곡선거더교의 설계에서 I형 병렬, 1박스, 2박스의 거더 형태의 교량은 휨과 비틀림을 동시에 발생함으로 그 응력은 매우 복잡하다. 일반적으로 비틀림은 순수 비틀림과 휨 비틀림으로 구성되어 있으므로 곡선거더교의 발생되는 응력들을 결정하는 절차는 매우 어렵다. 전달행렬법은 이론적인 배경과 적용이 매우 쉬운 장점 때문에 구조해석 분야에서 많이 사용되고 있으며, 유한차분법과 비교하여 신뢰성을 검증하여 좋은 결과를 얻었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 I형 병렬 곡선교, 1박스거더 곡선교, 2박스 거더 곡선교에 대한 비틀림 정수비와 비틀림 의한 비틀림 응력비 사이 관계를 비교 검토하여 휨 비틀림에 의한 응력해석을 생략할 수 있는 비틀림 정수비의 한계 값을 분석하였다.

Determination of stress-strain relationship in torsional tests is complicated due to nonuniform stress-strain variation occurring linearly with the radius in a soil specimen in torsion. The equivalent radius approach is adequate when calculating strain at low to intermediate strains, however, the approach is less accurate when performing the test at higher strain levels. The modified equivalent radius approach was developed to account for the problem more precisely. This approach was extended to generate the plots of equivalent radius ratio versus strain using modified hyperbolic and Ramberg-Osgood models. Results showed the effects of soil nonlinearity on the equivalent radius ratio curves were observed. Curve fitting was also performed to find the stress-strain relationship by fitting the theoretical torque-rotation relationship to measured torque-rotation relationship.

In a previous study, design charts where proposed to help the torsional design of axially restricted reinforced concrete (RC) beams with squared cross section. In this article, new design charts are proposed to cover RC beams with rectangular cross section. The influence of the height to width ratio of the cross section on the behavior of RC beams under torsion is firstly shown by using theoretical and experimental results. Next, the effective torsional strength of a reference RC beam is computed for several values and combinations of the study variables, namely: height to width ratio of the cross section, concrete compressive strength, torsional reinforcement ratio and level of the axial restraint. To compute the torsional strength, the modified Variable Angle Truss Model for axially restricted RC beams is used. Then, an extensive parametric analysis based on multivariable and nonlinear correlation analysis is performed to obtain nonlinear regression equations which allow to build the new design charts. These charts allow to correct the torsional strength in order to consider the favourable influence of the compressive axial stress that arises from the axial restraint.

Torsional oscillations of the drivetrain in electric vehicles are generated under rapid driving conditions. These lead to an uncomfortable jerking of the vehicle and an increased stress of the mechanical components. To suppress torsional oscillations, the low pass and notch filters between the torque command from the acceleration pedal and electric motor input torque are suggested. The filter parameters are optimized based on Taguchi method with $L_{18}(3^5)$ orthogonal array. The signal to noise (S/N) ratio mainly depends on slew rate of motor input torque, damping ratio and natural frequency of notch filter. With the proposed suppression control scheme, the S/N ratio is shown to be increased by 4.7dB and the torque overshoot of the drive shaft is reduced to 30%.

Determination of strain associated with shear modulus and damping ratio during torsional test is complicated. This is due to nonuniform stress-strain variation occurring linearly with radius in a soil specimen in torsion. A conventional equivalent radius approach proposed by Chen and Stokoe appears to be adequate for evaluating strain associated with shear modulus at low to intermediate strain levels. This approach is less accurate for damping measurement, particularly at high strain. Modified equivalent radius approach was used to account for the nonuniform stress-strain effect more precisely. The modified equivalent radius approach was applied for hyperbolic, modified hyperbolic, and Ramberg-Osgood models. The results illustrate the usefulness of the modified equivalent radius approach and suggest that using a single value of equivalent radius ratio to calculate strains is not appropriate.

Pure torsion loading conditions were not frequently occurred in practical engineering, but the torsional researches were important since it's the basis of mechanical property researches under complex loading. Then a 3D finite element model with precise material constitutive models was established, and the effectiveness was verified with test data. Parametric studies with varying factors as steel yield strength, concrete strength and sectional height-width ratio, were performed. Internal stress state and the interaction effect between encased steel tube and the core concrete were analyzed. Results indicated that due to the confinement effect between steel tube and core concrete, the torsional strength of CFT columns was greatly improved comparing to plain concrete columns. The steel ratio would greatly influence the torque share between the steel tube and the core concrete. Then the torsional strength calculation formulas for core concrete and the whole CFT column were proposed. The proposed formula could be simpler and easier to use with guaranteed accuracy. Related design codes were more conservative than the proposed formula, but the proposed formula presented more satisfactory agreement with experimental results.

