The main focus of this study is to numerically investigate the influence of strong earthquake and tsunami-induced wave impact on the response and behavior of a cable-stayed steel bridge with large caisson foundations, by assuming that the earthquake and the tsunami come from the same fault motion. For this purpose, a series of numerical simulations were carried out. First of all, the tsunami-induced flow speed, direction and tsunami height were determined by conducting a two-dimensional (2D) tsunami propagation analysis in a large area, and then these parameters obtained from tsunami propagation analysis were employed in a detailed three-dimensional (3D) fluid analysis to obtain tsunami-induced wave impact force. Furthermore, a fiber model, which is commonly used in the seismic analysis of steel bridge structures, was adopted considering material and geometric nonlinearity. The residual stresses induced by the earthquake were applied into the numerical model during the following finite element analysis as the initial stress state, in which the acquired tsunami forces were input to a whole bridge system. Based on the analytical results, it can be seen that the foundation sliding was not observed although the caisson foundation came floating slightly, and the damage arising during the earthquake did not expand when the tsunami-induced wave impact is applied to the steel bridge. It is concluded that the influence of tsunami-induced wave force is relatively small for such steel bridge with large caisson foundations. Besides, a numerical procedure is proposed for quantitatively estimating the accumulative damage induced by the earthquake and the tsunami in the whole bridge system with large caisson foundations.

본 논문에서는 고준위폐기물 처분장에서 처분용기를 취급할 때 발생할 수 있는 운송차량에서 처분용기의 추락낙하 사고시 지면에 충돌할 때 지면으로부터 받는 충격력에 대하여 직경이 102cm인 가압경수로(PWR)용 처분용기에 대한 구조해석을 수행하여 처분용기의 구조적 안정성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 처분용기가 추락낙하하여 지면과 충돌 시에 처분용기가 받는 충격력을 구하기 위한 기구동역학해석을 상용 CAE 시스템인 RecurDyn을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 이와 같이 구한 충격력에 대하여 상용 유한요소해석 코드인 NISA를 이용하여 처분용기의 비선형구조해석을 수행하여 처분용기 내에 발생하는 응력 및 변형을 구하였다. 이를 바탕으로 처분용기가 처분장에서 취급 시 부주의로 운송차량에서 추락낙하 하는 경우 처분용기의 구조적 안전성을 평가하였다. 처분용기를 강체로 가정하고 기구동역학해석을 수행한 결과 처분용기는 지면과 두 가지 유형으로 충돌함을 알 수 있었고, 충돌 초기 지면으로부터 받는 충격력이 가장 크고 그 이 후 충돌 시에는 충격력이 점차로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 안정적인 구조안전성 평가결과를 얻기 위하여 처분장에서 차량 운송 시 추락낙하 사고에서의 운송차량의 높이는 충분히 높은 5m로 가정하였다. 충격력에 대한 비선형구조해석은 추락낙하하여 가장 큰 값인 충돌 초기의 충격력의 크기를 가지고 비선형구조해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 이송 중인 차량에서 추락낙하하는 경우 처분용기의 내부 주철삽입물에 주철의 항복응력보다 더 큰 응력이 발생하였으며, 이는 처분용기에 항복이 발생하여 경수로 처분용기의 구조적 안전성이 확보되지 못함을 보여주고 있다.

This paper presents the results of a three-dimensional numerical investigation into the effect of new tunnel construction on structural performance of existing tunnel lining. A three-dimensional finite difference model, capable of modelling the tunnel construction process, was adopted to perform a parametric study on the spatial variation of new tunnel location with respect to the existing tunnel with emphasis on the plan crossing angle of the new tunnel with respect to the existing tunnel and the vertical elevation of the new tunnel with respect to the existing one. The results of the analyses were arranged so that the effect of new tunnel construction on the lining member forces and stresses of the existing tunnel can be identified. The results indicate that when a new tunnel underpasses an existing tunnel, the new tunnel construction imposes greater impact on the existing tunnel lining when the two tunnels cross at an acute angle. Also shown are that the critical plan crossing angle of the new tunnel that would impose greater impact on the existing tunnel depends on the relative vertical location of the new tunnel with respect to the existing one, and that the overpassing new tunnel construction scenario is more critical than the underpassing scenario in view of the existing tunnel lining stability. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

