Fastening systems have a significant role in the response of railway slab track systems. Although experimental tests indicate nonlinear behavior of fastening systems, they have been simulated as a linear spring-dashpot element in the available literature. In this paper, the influence of the nonlinear behavior of fastening systems on the slab track response was investigated. In this regard, a nonlinear model of vehicle/slab track interaction, including two commonly used fastening systems (i.e., RFFS and RWFS), was developed. The time history of excitation frequency of the fastening system was derived using the short time Fourier transform. The model was validated, using the results of a comprehensive field test carried out in this study. The frequency response of the track was studied to evaluate the effect of excitation frequency on the railway track response. The results obtained from the model were compared with those of the conventional linear model of vehicle/slab track interaction. The effects of vehicle speed, axle load, pad stiffness, fastening preload on the difference between the outputs obtained from the linear and nonlinear models were investigated through a parametric study. It was shown that the difference between the results obtained from linear and nonlinear models is up to 38 and 18 percent for RWFS and RFFS, respectively. Based on the outcomes obtained, a nonlinear to linear correction factor as a function of vehicle speed, vehicle axle load, pad stiffness and preload was derived. It was shown that consideration of the correction factor compensates the errors caused by the assumption of linear behavior for the fastening systems in the currently used vehicle track interaction models.

The mechanical and rheological properties of agricultural materials are important for engineering design and analysis of their mechanical harvesting, handling, transporting and processing systems. Agricultural materials, which composed of structural members and fluids do not react in a purely elastic manner, and their response when subjected to stress and strain is a combination of elastic and viscous behavior so called viscoelastic behavior. Many researchers have conducted studies on the mechanical and rheological properties of the various agricultural products, but a few researcher has studied those properties of rice plant, and also those data are available only for foreign varieties of rice plant. This study are conducted to experimentally determine the mechanical and the rheological properties such as axial compressive strength, tensile strength, bending and shear strength, stress relaxation and creep behavior of rice stems, and grain detachment strength. The rheological models for the rice stem were developed from the test data. The shearing characteristics were examined at some different levels of portion, cross-sectional area, moisture content of rice stem and shearing angle. The results obtained from this study were summarized as follows 1. The mechanical properties of the stems of the J aponica types were greater than those of the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid in compression, tension, bendingand shearing. 2. The mean value of the compressive force was 80.5 N in the Japonica types and 55.5 N in the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid which was about 70 percent to that of the Japonica types, and then the value increased progressively at the lower portion of the stems generally. 3. The average tensile force was about 226.6 N in the Japonica types and 123.6 N in the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid which was about 55 percent to that of the Japonica types. 4. The bending moment was $0.19N{\cdot}m$ in the Japonica types and $0.13N{\cdot}m$ in the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid which was 68 percent to that of the Japonica types and the bending strength was 7.7 MPa in the Japonica types and 6.5 MPa in the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid respectively. 5. The shearing force was 141.1 N in Jinju, the Japonica type and 101.4 N in Taebaeg, the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid which was 72 percent to that of Jinju, and the shearing strength of Taebaeg was 63 percent to that of Jinju. 6. The shearing force and the shearing energy along the stem portion in Jinju increased progressively together at the lower portions, meanwhile in Taebaeg the shearing force showed the maximum value at the intermediate portion and the shearing energy was the greatest at the portion of 21 cm from the ground level, and also the shearing strength and the shearing energy per unit cross-sectional area of the stem were the greater values at the intermediate portion than at any other portions. 7. The shearing force and the shearing energy increased with increase of the cross-sectional area of the rice stem and with decrease of the shearing angie from $90^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$. 8. The shearing forces showed the minimum values of 110 N at Jinju and of 60 N at Taebaeg, the shearing energy at the moisture content decreased about 15 percent point from initial moisture content showed value of 50 mJ in Jinju and of 30 mJ in Taebaeg, respectively. 9. The stress relaxation behavior could be described by the generalized Maxwell model and also the compression creep behavior by Burger's model, respectively in the rice stem. 10. With increase of loading rate, the stress relaxation intensity increased, meanwhile the relaxation time and residual stress decreased. 11. In the compression creep test, the logarithmic creep occured at the stress less than 2.0 MPa and the steady-state creep at the stress larger than 2.0 MPa. 12. The stress level had not a significant effect on the relaxation time, while the relaxation intensity and residual stress increased with increase of the stress level. 13. In the compression creep test of the rice stem, the instantaneous elastic modulus of Burger's model showed the range of 60 to 80 MPa and the viscosities of the free dashpot were very large numerical value which was well explained that the rice stem was viscoelastic material. 14. The tensile detachment forces were about 1.7 to 2.3 N in the Japonica types while about 1.0 to 1.3 N in Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid corresponding to 58 percent of Japonica types, and the bending detachment forces were about 0.6 to 1.1 N corresponding to 30 to 50 percent of the tensile detachment forces, and the bending detachment of the Indica ${\times}$ Japonica hybrid was 0.1 to 0.3 N which was 7 to 21 percent of Japonica types. 15. The detachment force of the lower portion was little bigger than that of the upper portion in a penicle and was not significantly affected by the harvesting period from September 28 to October 20. 16. The tensile and bending detachment forces decreased with decrease of the moisture content from 23 to 13 percent (w.b.) by the natural drying, and the decreasing rate of detachment forces along the moisture content was the greater in the bending detachment force than the tensile detachment force.

