This article analyzed the modulus degradation of concrete subjected to multi-level compressive cyclic loading. The evolution of secant elastic modulus is investigated based on measurements from top loading platen and LVDT in the middle part of concrete. The difference value of the two secant elastic moduli is reduced when close to failure and could be used as a fatigue failure precursor. The fatigue hardening is observed for concrete during cyclic loading. When the maximum stress is smaller the fatigue hardening is more obvious. The slight increase of maximum stress will lead to the "periodic hardening". The tangent elastic modulus shows a specific "bowknot" shape during cyclic loading, which can characterize the hysteresis of stress-strain and is influenced by the cyclic loading stresses. The deterioration of secant elastic modulus acts a similar role with respect to the P-wave speed during cyclic loading, can both characterize the degradation of the concrete properties.

The structural design requirements of an offshore platform subjected to wave induced forces and moments in the jacket can play a major role in the design of the offshore structures. For an economic and reliable design; good estimation of wave loadings are essential. A nonlinear response analysis of a fixed offshore platform under structural and wave loading is presented, the structure is discretized using the finite element method, wave plus current kinematics (velocity and acceleration fields) are generated using 5th order Stokes wave theory, the wave force acting on the member is calculated using Morison's equation. Hydrodynamic loading on horizontal and vertical tubular members and the dynamic response of fixed offshore structure together with the distribution of displacement, axial force and bending moment along the leg are investigated for regular and extreme conditions, where the structure should keep production capability in conditions of the 1-yr return period wave and must be able to survive the 100-yr return period storm conditions. The result of the study shows that the nonlinear response investigation is quite crucial for safe design and operation of offshore platform.

Mechanical properties of the materials used for transportations and industrial machinery under high stain rate loading conditions have been required to provide appropriate safety assessment to these mechanical structures. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB) technique with a special experimental apparatus can be used to obtain the material properties under high strain rate loading condition. There have been many studies on the material behavior under high strain rate compressive loading compared to those under tensile loading. In this paper, mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy, Al6061-T6, under high strain rate tensile loading were determined using SHPB technique.

Nondestructive evaluation for material health monitoring is important in aerospace industries. Composite laminates are exposed to heat cyclic loading and humid environment depending on flight conditions. Cyclic heat loading and moisture absorption may lead to material degradation such as matrix breaking, debonding, and delamination. In this paper, the moisture absorption ratio was investigated by measuring the Lamb wave velocity. The composite laminates were manufactured and subjected to different thermal aging cycles and moisture absorption. For various conditions of these cycles, not only changes in weight and also ultrasonic wave velocity were measured, and the Lamb wave velocity at various levels of moisture on a carbon-epoxy plate was investigated. Results from the experiment show a linear correlation between moisture absorption ratio and Lamb wave velocity at different thermal fatigue stages. The presented method can be applied as an alternative solution in the online monitoring of composite laminate moisture levels in commercial flights.

This paper presents an experimental study on a 1/2 scale steel frame with archaized-style under the pseudo-dynamic loading. Four seismic waves, including El Centro wave, Taft wave, Lanzhou wave and Wenchuan wave, were input during the test. The hysteresis characteristic, energy dissipation acceleration response, displacement response, strength, stiffness and strain were analyzed. Based on the experiment, the elastoplastic dynamic time-history analysis was carried out with the software ABAQUS. The stress distribution and failure mode were obtained. The results indicate that the steel frame with archaized-style was in elastic stage when the peak acceleration of input wave was no more than 400 gal. Under Wenchuan wave with peak acceleration of 620 gal, the steel frame enters into the elastoplastic stage, the maximum inter-story drift was 1/203 and the bearing capacity still tended to increase. During the loading process, Dou-Gong yielded first and played the role of the first seismic fortification line, and then beam ends and column bottom ends yielded in turn. The steel frame with archaized-style has good seismic performance and meets the seismic design requirement of Chinese code.

