The Z-type spring is a key part of the non-vibration air suspension. The non-vibration air suspension was developed long ago and widely used in developed countries. It has strong durability, provides a smooth ride, protects the vehicle body, and protects luggages from damage in truck. In this study, the structural strength of the Z-type spring was evaluated by computing the maximum displacement and the von Mises maximum stress results from applying the load condition based on the maximum weight of luggage in the rear space of a truck.

타워형 집광태양열발전의 핵심요소인 헬리오스타트는 경량화를 통한 설비비 저감이 매우 중요한다. 반사판 면적 16m2의 기 존 헬리오스타트 대비 샌드위치 패널을 사용하여 무게를 50% 경량화한 헬리오스타트의 풍하중 평가를 수행하였다. 반사판이 수직, 45 도 경사인 경우에 대해 전산유체역학 해석을 하여 반사판에 작용하는 풍압을 산정하고 구조해석을 수행하여 최대응력의 발생부위 및 반사판의 변위에 의한 반사각도의 이격을 계산하였다. 45도 경사진 반사판이 바람이 불어오는 반대편으로 향한 경우가 바람을 마주보 는 배치보다 최대 풍하중이 더 크게 나타났으며, 반사판 풍하측으로의 유동박리에 의한 후류의 발달도 반사판의 배치에 따라 매우 상 이한 형태를 보였다. 경량화 모델의 경우 반사판 구동을 위한 기어의 배치를 변경하여 핵심 지지체인 기둥의 강성을 확보할 필요가 있 음을 확인하였다.

Load carrying capacity(LCC) can be reduced from its design value as a result of film thickness change when a journal is misaligned and some part of bearing is unintentionally translated. In this study, the numerical solution of the incompressible Reynolds equation was obtained by using the finite difference method and mass conservation algorithm (JFO boundary condition) with periodic pressure distribution in circumferential direction to analyze the change of LCC due to journal misalignment and step change of film thickness in axial direction for a journal bearing of vertical pumps. Smallest LCC in each eccentricity ratio is obtained as two angular positions are changed – an angular position where misalignment occurs, and another angular position where the axial step takes place while the degree of misalignment is fixed at 90%. Compared with the reaction force of plain journal bearing, the LCC reduced as much as 26.7% due to geometric effects of journal bearing at the eccentricity ratio of 0.9, while the step height is no higher than 0.1 times of bearing clearance.

The construction of national common language is an important issue in that of modern nation. From ‘Guanhua’ in the late Qing dynasty to ‘Guoyu’ in the republic of China, and then to ‘Putonghua’ in the late Anti-Japanese War and after the founding of new China, these names not only have a close connection but also reflect the different functional differences. Now, the construction of national common language in ethnic areas and the unification of cross-strait languages have become new national strategies. Adopting again ‘Guoyu’ names and assigning new meanings from the perspective of national identity can help to strengthen national identity, promote national unity and cross-strait reunification, and regulate language use.

In this study, two full-scale gravity load-designed reinforced concrete corner beam-column joints were tested by being subjected to uniand bi-directional cyclic lateral loading. The test variable was loading type: uni- or bi-directional loading. To investigate the effect of the loading type on the cyclic behavior of joint specimens, damage progression, force-deformation relation, contribution of joint deformation to total drift, joint stress-strain response, and cumulative energy dissipation were investigated. The test data suggest that bidirectional loading can amplify damage accumulation in the joint region.

The objective of this study is to find the optimal production process in the aluminum IMS core parts. To reduce the production process, the total stage was designed at a total of 2 stages and 3 stages. In the total 2 stages process, the production stage was divided into a shaft part production and a yoke part production. In the total 3 stages process, the yoke production stages were subdivided into the 2 stages for distributing the stress. The results were compared and analyzed in terms of effective stress, folding characteristics and load characteristics. The stress distributions according to the production total stages were almost the same, the yoke production stage was received high stress due to the high strain. Both the tubular shaft yoke and solid shaft yoke according to the production total stages did not have any problems in the production because there did not occur the folding, metal flow and under-fill. When the total 2 stages were employed, the load for producing the tubular shaft yoke and the solid shaft yoke was decreased by 35.0% and 27.1%, respectively. As the results, when the total 2 stages process is applied rather than 3 stages process, the product is produced quickly and it is expected to be advantageous for the production cost due to the low load.

덤프 트럭 데크의 경량화를 통한 연료 소비를 줄이고 에코 친화적인 설계를 위해서는 정확한 구조 분석이 필요하다. 지금까지 데크의 하중은 정수압 또는 토압 이론을 기반으로 계산되었다. 이 방법으로 데크의 하중 불균일을 계산할 수 없다. 하중 분포는 골재 입자의 크기 분포 및 상호 작용에 따라 달라진다. 이산요소법은 유한요소법보다 효과적으로 골재의 거동을 시뮬레이션할 수 있다. 본 논문에 서는 벌크 밀도와 안식각을 측정하여 주요 특성을 얻었다. 15톤 덤프 트럭 데크는 범핑, 브레이킹 및 회전 시의 운동 조건을 적용하여 얻은 하중을 사용했다. 시뮬레이션은 이산요소해석 소프트웨어인 EDEM을 사용했다. 데크의 응력 및 변형 분포는 NASTRAN에 의해 계산되었다. 측정된 값과 비교하였고, 이를 통해 DEM 시뮬레이션의 결과는 수학적 가정에 의한 결과보다 정확함을 확인하였다.

