In this study, in-situ static and dynamic tests of four pre-stressed concrete (PC) track beams with different span lengths and curvatures in a straddle monorail transit system were reported. In the static load tests, the strain and deflection at critical sections of the PC track beams were measured to determine the load bearing capacity and stiffness. The dynamic responses of strain, deflection, acceleration, and displacement at key positions of the PC track beams were measured under different train speeds and train loads to systematically study the dynamic behaviors of the PC track beams. A three-dimensional finite element model of the track beam-vehicle coupled vibration system was established to help understand the dynamic behavior of the system, and the model was verified using the test results. The research results show that the curvature, span length, train speed, and train loads have significant influence on the dynamic responses of the PC track beams. The dynamic performance of the PC track beams in the curve section is susceptible to dynamic loads. Appropriate train loads can effectively reduce the impact of the train on the PC track beam. The PC track beams allow good riding comfort.

암반구조물의 규모가 점차 대형화됨에 따라 암반이 자유면에 노출되는 확률이 높아지고 있으며, 최근 들어 지진이나 발파, 고속철도의 운행에 의한 진동 등으로 야기되는 동적 하중의 발생빈도가 증가하는 추세이므로 동적 하중조건 하에서 암반 불연속면의 거동 특성 파악을 위한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자유면에 노출된 블록의 동적 거동을 모사할 수 있도록 경사면 진동대 시험장비를 제작하였고, 다양한 동적 하중 조건하에서 편평한 화강암 절리면의 마찰 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 경사시험을 통해서 구한 한계 경사각과 진동하중 하에서의 임계가속도로부터 역산한 정적 마찰각을 비교한 결과 동하중 하에서 정적마찰각이 $4.5\~8.2^{\circ}$ 정도 낮게 산정되는 경향을 보였다. 이론적인 암석 블록의 마찰 거동을 표현하는 블록 거동 프로그램을 작성하고, 진동하중에 의해 미끄러지는 암석 블록의 가속도 및 변위 계측결과를 개발된 프로그램에 의한 결과와 비교하여 암석 절리면의 동적 마찰각을 산정하였는데 동적 마찰각 역시 한계 경사각에 비해 $2.0\~7.5^{\circ}$ 정도 감소하는 결과를 얻었다. 동하중 하에서 측정된 정적 마찰각과 동적 마찰각은 가해진 가속도의 크기나 진폭 등의 하중 특성과 기하조건에 따라 달라지는 경향을 보였다. 개별요소 프로그램을 이용하여 진동대 시험을 모사하였는데, 계측결과 및 개발된 프로그램에 의한 결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 진동대 시험에 의한 동적, 정적 마찰각은 직접전단시험에 의한 기본 마찰각보다 현저히 작게 산정되었다.

본 연구는 철도, 도시고속화도로 및 고속도로 교량의 교각으로 많이 이용디고 있는 철근콘크리트 기둥으 내진성능 평가에 관한 quasi-static 실험으로서 사용된 실험 변수는 축하중 내진설계유무에 따른 띠철근량 변위제어 하중형태 등을 채택하였다 RC 기둥시험체는 수원에 위치한 하갈교의 교각을 1/3.4의 축소모델로 하여 내진설계된 단면과 내진설계되지 않은 시험체를 각각 4개씩 총 8개를 제작하였으며 소성힌지구간에서 띠철근의 간격은 2.2cm 및 4.4cm 이다 실험변수에 따른 내진 및 비내진 시험체의 내진성능검토를 위하여 충진콘크리트 교각의 하중변위 이력특성 연성능력, 강도감소, 에너지 흡수능력, 등가점성계수 등을 실험적으로 분석조사하였다. '96년 개정된 도로교시방서의 RC기둥에 관한 내진설계기준은 AASHTO(1992)와 유사한 것으로서 중.약지진 지역으로 구분되는 국내의 실정에는 다소 과다설계로 판단된다. 실험결과 비내진설계된 콘크리트 교각도 어느 정도의 연성능력을 발휘한 것으로 조사되었으나 추가의 충분한 실험연구가 요구된다. 그러나 비내진설계교각도 적절한 내진보강방안을 강구한다면 우수한 내진성능을 발휘할수 있으리라판단된다.

In the present study, a series of physical experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of mode I and mixed-mode I/II cracks on the fracture modes and stability of roadway tunnel models. The experiments and simulations incorporated different inclination angle flaws under both static and dynamic loads. The quasi-static and dynamic testing were conducted by using an electro-hydraulic servo control device and drop weight impact system (DWIS), and the failure process was simulated by using rock failure process analysis (RFPA) and AUTODYN software. The stress intensity factor was also calculated to evaluate the stability of the flawed roadway tunnel models by using ABAQUS software. According to comparisons between the test and numerical results, it is observed that for flawed roadways with a single radical crack and inclination angle of 45°, the static and dynamic stability are the lowest relative to other angles of fractured rock masses. For mixed-mode I/II cracks in flawed roadway tunnel models under dynamic loading, a wing crack is produced and the pre-existing cracks increase the stress concentration factor in the right part of the specimen, but this factor will not be larger than the maximum principal stress region in the roadway tunnel models. Additionally, damage to the sidewalls will be involved in the flawed roadway tunnel models under static loads.

