Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of ankle elastic and non-elastic taping on postural balance and gait ability in subject with stroke. Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: Twenty-seven subjects with stroke participated in this study. The subjects performed to stand quietly for 30s on the balance platform and walking test with three different ankle taping conditions. The sway length, sway area and sway velocity of center of gravity (COG) displacement was measured to assess the postural balance and the timed up and go test, 10m walking test, 6 minutes walking test was measured to assess the gait ability. Repeated measured ANOVA was used to compare the postural balance parameters and gait ability according to three different ankle taping conditions. Results: Postural balance with non-elastic ankle taping was significantly improved compared to no ankle taping and elastic ankle taping condition(p<0.05). On the other hand, gait ability with elastic ankle taping was significantly increased compared to no ankle taping and non-elastic ankle taping condition(p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that an elastic ankle taping could effect to improve the gait ability, whereas a non-elastic ankle taping could effect to improve the postural balance in subject with stroke.

The relationship between fatigue crack growth behavior and cyclic crack tip opening displacement is studied. An elastic-plastic finite element analysis (FEA) is performed to examine the growth behavior of fatigue crack, where the contact elements are used in the mesh of the crack tip area. We investigate the relationship between the reversed plastic zone size and the changes of the cyclic crack tip opening displacement along the crack growth. We investigate the effect of the element size when predict fatigue crack opening behavior using the cyclic crack tip opening displacement obtained from FEA. The cyclic crack tip opening displacement is related to fatigue crack opening behavior.

A novel approach for predicting lateral displacement caused by pile installation in anisotropic clay is presented, on the basis of the cylindrical and spherical cavities expansion theory. The K₀-based modified Cam-clay (K₀-MCC) model is adopted for the K₀-consolidated clay and the process of pile installation is taken as the cavity expansion problem in undrained condition. The radial displacement of plastic region is obtained by combining the cavity wall boundary and the elastic-plastic (EP) boundary conditions. The predicted equations of lateral displacement during single pile and multi-pile installation are proposed, and the hydraulic fracture problem in the vicinity of the pile tip is investigated. The comparison between the lateral displacement obtained from the presented approach and the measured data from Chai et al. (2005) is carried out and shows a good agreement. It is suggested that the presented approach is a useful tool for the design of soft subsoil improvement resulting from the pile installation.

In order to perform the spatial buckling analysis of the curved beam element with nonsymmetric thin-walled cross section, exact static stiffness matrices are evaluated using equilibrium equations and force-deformation relations. Contrary to evaluation procedures of dynamic stiffness matrices, 14 displacement parameters are introduced when transforming the four order simultaneous differential equations to the first order differential equations and 2 displacement parameters among these displacements are integrated in advance. Thus non-homogeneous simultaneous differential equations are obtained with respect to the remaining 8 displacement parameters. For general solution of these equations, the method of undetermined parameters is applied and a generalized linear eigenvalue problem and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices are solved with respect to 12 displacement parameters. Resultantly displacement functions are exactly derived and exact static stiffness matrices are determined using member force-displacement relations. The buckling loads are evaluated and compared with analytic solutions or results by ABAQUS's shell element.

탄성파동방정식에서는 변위가 수직 및 수평방향으로 정의된다. 실제 탐사에서는 수직변위와 수평변위를 모두 측정할 수 있기 때문에 이를 이용하여 방향성을 갖는 변위벡터를 구성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 변위벡터의 크기를 목적함수로 이용하는 주파수 영역 탄성파 파형역산 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 변위벡터 목적함수는 주파수 영역 파형역산 알고리듬에 적용할 경우 기존의 역전파 알고리듬과 동일한 방식으로 역산을 수행할 수 있다. 변위벡터 목적함수를 이용하여 Marmousi 모델과 SEG/EAGE 암염 모델의 합성탄성파 자료를 역산한 결과, 기존의 역산기법에 비해 RMS 오차가 안정적으로 감소하였다. 특히, Marmousi 모델의 밀도와 SEG/EAGE 암염 모델의 암염 하부의 저속도층을 실제 모델에 더 가깝게 구현할 수 있었다. 변위벡터의 크기를 목적함수로 사용할 경우 경사방향이 수치적으로 불안정한 형태로 정의되므로 이를 안정화시키기 위한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안한 변위벡터 목적함수를 이용한 파형역산을 수행하기 위해서는 다성분 탐사자료 획득이 필수적이므로 육상탐사에서의 다성분 탐사나 해저면 다성분탐사(OBC, Ocean Bottom Cable) 등의 연구와 병행되어야 할 것이다.

