Nowadays, modern gearboxes are characterized by high torque load demands, low running noise and compact design. Also durability of gearbox is specially a major issue for the industry. For the gearbox which used in wind turbine, gear transmission error(T.E.) is the excitation that leads the tonal noise known as gear whine, and radiated gear whine is also the dominant source of noise in the whole gearbox. In this paper, tooth modification for the high speed stage is used to compensate for the deformation of the teeth due to load and to ensure a proper meshing to achieve an optimized tooth contact pattern. The gearbox is firstly modeled in Romax software, and then the various combination analysis of the tooth modification is presented by using Windows LDP software, and the prediction of transmission error under the loaded torque for the helical gear pair is investigated, the transmission error, contact stress, root stress and load distribution are also calculated and compared before and after tooth modification under one torque condition. The simulation result shows that the transmission error and stress under the loads can be minimized by the appropriate tooth modification.

The method of emission inspection for Heavy-duty diesel vehicles has been engine speed type Lug-down 3mode. This method could bring damage to decrepit vehicles under high speed and high load condition and it could not apply the driving pattern on the road. For these reasons, this study has started to create new emission inspection which is appropriate for Korea's road infrastructure. KD 147 would be applied to light-duty diesel vehicles from july 2010 after model operations. Therefore, this study has investigated new emission inspection system for heavy-duty diesel vehicles, except for light-duty diesel vehicles. In consideration of domestic conditions to meet the new load test method in this study, the Lug-down3 mode vehicle speed method was developed for the first time in korea.

The effect of reinforcing concrete members with high strength steel bars with yield strength up to 600 MPa on the overall seismic behavior of concrete moment frames was studied experimentally and numerically. Three geometrically identical plane frame models with two bays and two stories, where one frame model was reinforced with hot rolled bars (HRB) with a nominal yield strength of 335 MPa and the other two by high strength steel bars with a nominal yield strength of 600 MPa, were tested under simulated earthquake action considering different axial load ratios to investigate the hysteretic behavior, ductility, strength and stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and plastic deformation characteristics. Test results indicate that utilizing high strength reinforcement can improve the structural resilience, reduce residual deformation and achieve favorable distribution pattern of plastic hinges on beams and columns. The frame models reinforced with normal and high strength steel bars have comparable overall deformation capacity. Compared with the frame model subjected to a low axial load ratio, the ones under a higher axial load ratio exhibit more plump hysteretic loops. The proved reliable finite element analysis software DIANA was used for the numerical simulation of the tests. The analytical results agree well with the experimental results.

In this paper, the effect of normal load on the failure mechanism of echelon joint has been studied using PFC2D. In the first step, calibration of PFC was undertaken with respect to the data obtained from experimental laboratory tests. Then, six different models consisting various echelon joint were prepared and tested under two low and high normal loads. Furthermore, validation of the simulated models were cross checked with the results of direct shear tests performed on non-persistent jointed physical models. The simulations demonstrated that failure patterns were mostly influenced by normal loading, while the shear strength was linked to failure mechanism. When ligament angle is less than $90^{\circ}$, the stable crack growth length is increased by increasing the normal loading. In this condition, fish eyes failure pattern occur in rock bridge. With higher ligament angles, the rock bridge was broken under high normal loading. Applying higher normal loading increases the number of fracture sets while dilation angle and mean orientations of fracture sets with respect to ligament direction will be decreased.

The object of this study is to investigate experimentally the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams using recycled coarse aggregate. At first, the specimens are manufactured for the compressive strength of 210kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with recycled coarse aggregate ratio of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%, respectively. From the results, Reinforced concrete beams using recycled coarse aggregate were made with recycled coarse aggregate ratio of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, with stirrups and recycled coarse aggregate ratio of 0%, 20%, 40% without stirrups. The results of crack pattern and failure mode, load-displacement curve(center point and load point) and load-steel curve(compressive, tensile, stirrup) were analysed. It is concluded from the test that the shear behavior of recycled concrete beams is determined to have similar behavior of normal concrete beams. Therefore, from this study the application of recycled concrete to concrete structures may be possible. But, for using the recycled concrete widely, it is expected that the more studies on quality control, substitution ratio and mix design related with recycled concrete are necessary.

The purpose of this study is to propose the nonlinear analysis method which combines the nonlinear incremental method with the layered method to solve the problems due to the geometric and the material nonlinearities. As numerical analysis models, the reinforced concrete simple beam and the steel arch frame are used to verify the algorithm of the proposed nonlinear method. The results are gotten from the computation procedures. According to the results of this study, the fracture pattern of the beam according to the ratio of tensile steel and the strength of the concrete and the steel can be estimated by the proposed method. Therefore, the load-deflection curve of structure can be, exactly, depicted by the proposed method. Also, the rupture load, the site and the depth of crack of the beam can analytically be checked by the proposed method. In this respect, the proposed method contributes for the solving the stability problem of the actual structure.

The external contour of an implant can have significant effects on the load transfer characteristics and may result in different bone failure rates for different implant system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of crest module shape and occlusal load direction on bone failure modes of five commercially available dental implant systems. Five different implant systems with internal connection; ITI (Model 1), Astra (Model 2), Bicon (Model 3), Friadent (Model 4), and Paragon (Model 5), comparable in size, but different in thread profile and cest module shapes, were compared using the finite element method. Conclusively, in the internal connection system of the implant-abutment connection methods, the stress-induced pattern at the supporting bone according to the abutment connection form had differenence among them, and implants with narrowing crestal module cross-sections at the top of the cortical bone created more favorable load transfer characteristics in this region. But it is considered that the future study is necessary about how this difference in the magnitude of the stress have an effect on the practical clinic.
