The response mechanism of simply supported two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs under fire was numerically studied from the view of stress redistribution using the finite element software ABAQUS. Results show that: (1) Simply supported two-way RC slabs undergo intense stress redistribution, and their responses show four stages, namely elastic, elastic-plastic, plastic and tensile membrane stages. There is no cracking in the fire area of the slabs until the tensile membrane stage. (2) The inverted arch effect and tensile membrane effect improve the fire resistance of the two-way slabs. When the deflection is L/20, the slab is in an inverted arch effect state, and the slab still has a good deflection reserve. The deformation rate of the slab in the tensile membrane stage is smaller than that in the elastic-plastic and plastic stages. (3) Fire resistance of square slabs is better than that of rectangular slabs. Besides, increasing the reinforcement ratio or slab thickness improves the fire resistance of the slabs. However, an increase of cover thickness has little effect on the fire resistance of two-way slabs. (4) Compared with one-way slabs, the time for two-way slabs to enter the plastic and tensile cracking stage is postponed, and the deformation rate in the plastic and tensile cracking stage is also slowed down. (5) The simply supported two-way RC slabs can satisfy with the requirements of a class I fire resistance rating of 90 min without additional fire protection.

안전벨트의 역할은 차량 충돌이 발생했을 때 운전자를 보호하는 것이다. 그러나 강한 충돌이 발생하게 되면 운전자가 안전벨트에서 미끄러지게 되어 강한 충격을 받는다. 그러므로 이러한 현상을 방지하기 위해 새로운 안전벨트의 개발이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 새로운 개념의 안전벨트인 Dynamic Locking Tongue(DLT)을 개발하였다. DLT장치는 강한 충돌이 발생했을 때 벨트(Webbing)가 안전벨트에서 미끄러지지 않게 하여 운전자의 피해를 줄여주는 장치이다. DLT장치 개발은 동역학 해석 프로그램인 SAMCEF를 이용하였다. 우선 DLT장치의 유한요소모델을 생성하였다. 그리고 실제 시험방법과 유사한 환경을 만들어 테스트를 해보았다. 이를 통해 DLT장치의 무게와 응력를 구할 수 있다. DLT장치의 최소 강도와 무게를 구하기 위해 반응 표면 분석법을 이용하여 DLT장치의 형상을 최적화하였다. 최적화된 DLT장치를 구조 해석을 통해 신뢰성을 검증하였다.

The spacer grid set is a part of a nuclear fuel assembly. The set has a spring and the spring supports the fuel rods safely. Although material nonlinearity is involved in the deformation of the spring,nonlinearity has not been considered in design of the spring. Recently a nonlinear response structural optimization method has been developed using equivalent loads. It is called nonlinear response optimization equivalent loads (NROEL). In NROEL, the external loads are teansformed to the equivalent loads (EL) for linear static analysis and linear response optimization is carried out based on the EL in a cyclic manner until the convergence criteria are satisfied. EL is the load set which generates the same response no EL. The objective function is defined by minimizing the maximum stress in the spring while is limited and the support force of the spring is larger than a certain value. The results are verified by nonlinear. ABAQUS is used for nonlinear response analysis and GENESIS is employed for linear response optimization.

절리 암반의 역학적 물성 및 거동 평가가 터널 및 지하구조물의 설계에 매우 중요하다 할지라도, 그것은 항상 매우 어려운 문제로 간주되어 왔다. 암반 거동을 모사하는데 있어서 어려움중의 하나는 적절한 구성 모델을 선정하는 것이다. 이러한 한계점은 PFC와 같이 사용자로 하여금 암반의 구성 모델을 요구하지 않는 개별요소 프로그램의 개발과 함께 극복되어질 것이다. 본 연구에서는 도로터널 현장의 30\;m\;\times\;30\;m\;\times\;30\;m 절리 암반블록을 대상으로, 시추 및 지표 지질조사를 통해 얻어진 절리의 기하학적 형태자료를 근거로 개별균열망이 작성되었다. 개별균열망 모델의 절리 형상을 근거로 절리가 없는 상태에서 점차적으로 절리군을 추가해가면서 2차원 PFC모델이 만들어졌다. 또한 각각의 PFC모델에 대한 수치모사를 통하여 각 모델의 응력-변형율 곡선이 얻어졌다. 응력-변형율 곡선으로부터 절리 암반의 역학적 물성이 결정되었다. 절리의 존재는 암반의 역학적 물성에 상당한 영향을 미쳤으며, 더욱 중요한 것은 PFC모델의 역학적 거동은 기존의 수치모델에서 요구되는 구성 모델에 의하여 결정되지 않는다는 것이다.

