This study proposes a system reliability analysis of rack storage facilities subjected to forklift colliding events. The proposed system reliability analysis consists of two steps: the first step is to identify dominant failure modes that most contribute to the failure of the whole rack facilities, and the second step is to evaluate the system failure probability. In the first step, dominant failure modes are identified by using a simulation-based selective searching technique where the contribution of a failure mode to the system failure is roughly estimated based on the distance from the origin in the space of the random variables. In the second step, the multi-scale system reliability method is used to compute the system reliability where the first-order reliability method (FORM) is initially used to evaluate the component failure probability (failure probability of one member), and then the probabilities of the identified failure modes and their statistical dependence are evaluated, which is called as the lower-scale reliability analysis. Since the system failure probability is comprised of the probabilities of the failure modes, a higher-scale reliability analysis is performed again based on the results of the lower-scale analyses, and the system failure probability is finally evaluated. The illustrative example demonstrates the results of the system reliability analysis of the rack storage facilities subjected to forklift impact loadings. The numerical efficiency and accuracy of the approach are compared with the Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that the proposed two-step approach is able to provide accurate reliability assessment as well as significant saving of computational time. The results of the identified failure modes additionally let us know the most-critical members and their failure sequence under the complicated configuration of the member connections.

저속충격에 의한 복합재의 파손 모드를 규명하기 위하여 PVDF 센서를 이용한 신호취득 방법과 측정된 PVDF 센서 신호를 시간-주파수 분석법 (time-frequency analysis)인 국소 퓨 리에 변환 및 웨이블렛 변환을 적용하여 분석할 수 있는 실험적 전차에 대하여 고찰하였다. 고분자 암전센서를 이용하여 저속충격시 발생할 수 있는 여러 충격손상 형태 모재균열, 층간분리, 섬유파단에 의한 응력파 측정 가능성을 고찰하기 위하여 일련의 저속충격 시험을 수행하였다. 충격 시험 후, 저속 충격을 받은 적층판에 대하여 C-scan 과 단면 검사를 통하여 센서 신호, 손상 모드 및 크기에 대한 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 센서신호의 취득과 신호분석을 통하여 저속충격의 발생/진행과정을 알 수 있는 많은 중요한 정보가 PVDF 센서신호에도 내재되어 있음을 알 수 있으며 PVDF 센서 신호를 주의 깊게 분석함으로써 저속 충격에 의한 복합재료의 손상 모드 규명이 가능하며 저속충격 위협에 대한 복합재 구조물의 건전성 모니터링에 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

복합재료 구조는 필요한 기계적 성능을 충족하기 위해 서로 다른 적층 각도로 적층하여 설계되었다. 외부 하중을 받는 복합재료 구조물에 대한 발생하는 응력은 위치에 따라 다르지만, 최대 응력을 바탕으로 적층 순서를 결정하는데, 이는 효율적이지 않으며 일반적으로 최적의 설계가 아니다. 최근 이러한 비효율성을 해결하기 위해 구간 조합 복합재료(PIC)가 제안되었다. PIC는 인접한 조각들 사이의 완벽한 결합을 가정하지만, 이것은 매우 이상적이고 달성하기 어렵다. 따라서 경계에서의 중첩은 서로 분리되지 않도록 하기 위해 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 중첩 설계가 PIC 플레이트의 충격 파손 모드에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 속경화 탄소섬유 프리프레그를 이용하여 서로 다른 겹침부 형상 및 절개선 간격을 가지는 시험편을 제작하였으며, ASTM D 7136에 따라 충격시험을 수행하였다. 복합재료 적층판의 충격 파손 형태는 겹침부 설계에 따라 서로 다른 양상을 가졌으며, 이로 인해 충격흡수에너지 및 충격하중곡선의 경향에도 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다.

The fiber reinforced laminated composite structures are very susceptible to be damaged when they are impacted by foreign objects. To increase the impact resistance of the laminated composite structures, shape memory alloy(SMA) thin film is embedded in the structure. For the numerical impact analysis of SMA hybrid composite structures, SMA modeling tool is developed to consider pseudoelastic effect of SMAs. Moreover, the damage analysis is considered using failure criteria and a simple damage model for reasonable impact analysis. The numerical results are verified with the experimental ones. Impact analyses for composite plate with pre-strained SMAs are numerically performed and the damage areas are investigated.

