In order to determine the mechanical behavior of the curved laminates in practical applications, three right-angled composite brackets with different lay-ups were investigated both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental, quasi-static tests on both unidirectional and multidirectional curved composite brackets were conducted to study the progressive failure and failure modes of the curved laminates. In the numerical modeling, three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to simulate the mechanical behavior of the laminates. Here, a strength-based failure criterion, namely the Ye criterion, was used to predict the delamination failure in the composite curved laminates. The mechanical responses of the laminate subjected to off-axis tensile loading were analyzed, which include the progressive failure, the failure locations, the load-displacement relationships, the load-strain relationships, and the stress distribution around the curved region of the angled bracket. Subsequently, the effects of stacking sequence and thickness on the load carrying capacity and the stiffness of the laminates were discussed in detail. Through the experimental observation and analysis, it was found that the failure mode of all the specimens is delamination, which is initiated abruptly and develops unstably on the symmetric plane, close to the inner surface, and about $29^{\circ}$ along the circumferential direction. It was also found that the stacking sequence and the thickness have significant influences on both the load carrying capacity and the stiffness of the laminates. However, the thickness effect is less than that on the curved aluminum plate.

For the evaluation of the capability of a tubular member of an offshore structure to absorb the collision energy, a simple method can be employed for the collision analysis without performing the detailed analysis. The most common simple method is the rigid-plastic method. However, in this method any characteristics for horizontal movement and rotation at the ends of the corresponding tubular member are not included. In a real structural system of an offshore structure, tubular members sustain a certain degree of elastic support from the adjacent structure. End fixity has influences in the behaviors of a tubular member. Three-dimensional FEM analysis can include the effect of end fixity fully, however in viewpoints of the inherent computational complexities of the 3-D approach, this is not the recommendable analysis at the initial design stage. In this paper, influence of end fixity on the behaviors of a tubular member is investigated, through a new approach and other approaches. A new analysis approach that includes the flexibility of the boundary points of the member is developed here. The flexibility at the ends of a tubular element is extracted using the rational reduction of the modeling characteristics. The property reduction is based on the static condensation of the related global stiffness matrix of a model to end nodal points of the tubular element. The load-displacement relation at the collision point of the tubular member with and without the end flexibility is obtained and compared. The new method lies between the rigid-plastic method and the 3-demensional analysis. It is self-evident that the rigid-plastic method gives high strengthening membrane effect of the member during global deformation, resulting in a steeper slope than the present method. On the while, full 3-D analysis gives less strengthening membrane effect on the member, resulting in a slow going load-displacement curve. Comparison of the load-displacement curves by the new approach with those by conventional methods gives the figures of the influence of end fixity on post-yielding behaviors of the relevant tubular member. One of the main contributions of this investigation is the development of an analytical rational procedure to figure out the post-yielding behaviors of a tubular member in offshore structures.

Several in-situ testing methods of adhesively bonded joints under static short-time tensile loading are critically analyzed in terms of experimental procedure and data evaluation. Due to its rather homogeneous stress state across the glue line, the tensile-shear test with thick single-lap specimens, according to ISO 11003-2, has become the most important test process for the determination of realistic materials parameters. This basic method, which was improved in both, the experimental part by stepped adherends and easily attachable extensometers and the evaluation procedure by numeric substrate deformation correction and test simulation based on the finite element method (FEM), is therefore demonstrated by application to several kinds of adhesives and metallic adherends. Multi-axial load decreases the strength of a joint. This effect, which is illustrated by an experimental comparison, impedes the derivation of realistic mechanical characteristics from measured force-displacement curves. It is shown by numeric modeling that tensile-shear tests with thin plate substrates according to ISO 4587, which are widely used for quick industrial quality assurance, reveal an inhomogeneous stress state, especially because of relatively large adherend deformation. Complete experimental determination of the elastic properties of bonded joints requires independent measurement of at least two characteristics. As the thick-adherend tensile-shear test directly yields the shear modulus, the tensile butt-joint test according to ISO 6922 represents the most obvious complement of the test programme. Thus, validity of analytical correction formulae proposed in literature for the derivation of realistic materials characteristics is verified by numeric simulation. Moreover, the influence of the substrate deformation is examined and a FEM correction method introduced.

This paper presents the details of Finite Element (FE) analysis carried out to determine the limiting deformation capacity and failure mode of Laced Steel-Concrete Composite (LSCC) beam, which was proposed and experimentally studied by the authors earlier (Anandavalli et al. 2012). The present study attains significance due to the fact that LSCC beam is found to possess very high deformation capacity at which range, the conventional laboratory experiments are not capable to perform. FE model combining solid, shell and link elements is adopted for modeling the beam geometry and compatible nonlinear material models are employed in the analysis. Besides these, an interface model is also included to appropriately account for the interaction between concrete and steel elements. As the study aims to quantify the limiting deformation capacity and failure mode of the beam, a suitable damage model is made use of in the analysis. The FE model and results of nonlinear static analysis are validated by comparing with the load-deformation response available from experiment. After validation, the analysis is continued to establish the limiting deformation capacity of the beam, which is assumed to synchronise with tensile strain in bottom cover plate reaching the corresponding ultimate value. The results so found indicate about $20^{\circ}$ support rotation for LSCC beam with $45^{\circ}$ lacing. Results of parametric study indicate that the limiting capacity of the LSCC beam is more influenced by the lacing angle and thickness of the cover plate.

