In the present paper, the influences of the variation of exponent of volume fraction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the natural frequencies (NFs) of the carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (CNTRC) beams under four different boundary conditions (BCs) are investigated. The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are assumed to be aligned and dispersed in a polymeric matrix with various reinforcing patterns, according to the variation of exponent of volume fraction of CNTs for functionally graded (FG) reinforcements. Besides, uniform distribution (UD) of reinforcement is also considered to analyze the influence of the non-linear (NL) variation of the reinforcement of CNTs. Using Hamilton's principle and third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), the equations of motion of the CNTRC beam are derived. Under four different BCs, the resulting equations are solved analytically. To verify the present formulation, comparison investigations are conducted. To examine the impacts of several factors on the NFs of the CNTRC beams, numerical examples and some benchmark results are presented.

The conventional forming process such as squeeze casting or die casting for fabricating metal matrix composites products have a disadvantage such as non homogenous distribution of reinforcement, weak bonding between matrix and reinforcement and cost increase in parts fabrication. Thixoforming process has been accepted as a new method for fabricating the net shaped metal matrix composites with lightweight and wear resistance. In this paper, the effect of volume fraction and reinforcement sizes on mechanical properties in cylinder liner part of metal matrix composites has been investigated with processes parameters such as pressure and velocity. Moreover, the methods to obtain the thixoforged composites cylinder liner with high quality has been proposed. To evaluate the composites cylinder linear fabricated at the conditions proposed in this study, mechanical properties of fabricated composites cylinder linear were compared with those of commercial composites cylinder linear.

An extended model for the response of a rigid footing on a reinforced foundation bed on super soft soil is proposed by incorporating the rough membrane element into the granular bed. The super soft soil, the granular bed and the reinforcement are modeled as non-linear Winkler springs, non-linear Pasternak layer and rough membrane respectively. The hyperbolic stress-displacement response of the super soft soil and the hyperbolic shear stress-shear strain response of the granular fill are considered. The finite deformation theory is used since large settlements are expected to develop due to deformation of the super-soft soil. Parametric studies quantify the effect of each parameter on the stress-settlement response of the reinforced foundation bed, the settlement and tension profiles.

대구경 현장타설말뚝의 경우 수평지지특성은 중요한 요소이며 이를 증가시키기 위한 방안은 말뚝의 인접지반을 개량하여 강성을 증가시키는 방법과 말뚝 자체의 강성을 증가시키는 방법이 있다. 이중 말뚝체에 케이싱을 보강하여 강성을 증가시키는 방법이 많이 제안되고 있는 추세이지만 이와 관련된 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지반조건에 따라 대구경 현장타설말뚝의 적정 케이싱 보강길이를 평가하기 위해 비선형해석을 이용하여 지반조건별로 케이싱 보강길이에 따른 수평지지특성을 연구하였다. 그 결과 대구경 현장타설말뚝의 수평지지특성은 케이싱 보강 길이비(κ)가 1.2인 경우 가장 효과적이며 지반조건에 따라서는 느슨한 지반일수록 큰 보강효과를 나타내었다.

An experimental and numerical research was conducted to gain a deeper insight on the structural behaviour of deep-beams with indirect supports and to assess the size effects in the ultimate state behaviour. The experimental campaign focused on the influence of the reinforcement tie distribution height on the compression check of the support region and on the benefits of using unbonded prestressing steel. Three reduced scale specimens were tested and used to validate the results obtained with a nonlinear finite element model. As a good agreement could be found between the numerical and the experimental results, the numerical model was then further used to perform simulations in large scale deep-beams, with dimensions similar to the ones to be adopted in a practical case. Two sources of size effects were identified from the simulation results. Both sources are related to the concrete quasi-brittle behaviour and are responsible for increasing failure brittleness with increasing structural size. While in the laboratory models failure occurred both in the experimental tests as well as in the numerical simulations after reinforcement yielding, the numerically analysed large scale models exhibited shear failures with reinforcement still operating in the elastic range.

