The services of infrastructure are often compromised in a postdisaster situation. This could be due to a direct physical impact on the infrastructure or due to a cascading impact resulting from reduced services of the supporting infrastructure. The reduced infrastructure services are unable to adequately meet the postdisaster community needs. Therefore, infrastructure facilities are likely to be operated with high stress on their capacities above the allowable stress (i.e. designed capacities) for meeting the services required. The system is unable to sustain the required serviceability level without the infusion of additional capacities when the stress level exceeds the limit stress. For example, after Haiti’s devastating earthquake, disrupted utility services, limited road networks, and the lack of civic governance influenced the capacity of all essential service providers. Furthermore, the earthquake-impacted hospitals had limited resources such as patient beds, medical staff, medical supplies and equipment for meeting the increased health needs of the community. As a result, the hospital experienced increased levels of stress related to services as they were unable to adequately meet the community health needs without external assistance from NGOs or other entities. Therefore, understanding the stress level in postdisaster infrastructure is critical for community recovery. This paper presents a new framework to (i) explore and investigate varying functional stress level in infrastructure under various disaster scenarios and (ii) develop strategies for alleviating increased stress levels in order to facilitate the recovery process. The research framework is explained using a hypothetical situation focusing on the operation of power facilities in a postdisaster situation. The proposed unique approach enables the development of sustainable mitigation strategies by relieving the stress level in critical infrastructure while ensuring to meet recovery demands at an acceptable level.

DEPENDENCE OF FATIGUE LIMIT OF HIGH-TENSION BOLTS ON MEAN STRESS AND ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH

조성산,장훈,이경우 한국자동차공학회 2009 International journal of automotive technology Vol.10 No.4

High tension bolts in critical joints in internal combustion engines are susceptible to fatigue failure. Computeraided bolted joint design procedures require knowledge of the dependence of bolt fatigue limit on the mean stress and ultimate tensile strength. This dependence is investigated with staircase fatigue limit tests. The test results show that when the bolt fatigue limit is estimated with the nominal stress of the bolt, it decreases with increasing tensile strength and nominal mean stress. However, there is a range of the nominal mean stress where the bolt fatigue limit is almost constant. The test results are interpreted with finite element analysis.

인장하중이 작용하는 평판에 존재하는 반타원 표면균열의 J-적분 계산식

This paper provides a simplified engineering J estimation method for semi-elliptical surface cracked plates in tension, based on the reference stress approach. Note that the essential element of the reference stress approach is the plastic limit load in the definition of the reference stress. However, for surface cracks, the definition of the limit load is ambiguous (local or global limit load), and thus the most relevant limit load (and thus reference stress) for the J estimation should be determined. In the present work, such limit load solution is found by comparing reference stress based J results with those from extensive 3-D finite element analyses. Validation of the proposed equation against FE J results based on actual experimental tensile data of a 304 stainless steel shows excellent agreements not only for the J values at the deepest point but also for those at an arbitrary point along the crack front, including at the surface point. Thus the present results provide a good engineering tool for elastic-plastic fracture analyses of surface cracked plates in tension.

Creep stress intensity limit(S₁) value for 1% strain in 10? hr was determined using strain energy method based on the work done during creep. For this purpose, 1% creep strain tests for commercial type 316 (J316) and type 316LN (K316LN) stainless steels were conducted with various stress conditions at 550℃ or 593℃. The S₁ value of the K316LN stainless steel was 135 MPa at 550℃ and creep work was 87 KJ/m³. In order to identify reasonability of the strain energy method, the method of isochronus stress-strain curves(ISSC) for the J316 stainless steel was used comparatively. The S₁values for it showed good agreement between two methods. The strain energy method can be simply obtained using only three or four short-term 1% strain data without ISSC obtained by long-term creep data. Particularly, this method is useful in estimation of the stress intensity for new and emerging class of high-temperature materials where creep and tensile data for empirical extrapolation to design life is lacking.

