This paper is concerned with the dynamics of hyperelastic solids and structures. We seek for a smart control actuation that produces a desired (prescribed) displacement field in the presence of transient imposed forces. In the literature, this problem is denoted as displacement tracking, or also as shape morphing problem. One talks about shape control, when the displacements to be tracked do vanish. In the present paper, it is assumed that the control actuation is provided by imposed eigenstrains, e.g., by the electric field in piezoelectric actuators, or by thermal actuators, or via analogous physical effects, such as magneto-striction or pre-stress. Structures with a controlled eigenstrain-type actuation belong to the class of smart structures. The action of the eigenstrains can be conveniently characterized by actuation stresses. Our theoretical derivations are performed in the framework of the theory of small incremental dynamic deformations superimposed upon a statically pre-deformed configuration of a hyperelastic solid or structure. We particularly ask for a distribution of incremental actuation stresses, such that the incremental displacements follow exactly a prescribed trajectory field, despite the imposed incremental forces are present. An exact solution of this problem is presented under the assumption that the actuation stresses can be tailored freely and applied everywhere within the body. Extending a Neumann-type solution strategy, it is shown that the actuation stresses due to the distributed control eigenstrains must satisfy certain quasi-static equilibrium conditions, where auxiliary body-forces and auxiliary surface tractions are to be taken into account. The latter auxiliary loading can be directly computed from the imposed forces and from the desired displacement field to be tracked. Hence, despite the problem is a dynamic one, a straightforward computation of proper actuator distributions can be obtained in the framework of quasi-static equilibrium conditions. Necessary conditions for the functioning of this concept are presented. Particularly, it must be required that the intermediate configuration is infinitesimally superstable. Previous results of our group for the case of shape control and displacement tracking in linear elastic structures are included as special cases. The high potential of the solution is demonstrated via Finite Element computations for an irregularly shaped four-corner plate in a state of plain strain.

해중철도 부근에서 테러나 사고에 의해 수중폭발이 발생하였을 경우, 함체에 치명적인 손상을 가할 수 있으므로, 충분한 강도를 확보해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 설계 목적으로 해중철도 인근에서 수중폭발이 발생한 경우, 경험에 기초한 공식을 이용하여 충격압을 추정하고, 충격압에 의한 해중철도의 응답을 해석할 수 있는 간이 해석 방법을 제안하였다. 해중철도 함체를 탄성 지지된 보로 이상화하고, 초기 최대 충격압이 작용하는 보에 대해 정적 유한요소해석을 실시한 후, 동하중 계수와 조합함으로 최대 변위 및 굽힘 모멘트를 계산한다. 간이해석 결과는 상용 유한요소해석 소프트웨어를 이용한, 시간에 따른 과도응답해석 결과와 비교하여 양호한 일치를 보임을 확인하였다.

Coupled thermo-mechanical analysis of reinforced concrete slab at elevated temperatures from a fire accounting for nonlinear thermal parameters is carried out. The main focus of the paper is put on a one-way continuous reinforced concrete slab exposed to fire from the single (bottom) side as the most typical working condition under fire loading. Although contemporary techniques alongside the fire protection measures are in constant development, in most cases it is not possible to avoid the material deterioration particularly nearby the exposed surface from a fire. Thereby the structural fire resistance of reinforced concrete slabs is mostly influenced by a relative distance between reinforcement and the exposed surface. A parametric study with variable concrete cover ranging from 15 mm to 35 mm is performed. As the first part of a one-way coupled thermo-mechanical analysis, transient nonlinear heat transfer analysis is performed by applying the net heat flux on the exposed surface. The solution of proposed heat analysis is obtained at certain time steps of interest by α-method using the explicit Euler time-integration scheme. Spatial discretization is done by the finite element method using a 1D 2-noded truss element with the temperature nodal values as unknowns. The obtained results in terms of temperature field inside the element are compared with available numerical and experimental results. A high level of agreement can be observed, implying the proposed model capable of describing the temperature field during a fire. Accompanying thermal analysis, mechanical analysis is performed in two ways. Firstly, using the guidelines given in Eurocode 2 - Part 1-2 resulting in the fire resistance rating for the aforementioned concrete cover values. The second way is a fully numerical coupled analysis carried out in general-purpose finite element software DIANA FEA. Both approaches indicate structural fire behavior similar to those observed in large-scale fire tests.

우주 발사체의 비행 중에 파이로 충격은 일반적으로 여러 단 분리, 페어링 분리, 그리고 위성 분리 시 화약을 이용한 분리 장치의 작동에 의해 발생하게 된다. 이러한 분리 이벤트 시 고주파 영역까지 큰 가속도가 유발되는 천이 진동 현상이 유발되어 위성 또는 발사체의 전자 장비가 비정상적인 기능을 보일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 파이로 충격 절연을 위해 형상기억합금 소재를 적용하여 두 종류의 메쉬 와셔 절연계를 소개하였다. 한 종류는 형상기억합금의 의탄성 효과를 주로 이용하였고 다른 한 종류는 형상기억효과를 주로 이용하였다. 형상기억합금 절연계의 기본적인 하중-변위 선도를 파악하기 위해 압축 시험을 수행하였고 그 결과로 절연 가능성을 확인하였다. 파이로 충격 절연 시험을 수행하여 형상기억합금 절연계의 절연 성능이 뛰어남을 확인하였으며 추가로 랜덤 진동 시험을 통해 각 절연계의 동특성을 살펴보았다.

