A major concern in deep excavation project in soft clay deposits is the potential for adjacent buildings to be damaged as a result of the associated excessive ground movements. In order to accurately determine the wall deflections using a numerical procedure such as the finite element method, it is critical to use the correct soil parameters such as the stiffness/strength properties. This can be carried out by performing an inverse analysis using the measured wall deflections. This paper firstly presents the results of extensive plane strain finite element analyses of braced diaphragm walls to examine the influence of various parameters such as the excavation geometry, soil properties and wall stiffness on the wall deflections. Based on these results, a multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) model was developed for inverse parameter identification of the soil relative stiffness ratio. A second MARS model was also developed for inverse parameter estimation of the wall system stiffness, to enable designers to determine the appropriate wall size during the preliminary design phase. Soil relative stiffness ratios and system stiffness values derived via these two different MARS models were found to compare favourably with a number of field and published records.

Major engineering requirements and technological developments in the steel construction industry are discussed to support a new innovative system, namely corrugated web beams, for future structural projections. These new-generation steel beams, fabricated as welded plate girders with corrugated webs, are designed to combine large spans with very low weight. In the present study, the flexural capacity of optimally designed trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugated web beams was aimed at. For this purpose, the new metaheuristic methods, specifically hunting search and firefly algorithms, were used for the minimum weight design of both beams according to the rules of Eurocode EN 1193 15 and DASt-Ri 015. In addition, the strengthening effects of the corrugation geometry at the web posts on the load capacity of fabricated steel beams were tested in a reaction frame. The experimental tests displayed that the lateral capacity of trapezoidal web beams is more durable under flexural loads compared to sinusoidal web beams. These thin-walled beams were also simulated using a 3-D finite element model with plane strain to validate test results and describe the effectiveness of the ABAQUS software.

This paper aims to develop a practical approach to modeling of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) strengthened masonry panels. The main objective is to provide suitable relations for the material characterization of the masonry constituents so that the finite element applications of elasto-plastic theory achieves a close fit to the experimental load-displacement diagrams of the walls subjected to in-plane shear and compression. Two relations proposed for masonry columns confined with FRP are adjusted for the cohesion and the internal friction angle of both units and mortar. Relating the mechanical parameters to the uniaxial compression strength and the hydrostatic pressure acting over the wall surface, the effects of major and intermediate principal stresses ${\sigma}_1$ and ${\sigma}_2$ on the yielding and the shape of the deviatoric section are then reflected into the analyses. Performing nonlinear finite element analyses (NLFEA) for the three walls tested in two different studies, their stress-strain response and failure modes are eventually evaluated through the comparisons with the experimental behavior.

The deformation behavior of a bulk amorphous and crystallized amorphous $Zr_{22.5}Ti_{14}Cu_{12.5}Ni_{10}Be_{22.5}$ alloy extracted from a commercial golf club head was characterized at room temperature ana $300^{\circ}C$. At room temperature, amorphous specimens revealed higher yield stress and ductility than partially crystallized alloy specimens. Amorphous alloy displayed some plasticity before fracture, which resulted from strain hardening and repeated crack initiation and propagation. The fracture is mainly localized on one major shear band, and the compressive fracture angle of the amorphous specimen between the stress axis and the fracture plane was about $40^{\circ}$ Scanning electron microscope observations revealed mainly a vein-like structure in the amorphous alloy But the fracture surface of partially crystallized amorphous alloy consisted of vein-like and featureless fracture structure. The partially crystallized alloy extracted from the thick part of the club fractured in the elastic region, at a much lower stress level than the amorphous, suggesting that relatively coarse crystal particles formed during cooling cause the brittle fracture.

Numerical analysis was conducted to confirm the characteristics of extinction behavior in NH₃/CH₄ counterflow symmetrical flames. Numerical simulations were run on CHEMKIN-PRO, using the OPPDIF code, with Okafor's mechanisms, which had the lowest error rate compared to Colson's experimental data in the our previous part I study. The chemical interactions of merged flames were examined by analyzing the production rate of major chemical species and key radicals with the volume fractional percentage of ammonia and global strain rate. The interaction phenomenon of the flames could be identified by observing the main chemical reaction path of the merged flames at the stagnation plane.

조선누축층군의 정선석회암에서 18개의 정향시료를 재취하여 쌍정이 잘 발달한 10개의 시료에 대하여 방해석 c-축의 방향 및 경사, e 쌍정면의 방향 및 경사, 쌍정의 평균 두께 및 갯수, 방해석 입자의 크기 등을 측정하였다. 측정된 자료들은 calcite Strain Gauge(CSG) 프로그램에 입력되어 쌍정의 변형률, 평균 두께, 치밀도 및 고응력장의 상대적 크기 및 방향 등을 계산하였다. 쌍정의 변형률, 평균 두께, 치밀도 미 고응력장의 상대적 크기 및 방향등을 계산하였다.쌍정의 변형률은 0.801%-10.927%,평균 두께는 $0.43{\mu\textrm{m}}~2.03{\mu\textrm{m}}$, 치밀도는 33.5~113.4쌍정/mm의 범위를 보인다. 쌍정의 변형률, 치밀도 및 두께에 의한 변성온도 계산결과 대부분의 시료에서 $70^{\circ}C$ 이하를 보여, 정선 석회암내의 방해석 쌍장들은 2.3Km 보다 낮은 심도에서 생성된 것으로 판단되다. 응력장의 방향은 5개의 시료에서 2방향을 보이는 반면 5개의 시료에는 한 방향을 보이고, 대부분의 시료에서 최대 주응력이 수평이고 최소 주응력이 수직이어서 역단층을 유발하는 응력장과 동일하다. 압축응력은 E-W와 NW-SE의 방향성이 가장 우세하고 N-S와 NE-SW의 방향성도 보인다. 본 연구에서 측정된 고응력장과 연구지역 인근에서 지질구조나 다른 방법에 의하여 규명된 고응력장과 비교할 때 E-W 방향의 고응력장은 고생대 사이루리아기에서 중생대 트라이아스까지 장기간에 걸쳐서 작용한 고응력장을 반영하거나 사이루리아기부터 송림변동이전까지 작용한 고응력장을 나타 낼 두가지의 가능성을 보여준다. NW-SE 방향의 최대 수명 응력은 쥬라기에 발생한 대보조산운동의 기간중의 고응력장을 반영하는 것으로 사료된다.