A variety of natural biological tissues (e.g., skin, ligaments, and blood vessels) exhibit a J-shaped stress–strain behavior, combining soft, compliant mechanics and large levels of stretchability together with a natural ‘strain-limiting’ mechanism to prevent damage from excessive strain. This review provides an extensive overview of recent advancements in the field of strain-engineered stretchable constructs, with a particular emphasis on strain-limiting constructs mimicking the J-shaped stress–strain behavior. The use of synthetic materials that have a similar stress–strain behavior to the target could be helpful for many potential applications, such as tissue engineering (to simulate the J-shaped nonlinear mechanical properties of biological tissues) and biomedical devices (to enable natural, comfortable integration of stretchable electronics with biological tissues/organs). In recent years, several studies have been conducted on these constructs because of their exceptional ability to withstand large deformations with electrical stability in stretchable and wearable electronics. One of the purposes of this review is to summarize the recent fabrication approaches used for developing strain-engineered stretchable constructs mimicking the J-shaped stress–strain/strain-limiting behavior of biological tissues. The review also highlights recent applications of strain-limiting constructs, which have shown their potential in incorporating into a broad range of innovative fields, such as soft robotics, biomedical devices, wearable and stretchable electronics, and human–machine interfaces. Lastly, we concluded the review by pointing out some limitations and future prospective of the strain-engineered stretchable constructs.

정명조,박윤원 한국전산구조공학회 1997 한국전산구조공학회논문집 Vol.10 No.4

핵분열로 인한 고온, 고압의 냉각수를 유지하는 원자로 용기는 원자로의 냉각 또는 가열시 압력에 의한 응력과 함께 열응력이 가해지고 원자로 벽의 온도변화에 따라 파괴인성치가 변화하기 때문에 임의의 결함이 존재할 경우 건전성 확보가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 가상결함이 성장하지 않도록 압력과 온도를 조정하면서 냉각 및 가열시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 원자로 운전 중 냉각 및 가열시 안전하게 운전하기 위한 압력/온도 한계곡선을 구하는 절차에 필요한 이론을 조사하였고 이의 도출을 위한 해석과정을 전산화하였다. 국내원전 중 가장 오래된 고리 1호기에 대한 압력/온도 한계곡선을 다양한 냉각 및 가열률에 따라 설정하였고 이들 결과를 검토하였다. A reactor pressure vessel, which contains fuel assemblies and reactor vessel internals, has the thermal stress resulting from the cool-down and heat-up of the vessel wall in combination with the pressure stress from system pressure resulting in large stresses. The combination of the pressure stress and thermal stress along with a decrease in fracture toughness may cause through-wall propagation of a relatively small crack. Therefore, it is necessary to define the relations between operating pressure and temperature during cool-down and heat-up. In this study, theory of fracture mechanics for a pressure/temperature limit curve is investigated and a numerical procedure for generating it is developed. Plant-specific limit curves for the Kori unit 1 plant, the oldest nuclear power plant in Korea, have been obtained for several cooling and heating rates and their results are discussed.

In this study, the electromechanical properties in Sn-Cu double layer stabilized GdBCO coated conductor (CC) tapes with and without external lamination under uniaxial tension were examined at 77 K and self-field. Their irreversible stress and strain limits were determined using a loading-unloading scheme based on different critical current (Ic) recovery criteria. The repeated tests were performed and statistical estimation was done to check the reproducibility depending on the criterion adopted in evaluating the electromechanical properties. From the results, it showed that the Sn-Cu double-layer stabilized CC tapes have the higher irreversible stress limit, but lower irreversible strain limit as compared to brass laminated ones. Through the repeated tests, it can be found that a small scattering of irreversible limits existed in both CC tape samples. Finally, similar strain sensitivity of Ic in both CC tapes was obtained.

Their irreversible stress and strain limits were determined using a loading-unloading scheme based on different critical current ($I_c$) recovery criteria. The repeated tests were performed and statistical estimation was done to check the reproducibility depending on the criterion adopted in evaluating the electromechanical properties. From the results, it showed that the Sn-Cu double-layer stabilized CC tapes have the higher irreversible stress limit, but lower irreversible strain limit as compared to brass laminated ones. Through the repeated tests, it can be found that a small scattering of irreversible limits existed in both CC tape samples. Finally, similar strain sensitivity of $I_c$ in both CC tapes was obtained.
