the influences of power law index, foundation stiffness and imperfection on the buckling and postbuckling loading capacity of the plates.

The objective of this study is to investigate the distribution of von Mises stress, peeling stress, and shear stress in the adhesive layer used to bond two composite panels, considering various parameters using a three-dimensional finite element method. The stiffness of the materials and the effect of the stacking order on the amount of load transferred to the adhesive layer were examined to determine which type of laminate generates less stress at the bond line. The study analyzed six different stacking sequences, all with a common first layer in contact with the adhesive and a 0° orientation. Additionally, the impact of using hybrid composites on reducing bond line stress was investigated.

A mathematical model and its analytic solution for the analysis of stress-strain state of a linear elastic two-layer beam is presented. The model considers both slip and uplift at the interface. The solution is employed in assessing the effects of transverse and shear contact stiffnesses and the thickness of the interface layer on behaviour of nailed, two-layer timber beams. The analysis shows that the transverse contact stiffness and the thickness of the interface layer have only a minor influence on the stress-strain state in the beam and can safely be neglected in a serviceability limit state design.

In a domestic, HSR-350x which has the maximum speed 350km/h was developed and then next, the next generation high speed train which has the maximum speed 400km/h has still been developing. With developing the next generation high speed railway, there need to be a general plan to make sure of dynamic safety though the a study on the crack and failure of rail by rolling contact fatigue. Therefore, this study investigated occurring stress of rail according to the track quality, train velocity, wheel radius, track stiffness, distance between sleepers, axial force using Eisenmann's equations. For the more, via the finite element method, it investigated shear force on the rail head which could be changed by the early crack length, angle and temperature. As a result, this study confirmed the main elements which effect on the fatigue life cycle of rail.