PURPOSES : Concrete pavement is excellent in structural performance and durability. However, its functionality – such as noise and skid resistance – is a shortcoming. Functionality such as noise reduction and skid resistance of concrete pavement is affected by the texture surface, and the texture surface is classified according to the length of the wavelength. In recent years, Fine-size exposed aggregate concrete pavement has been applied, which has excellent structural performance and durability, and secures functionalities such as noise reduction and long-term skid resistance by randomly forming texture surface. Fine-size exposed aggregate concrete pavements are constructed by removing the surface cement binder to randomly expose coarse aggregate and their functionality is mainly governed by the surface texture. However, deteriorated concrete by tire-pavement friction and deicing agent may cause abrasion and aggregate loss on the surface texture; thus reducing their functional performances. Abrasion is created by the thin cutoff of aggregate texture under repeated tire-pavement friction. In addition, aggregate loss is defined by the detachment of aggregates from cement binder. This study aims to evaluate the abrasion and aggregate loss of Fine-size exposed aggregate concrete pavement surface texture under tire-pavement friction and scaling tests. METHODS : In the study, abrasion and aggregate loss of tining and exposed aggregate concrete surface treatments were evaluated. Deterioration of each surface treatment was replicated by scaling test under ASTM C 672 test method. Afterward, abrasion test was conducted by ASTM C779 to simulate the tire-pavement friction under traffic. Consequently, abrasion and aggregate loss were measured. RESULTS : Abrasion depth of non-scaling tining, 10-mm EACP, and 8-mm EACP was 1.76, 1.12, and 1.01mm, respectively. Compared to scaling surface treatments, the difference of abrasion depth in tining texture was the largest with value of 0.4mm. For both textures of finesize exposed aggregate concrete, abrasion depth difference was about 0.1mm. Moreover, The 10-mm EACP exhibited a 2.6% of aggregate loss rate caused by tire-pavement friction before conducting concrete deterioration test. After 40-cycle scaling test, aggregate loss increased up to 12.2%. For 8-mm EACP, aggregate loss rate was 1.7% on non-scaling concrete. Further, this rate was magnified up to 7.3% for the 40-cycle scaling concrete. CONCLUSIONS : Under non-scaling or scaling tests, fine-size exposed aggregate concrete pavement showed better abrasion resistance than tining texture since tining was formed by aggregates and cement binder. Additionally, rate of aggregate loss was significant when EACP experienced the deicing agent under numerous cycles of freeze-thaw action.

In this paper, the dynamic snapping of the 3-free-nodes spatial truss model was studied. A governing equation was derived considering geometric nonlinearity, and a model with various conditions was analyzed using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The dynamic buckling phenomenon was observed in consideration of sensitive changes to the force mode and the initial condition. In addition, the critical load level was analyzed. According to the results of the study, the level of critical buckling load elevated when the shape parameter was high. Parallelly, the same result was caused by the damping term. The sensitive asymmetrical changes showed complex orbits in the phase space, and the critical load level was also becoming lowly. In addition, as the value of damping constant was high, the level of critical load also increases. In particular, the larger the damping constant, the faster it converges to the equilibrium point, and the occurrence of snapping was suppressed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the distribution patterns of displacement and acceleration fields in a nonlinear soil ground based on the interaction of high-speed train, wheel, rail, and ground. For this purpose, a high-speed train in motion was modeled as the actual wheel, and the vertical contact of wheel and rail and the lateral contact, caused by meandering motion, were simulated; this simulation was based on the moving mass analysis. The soil ground part was given the nonlinear behavior of the upper ground part by using the modified the Drucker– Prager model, and the changes in displacement and acceleration were compared with the behavior of the elastic and inelastic grounds. Using this analysis, the displacement and acceleration ranges close to the actual ground behavior were addressed. Additionally, the von-Mises stress and equivalent plastic strain at the ground were examined. Further, the equivalent plastic and total volumetric strains at each failure surface were examined. The variation in stresses, such as vertical stress, transverse pressure, and longitudinal restraint pressure of wheel-rail contact, with the time history was investigated using moving mass. In the case of nonlinear ground model, the displacement difference obtained based on the train travel is not large when compared to that of the elastic ground model, while the acceleration is caused to generate a large decrease.

