The free and forced vibration in addition to electric energy harvesting of a piezoelectric disk resting on two-parameter foundation modeled by modified couple stress as well as Kirchhoff plate theory is probed. The governing equations and boundary conditions are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Then, the free and forced vibration are solved using numerical solutions, generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) and Newmark-beta method. The forced vibration is resulted from a base excitation load. Also, the possible voltage which can be harvested from this system is obtained using generalized integral quadrature method. The validity of the formulation and solution procedure is confirmed using a compassion study. The impact of parameters such as length effect, inner to outer radius ratio, and foundations parameters on the free and forced vibration as well as energy harvesting is investigated in detail. This paper can be a basis for future studies in the area of piezoelectric harvesters in small scales.

Effect of thickness stretching on free vibration, bending and buckling behavior of carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) laminated nanoplates rested on new variable elastic foundation is investigated in this paper using a developed four-unknown quasi-3D higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The key feature of this theoretical formulation is that, in addition to considering the thickness stretching effect, the number of unknowns of the displacement field is reduced to four, and which is more than five in the other models. Two new forms of CNTs reinforcement distribution are proposed and analyzed based on cosine functions. By considering the higher-order nonlocal strain gradient theory, microstructure and length scale influences are included. Variational method is developed to derive the governing equation and Galerkin method is employed to derive an analytical solution of governing equilibrium equations. Two-dimensional variable Winkler elastic foundation is suggested in this study for the first time. A parametric study is executed to determine the impact of the reinforcement patterns, nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, side-t-thickness ratio and aspect ratio, elastic foundation and various boundary conditions on bending, buckling and free vibration responses of the CNTRC plate.

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are extensively adopted in many of the growing nations, particularly in India. Window or door openings are required for architectural or functional reasons, which pose a threat to the building's safety. The past earthquakes have shown that the seismic capability of these structures was very weak. Strengthening these unreinforced masonry walls using welded wire mesh (WWM) is one of the most commonly and economical methods. The present experimental study investigates the impact of openings on the shear behaviour of URM walls and the effectiveness of WWM in enhancing the shear performance of masonry wall. In the experimental program 16 specimens were cast, 8 unstrengthen and 8 strengthened specimens, under 8 unstrengthen and strengthened specimens, every 2 specimens had 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% openings and all these walls were tested under diagonal compression. The results show that the shear carrying capacity reduces as the opening percentage increases. However, strengthening the URM specimens using WWM significantly improves the peak load, shear strength, ductility, stiffness, and energy dissipation. Furthermore, the strengthening of the URM walls using WWM compensated the loss of wall capacity caused by the presence of the openings.

In 2020, it was estimated that more than 2.4 million households in South Korea are over 30 years old. That is, more than 40% of all houses in Korea are old and that they require proper rehabilitation. The two options to improve poor living conditions are reconstruction and remodeling. Compared to reconstruction, remodeling has advantages in terms of the construction period, cost, and environmental impact. As such, the current Korean regulations are more favorable for remodeling than reconstruction. Typically, several candidate floor plans are presented in the early stages of an apartment remodeling project. Extracting information about bearing walls and other structural elements from the multiple plans to compare those plans quantitatively is one of the essential tasks during the early stage of a project. To cope with this task, an automated data extraction method for walls and slabs from before and after remodeling plans is developed. Through the developed program, load-bearing walls, non-bearing walls, slabs, and weight changes after remodeling can be analyzed and visualized in a fast and automated manner.

This study aims to examine the structural response of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (Glass-FRP) reinforced geopolymer electronic waste aggregate concrete (GEWC) compression elements under axial compression for sustainable development. The research includes the fabrication of nine GEWC circular compression elements with different reinforcement ratios and a 3-D nonlinear finite element model using ABAQUS. The study involves a detailed parametric analysis to examine the impact of various parameters on the behavior of GEWC compression elements. The results indicate that reducing the vertical distance of glass-FRP ties improves the ductility of GEWC compression elements, and those with eight longitudinal rebars have higher axial load-carrying capacities. The finite element predictions were in good agreement with the testing results, and the put forwarded empirical model shows higher accuracy than previous models by involving the confinement effect of lateral glass-FRP ties on the axial strength of GEWC compression elements. This research work contributes to minimizing the carbon footprint of cement manufacturing and electronic waste materials for sustainable development.