A certain amount of MBS rubber was added to improve toughness of PVC which has a strong tendency of being brittle, producing a mixture, PVC/MBS, from which test specimens were prepared. PVC has strong chemical resistance, oil resistance, frame retardancy and high mechanical strength. Also, it is relatively inexpensive to produce, but shows weakness to impact and difficult for processing. MBS, a typical toughening agent for PVC is generally known, when added in a small amount, to improve impact resistance and to minimize difficulties during the processing of the PVC without adversely affecting the positive aspects of the PVC. In this investigation, attempts were made to observe and determine the variations in elastic and damping constants of the PVC depending on the amounts of MBS added to the mixture, PVC/MBS, and also on the thicknesses of the specimens. An acoustic resonance technique was used for the tests in this investigation. It serves as a method to characterize properties of materials set in vibrational motions, which is initiated by low level stresses generated by externally supplied acoustic energy. Substantial variations were observed in the test results with the addition of the MBS to the PVC. Generally, the magnitudes of elastic constants decrease while the damping capacity improves when MBS rubber was added.

An analysis of the dynamics of a mechanical monoleaflet heart valve prosthesis in the closing phase is presented. Employing the moment equilibrium principles on the occluder motion and the squeeze film dynamics of the fluid between the occluder and the guiding strut at the instant of impact, the velocity of the occluder tip and the impact force were computed. The dynamics of fluid being squeezed between the occluder and the guiding struts is accounted for by Reynold's equation. The effect of the fluid being squeezed between the occluder and the guiding strut was to reduce the velocity of the occluder tip at the instant of valve closure as well as dampen the fluttering of the occluder before coming to rest in the fully closed position. The squeeze film fluid pressure changed rapidly from a high positive value to a relatively large negative value in less than 1 msec. The results of this study may be extended for the analysis of cavitation inception, mechanical stresses on the formed elements and valve components as well as to estimate the endurance limits of the prosthetic valves.

It has become ever harder to design reliable circuits with each nanometer technology node; under normal operation conditions, a transistor device can be affected by various aging effects resulting in performance degradation and eventually design failure. The reliability (aging) effect has traditionally been the area of process engineers. However, in the future, even the smallest of variations can slow down a transistor's switching speed, and an aging device may not perform adequately at a very low voltage. Therefore, circuit designers need to consider these reliability effects in the early stages of design to make sure there are enough margins for circuits to function correctly over their entire lifetime. However, such an approach excessively increases the size and power dissipation of a system. As the impact of reliability, new techniques in designing aging-resilient circuits are necessary to reduce the impact of the aging stresses on performance, power, and yield or to predict the failure of a system. Therefore, in this paper, a novel low power on-chip self-tuning circuit considering the aging effects has been proposed.

The effects on structures caused by the replacement of the bridge bearings are investigated in this study. The bearings of the bridge are seriously deteriorated because of the breakage of lower concrete and the corrosion of the bearing itself. Also, the negative reaction states are created at some bearings on the abutment. Then, the bridge has occurred excessive vibrations and severe noise and impact whenever heavy trucks pass the above joints. The existing bearings are replaced using the adjustable bearing. The height of the bearings is adjusted to minimize the level difference of above joint and also to induce the appropriate distribution of live loads The effects of replacing the bearings are investigated by measuring the behaviors of the bridge without and with replacing works. The results without replacing the bearing show that the distribution of displacements and stresses is distorted in comparison with the analytical results. Also the bridge without replacing the bearing shows that the impact and vibration from the heavy trucks are larger than those with replacing the bearing. Load carrying capacity of the bridge increase about 1.8 times through replacing the bearing. The above results show that the structural performance of the bridge is improved by replacing only bridge bearings.