본 연구는 선박의 크기, 계류조건, 파랑의 주기, 파향 등에 의한 계류선박의 동요량을 해석하고 선박의 하역한계파고 산정 및 항만가동율을 평가하는 방법을 제시한 것이다. 본 방법은 포항신항 제8부두의 파랑관측자료를 이용하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 하역중단 시 파랑관측 자료는 파고 0.10~0.75 m, 주기 7~13 s 이었으며, 이때 계류된 선박은 800~35,000톤 이었다. 그리고 본 방법으로부터 산정된 제 8부두의 하역한계파고는 선박 5,000, 10,000, 30,000톤에 대하여 파고 0.19~0.50 m, 주기 8~12 s로 산정되었다. 본 방법의 결과는 연구대상 선박의 크기가 현지 선박의 크기와 정확히 일치하지는 않아서 파고는 관측치와 다소 차이를 보이지만 주기변화에 따라 하역한계파고를 잘 재현하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 파향이 75도 인 경우의 본 방법에 의한 하역한계파고는 현행 항만설계 기준에 제시된 한계파고 보다 장단주기 파를 고려하면 16~62% 감소하였고, 단주기 파랑만 고려하면 0~46%감소하였다. 특히 현행 항만설계기준의 하역한계하고는 10,000톤 이하의 선박에 대해서는 과대 평가되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 선박의 동요량을 고려하여 산정된 포항신항 제 8부두의 가동율은 설계기준 파고에 의한 가동율 에 비하여 6.5% 감소하였다.

다층재료의 접합특성 평가는 오랫동안 많은 논의가 있어 왔는데, 본 연구에서는 후방복사 초음파 기술을 사용하여 여러 충이 있는 재료의 특성을 평가하기 위한 자동화된 시스템을 개발하고 스틸 판재와 고무가 접합된 스틸 판재의 후방복사 프로파일을 획득하였다. 후방복사의 rf 파형과 주파수 스펙트럼은 리키 램파 모드들의 특성을 나타내고 있다. 집합된 고무 두께의 증가에 따라 입사각이 $13.4^{\circ}$일 때의 후방복사 진폭이 지수적으로 감소함을 보이며 부분적으로 고무가 접합된 시편에서 선택되어진 입사각으로 입사위치를 바꾸어가며 스캐닝한 결과 정확하게 고무가 접합되어 있지 않은 지역을 결정할 수 있었다. 리키 램파에 의한 후방복사는 판재의 물성은 물론이고 다층 재료의 접합특성 평가에 활용할 수 있다.

In this study, the operability of an FLBT (floating LNG bunkering terminal) was evaluated experimentally. Model tests were conducted in the KRISO (Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering) ocean engineering basin. An FLBT, an LNG carrier, and two LNG bunkering shuttles were moored side by side with mooring ropes and fenders. Two white-noise wave cases, one irregular wave case, and various regular wave cases were generated. The relative local motions between each LNG loading arm and its corresponding manifold in the initial design configuration were calculated from measured 6-DOF motions at the center of gravity of each of the four vessels. Furthermore, the locations of the LNG loading arms and manifolds were varied to minimize the relative local motions.

In this study, heading characteristics and heading control performances were evaluated to achieve the wave shield effect. The wave shield effect originating from heading control reduces the relative motions of moored vessels in a floating liquefied natural gas bunkering terminal (FLBT). Therefore, loading and off-loading performances are improved through reduced relative motion. For the objective of this study and efficiency of the analysis, a simplified model was used that assuming no relative motion of the moored vessels in the FLBT. The simplified model involved modeling the environmental loads and inertia of several floating bodies, including FLBT, into the environmental loads and inertia of a single vessel. The simplified model was validated through comparisons with model tests. With the simplified model, heading characteristics and heading control simulations were performed using low-frequency planar motion equations. The heading characteristics and heading control performances of FLBT were analyzed through the results of simulations under the expected environmental conditions. The capacity of the tunnel thrust for the heading control performance was confirmed to be adequate for improvement of the loading and off-loading performances using the wave shielding effects under the operation conditions.
