Mechanical properties of potato and sweet potato were measured under impact and compression loading. The test apparatus consisted of disgital storage oscilloscope and simple mechanisms which can apply compression and impact forces to potatoes and sweet potatoes. The mechanical properties could be measured while the tissues were ruptured in a very short period time less than 10 ms by impact loading. Rupture force, energy, and deformation were measured as mechanical properties of potatoes and sweet potatoes under impact and compression loading. Rupture forces under impact and compression loading were in the range of 84.1 to 93.7N and 128.9 to 132.2N for external tissues and 60.1 to 64.8N and 158.9 to 171.1N for internal tissues of potato and sweet potato, respectively. Compression speeds and drop heights for each test were in the range of 1.25 to 62.5mm/min and 8 to 24cm.

A new type of precast steel reinforced concrete (PSRC) column was put forward in this paper. In order to study the static performance of PSRC column and hollow precast steel reinforced concrete (HPSRC) column subjected to combined compression and shear loading, a parametric test was carried out and effects of axial compression ratio, concrete strength and shear ratio on the mechanical behavior of composite PSRC column and HPSRC column were explored. In addition, the cracks development, load-span displacement relationship, strain distribution and shear bearing strength of column specimens were emphatically focused. Test results implied that shear failure of all specimens occurred during the test, and higher strength of cast-in-place concrete, smaller shear ratio and larger axial compression ratio could lead to greater shear resistance, but when the axial compression ratio was larger than 0.36, the shear capacity began to decrease gradually. Furthermore, truss-arch model for determining the shear strength of PSRC column and HPSRC column was proposed and the calculated results obtained from proposed method were verified to be valid.

The compression strength of corrugated fiberboard container for packaging the agricultural products rapidly decreases because of various environmental conditions during distribution of unitized products. Among various environmental conditions, the main factors affecting the compression strength of corrugated fiberboard are absorption of moisture, long-term accumulative load, and fatigue caused by shock and vibration. An estimated rate of damage for fruit during distribution is about from 30 to 40 percent owing to the shock and vibration. This study was carried out to characterize the durability of corrugated fiberboard container for packaging the fruit and vegetables under simulated transportation environment. The vibration test system was constructed to simulate the land transportation using truck. After the package with corrugated fiberboard container was vibrated by vibration test system at various experimental conditions, the compression test for the package was performed. The compression strength of corrugated fiberboard container decreased with loading weight and vibrating time. The multiple nonlinear regression equation for predicting the decreasing rate of compression strength of corrugated fiberboard containers were developed using four independent variables such as input acceleration level, input frequency, loading weight and vibrating time. The influence of loading weight on the decreasing rate of corrugated fiberboard container was larger than other variables.

A dynamic fatigue characteristic of dental implant system has been evaluated with applying single axial compressive shear loading based on the ISO 14801 standard. For the advanced dynamic fatigue test, multi-directional force and motion needed to be accompanied for more information of mechanical properties as based on mastication in oral environment. In this study, we have prepared loading and motion protocol for the multi-directional fatigue test of dental implant system with single (Apical/Occlusal; AO), and additional mastication motion (Lingual/Facial; LF, Mesial/Distal; MD). As following the prepared protocol (with modification of ISO 14801), fatigue test was conducted to verify the worst case results for the development of highly stabilized dental implant system. Mechanical testing was performed using an universal testing machine (MTS Bionix 858, MN, USA) for static compression and single directional loading fatigue, while the multi-directional loading was performed with joint simulator (ADL-Force 5, MA, USA) under load control. Basically, all mechanical test was performed according to the ISO 14801:2016 standard. Static compression test was performed to identify the maximum fracture force with loading speed of 1.0 mm/min. A dynamic fatigue test was performed with 40 % value of maximum fracture force and 5 Hz loading frequency. A single directional fatigue test was performed with only apical/occlusal (AO) force application, while multi directional fatigue tests were applied $2^{\circ}$ of facial/lingual (FL) or mesial/distal (MD) movement. Fatigue failure cycles were entirely different between applying single-directional loading and multi-directional loading. As a comparison of these loading factor, the failure cycle was around 5 times lower than single-directional loading while applied multi-directional loading. Also, the displacement change with accumulated multi-directional fatigue cycles was higher than that of single directional cycles.

Prediction of soil behavior should be interpreted based on the level of axial strain in the actual ground. Recently numerical methods have been carried out focus on the state of soil failure. However considered the deformation of soil the prior to failure, mostly the small strain occurring in the elastic range is considered. As a result of calculating the deformation modulus to 50% of the maximum unconfined compression strength, Deformation modulus (E50) showed a tendency to increase according to the degree of compaction by region. The Poisson's ratio during loading-unloading was 0.63, which was higher than the literature value of 0.5. For the unconfined compression test under cyclic loading for the measurement of permanent strain, the maximum compression strength was divided into four step and the test was performed by load step. Changes in permanent strain and deformation modulus were checked by the loading-unloading test for each stage. At 90% compaction, the permanent deformation of the SM sample was 0.21 mm, 0.37 mm, 0.6 mm, and 1.35 mm. The SC samples were 0.1 mm, 0.17 mm, 0.42 mm, and 1.66 mm, and the ML samples were 0.48 mm, 0.95 mm, 1.30 mm, and 1.68 mm.

