In the present study, FE analysis was performed for characterising structural strength of a seat frame w.r.t. varying sectional shapes as well as different materials of the seat back frame based on the FMVSS 207 regulation in order to obtain the design outline of a lightweight seat frane structure. Four types of materials, i.e., SAPH440, Al7021, Al6082 and carbon/epoxy composites were applied to the seat back frame type beams and their bending behaviours were compared by three point bending FE analysis. Consequently, the lightweight structure of seat back frame with the equivalent strength characteristics of conventional frame was suggested.

Recent studies have revealed that plates stiffened by closed-section ribs can be designed to have greater strength. Thus, this study is about the increasing effect on local plate buckling strength of isotropic plates when longitudinally stiffened with closed-section ribs, which is mainly due to the rotational restraint of the closed-section ribs. The effects on buckling strengths of the stiffened plates are examined by numerical analyses. Three-dimensional finite element models were obtained using a general structural analysis program ABAQUS and a series of eigenvalue analyses were conducted. Through this study, the increasing effect on the local buckling strength due to the rotational stiffness is numerically verified. From the parametric studies, there is an obvious tendency that the local buckling strength of the stiffened plate would converge to the buckling strength of plate with fixed boundary condition. The findings of this study would contribute in improving the optimum design of longitudinally stiffened isotropic plates.

Torsional constants of both rectangular cross section and circular cross section are induced by exact solution, and was easy to calculate since of simple shape. However, it is very difficult to calculate the torsional constant of both an arbitrary cross-section and a composite cross-section. In this study, a finite element formulation was proposed as a method to calculate the torsional constant of both an arbitrary cross-section and a composite cross-section. From the numerical study, numerical results was compared with exact solution.

In a PEMFC gas channel with a trapezoidal cross-section, the effect of air and water inlet velocities on water removal characteristics is numerically studied via the volume of fluid(VOF) method. When the channel wall contact angle is 60 degrees, the air inlet velocities higher than 2.5 m/s are advantageous to obtain lower GDL surface water coverage ratio(WCR). The WCR increases as the wall contact angle increases to 90 or 120 degrees due to the relatively lower surface tension force. In overall, WCR decreases as the air inlet velocity increases and WCR increases as the water inlet velocity increases.

In this paper, a local deformation effect in thin-walled box beams is investigated via a finite element modal analysis. The analysis is carried out for single-cell and multi-cell box beam configurations. The single-cell box beam with and without a neck, which mimics a simple wind-turbine blade, is analyzed first. The results obtained by shell elements are compared to those of one-dimensional(1D) beam elements. It is observed that the wall thickness plays a crucial role in the natural frequencies of the beam. The 1D beam analysis deviates from the shell analysis when the wall thickness is either thin or thick. The shell modes(local deformations) are dominant as it becomes thin, whereas the shear deformation effects are significant as it does thick. The analysis is extended to the single-cell box beam with a neck, in which the shell modes are confined to near the neck. Finally the multi-cell box beam with a taper, which is quite similar to real wind-turbine blade configuration, is considered to investigate the local deformation effect. The results reveal that the 1D beam analysis cannot match with the shell analysis due to the local deformation, especially for the lagwise frequencies. There are approximately 5∼7% errors even if the number of segments is increased.

PURPOSES :This study proposes standards for rural access road pavement section and thickness design considering existing access road construction conditions; the study also proposes a complementary policy that can be used for design convenience.METHODS:Various literature review and case studies had been performed in terms of rural access road section and thickness design, both domestically and internationally, and this was followed by domestic rural access road field surveys. KPRP and KENLAYER were used to analyze the commonalities and predict the remaining life. Data on real cost is used to select an appropriate construction method through economic analysis.RESULTS:The economic efficiency of concrete pavement (15×15) was the highest in terms of economic efficiency of performance life and traffic volume. In the case of asphalt pavement, it is considered that the most economical method is to implement micro-surfacing method four times as a preventive maintenance method (once every 10 years and 4.5 years for asphalt concrete pavement and MS construction method, respectively). Repairable asphalt pavement is advantageous for areas where heavy vehicles are expected to pass. In the case of other general areas, it is considered economical to place concrete (15×15) pavement. However, as analytical results on its performance life are unavailable, it is to be considered for study in the future.CONCLUSIONS :This study proposed interim design guidelines based on various domestic and international design guidelines and case studies. However, in order to develop the final design criteria applicable to the field, it is necessary to (a) estimate the bearing capacity of the lower level of the pavement at various sites, (b) estimate the daily traffic volume, (c) implement advanced low-cost pavement technologies, and (d) propose maintenance standards and techniques for long-term performance.

