The size-dependent nonlinear thermomechanical vibration analysis of pre- and post-buckled tapered two-directional functionally graded (2D-FG) microbeams is presented in this study. In the context of the modified couple stress theory, the formulations are derived based on the parabolic shear deformation beam theory and von Karman nonlinear strains. Different thermomechanical material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and smoothly vary in both length and thickness directions using the power law and the physical neutral axis concept is employed. The nonlinear governing equations are derived using the Hamilton principle and the resulting variable coefficient equations of motion are solved using the differential quadrature method (DQM) and iterative Newton's method for clamped-clamped and simply supported boundary conditions. Comparison studies are presented to validate the derived model and solution procedure. The impacts of induced thermal moments, temperature power index, two gradient indices, nonuniform cross-section, and microstructure length scale parameter on the frequency-temperature configurations are explored for both clamped and simply supported microbeams.

Brachytherapy is a special case of radiotherapy. It should be arranged according to some principles in medical radiation applications and radiation physics. The primary principle is to use as low as reasonably achievable dose in all ionizing radiation applications for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments. Dosimetric distributions are dependent on radioactive source properties and radiation-matter interactions in an absorber medium such as phantom or tissue. In this consideration, the geometrical structure and material of the seed capsule, which surrounds a radioactive material, are directly responsible for isodose profiles and dosimetric functions. In this study, the radiometric properties of capsule material were investigated on dose distribution in a water phantom by changing its nuclear properties using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo (MC) simulation code. Effective atomic numbers of hypothetic mixtures were calculated by using different elements with several fractions for capsule material. Model 6711 brachytherapy seed was modeled by EGSnrc/Dosrcnrc Code and dosimetric functions were calculated. As a result, dosimetric parameters of hypothetic sources have been acquired in large-scale atomic number. Dosimetric deviations between the data of hypothetic seeds and the original one were analyzed. Unit dose (Gy/Particle) distributions belonging to different types of material in seed capsule have remarkably differed from the original capsule's data. Capsule type is major variable to manage the expected dose profile and isodose distribution around a seed. This study shows us systematically varied scale of material type (cross section or effective atomic number dependent) offers selective material usage in production of seed capsules for the expected isodose profile of a specific source.

The effects of mold variable and main alloying element on the mechanical properties of ductile cast iron poured into shell stack mold were investigated. The strength and hardness of with the smaller cross-section of the diameter of 6.25mm were higher than those of 12.50mm. On the other hand, the elongation of the former was lower than that of the latter. The strength and hardness of the specimens obtained from the center layer in the 5-story stack mold were the lowest and those for other specimens were increased with increased distance from the center. The elongation of those were the highest of all. The strength and hardness of the specimens obtained from the center layer were decreased the elongation was increased with the increased number of layers. The strength and hardness were increased and the elongation was decreased roughly with the increased amounts of reaidual magnesium and carbon content added, respectively. The strength and hardness were increased and the elongation was decreased roughly with the increased amounts of silicon content added to 2.45wt% and rather decreased with that to 2.85wt%. The effect of silicon content showed the opposite tendency to those of residual magnesium and carbon content.

A general formulation for shape design sensitivity analysis over three dimensional beam structure is developed based on a variational formulation of the beam in linear elasticity. Sensitivity formula is derived based on variational equations in cartesian coordinates using the material derivative concept and adjoint variable method for the displacement and Von-Mises stress functionals. Shape variation is considered for the beam shape in general 3-dimensional direction as well as for the orientation angle of the beam cross section. In the sensitivity expression, the end points evaluation at each beam segment is added to the integral formula, which are summed over the entire structure. The sensitivity formula can be evaluated with generality and ease even by employing piecewise linear design velocity field despite the bending model is fourth order differential equation. For the numerical implementation, commercial software ANSYS is used as analysis tool for the primal and adjoint analysis. Once the design variable set is defined using ANSYS language, shape and orientation variation vector at each node is generated by making finite difference to the shape with respect to each design parameter, and is used for the computation of sensitivity formula. Several numerical examples are taken to show the advantage of the method, in which the accuracy of the sensitivity is evaluated. The results are found excellent even by employing a simple linear function for the design velocity evaluation. Shape optimization is carried out for the geometric design of an archgrid and tilted bridge, which is to minimize maximum stress over the structure while maintaining constant weight. In conclusion, the proposed formulation is a useful and easy tool in finding optimum shape in a variety of the spatial frame structures.