이 연구에서는, 균질한 재성형 점토를 이용한 실내시험을 통해 정규압밀 영역에서의 하중재하기간이 점성토의 압축 및 장기압밀 특성에 미치는 영향을 명확히 하고자 하였다. 또한 각 하중재하기간에 따른 현장에서의 유효상재하중에 해당하는 초기압밀하중을 변화시킨 장기압밀 시험을 수행하여 표준압밀시험시의 하중단계별 재하방법과 하중재하기간의 증가에 따른 압축곡선의 특성을 비교/분석하여 하중재하기간에 따라 최종침하량을 예측하는 방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 하중재하기간에 따른 점성토의 압축특성은 초기압밀하중을 가한 후 하중재하기간이 증가할수록 주어진 단계에서의 압밀후반부의 2차압밀의 증가로 선행압밀하중이 약간씩 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그와 동시에 2차압밀이 유사과압밀 현상 및 점토골격의 안정화를 유발하여 정규압밀영역에서의 압축지수에 미치는 영향은 미미했으며 과압밀영역에서는 유사과압밀 현상으로 재압축지수의 증가를 유발하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, a compression to tensile load converter device was developed to determine the anisotropic tensile strength of concrete. The samples were made from a mixture of water, fine sand and cement, respectively. Concrete samples with a hole at its center was prepared and subjected to tensile loading using the compression to tensile load converter device. A hydraulic load cell applied compressive loading to converter device with a constant pressure of 0.02 MPa per second. Compressive loading was converted to tensile stress on the sample because of the overall test design. The samples have three different configurations related to loading axis; 0, $45^{\circ}$, $-45^{\circ}$. A series of finite element analysis were done to analyze the effect of hole diameter on stress concentration of the hole side along its horizontal axis to provide a suitable criterion for determining the real tensile strength of concrete. Concurrent with indirect tensile test, Brazilian test and three point loading test were also performed to compare the results from the three methods. Results obtained by this device were quite encouraging and show that the tensile strengths of concrete were similar in different directions because of the homogeneity of bonding between the concrete materials. Also, the indirect tensile strength was clearly lower than the Brazilian test strength and three point loading test.

특성이 서로 다른 화강암, 대리암 그리고 사암에 대하여 일축압축시험과 반복재하시험을 실시하여 암석의 손상특성을 분석하였다. 일축압축시험으로 암석들의 강도, 탄성상수 그리고 손상기준응력을 결정하였고 이를 반복재하시험의 결과와 비교하였다. 반복재하시험으로 측정된 암석들의 평균 강도는 일축압축시험으로 측정된 값보다 약간 작거나 유사였다. 특히 강도가 높고 공극률이 낮은 암석들이 공극률이 매우 큰 연약한 암석들에 비해 반복하중에 의한 피로현상에 더 민감하였다. 반복 재하-제하 과정에서 발생되는 암석의 영구변형률은 암종에 따라 약간의 차이는 있으나 암석의 손상상태를 파악할 수 있는 유용한 도구로 활용할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 응력-누적영구변형률 곡선은 화강암과 대리암에 대하여 균열손상응력을 추정할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 시험과정에 미소파괴음을 측정하여 암석의 손상상태를 판단할 수 있는 펠리시티 비를 계산하였다. 공극이 매우 많고 연약한 사암은 미소파괴음의 방출이 매우 미약하여서 펠리시티 비의 계산에 어려움이 있었다. 반면 공극이 적고 취성의 특성을 보이는 화강암과 대리임의 경우 반복재하단계에서 계산된 펠리시티 비를 통하여 암석의 균열손상응력을 추정할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 향후 더 많은 시료와 다양한 종류의 암석을 대상으로 추가적인 시험을 진행하여 공통적인 결과를 도출한다면 유사한 조건을 갖는 암반의 손상과 변형 거동을 파악하는 데 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

암석의 물성평가 및 파괴모델 실험을 위하여 다축압축 실험이 자주 사용된다. 다축압축 실험을 통한 암반의 거동 평가시 정확한 결과의 산출을 위하여 실험체와 가압판 경계면에서의 경계조건에 대한주의를 기울일 필요가 있다. 일반적으로 철제로 된 일체형 가압판의 사용시 실험체의 경계면과 하중재하판사이에서 발생하는 마찰저항으로 인하여 실험체 경계부에서부터 응력회전 현상이 발생하여 경계면에서부터 작용하는 외력의 방향은 회전하게 된다. 이와 같은 실험체/하중재하판 경계면 사이에서 발생하는 마찰저항을 감소시키기 위하여 다양한 방법이 제시되었다. 그 중 대표적인 예가 빗살구조의 하중재하판이다. 본 논문에서는 빗살구조의 하중재하판의 단점을 극복하고 하중재하판의 공간이 상대적으로 덜 차지하는 롤러로 지지된 피스톤 형태의 하중재하판을 소개하고 있다. 롤러로 지지된 피스톤 형태의 하중재하판은 지지강성이 충분한 짧은 피스톤 후면에 샤프트 형태의 롤러를 설치하여 실험체의 변형과 동시에 각 피스톤이 동반하여 거동하도록 구성되었다. 본 논문에서는 롤러 지지된 피스톤의 구조 상세 및 요구되는 기능에 대한 검증을 위하여 측면부 마찰저항 실험과 이축압축 실험이 수행되었으며 실험결과와 수치해석 결과의 비교를 통하여 장비의 적용성에 대한 검증이 이루어 졌다.

Two different strength types of plain concrete plate specimens (200$\times$200$\times$60mm) were tested under different biaxial load combinations. The specimens were subjected to biaxial combinations covering the three regions of compression-compression, compression-tension, and tension-tension. The loading platens with Teflon pads were used to reduce a confining effect in boundary surface between the concrete specimen and the solid platen. The principal deformations in the specimens were recorded, and the failure modes along with each stress ratio were examined. Based on the strength data, the failure envelops were developed for each type of plain concrete. The biaxial stress-strain responses of concrete plate specimens for three biaxial loading regions were also plotted. The test data indicated that the strength of concrete under biaxial compression ($f_2 / f_1$$_1$=-1/-1) is about 17 percent larger than under uniaxial compression.
