Gas springs applied to various industrial fields are generally composed of a cylinder, a piston rod, a cover, and a seal mount. Because of the thin wall of the cylinder, small gas springs are manufactured using a roller forming process that presses the cylinder wall into a groove of cover in the cylinder. In this study, finite element analysis and process design of roller forming are performed to systematically manufacture the small gas spring and develop a roller forming machine. In order to perform roller forming analysis, tensile tests of structural steel pipe are performed and mechanical properties are analyzed. Roller forming process parameters such as radius and depth of roller grooves are derived using the incompressible condition of plastic deformation theory and the results of finite element roller forming analysis. Using the derived roller shape, a roller forming machine is developed and prototypes of the small gas spring are manufactured. Finally, the dimensional accuracy of the manufactured gas spring prototypes is analyzed through three-dimensional shape measurement.

본 연구는 지진에 저항하는 부재인 비보강 조적벽체로 구성된 건물의 내진성능평가에 활용되는 비선형 정적해석을 위한 비보강 조적벽체의 해석모델을 수립하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 해석모델은 비보강 조적벽체의 휨거동을 모사하기 위한 파이버 요소와 비보강 조적벽체의 전단에 대한 응답을 예측하기 위한 전단스프링 요소로 구성된다. 본 논문은 먼저 제안하고 있는 모델의 형상에 대해서 설명하고, 기존에 행해진 조적조 프리즘의 실험결과로부터 얻은 응력-변형률 곡선을 근거로 파이버와 전단스프링 요소의 물성치에 대한 결정 방법을 설명한다. 제시하고 있는 모델은 비선형 정적 해석결과와 다른 연구자들에 의해 수행된 실험결과를 비교하여 타당성을 검증한다. 해당 모델은 최대강도, 초기강성, 그리고 이들로부터 얻어지는 비보강 조적벽체의 하중-변위 곡선을 적절하게 모사하고 있다. 또한, 해석모델이 비보강 조적벽체의 파괴모드를 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타난다.

Reinforced concrete shear walls are effective for resisting lateral loads imposed by wind or earthquakes. Observed damages of the shear wall in recent earthquakes in Chile(2010) and New Zealand(2011) exceeded expectations. Various analytical models have been proposed in order to incorporate such response features in predicting the inelastic response of RC shear walls. However, the model has not been implemented into widely available computer programs, and has not been sufficiently calibrated with and validated against extensive experimental data at both local and global response levels. In this study, reinforced concrete shear walls were modeled with fiber slices, where cross section and reinforcement details of shear walls can be arranged freely. Nonlinear analysis was performed by adding nonlinear shear spring elements that can represent shear deformation. This analysis result will be compared with the existing experiment results. To investigate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls, reinforced concrete single shear walls with rectangular wall cross section were selected. The analysis results showed that the yield strength of the shear wall was approximately the same value as the experimental results. However, the yielding displacement of the shear wall was still higher in the experiment than the analysis. The analytical model used in this study is available for the analysis of shear wall subjected to high axial forces.
