Being a significant mode of deformation, shear effect in addition to the other modes of stretching and bending have been considered to develop two finite element models for the analysis of beams on elastic foundation. The first beam model is developed utilizing the differential-equation approach; in which the complex variables obtained from the solution of the differential equations are used as interpolation functions for the displacement field in this beam element. A single element is sufficient to exactly represent a continuous part of a beam on Winkler foundation for cases involving end-loadings, thus providing a benchmark solution to validate the other model developed. The second beam model is developed utilizing the hybrid-mixed formulation, i.e., Hellinger-Reissner variational principle; in which both displacement and stress fields for the beam as well as the foundation are approxmated separately in order to eliminate the well-known phenomenon of shear locking, as well as the newly-identified problem of "foundation-locking" that can arise in cases involving foundations with extreme rigidities. This latter model is versatile and indented for utilization in general applications; i.e., for thin-thick beams, general loadings, and a wide variation of the underlying foundation rigidity with respect to beam stiffness. A set of numerical examples are given to demonstrate and assess the performance of the developed beam models in practical applications involving shear deformation effect.

$SrTiO_3$ (STO) single crystal irradiated with a 3-MeV proton beam exhibits blue and green mixed luminescence. However, the same proton beam when used to irradiate STO with a very thin layer of deposited Pt does not show any luminescence. This Pt layer prevents any damage which may otherwise be caused by arcing, which stems from the accumulated surface voltage of tens of kV due to the charge induced by secondary electrons on the surface of the insulator during the ion beam irradiation process. Hence, the luminescence of ion-irradiated STO originates from the modification of the STO surface layer caused by arcing rather than from any direct ion beam irradiation effect. STO treated with atmospheric-pressure plasma, a simple and cost-effective method, also exhibits the same type of blue and green mixed luminescence as STO treated with an ion beam, as the plasma also creates a layer of surface damage due to arcing.

A simple beam model based on a mixed method is proposed for the analysis of thin-walled composite blades with a two-cell airfoil section. A semi-complementary energy functional is used to obtain the beam force-displacement relations. The theory accounts for the effects of elastic couplings, shell wall thickness, warping, and warping restraint. All the kinematic relations as well as the cross-section stiffnesses are evaluated in a closed-form through the current beam formulation. The theory has been applied to two-cell composite blades with extension-torsion couplings and fairly good correlation has been observed in comparison with a detailed analysis and other literature.

The size-dependent behavior of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) embedded in the elastic medium and subjected to the initial axial force is investigated using the mixed finite element method. The SWCNT is assumed to be Euler-Bernoulli beam incorporating nonlocal theory developed by Eringen. The mixed finite element model shows its great advantage of dealing with nonlocal behavior of SWCNT subjected to a concentrated load owing to the existence of two coefficients ${\alpha}_1$ and ${\alpha}_2$. This is the first numerical approach to deal with a puzzling fact of nonlocal theory with concentrated load. Numerical examples are performed to show the accuracy and efficiency of the present method. In addition, parametric study is carefully carried out to point out the influences of nonlocal effect, the elastic medium, and the initial axial force on the behavior of the carbon nanotubes.

Gel dosimeters have unique advantages in comparison with other dosimeters. Until now, these gels have been used in different radiotherapy techniques as a reliable dosimetric tool. Because dose distribution measurement is an important factor for appropriate treatment planning in different radiotherapy techniques, in this study, we evaluated the ability of the N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel to record the dose distribution resulting from the mixed neutron-gamma field of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this regard, a head phantom containing NIPAM gel was irradiated using the Tehran Research Reactor BNCT beam line, and then by a magnetic resonance scanner. Eventually, the $R_2$ maps were obtained in different slices of the phantom by analyzing T2-weighted images. The results show that NIPAM gel has a suitable potential for recording three-dimensional dose distribution in mixed neutron-gamma field dosimetry.

본 연구에서는 완화된 평형조건을 만족하는 응력함수를 가지는 새로운 3절점 혼합요소를 제안하였다. 전단변형률을 고려한 본 요소는 Hellinger-Reissner 변분이론에 바탕하여 유한요소정식화를 수행하였다. 응력함수는 강체변형모드를 제거하고, 장일치(field consistency) 개념을 이용하여 곡선보의 극한거동에서 가성구속조건들을 억제할 수 있도록 선정하였다. 또한, 3절점 곡선보의 혼합정식화에서 강체변형모드를 제거하면서 동시에 평형방정식을 완전하게 만족하는 응력함수와 응력매개변수를 선정하는 것은 매우 어렵기 때문에 완화된 평형조건을 만족할 수 있는 응력함수를 도입하였다. 해석결과를 통하여, 제안된 3절점 혼합 곡선보요소가 곡선보의 해석에서 세장비와 곡률에 상관없이 매우 빠른 수렴성과 안정적인 거동을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었으며, 응력분포 계산에 있어서도 기존 혼합요소보다 뛰어난 성능을 보여주었다.

3 MeV protonirradiated SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal exhibits a blue and green mixed luminescence. However, the same proton irradiated STO deposited with very thin Pt layer does not show any luminescence. This Pt layer involved in preventing the damage caused by arcingthat comes from tens of kV surface voltage build-up due to secondary electron induced charge up at the surface of insulator during ion beam irradiation. It implies that luminescence of ion irradiated STO originated from the modified STO surface layer caused by arcing rather than direct ion beam irradiation effect. Atmospheric pressure plasma, a simple and cost-effective method, treated STO also exhibits the same kind of blue and green mixed luminescence as the ion beam treated STO, because this plasma also creates a surface damage layer by arcing.

본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트기둥과 철골보로 이루어진 혼합구조 접합부의 해석에 대한 유한 유소법을 이용한 해석 모델 방법을 제시하였다. 혼합구조 접합부에서 콘크리트와 강판이 접하는 접촉면은 두 접촉면 사이를 부착과 마찰의 개념으로 표현할 수 있는 주-종속 접촉 알고리즘(master-slave contact algorithm)을 이용하여 모델링하였다. 그리고, 휨응력의 지배를 받는 강관에는 비적합 모드 요소를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서의 혼합구조 특징은 보에서 기둥으로 힘의 전달을 원활히 하기 위하여 다이아프램이 사용되었고, 이러한 혼합구조 접합부 모델링 방법에 대한 타당성을 알아보기 위하여 3차원 비선형 해석을 행하여 실험결과와 비교한 결과 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻었다.

In this work, the structural response of thin-walled composite beams with pretwist angle is investigated by using a mixed beam approach that combines the stiffness and flexibility methods in a unified manner. The Reissner's semi-complimentary energy functional is used to derive the stiffness matrix that approximates the beam in an Euler-Bernoulli level for extension and bending and Vlasov level for torsion. The bending and torsion-related warpings induced by the pretwist effects are derived in a closed form. The developed theory is validated with available literature and detailed finite element structural analysis results using the MSC/NASTRAN. Pretwisted composite beams with rectangular solid and thin-walled box sections are illustrated to validate the current approach. Acceptable correlation has been achieved for cases considered in this study. The effects of pretwist and fiber orientation angles on the static behavior of pretwisted composite beams are also studied.
