Magnetoelectric (ME) composite is composed of a piezoelectric material and a magnetostrictive material. Among various ME structures, 2-2 type layered ME composites are anticipated to be used as high-sensitivity magnetic field sensors and energy harvesting devices especially operating at its resonance modes. Rosen type piezoelectric transducer using piezoelectric material is known to amplify a small electrical input voltage to a large electrical output voltage. The output voltage of these Rosen type piezoelectric transducers can be further enhanced by modifying them into ME composite structures. Herein, we fabricated Rosen type ME composites by sandwiching Rosen type PMN-PZT single crystal between two Ni layers and studied their ME coupling. However, the voltage step-up ratio at the resonance frequency was found to be smaller than the value calculated with α_ME value. The ATILA FEA (Finite Elements Analysis) simulation results showed that the position of the nodal point was changed with the presence of a magnetostrictive layer. Thus, while designing a Rosen type ME composite with high performance in a resonant driving situation, it is necessary to optimize the position of the nodal point by optimizing the thickness or length of the magnetostrictive layer.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) has a great potential to meet the global challenge of fast-track and durable construction. CFS members undergo large buckling instabilities due to their small wall thickness. CFS beams with corrugated webs have shown great resistance towards web buckling under flexure, when compared to the conventional I-sections. However, the magnitude of global imperfections significantly affects the performance of CFS members. This paper presents the first attempt made to experimentally study the effect of global imperfections on the structural efficiency of various strengthening schemes implemented in CFS beams with corrugated webs. Different strengthening schemes were adopted for two types of beams, one with large global imperfections and the other with small imperfections. Strength and stiffness characteristics of the beams were used to evaluate the structural efficiency of the various strengthening schemes adopted. Six tests were performed with simply supported end conditions, under four-point loading conditions. The load vs. mid-span displacement response, failure loads and modes of failure of the test specimens were investigated. The test results would compensate the lack of experimental data in this area of research and would help in developing numerical models for extensive studies for the development of necessary guidelines on the same. Strengthening schemes assisted in enhancing the member performance significantly, both in terms of strength and stiffness. Hence, providing an economic and time saving solution to such practical structural engineering problems.

In this work, we have studied the effects of different soil thicknesses, haunch heights, reinforcement forms and construction technologies on the seismic performance of a composite precast fabricated utility tunnel by pseudo-static tests. Five concrete specimens were designed and fabricated for low-cycle reciprocating load tests. The hysteretic behavior of composite precast fabricated utility tunnel under simulated seismic waves and the strain law of steel bars were analyzed. Test results showed that composite precast fabricated utility tunnel met the requirements of current codes and had good anti-seismic performance. The use of a closed integral arrangement of steel bars inside utility tunnel structure as well as diagonal reinforcement bars at its haunches improved the integrity of the whole structure and increased the bearing capacity of the structure by about 1.5%. Increasing the thickness of covering soil within a certain range was beneficial to the earthquake resistance of the structure, and the energy consumption was increased by 10%. Increasing haunch height within a certain range increased the bearing capacity of the structure by up to about 19% and energy consumption by up to 30%. The specimen with the lowest haunch height showed strong structural deformation with ductility coefficient of 4.93. It was found that the interfaces of haunches, post-casting self-compacting concrete, and prefabricated parts were the weak points of utility tunnel structures. Combining the failure phenomena of test structures with their related codes, we proposed improvement measures for construction technology, which could provide a reference for the construction and design of practical projects.

The objective of this research is to study experimentally the behavior of stiffened steel tubes (CFSTs). Considered parameters are stiffening methods by through-bolts or shear connectors with different configurations. In addition, the effect of global (ratio between length to diameter) and local (proportion between diameter to thickness) slenderness ratios are investigated. Load application either applied on steel only or both steel and concrete is studied as well. Case of loading on steel only happens when concrete inside the column shrinks. The purpose of the research is to improve the behavior of CFSTs by load transfer between them and different stiffening methods. A parametric experimental study that incorporates thirty-three specimens is carried out to highlight the impact of those parameters. Different outputs are recorded for every specimen such as load capacities, vertical deflections, longitudinal strains, and hoop strains. Two modes of failure occur, yielding and global buckling. Shear connectors and through-bolts improve the ultimate load by up to 5% for sections loaded at steel with different studied global slenderness and local slenderness equal 63.5. Meanwhile, shear connectors or through bolts increase the ultimate load by up to 6% for global slenderness up to 15.75 for sections loaded on composite with local slenderness equals 63.50. Recommendations for future design code development are outlined.

