The seismic design of conventional frame structures is meant to enhance plastic deformations at beam ends and prevent yielding in columns. To this end, columns are made stronger than beams. Yet yielding in columns cannot be avoided with the column-to-beam strength ratios (about 1.3) prescribed by seismic codes. Preventing plastic deformations in columns calls for ratios close to 4, which is not feasible for economic reasons. Furthermore, material properties and the rearrangement of geometric shapes inevitably make the distribution of damage among stories uneven. Damage in the i-th story can be characterized as the accumulated plastic strain energy (W_pi) normalized by the product of the story shear force (Q_yi) and drift (δ_yi) at yielding. Past studies showed that the distribution of the plastic strain energy dissipation demand, W_pi/ΣW_pj, can be evaluated from the deviation of Q_yi with respect to an "optimum value" that would make the ratio W_pi/(Q_yiδ_yi) -i.e. the damage- equal in all stories. This paper investigates how the soil type and ductility demand affect the optimum lateral strength distribution. New optimum lateral strength distributions are put forth and compared with others proposed in the literature.

Equal channel angular(ECA) pressing is the established processing technique in which a polycrystalline metal is pressed through the die to achieve a very high plastic strain. Therefore, the capability to produce an ultra-fine grain size in the materials is provided. To investigate that mechanical properties at elevated temperature have the ultrafine grain ECA pressing, experiments were conducted on an Al-4.8% Mg-0.07% Mn-O.06% Si alloy. After having been solution treated at 773K for 2hrs, the billet for ECA pressing was inserted into the die. And it was pressed through two channel of equal to cross section intersecting at a 90 degree angle. The billet can be extrude repeatedly because of 1:1 extrusion ratio. Since the billet is passed through the cannel for 2 times, a large strain is accumulated in the alloy. The tensile tests on elevated temperature were carried out with initial strain rate of $10^{-3}s^{-1}$ at eight temperature distributed from 293K to 673K.

노반 성토체에서 발생하는 소성 변형은 콘크리트 궤도의 안정성과 유지보수에 영향을 미친다. 철도 노반에서의 장기적인 소성 변형은 주로 반복적인 열차 통과로 발생하는 누적된 비탄성적 변형률에 의해 발생한다. 누적 소성 변형의 예측은 궤도의 유지보수와 열차의 안전한 운영을 위해서 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 강화노반 두께를 가진 철도노반에서 발생하는 연직 변위를 계산하였다. 누적 소성 변형률을 계산하기 위한 멱함수의 상수는 삼축 실험과 실대형 재하 실험의 결과로부터 구하였다. 표준 노반 단면에 대한 3차원 유한요소해석 결과로부터 강화노반의 두께를 선정하는 가이드라인을 제시하였다.

상용 마그네슘 합금의 경우, 상온에서 낮은 성형성을 갖기 때문에, 온간 성형 조건 하에서 성형 공정을 수행하는 것이 일반적이다. 마그네슘 합금은 온간 성형 과정 중에 동적 재결정(dynamic recrystallization, DRX)이 발생하여, 초기 결정립 사이즈가 급격하게 작아지며, 내부 전위 밀도가 낮아지게 된다. 이에 따라, 유동 응력 곡선은 세 단계의 복잡한 변형 경화 및 연화 현상을 보이게 된다. 첫 번째 구간에서는 변형률이 증가함에 따라, 가공 경화에 의해 응력이 증가하는 경향을 보이며, 두 번째 구간에서는 동적 재결정 현상에 의한 가공 연화로 응력이 갑작스럽게 감소한다. 세 번째 구간에서는 가공 경화와 가공 연화 사이의 평형에 의해, 응력이 일정하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는, 성형 온도 $300^{\circ}C$, 변형률 속도는 0.001, 0.1, 1, 10/sec에서 AZ80 합금의 구성 방정식의 18개 변수들을 체계적으로 최적화하며, 유동 곡선의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 방식에 대해 제안하려고 한다. 또한 AZ80외에 AZ61도 추가적으로 최적화여 본 논문에서 제안한 최적화 방식의 성능을 증명하였다.

In this paper, utilizing the theory of ductile fracture a chevron crack in a 4-stage open cold extrusion process is predicted by the finite element methods and then compared with previous experiments. The normalized Cockcroft-Latham damage model is employed and the material is identified using a tensile test based material identification technique that gives fracture information as well as flow stress at large strain. A large difference between the predicted cracks and actual experiments is observed, specifically narrower width and greater maximum height of the crack. This reveals the limitation of this approach based on the conventional theory of ductile fracture. Based on the observations and the related criticisms, a new approach for predicting the chevron crack is proposed, suggesting that either the critical damage should not be a fixed material constant, or that the conventional fracture theory should be considered with the effects of embrittlement due to accumulated plastic deformation while the duration of crack generation and plastic deformation should be reduced.

