Abstract

The postprocessing technology has been advanced diversely to accommodate the tendency of increasingly refined and complicated practices of finite element modeling in pace with enhanced capabilities of computers and improved algorithm of equation solvers. As a result of such progresses in both hardware and software, it became practically meaningful to inspect and analyze the elasto-plastic behavior using the intermediate results from the increasing number of incremental and iterative processes. This paper is concerned about the new methods of postprocessing with computer graphic visualization of elasto-plastic behavior on the basis of the theoretically reorganized analysis results. This paper proposes a new method of rendering the plastic zone, and new approaches of analyzing and interpreting the elasto-plastic behavior using the graphical information visualized in the form of the yield surface and the stress path, or in the form of the Mohr circles and the failure envelope.

컴퓨터의 성능이 향상되고 해석 알고리즘이 개선될수록 유한요소 모델링은 정교해지고 복잡해지는 경향이 있으며, 그에 상응하여 후처리 기술도 다양하게 발전하게 되었다. 이와같이 하드웨어적, 소프트웨어적인 진전을 바탕으로 탄소성해석에서는 더욱 세분화된 단계적 증분과 반복의 중간 계산 결과를 이용하여 탄소성 거동을 관찰하고 분석하는 것이 실용적인 의미를 갖게 되었다. 이 논문은 유한요소해석을 통해서 얻은 계산 결과로 부터 탄소성 재료의 역학적인 거동을 이론적으로 구성하고, 컴퓨터 그래픽스로 가시화하는 새로운 후처리 방법에 관하여 기술하였다. 또한 소성 거동의 진행을 표현하는 새로운 방법과 해석의 중간단계에서 생성된 데이터를 항복곡면과 응력경로의 형태로 재구성하거나 또는 Mohr원과 파괴포락선의 형태로 재구성하여 탄소성 거동을 분석하고 이해하는 방법을 제안하였다.
