The present study focuses on examining the structural behaviour of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams under high rates of loading largely associated with impact problems. Fibres are added to the concrete mix to enhance ductility and energy absorption, which is important for impact-resistant design. A simple, yet practical non-linear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) model was used in the present study. Experimental static and impact tests were also carried out on beams spanning 1.3 meter with weights dropped from heights of 1.5 m and 2.5 m, respectively. The numerical model realistically describes the fully-brittle tensile behaviour of plain concrete as well as the contribution of steel fibres to the post-cracking response (the latter was allowed for by conveniently adjusting the constitutive relations for plain concrete, mainly in uniaxial tension). Suitable material relations (describing compression, tension and shear) were selected for SFRC and incorporated into ABAQUS software Brittle Cracking concrete model. A more complex model (i.e., the Damaged Plasticity concrete model in ABAQUS) was also considered and it was found that the seemingly simple (but fundamental) Brittle Cracking model yielded reliable results. Published data obtained from drop-weight experimental tests on RC and SFRC beams indicates that there is an increase in the maximum load recorded (compared to the corresponding static one) and a reduction in the portion of the beam span reacting to the impact load. However, there is considerable scatter and the specimens were often tested to complete destruction and thus yielding post-failure characteristics of little design value and making it difficult to pinpoint the actual load-carrying capacity and identify the associated true ultimate limit state (ULS). To address this, dynamic NLFEA was employed and the impact load applied was reduced gradually and applied in pulses to pinpoint the actual failure point. Different case studies were considered covering impact loading responses at both the material and structural levels as well as comparisons between RC and SFRC specimens. Steel fibres were found to increase the load-carrying capacity and deformability by offering better control over the cracking process concrete undergoes and allowing the impact energy to be absorbed more effectively compared to conventional RC members. This is useful for impact-resistant design of SFRC beams.

이 논문에서는 단면성질을 나타내는 모멘트-곡률 관계에 토대를 둔 해석모델을 제안하였다. 기존의 제안된 해석방법에서는 모멘트-곡률 관계가 완전부착을 가정한 휨거동만을 주요한 거동으로 가정하여 구조물의 응답을 과소평가하고 강성을 과대평가한 것과는 달리 제안된 해석 방법에서는 접합부의 부착슬립에 의한 강체변형을 산정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였고 나아가 등가휨강성을 이용하여 부착슬립에 의한 강체변형을 고려한 철근콘크리트 구조물의 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 모멘트-곡률 관계를 철근의 항복점을 기준으로 두개의 직선으로 간편화 시킴으로써 해석의 효율성을 높이는 한편 고려해야 할 비선형 거동특성을 효과적으로 반영하였다. 마지막으로 철근콘크리트 구조물의 비선형 해석에 대한 제안된 모델식의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 해석결과와 실험값들의 비교를 수행하였다.

The mathematical modeling on the free vibration and stability of a multi-stepped shaft of turbo compressor is performed in this study. The multi-stepped shaft is modeled as a non-uniform Timoshenko beam supported by anisotropic bearings. It is assumed that the shaft is spinning with constant speed about its longitudinal axis and subjected to a conservative axial force induced by front and rear impellers attached to the shaft. The structural model incorporates non-classical features such as transverse shear and rotary inertia. A structural coupling between vertical and lateral motions is induced by Coriolis acceleration terms. The governing equations are derived via Hamilton's variational principle and the equations are transformed to the standard form of an eigenvalue problem. The implications of combined gyroscopic effect, conservative axial force, bearing stiffness and damping are revealed and a number of pertinent conclusions are outlined. In this study analytical results are compared with those from ANSYS finite element analysis and experimental modal testing.

LCP원섬유(fibril)와 폴리아미드6 (PA6)수지로 사출성형된 복합재료 박판(molded thin composite plaques)의 미세구조와 굽힘강도에 대한 에폭시수지 함유율의 효과를 살펴보았다. 성형은 LCP원섬유의 용융점 이하에서 하였으며 이렇게 만들어진 판재는 횡방향 배향을 보이는 두께 $65-120{\mu\textrm{m}}$의 표피층(surface skin layer), 유동방향과 거의 일치하는 배향을 보이는 표피아래층(sub-skin layer), 아크형 곡선유동형태를 보이는 심층(core layer)으로 구성되어 있었다. 에폭시함유율이 달라도 각 층의 미세구조방향은 유사하였으나 에폭시함유율이 증가함에 따라 LCP영역(domain)이 원섬유상에서 층상구조로 변했고 거시적 파괴진로(fracture path)는 인장형에서 전단형으로 바뀌었다. 또한 에폭시 4.8vol%에서 가장 우수한 굽힘강도와 파단변형율을 보였다. 굽힘강도를 수치해석한 결과 에폭시성분을 복합재에 부가하면 각 층의 두께와 미세구조 같은 기하학적인 형태가 변하면서 각 층 자체의 탄성계수와 강도가 열등화 되었음을 알았다.

