The stress-strain relation of aluminum (Al) alloy foam cell wall was evaluated by the instrumented sharp indentation method. The indentation in a few micron ranges was performed on the cell wall of Al-alloy foam having a composition or Al-3wt.%Si-2wt.%Cu-2wt.%Mg as well as its precursor (material prior to foaming). To extract the stress-stram relation in terms of yield stress ${\sigma}_y$, strain hardening exponent n and elastic modulus E, the closed-form dimensionless relationships between load-indentation depth curve and elasto-plastic property were used. The tensile properties of precursor material of Al-alloy foam were also measured independently by uni-axial tensile test. In order to verify the validity of the extracted stress-strain relation, it was compared with the results of tensile test and finite element (FE) analysis. A modified cubic-spherical lattice model was proposed to analyze the compressive behavior of the Al-alloy foam. The material parameters extracted by the instrumented nanoindentation method allowed the model to predict the compressive behavior of the Al-alloy foam accurately.

Materials in nuclear power plants can be embrittled by neutron irradiation. According to existing studies, the effect of the material property by irradiation embrittlement can be approximately simulated by cold working (pre-strain). In this study, finite element damage analysis method using the stress-modified fracture strain model is proposed to predict J-Resistance curves of irradiated SUS316 stainless steel. Experimental data of pre-strained SUS316 stainless steel material are obtained from literature and the damage model is determined by simulating the tensile and fracture toughness tests. In order to consider damage caused by the pre-strain, a pre-strain constant is newly introduced. Experimental J-Resistance curves for various degrees of pre-strain are well predicted.

지금까지 ECC의 인장거동 예측에 대한 이론적인 연구는 균열면에서 섬유가 균일하게 분산되어 있다고 가정하고 섬유 가교 곡선을 유도하는 방법으로 수행되었으며, 섬유의 기울어진 각도와 섬유사이의 간격은 섬유 가교 곡선을 예측하는데 큰 영향을 준다. 그러나 이론적으로 유도된 방법은 섬유의 기울어진 각도와 섬유 간격에 따라서 섬유가교 곡선의 형태가 달라지는 것을 모사하지 못하여 실제 섬유 가교 곡선과 차이를 보이며, ECC 인장거동을 예측할 때 큰 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 균열면에서 섬유 가교 작용에 기여하는 유효 섬유의 개수를 섬유의 기울어진 각도와 섬유 간격에 따라 고려한 후, 수정된 섬유 가교 곡선을 구하고, 이를 이용하여 보다 합리적인 ECC의 인장거동 예측기법을 제시하였다. 또한, 인장거동 예측에 중요한 변수인 초기 균열 강도, 섬유 가교 곡선에서의 최고 응력과 변위, 인장변형률, 균열간격을 구하기 위한 방법과 절차를 제시하였다. 그리고 예측 방법의 타당성을 평가하기 위하여 수정된 섬유 가교 곡선과 이론적인 섬유 가교 곡선으로 구한 ECC의 인장거동을 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 수정된 섬유 가교 곡선을 사용할 경우, 실험 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었으며, ECC의 인장거동을 합리적으로 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study focused on the resilient modulus prediction model, which is the functions of mean effective principal stress and axial strain, for three types of railroad trackbed materials such as crushed stone, weathered soil, and crushed-rock soil mixture. The model is composed with the maximum Young's modulus and nonlinear values for higher strain in parallel with dynamic shear modulus. The maximum values is modeled by model parameters, $A_E$ and the power of mean effective principal stress, $n_E$. The nonlinear portion is represented by modified hyperbolic model, with the model parameters of reference strain, ${\varepsilon}_r$ and curvature coefficient, a. To assess the performance of the prediction models proposed herein, the elastic response of a test trackbed near PyeongTaek, Korea was evaluated using a 3-D nonlinear elastic computer program (GEOTRACK) and compared with measured elastic vertical displacement during the passages of freight and passenger trains. The material types of sub-ballasts are crushed stone and weathered granite soil, respectively. The calculated vertical displacements within the sub-ballasts are within the order of 0.6mm, and agree well with measured values with the reasonable margin. The prediction models are thus concluded to work properly in the preliminary investigation.

평형트러스모델, Mohr적합트러스모델, 그리고 연성트러스모델은 회전각에 기초하기 때문에 회전각모델이라 불리 운다. 이러한 회전각모델들은 콘크리트기여도를 예측할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 콘크리트 기여 성분을 계산할 수 있는 MCFT(Modified Compression Field Theory)나 RA-STM(Rotating Angle-Softening Truss Model) 같은 최근 트러스모델(Modern Truss Model, MTM)은 균열이 발생한 철근콘크리트요소를 연속체 재료로 취급한다. 또한 MTM은 평형조건과 적합조건 그리고 2축 상태에서 콘크리트의 연성 응력-변형률 관계를 이용하여 비선형해석을 수행하고 있다. 본 연구는 전단응력-변형률의 전체 이력 상태를 모두 계산하지 않고, 철근항복과 스트럿 압괴(crushing failure) 파괴기준을 이용하여 해를 찾는 방법으로 수렴속도를 개선한 것이다. 이 알고리즘을 이용하여 Hsu가 실험한 9개의 전단응력-변형률 자료를 분석하였다.