Impact damage detection in composite structures has gained a considerable interest in many engineering areas. The capability to detect damage at the early stages reduces any risk of catastrophic failure. This paper compares two advanced signal processing methods for impact location in composite aircraft structures. The first method is based on a modified triangulation procedure and Genetic Algorithms whereas the second technique applies Artificial Neural Networks. A series of impacts is performed experimentally on a composite aircraft wing-box structure instrumented with low-profile, bonded piezoceramic sensors. The strain data are used for learning in the Neural Network approach. The triangulation procedure utilises the same data to establish impact velocities for various angles of strain wave propagation. The study demonstrates that both approaches are capable of good impact location estimates in this complex structure.

In this paper, the drop/impact simulation for a mobile phone has been carried out with the explicit code LS-DYNA and its validation has been experimentally verified. The small size of this kind of electronics products makes it time-consuming, and difficult to conduct drop tests to detect the failure mechanism and identify their drop behaviors. Strict drop/impact performance criteria of such hand held electronic products as mobile phones play an important role in their design because these products must withstand both normal and unexpected shock. Usually, the product durability on drop impact depends on designers experience. The present reliable methodology of drop/impact simulation provides an efficient and powerful vehicle to improve the design quality and reduce the design period.

The responses of reinforced concrete slabs subject to an impact loading near the ultimate load range are explored. The analysis is carried out on a simply supported rectangular reinforced concrete slab using a nonlinear explicit dynamic procedure and considering three material models: Drucker-Prager, modified Drucker-Prager, and concrete damaged plasticity, available in the commercial finite element software, ABAQUS/Explicit. For comparison purposes, the impact force-time response, steel reinforcement failure, and concrete perforation pattern are verified against the existing experimental results. Also, the effectiveness of mesh density and damage wave propagation are studied independently. It is shown that the presently adopted finite element procedure is able to simulate and predict fairly accurate the behavior of reinforced concrete slab under impact load. More detailed investigations are however demanded for the justification of effects coming from an imperfect projectile orientation as well as the load and structural surface conditions, including the impulsive contacted state, which are inevitable in an actual impact environment.

Today, buildings are exposed to the effects such as explosion and impact loads. Usually, explosion and impact loads that act on the buildings such as nuclear power plants, airports, defense industry and military facilities, can occur occasionally on the normal buildings because of some reasons like drop weight impacts, natural gas system explosions, and terrorist attacks. Therefore, it has become important to examine the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under impact loading. Development of computational mechanics has facilitated the modeling of such load conditions. In this study, three kinds of RC walls that have different geometric forms (square, ellipse, and circle) and used in guardhouses with same usage area were modeled with Abaqus finite element software. The three configurations were subjected to the same impact energy to determine the geometric form that gives the best behavior under the impact loading. As a result of the analyses, the transverse impact forces and failure modes of RC walls under impact loading were obtained. Circular formed (CF) reinforced concrete wall which has same impact resistance in each direction had more advantages. Nonetheless, in the case of the impact loading occurring in the major axis direction of the ellipse (EF-1), the elliptical formed reinforced concrete wall has higher impact resistance.

Purpose : Heart failure (HF) is considered an important medical burden with rehospitalization and mortality. Anemia is a major risk factor associated with the severity of HF. To improve the understanding of the impact of anemia in the population with HF, we explored the prevalence of anemia, its guidelines, relationship between anemia and mortality or rehospitalization, and limitation of reviewed papers of various populations with HF. Method: We used Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methodology (2005), and thirty research papers were analyzed. PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, PsychInfo, Embase, Web of Science were searched for papers published between January 1960-June 2018. Results: Anemia in individuals with HF was primarily defined using the World Health Organization guideline. The prevalence of anemia in patients with HF varied from 9% to 56.7%. Moreover, such a condition significantly increases the prevalence of mortality or rehospitalization in patients with HF. The analyzed majority were non-prospective cohort study including secondary data analysis. Conclusion: Anemia in individuals with HF is a significant risk factor of mortality and rehospitalization. Prospective cohort studies should be designed to identify the optimal value for screening anemia and the impact of anemia on rehospitalization and mortality among HF patients.
