고력볼트의 현장 조립시 볼트 구멍 간의 불일치로 인하여 볼트 구멍을 확장하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이를 위해서 외국 기준에서는 볼트 구멍 크기, 형태, 하중 방향에 따라 미끄럼하중에 대한 규정을 따로 두고 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 과대구멍에 대한 시방규정이나 이에 대한 접합부 특성에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서, 접합부재 표면처리와 볼트구멍 크기의 변화가 접합부 내력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 실험을 통해 정량적으로 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 볼트 구멍 크기 및 형태에 따른 접합부의 미끄럼하중의 변화와 체결 후, 장기축력이완의 경향을 분석하기 위하여 160시간 및 800시간 동안 고력볼트의 축력의 변화를 측정하였다. 본 실험대상 고력볼트로 KS B 2819에 규정된 TS(Torque Shear)형 고력볼트를 사용하였다. 표준 볼트구멍 대비 그 외 볼트구멍의 미끄럼하중의 변화는 10% 미만으로 나타났으며, 장기축력이완은 직경 2.5배의 슬롯구멍에서, 2.66%로 가장 높게 나타났다.

이 연구의 목적은 강관과 강봉을 이용하여 프리스트레스력의 도입이 가능하도록 개발된 프리스트레싱(prestressing reinforcing units using steel bar and pipe, 이하 SP) 보강재의 응력손실을 확인하는데에 있다. 주요변수는 SP 보강재의 종류, 프리스트레스력의 크기 및 도입방법이다. 실험결과 SP 보강재의 응력손실은 프리스트레스력이 직접 도입하는 초기단계에서 가장 크게 있었는데, 그 크기는 압축도입형 보다 인장도입형에서 더 크게 있었다. SP 보강재의 응력손실은 프리스트레스력이 항복강도의 80%로 도입된 P800 강종인 압축도입형 실험체에서 1.6%로 가장 낮았다. 한편 시간경과에 따른 SP 보강재의 릴랙세이션은 압축도입형의 경우 SP 보강재의 종류, 프리스트레스력의 크기에 관계없이 0.4~1.9%로 평가되었는데, 이는 설계기준들에서 제시하고 있는 릴랙세이션 2.5% 이하를 만족하는 수준이었다. 결과적으로 프리스트레스력 도입 즉시 발생하는 응력손실을 감안할 때에 개발된 SP 보강재의 재질과 프리스트레스력 도입방식 및 크기는 각각 P800, 압축도입형 및 항복강도의 80%로 추천된다.

CMAC을 이용하여 구조물의 지진응답을 예측하였다. CMAC은 매우 빠른 학습성능을 가지고 있는 것이 장점이며 구조물의 동적응답을 학습함에 있어서도 수 초 이내에 만족할 만한 정도로 학습을 끝낸다. 따라서 실시간 학습을 필요로 하는 분야에 매우 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 실시간 응답학습은 장기거동 등으로 역학적 특성이 변하거나 손상을 입은 구조물의 적응제어 등이 있다. 수치해석에서는 3층 전단건물의 지진응답을 CMAC을 통하여 학습하였으며 학습은 매우 빠르게 완수 되었다. 결론적으로 CMAC은 구조물의 진동제어 분야에서 매우 효과적으로 사용될 수 있는 인공지능의 하나이다.

A general step-by-step simulation for the time-dependent analysis of segmentally-erected prestressed concrete box-girder bridges is presented. A three dimensional finite-element model for the balanced-cantilever construction of segmental bridges, including effects of the load history, material nonlinearity, creep, shrinkage, and aging of concrete and the relaxation of prestressing steel was developed using ABAQUS software. The models included three-dimensional shell elements to model the box-girder walls and Rebar elements representing the prestressing tendons. The step-by-step procedure allows simulating the construction stages, effects of time-dependent deformations of materials and changes in the structural system of the bridges. The structural responses during construction and throughout the service life were traced. A comparison of the developed computer simulation with available experimental results was conducted and good agreement was found. Deflection of the bridge deck, changes in stresses and strains and the redistribution of internal forces were calculated for different examples of bridges, built by the balanced-cantilever method, over thirty-year duration. Significant time-dependent effects on the bridge deflections and redistribution of internal forces and stresses were observed. The ultimate load carrying capacities of the bridges and the behavior before collapse were also determined. It was observed that the ultimate load carrying capacity of such bridges decreases with time as a result of time-dependent effects.

Structural and physical properties of type wild type and various selected mutants of the vnd/NK-2 homeodomain, the protein product of the homeobox, and the implication in genetic disease are reviewed. The structure, dynamics and thermodynamics have been Investigated by NMR and by calorimetry. The interactions responsible for the nucleotide sequence-specific binding of the homeodomain to its consensus DNA binding site have been identified. There is a strong correlation between significant structural alterations within the homeodomain or its DNA complex and the appearance of genetic disease. Mutations in positions known to be important in genetic disease have been examined carefully For example, mutation of position 52 of vnd/NK-2 results in a significant structural modification and mutation of position 54 alters the DNA binding specificity and amity The $^{15}N$ relaxation behavior and heteronuclear Overhauser effect data was used to characterize and describe the protein backbone dynamics. These studies were carried out on the wild type and the double mutant proteins both in the free and in the DNA bound states. Finally, the thermodynamic properties associated with DNA binding are described for the vnd/NK-2 homeodomain. These thermodynamic measurements reinforce the hypothesis that water structure around a protein and around DNA significantly contribute to the protein-DNA binding behavior. The results, taken together, demonstrate that structure and dynamic studies of proteins combined with thermodynamic measurements provide a significantly more complete picture of the solution behavior than the individual studies.

