Tension tests of six half-thickness concrete containment wall elements were conducted as part of a Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KARRI) program. The aim of the KAERI test program is providing a test-verified analytical method for estimating capacities of concrete reactor containment buildings under internal overpressurization from postulated degraded core accidents. The data from the tests reported herein should be useful for benchmarking method that requires modeling of material behavior including concrete cracking and reinforcement/concrete interaction exhibited by the test. Major test variable is the compressive strength of concrete and its effect on the behavior of prestressed concrete panel subjected to biaxial tension.

In this paper, efficiency optimization design of 600W class IPMSM was performed by using Quasi-Newton method. The output was limited to 600W to meet the same output as the basic model. The behavior of each variable as the design progressed was judged on the efficiency, which is the target value through correlation analysis. The design variables were set as the width of the stator, the position of the permanent magnet from the end of the rotor, the thickness of the permanent magnet, and the width of the permanent magnet.

A shape optimization of stiffener was conducted to increase buckling load or failure load with stiffened laminated composite panel of I-type under compression loading. Design variables are cap length, web length, and/or thickness under the constraint of volume constancy. The objective function is buckling load and failure load of post-buckling based on Tsai-Hill theory using ABAQUS 5.8 for analysis and Optimizer on Broydon-Fletcher Goldfarb-Sharno Method and Augmented Lagrange Multiplier Method. The effects of relative length of a web and a cap of stiffener on buckling load and failure load of post-buckling were investigated with the results of optimum design.

A study of heat transfer and thermophoretic particle deposition has been carried out for the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition(MCVD) process. A new concept utilizing two torches is suggested to simulate the heating effects from repeated traversing torches. Calculation results for the wall temperatures and deposition efficiency are in good agreement with experimental data. The effects of variable properties are included and heat flux boundary condition is used to simulate the moving torch heating. A conjugate heat transfer which includes heat conduction through solid layer and heat teansfer in a gas in a tube is analyzed. Of particular interests are the effects of torch speeds and solid layer thicknesses on the deposition efficiency, rate and the tapered entry length.

The paper presents design optimization of an automobile body for dynamic stiffness improvement. The thicknesses of plates making-up the monocoque body of an automobile were employed as design variables for optimization and the objective was to increase the first torsional and bending natural frequencies. By allotting one design variable to each plate of the body, compared to previous works based on element-wise design variables, design space of optimization was reduced to a large extent and numerical instabilities such as checkerboard pattern was efficiently evaded. The method resulted to a considerable amount of increase in the automobile body's torsional and bending natural frequencies. Considering manufacturability of the optimized result, the converged values of plate thicknesses were approximated to commercially-available values by appropriately reflecting their design sensitivities.

Many structural evaluation procedures of road and airfield pavements use the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) as a critical element of non-destructive deflection testing. FWD is a trailer mounted device that provides accurate data on pavement response to dynamic wheel loads. A dynamic load is generated by dropping a mass from a variable height onto a loading plate. The magnitude of the load and the pavement deflection are measured by a load celt and geophones. And database concerning pavement damage should be enhanced to analyze loss of thickness asphalt layer caused from the plastic deformation of pavement structure, such as cracking or rutting. The prototype FWD is developed, which consists of chassis system, hydraulic loading system, data acquisition and analysis system. This system subsequently merged to from automation management system and is then validated and updated to produce a working FWD which can actually be used in the field.

Three dimensional solutions for free vibrations analysis of functionally graded fiber reinforced cylindrical panel are presented, using differential quadrature method (DQM). The orthotropic panel is simply supported at the edges and is assumed to have an arbitrary variation of reinforcement volume fraction in the radial direction. Suitable displacement functions that identically satisfy the simply supported boundary condition are used to reduce the equilibrium equations to a set of coupled ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients, which can be solved by differential quadrature method to obtain natural frequencies. The main contribution of this work is presenting useful results for continuous grading of fiber reinforcement in the thickness direction of a cylindrical panel and comparison with similar discrete laminate composite ones. Results indicate that significant improvement is found in natural frequency of a functionally graded fiber reinforced composite panel due to the reduction in spatial mismatch of material properties.

본 논문의 주목적은 확률변수의 백분위수를 이용하여 Mg-Al-Zn합금에 적합한 확률론적 피로균열전파모델을 평가하여 제시하는 것이다. 균열성장의 변동성을 묘사하기 위하여 실험적 피로균열전파모델에 확률변수를 도입한 확률론적 피로균열전파모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델을 평가하기 위하여 시편두께조건을 변화시키면서 피로균열전파실험을 수행하여 균열성장의 통계데이터를 확보하였다. 각 모델의 파라미터는 최우추정법으로 추정하였으며, 균열성장에 따른 확률변수의 백분위수를 이용하여 모델적합성을 평가하였다. 일반적으로 Mg-Al-Zn합금에 적합한 모델은 '확률론적 Paris-Erdogan모델'과 '확률론적 Walker모델'이었으며, 두꺼운 시편의 경우엔 '확률론적 Forman모델'가 적합함을 규명하였다.

This paper is concerned with an experimental study on structural behavior of Concrete-Filled Circular Tubular(CFCT) column to H-beam connections. The important parameters are the number of inner reinforced rib and the width of H-beam flange(100, 150, 200mm) with variable column thickness(5.8mm, 9.2mm, 12.5mm) around the joint between CFCT and H-beam. Test results are summarized for the displacement, strength, initial stiffness, failure mode and energy absorption capacity of each specimen. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the initial stiffness and the strength of connections to evaluate the structural behavior of the CFCT column to H-beam connections. From the discussion about the test results, the basic data for non diaphragm connection design would be suggested.

Recently, direct rolling process, called as strip casting process, has been interested in to save production cost by reducing forming processes. In direct rolling process, since a steel strip of thickness 1-5(mm) can be produced directly from molten metal, it can eliminate secondary hot rolling process. On the other hand, since many process variables are existed in this process and relation of these variables is very complex, it is difficult to realize the process design and the quality control. In this paper, as first step to overcome above difficulties, the quantitative relationship of the process variables affected to quality of the strip has been carried out through the numerical analysis. Also, we determined the process variable to monitor the quality in the direct rolling process. As a result, we show that the solidification final point, called as Nip point, was related directly to quality of the strip.
