The size-dependent behavior of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) embedded in the elastic medium and subjected to the initial axial force is investigated using the mixed finite element method. The SWCNT is assumed to be Euler-Bernoulli beam incorporating nonlocal theory developed by Eringen. The mixed finite element model shows its great advantage of dealing with nonlocal behavior of SWCNT subjected to a concentrated load owing to the existence of two coefficients ${\alpha}_1$ and ${\alpha}_2$. This is the first numerical approach to deal with a puzzling fact of nonlocal theory with concentrated load. Numerical examples are performed to show the accuracy and efficiency of the present method. In addition, parametric study is carefully carried out to point out the influences of nonlocal effect, the elastic medium, and the initial axial force on the behavior of the carbon nanotubes.

In this study, the seismic performance of RC school buildings which were not designed according to earthquake-resistance design code were evaluated by using response spectrum and push-over analyses. The torsional amplification effect due to plan irregularity is considered and then the efficiency of seismic retrofitting methods such as RC shear wall, steel frame, RC frame and PC wing wall was investigated. The analysis result indicate that the inter-story drift concentrated in the first floor and most plastic hinge forms at the column of the first story. Among the retrofitting methods, the PC wing wall has the highest seismic performance in strength and story drift aspect. Especially, it can make building ductile behavior due to the concentrated inter-story drift at the first column hinge is distributed overall stories. The axial force, shear force and moment magnitude of existing elements significantly decreased after retrofitting. However, the axial and shear force of the elements connected to the additional retrofitting elements increased, and especially the boundary columns at the end of the retrofitting shear wall should be reinforced for assuring the enhancement of seismic performance.

Functionally graded material (FGM) illustrates a novel class of composites that consists of a graded pattern of material composition. FGM is engineered to have a continuously varying spatial composition profile. Current work focused on buckling analysis of beam made of stepwise linear and quadratic graded material in axial direction subjected to axial span-load with piecewise function and rested on shear layer based on classical beam theory. The various boundary and natural conditions including simply supported (S-S), pinned - clamped (P-C), axial hinge - pinned (AH-P), axial hinge - clamped (AH-C), pinned - shear hinge (P-SHH), pinned - shear force released (P-SHR), axial hinge - shear force released (AH-SHR) and axial hinge - shear hinge (AH-SHH) are considered. To the best of the author's knowledge, buckling behavior of this kind of Euler-Bernoulli beams has not been studied yet. The equilibrium differential equation is derived by minimizing total potential energy via variational calculus and solved analytically. The boundary conditions, natural conditions and deformation continuity at concentrated load insertion point are expressed in matrix form and nontrivial solution is employed to calculate first buckling loads and corresponding mode shapes. By increasing truncation order, the relative error reduction and convergence of solution are observed. Fast convergence and good compatibility with various conditions are advantages of the proposed method. A MATLAB code is provided in appendix to employ the numerical procedure based on proposed method.

The dynamic stability of spinning beam with free boundary conditions for both edges subjected to a tip follower force $P_0+P_1cos{\Omega}t$ is analyzed. It is studied that the beam has a concentrated mass. and then the effects of the axial locations of the mass are studied. The beam is modelled with the Timoshenko type shear deformations. The Hamilton's principle is used to derive the equations of motion, and the critical spinning speed of a beam subjected to a follower force with various non-dimensional parameters is investigated. The finite elements are used with $C^0$ continuity to analyze the spinning beam model, and the method of multiple scales is tried to investigate the dynamic instability regions. The governing equations of motion involve periodic coefficients, which are not in the form of standard Mathieu-Hill equations. The result shows that the concentrated mass increases the dynamic stability of the spinning free-free beam subjected to a thrust.

The compression toe of structural wall is designed to resist the axial compression and shear force caused by wind or earthquake. The performance of shear wall used in tall building is highly influenced by combined shear and axial force. For this reason, it is possible to result in local brittle failure because of concentrated damage in the potential plastic hinge region under severe earthquake. Thus, it is necessary to establish the lateral confinement details at the plastic hinge of shear wall so that shear wall can behave a ductile manner, The objective of this study is to evaluate the seismic performance of L-shaped walls with different confinement details. For this purpose, three wall specimens were tested experimentally and also analyzed using Nonlinear FEM package.

The force transfer mechanism in positive moment continuity details for prestressed concrete girder bridges is investigated in this paper using a three-dimensional detailed finite element model. Positive moment reinforcement in the form of hairpin bars as recommended by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report No 519 is incorporated in the model. The cold construction joint that develops at the interface between girder ends and continuity diaphragms is also simulated via contact elements. The model is then subjected to the positive moment and corresponding shear forces that would develop over the service life of the bridge. The stress distribution in the continuity diaphragm and the axial force distribution in the hairpin bars are presented. It was found that due to the asymmetric configuration of the hairpin bars, asymmetric stress distribution develops at the continuity diaphragm, which can be exacerbated by other asymmetric factors such as skewed bridge configurations. It was also observed that when the joint is subjected to a positive moment, the tensile force is transferred from the girder end to the continuity diaphragm only through the hairpin bars due to the lack of contact between the both members at the construction joint. As a result, the stress distribution at girder ends was found to be concentrated around the hairpin bars influence area, rather than be resisted by the entire girder composite section. Finally, the results are used to develop an approach for estimating the cracking moment capacity at girder ends based on a proposed effective moment of inertia.

The effects of weight and axial inertia of a beam are taken into account for studying the nonlinear vibration of the Timoshenko beam due to external loads. The combination of Galerkins method and Runge-Kutta method are employed to obtain the dynamic responses of the beam. A concentrated force and a two-axle vehicle traversing on the beam are taken as two examples to investigate the response characteristics of the beam. Results show that the effect of axial inertia of the beam increases the fundamental period of the beam. Further, both the dynamic deflection and the dynamic moment of the beam obtained with including the effect of axial inertia of the beam are greater than those of the beam without including that effect of the beam.

