  • 진안분지 서변 중앙부에 위치한 신리 지역에서는 주로 셰일 협재 조립질 사암과 사암/셰일이 호층을 이루는 만덕산층과 셰일이 우세한 달길층이 분포한다. 이 층들에서는 조립질 사암상, 사암/셰일 호층상, 셰일상 및 화산암상 등의 네 가지 암상이 관찰된다. 조립질 사암과 사암은 저탁암의 특성을 보이며, 셰일은 호수 이암의 특성을 보인다. 따라서 이 퇴적암상은 호수 퇴적물 기원으로 해석된다. 이 퇴적암 내에는 비교적 큰 규모의 습곡 및 스러스트 단층 등이 변형되지 않은 상하부의 퇴적층준 내에 한정되어 발달한다. 습곡 및 스러스트 단층 내에는 팽창(swelling)구조, 부우딘(boudin)구조, 소습곡 및 소규모 역단층 등이 포함되어 있다. 이 곳에 발달하는 두 조의 습곡은 동형 습곡에 해당되며, 하부의 습곡은 습곡의 정도가 층의 상부를 따라 점점 감소하면서 동심(concentric)습곡을 이룬다. 습곡 내 팽창 구조는 습곡의 축면에서, 부댕 구조는 날개부에서 각각 관찰되며 연성 퇴적물이 이동하여 형성되었다. 스러스트 단층에서는 미끌린 면을 따른 연질 퇴적물의 변형과 소규모 습곡 및 이동 사암체 전면부의 로브형(lobe type) 변형이 관찰되며, 계속된 구조 운동으로 인한 듀플렉스(duplex)구조로 발달하였다. 분리된 사암체 전면 상하부 계일 내에는 비대칭성과 킹크(kink)습곡이 각각 관찰된다. 스러스트 단층에서의 팽창 구조, 부우딘 구조, 로브형 변형 및 소습곡 구조들도 퇴적물의 미고화 상태에서의 유동성과 변형을 지시한다. 습곡과 스러스트 단층 모두는 또한 구조의 규모나 퇴적층의 특성에 비해 열극의 발달이 적어, 변형 당시 퇴적물의 가소성을 보여준다. 스러스트 단층의 측면을 따라서는 동시 발달로 추정되는 정단층이 있다. 작은 규모의 변형구조로는 슬럼프, 말린층리, 횡와습곡과 티그마틱 습곡, 불꽃구조 및 짐구조등이 관찰된다. 이는 퇴적동시성에서 준퇴적동시성의 변형구조들로서 분지 퇴적물이 퇴적된 이른 시기부터 조구조 운동이 영향을 미쳤음을 지시한다 이런 여러 가지 특징들은 퇴적물이 퇴적된 시기부터 고화되기까지 분지 지역에 조구조운동이 계속되었음을 지시한다.

  • Interplanetary dust particles are observable as zodiacal light, which is the sunlight scattered by the interplanetary dust particles. The origins of interplanetary dust particles are still in question because they are eroded by Poynting-Robertson photon drag and mutual collisions among dust particles. The small-scale structures in the zodiacal light provided a clue to specify their origins. Asteroidal debris were detected as band-like structures (dust bands), and the cometary large particles were detected as narrow trails (dust trails). However, little is confirmative about their detailed origins and mineralogical compositions because of the lack of observational data particularly in the optical wavelength. We made a high-resolution optical zodiacal light map based on the CCD observations at Mauna Kea, Hawaii. We analyzed data taken on November 12, 2004. After the data reduction, such as flat fielding and subtraction of airglow emissions, we succeeded in the construction of the zodiacal light map with the spatial resolution of 3' in the solar elongation between 45 degree and 180 degree. This is the highest resolution map in the visible wavelength so far. In this map, we confirmed the dust bands structures near the ecliptic plane. We will discuss about the similarities and the differences between optical and infrared dust bands.

  • A new design of distributed crack sensors based on the topological change of transmission line cables is presented for the condition assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures during and immediately after an earthquake event. This study is primarily focused on the performance of cable sensors under dynamic loading, particularly a feature that allows for some "memory" of the crack history of an RC member. This feature enables the post-earthquake condition assessment of structural members such as RC columns, in which the earthquake-induced cracks are closed immediately after an earthquake event due to gravity loads, and are visually undetectable. Factors affecting the onset of the feature were investigated experimentally with small-scale RC beams under cyclic loading. Test results indicated that both crack width and the number of loading cycles were instrumental in the onset of the memory feature of cable sensors. Practical issues related to dynamic acquisition with the sensors are discussed. The sensors were proven to be fatigue resistant from shake table tests of RC columns. The sensors continued to show useful performance after the columns can no longer support additional loads.

  • Sinusoidal wavy channel is one of the most commonly used devices in the industry for achieving mixing and heat transfer. Here we report on results obtained from the DNS of flow inside the wavy channel performed using the finite volume technique. As a primary stage to obtain the optimal design for heat transfer and mixing, this study observed the basic flow structures in a wavy channel. The mass flow rate is kept constant with friction Reynolds number of $Re_{\tau}$ = 140 . Time- and space-averaged and instantaneous flow fields are illustrated to observe the flow structures. Although the direct comparison of results between turbulent wavy and flat channel is somehow difficult due to the different flow phenomena derived from different configuration, here the mean streamwise velocity and RMS of velocities at same $Re_{\tau}$ of two different channels are compared. The basic difference between wavy and flat channel flow is the existence of small scale wall vortices along the walls in a wavy channel. These vortices make flow more complex, which will accompany the increase of heat transfer, pressure drop and drag.