집중호우는 사면의 붕괴와 사회 기반시설물의 파괴 등을 포함하는 다수의 재해를 유발한다. 이러한 관점에서 강우재현 원심모형실험은 지반구조물의 안정성을 평가하기 위한 합리적인 수단이 될 수 있다. 원심모형실험에서 모형의 변위를 취득하기 위하여 일반적으로 LVDT 또는 레이저 변위계가 사용된다. 그러나 강우모사 시 LVDT는 모형지반으로의 과다 침윤의 문제가 있으며, 레이저 변위계는 레이저의 산란에 의해 계측치의 정확성이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강우재현 원심모형실험에 적용하기 위한 수평변위 계측장치를 개발하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 탄성의 박철판과 스트레인 게이지를 이용하여 제작된 본 장치는 관입을 위한 말단부를 고정시켜 수행한 검정 결과로부터 정확한 변위-변형률 관계를 나타냄을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 직접변위기반 설계법에 의하여 철근콘크리트 기둥이 목표변위에 도달하도록 하는 보강설계를 수행하였다. 철근콘크리트 기둥의 비선형 거동은 등가 선형 시스템으로 단순화하여 해석한다. 먼저 목표변위를 결정하고, 단자유도 시스템의 등가고유주기를 추정하기 위하여 탄성 변위스펙트럼을 작성하였다. 고유주기가 결정되면 시스템의 질량을 근거로 강성을 이용하여 요구강도를 계산한다. 이후 비선형 층상화 단면해석을 통해 얻어진 하중-변위관계에 따라 요구강도를 만족하는 보강설계를 수행하였다. 비선형 층상화 단면해석 프로그램을 개발하고 보강설계 절차를 제안하였으며 이를 적용한 결과, 보강설계를 통해 보강한 철근콘크리트 기둥은 보강하지 않은 기둥과 비교하여 내진 성능이 향상 된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Structural pipe-in-pipe cross-sections have significant potential for application in offshore oil and gas production systems because of their property that combines insulation performance with structural strength in an integrated way. Such cross-sections comprise inner and outer thin walled pipes with the annulus between them fully filled by a selectable thick filler material to impart an appropriate combination of properties. Structural pipe-in-pipe cross-sections can exhibit several different collapse mechanisms and the basis of the preferential occurrence of one over others is of interest. This paper presents an elastic analyses of a structural pipe-in-pipe cross-section when subjected to external hydrostatic pressure. It formulates and solves the static and elastic buckling problem using the variational principle of minimum potential energy. The paper also investigates a simplified formulation of the problem where the outer pipe and its contact with the filler material is considered as a 'pipe on an elastic foundation'. Results are presented to show the variation of elastic buckling pressure with the relative elastic modulus of the filler and pipe materials, the filler thickness and the thicknesses of the inner and outer pipes. The range of applicability of the simplified 'pipe on an elastic foundation' analysis is also presented. A brief review of the types of materials that could be used as the filler is combined with the results of the analysis to draw conclusions about elastic buckling behaviour of structural pipe-in-pipe cross-sections.

In this paper, the wave propagation in a generalized thermo elastic plate embedded in an elastic medium (Winkler model) is studied based on the Lord-Schulman (LS) and Green-Lindsay (GL) generalized two dimensional theory of thermo elasticity. Two displacement potential functions are introduced to uncouple the equations of motion. The frequency equations that include the interaction between the plate and foundation are obtained by the traction free boundary conditions using the Bessel function solutions. The numerical calculations are carried out for the material Zinc and the computed non-dimensional frequency and attenuation coefficient are plotted as the dispersion curves for the plate with thermally insulated and isothermal boundaries. The wave characteristics are found to be more stable and realistic in the presence of thermal relaxation times and the foundation parameter. A comparison of the results for the case with no thermal effects shows well agreement with those by the membrane theory.

Differential transform method (DTM) for free vibration analysis of both ends simply supported beam resting on elastic foundation is suggested. The fourth order partial differential equation for free vibration of the beam resting on elastic foundation subjected to bending moment, shear and axial compressive load is obtained by using Winkler hypothesis and small displacement theory. It is assumed that the material is linear-elastic, and that axial load and modulus of subgrade reaction to be constant. In the analysis, shear and axial load effects are considered. The frequency factors of the beam are calculated by using DTM due to the values of relative stiffness; the results are presented in graphs and tables.
