An analytical model with tension softening for the prediction of the capacity of prestressed concrete beams under pure torsion and under torsion combined with shear and flexure is introduced. The proposed approach employs bilinear stress-strain relationship with post cracking tension softening branch for the concrete in tension and special failure criteria for biaxial stress states. Further, for the solution of the governing equations a special numerical scheme is adopted which can be applied to elements with practically any cross-section since it utilizes a numerical mapping. The proposed method is mainly applied to plain prestressed concrete elements, but is also applicable to prestressed concrete beams with light transverse reinforcement. The aim of the present work is twofold; first, the validation of the approach by comparison between experimental results and analytical predictions and second, a parametrical study of the influence of concentric and eccentric prestressing on the torsional capacity of concrete elements and the interaction between torsion and shear for various levels of prestressing. The results of this investigation presented in the form of interaction curves, are compared to experimental results and code provisions.

It is well known that the fine bainitic microstructure obtained by TMCP(thermo-mechanical control process) secures the high toughness of base metal. Besides, TMCP steel is very suitable for high heat input in welding as it has low carbon equivalent. In HAZ, however, the accelerated cooling effect imparted on the matrix by the weld thermal cycles is relieved and thus the weldment of TMCP steel has softening zone which shows low fracture toughness compared with base metal. Therefore, PHWT of weldment is carried out to improve the fracture toughness in weldment of TMCP steel which has softening zone. In this study, the effects of PWHT on the weldment of AH36-TMCP steel are investigated by the small punch (SP) test. From the several results such as SP energy and displacement at room temperature, the behavior of transition curves, the fracture strength at -196$^{\circ}C$, distribution of (DBTT)sp and (DBTT)sp, the PWHT condition of A.C. after 85$0^{\circ}C$-1 sec W.C. was suitable condition for recovering a softening zone of HAZ as welded.

This paper presents an elasto-plastic model for determination of the ground response curve of a circular underwater tunnel excavated in elastic-strain softening rock mass compatible with a nonlinear Hoek-Brown yield criterion. The finite difference method (FDM) was used to propose a new solution to calculate pore water pressure, stress, and strain distributions on periphery of circular tunnels in axisymmetric and plain strain conditions. In the proposed solution, a modified non-radial flow pattern, for the hydraulic analysis, is utilized. To evaluate the effect of gravitational loads and variations of pore water pressure, the equations concerning different directions around the tunnel (crown, wall, and floor) are derived. Regarding the strain-softening behavior of the rock mass, the stepwise method is executed for the plastic zone in which parameters of strength, dilatancy, stresses, strains, and deformation are different from their elasto-plastic boundary values as compared to the tunnel boundary values. Besides, the analytical equations are developed for the elastic zone. The accuracy and application of the proposed method is demonstrated by a number of examples. The results present the effects of seepage body forces, gravitational loads and dilatancy angle on ground response curve appropriately.

In this study, a simple numerical approach for a circular tunnel opening in strain-softening surrounding rock is proposed considering out-of-plane stress and seepage force based on Biot's effective stress principle. The plastic region of strain-softening surrounding rock was divided into a finite number of concentric rings, of which the thickness was determined by the internal equilibrium equation. The increments of stress and strain for each ring, starting from the elastic-plastic interface, were obtained by successively incorporating the effect of out-of-plane stress and Biot's effective stress principle. The initial value of the outmost ring was determined using equilibrium and compatibility equations. Based on the Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) and generalized Hoek-Brown (H-B) failure criteria, the stress-increment approach for solving stress, displacement, and plastic radius was improved by considering the effects of Biot's effective stress principle and the nonlinear degradation of strength and deformation parameters in plastic zone incorporating out-of-plane stress. The correctness of the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulation.

Over the past years techniques for non-linear analysis have been enhanced significantly via improved solution procedures, extended finite element techniques and increased robustness of constitutive models. Nevertheless, problems remain, especially for real world structures of softening materials like concrete. The softening gives negative stiffness and risk of bifurcations due to multiple cracks that compete to survive. Incremental-iterative techniques have difficulties in selecting and handling the local peaks and snap-backs. In this contribution, an alternative method is proposed. The softening diagram of negative slope is replaced by a saw-tooth diagram of positive slopes. The incremental-iterative Newton method is replaced by a series of linear analyses using a special scaling technique with subsequent stiffness/strength reduction per critical element. It is shown that this event-by-event strategy is robust and reliable. First, the model is shown to be objective with respect to mesh refinement. Next, the example of a large-scale dog-bone specimen in direct tension is analyzed using an isotropic version of the saw-tooth model. The model is capable of automatically providing the snap-back response. Subsequently, the saw-tooth model is extended to include anisotropy for fixed crack directions to accommodate both tensile cracking and compression strut action for reinforced concrete. Three different reinforced concrete structures are analyzed, a tension-pull specimen, a slender beam and a slab. In all cases, the model naturally provides the local peaks and snap-backs associated with the subsequent development of primary cracks starting from the rebar. The secant saw-tooth stiffness is always positive and the analysis always 'converges'. Bifurcations are prevented due to the scaling technique.

