Tunnel construction activity, conducted mainly in mountains and within urban centres, causes soil settlement, thus requiring the relevant management of slopes and structures as well as evaluations of risk and stability. Accordingly, in this study we performed a three-dimensional finite element analysis to examine the behaviour of piles and pile cap stability when a tunnel passes near the bottom of the foundation of a pile group connected by a pile cap. We examined the results via numerical analysis considering different conditions for reinforcement of the ground between the tunnel and the pile foundation. The numerical analysis assessed the angular distortion of the pile cap, pile settlement, axial force, shear stress, relative displacement, and volume loss due to tunnel excavation, and pile cap stability was evaluated based on Son and Cording's evaluation criterion for damage to adjacent structures. The pile located closest to the tunnel under the condition of no ground reinforcement exhibited pile head settlement approximately 70% greater than that of the pile located farthest from the tunnel under the condition of greatest ground reinforcement. Additionally, pile head settlement was greatest when the largest volume loss occurred, being approximately 18% greater than pile head settlement under the condition having the smallest volume loss. This paper closely examines the main factors influencing the behaviour of a pile group connected by a pile cap for three ground reinforcement conditions and presents an evaluation of pile cap stability.

The sandwich structure, consisting of a core and a face sheet, is used for lightweight structural application. Generally, cellular structures like honeycomb, foam, and lattice structures are utilized for the core. Among these, lattice structures have several advantages over other types of structures. In other studies, curved lattice structures were reported to have higher mechanical properties than straight structures by converting shear stresses acting on the structure into compressive stresses. Moreover, the addition of vertical struts can have a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the lattice structure. For the purpose, two lattice structures with Circle Arch (CC) and Circular Arch with a vertical column (CC_C) were studied, which were fabricated by using selective laser sintering was conducted. The result showed that CC_C has dramatic performance improvements in specific strength, modulus, and strain energy density compared to CC, confirming that vertical struts played a significant role in the lattice core. Finite element analysis was employed to determine the cause of the stress behavior of CC and CC_C. This study is expected to help design structurally superior lattice cores and sandwich structures.

Wave propagation with high transverse deflection could affect the stability of the ball in its trajectory. For low stiffness balls similar to soccer and volleyball balls, the waves are more noticeable in comparison to other balls like ping-pong ball. On the other hand, the soccer balls are under heavy impact loads from shoots and contacting different objects in the field. The maximum recorded speed of a soccer ball after kicking is the 211 km/hr and the average maximum speed is around 112 km/hr. Therefore, in such speeds the aerodynamic forces become important which are directly related to geometrical shape of the ball. In this regard, the wave propagation in soccer ball is examined in the current study using large deformation shear deformable formulations. Classical relations of stress-strain components are taken into consideration along with minimum total energy principle. The final derived relations were solved by using harmonic differential quadrature method. The results are generally presented ion term of phase velocity as function of different influencing parameters of the materials, geometry and mass of the ball.

Many of small-scale devices should be designed to tolerate high temperature changes. In the present study, the states of buckling and stability of nano-scale cylindrical shell structure integrated with piezoelectric layer under various thermal and electrical external loadings are scrutinized. In this regard, a multi-layer composite shell reinforced with graphene nano-platelets (GNP) having different patterns of layer configurations is modeled. An outer layer of piezoelectric material receiving external voltage is also attached to the cylindrical shell for the aim of observing the effects of voltage on the thermal buckling condition. The cylindrical shell is mathematically modeled with first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Linear elasticity relationship with constant thermal expansion coefficient is used to extract the relationship between stress and strain components. Moreover, minimum virtual work, including the work of the piezoelectric layer, is engaged to derive equations of motion. The derived equations are solved using numerical method to find out the effects of temperature and external voltage on the buckling stability of the shell structure. It is revealed that the boundary condition, external voltage and geometrical parameter of the shell structure have notable effects on the temperature rise required for initiating instability in the cylindrical shell structure.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 인천 남구 시화호 연안의 퇴적토를 가토제(containment dyke)내에 펌핑 매립한 인천 LNG 인수기지 조성부지 내의 준설지반과 인근 시화호 조성공사 지역의 해성퇴적토에 대해 토질시험을 실시하여 토질정수를 산정하고, 돌핀 기초말뚝의 배열 조건을 달리하여 태풍 내습 시 돌핀에 작용하는 최대 파고에 의한 돌핀 기초말뚝의 변위, 전단력과 모멘트에 대한 거동 특성을 해석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 최대 심해설계파와 만내발생파의 파력에 의한 돌핀구조물의 거동은 일반적으로 준설토와 퇴적토의 지반반력계수 보다는 말뚝 직경의 크기에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 돌핀구조물 기초말뚝을 직항으로 모델링한 경우와 경사말뚝을 조항으로 모델링한 경우, 조항이 직항보다 돌핀에 작용하는 외력에 대해 수십 배 이상의 저항효과가 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다.