The bending of a porous FG plate is discussed in this study using a novel higher quasi-3D hyperbolic shear deformation theory with four unknowns. The proposed theory takes into consideration the normal and transverse shear deformation effect and ensures the parabolic distribution of the transverse stresses through the thickness direction with zero-traction at the top and the bottom surfaces of the structure. Innovative porous functionally graded materials (FGM) have through-thickness porosity as a unique attribute that gradually varies with their qualities. An analytical solution of the static response of the perfect and imperfect FG plate was derived based on the virtual work principle and solved using Navier's procedure. The validity and the efficiency of the current model is confirmed by comparing the results with those obtained by others solutions. The comparisons showed that the present model is very efficient and simple in terms of computation time and exactness. The impact of the porosity parameter, aspect ratio, and thickness ratio on the bending of porous FG plate is shown through a discussion of several numerical results.

항공기 연료셀은 추락 상황에서 승무원의 생존성과 직결되는 중요 구성품으로 회전익 항공기에 적용되고 있는 내충격성 연료셀은 추락시 승무원의 생존성 향상에 큰 역할을 하고 있다. 미육군은 항공기가 처할수 있는 다양한 상황에서 연료셀이 제 기능을 발휘할 수 있도록 1960년대 초부터 MIL-DTL-27422 이라는 연료셀 개발규격을 제정하여 현재까지 적용해 오고 있다. 해당 개발규격에 규정된 시험 중에서 충돌충격시험은 연료셀의 내충격 성능을 검증하는 시험으로써, 해당 시험을 통과하는 연료셀은 생존가능 충돌환경에서 화재가 발생하지 않아 승무원의 생존성이 대폭 향상될 수 있음을 의미한다. 그러나 충돌충격시험은 작용하는 하중 수준이 너무 높기 때문에 실패 위험성이 가장 큰 시험이기도 하다. 연료셀이 해당 시험을 통과하지 못하는 경우에는 재시험을 위한 비용과 준비기간이 상당히 소요되어 항공기 개발일정에 심각한 지장을 초래할 가능성도 높다. 따라서, 연료셀 설계 초기부터 내충격성능 만족여부에 대한 예측을 위해 충돌충격시험의 수치해석을 통한 실물시험에서의 실패 가능성을 최소화해야 한다는 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 충돌모사 프로그램인 LS-DYNA에서 지원하는 유체-구조 연성해석 방법인 SPH 방법을 사용하여 연료셀 충돌충격시험 수치 모사를 수행하였다. 수치해석 조건으로 MIL-DTL-27422에서 요구하는 시험조건을 고려하였고, 실물 연료셀의 시편시험을 통해 확보한 물성데이타를 해석에 반영하였다. 그 결과로 연료셀 자체의 응력수준을 평가하고 취약부위에 대한 고찰을 수행하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 병사의 군 생활스트레스가 군 적응에 미치는 영향 관계에서 자아탄력성이 조절효과를 가지는지를 실증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 영남지방에 소재하는 육군 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$사단 병사 321명을 대상으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 인구사회학적 변인인 계급과 학력은 병사의 군 적응에 유의한 변수가 아닌 것으로 분석되었으며, 군 생활스트레스가 병사의 군 적응에 미치는 영향력은 상대적으로 매우 우세한 것으로 파악되었다. 자아탄력성 또한 병사의 군 적응에 정적영향(+)을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 병사의 자아탄력성은 군 생활스트레스와 군 적응 간의 관계에서 조절효과를 가지는 것으로 입증되었다. 본 연구는 병사의 군 적응력 향상을 위해서는 군과 관련한 환경적 요인 못지 않게 병사의 개인 내적요인에 대한 관심 역시 중요하다는 것을 증명하고 있다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 연구의 함의를 논의 하였으며, 추후 연구과제와 연구의 한계를 논의하였다.
