An expert system for estimation of fatigue properties from simple tensile data of material is developed, considering nearly all important estimation methods proposed so far, i.e., 7 estimation methods. The expert system is developed using an expert system shell, UNIK, and the knowledge base is constructed with production rules and frames. Forward chaining is employed as a reasoning method. The expert system has three major functions including the function to update the knowledge base. The performance of the expert system is tested using the 54 ${\sigma}-N$ curves consisting of 381 ${\sigma}-N$ data points obtained for 22 materials. It is found that the expert system developed has excellent performance especially for steel materials, and reasonably good for titanium alloys.

This paper explores the governing differential equations for the non-linear behavior of shear deformable simple beam with a concentrated load. In order to apply the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory to simple beam, the bending moment equation on any point of the elastica is obtained by concentrated load. The Runge-Kutta and Regula-Felsi methods, respectively, are used to integrate the governing differential equations and to compute the beam's rotation at the left end of the beams. The characteristic values of deflection curves for various load parameters are calculated and discussed

단순하면서도 다양한 곡선과 곡면 모습을 생성할 수 있기 때문에 캐드나 그래픽 패키지에서 빈번히 사용되는 스플라인 중 하나가 베지에 곡선이다. 곡선 설계의 편의성 면에서 볼 때 이 곡선이 지닌 가장 큰 장점은 부드러움을 유지하면서도 곡선의 양 끝점에서 사용자가 제시한 기울기 방향을 따라 간다는 점이다. 본 논문은 확장된 베지에 곡선의 공식을 유도함으로써, 곡선이 중점 부근에서도 사용자가 제시한 기울기 방향을 따라갈 수 있도록 하였다. 이는 사용자가 제시한 기울기 벡터를 분석하고 그 결과를 베지에 기반함수 행렬에 매개변수의 형태로 반영함으로써 가능하다. 결과적으로 사용자로서는 양 끝점을 포함하여 중점에 또 하나의 기울기 핸들을 사용하여 추가적으로 더욱 정밀한 베지에 곡선을 생성할 수 있게 된다.

In order to study the degradation and damage behaviors of steel frame welded connections, two series of tests in references with different connection constructions were carried out subjected to various cyclic loading patterns. Hysteretic curves, degradation and damage behaviours and fatigue properties of specimens were firstly studied. Typical failure modes and probable damage reasons were discussed. Then, various damage index models with variables of dissipative energy, cumulative displacement and combined energy and displacement were summarized and applied for all experimental specimens. The damage developing curves of ten damage index models for each connection were obtained. Finally, the predicted and evaluated capacities of damage index models were compared in order to describe the degraded performance and failure modes. The characteristics of each damage index model were discussed in depth, and then their distributive laws were summarized. The tests and analysis results showed that the loading histories significantly affected the distributive shapes of damage index models. Different models had their own ranges of application. The selected parameters of damage index models had great effect on the developing trends of damage curves. The model with only displacement variable was recommended because of a more simple form and no integral calculation, which was easier to be formulated and embedded in application programs.

This paper deals with a unified way for calculating vortex-induced vibrations (Aeolian vibrations in transmission line parlance) of undamped single overhead conductors. The main objective of the paper is to identify reduced parameters which would unify the predicted vibration response to the largest possible extent. This is actually done by means of a simple mathematical transformation resulting, for a given terrain (associated to a given wind turbulence intensity), into a single, unified response curve that is applicable to any single multi-layered aluminium conductor. In order to further validate the above process, the predicted, unified response curve is compared with measured response curves drawn from tests run on a full-scale test line using several aluminium-conductor-steel-reinforced (ACSR), all-alloy-aluminium-conductor (AAAC) and aluminium-conductor-alloy-reinforced (ACAR) conductors strung at different tensions. On account of the expected scatter in the results from such field tests, the agreement is shown to be good. The final results are expressed by means of only four different curves pertaining to four different terrain characteristics. These curves may then be used to assess the vibration response of any undamped single, multi-layer aluminium conductor of any diameter, strung at any practical tension.

기둥의 축력-모멘트-곡률곡선으로 결정된 등가강성을 이용하여 P-${\Delta}$- 해석을 수행하는 방법은 횡화중을 받는 철근콘크리트 장주의 극한지지력을 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있으나 실무설계에 이용하기에는 복잡한 방법이다. 보다 효율적인 해석과정을 위하여 시방서상 사용가능한 기둥단면에 대한 축력-모멘트-곡률곡선과 이에 따른 등가강성을 구하고, 이를 간편하게 계산할 수 있는 등가강성식을 제안하였다. 제안된 강성식을 P-${\Delta}$ 해석법과 모멘트확대법에 적용하여 실험치와 비교하여 해석의 정확도를 확인하였다. 횡하중을 받는 철근콘크리트장주의 설계시 제안된 강성식을 입력자료로 이용한다면 좀더 간편하게 P-${\Delta}$ 해석을 수행할 수 있을 것이며, 시방서에서 규정된 모멘트확대법의 기둥강성식 대신 사용한다면 모멘트확대법의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The Preisach model needs a distribution function or Everett function to simulate the hysteresis phenomena. To obtain these functions, many experimental data obtained from the first order transition curves are usually required. In this paper, a simple procedure to determine the Preisach density function using the Gaussian distribution function and genetic algorithm is proposed. The Preisach density function for the interaction field axis is known to have Gaussian distribution. To determine the density and distribution, genetic algorithm is adopted to decide the Gaussian parameters. With this method, just basic data like the initial magnetization curve or saturation curves are enough to get the agreeable density function. The results are compared with experimental data and we got good agreements comparing the simulation results with the experiment ones.

This study aimed at the introduction of desktop method for assessment of environmental flows developed by International Water Management Institute (IWMI) recently and its application to Geum river basin. This scheme simulated the influence on aquatic ecosystem caused by watershed development and in turn the decrease of water quantity keeping the river's own flow regime. It was found to be as very effective method although it had simple structure. Flow duration curves for different environmental classes at Sutong and Gongjoo sites were estimated according to the natural conditional scenario of Geum river basin and the results were relatively compared well with the previous studies. The behaviors of monthly average runoff time series of both sites showed the level of A class. The results of this study would provide the fundamental data to establish the future plans of monitoring or management for aquatic ecosystem of Geum river basin.

To study properties of the pulsation in the infrared emission for long period variables, we have collected and analyzed the infrared observational data at M band for 12 OH/IR stars. We present the light curves using the data that cover about 30 years including recent observations of ISO and Spitzer. We use Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm to determine the pulsation periods and amplitudes and compare them with previous results of infrared and radio investigations. Generally, the newly determined pulsation parameters show much less errors because of the larger database. We find that the relationship between the pulsation period and amplitudes at M band is fairly well fitted with a simple linear equation in a wide period range. For OH 42.3-0.1, we find some evidences that the object could be a post-asymptotic giant branch star.

In this study, effect of steel fibers on toughness and some mechanical properties of concrete were investigated. Hooked-end steel fibers were used in concrete samples with three volume fractions (${\nu}_f$) of 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% and for two aspect ratios (l/d) of 45 and 65. Compressive and flexural tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete were determined for cylindrical, cubic and prismatic samples at the age of 7 and 28 days. The stress-strain curves of standard cylindrical specimens were studied to determine the effect of steel fibers on toughness of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC). In addition, the relationship between compressive strength and the flexural tensile strength of SFRC were reported. Finally, a simple model was proposed to generate the stress-strain curves for SFRC based on strains corresponding to the peak compressive strength and 60% of peak compressive stress. The proposed model was shown to provide results in good correlation with the experimental results.