Generally, H-section is used for columns and beams in the middle and low building steel structure, But it has a axis and a weak axis. Thus if H-section is used for columns, the structure needs reinforcement on the weak axis. Therefore recently, square hollow section(S.H.S) is used for columns because it is able to cover the vulnerability of H-section. Structural analysis is usually executed under the assumption that connections are either ideally pinned joint or fully joint. Actually all connections are semi-rigid which possess a rotational stiffness. Therefore it can be designed economically as using the property of connections which has a rotational stiffness. This paper presents a prediction model curve which is fitted with Kishi-Chen Power Model about the behavior of connection between H-beam and S.H.S column in the previous experimental paper. It also suggests the new analysis algorithm considering the non-linear of semi-rigid connection and the geometrical non-linear under the effect of axial force.

인발시험은 보강토 구조물의 설계에 있어 보강재와 흙사이의 강도 정수를 결정하는데 사용된다. 그러나 이 시험의 해석시 보강재를 따라 발생하는 전단강도가 일정한 것으로 가정하는데 이는 인발시험중 흙과 보강재 사이의 점진성 전단으로 인해 흙과 보강재의 전단-변위 관계 계산시 오류가 발생하게 된다. 구과 보강재 사이의 shear stiffness계산시 점진성전단의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 유한요소법으로 인발시헙을 해석하였다. 흙과 보강재는 선형과 비선형거동으로 채석하였고 shear stiffnss는 일반적인 방법으로 계산하였는데 수정된 shear stiffness와는 많은 차이가 있었으며 그 차이로 인해 유한요소해석의 결과가 달라지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석결과와 시험치를 비교 분석하였으며 개선된 인발시험 해극방법에 대하여 논하였다.

철근 콘크리트 구조물의 명확한 성능평가를 수행하기 위해 재료 및 구조적 특성이 구조물에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 구조물의 성능에 영향을 미치는 성능영향인자는 구조물의 재료적 특성인 콘크리트 강도, 종방향주철근, 횡구속 철근, 구조적 특성인 형상비, 축하중에 대하여 총 5가지로 정의하였다. 각각의 성능영향인자 변화에 따른 고유치 해석과 비선형 정적해석을 수행하여 각각의 성능영향인자들이 구조물의 항복 변위와 항복 기저전단력 및 연성비의 정적성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 비선형 정적해석의 결과를 이용하여 FEMA-440에서 제안된 수정된 능력스펙트럼법을 이용하여 성능평가를 수행하였고, 이에 따라 구조물의 성능점을 도출하였으며 각각의 성능영향인자가 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 성능영향인자 변화에 따른 해석 결과, 고유치해석과 비선형 정적해석의 따른 고유주기와 연성비는 구조적 특성이 재료적 특성에 비해 구조물에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 그 중 형상비의 영향이 가장 크게 작용하였으며, 수정된 능력스펙트럼법을 이용한 성능평가 결과, 고유주기와 연성비와 마찬가지로 구조적 특성 중 형상비의 영향이 가장 크게 작용하였다.

The analysis of steel-concrete composite joints presents some particular aspects that increase their complexity when compared to bare steel joints. In particular, the influence of slab reinforcement and column concrete encasement clearly change the moment-rotation response of the joint. Starting from an energy approach developed in the context of steel joints, an extension to composite joints is presented in this paper that is able to provide closed-form analytical solutions. In addition, the possibility of tri-linear or non-linear component behaviour is also incorporated in the model, enabling adequate treatment of the influence of cracked concrete in tension and the softening response of the column web in compression. This methodology is validated through comparison with experimental tests carried out at the University of Coimbra.

Local reinforcement in dowel type timber joints is essential to improve ductility, to increase load carrying capacity and to reduce the risk of brittle failure, especially in the case of using solid dowel. In many types of reinforcing materials available today, DVW (densified veneer wood) has been demonstrated to be the most advantages in terms of compatibility, embedding performance and ductility. Preliminary studies show that using appropriately sized DVW discs bonded into the timber interfaces may be an effective way to reinforce the connection. In this paper, non-linear 3-dimensional finite element models, incorporating orthotropic and non-linear material behaviour, have been developed to simulate structural performance of the timber joints locally reinforced by DVW discs. Different contact algorithms were applied to simulate contact conditions in the joints. The models were validated by the corresponding structural tests. Correlation between the experimental results and the finite element simulations is reasonably good. Using validated finite element models, parametric studies were undertaken to investigate effects of the DVW disc sizes and the end distances on shear stresses and normal stresses in a possible failure plane in the joint.