To study the evolution mechanism of cracks in rocks with multiple defects, rock-like samples with multiple defects, such as strip-shaped through-going cracks and cavity groups, are used, and the crack propagation law and changes in AE (acoustic emission) and strain of cavity groups under different inclination angles are studied. According to the test results, an increase in the cavity group inclination angle can facilitate the initial damage degree of the rock and weaken the crack initiation stress; the initial crack initiation direction is approximately 90°, and the extension angle is approximately 75~90° from the strip-shaped through-going cracks; thus, the relationship between crack development and cavity group initiation strengthens. The specific performance is as follows: when the initiation angle is 30°, the cracks between the cavities in the cavity group develop relatively independently along the parallel direction of the external load; when the angle is 75°, the cracks between the cavities in the cavity group can interpenetrate, and slip can occur along the inclination of the cavity group under the action of the shear mechanism rupture. With the increase in the inclination angle of the cavity group, the AE energy fluctuation frequency at the peak stress increases, and the stress drop is obvious. The larger the cavity group inclination angle is, the more obvious the energy accumulation and the more severe the rock damage; when the cavity group angle is 30° or 75°, the peak strain of the local area below the strip-shaped through-going fracture plane is approximately three times that when the cavity group angle is 45° and 60°, indicating that cracks are easily generated in the local area monitored by the strain gauge at this angle, and the further development of the cracks weakens the strength of the rock, thereby increasing the probability of major engineering quality damage. The research results will have important reference value for hazard prevention in underground engineering projects through rock with natural and artificial defects, including tunnels and air-raid shelters.

인공 슬관절에 사용되는 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌(Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : UHMWPE)의 마모는 삽입물의 수명을 결정하는 주요 요인으로 작용한다. UHMWPE의 마모로 입자가 발생하여 조직반응을 일으키고 이에 따른 일련의 반응으로 골용해가 일어나 인공관절의 실패의 원인으로 작용한다. 여러 보고들에 의하면 관절 운동시 발생하는 접촉응력은 UHMWPE의 마모에 영향을 미치는 주요한 인자 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이러한 보고들은 관절 접촉면에서의 접촉 조건만을 고려했고 UHMWPE 삽입물을 지지하고 있는 금속 지지판과의 접촉면에서의 접촉 조건은 고려하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 접촉 조건들을 고려하여 UHMWPE의 모양, 두께, 마찰, 굴곡 정도 그리고 구성 요소들에 대한 UHMWPE 표면과 내부에서의 응력해석을 통해 이들 변수가 UHMWPE의 마모현상에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. UHMWPE의 모양에 따른 관절의 일치정도(conformity)에 대한 영향의 경우, 일치정도가 높은 모델이 응력을 줄여줄 수 있는 유형으로 나타났으며, 금속 지지판과의 접촉면에서 접촉조건을 준 경우가 완전히 결합된 것으로 가정한 경우보다 UHMWPE 내부에서의 최대 응력이 1-2mm 더 아래에서 나타났다. 또한 UHMWPE로만 된 유형이 금속 지지판이 있는 유형보다 낮은 응력분포를 보여줌으로써 높은 응력으로 인한 UHMWPE의 마모와 균열을 줄이기 위해서는 UHMWPE로만 된 유형의 삽입물의 사용이 좋을 것으로 사료되었다.

Graphene is a 2-D sheet of $sp^2$-bonded carbon arranged in a honeycomb lattice. This material has attracted major interest, and there are many ongoing efforts in developing graphene devices because of its high charge mobility and crystal quality. Therefore clear understanding of the substrate effect and mechanism of synthesis of graphene is important for potential applications and device fabrication of graphene. In a published paper in J. Phys. Chem. C (2008), the effect of substrate on the atomic/electronic structures of graphene is negligible for graphene made by mechanical cleavage. However, nobody shows the interaction between Ni substrate and graphene. Therefore, we have studied this interaction. In order to studying these effect between graphene and Ni substrate, We have observed graphene synthesized on Ni substrate and graphene transferred on $SiO_2$/Si substrate through Raman spectroscopy. Because Raman spectroscopy has historically been used to probe structural and electronic characteristics of graphite materials, providing useful information on the defects (D-band), in-plane vibration of sp2 carbon atoms (G-band), as well as the stacking orders (2D-band), we selected this as analysis tool. In our study, we could not observe the doping effect between graphene and Ni substrate or between graphene and $SiO_2$/Si substrate because the shift of G band in Raman spectrum was not occurred by charge transfer. We could noticed that the bonding force between graphene and Ni substrate is more strong than Van de Waals force which is the interaction between graphene and $SiO_2$/Si. Furthermore, the synthesized graphene on Ni substrate was in compressive strain. This phenomenon was observed by 2D band blue-shift in Raman spectrum. And, we consider that the graphene is incommensurate growth with Ni polycrystalline substrate.
