In this paper, the influence of axial compression ratio on the mechanical properties of new type joints of side span of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular column-H-type steel beam is studied. Two new types of side-span joints of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular column-H-type steel beam are designed and quasi-static tests of five new type joints with 1:2 scale reduction ratios are performed. The axial compression ratio of joint JD1 is 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, and the axial compression ratio of joint JD2 is 0.3 and 0.5. In the joint test, different axial forces were applied to the top of the column according to different axial compression ratios, and low-cyclic reciprocating load was applied on the beam. The stress and strain distribution, beam and column deformation, limit state, failure process, failure mechanism, stiffness degradation, ductile deformation and energy dissipation capacity of the joint were measured and analyzed. The results show that: with the increase of axial compression ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of the joint decreases slightly, the plastic deformation decreases, and the stiffness and ductility decrease. According to the energy dissipation curve of the specimen, the equivalent damping coefficient also increases with the increase of axial compression ratio in a certain range, indicating that the increase of axial compression ratio can improve the seismic performance of the joint to a certain extent. The finite element method is used to simulate the joint test, and the test results are in good agreement with the simulation results.

Characterization tests (load vs. displacement curve) are conducted for the springs of Zirconium alloy spacer grids for an advanced LWR fuel assembly. Twofold testing is employed: strap-based and assembly-based tests. The assembly-based test satisfies the in situ boundary conditions of the spring within the grid assembly. The aim of the characterization test via the aforementioned two methods is to establish an appropriate assembly-based test method that fulfills the actual boundary conditions. A characterization test under the spacer grid assembly boundary condition is also conducted to investigate the actual behavior of the spring in the core. The stiffness of the characteristic curve is smaller than that of the strap-wised boundary condition. This phenomenon may cause the strap slit condition. A spacer grid consists of horizontal and vertical straps. The strap slit positions are differentiated from each other. They affords examination of the variation of the external load distribution in the grid spring. Localized legions of high stress and their values are analyzed, as they may be affected by the spring shape. Through a comparison of the results of the test and FE analysis, it is concluded that the present assembly-based analysis model and procedure are reasonably well conducted and can be used for spring characterization in the core. Guidelines for improving the mechanical integrity of the spring are also discussed.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been spotlighted as one of promising field emission displays(FEDs). For the first time, to authors knowledge, we have developed the 9" color CNT-FEDs with the resolution of 240x576 lines. The 9" CNT-FEDs with diode-type and triode-type structures are presented. The well-dispersed CNT paste was squeezed onto the metal-patterned cathode glass. For the anode plate, the Y2O2S:Eu, ZnS:Ag,Cl low-voltage phosphors were printed for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The vacuum-packaged panel maintained the vacuum level of 1x10-7 Torr. The uniform moving images vacuum-packaged panel maintained the vacuum level of 1x10-7 Torr. The uniform moving images were demonstrated at 2 V/um. High brightness of 800, 200, and 150cd/m2 was observed on the green, red, and blue phosphors at V/um, respectively. Field emission characteristics of a triode-type CNT-FED were simulated using a finite element method. the resultant field strength on the cathode was modulated by gate bias and emitted electrons were focused on the anode. A relatively uniform emission image was experimentally achieved at the 800V anode. A relatively uniform emission image was experimentally achieved at the 800V anode and the 50-180 V gate biases. Energy distribution of electrons emitted from CNTs was measured using an energy analyzer. The maximum peak of energy curve corresponded to the Fermi energy level of CNTs. The whole fabrication processed of CNT-FEDs were fully scalable and reproducible. Our CNT-FEDs has demonstrated the high potential of large-area and full-color applications with very low cost fabrication and low power consumption.

Although numerous researchers demonstrated the significant difference in performance between the various beam-to-column connection types, most of the previous studies in the area of infilled steel frames focused on the behaviour of frames with welded connections. Therefore, there is a need for conducting studies on infilled steel frames with other common connection types (extended endplate with and without rib stiffeners, flush endplate and shear connections). In this paper, firstly, a two-dimensional finite-element model simulating the cyclic response of infilled steel frames was presented. The infill-frame interaction, as well as the interactions between connections' components, were properly modelled. Using the previously-validated model, a parametric study on infilled steel frames with five different beam-to-column connection types, under cyclic loading, was carried out. Several parameters, including infill material, fracture energy of masonry and infill thickness, were investigated. The results showed that the infilled frames with welded connections had the highest initial stiffness and load-carrying capacity. However, the infilled frames with extended endplate connections (without rib stiffeners) showed the greatest energy dissipation capacity and about 96% of the load-carrying capacity of frames with welded connections which indicates that this type of connection could have the best performance among the studied connection types. Finally, a simplified analytical model for estimating the stiffness and strength of infilled steel frames (with different beam-to-column connection types) subjected to lateral cyclic loading, was suggested.

