This study was carried out to evaluate structural stability of the suspended plastic pedal used in vehicles and to predict its fatigue life with the results obtained from finite element analysis. And also shape optimization was performed to reduce its weight. Structural analysis of the suspended plastic pedal was based on the evaluation tests such as static test, stiffness test, and fatigue test in the actual field, which were frequently carried out in the companies manufacturing plastic pedals. The evaluation for the plastic pedal was carried out by structural and fatigue analyses using a commercial FEA program and according to it, maximum stress and strain and fatigue life of the pedal satisfied all the requirements in the evaluation tests. The results of structural analysis of the suspended plastic pedal were used in the fatigue analysis. Fatigue test was performed to verify validity of the theoretical fatigue life of the plastic pedal. And the life by theoretical calculation was in good agreement with that by the experiment. Object function for optimizing shape of the plastic pedal is its volume, and total volume of the plastic pedal was reduced to about 11.7% through shape optimization.

Two stroke low speed diesel engines are widely used for marine propulsion or as power plant prime mover. These engines have many merits which includes higher thermal efficiency, mobility and durability. Yet various annoying vibrations occur sometimes in ships or at the plant itself. Of these vibrations, torsional vibration is very important and dictates a careful investigation during the engme's initial design stage for safe operation. With the rule and limit on torsional vibration in place, shaft strength fatigue due to torsional vibration however demands further analysis which possibly can be incorporated in the classification societies' rule and limit. In addition, the shaft's torsional vibration stresses can be calculated equivalently from accumulated fatigue cycles number due to transient torsional vibration in time domain. In this paper, authors suggest a new estimation method combined with Palmgren-Miner equation. A 6S70MC-C ($25,320ps{\times}91rpm$) engine for ship propulsion was selected as a case study. Angular velocity was measured, instead of shaft's strain, for simplified measurement and it was converted to torsional vibration stress for accumulated fatigue cycle numbers in shafting life time. Likewise, the accumulated fatigue calculation was compared with shaft fatigue strength limit. This new method can be further realized and confirmed in ship with two stroke low speed diesel engine.

A simple and effective analysis method is presented for gaining a complete transient temperatures on the internal and external surfaces of a 40 mm gun tube subjected to a series of rapid firings. Two series of temperature data for both Hs and As were measured by using two rapid response k-type surface thermocouples near the firing origin and the muzzle. With other available temperature data, patterns of temperature variations of the gun tube as a function of time variable were driven through complete evaluations of the data. It is found that overall temperature gradients which increase exponentially toward saturation temperature, actually consist of a series of linear temperature gradients corresponding to the firing sequences. Under the similar firing sequences, patterns of temperature variations fur both the surface temperatures near the chamber and those near the muzzle were found to have linear temperature gradients with different values and the same response frequencies, i.e. they had peaks and lows in temperatures at the same time. The resultant complete temperature data can be used as the fundamental bases for analysis of thermoelastic properties of the materials such as thermal strain and stress, and f3r the prediction of cannon tube life-time through calculation of wear rate.

Since its invention in the $19^{th}$ century, Reinforced Concrete (RC) has been widely used in the construction of a lot of different structures, as buildings, bridges, nuclear central plants, or even ships. The details of the mechanical response for this kind of structures depends directly upon the material behavior of each component: concrete and steel, as well as their interaction through the bond-slip, which makes a rigorous engineering analysis of RC structures quite complicated. Consequently, the practical calculation of RC structures is done by adopting a lot of simplifications and hypotheses validated in the elastic range. Nevertheless, as soon as any RC structural element is working in the inelastic range, it is possible to obtain the numerical prediction of its realistic behavior only through the use of non linear analysis. The aim of this work is to develop a new kind of Finite Element: the "Enhanced Solid Element (ESE)" which takes into account the complex composition of reinforced concrete, being able to handle each dissipative material behavior and their different deformations, and on the other hand, conserving a simplified shape for engineering applications. Based on the recent XFEM developments, we introduce the concept of nodal enrichment to represent kinematics of steel rebars as well as bonding. This enrichment allows to reproduce the strain incompatibility between concrete and steel that occurs because of the bond degradation and slip. This formulation was tested with a couple of simple examples and compared to the results obtained from other standard formulations.

