The dynamic response of a cracked functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) under transient anti-plane shear mechanical and in-plane electrical loads is investigated in the present paper. It is assumed that the electroelastic material properties of the FGPM vary smoothly in the form of an exponential function along the thickness of the strip. The analysis is conducted on the basis of the unified (or natural) crack boundary condition which is related to the ellipsoidal crack parameters. By using the Laplace and Fourier transforms, the problem is reduced to the solutions of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Numerical results for the stress intensity factor and crack sliding displacement are presented to show the influences of the elliptic crack parameters, the electric field, FGPM gradation, crack length, and electromechanical coupling coefficient.

In this study, behavior of $C_t$ which is a well-known fracture parameter characterizing creep crack growth rate, is investigated for weld interface cracks. Finite element analyses were per formed for a C(T) specimen under constant loading condition for elastic-plastic-creeping materials. In modeling C(T) geometry, an interface was employed along the crack plane which simulated the interface between weld and base metals. The $C_t$ versus time relations were obtained under various creep constant combinations and plastic constant combinations for weld and base metals, respectively. A unified $C_t$ versus time curve is obtained by normalizing $C_t$ with $C^*$ and t with $t_T$ for all the cases of material constant variations.

선체 구조에서 피로 손상을 받기 쉬운 용접 부위인 T형 이음부(T-joint) 및 호퍼 너클 이음부(hopper knuckle joint) 모델의 피로실험 및 선형탄성 파괴역학을 이용한 피로균열 진전해석을 수행하였다. 집중 응력(hot spot stress)을 적용하여 정의된 균열 개시수명(균열 깊이 1mm)을 기준으로 하는 통합된 S-N선도를 작성하였으며, 잔류응력을 고려한 피로균열 진전해석을 통하여 피로균열 진전수명을 정확히 예측할 수 있었다. 또한, 임의의 형상을 가지는 용접 이음부(weld joint)의 피로균열 진전수명에 대한 정량화의 가능성을 확인하였다.

이 논문은 철근콘크리트 구조 부재의 인장증강효과에 대한 해석적 모델을 제안한 것이다. 이 모델의 정식화를 위해 철근과 콘크리트 경계면에서 발생하는 실제와 유사한 형태의 부착응력과 미끌림 특성과 쪼갬균열의 영향을 고려하였다. 균열 안정화 단계에서의 철근 경계면 미끌림 분포를 선형으로 가정하고, 균열이 발생한 부재의 중앙 단면에서 콘크리트의 분담력이 일정하다는 조건을 CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 및 Eurocode 2에서 제시하고 있는 부착응력-미끌림 관계에 적용하였다. 이로부터 균열 안정화단계에서 부착응력에 의해 철근의 매입길이 방향으로 변화하는 철근의 변형률과 콘크리트 분담력을 계산할 수 있는 평형방정식을 유도하고, 변형적합조건을 고려하여 철근의 평균 변형률과 콘크리트 평균 분담력으로 동시에 표현이 가능한 인장강성 계수를 제안하였다. 이로부터 새롭게 정식화된 인장증강효과 모델을 기존 문헌에 발표된 여러 연구자들의 실험 자료에 적용하여 그 정확성을 검증한 결과, 제안식에 의한 예측값은 실험값을 비교적 정확하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

The post-tensioned (PT) flat plate slab system is commonly used in practice, and this simple and fast construction method is also considered to be a very efficient method because it can provide excellent deflection and crack control performance under a service load condition and consequently can be advantageous when applying to long-span structures. However, a detailed design guideline for evaluating the lateral behavior of the PT flat plate slab system is not available in current design codes. Thus, typical design methods used for conventional reinforced concrete (RC) flat plate slab structures have inevitably been adopted in practice for the lateral load design of PT flat plate structures. In the authors' previous studies, the unified equivalent frame method (UEFM) was proposed, which considers the combined effect of gravity and lateral loads for the lateral behavior analysis of RC flat plate slab structures. The aim of this study is to extend the concept of the UEFM to the lateral analysis of PT flat plate slab structures. In addition, the stiffness reduction factors of torsional members on interior and exterior equivalent frames were newly introduced considering the effect of post-tensioning. Test results of various PT flat plate slab-column connection specimens were collected from literature, and compared to the analysis results estimated by the extended UEFM.
