The objectives of this work focus on the differences in responses of paired tendons from different anatomical locations. Tendon specimens were obtained from the hindlimbs of canines and frozen to -70$^{\circ}C$. After being thawed, specimens were mounted in the immersion bath, preloaded to 0.13N, and then subjected to 3% or 4% of the initial length at a strain rate of 5%/sec. It was found that the mechanical responses of anatomically paired tendons were nearly the same within each pair but different between pairs of tendons from different anatomical locations. Although flexor tendons had much larger cross-sectional area than the others, such as peroneus or extensor tendons, the stiffness of the flexor tendons were much lower than the others throughout their stress-strain responses. The nature and causes of these differences in the stiffness are not fully known. However, it is clear that differences in the mechanical response of tendons and other connective tissues are significant to the musculoskeletal performance.

The buckling and vibration characteristics of stiffened plates subjected to in-plane concentrated edge loading are studied using finite element method. The problem involves the effects of non-uniform stress distribution over the plate. Buckling loads and vibration frequencies are determined for different plate aspect ratios, boundary edge conditions and load positions. The non-uniform stresses may also be caused due to the supports on the edges. The analysis presented determines the initial stresses all over the region considering the pre-buckling stress state for different kinds of loading and edge conditions. In the structural modeling, the plate and the stiffeners are treated as separate elements where the compatibility between these two types of elements is maintained. The vibration characteristics are discussed and the results are compared with those available in the literature and some interesting new results are obtained.

Among severe plastic deformation methods, groove pressing is one of the prominent techniques for producing ultra-fine grained sheet materials. This process consists of imposing repetitive severe plastic deformation on the plate or sheet metals through alternate pressing. In the current study, a 2 mm pure Cu sheet has been subjected to repetitive shear deformation up to two passes. Hardness and tensile yield and ultimate stress were obtained after groove pressing. Fracture toughness tests have been performed and compared for three conditions of sheet material namely as received (initial annealed state), after one and two passes of groove pressing. Results of experiments indicate that a decrease in the values of fracture toughness attains as the number of constrained groove pressing (CGP) passes increase.

실트질 접토의 심강(沈降) 특성(特性)에 미치는 초기농도(初期濃度)($C_o$) 및 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)(${\tau}_b$)의 효과에 대한 연구를 하기 위해 황해안 영광해역에서 채취한 실트질 점토를 사용하여 순환식 개수로에서 퇴적실험(堆積實驗)을 하였다. 상대농도(相對濃度) $C/C_o$(C=수심 평균한 농도) 및 상대평형농도(相對平衡濃度) $C_{eq}/C_o$($C_{eq}$=평형상태에서 수심 평균한 농도)는 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)에 강하게 좌우되며, 초기농도(初期濃度)에는 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났고, 또한 이들 값은 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)이 클수록 증가하였다. 황해안 영광해역 퇴적물(堆積物)의 퇴적한계저면전단응력(堆積限界底面剪斷應力)의 최소치는 ${\tau}_{bmin}{\simeq}0.017N/m^2$, 퇴적한계저면전단응력(堆積限界底面剪斷應力)의 최대치는 ${\tau}_{bmax}{\simeq}1.25N/m^2$이며, 이들 값은 퇴적물(堆積物)의 구성성분에 강하게 좌우된다. ${\tau}_b{\geq}{\tau}_{bmin}$ 범위에서 상대농도(相對濃度)($C_{eq}/C_o$)와 겉보기 중앙심강속도(中央沈降速度)($W_{s50}{^{\prime}}$)에 대한 식을 유도하였다. 겉보기 중앙심강속도(中央沈降速度)는 초기농도(初期濃度)보다 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)에 훨씬 더 강한 영향을 받고, 저면전단응력(底面剪斷應力)이 증가할수록 지수적으로 감소하였다.

This paper studied the dynamic response of a new gasbag-type floating bridge under the effect of a moving load. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method was used to simulate the movement of seawater and air, and the penalty-based method was used to study the coupling between gasbags and fluid. A three-dimensional finite element model of the floating bridge was established, and the numerical model was verified by comparing with the experimental results. In order to prevent resonance, the natural frequencies and flexural mode shapes were analyzed. Based on the initial state analysis, the dynamic responses of the floating bridge subjected to different moving loads were investigated. Vertical displacements and radial deformations of gasbags under different loads were compared, and principal stress distributions of gasbags were researched while driving. The hinge forces between adjacent modules were calculated to ensure the connection strength. Besides, the floating bridge under wave impacting was analyzed. Those results can provide references for the analysis and design of this new floating bridge.