  • Real-time hybrid testing is an attractive method to evaluate the response of structures under earthquake loads. The method is a variation of the pseudodynamic testing technique in which the experiment is executed in real time, thus allowing investigation of structural systems with time-dependent components. Real-time hybrid testing is challenging because it requires performance of all calculations, application of displacements, and acquisition of measured forces, within a very small increment of time. Furthermore, unless appropriate compensation for time delays and actuator time lag is implemented, stability problems are likely to occur during the experiment. This paper presents an approach for real-time hybrid testing in which time delay/lag compensation is implemented using model-based response prediction. The efficacy of the proposed strategy is verified by conducting substructure real-time hybrid testing of a steel frame under earthquake loads. For the initial set of experiments, a specimen with linear-elastic behavior is used. Experimental results agree well with the analytical solution and show that the proposed approach and testing system are capable of achieving a time-scale expansion factor of one (i.e., real time). Additionally, the proposed method allows accurate testing of structures with larger frequencies than when using conventional time delay compensation methods, thus extending the capabilities of the real-time hybrid testing technique. The method is then used to test a structure with a rate-dependent energy dissipation device, a magnetorheological damper. Results show good agreement with the predicted responses, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method to test rate-dependent components.

  • 본 논문에서는 모드형상을 이용한 트러스 구조물의 손상탐지 방법을 소개하였다. 트러스 부재에 대한 손상탐지 이론은 손상 전과 손상 후의 모달 변형에너지의 차이점을 이용하여 정립하였으며, 이론의 타당성을 조사하기 위하여 1:6 축척의 6각형 트러스 구조물의 실험 데이터에 이론을 적용하였다. 손상 실험은 총 17가지의 시나리오로 구성되어 있으며, 손상 타입은 3가지로 구성되어있다. 17가지 실험 데이터에 대한 손상평가 결과, 본 연구에서 제안한 방법으로 트러스 부재의 손상을 성공적으로 탐지할 수 있었으며, 비교적 작은 손상의 경우 계측 데이터의 노이즈가 손상탐지 성능에 많은 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다.

  • In this work, a nonlocal quasi-3D trigonometric plate theory for micro/nanoscale plates is proposed. In order to introduce the size influences, the Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory is utilized. In addition, the theory considers both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by a trigonometric variation of all displacements within the thickness, and respects the stress-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without considering the shear correction factor. The advantage of this theory is that, in addition to considering the small scale and thickness stretching effects (${\varepsilon}_z{\neq}0$), the displacement field is modelled with only 5 unknowns as the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). Analytical solutions for vibration of simply supported micro/nanoscale plates are illustrated, and the computed results are compared with the available solutions in the literature and finite element model using ABAQUS software package. The influences of the nonlocal parameter, shear deformation and thickness stretching on the vibration behaviors of the micro/nanoscale plates are examined.

  • This paper investigates the stability of a bi-directional functionally graded (BD-FG) cylindrical beam made of imperfect concrete, taking into account size-dependency and the effect of geometry on its stability behavior. Both buckling and dynamic behavior are analyzed using the modified coupled stress theory and the classical beam theory. The BD-FG structure is created by using porosity-dependent FG concrete, with changing porosity voids and material distributions along the pipe radius, as well as uniform and nonuniform radius functions that vary along the beam length. Energy principles are used to generate partial differential equations (PDE) for stability analysis, which are then solved numerically. This study sheds light on the complex behavior of BD-FG structures, and the results can be useful for the design of stable cylindrical microstructures.

  • The Rosette-joining system is a completely new press-joining method for cold-formed steel structures. One Rosette-joint has a shear capacity equal to that of approximately four screws or rivets. The Rosette thin-walled steel truss system presents a new fully integrated prefabricated alternative to light-weight roof truss structures. The trusses are built up on special industrial production lines from modified top hat sections used as top and bottom chords and channel sections used as webs which are joined together with the Rosette press-joining technique to form a completed structure easy to transport and install. A single web section is used when sufficient but can be strengthened by double-nesting two separate sections or by using two lateral profiles where greater compressive axial forces are met. An individual joint in the truss can be strengthened by introducing a hollow bolt into the joint hole. The bolt gives the connection capacity a boost of approximately 20%. A series of laboratory tests have been carried out in order to verify the Rosette truss system in practice. In addition to compression tests on individual sections of different lengths, tests have also been done on small structural assemblies and on actual full-scale trusses of a span of 10 metres. Design calculations have been performed on selected roof truss geometries based on the test results, FE-analysis and on the Eurocode 3 and U.S.(AISI) design codes.

  • This paper addresses theoretically the bending and buckling behaviors of size-dependent nanobeams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) including the thickness stretching effect. The size-dependent FGM nanobeam is investigated on the basis of the nonlocal continuum model. The nonlocal elastic behavior is described by the differential constitutive model of Eringen, which enables the present model to become effective in the analysis and design of nanostructures. The present model incorporates the length scale parameter (nonlocal parameter) which can capture the small scale effect, and furthermore accounts for both shear deformation and thickness stretching effects by virtue of a sinusoidal variation of all displacements through the thickness without using shear correction factor. The material properties of FGM nanobeams are assumed to vary through the thickness according to a power law. The governing equations and the related boundary conditions are derived using the principal of minimum total potential energy. A Navier-type solution is developed for simply-supported boundary conditions, and exact expressions are proposed for the deflections and the buckling load. The effects of nonlocal parameter, aspect ratio and various material compositions on the static and stability responses of the FGM nanobeam are discussed in detail. The study is relevant to nanotechnology deployment in for example aircraft structures.
