A large scale resonant column testing equipment is under development. The would-be equipment is aiming to test 150mm-diameter specimens, which can contain as large a grain size as 25mm. Such a large specimen is hardly excitated with the existing fixed-free end condition because the torsional force cannot be effectively coupled to the specimen. The specimen will be rather resonated with free-free condition and the scheme is implemented with a rotational bearing installed between coil-magnet exciter and base pedestal. Presently the equipment was assembled and is under calibration with a cylindrical brass specimen.

Scaling and similitude large scale structural member to small scale model is considered the most important matter for the experimental tests because of the difficulty in controlling, lack of capacities and expenses, furthermore that most of MSc and PhD students suffering from choosing the suitable specimen before starting their experimental study. The current study adopts to take large scale slab with opening as a case study of structural member where the slab is squared with central squared opening, the boundary condition is fixed from all sides, the load represents by four concentrated force in four corners of opening, as well as, the study adopts Buckingham theorem which has been used for scaling, all the parameters of the problem have been formed in dimensionless groups, the main groups have been connected by a relations, those relations are represented by force, maximum stress and maximum displacement. Finite element method by ANSYS R18.1 has been used for analyzing and forming relations for the large scale member. Prediction analysis has been computed for three small scale models by depending on the formed relations of the large scale member. It is found that Buckingham theorem is considered suitable way for creating relations among the parameters for any structural problem then making similitude and scaling the large scale members to small scale members. Finally, verification between the prediction and theoretical results has been done, it is observed that the maximum deviation between them is not more than 2.4%.

대형구조물에서 발생되는 피로 및 취성파괴에 대한 강도의 특성 평가는 대형구조물의 설계에서 중요한 검토 사항중에 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 대형선체 및 해양구조물과 같은 대형구조물의 기본 설계단계에서 파괴역학을 이용하여 피로균열 진전과 취성파괴 발생 및 정지등에 대한 구조물의 파괴 강도 특성을 파악하고 이것을 기초로 이에 대한 안전성평가를 검토하였다. 소형시험 결과에서 선체구조의 상갑판 전단부와 같은 복잡한 구조물의 피로파괴 강도특성을 정도가 높고 또한 간편하게 추정할 수 있는가에 대하여, 실물크기 부분구조 모델시험을 실시하여 이를 비교 검토하였다. 본 연구대상에서는 소형시험결과를 기초로해서 대형구조물의 피로균열전파거동을 예측할 수 있음을 보였다.

It is well known that the two-parameter $J-A_2$ solution can well characterize the crack-tip fields and quantify the crack-tip constraint for different flawed geometries in variety of loading conditions. However, this solution fails to do so for bending dominated specimens or geometries at large deformation because of the influence of significant global bending stress on the crack-tip field. To solve this issue, a modified $J-A_2$ solution is developed in this paper by introducing an additional term to address the global bending influence. Using the $J_2$ flow theory of plasticity and within the small-strain framework detailed finite element analyses are carried out for the single edge notched bend (SENB) specimen with a deep crack in A533B steel at different deformation levels ranging from small-scale Yielding to large-scale Yielding conditions. The numerical results of the crack-tip stress field are then compared with those determined from the $J-A_2$ solution and from the modified $J-A_2$ solution at the same level of applied loading Results indicate that the modified $J-A_2$ solution largely improves the $J-A_2$ solution, and match very well with the numerical results in the region of interest at all deformation levels. Therefore, the proposed solution can effectively describe the crack-tip field and the constraint for bending dominated specimens or geometries.

This paper reviewed and summarized the experimental studies conducted during last three decades to evaluate the structural integrity and to establish the acceptance criteria for piping system of nuclear power plants (NPPs) under seismic loading condition. These experimental studies contain the results of large-scale piping system tests under excessive seismic loading as well as standard specimen tests, simplified piping specimen tests, and piping components tests under simplified dynamic and cyclic loading. These would be useful as a basis for establishing integrity assessment procedure and acceptance criteria for piping systems of NPPs under beyond design basis earthquake (BDBE) conditions, and also could be used in planing the scope and direction of further related researches.

Single overload tests are carried out for SS41. Specimens are used hollow type and solid type that stress condition prevail plane stress and plane strain at surface crack. According to the crack initiation and propagation period, single overload applies to three regime and overload ratios change into 1.5, 2.0. Crack retardation zones at initation range aren't different in both specimens respectively, however at propagation range come into large scale in hollow specimen. Delayed load cycles come into large scale in solid type. And the more the overload ratio increase, the larger the retardation zone increase but the magnitude doesn't exactly equal to the expected from the overload ratio.

본 연구에서는 강교량의 강상판에서 많이 사용되는 U리브 현장이음부에 대해 시공오차로 인한 단차의 영향을 조사하기 위해 실물 대모형에 대해 응력해석을 실시하였다. 또한 실물대모형 시험체를 제작하여 3점 휨 피로실험을 실시하였으며, 주사형전자현미경(SEM) 및 비치마크를 이용하여 피로균열 발생점 및 피로균열전파방향을 조사하였다. 실물대모형 모델에 대한 응력해석 결과, U리브의 하면 우각부에 응력이 크게 나타났으며, 단차가 커질수록 응력이 현저히 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 실물대모형 시험체에 대한 정하중 및 피로실험에서도 U리브 하면의 우각부에 응력이 크게 나타났으며, 단차가 크면 피로수명은 단축되고 단차가 적으면 피로수명은 길어졌다. 또한 파단면 조사결과, 피로균열은 모재측 루트부에서 발생하여 용접비드 표면측으로 전파되었다.

Hybrid simulation (HS) is a versatile tool for structural performance evaluation under dynamic loads. Although real structural responses are often multiple-directional owing to an eccentric mass/stiffness of the structure and/or excitations not along structural major axes, few HS in this field takes into account structural responses in multiple directions. Multi-directional loading is more challenging than uni-directional loading as there is a nonlinear transformation between actuator and specimen coordinate systems, increasing the difficulty of suppressing loading error. Moreover, redundant actuators may exist in multi-directional hybrid simulations of large-scale structures, which requires the loading strategy to contain ineffective loading of multiple actuators. To address these issues, lately a new strategy was conceived for accurate reproduction of desired displacements in bi-directional hybrid simulations (BHS), which is characterized in two features, i.e., iterative displacement command updating based on the Jacobian matrix considering nonlinear geometric relationships, and force-based control for compensating ineffective forces of redundant actuators. This paper performs performance validation and application of this new mixed loading strategy. In particular, virtual BHS considering linear and nonlinear specimen models, and the diversity of actuator properties were carried out. A validation test was implemented with a steel frame specimen. A real application of this strategy to BHS on a full-scale 2-story frame specimen was performed. Studies showed that this strategy exhibited excellent tracking performance for the measured displacements of the control point and remarkable compensation for ineffective forces of the redundant actuator. This strategy was demonstrated to be capable of accurately and effectively reproducing the desired displacements in large-scale BHS.

Measuring dynamic properties of gravel-sized materials demands large specimens. Due to the difficulties in experiment as well as equipment, the dynamic properties of gravel-sized material has rarely been investigated. To realize free-free end condition more properly and stabilize specimen during testing with new specimen support system, a free-free resonant column testing device, which is capable of testing gravel-sized materials and constraining a specimen in free-free boundaries, is developed. We report the calibration of the equipment and preliminary testing results on Jumunjin sand. The testing data are compared with the previous data obtained from the existing fixed-free resonant column test.
