This research experimentally evaluated the local stress distribution along the cross-section of composite beams under both positive and negative moments. The experiment utilized a large-scale, two-story, two-by-three bay steel gravity frame with a concrete on metal deck floor system. The composite shear connections, which are nominally assumed to be pinned under gravity loading, can develop non-negligible moment-resisting capacity when subjected to lateral loads. This paper discusses the local stress distribution, orshear lag effects, observed near the beam-to-column connections when subjected to combined gravity and lateral loading. Strain gauges were used for measurements along the beam depth at varying distances from the connection. The experimental data showed amplified shear lag effects near the unconnected region of the beam web and bottom flange under the applied loading conditions. These results indicate that strain does not vary linearly across the beam cross-section adjacent to the connection components. This insight has implications for the use of experimental strain gauge data in estimating beam demands near the connections. These findings can be beneficial in informing instrumentation plans for future experimental studies on composite beams.

We optimized the design of the flat encapsulant of a light-emitting diode (LED) package to obtain higher light output power (LOP), both by experiment and simulation using three-dimensional ray-tracing software. In the experiment, the refractive index of the encapsulant was varied (1.41 and 1.53). In addition, double-layer structures with these refractive indices (1.41/1.53) were investigated by varying the shape of the interface between the two among flat, concave, and convex. The experiments showed that the LOP of the double-layer encapsulant with convex interface increased by 13.4% compared to the single-layer encapsulant with a refractive index 1.41, which was explained by the increase of the light extraction efficiency (LEE) in connection with the increase of the critical angle (${\theta}_c$) and the decrease of the Fresnel reflection.

Semi-rigid connections are the actual behavior of beam-to-column connections in steel frames. However, the behavior of semi-rigid connections is not taken into account for the simplicity in the conventional analysis and design of steel frames. A computer-based analysis and design has been studied for the three-dimensional steel frames with semi-rigid connections. The nonlinear analysis which includes the effects of the flexibility of connections is used for this study. It is designed according to the buckling and combined stress constraints under the present loading after the joint deformations and the member end forces of the space frame are determined by the stiffness matrix method. The semi-rigid connection type is limited to the top and bottom angles with a double web angle connection. The Frye-Morris polynomial model is used to describe the non-linear behavior of semi-rigid connections. Various design examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method. The results of design and analysis of unbraced semi-rigid frames are compared to the results of unbraced rigid frames under the same design requirements.

Tapered concrete filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns have been used in China for structures such as electricity transmission towers. In practice, the bearing capacity related to the connection details on the top of the column is not fully understood. In this paper, the experimental behaviour of tapered CFDST stub columns subjected to axial partial compression is reported, sixteen specimens with top endplate and ten specimens without top endplate were tested. The test parameters included: (1) tapered angle, (2) top endplate thickness, and (3) partial compression area ratio. Test results show that the tapered CFDST stub columns under axial partial compression behaved in a ductile manner. The axial partial compressive behaviour and the failure modes of the tapered CFDST stub columns were significantly influenced by the parameters investigated. Finally, a simple formula for predicting the cross-sectional capacity of the tapered CFDST sections under axial partial compression is proposed.

본 연구에서는 국내 내진설계기준에 의해 중간모멘트골조로 설계된 철골 모멘트접합부에서 면외방향 어긋남을 갖는 보가 접합부의 거동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 기둥을 중심으로 보가 접합되는 형식에 따라 2가지 경우(단면접합 및 양면접합)와 각각의 경우에 대하여 4개 수준의 어긋남 각도(0°, 10°, 20°, 30°)를 조합하여 총 14개의 유한요소해석 모델을 구성하였다. 해석결과, 면외 어긋남을 갖는 대상 모멘트접합부는 국내 구조기준에 따른 중간모멘트골조의 성능수준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 면외 어긋남 각도가 커질수록 접합부 시스템의 하중저항능력이 감소하였다. 면외 어긋남 각도가 30°인 접합부에서 보-기둥이 직교된 접합부에 비하여 최대 하중은 약 13% 감소하였고, 층간 변위각 0.02 rad까지의 에너지 소산능력은 최대 26% 감소하였다. 또한, 어긋남 형상에 기인하여 접합부와 인접한 보 플랜지에서 응력이 비대칭으로 분포되며, 보 플랜지와 기둥 플랜지가 예각을 이루는 내측 플랜지(Inner Flange)에 응력이 집중되었다. 본 연구에서 고려한 보-기둥 접합에서는 어긋난 보에 의해 기둥의 축방향 회전에 미치는 영향은 미미하여 무시할 만 하였다.