지속하중하(持續荷重下)의 점토지반(粘土地盤) 또는 사면(斜面)을 형성(形成)하고 있는 점토(粘土)는 시간의존변형(時間依存變形)을 일으키고 어떤 경우 파괴(破壞)에 이르기도 하는데 그 원인(原因)은 점토(粘土)의 Creep 거동(擧動) 때문이라는 보고(報告)가 대부분(大部分)이다. Creep 거동(擧動)은 많은 요소(要素)에 관련될 뿐 아니라 특(特)히 함수비(含水比) 및 응력수준(應力水準)에 큰 영향(影響)을 받기 때문에 매우 복잡(複雜)하며 따라서 그 거동(擧動)을 해석(解析) 하기도 어려운 일인데 Creep이 궁극적(窮極的)으로는 점토(粘土) 입자간(粒子間)의 미시적(微視的)인 거동(擧動)에서 비롯되기 때문이다. 응력(應力)-변형(變形)-시간(時間) 관계(關係)로서의 Creep 거동(擧動)을 수학적(數學的)으로 표현(表現)하기 위하여 여러 형태(形態)의 유변학적(流變學的) 모델이 제안(提案) 되었다. 유변학적(流變學的) 모델은 선형(線形) 스프링, 비선형(非線形) Dashpot 및 Slider를 조합(組合)한 것인데 점토(粘土)의 변형(變形)에 관한 탄성적(彈性的), 소성적(塑性的) 및 점성적(粘性的) 성분(成分)을 구분(區分) 하는데 매우 유용(有用)하다. 그러나 대부분(大部分)의 경우, 유변학적(流變學的)모델은 포화(飽和)된 점토(粘土)에 대(對)하여 주(主)로 2차압밀(次壓密) 거동(擧動)을 밝히기 위하여 제안(提案)된 것으로 비포화점토(非飽和粘土)에 대(對)한 보고(報告)는 매우 드문 것 같다. 한편, Creep 거동(擧動)은 시간의존변형(時間依存變形)이므로 흐트러진 점토(粘土)를 다져서 시험(試驗)하는 경우, 시간경과(時間經過)에 따라 Thixotropy 문제(問題)가 제기(提起)될 것이고 배수조건(排水條件)과 관련하여서는 공시체(供試體)의 높이가 문제(問題)될 수 있다. 그뿐 아니라 많은 연구결과(硏究結果)에 의(依)하면 응력증가초기(應力增加初期)에는 시간지체(時間遲滯)가 없는 초기탄성변형(初期彈性變形)이 발생(發生)된다고 하므로 유변학적(流變學的) 모델에는 이를 나타내는 요소(要素)가 반드시 필요(必要)하게 될 것이다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)는 이러한 면(面)에 초점(焦點)을 두고 함수비(含水比)와 응력수준(應力水準)을 여러 가지로 변화(變化)시켰을 때의 Creep 거동(擧動)을 유변학적(流變學的) 모델로 해석(解析)함에 있어 소성(塑性)이 비교적(比較的) 큰 3종(種)의 점토(粘土)를 사용(使用)하여 초기탄성변형(初期彈性變形) 거동(擧動)을 밝히고 Thixotropy 효과(効果) 및 공시체(供試體)의 높이가 Creep 거동(擧動)에 끼치는 영향(影響)을 구명(究明)하며 아울러 유변학적(流變學的) 모델의 어떤 요소(要素)에 관련 되는가를 알아내기 위하여 다져서 성형(成形)한 공시체(供試體)로서 일축배수형식(一軸排水形式)의 Creep 거동(擧動)을 시행(施行)하였다. 실험결과(實驗結果) 및 검토(檢討)에 의(依)하면 응력재하(應力載荷) 및 증가초기(增加初期)에는 시간지체(時間遲滯)가 없는 탄성적(彈性的) 초기변형(初期變形)이 발생(發生)하고 따라서 유변학적(流變學的) 모델에는 이를 나타내기 위한 상부(上部)스프링을 설치(設置)해야 하며 Thixotropy 효과(効果)를 고려(考慮)한 경우, Creep변형(變形)은 완만(緩慢)하게 되나 함수비(含水比) 및 응력수준(應力水準)에 따른 상태거동(狀態擧動)은 같으므로 그 차이(差異)는 모델 상수(常數)의 크기에만 관련됨을 알아내었고 따라서 동일(同一)한 유변학적(流變學的) 모델로 그 거동(擧動)을 나타낼 수 있다는 사실(事實)을 밝혀 냈다. 또 공시체(供試體) 높이를 작게 한 경우에는 함수비(含水比)가 비교적(比較的) 작아서 점(粘)-소(塑)-탄성(彈性) 및 점(粘)-탄성(彈性)일 때만 높이가 클 때와 같은 상태거동(狀態擧動)을 나타내어 동일(同一)한 유변학적(流變學的) 모델로 나타낼 수 있고 함수비(含水比)가 큰 점일소성(粘一塑性) 및 점성류(粘性流)일 때는 그 상태거동(狀態擧動)이 배수문제(排水問題)와 관련하여 달라지게 되고 따라서 유변학적(流變學的) 모델도 달라지게 된다는 사실(事實)을 발견(發見) 하였다.
