This article describes the load capability of bending piezoelectric actuators with a thin sandwiched PZT plate in association with the stored elastic energy induced by an increased dome height after a curing process. The stored elastic energy within the actuators is obtained via a flexural mechanical bending test. The load capability is evaluated indirectly in terms of an actuating displacement with a load of mass at simply supported and fixed-free boundary conditions. Additionally, a free displacement under no load of mass is measured for a comparison with an actuating displacement. The results reveal that an actuator with a top layer having a high elastic modulus and a low coefficient of thermal expansion exhibits a better performance than the rest of actuators in terms of free displacement as well as actuating displacement due to the formation of the large stored elastic energy within the actuator system. When actuators are excited at AC voltage, the actuating displacement is rather higher than the free displacement for the same actuating conditions. In addition, the effect of PZT ceramic softening results in a slight reduction in the resonance frequency of each actuator as the applied electric field increases. It is thus suggested that the static and dynamic actuating characteristics of bending piezoelectric composite actuators with a thin sandwiched PZT plate should be simultaneously considered in controlling the performance.

The piled raft foundation Is an innovative design concept to reduce both the maximum settlement and differential settlements caused by concentrated building loads and load eccentricities, and also to reduce the bending moments of the raft. The main concern given in the design of piled raft foundations is proper judgments both of relative proportions of loads carried by the raft and piles, and of the effect of the pile support on the maximum and differential settlements In the present study, the piled raft foundation used in the foundation system of Richensia Building at Youido, Seoul is introduced and is carried out analyzing the results of field tests such as plate load tests, large plate load test, pile load test, and piled raft load test.

Using the hyperbolic shear deformation plate model and including plate-foundation interaction (Winkler and Pasternak model), an analytical method in order to determine the deflection and stress distributions in simply supported rectangular functionally graded plates (FGP) subjected to a sinusoidal load, a temperature and moisture fields. The present theory exactly satisfies stress boundary conditions on the top and the bottom of the plate. No transversal shear correction factors are needed because a correct representation of the transversal shearing strain is given. Materials properties of the plate (elastic, thermal and moisture expansion coefficients) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Numerical examples are presented and discussed for verifying the accuracy of the present theory in predicting the bending response of FGM plates under sinusoidal load and a temperature field as well as moisture concentration. The effects of material properties, temperature, moisture, plate aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, ratio of elastic coefficients (ceramic-metal) and three distributions for both temperature and moisture on deflections and stresses are investigated.

한국 도로교 설계기준과 AASHTO Standard 설계규준에 규정된 판형교의 윤하중분배계수는 사각의 영향을 고려하지 못하고 있으며, 이에 대한 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 검증된 유한요소해석모델을 이용, 다양한 변수를 고려한 구조해석을 통하여 강판형 사교에 대한 하중분배계수식의 제안을 목적으로 한다. 판형교의 유한요소모델은 현장실험과의 비교분석을 통해 선택되었으며, 이를 이용하여 강판형사교의 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 연구결과 지간은 다른 변수들에 비해 윤하중분배계수에 미치는 영향이 작았고, 가로보와 브레이싱을 사교격자 구조로 설치할 경우 내측거더에서는 하중분배가 향상되며, 브레이싱 타입이 보다 유리한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 해석결과를 바탕으로 회귀분석을 통해서 윤하중분배계수식을 제시하였고, 기존식과 비교검토하였다.

Present disquisition proposes an analytical solution method for exploring the buckling characteristics of porous magneto-electro-elastic functionally graded (MEE-FG) plates with various boundary conditions for the first time. Magneto electro mechanical properties of FGM plate are supposed to change through the thickness direction of plate. The rule of power-law is modified to consider influence of porosity according to two types of distribution namely even and uneven. Pores possibly occur inside FGMs due the result of technical problems that lead to creation of micro-voids in these materials. The variation of pores along the thickness direction influences the mechanical and physical properties. Four-variable tangential-exponential refined theory is employed to derive the governing equations and boundary conditions of porous FGM plate under magneto-electrical field via Hamilton's principle. An analytical solution procedure is exploited to achieve the non-dimensional buckling load of porous FG plate exposed to magneto-electrical field with various boundary condition. A parametric study is led to assess the efficacy of material graduation exponent, coefficient of porosity, porosity distribution, magnetic potential, electric voltage, boundary conditions, aspect ratio and side-to-thickness ratio on the non-dimensional buckling load of the plate made of magneto electro elastic FG materials with porosities. It is concluded that these parameters play remarkable roles on the dynamic behavior of porous MEE-FG plates. The results for simpler states are confirmed with known data in the literature. Presented numerical results can serve as benchmarks for future analyses of MEE-FG plates with porosity phases.

