Calculating size-dependent mechanical properties of the nano-scale materials usually involves cumbersome numerical and theoretical works. In this paper, we aim to present a closed-form relation to calculate the length-dependent Young's modulus of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on nonlocal elasticity theory. In this regard, a single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is considered as a rod structure and the governing nonlocal equations are developed under uniaxial tensile load. The equations are solved using analytical methods and strain distribution, total displacement and the size-dependent equivalent Young's modulus are obtained. Further, the results are compared with the molecular dynamics results from the literature. The outcome indicates that the calculated relations are coincident with the molecular dynamics results.

유성일대 화강암, 팔당일대 호상 편마암 및 사북일대 퇴적암 지역에서 동탄성계수와 탄성파 속도와의 관계를 밝히기 위하여 완전파형음파검층을 통해 이들 암상에서 탄성파 P파와 S파 속도를 측정하였다. 또한 유성일대 화강암과 팔당일대 편마암 지역에 대해서는 일축압축강도와 포아송비를 실내시험에서 측정하였다. 실내실험 자료에서는 팔당 호상편마암 지역의 탄성파 P파 및 S파 속도가 유성의 화강암 지역보다 높게 나타난 반면, 포아송비가 낮은 값을 보이므로 포아송비의 증가함에 따라 탄성파 P파 및 S파 속도가 감소하는 상관관계를 보였다. 완전파형음파검층을 통하여 얻어진 동탄성계수는 동체적탄성계수와 동전단탄성계수에 비하여 높은 값을 보인다.

The main goal of the present study was to assess the effects of eggshell powder (ESP) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the mechanical properties of abaca fiber (AF)-reinforced natural composites. For this purpose, a limited number of indentation tests were first performed on the AF/polypropylene (PP) composites for different HNT and ESP loadings (0 wt.% ~ 6 wt.%), load amplitudes (150, 200, and 250 N), and two types of indenters (Vickers or conical). The Young's modulus, hardness and plasticity index of each specimen were calculated using the indentation test results and Oliver-Pharr method. The accuracy of the experimental results was confirmed by comparing the values of the Young's modulus obtained from the indentation test with the results of the conventional tensile test. Then, a feed-forward shallow artificial neural network (ANN) with high efficiency was trained based on the obtained experimental data. The trained ANN could properly predict the variations of the mentioned mechanical properties of AF/PP composites incorporated with different HNT and ESP loadings. Furthermore, the trained ANN demonstrated that HNTs increase the elastic modulus and hardness of the composite, while the incorporation of ESP reduces these properties. For instance, the Young's modulus of composites incorporated with 3 wt.% of ESP decreased by 30.7% compared with the pure composite, while increasing the weight fraction of ESP up to 6% decreased the Young's modulus by 34.8%. Moreover, the trained ANN indicated that HNTs have a more significant effect on reducing the plasticity index than ESP.

본 연구에서는 원뿔형 압입자를 이용한 압입시험의 기초 유한요소해석으로부터 자기유사성을 나타내는 Kick's law 계수 C의 영향을 조사하고, 선단반경의 변화가 하중-변위 곡선에 미치는 영향을 회귀분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 아울러 항복강도와 변형경화지수 등의 변수들이 재료 영률평가에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기존 영률 평가에 널리 사용되는 탄성이론에 기초한 Pharr 등의 식을 일반적인 탄소성 금속재료에 적용하기 위하여 다양한 재료에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 재료 영률평가 시 압입자 선단반경과 압입깊이의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 Pharr 등의 식에 수정된 보정계수 k를 도입한 영률예측식을 제시하였다. 새로운 영률예측식은 텅스텐 카바이드와 다이아몬드 압입자일 때 모두 2%내의 평균 오차범위에서 각 재료의 영률을 평가할 수 있다.

The structural stability and the elastic modulus of hexagonal ZnO nanowires and nanotubes are investigated using atomistic simulations based on the shell model. The ZnO nanowire with (10-10) facets is energetically more stable than that with (11-20). Our calculations indicate that the structural change of ZnO nanowires with (10-10) facets is sensitive to the diameter. With decreasing the diameter of ZnO nanowires, the unit-cell length is increased while the bond-length is reduced due to the change of surface atoms. Unlike the conventional layered nanotubes, the energetic stability of single crystalline ZnO nanotubes is related to the wall thickness. The potential energy of ZnO nanotubes with fixed outer and inner diameters decreases with increasing wall thickness while the nanotubes with same wall thickness are independent of the outer and inner diameters. The transformation of single crystalline ZnO nanotubes with double layer from wurtzite phase to graphitic suggests the possibility of wall-typed ZnO nanotubes. The size-dependent Young's modulus for ZnO nanowires and nanotubes is also calculated. The diameter and the wall thickness play a significant role in the Young's modulus of single crystalline ZnO nanowires and nanotubes, respectively.

It is very important to evaluate the reliable nonlinear modulus characteristics of soils not only in the analysis of geotechnical structures under working stress conditions but also for the soil dynamic problems. For the evaluation of modulus characteristics of soils, various tests have been mostly employed in laboratory. However, different testing techniques are likely to have different ranges of reliable strain measurements, different applied stress level, and different loading frequencies, and the modulus of soils can be affected by these variables. For reliable evaluation, therefore, those effects on the modulus need to be considered, and measured values should be effectively adjusted to actual conditions where the soil is working. In this paper, to evaluate the modulus characteristics of soils, laboratory testing such as free-free resonant column (FF-RC), resonant column (RC), torsional shear (TS), static TX, and cyclic M/sub R/ tests were performed. The effects of strain amplitude, loading frequency, loading cycles, confining pressure, density, and water content on modulus were investigated. It is shown that the FF-RC test, which is simple and inexpensive testing technique, can provide a reliable estimation of small strain Young's modulus (E/sub max/), and the modulus evaluated by various laboratory tests are comparable to each other fairly well when the effects of these factors are properly taken into account.

The mechanical behavior of small-sized materials has been investigated for many industrial applications, including MEMS and semiconductors. It is challenging to obtain accurate mechanical properties measurements for thin films due to several technical difficulties, including measurement of strain, specimen alignment, and fabrication. In this work, we used the micro-tensile testing unit with the real-time DIC (Digital Image Correlation) strain measurement system. This system has advantages of real time strain monitoring up to 50 nm resolution during the micro-tensile test, and ability to measure the young's modulus and Poisson's ratio at the same time. The mechanical properties of SCS (Single Crystal Silicon) are measured by uniaxial tension test from freestanding SCS which are $2.5{\mu}m$ thick, $200-500{\mu}m$ wide specimens on the (100) plane. Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and tensile strength in the <110> direction are measured by micro-tensile testing system.

With the aid of finite element method, this paper deals with the problem of structural response variability of transmission tower subjected to the spatial variability of material properties, Young's modulus herein. The spatial variability of material property are modeled as two-dimensional stochastic field which has an isotropic auto-correlation function. Response variability has been computed based on two numerical techniques, such as the Neumann expansion method in conjunction with the Monte Carlo simulation method. The results by these numerical methods are compared with those by the deterministic approach.

Investigation for the preparation of high strength hardened cement paste using ordinary portland cement, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC) with various admixtures was carried out. The cement paste was mixed with 0.1 of water cement ratio by twin roll mill and cured 60 days in humidity chamber. When the quartz powder or white cement was added to the paste, the flexural strength was 900∼1000kg/㎠ and the Young's modulus was 8∼9×105kg/㎠. When the silicafume was added, the flexural strength was 800kg/㎠ and the Young's modulus was 6×105kg/㎠.