Recently, the using PSC with external unbonded tendons is increased. However, the behavior of external unbonded tendons is different with that of bonded internal tendon at ultimate state by compatibility condition, the slip with friction at deviator and the change of tendon eccentricity e.t.c., So, the analytical research considered the effect of these inherent characters was performed and the tendency of external unbonded tendons was estimated by numerical examples. By the analytical results, load-deflection relationship and stress increment of external unbonded tendons were similar to those of internal bonded tendon at initial elastic behavior state. Those characters were, however, smaller than those character of internal bonded tendons. For external unbonded tendons, if the 1 deviator which is positioned at maximum moment point and more 2 deviators which are position between maximum moment point and support are existed, the flexural behavior is similar to internal bonded tendons.

In order to study the soil seasonal dynamic characteristics in the regions with four distinct seasons, the soil dynamic triaxial experiments were conducted by considering the environmental temperature range from -30℃ to 30℃. The results demonstrate that the dynamic soil properties in four seasons can change greatly. Firstly, the dynamic triaxial experiments were performed to obtain the dynamic stress-strain curve, elastic modulus, and damping ratio of soil, under different confining pressures and temperatures. Then, the experiments also obtain the dynamic cohesion and internal friction angle of the clay under the initial strain, and the changing rule was summarized. Finally, the results show that the dynamic elastic modulus and dynamic cohesion will increase significantly when the clay is frozen; as the temperature continues to decrease, this increasing trend will gradually slow down, and the dynamic damping ratio will go down when the freezing temperature decreases. In this paper, the change mechanism is objectively analyzed, which verifies the reliability of the conclusions obtained from the experiment.

The effects of antimony addition on the microstructures and creep behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy have been investigated. Constant load creep tests were carried out at temperatures ranging from $150^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$, and an initial stress of 50MPa for AZ31 alloys containing antimony up to 0.84% by weight. Results show that small additions of antimony to AZ31 effectively decreased the creep extension and steady state creep rates. The steady state creep rate of AZ31 was reduced 2.5 times by the addition of 0.84% of antimony. The steady state creep rate of AZ31-0.84Sb alloy was controlled by dislocation climb in which the activation energy for creep was 128 kJ/mole. The microstructure of as-cast AZ31-0.84%Sb alloy showed the presence of $Mg_3Sb_2$ precipitates dispersed throughout the matrix. The main reason for the higher creep resistance in AZ31-Sb alloys is due to the presence $Mg_3Sb_2$, which effectively hindered the movement of dislocations during the elevated temperature creep.

A highly strained nanostructure comprising crystallographically aligned HgTe nanoinclusions and a surrounding PbTe matrix has been synthesized using a precipitation process of supersaturated HgTe-PbTe alloys. From the early precipitation stage, HgTe nanoinclusions take disk shape, which is transformed from initial HgTe nuclei, although there is no lattice constant difference of the two end components at standard state. As a primary reason for the morphological transformation of the initial spherical HgTe nuclei to HgTe nanodisks, the induced lattice mismatch is suggested. On the condition that the HgTe nanodisks maintain perfect coherent nature with PbTe matrix, the stress-free lattice constant of constrained HgTe nanodisks has been calculated based on the defined concept of the strain-induced tetragonality, the linear elasticity and the actual measurement in HRTEM images.

연성구조물의 일종인 막구조물은 대공간 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 구축할 수 있다. 연성구조물은, 축강성은 강하고 휨강성이 매우 작은 재료를 주 구조재로 사용하므로 초기강성에 매우 약한 구조체이다. 초기강성을 확보하기 위해서는 초기응력의 도입이 필수적이고, 초기강성을 갖기 전에는 불안정현상을 나타내지만, 초기강성의 도입과 함께 안정상태가 된다. 초기 불안정 구조물에 초기강성을 도입함으로써 야기되는 대변형 현상을 파악하기 위해서는 기하학적 비선형을 고려한 형상해석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 해석프로그램인 NASS를 이용하여 해석을 수행한다. 해석모델은 Barrel Vault형 지붕 막구조물을 대상으로 하며, 직교이방성을 고려한 형상해석 및 응력-변형해석을 수행한 후 안정성을 검토한다.