임플란트 골유착의 성공과 임플란트 안정성에서 가장 중요한 것은 골의 양과 질이며 안정성을 평가하는 방법 중 하나인 주입회전력도 골질에 영향을 받는다. 임플란트를 식립할 때 모터에서 생긴 힘이 임플란트에 전달되면 임플란트는 회전력(moment)과 축력(axial force)을 갖게 되고 임플란트와 접촉한 골에서는 절삭과 압박 그리고 마찰이 일어나 응력이 생기는데 이 때 측정되는 주입회전력(insertion torque)은 골질에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 임플란트를 하악 소구치 부위 골에 식립하는 것을 가정하여 골질을 치밀골의 두께와 망상골의 밀도 그리고 하방 치밀골 존재 시로 나누고, 골의 응력과 변위를 소탄성 범위의 유한요소법으로 분석하고 유효응력(von Mises stress)과 회전력 그리고 축력을 비교 연구하여 골질이 주입 회전력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 임플란트($Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII.RP, ${\phi}3.75{\times}10.0mm$, Nobel Biocare, $G{\ddot{o}}teborg$, Sweden) 와 원통형 골모형(${\phi}9.5{\times}12.0mm$)의 유한요소 모형을 설계하고 변수로 상부 치밀골의 두께(0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm)와 치밀골 하부에 망상골의 밀도($0.85g/cm^3$, $1.11g/cm^3$, $1.25g/cm^3$) 그리고 골모형 하부에 1 mm 두께의 치밀골 유무에 따라 총 7개의 모형을 만들었으며, 임플란트가 식립될 때 발생하는 유효응력과 축력 그리고 회전력을 시간대 별로 비교하였다. 임플란트 플랜지 하연이 골의 상부를 파고드는 300 msec, 중간 정도 들어간 550 msec, 완전히 들어가 플랜지 상면이 골 표면과 일치한 800 msec로 나누어 관찰하였을 때 축력은 500 msec 전후에서, 회전력은 800 msec 전후에서 최대값를 보였으며 유효응력 분포는 서로 비슷하였다. 이 같은 실험 결과를 바탕으로 축력을 영역 별로 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트는 플랜지가 골을 파고들 때 축력이 치밀 골에서 가장 높았고, 회전력은 플랜지가 골상부에 걸리어 축력이 급격히 감소한 이후에 최대 회전력을 보였으며, 이 때 유효응력 분포는 플랜지와 접촉하는 골 상부에 집중되었다. 2. 임플란트 식립 시 치밀골의 두께가 두꺼울수록 축력과 회전력이 높게 나타났으며 치밀골의 두께가 축력과 회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 3. 치밀골의 두께가 1.5 mm 이상인 경우 망상 골의 밀도가 축력에 미치는 영향은 작았고, 치밀골의 두께가 0.5 mm인 경우 망상골의 밀도가 축력과 회전력에 영향이 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 4. 양측 피질골 존재 시 축력의 합은 상부 피질골의 두께가 같은 다른 경우와 비슷하였으나 부위별 촉력은 골하부에서 양측 피질골 모형이 가장 높았고, 회전력은 하방 피질골과 접촉할 때는 피질골 두께가 같은 다른 모형보다 다소 높으나 최대 회전력은 비슷하였다. 위 결과를 토대로 하악 소구치 부위에 $Br{\aa}nemark$ MKIII 임플란트 식립 시 골질과 관련된 요소 중에 치밀골의 두께가 주입회전력에 가장 큰 영향을 주며 망상골의 밀도를 높이는 술식도 일차적 안정성 증가에 유용할 것으로 사료되는 바이다.

일반적으로 RC 보 부재는 휨 부재로서 휨 하중에 대해서만 고려하여 설계된다. 하지만, 실제 건축물에서는 부재 간의 연속성으로 인해 축력과 휨 하중을 동시에 받게 된다. 이로 인해 RC 보 부재의 휨 강도는 증가하지만, 변위는 감소하며, 균열은 주로 보의 중앙부에 집중되게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축력과 휨 하중을 동시에 받는 RC 보 부재에 탄소섬유시트를 이용한 보강에 따른 휨 성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 탄소섬유시트는 부재의 중앙부에 감싸 보강을 하였으며, 축력과 휨 하중을 부재에 가력하였다. 축력의 크기와 탄소섬유시트 보강에 따른 철근콘크리트 부재의 파괴 형태, 휨 강도, 처짐 및 연성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 축력의 증가에 따라 최대 휨 강도의 상승이 발생하였지만, 연성은 최대 64%까지 감소하였다. 탄소섬유시트 보강을 통해 휨 강도는 최대 27% 증가하였으며, 휨에 의한 보의 최대 처짐은 8% 감소하였으며 연성은 최대 43% 증가하였다.

In this paper an analytical model in a closed form able to reproduce the monotonic flexural response of external RC beam-column joints with smooth rebars is presented. The column is subjected to a constant vertical load and the beam to a monotonically increasing lateral force applied at the tip. The model is based on the flexural behavior of the beam and the column determined adopting a concentrated plasticity hinge model including slippage of the main reinforcing bars of the beam. A simplified bilinear moment-axial force domain is assumed to derive the ultimate moment associated with the design axial force. For the joint, a simple truss model is adopted to predict shear strength and panel distortion. Experimental data recently given in the literature referring to the load-deflection response of external RC joints with smooth rebars are utilized to validate the model, showing good agreement. Finally, the proposed model can be considered a useful instrument for preliminary static verification of existing external RC beam-column joints with smooth rebars for both strength and ductility verification.