The mechanical properties of polymeric composites are degraded under elevated temperatures due to the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior of the resin and resin fiber interfaces. In this study, the effect of temperature on the impact response of the carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) was investigated at low-velocity impact (LVI) using a drop-weight impact tester machine. All the composite plates were fabricated using a vacuum infusion process with a stacking sequence of [45/0_2/-45/90_2]s, and a thickness of 2.9 mm. A group of the specimens was exposed to an environment with a temperature cycling at the range of -30 ℃ to 65 ℃. In addition, three other groups of the specimens were aged at ambient (28 ℃), -30 ℃, and 65 ℃ for ten days. Then all the conditioned specimens were subjected to LVI at three energy levels of 10, 15, and 20 J. To assess the behavior of the damaged composite plates, the force-time, force-displacement, and energy-time diagrams were analyzed at all temperatures. Finally, radiography, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to evaluate the effect of the temperature and damages at various impact levels. Based on the results, different energy levels have a similar effect on the LVI behavior of the samples at various temperatures. Delamination, matrix cracking, and fiber failure were the main damage modes. Compared to the samples tested at room temperature, the reduction of temperature to -30 ℃ enhanced the maximum impact force and flexural stiffness while decreasing the absorbed energy and the failure surface area. The temperature increasing to 65 ℃ increased the maximum impact force and flexural stiffness while decreasing the absorbed energy and the failure surface area. Applying 200 thermal cycles at the range of -30 ℃ to 65 ℃ led to the formation of fine cracks in the matrix while decreasing the absorbed energy. The maximum contact force is recorded under cyclic temperature as 5.95, 6.51 and 7.14 kN, under impact energy of 10, 15 and 20 J, respectively. As well as, the minimum contact force belongs to the room temperature condition and is reported as 3.93, 4.94 and 5.71 kN, under impact energy of 10, 15 and 20 J, respectively.

회전원판의 동적 불안정성은 회전속도를 제한하는 가장 중요한 요인이다. 복합재료를 회전원판에 적용시킬 경우 동적 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있어 경량화와 고속화를 동시에 이룰 수 있다. 티모쉔코 효과라고 불리는 횡전단변형과 회전관성이 판 구조물의 동적거동에 미치는 영향은 많은 연구가 진행되어왔으나 원판의 회전이 이 효과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 극히 제한적이며 복합재료 원판의 경우는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 티모쉔코 효과를 고려한 직교이방성 회전원판의 동적 방정식을 유도하였으며 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 MSC/NASTRAN을 이용하여 진동해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 특정 모드에서는 일반적으로 알려진 바와는 달리 회전수의 증가에 따라 티모쉔코 효과가 감소하다 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 또한 데이터만을 기초로 회전증가에 따른 티모쉔코 효과의 감소는 두께비가 작아질수록 증가하고, 반경비, 탄성계수 대 전단계수 비, 진동 모드 수가 커질수록 증가하는 것으로 결론지을 수 있다.

The practical usage of underground space and demand for vehicular tunnels necessitate the construction of non-circular wide rectangular tunnels. However, constructing large tunnels in soft clayey soil conditions with no ground improvement can lead to excessive ground deformations and collapse. In recent years, in situ ground improvement techniques such as jet grouting and deep cement mixing are often utilized to perform cement-stabilisation around the tunnel boundary to prevent large deformations and failure. This paper discusses the stability characteristics and failure behaviour of a wide rectangular tunnel in cement-treated soft clays. First, the plane strain finite element model is developed and validated with the results of centrifuge model tests available in the past literature. The critical tunnel support pressures computed from the numerical study are found to be in good agreement with those of centrifuge model tests. The influence of varying strength and thickness of improved soil surround, and cover depth are studied on the stability and failure modes of a rectangular tunnel. It is observed that the failure behaviour of the tunnel in improved soil surround depends on the ratio of the strength of improved soil surround to the strength of surrounding soil, i.e., q_ui/q_us, rather than just q_ui. For low q_ui/q_us ratios,the stability increases with the cover; however, for the high strength improved soil surrounds with q_ui >> q_us, the stability decreases with the cover. The failure chart, modified stability equation, and stability chart are also proposed as preliminary design guidelines for constructing rectangular tunnels in the improved soil surrounded by soft clays.