In the present study, the low speed (4 km/h) crash behaviour of an aluminium bumper system was characterised by FE analyses based on the FMVSS 581, which regulates automotive bumpers. Two types of cross-sectional designs, i.e., Model 1, which contains a single rib and Model 2, double ribs, have been considered along with Al7021, 6082 and 6060 for the aluminium bumper back beam. Variations in thickness starting from 2 to 4 mm of the bumper system cross-section in the FE model was implemented in order to investigate the thickness effect on the bumper's crash behaviour.. Three kinds of design variables, namely, number of ribs, material and thickness, are considered. The FE analysis results are summarised with the maximum load and the Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) since they are the key factors in determining the crashworthiness of automotive structures. The results may also be able to indicate how to achieve lightweight structure of the automotive bumper system either directly or indirectly.

The effect of stress factors on the growing process of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of the sensitized 18-8 stainless steel in high temperature water was investigated using equations of crack growth rate derived from applying electric circuits to SCC corrosion paths. Three kinds of cross sections have to be considered when electric circuit is constructed using total current. The first is ion flow passage area, $S_{sol}$, of solution in crack, the second is total dissolving surface area, $S_{dis}$, of metal on electrode of crack tip and the third is dissolving cross section, $S_{met}$, of metal on grain boundary or in base metal or in welding metal. Stress may affect each area. $S_{sol}$ may depend on applied stress, $\sigma_{\infty}$, related with crack depth. $S_{dis}$ is expressed using a factor of $\varepsilon(K)$ and may depend on stress intensity factor, K only. SCC crack growth rate is ordinarily estimated using a variable of K only as stress factor. However it may be expected that SCC crack growth rate depends on both applied stress $\sigma_{\infty}$ and K or both crack depth and K from this consideration.$\varepsilon(K)$ is expressed as ${\varepsilon}(K)=h_2{\cdot}K^2+h_3{\cdot}K^3$ when $h_{2}$ and $h_{3}$ are coefficients. Also, relationships between SCC crack growth rate, da/dt and K were simulated and compared with the literature data of JBWR-VIP-04, NRC NUREG-0313 Rev.2 and SKIFS Draft. It was pointed out in CT test that the difference of distance between a point of application of force and the end of starter notch (starting point of fatigue crack) may be important to estimate SCC crack growth rate. An anode dissolution current density was quantitatively evaluated using a derived equation.

토양내에서의 가스나 증기상의 오염물질의 이동은 여러 가지 현상에 의해서 일어나고 있으나 농도차에 의해서 일어나는 확산이 가장 중요하다. 그런데 토양내에서의 확산은 토양 입자들로 인한 확산 부피의 감소, 또 확산경로의 불규칙성, 확산 경로에 있어서 단면적의 변화 등으로 인해 대기중에서 일어나는 확산과는 다른 면을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상을 설명하기 위하여 흔히 사용되는 굴절계수(toruosity), 유효확산계수(effective diffusion coefficient)의 서로 다른 그러나 같은 이름으로 사용되는 많은 정의들과 다양한 수학적 모델들에 대한 비교 검토가 이루어졌다. 굴절계수나 유효확산계수를 사용할 때는 각각의 경우 정의와 각 식의 특징에 대하여 세밀한 검토와 주의가 행하여져야 한다.

