Interaction between the external thin-walled steel tube and the internal concrete core significantly increases the bending resistance of composite beams and beam-columns in comparison with the steel or concrete members. There is presented a developed method for design of hollow and solid concrete-filled steel tubular beams based on test data, which gives better agreement with test results than EC4 because its limitation to take an increase in strength of concrete caused by confinement contradicts the recommendation of 6.7.2(4) that full composite action up to failure may be assumed between steel and concrete components of the member. Good agreement between the results of carried out experimental, numerical and theoretical investigations allows recommending the proposed method to use in design practice.

Porthole die extrusion has a great advantage in the forming of long hollow section tubes. It is difficult to produce long hollow section tubes with complicated section by the conventional extrusion process with a mandrel on the stem Because of the limit of the length of mandrel and the complexity of cross section. Porthole die extrusion is affected by many parameters, such as extrusion ratio, extrusion speed, die geometry, porthole number, bearing length etc. Up to now, most of studies about porthole die extrusion have been investigated by experiments or steady state FE-analysis. However, in this paper, porthole die extrusion is analysed by the unsteady state 3D FE-simulation. And the result of unsteady state analysis is compared with the experimental result. Also, the surface state of extruded tubes are examined for the various process conditions.

In the recent years, the production of light-weight products has become important because of increasing demands for the energy savings through weight reduction. Therefore the advanced manufacturing technology with Al alloy is continuously required in many industrial fields. Bending characteristics of Al rectangular tube with hollow and solid section has been analyzed by FE analysis in press bending with wing-die. Bending stress is affected by punch stroke and rotation of wing-die. There were different sectional sagging characteristics between the solid rectangle section and the hollow rectangle section.

중공 R.C 기둥은 중실 R.C 기둥에 비해 자중의 감소나 재료의 절감의 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 중공 R.C 기둥은 안쪽면의 취성파괴로 인하여 낮은 연성 거동을 할 가능성이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 중공 부재 내의 콘크리트 3축 구속 상태로 존재하게 하는 강관으로 보강된 중공 R.C 기둥이 강영종, 한택희 (2005) 등에 의해 개발되었다. 본 연구는 강관으로 보강된 중공 R.C 기둥에 대하여 중공비를 0.5~0.85까지 변화 시켜 중공비에 따른 작용하중에 대한 안전율, 연성도, 재료비에 대한 거동 특성을 파악하였다.

In this study, a deformation model for the regular polygonal-shaped tubes from hollow-cylindrical billets is proposed and a kinematically admissible velocity field is obtained from this deformation model. The final stage upper-bound extrusion load and the average extruded length are determined by minimizing the total power consumption with respect to chosen parameters. Experiments have been carried out with hard solder billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the extrusion load are in good agreements with the experimental results and there is generally reasonable agreement in average extruded height between theory and experiment.

The welding pressure in porthole die extrusion is affected by the shape of welding chamber. It is very important to increase the welding pressure when the tube is used particulary as the materials of hydroforming processing. The high circumferential stress of the tube would make the welding pressure increase during the porthole die extrusion. In order to increase the circumferential stress, it is necessary to make the billets pass through the narrow gap between the conical die and the conical mandrel. This paper describes the welding pressure by the experiments with the two types of the chamber. One of them is the chamber between the flat die and straight mandrel, and the other one is the chamber between the conical die and conical mandrel. The result of the experiments show that the conical chamber makes the welding pressure increase by the effect of the reducing the diameteres of tube.

Concrete filled steel tube column has a large load carrying capacity through its steel and concrete interaction which makes it useful in construction. However, it has not been used often in a practical construction field. This is partly due to the non-destructive inspection method for concrete filling which has yet to be established. Furthermore, there are the lack of test data and a practical method in evaluating the ultimate load carrying capacity of concrete filled steel tube column. This paper will attempt to predict the ultimate strength of short concrete filled square tubular steel columns through conducting several tests. To accumulate the new test data on concrete filled steel tube columns, a total of 42 specimens of steel tubular columns were monotonically tested under concentric axial force, having the slenderness ratio(${\lambda}=10,\;15,\;20$), width-thickness ratio(d/t=25.0, 33.3) and concrete strengths($F_{c}=210,\;240,\;270kg/cm^{2}$). The hollow sections and concrete filled steel columns were compared to check the lateral confinded effects by steel tube. Through these test results, we propose a coefficient k=3.64 for the strength evaluation formula(10) of concrte filled tubular steel short columns.

The welding pressure in extru bending process is affected by the shape of welding chamber of porthole die. It is very important to increase the welding pressure when the tube should be extruded particulary from four billets of the materials. The high circumferential stress of the tube can make the welding pressure increase during the extru-bending. In order to increase the circumferential stress, it is necessary to make the billets pass through the narrow gap between the conical die and the conical plug. This paper describes the welding pressure by the experiments and the analysis with the two types of the chamber. One of them is the chamber between the flat die and straight mandrel, and the other one is the chamber between the conical die and conical plug. The results of the experiments and the analysis shows that the conical chamber makes the welding pressure increase by the effect of the reducing diameter of tube and the welding pressure by the conical dic and plug is stronger than the welding pressure by the flat die and straight mandrel.

Condenser tube which is used for a cooling system of automobiles is mainly manufactured by conform extrusion. However, direct extrusion using porthole die in comparison with conform extrusion has many advantages such as improvement of productivity, reduction of production cost etc. In general, the porthole die extrusion process is useful for manufacturing long tubes with hollow sections and consists of three stages(dividing, welding and forming stages). Especially, Porthole die for producing condenser tube is very complex. Thus, in order to obtain the detailed mechanics, to assist in the design of proper die shapes and sizes, and to improve the quality of products, porthole die extrusion should be analyzed in as non-steady state as possible. This paper describes FE analysis of non-steady state porthole die extrusion for producing condenser tube with multi-hole through 3D simulation in the non-steady state during the entire process to evaluate detailed metal flow, temperature distribution, welding pressure and extrusion load. Also to validate FE simulation of porthole die extrusion, a comparison of simulation and experiment results was presented in this paper.

In this paper, the optimum location of the belt truss-outrigger for a combined system of framed tube, shear core and outrigger-belt truss is calculated. The optimum location is determined by maximization of the first natural frequency. The framed tube is modeled using a non-prismatic cantilever beam with hollow box cross section. The governing differential equation is solved using the weak form integral equations and the natural frequencies of the structure are calculated. The graphs are introduced for quick calculation of the first natural frequency. The location of the belt truss-outrigger that maximizes the first natural frequency of the structure is introduced as an optimum location. The structure is modeled using SAP-2000 finite elements software. In the modelling, the location of the belt truss-outrigger is changed along the height of the structure. With various locations of the outrigger, the lateral deflection of the all stories and axial force in the columns of the outer tube are calculated. The analysis is repeated by locating the outrigger-belt truss at the optimum location. The analysis results are compared and effect of the optimum location on the lateral deflection and the shear lag phenomena are investigated.