PURPOSES : In this paper, the applicability of DEM to a coarse graining method was evaluated by simulating a series of minicone tests for cement paste. METHODS : First, the fundamental physical quantities that are used in a static liquid bridge model were presented with three basic quantities based on the similarity principle and coarse graining method. Then, the scale factors and surface tensions for six different sizes of particles were determined using the relationship between the physical quantities and the basic quantities. Finally, the determined surface tensions and radii were utilized to simulate the fluidal behavior of cement paste under a minicone test condition, and the final shape of the cement paste with reference DEM particle radii was compared with the final shape of the others. RESULTS : The simulations with adjusted surface tensions for five different radii of particles and surface tension showed acceptable agreement with the simulation with regard to the reference size of the particle, although disagreement increases as the sizes of the particle radii increase. It seems reasonable to increase the particle radii by at least 0.196 cm considering the computational time reduction of 162 min. CONCLUSIONS : The coarse graining method based on the similarity principle is applicable for simulating the behavior of fluidal materials when the behavior of the materials can be described by a static liquid bridge model. However, the maximum particle radius should be suggested by considering not only the scale factor but also the relationship of the particle size and number with the radius of the curve of the boundary geometry.

Due to the scarcity of extortionate experimental data, fatigue failure of the reinforced concrete (RC) element might be achieved economically adopting nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis as an alternative approach. However, conventional implicit dynamic analysis is expensive, quasi-static method overlooks interaction effects and inertia, direct cyclic analysis computes stabilized responses. Apart from this, explicit dynamic analysis may provide a numerical operating system for factual long-term responses. The study explores the fatigue behavior based on a simplified explicit dynamic solution employing nonlinear time domain analysis. Among fourteen RC beams, one beam is selected to validate under static loading, one under fatigue with the experimental study and other twelve to check the detail fatigue behavior. The SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats) analysis has been carried out to pinpoint the detail scenario in the adoption of numerical approach as an alternative to the experimental study. Excellent agreement of FE and experimental results is seen. The 3D nonlinear RC beam model at service fatigue limits is truthful to be used as an expedient contrivance to envisage the precise fatigue behavior. The simplified analysis approach for RC beam under fatigue offers savings in computation to predict responses providing acceptable accuracy rather than the complicated laboratory investigation. At higher frequency, the flexural failure occurs a bit earlier gradually compared to the repeated loading case of lower frequency. The deflection increases by 6%-10% at the end of first cycle for beams with increasing frequency of cyclic loading. However, at the end of fatigue loading, greater deflection occur earlier for higher load range because of more rapid stiffness degradation. For higher frequency, a slight boost in concrete compressive strains at an initial stage of loading has been seen indicating somewhat stepper increment. Stiffness degradation in larger loading cycle at same duration escalates the upsurge of the rate of strain in case of higher frequency.

It is well known that SSCC (sulfide stress corrosion cracking) is caused by drastic ingression of hydrogen during the service and accumulation of hydrogen near the potential crack initiation site in the material. It is important to characterize the hydrogen trapping behavior to evaluate the service performance of the high strength pipeline steels. In this study. the relationship between the hydrogen trapping behavior and SSCC susceptibility is evaluated in terms of alloy composition, microstructure and carbide behavior. The hydrogen trapping behavior was measured by electrochemical hydrogen permeation test cell (Devanathan cell). The SSCC susceptibility is evaluated by constant extension rate test and constant strain lest method. The hydrogen trapping behavior is affected greatly by microstructure and nature of carbide particles. The fine TiC, and NbC in the matrix of ferritic structure acts as strong irreversible trap sites whereas the bainitic structure acts as reversible trap site. The SSCC susceptibility is closely related to not only the hydrogen trapping behavior but also the loading condition. As the activity of reversible trap site increases, SSCC susceptibility decreases under static loading condition below yield strength, whereas SSCC susceptibility increases under dynamic loading condition or above yield strength. As the activity of irreversible trap site increases. SSCC susceptibility increases regardless of loading condition. It is cased by the mixed effect of dislocation on hydrogen diffusion and trapping behavior.

In recent years, various digital characters, which are automatic and intelligent, are attempted with the introduction of artificial intelligence or artificial life. Since the style of a character's behavior is usually designed by a developer, the style is very static and simple. So such a simple pattern of the character cannot satisfy various users and easily makes them feel tedious. A game should maintain various and complex styles of a character's behavior, but it is very difficult for a developer to design various and complex behaviors of it. In this paper, we adopt the genetic algorithm to produce various and excellent behavior-styles of a character especially focusing on Robocode which is one of promising simulators for artificial intelligence.

Recently, due to demands of faster speed and extra features for the chip mounters, there has been ever-demanding needs for the basic technology. Until four or five years ago, chip mounters placing 0.3sec/chip were considered to be in the high speed category, but since then it has become a borderline for categorizing high speed machines capable of placing 0.1sec/chip. In this study, in order to analyze the vibration of head generated by the dynamic behavior of x-frame, FEM model is composed and modal analysis is performed to identify the dynamic characteristics of the structure. Those results are compared with the modal test in order to verify the model. In this paper, Several other factors, such as definition of dynamic accuracy, static accuracy and tolerance of the axis settling range, that might affect the dynamic behavior the head are discussed.

Recently, many researches have been done to examine the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) subjected to the static loading. However, a few studies have been devoted to cyclic behaviors of FRC. A main objective of this paper is to investigate the cyclic behavior of FRC through theoretical method. A new cyclic bridging model was proposed for the analysis of fiber reinforced cementitious composites under cyclic loading. In the model, non-uniform degradation of interfacial bonding under cyclic tension was considered. Fatigue test results for FRC were numerically simulated using proposed models and the proposed model is achieving better agreement than the previous model. Consequently, the model can establish a basis for analyzing cyclic behavior of fiber reinforced composites.