A series of simulated reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) tests on irradiated fully recrystallized boiling water reactor Zircaloy-2 cladding has been performed by means of the expansion-due-to-compression (EDC) test method. The EDC method reproduces fuel pellet-clad mechanical interaction (PCMI) conditions for the cladding during RIA transients with respect to temperature and loading rates by out-of-pile mechanical testing. The tested materials had a large variation in burnup and hydrogen content (up to 907 wppm). The results of the EDC tests showed variation in the PCMI resistance of claddings with similar burnup and hydrogen content, making it difficult to clearly identify ductile-to-brittle transition temperatures. The EDC-tested samples of the present and previous work were investigated by light optical and scanning electron microscopy to study the influence of factors such as azimuthal variation of the Zr-hydrides and the presence of hydride rims and radially oriented hydrides. Two main characteristics were identified in samples with low ductility with respect to hydrogen content and test temperature: hydride rims and radial hydrides at the cladding outer surface. Crack propagation and failure modes were also studied, showing two general modes of crack propagation depending on distribution and amount of radially oriented hydrides. It was concluded that the PCMI resistance of irradiated cladding under normal conditions with homogenously distributed circumferential hydrides is high, with good margin to the RIA failure limits. To further improve safety, focus should be on conditions causing nonfavorable hydride distribution, such as hydride reorientation and formation of hydride blisters at the cladding outer surface.

가스 생산용 해양플랜트 설비에서 발생할 수 있는 폭발사고의 경우, 구조 시스템의 기하학적 특성이나, 바람, 가스 누출율 등과 같은 환경적 조건에 의해 피해 규모의 범위가 상당하다. 따라서 폭발파에 의한 구조 부재의 응답을 분석하기 위해서는 이러한 조건들을 고려한 가스폭발 수치해석 과정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FPSO 탑사이드의 형상 및 장비 배치와 같은 세부적인 부분까지 고려하여 폭발해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 획득한 하중 이력들의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 다양한 형태로 나타나는 폭발하중 이력들 중 구조물 손상에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있는 최대 압력과 지속시간들을 고려하여 유한요소해석 시 하중조건으로 적용한 후, 부재의 응답특성에 관한 분석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석 모델은 실제 구조물에 적용이 가능하고, 복잡한 형상을 이상화한 단 자유도 및 다 자유도 모델을 사용하였다. 정 압력 및 부 압력단계의 최대 압력이 증가함에 따라 구조 부재의 최대 응답이 증가하였고, 부 압단계에서 하중 지속시간이 증가함에 따라 구조물의 최대 변위가 증가는 경향을 보였다.

One hundred sixty one patients with the carcinoma of uterine cervix received curative radiotherapy at the Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital between December, 1979 and December, 1982. According to FIGO classification; stage $I_a 1(0.6\%)\;1_b\;8(5.0\%),\;II_a\;31(19.3\%),\;II_b\;66(41.0\%),\;III_a\;3(1.8\;%),\;III_b\;46(28.6\%)\;and\;IV_a\;6(3.7\;%)$. The proportion of early stage cancer is too small because most of them treated by surgery. External beam whole pelvic irradiation was done first with 10MV x-ray or Co-60 gamma ray upto 4,000 or 5,000 rad for early and advanced cases, followed by one or two courses of intracavitary radiation using Fletcher-Suit Applicator loading c Cs-137. Supplementary external radiation to pelvic side wall to bring dose to 6,000 or 6,500 rads, if there is parametrial involvement or positive pelvic lymph node. Of the 161 Patients, 49 Patients were lost to follow-up but only 22 patients were lost in disease free state. And so, 86.3 percent of the patients were followed to time of recurrence or to date. The results are as follows ; 1. Locoregional control rates according to stage is: stage I $100\%,\;II_a\;90.3\;%,\;II_b\;75.8\%,\;III_a\;66.7\%,\;III_b\;58.7\%\;and\;IV_a\;16.7\%$, respectively. 2. Persistent or recurrent disease were localized in pelvic cavity in 32 of 50 patients and 6 had distant metastasis only. 3. Rectal bleeding was the most common complication and appeared mostly between 6 and 24 months after radiotherapy. Most of them had transient minor bleeding and only 2 patients needed transfusion and 1 patient needed colostomy due to rectovaginal fistula. 4. The 3 year disease free survival rate is: stage I $100\%,\;II_a\;78.0\%,\;II_b\;60.6\%,\;III_a\;66.7\;III_b\;46.3\%\;and\;IN_a\;16.7\%$, respectively.