본 연구에서는 측정장치의 compliance유무가 복합레진의 중합수축응력 측정에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 변위센서, cantilever load cell과 부궤환 (negative feedback) 시스템을 적용하여 compliance를 허용하는 것과 허용하지 않는 두 가지 모드로 중합수축응력의 측정이 가능한 stress-strain analyzer를 제작하였다. 한 종의 flowable (Filtek Flow: FF) 복합레진과 두 종의 universal hybrid (Z100: Z1 and Z250: Z2) 복합레진이 사용되었다. Load cell의 끝과 base plate에 고정된 직경 3.0 mm의 금속 막대에 silane을 처리하였다. 1.0 mm의 거리로 고정한 두 개의 금속 막대 사이 에 복합레진을 적용한 후 광중합을 하였다. 복합레진의 수직 중합수축률과 중합수축응력을 10 분 동안 기록하였고 인장탄성계수도 구하였다. 통계처리는 일원분산분석과 paired t-test를 시행하였고 95% 유의수준에서 Tukey's test로 사후 검정하였다. 측정된 중합수축 응력은 재료와 compliance의 유무에 따라 큰 차이를 보였다. Compliance를 허용한 모드에서 중합수축응력은 FF: 3.11 (0.13)이 가장 컸으며 Z1: 2.91 (0.10), Z2: 1.94 (0.09) Mpa의 순서였다. 측정장치의 compliance를 허용하지 않은 경우에는 Z1 17.08 (0.89)이 가장 컸고 FF: 10.11 (0.29), Z2: 9.46 (1.63) MPa의 순이었다. 또한 Z1, Z2, FF의 인장탄성계수는 각각 2.31 (0.18), 2.05 (0.20), 1.41 (0.11) GPa 이었다. 중합수축응력은 compliance mode에서는 복합레진의 수직 중합수축률이 주요 영향 요인이었으며, compliance를 배제한 모드에서는 탄성계수의 효과가 지배적이었다.

Buried 채널 도파로의 필드 분포에 대한 analytic 표현식을 effective index method(EIM)와, variational method(VM) 사용하여 구한 뒤 angular spectrum방법을 적용하여 도파로 폭과 두께에 따른 최소의 반사율을 주는 코팅층의 최적 굴절율과 정규화된 최적 코팅 두께를 구하였고 이를 비교 검토하였다. 도파로 폭이 큰 영역에서는 두 방법으로 구한 코팅층의 파라메타가 비슷한 결과를 보였으나 도파로 폭이 작아질수록 VM을 사용하여 구한 코팅층의 최적 굴절율과 정규화된 최적 두께는 클래딩층만으로 구성된 물질과 공기사이에 존재하는 코팅층의 최적 굴절율과 정규화된 최적 두께로 접근한 반면에 EIM을 사용하여 구한 경우는 차이가 많이 발생하였다. Buried채널 도파로의 도파로 폭과 두께가 같을 때, 활성층과 클래딩층의 굴절율 차이의 비에 관계없이 VM을 사용하여 구한 quasi-TE모드와 quasi-TM모드의 공차지도는 거의 동일한 영역에 존재하였다. 반면에 free space radiation mode(FSRM) 방법의 경우는 활성층과 클래딩층의 굴절율 차이의 비가 10%일 때, quasi-TE 모드와 quasi-TM모드의 공차지도는 서로 다른 영역에 존재하였다. 따라서 VM과 angular spectrum방법을 사용하여 구한 공차지도가 FSRM 방법을 사용하여 구한 공차지도보다 정확함을 알 수 있었다.
