Cracking of slabs will be caused by applied load and volume changes during the life of a structure and thus it reduces flexural stiffness of slabs. The effect of slab cracking must be considered for appropriate modeling of the flexural stiffness for frame members used in structural analysis. Analytical and experimental study was undertaken to estimate the stiffness reduction of slabs. In the analytical approach, the trend of slab stiffness reduction related to gravity and lateral loads is found and the stiffness reduction factor ranged from a half to a quarter in ACI building code is reasonable when defining range. Analyzing results of the test by Hwang and Moehle for 0.5% drift show that the differences of rotational stiffness on the connection types is found and good results of lateral stiffness using the value of one-third is obtained.

The aim of this study is to suggest the method of measuring the dynamic stiffness and loss factor of materials used under floating floors in the dwelling by korea standard (KS F 2868). According to the results, the amplitude change of an impact source have no effect on the variation of the dynamic stiffness and loss factor. Comparing with the heating before, heating makes lower the dynamic stiffness except the EPS. In EVA material, the loss factor is increased by heating.

진동판 변위의 비선형적 운동에 의해 발생하는 스피커의 비선형왜곡은 음질을 열화시킨다. 이러한 비선형왜곡은 저주파 대역의 경우 주로 스피커의 지지부의 강성과 force factor의 비선형 특성에 의해 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 진동판 변위에 따라 변화하는 스피커의 비선형 강성과 비선형 force factor를 2차함수로 모델링하고 각각의 계수를 결정하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 진동판에 질량을 부가하여 동작점을 이동시키는 기계적인 방법을 사용하여 강성과 force factor 간의 커플링을 배제하였으며, 여러 동작점에서의 공진주파수를 측정함으로써 비선형 강성의 계수를 추출하였다. 비선형 force factor의 계수는 공진주파수에서 스피커에의 입력전압, 입력전류, 그리고 진동판 변위를 측정하여 얻은 그래프를 curve fitting 함으로써 구하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the current status and influence factor in measuring the dynamic stiffness of damping materials. The property of the dynamic stiffness of damping materials was tested and analysed in condition such as the size of test samples and the change of relative humidity in heating chamber. Test results showed that the dynamic stiffness of after-heating was lower than that of before-heating in most samples and the change of relative humidity in heating chamber got little influence of the dynamic stiffness. The resonant frequency of test sample decreased $2{\sim}7Hz$ as the decrease of the size of sample. Because it was increased that total mass per unit area of sample, the change of dynamic stiffness had little influence.

The purpose of this study is to propose a modification factor to reflect the lateral stiffness modification when a step is located in flat plates. Reinforced concrete slabs with steps have different structural characteristics that are demonstrated by a series of structural experiment and nonlinear analyses. The corner at the step is weak and flexible, and the associated rotational stiffness degradation at the corner of the step is identified through analyses of 6 types of models using a nonlinear finite element program. Then a systematic analysis of stiffness changes is performed using a linear finite element procedure along with rotational springs. The lateral stiffness of reinforced concrete flat plates with steps is mainly affected by the step length, location, thickness and height. Therefore, a single modification factor for each of these variables is obtained, while other variables are constrained. When multiple variables are considered, each single modification factor is multiplied by the other. Such a method is verified by a comparative analysis. Finally, a complex modification factor can be applied to the existing effective slab width.

The focus of this study is to estimate the stiffness factor of the separator plate of MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell) at the elevated temperature. The process factors affecting the stiffness of the separator plate were chosen to determine the most important factor using the finite element analysis with the Taguchi method. The most influential factor, picked out by the ANOYA, turned out the pitch in the separator plate.

본 연구는 도시철도 콘크리트궤도에 적용된 침목플로팅궤도와 목침목 분기기 궤도의 궤도지지강성과 궤도충격계수의 상관관계분석을 위해 운행선 현장측정을 수행하여 분기기 궤도의 위치별 궤도지지강성과 궤도충격계수를 측정하였다. 본선의 일반 궤도구조인 침목플로팅궤도의 궤도지지강성은 침목방진패드의 스프링강성에 지배적인 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 일반궤도와 분기기 위치별 궤도지지강성의 차이는 궤도충격계수에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구결과, 침목플로팅 궤도구조와 분기기 궤도구조의 궤도지지강성과 궤도충격계수는 위치별로 큰 차이를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본선 일반구간과 분기기 궤도의 궤도지지강성의 편차를 최소화 하여 궤도충격을 저감시키는 방안이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.

To enhance cable stiffness, this paper proposed a combined application of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and steel materials, resulting in a novel type of hybrid stay cable system especially for the cable-stayed bridges with main span lengths of 1400~2800 m. In this combination, CFRP materials can conserve all their advantages such as light weight and high strength; while steel materials help increase the equivalent stiffness to compensate for the low elastic modulus of CFRP materials. An increase of the equivalent stiffness of the hybrid stay cable system could be further obtained with a reasonable increase of its safety factor. Following this concept, a series of parametric studies for the hybrid stay cable system with the consideration of stiffness and cost were carried out. Three design strategies/criteria, namely, best equivalent stiffness with a given safety factor, highest ratio of equivalent stiffness to material cost with a given safety factor, and best equivalent stiffness under a given cost were proposed from the stiffness and cost viewpoints. Finally, a comprehensive design procedure following the proposed design strategies was suggested. It was shown that the proposed hybrid stay cable system could be a good alternative to the pure CFRP or traditional steel stay cables in the future applications of super long span bridges.

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is used to non-invasively estimate the severity of arteriosclerosis by measuring arterial stiffness. Increased arterial stiffness measured by PWV stands for progressive arteriosclerosis and is caused by atherosclerotic risk factors. This study is focused on how brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is related to the leading risk factors for arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis. Subjects were 114, 69 males and 45 females who are in 60's and had baPWV test for acute stroke. The results are as follows: the group with increased arterial stiffness showed significant increase in HbA1c, total cholesterol, BSBP (brachial artery systolic blood pressure), BDBP (brachial artery diastolic blood pressure), CSBP (central artery systolic blood pressure), CDBP (central artery diastolic blood pressure), augmentation index (AIx) and diabetes mellitus. Correlation analysis between baPWV and atherosclerotic risk factor showed significant relationship in age, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, BSBP, BDBP, CSBP, CDBP and augmentation index. baPWV was independently related to age and BSBP in multiple linear regression analysis. The group with increased arterial stiffness was independently related to BDBP in multiple logistic regression analysis. This study might be meaningful in evaluating the relationship between arterial stiffness and atherosclerotic risk factor in a new way, and be helped to make various studies for cardiovascular disease.

A two-dimensional program for the analysis of bimaterial inclusion has been developed using the bound- ary element method. In order to study the effects of circular inclusion on the stress field of the crack tip, numerical analysis was performed for the straight crack of finite length around the symmetric circular inclusion whose modulus of elasticity was different from that of the matrix material. In the case of inclusion whose stiffness was smaller than that of the matrix material, the stress intensity factor was found to increase as the crack enamated. The stress intensity factor was uninfluenced from the radial change in inclusion and remained constant for the stiffness equivalent to the matrix materials, where as it decreased for the inclusion with larger stiffness. For the vareation in the distance of the inclusion, a small increase in the stress intensity factor was observed for the case with small or equal stiffness compared with the matrix materials. The inclusion with larger stiffness showed a gradual decrease in the strss intensity factor as the crack emanated.