도심지 지하 터널은 주변 구조물의 존재 하에서 미고결성 저토피고 지반에 건설되는 경우가 많기 때문에 일반 산악 터널이나 대심도 암반층에 건설되는 지하공동과는 달리 터널 주변의 지반 변위, 지표면 침하와 기울기가 터널 설계의 주요인자가 된다. 본 논문은 도심지 NATM 터널의 변형거동에 대한 합리적 해석 방법의 확립을 위한 연구로서 변형률 연화 모델을 이용한 수치해석적인 방법을 통하여 굴착에 따른 지반 평가와 거동 예측을 수행하였다. 적용되어진 변형률 연화모델은 지반이 항복후 전단변형률의 증가에 따른 전단강성와 강도정수의 저하를 고려한 것이다. 현장 계측 결과는 시공중 설계물성치의 재설정에 이용되어졌다. 연화모델의 결과와 현장 계측값과의 비교에서 적용되어진 모델이 지표 침하, 기울기, 지중 침하 및 지중 수평변위의 변형 양상을 어느 정도 재현될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안된 모델을 토대로 시공조건이 엄밀한 도심지 터널의 변형거동에 정량적인 평가 및 예측이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The use of ultra high strength steels (UTSS) is a natural result with increasing the demands for the lightweight materials and developing an innovative steel technology. Recently it has been used a 1500MPa grade hot stamping steel as automobile bodies, reinforcement parts, and seat frame parts in the automotive industry. It is a quenchenable steel manufactured by hot stamping process. It is well known that UTSS welding has softening in the heat affected zone(HAZ). Because welding is a sort of process applying heat, it should change the heat treated features and degrade the strength. This study was performed to investigate the influence of the heat input on the softening of the HAZ in the GMAW process. Each experiment was compared with that in the conditions having a different current and voltage at a same heat input. In order to analysis characteristics of the HAZ, optical microscope was used to observe microstructure and vickers hardness tests were carried out across the welds. Applying low heat input means a fast cooling rate. It leads to high hardness in the HAZ. It is found that characteristics of the HAZ are determined by microstructure obtained by different cooling rate.

반도체를 보호하기 위하여 사용하는 반도체 성형 재료로, 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 Epoxy Molding Compound(EMI)의 주성분인 올소 크레졸 노볼락 에폭시 수지의 특성과 성형 재료의 관계를 조사하기 위하여 올소 크레졸 노볼락 에폭시 수지의 분자량과 깊은 관련이 있는 수지의 연화점 변화에 따른 EMC의 물성변화를 살펴보았다. 사용된 epoxy 수지의 연화점은 각각 65.1$^{\circ}C$, 72.2$^{\circ}C$, 83.0$^{\circ}C$ 인 3종을 사용하였으며 연화점 변화에 따른 EMC의 물성변화를 살펴보기 위하여 기계적 물성으로 굴곡 강도와 굴곡탄성율을, 열적 특성 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 열팽창 계수와 열전도도 그리고 유리 전이온도를 각각 측정하였다. 그리고 성형 특성과의 관계를 살펴보기 위하여 스피랄 플로우(Spiral Flow)를 측정하였다, 연화점이 증가함에 따라 굴곡 탄성율과 유리상에서의 열팽창 계수(${\alpha}_1$), 그리고 열전도도는 거의 변화가 없었으나 유리전이온도는 연화점 증가에 따라 증가함을, 스피랄 플로우는 연화점 증가에 따라 감소함을 보여주었다. 이는 에폭시 수지의 분자량이 증가함에 따라 가교밀도가 증가하는 현상에 기인한다고 판단된다. 고무상에서의 여팽창 계수(${\alpha}_2$)와 굴곡강도의 경우는 전이점을 보여주고 있는데, 이는 수지점도 증가에 따른 충전제의 분산성에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

Recently the use of ultra high strength steels (UHSS) in structural and safety component is rapidly increasing in the automotive industry. For example, 1.5GPa grade hot stamping with die-quenching of boron steel 22MnB5 could apply crash-resistant parts such as bumpers and pillars. The development of laser welding process of hot stamping steels, fundamental bead-on-plate welding and lap joint welding test were carried out using 3kW Nd:YAG laser. Local hardening & HAZ softening occurred in hot stamping steel as a result of metallurgical change caused by the welding heat input in the Nd:YAG laser welding process. The size of soft zones in the hot stamping steel was related to the welding heat input, being smaller at high speeds which generated a smaller heat input. Also in the case of lap joint design structure, same welded characteristics were shown. The HAZ softening degree was controlled to ensure the joint strength.
