In early-age concrete, volumetric deformations due to thermal expansion and moisture transfer are restrained by various boundary conditions, and then restraint stresses occur in proportion to developed stiffness. With increase of the age, these stresses are gradually relieved by significant relaxation behavior of early-age concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the stress relaxation in order to analyze the behavior of early-age concrete more accurately. In this paper, we propose a unified algorithm which combines a relaxation model with hydration model, heat conduction model, micropore structure formation model, moisture diffusion model and mechanical properties development model and develop a finite element program based on the algorithm. The program is applied to evaluate stress development if a temperature-stress test machine (TSTM) specimen and a massive concrete structure, and then validity of the program is discussed and evaluated.

A constiutive model was proposed in order to model dilatancy under $K_0$ conditions. The model includes an anisotropic hardening rule with bounding surface and hypothetical peak stress ratio and dilatancy function which are dependent on a state parameter. The triaxial stress-strain relationship under $K_0$ conditions was calculated reasonably by the proposed model. In particular the model could consistently predict dilatancy in volume change, softening with peak strength and small strain behavior.

This paper concerns the development and implementation of an orthotropic, stress resultant elasto-plastic finite element model for the collapse load analysis of reinforced concrete plates. The model implements yield line plasticity theory for reinforced concrete. The behaviour of the yield functions are studied, and modifications introduced to ensure a robust finite element model of cases involving bending and twisting stress resultants ($M_x$, $M_y$, $M_{xy}$). Onset of plasticity is always governed by the general yield-line-model (YLM), but in some cases a switch to the stress resultant form of the von Mises function is used to ensure the proper evolution of plastic strains. Case studies are presented, involving isotropic and orthotropic plates, to assess the behaviour of the yield line approach. The YLM function is shown to perform extremely well, in predicting both the collapse loads and failure mechanisms.

The purpose of this study was to examine, by the method of finite element analysis, how implant geometry with or without connection between natural tooth and osseointegrated abutments affected the stress distribution in surrounding bone and osseointegrated prosthesis. The mandibular first and second molars were removed and the two osseointegrated implants were placed in the first and second molar sites. Stress analysis induced by prostheses with connection(Model A)or without connection(Model B) between natural tooth(second bicuspid) and two osseointegrated abutments(first molar and second molar) was performed under vertical point load(Load P1) or distributed point load(Load P2). The results were as follows; 1. Under vertical point load, mesial tilting was shown in both Model A and Model B and inferior displacement of Model A was greater than that of Model B in the second bicuspid. 2. Under vortical point load, the first and second molars showed mesial tilting in both Model A and Model B, and inferior displacement of them was similar in Model A and Model B and was less than that of the second bicuspid. 3. Under distributed point load, mesial displacement was shown in Model A and Model B and inferior displacement of Model A was less than that of Model B in the second bicuspid. 4. Under distributed point load, mesial tilting was shown and inferior displacement of Model A was similar to that of Model B in the first and second molars. 5. In Model A under vertical point load, high stress was concentrated in the corneal portion of first molar and distributed throughout the second molar and the second bicuspid, and the stress distribution of the second molar was greater than that of the second bicuspid. 6. In Model B under vertical point load, high stress was concentrated in the coronal and mesio-cervical portion of the first molar. 7. In Model A under distributed point load, high stress was concentrated in the mesio-cervical portion of the first molar and evenly distributed throughout the second molar and the second bicuspid. 8. In Model B under distributed point load, high stress was concentrated in the disto-cervical portion of the second bicuspid and evenly distributed throughout the first and second molars.

A modified low-Reynolds-number Reynolds stress model is developed for the calculation of drag-reducing turbulent flows induced by polymer injection. The results without polymer injection are compared with the results of direct numerical simulation to ensure the validity of the basic model. In case of drag reduction, profiles of mean velocity and Reynolds stress components, in two-dimensional channel flow, obtained with a proper value of viscosity ratio are presented and discussed. Computed mean velocity profile is in very good agreement with experimental data. And, the qualitative behavior of Reynolds stress components with the viscosity ratio is also reasonable.

Steel plates are widely used in many manufacturing areas such as ship and bridge construction industries and are fabricated by different forming processes. Steel plates can have various shape defects, such as curl or camber. Roller leveling reduces the magnitude of the residual stress by using small amounts of reverse bending via an appropriate arrangement of the rolls and the associated plastic deformation in the steel plate. In this study a model for the residual stress after roller leveling is developed. In order to simplify the formulation, a plane-strain condition is assumed and the stress in the thickness direction is assumed to be negligible. The camber deformation in a real sized plate are measured and compared with the prediction values from the model to validate the accuracy of the model.

We consider the stress-strength model in which a unit of strength $T_2$ is subjected to environmental stress $T_1$. An important measure considered in stress-strength model is the reliability parameter R=P($T_2$ > $T_1$). The greater the value of R is, the more reliable is the unit to perform its specified task. In this article, we consider the situations in which $T_1$ and $T_2$ are both independent and dependent, and have certain bivariate distributions as their joint distributions. To study the effect of dependency on R, we investigate several bivariate distributions of $T_1$ and $T_2$ and compare the values of R for these distributions. Numerical comparisons are presented depending on the parameter values as well.

In this study, the safest model can be selected by the simulation result of structural safety analysis according to the shape of impact bar affected at side door of automobile. The open sectional model of semicircle type has the lowest deformation and stress among 4 kinds of models. As the weight of this model has 30% in comparison with other models, it becomes most economical and stable. As the open sectional model of cap type the highest deformation and stress among 4 kinds of models, it becomes weakest. The closed models with circular and rectangular types has the stress far lower than cap type. The maximum deformation is shown at the center part of impact bar but the maximum stress occurs at the joint part between impact bar and frame.

In this paper, we adopted a two-dimensional analytical electro-elastic model to predict the stress distributions of the piezoelectric actuator in 3D case. The actuator was embedded in an elastic host structure under electrical loadings. The problem is reduced to the solution of singular integral equations of the first kind. The interfacial stresses and the axial normal stress in both plane stress state and plane strain state were obtained to study the actuation effects being transferred from the actuator to the host. The stress distributions of the PZT actuator in different length and different thickness were analyzed to guarantee the generality. The validity of the present model has been demonstrated by application of specific examples and comparisons with the corresponding results obtained from the Finite Element Method.

For three-dimensional finite element welding residual stress simulation, several methods are available. Two widely used methods are the moving heat source model using heat flux and the temperature boundary condition model using the temperature profile of the welded beads. However, each model has pros and cons in terms of calculation times and difficulties in determining welding parameters. In this paper, a new method using the moving temperature profile model is proposed to perform efficiently 3-D FE welding residual stress analysis for large structures. Comparison with existing experimental residual stress measurement data of two-pass welding pipe and SNL(Sandia National Laboratories) mock-up canister shows the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