최근 우리나라는 대규모 지진이 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 유감지진의 발생 규모 및 빈도가 급격히 증가하고 있어 지 진피해 저감 기술에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 기존 지진피해 저감 기술은 구조물의 단면적을 크게하여 강성을 증가시키는 방법으로 과도한 설계 및 시공이 발생하여 상당한 비용이 소요되고 경제적인 측면에서 비효율적이다. 구조물에 대해 지진하중 으로부터 효율적으로 대응하기 위한 내진설계 방법에는 제진기술이 있다. 제진기술에 활용되는 제진장치는 지진 발생 후 재료의 항복으로 인해 장치의 손상 및 파괴가 발생하여 교체가 불가피하고 시간 및 비용이 소요된다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 기존 제진기술의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 에너지 소산 능력 및 복원력이 우수한 초탄성 형상기억합금 및 폴리우레탄 적용 자동복원 감쇠장치의 구조실험을 수행 및 분석하여 지진 발생 후 지속적으로 활용 가능한 댐퍼 장치에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

비정형 형태의 건축물에서 발생하는 풍하중은 KBC-2016의 풍하중 산정식으로 산정할 수 없기 때문에 풍동실험을 통해 풍하 중을 평가할 수밖에 없다. KBC-2016으로 비정형건축물을 정형적인 건축물로 가정하여 풍하중을 평가한다면 과소평가될 우려가 있 다. 그러므로 보다 합리적인 평가를 위해 풍하중을 할증시켜줄 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 평면형태가 L자인 건축물을 대상으로 풍력 실험을 실시하여 풍하중을 산정하였으며, 이를 KBC-2016으로 산정한 풍하중과 비교하였다. 풍동실험을 통해 구한 L자형 건축물의 풍 하중과 KBC-2016으로 L자형 건축물과 동일한 폭과 깊이를 가진 사각형평면 건축물을 대상으로 구한 풍하중의 비로 풍하중 할증계수 를 도출하였다. 풍하중 할증계수는 1.6~2.2로 나타났다. KBC-2016에 의해 평가한 사각형 건축물의 풍하중에 풍하중 할증계수를 곱하 면 L자형 건축물의 풍하중이 된다.

Engine components subjected to cyclic thermal and mechanical loads may experience low-cycle or high-cycle fatigue failures. In particular, both of these failures can easily occur in aluminum cylinder heads, which are exposed to high temperatures and combustion pressures. Predicting the fatigue characteristics of the cylinder head are very important in the design stage of engine development. In this study, a finite element analysis was performed to predict the low-cycle thermal fatigue around exhaust ports of the cylinder head. Temperature distributions are obtained through the heat transfer analysis considering thermal cyclic test. The analysis result involves large plastic deformations, indicating compressive stresses at high temperatures and subsequently turn into tensile stresses at cold conditions. And the results showed that the critical regions such as exhaust port with large plastic strains coincided well with crack locations from thermal cyclic test. Next, design changes were made to the critical areas of the exhaust ports, and the results showed that the durability was improved by about 60% over the initial model and there were no problems in the thermal fatigue test.

잭업 드릴링 리그 (Jack-up drilling rigs)는 해양자원개발 분야 중 석유 및 가스 탐사 산업에서 널리 사용되는 대표적인 해양구조 물이다. 이러한 잭업 구조물은 대체로 얕은 수심에서 사용하도록 설계되었지만 에너지 산업의 추세로 대수심 및 가혹한 환경 조건에서도 사용이 가능한 설계가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 잭업구조물의 운영환경 확장에 따라서 과도한 설계를 최소화하고 신뢰성 반영된 설계법이 요구되었다. 기존의 해양구조물 산업에서 잭업 구조물의 설계법은 사용(혹은 허용)응력 설계 (WSD: Working (or Allowable) Stress Design) 방법을 사용하여 설계가 되고 있었다. 이러한 설치환경변화에 따라서 충분한 신뢰성을 확보가 가능한 하중 및 저항계수 (LRFD: Load and Resistance Factored Design) 방법을 최근 개발되었고 규정화가 되었다. LRFD 방법은 통계적 기반으로 한 한계상태설계 개념으로 잭업구조 물의 구성구조부재의 하중과 전산수치해석을 이용한 강도의 불확성을 하중 및 저항 계수로 표현하는 설계법이다. 개발된 LRFD 방법은 실제 잭업구조물 설계의 적합성 판단을 위하여 기존의 WSD 방법과의 정량적인 비교 분석이 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 기존의 WSD와 LRFD 방법으로 이용하여 실 잭업 구조물의 레그 구조를 대상으로 상용유한요소해석코드를 이용하여 정량적인 UC (Unity Check) 값을 기반으로 비교 분석하였다. 분석된 결과로 다양한 환경하중조건 하에서 LRFD 방법을 사용하여 잭업구조물의 레그(Leg) 설계에서 상 당히 합리적인 UC 값을 가지고 기존 대표적인 WSD기법 중에 하나인 API-RP 코드 대비 약 31 % 차이가 분석되었다. 따라서 LRFD 설계 방법이 WSD 방법에 비해 구조 최적화 및 합리적인 설계에 더 유리하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