In this paper, a tie-plate shape is optimized by using the numerical technique to reduce the stray load loss of the tie-plate which is a mechanical structure for assembling and supporting of the transformer core. The eddy current loss of the structure is calculated by an electromagnetic field FEM program and the results are compared with 4 different shapes of tie-plates. Since the thickness of the tie-plate is very thin, and the skin depth is very small, the number of FE elements for 3-D transformer model is too big to solve. So, the surface impedance boundary condition (SIBC) is used to reduce the system matrix size and its computing time. To verify the method a 2.5 MVA 22,900/380V distribution transformer is simulated using one objective function and three design variables with some constraints. The final optimized tie-plate has three slots of 6 mm width and 23 mm gap, and the loss is reduced by 75 %. Consequently, the proposed algorithm seems to be considerably applicable to electric machinery as well as power transformer.

This study is concerned with the stability of laminated composite plates modelled using Eringen's nonlocal differential model (ENDM) and a novel refined-hyperbolic-shear-deformable plate theory. The plate is assumed to be lying on the Pasternak elastic foundation and is under the influence of an in-plane magnetic field. The governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained through Hamilton's principle. An analytical approach considering Navier series is used to fine the critical bucking load. After verifying with existing results for the reduced cases, the present model is then used to study buckling of the laminated composite plate. Numerical results demonstrate clearly for the first time the roles of size effects, magnetic field, foundation parameters, moduli ratio, geometry, lay-up numbers and sequences, fiber orientations, and boundary conditions. These results could be useful for designing better composites and can further serve as benchmarks for future studies on the laminated composite plates.

The quality control of compaction fills has been commonly performed via the field density measurement and plate load tests. However, the engineer frequently encounters difficulties in actually controling the quality due to the uncertainty in the field density measurement as well as the plate load tests. To overcome these difficulties, Park et al. (2009) proposed an alternative quality control method based on the measurement of the compressive wave velocities. In this study, the compressive wave velocities measured in the full-scale model test site were analyzed. Direct arrive seismic tests were performed after the completion of each trackbed layer. To identify a relationship between elastic wave velocities and degree of compaction, laboratory compaction tests were conducted.

스티프너가 없는 얇은 강판을 사용한 골조강판벽 시스템에 대한 실험연구를 실시하였다. 1경간 3층의 골조강판벽에 주기횡하중을 재하하였으며, 주요한 실험 변수는 강판의 두께, 기둥의 강도이다. 실험결과를 이용하여 강판벽의 강도, 변형능력, 에너지 소산능력을 연구하였으며, 이를 토대로 골조강판벽의 파괴메카니즘을 분석하였다. 실험결과, 얇은 강판을 사용하는 골조강판벽은, 높은 강도, 낮은 연성능력, 캔틸레버거동특성을 나타내는 일반적인 가새골조나 스티프너 보강된 강판벽과는 여러 면에서 다른 거동특성을 나타낸다. 골조강판벽에서는 강판의 조기국부좌굴과 인장응력장 작용이 발생하면서, 전 층에 고르게 항복변형이 분포된다. 이로 인하여 변형형태는 휨변형과 전단변형의 복합형태를 나타내며, 우수한 강도 및 에너지 소산능력과 연성모멘트 골조에 버금가는 변형능력을 나타내었다. 그러나 일반적인 가새골조와는 달리 보, 기둥 등의 골조부재는 강판의 인장응력장을 지지할 수 있도록 설계되어야 하며, 따라서 기둥의 강도가 작고 콤팩트 단면을 사용하지 않은 경우에는 약층현상이 발생하며 강도가 급격히 저하되었다. 얇은 강판을 사용하는 골조강판벽은 일반적인 가새골조나 스티프너 보강 강판벽과는 차별되는 우수한 변형능력을 갖고 있으므로 연성내진구조시스템으로 활용할 수 있다.