최근 국내·외에서는 산지에서 발생하는 토사재해를 관리하기 위하여 유사이송해석에 필수적인 요소인 소류사량 추정 방안에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 음향센서가 내장되어 있는 파이프 하이드로폰은 소류사 입자가 충돌 또는 통과하면서 발생하는 음향을 계측하여 소류사량을 간접적으로 계측하는 방법이다. 하이드로폰에 계측된 음향신호는 신호의 정점을 연결한 포락선 신호로 변환되며, 증폭기에 의해 다양한 배율의 신호로 증폭된다. 이렇게 증폭되어진 여러 배율의 신호와 원시신호는 데이터로거에 의해 지속적으로 기록되고, 가공처리하며 검출된 음향 펄스 수와 특정 시간간격의 음압적분치를 이용하여 소류사량을 추정하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 하이드로폰에 계측되는 소류사의 충돌음으로부터 정량적인 소류사량을 추정하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 단일 입경 6종류와 유속 3종류 및 소류사량 5단계로 변화를 주었으며 디노이징 필터를 통해 원시신호의 노이즈를 제거함으로써, 소류사량 추정률의 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 원시신호와 디노이징 음향신호를 비교·분석한 결과 제안된 방법이 기존 원시신호 보다 높은 소류사량 추정률을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 단일 입경 연속공급실험을 수행하여 소류사량 추정 가능성을 확인하였다. 향후 혼합 입경 소류사량 추정 실험 및 다양한 입경을 활용한다면 높은 소류사량 추정률을 얻을 것으로 기대된다.

우리나라는 서울지역과 수도권 위성도시의 인구분포가 집중되어있으며, 도시지역에 대한 관거 우선 확충에 따라 하수처리구역의 비율이 점차 늘어나고 있다. 초기우수월류에 의한 오염은 비점오염원의 경우로, 발생 및 배출경로가 다양하고 불특정하게 발생한다. 비점 오염원의 유출 농도는 강우 초기에 높게 나타나고, 점차 농도가 낮아지는데, 이러한 강우 특성을 고려하여 오염발생량을 규명하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 중랑천 의정부 지역을 대상지역으로 선정하여, 합류식 하수관거 월류부하를 하수도법 관리수준으로 제어하기 위한 초기우수 처리대상 강우량을 산정하고 강우분포형 및 토지이용도 현황별로 초기월류유량 및 부하특성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 SWMM(Strom Water Management Moder)모형을 적용하여, 매년 홍수기에 발생할 수 있는 다양한 강우분포를 고려하여 대상유역의 토지용도별 합류식 처리구역에 대하여 SWMM 모형의 검·보정 절차를 통해 예측값과 측정값 사이의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 의정부 지역의 초기우수월류 오염부하량의 토지용도에 따른 경향성과, 강우량 및 강우분포, 배수면적에 따른 경향성을 비교하였다.

While tube bending is a conventional forming technique, it is still used to make curved products for load-bearing members or aesthetically pleasing parts in various manufacturing industries such as automotive, aerospace, and others. Whole or local deformation of the final product such as springback, distortion, or local buckling are of interest in metal forming or precision manufacturing. In this paper, the factors affecting the cross-sectional deformation are explored. A 5-axis stretch bending machine was used for two-dimensional bending with extruded AA6082-T4 rectangular tubes. Three different bending sequences were employed: stretch before bending, stretch after bending, simultaneous bending and stretch. Furthermore, by considering both the stretch and bending angle, cross-sectional deformation was also analyzed. It was observed that employing stretch bending techniques can effectively reduce cross-sectional deformation and contribute to overall quality enhancement. Through this study, it was revealed that these factors have an impact on the cross-sectional deformation of the tubes.

Hydrostatic transmission (HST) comprises rotary parts, shafts, valve plate, swashplate, and servo pistons. Ensuring structural stability of each part of an HST has a significant impact on product safety. In this study, the structural stability of HST in agricultural machinery and industrial vehicles was analyzed using ANSYS software. For conservative evaluation, high-pressure conditions (35.5 MPa and 2 MPa pilot pressure) were applied as load conditions. The number of grids used in the calculations ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 million depending on modeling requirements. Structural analysis was performed for essential parts and safety factor was analyzed. All major parts of HST had a safety factor of ≥ 1.5. Thus, they were judged to be structurally safe. This study provides important information for designing an HST system.