An important challenging issue in the automotive industry is the light-weight, safe design and enhancement of crash response of an auto-body structures. These objectives lead to increasing adoption of high strength steel sheet for inner and outer auto-body members. This paper evaluates the dynamic tensile characteristics of high strength steel sheets, HS45R, TRIP60, DP60 and DP100, along the rolling direction and transverse direction. Static tensile tests were carried out at the strain rate of 0.003/sec using the static tensile machine (Instron 5583). Dynamic tensile tests were carried out at the range of strain rate from 0.1/sec to 200/sec using a high speed material testing machine developed. The tensile tests acquire stress-strain relation and strain rate sensitivity of each material. The experimental results show two important aspects for high strength steels: the flow stress increases as strain rate increases; the strain hardening decreases as the tensile stress increases. The experiments also produce interesting results that the elongation does not decrease even when the strain rate increases.

In this paper, a new semi-analytical solution for estimating the pull-in parameters of electrically actuated functionally graded (FG) nanobeams is proposed. All the bulk and surface material properties of the FG nanoactuator vary continuously in thickness direction according to power law distribution. Here, the modified couple stress theory (MCST) and Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory (SET) are jointly employed to capture the size effects of the nanoscale beam in the context of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. According to the MCST and SET and accounting for the mid-plane stretching, axial residual stress, electrostatic actuation, fringing field, and dispersion (Casimir or/and van der Waals) forces, the nonlinear nonclassical equation of motion and boundary conditions are obtained derived using Hamilton principle. The proposed semi-analytical solution is derived by employing Galerkin method in conjunction with the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. The proposed solution approach is validated with the available literature. The freestanding behavior of nanoactuators is also investigated. A parametric study is conducted to illustrate the effects of different material and geometrical parameters on the pull-in response of cantilever and doubly-clamped FG nanoactuators. This model and proposed solution are helpful especially in mechanical design of micro/nanoactuators made of FGMs.

In this study, we used a stochastic approach for guaranteeing the reliability and robustness of the performance with regard to the design of polymer components, while taking into consideration the degradation properties and operating conditions in automobiles. Creep and tensile tests were performed for obtaining degradation properties. The Prony series, which described the viscoelastic models, were calculated to use the creep data by the Maxwell fluid model. We obtained the stress data from the frequency response analysis of the polymer components while considering the degradation properties. Limit state functions are generated by using these data. Reliability assessments are conducted under the variation of the degradation properties and area of frequency at peak response. For this study, the input parameters are assumed to be a normal distribution, and the reliability under the yield stress criteria is evaluated by using the Monte Carlo Simulation. As a result, the reliabilities, according to the three types of polymer materials in automotive components, are compared to each other and suggested the applicable possibility of polymeric materials in automobiles.

This paper aims to examine the dynamic response of a newly designed ultrasonic motor under half-sine shock impulses. Impact shock was applied to the motor along x, y or z axis respectively with different pulse widths to check the sensitivity of the motor to the shocks in different directions. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with the ANSYS software was conducted to obtain the relative displacement of a key point of the motor. Numerical results show that the maximum relative displacement is of micro meter level and the maximum stress is five orders smaller than the Young's modulus of the piezo material, which proves the robustness of the motor.

The mechanical responses of multilayered aluminum sheet fabricated by roll bonding, i.e., A1050/A3004 (65% A1050, 35% A3004 by thickness), were investigated via combined experiment and finite element (FE) analysis. The mechanical properties were measured using uniaxial tensile tests in various loading directions for the multilayered sheet. The corresponding tests for individual layers were also conducted. The testing samples were prepared by wire electro discharge machining (EDM). Stress-strain curves and Lankford coefficients of the multilayered sheet were then predicted by FE simulations. The measured mechanical properties of the individual layers were utilized as inputs for the simulation. Two yield functions, i.e., isotropic von-Mises and anisotropic non-quadratic Hill1948, were employed. Predicted results were compared with the experimental data and further discussed.