Nanocrystalline $SnO_2$ colloids are synthesized by hydrolysis of $SnCl_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ in aqueous ammonia solution. The synthesized $SnO_2$ nanoparticles with ca. 15 nm in diameter are coated on a fluorinedoped thin oxide (FTO) conductive substrate and heated at $550^{\circ}C$. The annealed $SnO_2$ film is treated with aqueous $TiCl_4$ solution, which is sensitzied with MK-2 dye (2-cyano-3-[5'''-(9-ethyl- 9H-carbazol-3-yl)-3',3'',3''',4-tetra-n-hexyl-[2,2',5',2'',5'',2''']-quater thiophen-5-yl]). Compared to bare $SnO_2$ film, the conversion efficiency is significantly improved from 0.22% to 3.13% after surface treatment of $SnO_2$ with $TiCl_4$, which is mainly due to the large increases in both photocurrent density from 1.33 to $9.46mA/cm^2$ and voltage from 315 to 634 mV. It is noted that little change in the amount of the adsorbed dye is detected from 1.21 for the bare $SnO_2$ to $1.28{\mu}mol/cm^2$ for the $TiCl_{4-}$ treated $SnO_2$. This indicates that the photocurrent density increased by more than 6 times is not closely related to the dye loading concentration. From the photocurrent and voltage transient spectroscopic studies, electron life time increases by about 13 order of magnitude, whereas electron diffusion coefficient decreases by about 3.6 times after $TiCl_4$ treatment. Slow electron diffusion rate offers sufficient time for regeneration kinetics. As a result, charge collection efficiency of about 40% before $TiCl_4$ treatment is improved to 95% after $TiCl_4$ treatment. The large increase in voltage is due to the significant increase in electron life time, associated with upward shift of fermi energy.

본 연구에서는 화재시 매입형 합성기둥의 높은 축력비에 따른 내화성능을 알아보기 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램(ANSYS)을 통한 해석을 실시하였다. 온도에 따른 응력-변형률 곡선을 적용하여 ASTM E 119 가열곡선과 축력비 0.7, 0.6, 0.5에 따른 과도상태 열전달해석 및 정적구조해석을 실시하였으며, 해석조건과 동일한 조건에서의 재하가열실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 기준식(Eurocode 4)에 따라 가열시간에 따른 합성기둥의 공칭압축강도를 산정하고, 축력비로 나타내어 해석값 및 실험값과 비교하였다. 해석 및 실험과 기준(Eurocode 4)을 통해 가열시간에 따른 단면별 온도분포를 확인하고, 이에 따른 내화성능을 측정해 비교분석하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 축력비 0.5에서는 내화시간 180분으로 실험값과 유사한 값이 도출된 반면, 축력비 0.6, 0.7에서 내화시간 150분과 60분이 도출되어 실험결과에 비해 다소 높은 결과가 도출된 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 기준식(Eurocode 4)에 따라 산정한 축력비에 따른 내화시간이 실제 실험값에 비해 다소 낮게 평가하고 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 축력비 0.7에서는 기준(Eurocode 4)이 실험값에 비해 다소 높게 평가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 고축력에서의 매입형 합성기둥의 내화특성(시간-축력비 관계)을 확인하고, 도출된 매입형 합성기둥의 실험 및 해석데이터를 Eurocode기준의 검증의 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

In structural engineering practice, understanding the performance of composite columns under extreme loading conditions such as high-rise bulding, long span and heavy loads is essential to accuratly predicting of material responses under severe loads such as fires or earthquakes. Hitherto, the combined effect of partial axial loads and subsequent elevated temperatures on the performance of hollow steel column filled fly ash concrete have not been widely investigated. Comprehensive test was carried out to investigate the effect of elevated temperatures on partial axially loaded square hollow steel column filled fly ash concrete as reported in this paper. Four batches of hollow steel column filled fly ash concrete ( 30 percent replacement of fly ash), (HySC) and normal concrete (CFHS) were subjected to four different load levels, n_f of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% based on ultimate column strength. Subsequently, all batches of the partially damage composite columns were exposed to transient elevated temperature up to 250℃, 450℃ and 650℃ for one hour. The overall stress - strain relationship for both types of composited columns with different concrete fillers were presented for each different partial load levels and elevated temperature exposure. Results show that CFHS column has better performance than HySC at ambient temperature with 1.03 relative difference. However, the residual ultimate compressive strength of HySC subjected to partial axial load and elevated temperature exposure present an improvement compared to CFHS column with percentage difference in range 1.9% to 18.3%. Most of HySC and CFHS column specimens failed due to local buckling at the top and middle section of the column caused by concrete crushing. The columns failed due to global buckling after prolong compression load. After the compression load was lengthened, the columns were found to fail due to global buckling except for HySC02.