In this article, a comparative study has been made to investigate the scattering behaviour of three layered structure model on torsional surface wave. For such model intermediate layer is taken as fiber reinforced composite, resting over a dry sandy Gibson substratum and underlying by different anelastic media. We consider two distinct mediums for topmost layer. In the first case, topmost layer has been taken as fluid saturated homogeneous porous layer, while in the second case the fluid saturated porous layer has been replaced by a transversely isotropic layer. Simple form expression for the secular equation of torsional surface wave has been worked out in both the cases by executing specific boundary conditions, which comprises Whittaker's function and its derivative, for imminent result that have been elaborated asymptotically. Some special cases have been constituted which are in excellent compliance with recorded literatures. For the sake of comparative study, numerical estimation and graphical illustration have been accomplished to identify the effects of the width ratio of the layers, Biot's gravity parameter, sandy parameter, porosity parameter and other heterogeneity parameters corresponding to the layers and half spaces, horizontal compressive and tensile initial stress on the phase velocity of torsional surface wave.

This article presents a theoretical parametric analysis on the ultimate torsional behaviour of axially restrained reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This analysis is performed by using a computing procedure based on a modification of the Variable Angle Truss Model. This computing procedure was previously developed to account for the influence of the longitudinal compressive stress state due to the axial restraint conditions provided by the connections of the beams to other structural members. The presented parametric study aims to check the influence of some important variable studies, namely: torsional reinforcement ratio, compressive concrete strength and axial restraint level. From the results of this parametric study, nonlinear regression analyses are performed and some design charts are proposed. Such charts allow to correct the resistance torque of RC beams (rectangular sections with small height to width ratios) to account for the favorable influence of the axial restraint.

Fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior under cyclic biaxial loading has been investigated using thin-walled tubular specimen with a hole. Two types of biaxial loading system, i.e. cyclic tensile loading with super-imposed static torsional load and cyclic torsional loading with superimposed static tensile load, with various values of the biaxial loading ratio, $\tau$ s/ $\sigma$ max (or $\tau$ max/ $\sigma$s) were employed. Fatigue tests show that fatigue crack near the hole initiates and propagates at 900 and 450 direction to the longitudinal direction of the specimen under cyclic tensile and torsion loading with static biaxial stress, respectively, and the static biaxial stress doesn't have any great influence on fatigue crack initiation and growth direction. Stress analysis near the hole of the specimen shows that the crack around the hole initiates along the plane of maximum tangential stress range. Fatigue crack growth rates were evaluated as functions of equivalent stress intensity factor range, strain energy density factor range and crack tip opening displacement vector, respectively. It is shown that the biaxial mode fatigue crack growth rates can be relatively consistently predicted with these cyclic parameters.

동적하중을 받는 지반-구조물 시스템의 설계를 위해 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비로 표현되는 지반의 변형특성의 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 공진주/비틂전단시험기를 이용하여 저변형률 및 중간 변형률하에서 건조사질토의 변형특성을 연구하였다. 동적시험인 공진주시험과 반복시험인 비틀전단시험을 동일한 공시 체를 이용하여 실시하였다. 진동측정시스템을 개량하여 응력 -변형관계가 하중반복회수와 전단변형률의 크기에 영향을 받지않는 선형영역을 찾았으며 이 영역에서 이력감쇠가 존재함을 나타내었다. 반복한계변형률 이상에서는 하중반복회수에 따라 전단탄성계수는 증가하고 감쇠비는 감소하였다. 사질토의 전단탄성계수와 감쇠비는 진동주파수에 영향을 받지 않으며 의사정적시험인 비틈전단시험에서 변형특성과 동적시험인 공진주 시험에서 얻은 값은 비교시 하중반복회수의 영향을 고려하면 동일하다. 그러므로 공진주l비틀전단시 험을 통해 얻은 변형특성은 지반-구조물시스템의 동적해석은 물론 정적해석에서도 적용할 수 있다.