In the present study, the seismic performance of structural walls with boundary elements confined by conventional tie hoops and steel fiber concrete (SFC) was investigated. Cyclic lateral loading tests on four wall specimens under constant axial load were performed. The primary test parameters considered were the spacing of boundary element transverse reinforcement and the use of steel fiber concrete. Test results showed that the wall specimen with boundary elements complying with ACI 318-11 21.9.6 failed at a high drift ratio of 4.5% due to concrete crushing and re-bar buckling. For the specimens where SFC was selectively used in the plastic hinge region, the spalling and crushing of concrete were substantially alleviated. However, sliding shear failure occurred at the interface of SFC and plain concrete at a moderate drift ratio of 3.0% as tensile plastic strains of longitudinal bars were accumulated during cyclic loading. The behaviors of wall specimens were examined through nonlinear section analysis adopting the stress-strain relationships of confined concrete and SFC.

During the pipe forming process, a steel plate undergoes inelastic behavior multiple times under a load condition repeating tension and compression in the circumferential direction. It derives local reduction or increase of yield strength within the thickness of steel pipes by the plastic hardening and Bauschinger effect. In this study, a combined hardening model is proposed to effectively predict variations of yield strength in the circumferential direction of API-X65 and X70 steel pipes with relatively low t/D ratio during the forming process, which is expected to experience accumulated plastic strain of 2~3%, the typical Lüder band range in a low-carbon steel. Cyclic tensile tests of API-X65 and X70 steels were performed, and the parameters of the proposed model for the steels were calibrated using the test results. Bending-flattening tests to simulate repeated tension and compression during pipe forming were followed for API-X65 and X70 steels, and the results were compared with those by the proposed model and Zou et al. (2016), in order to verify the process of material model calibration based on tension-compression cyclic test, and the accuracy of the proposed model. Finally, parametric analysis for the yield strength of the steel plate in the circumferential direction of UOE pipe was conducted to investigate the effects of t/D and expansion ratios after O-forming on the yield strength. The results confirmed that the model by Zou et al. (2016) underestimated the yield strength of steel pipe with relatively low t/D ratio, and the parametric analysis showed that the t/D and expansion ratio have a significant impact on the strength of steel pipe.

본 연구에서는 수치해석모형을 통하여 수위변동시 필댐의 거동 특성을 분석하고 저수지의 안전관리 방안을 고찰하였다. 수치해석 프로그램(GTS NX 및 LIQCA)을 이용하여 필댐의 상·하류측 Shell 및 Core에서 수위승강에 따른 소성전단변형률, 수평변위, 응력경로, 간극수압 등을 분석하였다. 제체의 거동을 분석한 결과, 제체 내의 수위가 빠른 속도로 상승하면 간극수압 및 변위 또한 급격하게 증가하는데, 수위의 상승은 제체 내의 간극수압 증가와 제체의 포화도 증가를 유발하며, 제체의 유효응력을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 수위승강 시 필댐의 거동 특성은 제체의 강도 및 강성이 저하되는 원인이 되고, 침투로 인해 발생하는 제체의 변형에 의해 소성전단변형률이 축적되어 변위 증가를 유발하는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 저수지의 정밀안전진단 상태평가 기준 개선안을 제안하였으며, 향후 저수지 안전진단지침 개정안 마련 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, fatigue properties and crack growth characteristics of a polycarbonate (PC) were examined during cyclic loading at various mean stress (${\sigma}_{amp}$) and stress amplitude (${\sigma}_{mean}$) conditions. Different S vs. N and da/dN vs. ${\Delta}K$ relations were obtained depending on the loading condition. The higher fatigue strength and the higher resistance of crack growth are seen for the PC samples cyclically loaded at the higher mean stress and lower stress amplitude due to the low crack driving force. Non-linear S - N relationship was detected in the examination of the fatigue properties with changing the mean stress. This is attributed to the different crack growth rate (longer fatigue life): the sample loaded at the high mean stress with lower stress amplitude. Even if the higher stress amplitude, the low fatigue properties are obtained for the sample loaded at the higher mean stress. This was due to the accumulated strain energy to the sample, where severe plastic deformation occurs instead of crack growth (plasticity-induced crack closure). Shear bands and discontinuous crack growth band (DGB) are observed clearly on the fracture surfaces of the sample cyclically loaded at the high stress amplitude, where the lower the ${\sigma}_{mean}$, the narrower the shear band and DGB. On the other hand, final fracture occurred instantly immediately after the short crack growth occurs in the PC sample loaded at the high mean with the low ${\sigma}_{amp}$, i.e., tear fracture, in which the shear bands and DGB are not seen clearly.
