The cylinder cover stud for assembling the combustion chamber components of low-speed marine diesel engine is one of the main structural components in engine. To understand the structural behavior of the stud is quite important for safe and economic design of it. In this paper, the structural behavior and design adequacy of the stud have been evaluated through strain measurement and structural analysis for the world's two largest engine types. Moreover, a feasibility study for design modification was carried out based on fatigue test and calculation. The results showed that 1) the stud experiences very high stress ratio under normal operating conditions, 2) the fatigue strength of the stud is sufficient, and 3) results from strain measurement and structural analysis were quite close each other.

In this paper, we propose the signal strength path loss model (modified Hata path loss Model) and the signal strength distribution model (log-normal distribution) for the cell design of the land mobile communication system. We applied the measured experimental data at Soosungdon and Sanjuckdong in Daeku, to this model and calculate the fraction of total area above threshold.

본 논문에서는 송전선로 도체의 경년열화(thermal deterioration)를 평가하기 위해 확률적 기법을 도입하였다. 선로의 경년열화를 나타내기 위해 선로의 장력(tensile strength) 감소를 계산하며 이는 해당 선로의 과거 전류 이력과 선로가 위치한 지역의 과거 기상데이터 및 부하량의 변화를 통해 산출한다 첫째로, 과거 데이터를 통해 확률분포를 구한 후 모든 데이터는 통계적으로 서로 간에 독립적이라는 가정 하에 Monte-Carlo Simulation을 수행하였다. 둘째로, 과거 데이터의 이력을 시간순서대로 추종하여 1시간 단위로 장력변화를 누적하는 순차적 계산(dynamic calculation)을 수행하였으며 그 결과를 MCS 기법과 비교하였다 주로 백분율로 표현하는 도체의 장력 감소분은 송전선로의 수명을 결정하는데 사용할 수 있는 중요한 지수이때, 계통계획에 있어서 유용한 기준으로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

Most of automobile member parts experience severe springback problems because of their complicated shape and high yielding strength. Now it becomes imperative to develop an effective method to resolve these problems. However, there remain several obstacles to get accurate estimation of dimensional shape. Especially the effective algorithms to simulate sheet metal forming processes including drawing, trimming, flanging and springback is demanded for the multi stage simulation of automobile member parts. In this study, for the purpose of accurate springback calculation, a simulation program which is robust in springback analysis is developed. Favorable enhancement in computation time for springback analysis by using latest equation solving technique and robust solution convergence by continuation method are achieved with the program. In analysis, the multi processes of rear side member are simulated to verify the system. For the evaluation of springback accuracy practically, all conditions including boundary conditions for springback analysis and inspection conditions for dimensional accuracy are applied. The springback results of simulations show good agreement with the experiments.

The problem of a concrete cross section under flexural and axial loading is indeterminate due to the existence of more unknowns than equations. Among the infinite solutions, it is possible to find the optimum, which is that of minimum reinforcement that satisfies certain design constraints (section ductility, minimum reinforcement area, etc.). This article proposes the automation of the optimum reinforcement calculation under any combination of flexural and axial loading. The procedure has been implemented in a program code that is attached in the Appendix. Conventional-strength or high-strength concrete may be chosen, minimum reinforcement area may be considered (it being possible to choose between the standards ACI 318 or Eurocode 2), and the neutral axis depth may be constrained in order to guarantee a certain sectional ductility. Some numerical examples are presented, drawing comparisons between the results obtained by ACI 318, EC 2 and the conventional method.

In this study, a support system is developed for the design of facility structures. This system is called Expert System for Design Optimization of Industrial Plant Structures (EDIPS). Based on the strength assessment of steel-plate structures such as ships and off-shore structures, a detailed load calculation method is developed utilizing the database of various plant structures. The method, developed in support of design and for the assessment of strength, constitutes a part of EDIPS. By providing relevant and consistent design data and procedures to engineers, EDIPS is expected to be useful as an important development tool for maritime distribution system that is used to control the transportation by ships and loading unloading, and storage of cargo.

Several experimental investigations have been carried out to study the behavior of reinforced concrete columns with short lap splices. However, very few analytical models have been developed for the analysis of such columns subjected to earthquakes. As nonlinear analysis procedures become more common in practice (such as those outlined in the Guidelines for Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the United States), the need for an accurate and reliable representation of the nonlinear response of strength degrading systems becomes more important. In this study, an analytical model for estimating the complete response of reinforced concrete columns with short lap splices is presented. The model is based on local bond stress-slip relationships and is validated against independent experimental data from cyclic loading tests on reinforced concrete columns with typical construction details of the 1960s. In this paper a simple equation for calculating the bar stress at splice failure is presented. Use of the proposed equation resulted in excellent agreement between the measured and calculated strength at splice failure.

A new Direct Nonlinear Strut-Tie Model design method performing iterative calculations using secant stiffness was developed. Since basically the proposed design method uses elastic analysis, it has the advantages of convenience and stability in numerical analysis. At the same time, the proposed design method can accurately estimate the strength and ductility demands on the members because it analyzes the inelastic behavior of structure using iterative calculation. In the present study, the procedure of the proposed design method was established, and a computer program incorporating the proposed method was developed. The proposed design method, as an integrated method of analysis and design, can address the earthquake design strategy devised by the engineer, such as ductility limit on each member. Through iterative calculations on the structure preliminary designed with member sizes, the strength and ductility demands of each member can be estimated so that they satisfy the given design strategy, and as the result economical and safe design is achieved.

This study presents an elasto-plastic (EP) solution for drained cavity expansion on the basis of unified strength failure criterion and considers the influence of initial stress state. Because of the influence of initial consolidation of soil mass, the initial stress may be anisotropic in the natural soil mass. In addition, the undrained hypothesis is usually used in the calculation of cavity expansion problem, but most of the cases are in the drained situation in practical engineering. Eventually, the published solution and the presented solution are compared to verify the suitability of the study.

The flexural strength and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete columns are largely dependent on the amount of transverse steel. However, current design code does not specify the confinement effect of transverse steels in strength calculation. A non-linear moment-curvature analysis of RC column sections was conducted in order to develop PM interaction diagram considering transverse reinforcement effects. In this paper, a more reasonable application method of PM interaction diagram considering transverse steel amounts is introduced and proposed, based on moment-curvature non-linear analysis. Also, we proposed simplified method to use. easily in practical design.