The creep constants which are used to the reference stress equations of creep damage were obtained to type 316LN stainless steel, and their determining methods were described in detail. Typical Kachanov and Rabotnov(K-R) creep damage model was modified into the damage equations with reference stress concepts, and the modified equations were applied practically to type 316LN stainless steel. In order to determine the reference stress value, a series of high-temperature tensile tests and creep tests were accomplished at $550^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$. By using the experimental creep data, the creep constants used in reference stress equations could be obtained to type 316LN stainless steel, and a creep curve on rupture strain was predicted. The reference stress concept on creep damage can be utilized easily as a design tool to predict creep life because the process, which is quantified by the measurement of voids or micro cracks during creep, is omitted.

The crashworthiness of vehicles with finite element methods depends on the geometry modeling and the material properties. The vehicle body structures are generally composed of various members such as frames, stamped panels and deep-drawn parts from sheet metals. In order to ensure the impact characteristics of auto-body structures, the dynamic behavior of sheet metals must be examined to provide the appropriate constitutive relation. In this paper, high strain-rate tensile tests have been carried out with a tension type split Hopkinson bar apparatus specially designed for sheet metals. Experimental results from both static and dynamic tests with the tension split Hopkinson bar apparatus are interpolated to construct the Johnson-Cook and a modified Johnson-Cook equation as the constitutive relation, that should be applied to simulation of the dynamic behavior of auto-body structures. Simulation of auto-body structures has been carried out with an elasto-plastic finite element method with explicit time integration. The stress integration scheme with the plastic predictor-elastic corrector method is adopted in order to accurately keep track of the stress-strain relation for the rate-dependent model accurately. The crashworthiness of the structure with quasi-static constitutive relation is compared to the one with the rate-dependent constitutive model. Numerical simulation has been carried out for frontal frames and a hood of an automobile. Deformed shapes and the Impact energy absorption of the structure are investigated with the variation of the strain rate.

Numerical simulation is performed for stagnating turbulent flows of impinging and countercurrent jets by the Reynolds stress model(RSM). Results are compared with those of the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model and available data to assess the flow characteristics and turbulence modes. Three variants of the RSM tested are those of Gibson and Launder(GL), Craft and Launder(GL-CL) and Speziale, Sarkar and Gatski(SSG). As well known, the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model overestimates turbulent kinetic energy near the wall significantly. Although the RSM is superior to the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model, it shows considerable difference according to how the redistributive pressure-strain term is modeled. Results of the RSM for countercurrent jets are improved with the modified coefficients for the dissipation rate, $C_{{\varepsilon}1}\;and\;C_{{\varepsilon}2}$ suggested by Champion and Libby. The performance of the three variants of the RSM model for stagnating flows are assessed.

정규압밀 점성토의 응력-변형 거동은 응력경로에 의하여 어떠한 영향을 받게 되는가를 규명하기 위하여, 실험실에서 인위적으로 압밀한 Kaolin정성토 공시체를 사용하여 현위치 응력상태인 연. 응 역상태로 압밀하고, 여러가지 서로 다른 응력경로를 따라 삼축추축 배수시험을 행하였다. 그 결과, 응력증가비가 특정한 값, 곧 임계응력증가비를 가질 때 응력-변형 거동은 거의 녹형의 형태로 나타나고, 그 이상이 되면 응력의 증가와 더불어 재료의 성질이 강화되는 변형경화 현상을 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는, 이러한 변Wi초화 현상을 보이는 응력-변형 거동을 Drnevich의 쌍유선 함수의 개념을 적용하여 모델화 하였으며, 이를 축대칭 하중을 받고있는지반의 응력경로를 고려한 여밀침하 계산에 적용하는 방법을 제시하였다.

A tendon model that can effectively be used in finite element analyses of prestressed concrete (PSC) structures with bonded tendons is proposed on the basis of the bond characteristics between a tendon and its surrounding concrete. Since tensile forces between adjacent cracks are transmitted from a tendon to concrete by bond forces, the constitutive law of a bonded tendon stiffened by grouting is different from that of a bare tendon. Accordingly, the apparent yield stress of an embedded tendon is determined from the bond-slip relationship. The definition of the multi-linear average stress-strain relationship is then obtained through a linear interpolation of the stress difference at the post-yielding stage. Unlike in the case of a bonded tendon, on the other hand, a stress increase beyond the effective prestress in an unbonded tendon is not section-dependent but member-dependent. The tendon stress unequivocally represents a uniform distribution along the length when the friction loss is excluded. Thus, using a strain reduction factor, the modified stress-strain curve of an unbonded tendon is derived by successive iterations. The validity of the proposed two tendon models is verified through correlation studies between analytical and experimental results for PSC beams and slabs.