충적하천의 하상과 제방은 흐름에 의해 쉽게 침식되는 사립자들로 구성되어 있다. 흐름이 더욱 강해지면 커다란 입자들도 움직이게 되고 더욱 커지면 결국 모든 입자들이 움직인다. 이렇게 흐름에 의해 하상과 제방을 구성하는 사립자들이 움직이기 시작하는 상태를 한계운동이라 하며, 이때의 흐름조건을 한계조건이라 한다. 한계조건은 이동상 수리학의 시작으로, 이때부터 흐름은 물과 유사의 혼합이라는 이상류가 되어 순수한 물의 흐름보다 더 복잡하게 된다. 개수로는 관수로와 달리 반드시 자유수면이 있으며, 따라서 물과 공기와의 마찰은 상대적으로 매우 작으므로 개수로의 전단응력 분포는 관수로와 달리 근본적으로 비대칭이다. 따라서 전단응력은 수로 바닥이나 측벽에서만 작용하게 된다. 한계조건은 이러한 추상적인 의미에 앞서 바닥이 침식되지 않는 하도나 수로의 설계 등에 기본적인 자료가 된다. 개수로에서 경계면의 전단응력을 힘으로 표시하는 것을 통상 소류력이라 하며, 개수로 경계면에서 전단응력의 분포도; 이른바 단면의 평균 전단응력의 개념을 도입하여 해석하고 설계기준으로 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자연하천과 유사한 조건의 건설기술연구원 하천실험센터의 급경사수로에서 연구를 진행하였으며, 기존 연구를 바탕으로 제작된 소류력 측정장치를 이용하였다. 하천의 설계나 평가에 적용되는 평균 소류력 개념은 복잡한 난류흐름에서 평가지표로써 대표하기 힘들기 때문에 유사 하천환경의 바닥에서 발생하는 소류력을 직접 측정하고자 연구를 진행하였고, 연구결과를 기존의 소류력 산정방법과 비교하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 장치는 실규모 실험을 위해 제작되었으며, 실규모 적용성 검토를 위해 실험실에서 충분한 검증실험을 거친 후 실규모 실험에 적용하였다.

The structural design of a wind turbine must show the verification of the structural integrity of all load-carrying components. Also, design load calculations shall be performed using appropriate and accurate methods. In this study, advanced numerical approach for the calculation of design loads based on unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented considering extreme design load conditions such as the extreme coherent gust (ECG) and the 50 year extreme operating gust (EOG). Unsteady aerodynamic loads are calculated based on Reynolds average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with shear-stress transport k-ω(SST k-ω) turbulent model. A full three-dimensional 5 MW offshore wind-turbine model with rotating blades, hub, nacelle, and tower configuration is practically considered and its aerodynamic interference effect among blades, nacelle, and tower is also accurately considered herein. Calculated blade loads based on unsteady CFD method with respect to blade azimuth angle are compared with those by NREL FAST code and physically investigated in detail.

Sandwich structures with the superior mechanical properties such as high stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal insulation, and high energy absorption capacity are used today in aerospace, automotive, marine, and civil engineering industries. These structures are composed of moderately stiff, thin face sheets that withstand the majority of transverse and in-plane loads, separated by a thick, lightweight core that resists shear forces. In this research, the finite element technique is used to simulate a sandwich panel with a truss core under axial compressive stress using ABAQUS software. A review of past experimental studies shows that the bondline between the core and face sheets plays a vital role in the critical failure load. Therefore, this modeling analyzes the damage initiation modes and debonding between face sheet and core by cohesive surface contact with traction-separation model. According to the results obtained from the modeling, it can be observed that the adhesive stiffness has a significant influence on the critical failure load of the specimens. To achieve the full strength of the structure as a continuum, a lower limit is obtained for the adhesive stiffness. By providing this limit stiffness between the core and the panel face sheets, sudden failure of the structure can be prevented.

Turbulent flow over a fully-developed wavy channel is investigated by the nonlinear $k-\varepsilon-f_\mu$ model of Park et al.⁽¹⁾ The Reynolds number is fixed at $Re_{b}$ = 6760 through all wave amplitudes and the wave configuration is varied in the range of $0\leq\alpha/\lambda\leq0.15$ and $0.25\leq{\lambda}/H\leq4.0$. The predicted results for wavy channel are validated by comparing with the DNS data of Maa$\beta$ and Schumann⁽²⁾ The model performance Is shown to be generally satisfactory. As the wave amplitude increases, it is found that the form drag grows linearly and the friction drag is overwhelmed by the form drag. In order to verify these characteristics, a large eddy simulation is performed for four cases. The dynamic model of Germane et al.⁽³⁾ is adopted. Finally, the effects of wavy amplitude on separated shear layer are scrutinized.