The water removal characteristics in a PEMFC trapezoidal gas channel are investigated with the volume of fluid (VOF) method. For the case of wall contact angle of 60 degree, liquid water attaches on the top wall and moves toward the exit. In contrast, liquid water moves along the channel side corner or GDL surface irregularly for the higher wall contact angles. The hydrophillic wall contact angle of 60 degrees provides more favorable diffusion of reactants to cathode reaction sites as the GDL surface water coverage ratio approaches zero even if the water flow rate increases.

Due to a lack of the hoop action of lateral reinforcements the effective confining force in rectangular sections reduces compared to circular ones. Therefore, the stress-strain model obtained from the experimental data with circular sections overestimates the lateral confinement effect in rectangular sections, which evaluates seismic safety margin of overall structural system excessively. In this study experiments with laterally-confined square sections have been performed and the characteristic values composing stress-strain model have been analyzed. With introduction of section coefficients, in addition, the new unified stress-strain model applicable to square sections as well as circular ones has been proposed.

In order to avoid collapse of bridges in earthquakes bridge piers are generally designed to attain sufficient ductility. This full-ductility design method has merits for securing the seismic safety readily against strong earthquakes but, it has weakness of high cost design because of excessive safety margin. Recently, in many countries with high seismic technologies, the seismic design concept tends to shift from the collapse prevention design to the performance-based one which requires different performance (damage) levels according to the structural importance. In order to establish this performance-based design method the displacement ductility of confined concrete members should be evaluated quantitatively. And the stress-strain model of confined concrete is indispensible in evaluating displacement ductility. In this study, 6 test groups with different lateral reinforcement ratios were prepared. 10 same specimens with circular section for each group were tested to obtain more reliable test results. The characteristic values necessary for composing the stress-strain model were obtained from experiments. Based on these characteristic values the new stress-strain model modifying the Hoshikuma's one has been proposed.

Theories of advanced composite structures are too difficult for such field engineers and some simple methods are necessary. In this paper, Simple method of vibration analysis is presented. This method presented in this paper is studied self-weight and other loads. The result of the 2~3 times iteration is good enough for field engineering purposes. In the case of cantilevered composite materials beams with different cross section, increase of mass near the support does not significantly affect the vibration characteristics. As a calculations of the simple method of vibration analysis for cantilevered composite materials beams with different cross section, it is noted that the result of the second cycle at the point of free end (actually 5L/6 span) is only 2.2% away from the ‘exact’ solution.

The present study analyzes the flexure behavior of the circular CFT member through experiment and numerical analysis. Through comparison between experimental and numerical results, whether or not the member was a full composite have little effect on the behavior. There circular CFT’s flexure behavior when considering pure moment is almost similar regardless of the interface characteristics between the steel and concrete. This is because there is no difference in the neutral axis of the full-composite and non-composite circular CFT member.