최근 콘크리트 타설 중 구조체, 거푸집 및 동바리 사고가 계속해서 발생하고 있으며, 특히 슬래브 두께가 증가하는 다층지지 RC 구조에서 붕괴 사고가 빈번하게 발생하였다. 이전 연구에서는 모든 슬래브 두께가 일정한 경우에 대한 연구가 주로 수행되었으나 일부 슬래브의 두께가 다른 경우, 슬래브 단면 강성의 변화로 전체 슬래브 강성 비율이 달라져 시공 하중의 분포가 달라질 수 있어 이에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 슬래브 두께를 변수로 설정하여 슬래브 두께 변화가 콘크리트 강성과 구조물에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 시공 하중의 분포를 분석하였으며, 슬래브 두께가 변화하는 경우 콘크리트 재료 강성 뿐만이 아닌 슬래브 단면 강성도 시공 하중 산정에 고려되어야 함을 확인하였다. 슬래브 두께가 증가 할 경우 두께가 증가하는 층에 작용하는 최대 시공 하중과 최대 손상 변수는 크게 증가하였으며 두께 증가가 클수록 더욱 높은 비율의 시공 하중이 작용함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 강원도 맹방해변을 대상으로 Delft3D 지형변화모듈 내의 표사이동 관련 매개변수(f_BED, f_BEDW, f_SUSW)가 지형변화 모의 결과에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 맹방해변 해역에서 2018년도에 관측한 1년 간의 파랑자료를 외력으로 적용하고, 동년도 1월과 10월에 관측한 수심자료는 각각 초기 지형자료와 년간 지형변화 자료로 사용하였다. 모델의 지형변화 모의성능은 계산영역 내의 임의의 한 단면을 연안역과 외해역 구간으로 구분하고, 각 영역에 대해 Brier Skill Score 지표에 근거하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 f_BED 변수가 지형변화 모의 결과에 미치는 영향은 미약하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. f_BEDW와 f_SUSW 변수는 그 값이 0.5 이하일 때는 연안역에 대해 좋은 모의 성능을 보이고, 반대의 경우에는 외해역에 대해 좋은 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 실험조건 중 연안역에 대해 가장 좋은 성능을 보인 변수 조합은 f_BED = 1.0, f_BEDW = 1.0, f_SUSW = 0.1이고, 외해역에 대해서는 f_BED = 1.0, f_BEDW = 1.0, f_SUSW = 0.5이었다. 그러나, 이 조합은 맹방해변 2018년도 자료에 근거하여 산출된 값이므로, 타해역에 적용할 때는 주의가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 strain gage와 LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) 변위센서를 이용하여 섬유 보강 복합레진에서 섬유의 방향이 복합레진의 중합수축에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위함이다. 지름 10 mm, 높이 2 mm의 원반 모양 유동성 복합레진 (Aeliteflo A2, Bisco, Inc., IL, USA) 중앙에 유리섬유 (X-80821P Glass Fiber, Bisco, Inc., IL, USA)를 위치시키고, 섬유가 배열된 장축 방향 (longitudinal)과 수직방향 (transversal)의 중합수축량을 strain gage (Linear S-series 350${\Omega}$, CAS, Seoul, Korea)를 이용하여 각각 측정하였다. 사용된 유동성 복합레진 자체의 free 중합수축을 구하기 위해 지름 7 mm, 높이 1 mm의 원반 모양 시편의 수직 방향 (axial) free 중합수축값을 LVDT로 측정하였다. 중합된 시편들을 절단하여 주사전자현미경으로 복합 레진 내부의 섬유배열을 관찰하고 각 군에서 측정된 평균 수축값들을 ANOVA로 비교하였고 Scheffe post-hoc test로 사후 검정하였다 (${\alpha}$=0.05). 섬유가 배열된 평면 상에서 복합레진의 중합수축 (radial shrinkage)은 섬유와 평행한 방향에서 감소하고 섬유와 수직한 방향에서 증가했다 (p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과 섬유 보강 복합레진으로 스플린트나 수복물을 제작할 때 중합수축량은 보강된 섬유의 배열방향에 따라 큰 차이가 남을 알 수 있었다.