교량 구조물 거동의 건전성 평가는 하중재하-처짐의 정적특성과 충격계수와 고유진동수 등의 동적특성으로 평가하는 것이 일반적이며, 이를 수치해석적 방법으로 비교 분석하는 것이 합리적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 사용하중에 대한 거동은 탄성영역에서 이루어지므로 실물구조체와 수치해석의 결과는 일체성을 보이지만, 동적특성의 경우 특히, 진동학적 분석에 있어서는 구조물의 기하형상과 사용재료의 이질성에 기인하여 실물 구조체의 결과와 다소 차이를 보인다. 이러한 오차를 수렴시키기 위하여 본 연구는 실물 모형체의 실험결과를 바탕으로 다양한 수치해석적 모델을 제시하고 그 예민도를 분석함으로써, 교량 구조물 평가를 위한 실용적인 모델링 기법을 도출하여 안정적인 예비 해석 결과를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 긴장재를 환산단면으로 치환한 모델을 기반으로 긴장재의 탄성적 특성을 반영한 모델과 수정된 탄성계수를 적용한 모델의 고유진동수가 실물 모형체의 그것과 가장 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

농용 트랙터는 일반적인 도로 주행이 아닌 논 또는 밭과 같은 험지에서 작업용으로 사용한다. 때문에 정적 하중 뿐만 아니라 동적 하중이 고려된 구조 해석이 진행되어야 한다. 하지만 동적 입력 하중을 계산하기 위해서는 다양한 작업기와 하중조건을 모사해야 하기에 실제 측정에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 이러한 노력들을 줄이기 위해서 본 연구에서는 상용 자동차와 동일하게 농용 트랙터를 위한 4 축 도로하중 시뮬레이터(4-Post Road Simulator) 모델을 개발하였다. 입력하중을 검증하기 위해 사내 험로 시험장에서 차축의 가속도 값과 바디프레임의 변형률(strain)을 측정하였다. 가속도 값은 동역학 모델의 입력 하중으로 사용하고 모드 중첩 법을 포함한 동역학 해석을 수행하여 변형률을 검증하였다. 이를 통해 험로 프로파일과 유사한 거동을 나타내는 4 축 도로하중을 구할 수 있었으며 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

In this study, product design and prototype manufacturing of a plastic water-pump pulley has been tried. The designed model is supposed to be made of 33 % glass reinforced resin of which the tensile strength is 180 MPa, and has 24 ribs on each side to increase its structural strength. Structural analysis under a static load of 300 kgf acting on both edges of the belt has been carried out using a commercial finite element code, MARC. The analysis result showed the maximum effective stress near a rib of designed model would be at most 35 MPa (less than 20% of the tensile strength), therefore, the plastic product would be sufficiently safe under that loading condition. On the basis of the structural analysis, a prototype of the designed model has been manufactured by using the fused deposition modelling (FDM) method which is one of the rapid prototyping (RP) methods, using ABS resin and support materials. The CAD data exported to the RP system in STL format was prepared by a commercial solid modeling software, SolidWorks. It has been proved that the plastic pulley can successfully replace the existing flow-formed steel product.

This paper presents the crack effect on CIP anchors and prediction of tensile capacity, as governed by concrete cone failure. Single anchors where located at center of concrete specimen. Three different types of cracks such as crack width of 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm, crack depth of 10 cm and 20cm , and crack location of center and off-center point were simulated. Static tensile load was applied to 7/8-in. CIP anchors of 10 cm and 20 cm embedment length in concrete with compressive strength of 280 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Tested pullout capacities were compared to the values determined using current design methods (such as ACI 349-97, ACI 349 revision and CEB-FIP which is based on CCD Method). The comparison of CCD Method and ACI revision showed almost the same values in uncracked concrete specimen. In cracked concrete, CCD Method predicted conservative values. Three-dimensional non-linear FEM modeling also has been performed to determine the stresses distribution and crack inclination.

본 논문에서는 이에 대체하는 방법으로써 전달 매트릭스 방법을 들수 있는데, 선형 진동계 해석에 있어 이 방법의 효용은 많은 논문을 통해 실증된 바이다. 특히 저어널 베어링의 댐핑효과는 크고 또한 운전회전속도에서 선형화된 스프링 및 댐핑계 수들이 수평 및 수직방향으로 연성되어 있어 전달 매트릭스 방법의 적용이 이상적이다. 회전축계의 진동 해석에 있어 낮은 공진회전수와 안정한계회전수, 즉 시스템 댐핑이 영이 되는 점을 규명하는 것이 실제에서 중요하므로 낮은 고유 진동수만을 구하면 되 는데, 이를 위하여 수치해석의 기법을 타 각도로 연구 검토할 필요가 있다.