The flexural behaviour of steel beams significantly affects the structural performance of the steel frame structures. In particular, the flexural overstrength (namely the ratio between the maximum bending moment and the plastic bending strength) that steel beams may experience is the key parameter affecting the seismic design of non-dissipative members in moment resisting frames. The aim of this study is to present a new formulation of flexural overstrength factor for steel beams by means of artificial neural network (NN). To achieve this purpose, a total of 141 experimental data samples from available literature have been collected in order to cover different cross-sectional typologies, namely I-H sections, rectangular and square hollow sections (RHS-SHS). Thus, two different data sets for I-H and RHS-SHS steel beams were formed. Nine critical prediction parameters were selected for the former while eight parameters were considered for the latter. These input variables used for the development of the prediction models are representative of the geometric properties of the sections, the mechanical properties of the material and the shear length of the steel beams. The prediction performance of the proposed NN model was also compared with the results obtained using an existing formulation derived from the gene expression modeling. The analysis of the results indicated that the proposed formulation provided a more reliable and accurate prediction capability of beam overstrength.

숏크리트의 지보성능을 보완하기 위해 사용되는 강지보재는 매우 효과적인 것으로 평가되지만 강지보재 종류별 성능이 파악되지 못하여 설계에 제대로 반영하지는 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 강지보재에 의해 보강된 숏크리트의 특성을 휨인성 시험을 통하여 파악하고, 그 결과를 수치해석에 반영하고자 하였다. 시험결과 철근보강 숏크리트는 H 형강이나 격자지보에 비해 지보능력이 다소 못 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 시험체가 휨인장 파괴를 유도하기에는 다소 짧아서 전단파괴가 발생하였기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 수치해석을 이용한 안정성 해석 시 숏크리트와 강지보재를 별도로, 그리고 이들 복합체에 대한 등가물성을 구하여 각각 해석한 바 두 결과가 잘 일치하여 등가물성을 이용한 복합체 해석으로도 간편하게 강지보재의 효과를 모사할 수 있었다.

In-plane and out-of-plane free vibration analysis of Timoshenko curved beams is addressed based on the isogeometric method, and an effective scheme to avoid numerical locking in both of the two patterns is proposed in this paper. The isogeometric computational model takes into account the effects of shear deformation, rotary inertia and axis extensibility of curved beams, and is applicable for uniform circular beams, and more complicated variable curvature and cross-section beams as illustrated by numerical examples. Meanwhile, it is shown that, the $C^{p-1}$-continuous NURBS elements remarkably have higher accuracy than the finite elements with the same number of degrees of freedom. Nevertheless, for in-plane or out-of-plane vibration analysis of Timoshenko curved beams, the NURBS-based isogeometric method also exhibits locking effect to some extent. To eliminate numerical locking, the selective reduced one-point integration and $\bar{B}$ projection element based on stiffness ratio is devised to achieve locking free analysis for in-plane and out-of-plane models, respectively. The suggested integral schemes for moderately slender models obtain accurate results in both dominated and non-dominated regions of locking effect. Moreover, this strategy is effective for beam structures with different slenderness. Finally, the influence factors of structural parameters of curved beams on their natural frequency are scrutinized.

Creation of plastic deformation under seismic loads, is one of the most serious subjects in RC structures with steel bars which reduces the life threatening risks and increases dissipation of energy. Shape memory alloy (SMA) is one of the best choice for the relocating plastic hinges. In a challenge to study the seismic response of concrete moment resisting frame (MRF), this article investigates numerically a new type of concrete frames with nano fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) and shape memory alloy (SMA) hinges, simultaneously. The NFRP layer is containing carbon nanofibers with agglomeration based on Mori-Tanaka model. The tangential shear deformation (TASDT) is applied for modelling of the structure and the continuity boundary conditions are used for coupling of the motion equations. In SMA connections between beam and columns, since there is phase transformation, hence, the motion equations of the structure are coupled with kinetic equations of phase transformation. The Hernandez-Lagoudas theory is applied for demonstrating of pseudoelastic characteristics of SMA. The corresponding motion equations are solved by differential cubature (DC) and Newmark methods in order to obtain the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and residual drift ratio for MRF-2%. The main impact of this paper is to present the influences of the volume percent and agglomeration of nanofibers, thickness and length of the concrete frame, SMA material and NFRP layer on the PGA and drift ratio. The numerical results revealed that the with increasing the volume percent of nanofibers, the PGA is enhanced and the residual drift ratio is reduced. It is also worth to mention that PGA of concrete frame with NFRP layer containing 2% nanofibers is approximately equal to the concrete frame with steel bars.