The tailoring optimization technique recently developed by the author for improving structural response and energy absorption of composites is extended to sandwich shells using a previously developed zig-zag shell model with hierarchic representation of displacements. The in-plane variation of the stiffness properties of plies and the through-the thickness variation of the core properties are determined solving the Euler-Lagrange equations of an extremal problem in which the strain energy due to out-of-plane strains and stresses is minimised, while that due to their in-plane counterparts is maximised. In this way, the energy stored by unwanted out-of-plane modes involving weak properties is transferred to acceptable in-plane modes. As shown by the numerical applications, the critical interlaminar stress concentrations at the interfaces with the core are consistently reduced without any bending stiffness loss and the strength to debonding of faces from the core is improved. The structural model was recently developed by the author to accurately describe strain energy and interlaminar stresses from the constitutive equations. It a priori fulfills the displacement and stress contact conditions at the interfaces, considers a second order expansion of Lame's coefficients and a hierarchic representation that adapts to the variation of solutions. Its functional d.o.f. are the traditional mid-plane displacements and the shear rotations, so refinement implies no increase of the number of functional d.o.f. Sandwich shells are represented as multilayered shells made of layers with different thickness and material properties, the core being treated as a thick intermediate layer.

This study investigates structural, fatigue and modal analyses at bicycle suspension seat post. When weight is applied to the saddle, models 1 and 2 have the weakest strength at the part connected with saddle. And model 2 is greater total deformation and equivalent stress than model 1. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads at models 1 and 2, 'SAE bracket history' with the severest change of load becomes most unstable but 'Sample history' becomes most stable. In case of 'Sample history' with the average stress of 0 to $-10^4MPa$ and the amplitude stress of 0 to $10^4MPa$, the possibility of maximum damage becomes 4%. This stress state can be shown with 5 to 7times more than the damage possibility of 'SAE bracket history' or 'SAE transmission'. Model 1 has better impulse relaxation and passenger sensitivity than model 2. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design of bicycle suspension seat post by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

In this paper, it is aimed to determine the structural behavior of suspension bridges considering construction stages and different soil conditions. Bosporus Suspension Bridge connecting the Europe and Asia in Istanbul is selected as an example. Finite element model of the bridge is constituted using SAP2000 program considering existing drawings. Geometric nonlinearities are taken into consideration in the analysis using P-Delta large displacement criterion. The time dependent material strength of steel and concrete and geometric variations is included in the analysis. Time dependent material properties are considered as compressive strength, aging, shrinkage and creep for concrete, and relaxation for steel. To emphases the soil condition effect on the structural behavior of suspension bridges, each of hard, medium and soft soils are considered in the analysis. The structural behavior of the bridge at different construction stages and different soil conditions has been examined. Two different finite element analyses with and without construction stages are carried out and results are compared with each other. At the end of the analyses, variation of the displacement and internal forces such as bending moment, axial forces and shear forces for bridge deck and towers are given in detail. Also, displacement and stresses for bridge foundation are given with detail. It can be seen from the analyses that there are some differences between both analyses (with and without construction stages) and the results obtained from the construction stages are bigger. It can be stated that the analysis without construction stages cannot give the reliable solutions. In addition, soil condition have effect on the structural behavior of the bridge. So, it is thought that construction stage analysis using time dependent material properties, geometric nonlinearity and soil conditions effects should be considered in order to obtain more realistic structural behavior of suspension bridges.

Archaeal rhodopsins possess retinal molecule as their chromophores, and their light-energy and light-signal conversions are triggered by all-trans to 13-cis isomerization of the retinal chromophore. Relaxation through structural changes of protein then leads to functional processes, proton pump in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and transducer activation in phoborhodopsin (pR). It is known that sensory rhodopsins can pump protons in the absence of their transducers. Thus, there should be common and specific features in their protein structural changes for function. In this paper, our r ecent studies on pR from Natronobacterium pharaonis (ppR) by means of low-temperature Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are compared with those of bR. In particular, protein structural changes upon retinal photoisomerization are studied. Comparative investigation of ppR and bR revealed the similar structures of the polyene chain of the chromophore and water-containing hydrogen-bonding network, whereas the structural changes upon photoisomerization were more extended in ppR than in bR. Extended protein structural changes were clearly shown by the assignment of the C=O stretch of Asnl05. FTIR studies of a ppR mutant with the same retinal binding site as in bR revealed that the Schiff base region is important to determine their colors.

The backbone molecular dynamics of the C-terminal part of the mouse Cdt1 protein (tCdt1, residues 420-557) was studied by high field NMR spectroscopy. The Secondary structure of this protein was suggested by analyzing of chemical shift of backbone atoms with programs TALOS and PECAN, together with NOE connectivities from 3D $^{15}N-HSQC-NOESY$ data. Measurement of dynamic parameters $T_1,\;T_2$ and NOE and limited proteolysis experiment provided information for domain organization of tCdt1(420-557). Analysis of the experimental data showed that the C-terminal part of the tCdt1 has well folded domain for residues 455-553. The residues 420-453 including ${\alpha}-helix$ (432-441) are flexible and probably belong to other functional domain in intact full length Cdt1 protein.
