This paper presents an accelerated-curing method by the war water method and discusses how these methods can be adapted for regular quality control and quality assurance of concret. Accelerated strength test data can be used for estimating the furture stength, e.g. the 28-day strength. An accelerated-curing method to predict the 28-day strength of concrete from 1-day warm water-cured test results was evaluated in the laboratory and the field. For these evaluations test are performed for 1845 standard specimens from 123 different batches of concrete. The results of this study the equation applicable universally with resonable accuracy are presented for estimating the potential strength of concrete by the warm water-curing method.

Elastic modulus of unidirectional short fiber composite has theoretically derived with the consideration of Poisson's ratios of matrix and fiber. Unidirectional short fiber composite is modeled as an aggregate of grains developed by Kerner. Under the assumption of extra strain at fiber ends, the strain distribution along the fiber's length is determined, and the elastic modulus is derived from this distribution. For the consideration of effects of Poisson's ratio, Kerner's results for particulate composites are adapted as boundary conditions. The effect of differences in Poisson's ratio of fiber and matrix on elastic modulus is studied. Proposed equation shows a good agreement with experimental data of Halpin and Tock, et al.

The thermomechanical behaviors of the shape memory alloy were conducted through the finite element analysis of ABAQUS with UMAT user subroutine. The unified thermomechanical constitutive equation suggested by Lagoudas was adapted into the UMAT user subroutine to investigate the characteristics of the shape memory alloy. The three cases were solved to investigate the thermomechanical characteristics of the shape memory alloy. The material properties for the analysis were obtained by DSC and DMA techniques. According to the results, the thermomechanical characteristics, such as a shape memory effect and a pseudoelastic effect, could be obtained through the finite element analysis and the analysis results were revealed to agree well with the experimental results. Therefore, the finite element analysis using UMAT user subroutine is one of prominent analysis techniques to investigate the thermomechnical behaviors of the shape memory alloy quantitatively.

After the collapse of the Tacoma bay bridge at Tacoma Washington, the accurate prediction of aerodynamics became crucial to the sound design of bridges. CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) becomes important tool for the prediction on wind effects on the bridge due to the recent development of CFD. The usage of CFD is further prompted by the advantages in using CFD, such as low-cost and fast feed-back of design. In this paper, an unsteady compressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes code is used for the computation of the flow over bridges. Coakley's ��q-${\omega}$ �� two-equation turbulence model is used for the turbulent eddy viscosity. For accurate and stable computations, the local preconditioning method is adapted to the code. Aerodynamic characteristics of a couple bridges are presented to show the validity and the accuracy of the method.

CTBA(Coupled Torsion Beam Axle) has been adapted as the rear suspension of a compact car. Because that has the advantage of cost and weight in comparison with multi-link type. But CTBA has the disadvantage in vehicle stability to become oversteer occurring toe-out of the rear wheel when cornering and braking. In this study, we suggested CTBA Geometry Compensation System to overcome the disadvantage of CTBA. We predicted braking and cornering vehicle performance from proposed equation and numerical simulation. And also, the results were compared to objective and subjective evaluation in vehicle.

Localized shear band is investigated through the analysis of one-dimensional model for simple shearing deformation of thermally rate dependent material. Generally mesh size or interval of nodes play an important role in determining the overall flow behavior of the material. In order to observe these size effects we adapted non-local theory by including higher order strain gradients of the equivalent strain into the constitutive equation for the flow stress. for the ease of convergence and numerical stability the inplicit finite difference scheme is employed.

For critical structures and application, where a given reliability must be met, it is necessary to account for uncertainties and variability in material properties, structural parameters affecting the corrosion process, in addition to the statistical and decision uncertainties. This paper presents an approach to the fuzzy arithmetic based modeling of the chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement in concrete structures that takes into account the uncertainties in the physical models of chloride penetration into concrete and corrosion of steel reinforcement, as well as the uncertainties in the governing parameters, including concrete diffusivity, concrete cover depth, surface chloride concentration and critical chloride level for corrosion initiation. The parameters of the models are regarded as fuzzy numbers with proper membership function adapted to statistical data of the governing parameters and the fuzziness of the corrosion time is determined by the fuzzy arithmetic of interval arithmetic and extension principle

A modified theoretical analysis of the ballistic perforation on the double and multi-layered armour plates using an upper bound method has been presented in this paper. A modified model based on the suggestion of the Awerbuch-bodner model has been adapted and extended into double and multi-layered armour plates when the plugging type of penetration has been occurred. The residual projectile speed, ballistic limit velocity and contact time during the penetration process have been derived from the equation of motion at each stage.

In this paper, the unsteady behavior of the viscous flow field past an impulsively started elliptic cylinder is studied numerically. In order to analyze flow field, we introduce vortex particle method. The vorticity transport equation is solved by fractional step algorithm which splits into convection term and diffusion term. The convection term is calculated with Biot-Savart law, the no-through boundary condition is employed on solid boundaries. The diffusion term is modified based on the scheme of particle strength exchange. The particle redistributed scheme for general geometry is adapted. The flows around an elliptic cylinder are investigated for various attack angles at Reynolds number 200. The comparison between numerical results of present study and experimental data shows good agreements.

This paper proposes a Self-Tuning control algorithm for tracking the reference trajectory by measuring the end-point of robot manipulator whose links are light and flexible, and the performance of it is tested through the computer simulation. As an object of system, a flexible robot manipulator with two-links is considered and an assumed mode shape method including gravity force is adopted to analyze the vibration modes for each links and dynamics equation is derived. The controller is designed as a combined form which consists of dynamic feedforward compensator and self-tuning feedback controller. The one supplies nominal torque and the other supplies variational torque to manipulator. Apart from the, K-incremental predictor is also proposed in order to eliminate the offset error. and it shows that the result of simulation adapted well to load change and rapid velocity.