This paper presents experiment and bearing capacity analyses of steel dual-lintel column (SDC) joints in Chinese traditional style buildings. Two SDC interior joints and two SDC exterior joints, which consisted of dual box-section lintels, circular column and square column, were designed and tested under low cyclic loading. The force transferring mechanisms at the panel zone of SDC joints were proposed. And also, the load-strain curves at the panel zone, failure modes, hysteretic loops and skeleton curves of the joints were analyzed. It is shown that the typical failure modes of the joints are shear buckling at bottom panel zone, bending failure at middle panel zone, welds fracturing at the panel zone, and tension failure of base metal in the heat-affected zone of the joints. The ultimate bearing capacity of SDC joints appears to decrease with the increment of axial compression ratio. However, the bearing capacities of exterior joints are lower than those of interior joints at the same axial compression ratio. In order to predict the formulas of the bending capacity at the middle panel zone and the shear capacity at the bottom panel zone, the calculation model and the stress state of the element at the panel zone of SDC joints were studied. As the calculated values showed good agreements with the test results, the proposed formulas can be reliably applied to the analysis and design of SDC joints in Chinese traditional style buildings.

The bearing mechanism of tunnel-type anchorage (TTA) for suspension bridges is studied. Model tests are conducted using different shapes of plug bodies, which are circular column shape and circular truncated cone shape. The results show that the plug body of the latter shape possesses much larger bearing capacity, namely 4.48 times at elastic deformation stage and 4.54 times at failure stage compared to the former shape. Numerical simulation is then conducted to understand the mechanical and structural responses of plug body and surrounding rock mass. The mechanical parameters of the surrounding rock mass are firstly back-analyzed based on the monitoring data. The calculation laws of deformation and equivalent plastic strain show that the numerical simulation results are rational and provide subsequent mechanism analysis with an established basis. Afterwards, the bearing mechanism of TTA is studied. It is concluded that the plug body of circular truncated cone shape is able to take advantage of the material strength of the surrounding rock mass, which greatly enhances its bearing capacity. The ultimate bearing capacity of TTA, therefore, is concluded to be determined by the material strength of surrounding rock mass. Finally, recommendations for TTA design are proposed and discussed.

지반의 대표적 동적 물성치중 하나인 감쇠비를 구하기 위한 여러 이론적 비선형모델이 개발되어 왔으나 실제 측정된 감쇠비를 정확히 예측하기는 불가능하다. 공진주/비틂전단 시험기는 미소변형율에서 중간변형율까지 흙의 동적 거동을 표현하는데 자주 이용되어 왔다. 공진주/비틂전단 시험기의 단점중의 하나는 측정된 감쇠비에 상응하는 변형율 산정법이 복잡하다는 것이다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 수정쌍곡선 모델과 Ramberg-Osgood모델을 사용하여 수정등가반경법을 도입하여 보다 정확한 변형율을 계산하였다. 유타지역에서 채취된 시료를 이용하여 공진주/비틂전단 시험기로 측정된 비틂력-비틂각을 이론적 비틂력-비틂각과 비교하고, 맞춤곡선법을 사용하여 각 비선형모델의 매개변수를 구하였으며 적합모델별 매개변수에서의 등가반경을 산정하였다.

준설토지반은 보통 연약지반에 비해 상당히 큰 압밀침하가 발생하기 때문에 압밀과정 중 층 두께의 변화가 크다. Mikasa는 층 두께의 변화를 고려하는 더욱 합리적인 압밀계산법을 연구 발표하였으나 아직 국내 현장에서 많이 활용되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 100%, 120%, 133%, 150%의 함수비를 갖는 준설토 지반에 대해 Rowe cell 압밀시험기를 이용한 시험을 수행하여 준설토의 압밀특성을 분석하였으며, 층 두께의 변화를 고려하지 않는 경우와 층 두께의 변화를 고려하는 경우 각각 압밀계수를 구하여 비교하였다. 또한 실제 현장 예를 상정하여 압밀기간을 구하여 보았는데, 그 결과 압밀기간은 층 두께의 변화를 고려한 Mikasa 이론의 경우가 그렇지 않은 Terzaghi이론의 경우보다 짧게 산정되었다. 그리고, 더욱 정확한 결과를 주는 Mikasa이론이 실용적으로 이용될 수 있도록 압밀계산법에 대해 자세히 언급하였다.

본 논문에서는 복합재료 IM rod가 적용된 골절부의 세포 분화과정을 모사하기 위해 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 세포의 골화과정을 해석하기 위해 편향 변형률을 이용한 메카노 규제 이론을 사용하였으며, 반복 계산을 위해 Python 코드를 이용하여 서브루틴을 구현하였다. 치료에 가장 적절한 복합재료 IM rod의 강성을 찾기 위해 직물 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료 (WSN3k)의 적층각도를 바꾸어 해석을 실시하였다. 골절부에 가해지는 기계적 자극에 따른 치료효율을 비교하기 위해 두 가지 초기 하중 조건을 적용하였다. 그 결과 치료효율은 강성의 차이보다 하중에 의해 큰 영향을 받았으며, 초기 하중이 몸무게의 10%이고, 적층순서가 $[{\pm}45]_{nT}$일 때 치료효율이 가장 높았다.