In this paper, a nonlinear model is developed using the component method in order to represent the response of steel connections under various loading conditions and temperature variations. The model is capable of depicting the behaviour of a number of typical connection types including endplate forms (extended and flush) and angle configurations (double web, top and seat, and combined top-seat-web) in both steel and composite framed structures. The implementation is undertaken within the finite element program ADAPTIC, which accounts for material and geometric nonlinearities. Verification of the proposed connection model is carried out by comparing analytical simulations with available results of isolated joint tests for the ambient case, and isolated joint as well as sub-frame tests for elevated temperature conditions. The findings illustrate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed model in capturing the stiffness and strength properties of connections, hence highlighting the adequacy of the component approach in simulating the overall joint behaviour at elevated temperature.

This paper proposes an active islanding detection method for the BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) with 3-phase inverter which is connected to the AC grid. The proposed method adopts the DDSRF (Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame) PLL (Phase Locked-Loop) so that the independent control of positive-sequence and negative-sequence current is successfully carried out using the detected phase angle information. The islanding state can be detected by sensing the variation of negative-sequence voltage at the PCC (Point of Common Connection) due to the injection of 2-3% negative-sequence current from the BESS. The proposed method provides a secure and rapid detection under the variation of negative-sequence voltage due to the sag and swell. The feasibility of proposed method was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC and experimental analyses with 5kW hardware prototype for the benchmark circuit of islanding detection suggested by IEEE 1547 and UL1741. The proposed method would be applicable for the secure detection of islanding state in the grid-tied Microgrid.

현재 강재 교각-기초 연결부에 대한 국내의 설계기준이 명확히 제시되어 있지 않아 연결부의 합리적이고 경제적인 설계가 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이중 베이스플레이트간의 보강재 역할을 하는 리브의 구조상세 개선을 목적으로 리브의 설계변수에 따른 거동특성을 수치해석적으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 상용유한요소 해석프로그램을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 앵커볼트와 내부철근은 BEAM 요소와 Embeded 기능을 사용하여 구현하였다. 이러한 해석기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 선행연구의 실험결과와 해석결과를 비교하였고, 검증된 해석기법을 이용하여 리브의 다양한 설계변수 (리브의 개수에 따른 간격, 리브의 높이, 리브의 두께)에 따른 강재 교각의 하중-변위 관계를 도출하여 각 설계변수가 전체 구조물에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석한 후 리브의 합리적인 설계 범위를 제안하였다.

Recent studies of the structure of wall turbulence have lead to the development of a conceptual model that validates and integrates many elements of previous models into a relatively simple picture based on self-assembling packets of hairpin vortex eddies. By continual spawning new hairpins the packets grow longer in the streamwise direction, and by mutual induction between adjacent hairpins the hairpins are strained so that they grow taller and wider as they age. The result is a characteristic growth angle in the streamwise-wall normal plane. The spanwise growth of individual packets implies that packets must either merge or pass through each other when they come into contact. Direct numerical simulations of the growth and interaction of spanwise adjacent hairpins shows that they merge by the vortex connection mechanism originally proposed by Wark and Nagib (199). In this mechanism the quasi-streamwise legs of two hairpins annihilate each other, by virtue of having opposite vorticity, leaving a new hairpin of approximately double the width of the individuals. PIV measurements in planes parallel to the wall support this picture. DNS of multiple hairpins shows how the spanwise scale doubles when the hairpins form an array.