해외에서 운용 중인 복층터널 중간슬래브의 경우 핵심 설계･시공 기술은 공개되지 않고 있다. 국내의 경우 도심지 교통정체 및 지상공간의 부족문제 등으로 복층터널의 수요가 증가할 것으로 예상되므로 복층 터널 중간슬래브 설계에 대한 국내 기술을 보유함으로써 복층터널 기술 보유국으로부터의 국내 건설시장 잠식을 방지하고 기술선점 및 세계 일류 원천기술 확보가 시급한 분야라고 할 수 있다. 복층터널의 중간슬래브는 터널 라이닝에 브래킷을 설치하여 그 위에 지지되는 구조이므로 하부층에 전 면 지지되는 콘크리트 도로 포장 슬래브와 교각과 거더에 지지되는 교량 슬래브와는 다른 구조적 형식을 가진다. 따라서 슬래브가 자중에 의해 과다한 응력이 발생하게 되는데 슬래브의 두께를 늘리게 되면 중간 슬래브에 발생하는 응력을 어느 정도 감소시킬 수 있다. 하지만 중간슬래브의 응력에 지배적인 영향이 미 치는 인자는 슬래브의 자중이기 때문에 슬래브의 두께를 늘 리는 것으로 응력을 감소시키는 데에는 한계가 있다. 실제 중간 슬래브의 설계를 위해서는 프리스트레싱과 같은 방법을 통해 응력을 감소시키는 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 중간슬래브 최적 단면 설계 방안을 도출 해 내기 위하여 프리스트레싱을 통한 복층터널 중간 슬래브의 단면 감소 방안에 대하여 검토하였다. 우선 그림 1과 같이 강선 배치 간격에 따른 주인장 응력을 검토 하였으며, 그림 에서 볼 수 있듯이 강선배치 간격이 1m인 경우 강선이 없는 중간슬래브에 비해 최대 인장응력이 약 16% 감소하였으며, 간격이 0.5m인 경우 강선이 없는 중간 슬래브에 비해 최대 인장응력이 약 31% 감소하는 것을 알 수 있다. 프리스트레싱에 따른 중간슬래브의 슬래브 두께 감소 효과 를 분석하였다. 그림 2에서 볼 수 있듯이 프리 스트레싱이 가 해지지 않은 두께 40cm의 슬래브에서 발생 하는 응력과 프리 스트레싱이 가해진 두께 30cm의 중간 슬래브에서 발생하는 응력이 유사하게 나타난다. 이와 같이 프리 스트레싱을 통해 서 중간슬래브의 두께 조절이 가능 하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 하지만 슬래브의 두께가 과도하게 얇아질 경우에는 차량하중 에 의한 처짐량을 제어할 수 없기 때문에 적정한 두께를 유지 하면서 프리스트레싱을 적용해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 섬유 그리드 보강재로 인한 아스팔트 포장의 단면 감소 효과를 정량적으로 분석하기 위 해, 포장 두께를 축소하지 않은 일반 아스팔트 포장 구간(그림 1 왼쪽)과 기층 두께를 5cm 축소하고 섬유 그리드를 시공하지 않은 구간(그림 1 가운데) 및 기층 두께를 5cm 축소하고 표층 하부에 섬유 그리드를 보강하여 시공한 구간(그림 1, 오른쪽)의 거동을 FWD를 이용하여 비교･분석하였다. FWD(Falling Weight Deflectometer) 하중은 4.1톤 2회, 8.0톤 2회 및 10.0톤 2회를 재하하였다. 일 반 아스팔트 포장구간과, 기층 두께를 5cm 축소한 구간, 기층 두께를 5cm 축소하고 섬유 그리드를 보강 한 구간의 처침량 데이터를 수집하였고, 동시에 시험구간 포장체 내부에 설치되어있는 계측기를 이용하여 변형률을 수집하였다. FWD 실험 결과, 기층두께 5cm 축소 + 섬유 그리드 보강 구간이 기층두께 5cm 축소 구간에 비해 처짐량 이 약 14% 작게 나타나 섬유 그리드의 구조적 보강 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 섬유 그리드 보강구간이 일반 아스팔트 포장구간에 비해서 처짐값은 37% 크지만 표층 하단부에서의 변형률은 유사하게 나타났으며 이를 이용한 구조해석 결과, 약 3cm의 섬유 그리드로 인한 포장 층의 두께 감소 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

PURPOSES: This study aims to develop a repair material that can enhance pavement performance, inducing rapid traffic opening through early strength development and fast setting time by utilizing MgO-based patching materials for repairing road pavements. METHODS : To consider the applicability of MgO-based patching materials for repairing domestic road pavements, first, strength development and setting time of the materials were evaluated, based on MgO to KH2PO4 ratio, water to binder ratio, and addition ratio of retarder (Borax), by which the optimal mixture ratio of the developed material was obtained. To validate the performance of the developed material as a repair material, the strength(compressive strength and bonding strength) and durability (freezing, thawing, and chloride ion penetration resistance) was checked through testing, and its applicability was evaluated. RESULTS : The results showed that when an MgO-based patching material was used, the condensation time was reduced by 80%, and the compressive strength was enhanced by approximately 300%, as compared to existing cement-based repair materials. In addition, it was observed that the strength (compressive strength and bonding strength) and durability (freezing and thawing, and chloride ion penetration resistance) showed an excellent performance that satisfied the regulations. CONCLUSIONS : The results imply that an emergent repair/restoration could be covered by a rapid-hardening cement to meet the traffic limitation (i.e. the traffic restriction is only several hours for repair treatment). Furthermore, MgO-based patching materials can improve bonding strength and durability compared to existing repair materials.