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are one of the most important and widely used lateral load-bearing systems. The reason for this is easier execution than reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls, faster construction time, and lower final weight of the structure. However, the main drawback of SPSWs is premature buckling in low drift ratios, which affects the energy absorption capacity and global performance of the system. To address this problem, two groups of SPSWs under cyclic loading were investigated using the finite element method (FEM). In the first group, several series of circular rings have been used and in the second group, a new type of SPSW with concentric circular rings (CCRs) has been introduced. Numerous parameters include in yield stress of steel plate wall materials, steel panel thickness, and ring width were considered in nonlinear static analysis. At first, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model was validated using three sets of laboratory SPSWs and the difference in results between numerical models and experimental specimens was less than 5% in all cases. The results of numerical models revealed that the full SPSW undergoes shear buckling at a drift ratio of 0.2% and its hysteresis behavior has a pinching in the middle part of load-drift ratio curve. Whereas, in the two categories of proposed SPSWs, the hysteresis behavior is complete and stable, and in most cases no capacity degradation of up to 6% drift ratio has been observed. Also, in most numerical models, the tangential stiffness remains almost constant in each cycle. Finally, for the innovative SPSW, a relationship was suggested to determine the shear capacity of the proposed steel wall relative to the wall slenderness coefficient.

As a way to improve the safety of automotives and to reduce the weight of vehicles, new forming technologies and advanced materials are in high demand in the automotive industry. However, the advanced strength steel has inferior formability and large springback. In order to overcome such drawbacks, the hot press forming process (HPF) has been being applied for forming of automotive sheet parts. In this work, new equipment was suggested to measure unlimited displacement range compared to previous one which was able to measure only up to 10mm displacement range. The external extensometer connected with grips by wire was applied to equipment so that total strain range was measured up to failure also in high temperature. And the finite element analysis was conducted to characterize the mechanical properties of the HPF steel. Finally, the flow curves were represented by utilizing the Johnson-Cook type equation both in uniform and post-uniform deformation regions.

본 연구에서는 폐쇄형 발포금속의 인장 특성을 이해하기 위하여 수정된 단위모델을 제시하였다. 또한 발포금속의 밀도는 가우스 분포에 의거하여 확률적으로 분포한다고 가정하고 본 연구에서 제시된 수정 단위 모델을 조합하여 유한요소 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델은 실제 인장 시험과 유사한 변형거동을 보이는 것을 확인하였고, 적절한 밀도 분포와 내부 기공을 고려하게 되면, 해석에서 구해진 최대 인장 강도가 근사적으로 실험결과와 일치하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한, 발포 알루미늄의 최대 인장 강도는 밀도 분포의 표준편차보다는 내부 기공 부피분율에 더 민감하게 변하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 경사를 가진 비탈면에서 토석류의 거동과 메카니즘을 평가하는 것이다. 수치모의는 질량보존 및 운동량 보존에 관한 방정식에 기초하여 유한차분법을 이용하여 수행되었다. 토석류 유동 메카니즘은 토석류, 소류집합유동, 소류이동 등의 3가지 형태로 나눌 수 있다. 우선 하류부에서 공급유량의 변화에 따른 직선 사면과 2단 경사 사면에 대한 유량, 유동심, 토사체적 농도를 조사하였다. 공급유량이 적을수록 토석류가 도달한 직후에만 유량과 유동심의 상승이 있었고, 이후 감소하는 경향을 나타내지만, 공급유량의 증가로 인해 유량과 유동심의 곡선이 불안정하면서 높게 나타났다. RMS비 비교 결과 2단 경사 비탈면이 직선 비탈면보다 유량과 유동심이 적게 나타난 것을 확인하였다. 둘째, 2단 경사 비탈면에서 하류부의 경사각도 변화에 따른 유량, 유동심, 토사체적 농도를 조사하였다. 하류부 경사각도 $14^{\circ}$와 $16^{\circ}$사이의 유량과 유동심 곡선의 밴드폭이 다른 각도 사이보다 크게 나타났으며, 10초 이후에는 높은 값의 파동이 지속된다는 것을 확인하였다.

최근 곡선교 사용이 증가함에 따라 기존 곡선 교량의 한계점을 극복하고자 PSC 곡선 주형을 이용한 곡선교에 대한 해석적 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 프레임 요소를 이용한 격자해석방법으로는 PSC 곡선교에 대한 정밀해석이 어렵다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 PSC 곡선교의 정밀 유한 요소 해석을 실시하여 프리캐스트 PSC 곡선교의 설계를 위한 참고자료로 사용하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 3차원 솔리드 요소를 사용한 모델링을 실시하고, 거더 수, 하중 재하 위치, 단면 변화, 긴장력 변화 및 편긴장력 도입 여부와 같은 매개변수에 대한 거동을 평가하였다. 해석 결과 경간장 50 m 3주형 교량의 항복하중과 파괴 하중이 경간장 40 m 2주형 교량에 비해 200% 이상의 성능을 보였고, 외측거더에 하중을 가하였을 경우 도심의 위치에 따라 하중저항력 및 거더 간의 처짐 편차가 낮게 평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 거더 단면을 변화시킨 경우 단면의 증가에 따라 구조성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났으나 PS도입량의 변화에 의한 효과에 비해 경제성과 시공성에서 불리한 것으로 나타났다. PS 도입량 변화에 따른 영향을 분석한 결과 PS 도입량이 증가함에 따라 솟음량과 하중저항력이 비례하여 증가하였으며 거더 간 처짐 편차가 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 편긴장력을 도입하였을 시 도입량 증가에 비례하여 내외측 거더 모두에서 하중저항력이 증가하며, 특히 외측거더에 편긴장력이 도입되었을 때 더 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타나, PSC 곡선교의 경제성 및 안정성을 확보하는데 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.
