Seismic risk analysis was performed based on the total stress and effective stress of caisson type quay wall and pier type quay wall. In order to consider the effective stress effect, the pore pressure of the ground was distributed, using Byrne(1991) simple formula to estimate parameter and applied to the finn model. Through the results of seismic risk analysis according to the total stress and effective stress analysis method, the necessity of effective stress analysis in the seismic design of the quay wall installed on the soft ground was confirmed.

Effective notch stress, as an approach to evaluate the local stress at a notch (weld toe or root), is defined as the total stress assuming linear-elastic material behavior. This method can be effectively used to evaluate the fatigue performance of welded joints. In this study, finite element analysis results using the effective notch stress method were correlated with fatigue test results of rib-to-deck welded joints in a steel orthotropic bridge deck. Effective notch stress approach provided a good correlation with the crack pattern observed in the full-scale fatigue test. A higher effective notch stress at the critical weld toe than at the weld root was consistent with the dominant crack pattern observed at the weld toe during testing. The effective notch stress at the toe on the deck plate was about 80% higher than that on the rib; no cracks at the weld toe on the rib in the testing were observed. Maximum effective notch stress at the weld root occurred on the upper side of the root notch, which indicates that cracks are more likely to propagate into the deck plate, not into the weld metal. This is also consistent with the observed crack pattern in which the crack from the root propagated upward into the deck plate. No such crack pattern, propagating into the weld metal, was observed in the testing.

An actual slope failure was analyzed in residual soils at Jinju. Due to rainfall infiltration, the safety factor decreases in the unsaturated layers, since the effective stress and shear strength decrease. In this study, the effective stress is based on suction stress using soil water retention curve. Unsaturated properties were evaluated on soil water retention curve, hydraulic conductivity and shear strength with samples from the site. After infiltration analysis of unsaturated flow under the actual rainfall, the distribution of pore water pressure could be calculated in the slope layers. In the stress field of finite elements, an elastic analysis calculated total stress distribution in the layers and also shear stresses on the slip surface using elastic model. On the slip surface, suction stress and effective stress evaluated the shear strength. As a result, the factor of safety was calculated due to rainfall, which could simulate the actual slope failure. In particular, it was found that the suction stress increases and both the effective stress and the shear strength decrease simultaneously on the slip surface.

It is of importance to determine the zero effective stress void ratio($e_{00}$), which is the void ratio at effective stress equal to zero, and the relationships of void ratio-effective stress and of void ratio-hydraulic conductivity for characterizing non-liner finite strain consolidation behavior for ultra-soft dredged materials. The zero effective stress void ratio means a transitional status from sedimentation to self-weight consolidation of very soft soil deposits, and acts as a starting point for self-weight consolidation in the non-linear finite strain numerical analysis such as PSDDF. In this paper, a new method for determining the zero effective stress void ratio has been introduced with the aid of measuring electrical resistivity of the specimen. A correlation between the zero effective stress void ratio and the initial slurry void ratio has been proposed, which can be used in PSDDF analysis as an input parameter. Combining all of the accessible experimental data, the consolidation characteristics of a dredged soil from the Incheon area has been studied in detail.

The design of the prestressed cold extrusion die with two stress rings has been performed in this study. The cold extrusion has been simulated by the rigid-plastic FEM. The stress analysis of die has been performed for both after shrink fitting and during extrusion by using the elastic FEM and the Lame's equation. According to the variation of interferences and diameter ratios, the maximum effective stress has been evaluated. As results, interferences and diameters were determined by the minimization of the maximum effective stress of die insert. The comparison of the maximum effective stress between the proposed design and the conventional design has been discussed. It was found that the maximum effective stress in the die insert is considerably affected by the stiffness of the first stress ring.

In this study, in order to analyze the crack retardation behaviors, effective plastic zone concept was proposed. By use of the proposed concept, crack retardation period, compressive residual stress and variation of effective plastic zone shapes were obtained. The results were compared with those of Willenborg model. Retardation period, compressive residual stress and effective plastic zone size obtained by using effective plastic zone concept were larger then the results obtained by using Willenborg analysis. Effective stress intensity factors obtained by using effective plastic zone concept were smaller then the results obtained by using Willenborg analysis.

A comparative study of stress distributions in the maxillary bone with three different types of abutment was conducted. Finite element analysis was adopted to determine stress generated in the bone with the different implant systems with micro threads (Onebody type implant, Internal type implant, and External type implant). It was found that the types of abutments and the number of micro threads have significant influence on the stress distribution in the maxillary bone. They were due to the difference in the load transfer mechanism and the size of contact area between abutment and fixture. Also the maximum effective stress in the maxillary bone was increased with increasing inclination angle of load. It was concluded that the maximum effective stress in the bone was the lowest by the internal implant among the maximum effective stresses by other two types of implants and by appropriate number of micro threads, and that the specific number of micro thread was existed to decrease the maximum effective stress in the maxillary bone due to different implant systems and loading conditions.

For the assessment of the retardation of fatigue crack propagation behavior due to overload, new FE analysis algorithms considering compressive residual stress redistribution near crack tip was proposed in this paper. The size of plastic zone near crack tip was obtained by elasto-plastic analysis and it was compared with Irwin's equation. The amount of residual stress redistribution was assessed by subsequent elasto-plastic analysis, and the difference of residual stress distributions between constant amplitude load and overload was obtained. In the analysis of fatigue crack propagation, the applied SIF range was evaluated by ASTM E647, and the effect of residual stresses on crack propagation was considered using the effective SIF concept. The test results of crack propagations were compared with the predicted data obtained by the analysis.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the axial residual stress in multi-pass drawn high carbon steel wire by using FE analysis and XRD. When FE analysis is applied to evaluate the residual stress in drawn wire of multi-pass drawing process, obtaining the reliable effective stress-strain curve at high strain is very important. In this study, a model, which can express the reliable effective stress-strain curve at high strain, is introduced based on the Bridgman correction and tensile test for multi-pass drawn high carbon steel wires. By using the introduced model, FE analysis was carried out to evaluate the axial residual stress in the drawn wires. Finally, the effectiveness of the FE analysis with the introduced stress-strain relation was verified by the measurement of residual stress in the drawn wires through XRD. As a result, the evaluated residual stress of FE analysis shows good agreement with the measured residual stress.

In the analysis of the static cone penetration resistance or the point resistance of end bearing piles, the vertical effective stress has been chosen as the reference stress. However many reported experimental results indicate that the cone tip resistance is dependent rather on the in -situ horzontal stress than the vertical effective stress. To clarify this point, published experimental results have been re-evaluated and the laboratory penetration tests have been performed. From the results it is concluded that the cone tip resistance is influenced by both the vertical effective stress and the horizontal effective stress. It is further concluded that the mean normal stress should be used as the reference stress in the analysis.
