The residual stress generated in the boron steel blank formed via hot press forming process was predicted by JMatPro, a material property modeler, and Abaqus. The numerical predictions were compared by the experimental measurements obtained by the instrumented indentation. Both the predicted and measured principal stresses monitored at the outer surface of central bending position were qualitatively in good agreement. It was concluded that the residual stresses generated from hot forming process is not negligible as it has been generally assumed, although the spring back deformation is quite small. This should be specially considered from the part design stage since the tensile nature of the residual stress exhibited on the surface may lead to the stress corrosion cracking.

A rigid visco-plastic finite element method has been developed for modeling superplastic forming processes. The optimum pressure-time relationship for a target strain rate and thickness distributions was predicted using two-node line element based on membrane approximation for plane strain and axisymmetric condition. Analysis of superplastic forming was carried out using the developed program and the numerical results were compared to the values available in the literature for plane strain problems. For description of the contact between the dies and sheet, the direct projection method was applied to the complicated problem and the validity of the scheme was tested. Experiments for the various geometries such as hemisphere and cone were performed with the developed forming machine using the calculated optimum pressure-time curves. Comparison between analysis and experiments showed good agreement.

Structural impact problems are becoming increasingly important for a modern defense industry, high-speed transportation, and other applications because of the weight reduction with high strength. In this study, a numerical investigation on the impact fracture behavior of aluminum plates was performed under various projectile conditions such as nose shapes, velocities, and incidence angles. In order to reduce the iterative numerical analysis, the Latin Square Method was employed. The influence factor was then determined by an FE analysis according to the conditions. The results were evaluated by means of a statistical significance interpretation using variance assessment. It was shown that the velocity and incidence angle can be the most important influence factors representing the impact absorption energy and plastic deformation, respectively.

The linear analysis for the balance of linear momentum of a structure is relatively easy to perform, but the error becomes large when the structure experiences large deformation. Therefore, the material and geometric nonlinearity need to be considered for the precise calculations in that case. The plastic flow of a ductile steel-like metal mainly transforms its dissipated mechanical energy into heat, which transfers under the first and second law of thermodynamics. This heat increases the temperature of the material and the strength of the material decreases accordingly, which affects mechanical behavior of the given structure. This paper presents a finite-strain thermo-elasto-plastic steel model. This model can handle large deformation and thermal load simultaneously, which is common during earthquake periods. Two 3-dimensional finite element analyses verify this formulation.

The researches on circular hollow section(CHS) connections have been conducted continuously because of development of material properties and complex local behavior of the connections. The purpose of this study is that the effects of material strength and chord wall slenderness on chord plastification and strength of CHS X-joint truss connection under compression on branch member were evaluated. To this end, finite element analyses were performed for various connections, using ANSYS Mechanical APDL program. Based on the analysis results, the design strength of the connections according to chord plastification limit state in KBC were examined. Finally, special considerations for CHS X-joint connection design were suggested.

This study proposed a damage index for steel members and examined a process where steel square tubular columns under cycle loading failed to meet the damage index. A nonlinear analysis was carried out and a damage process analyzed using a finite element program. Material properties and strain characteristics were obtained from material testing. The effect on the damage of members was analyzed according to varying kinds of steels and conditions of loading based on material testing results. According to strain characteristics and cumulative plastic strain of each variable, the effect of conditions of loading and kinds of steels on the damage could be estimated quantitatively.

This study aims at investigating the undrained behavior of the normally consolidated clay foundation using single hardening constitutive model based on elasticity and plasticity theories. The specimen employed was sampled at Mooan near the down stream of Young San river and remolded into consolidation apparatus. 11 soil parameters for the model was determined from simple tests such as isotropic compression and consolidation undrained triaxial compression tests. FEM program to predict the undrained behavior of the foundation was developed and back analysis was performed to verify prediction ability of the FEM program. Finally plate load test on the 2-dimensional model foundation was carried out in order to compare numerical analysis and observed values on the foundation.

활성금속 브레이징 방법으로 스테인레스 스틸과 질화규소를 접합하여 기계적 특성 및 유한요소법을 사용하여 접합체에서 발생되는 잔류응력의 크기를 조사하였다. 고강도 접합체를 제조하기 위하여 연성금속인 Cu 및 Cu/Mo 적층체를 중간재로 사용하였으며, 중간재의 두께 및 구조에 따라 접합체에서 발생되는 잔류응력의 크기 및 분포가 접합강도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다.중간재인 Cu의 두께가 0.2mm 일대 세라믹스에 발생되는 최대 잔류응력의 크기가 급격히 감소하였으며, 최대 접합강도가 나타났다. Cu/Mo 다층 중간재를 사용한 접합체에서는 Cu/Mo 두께비가 감소할수록 접합강도는 증가되었다. 스테인레스 스틸/질화규소 접합체에서 Cu/Mo 중간재의 사용은 Cu 중간재 사용보다 접합강도를 증가시키는데 효과적이었으며, 최대 접합강도는 450Mpa 정도이었다. Cu/Mo 중간재를 사용한 접합체에서는 Mo에 최대 인장방향의 잔류응력이 발생하여 강도 측정시 Mo의 지배적인 소성변형으로 잔류응력이 감소되어 접합체의 접합강도를 향상시키는 것으로 생각된다.

The object of the research is to estimate for pearlite structure of quenched carbon steels. The effects of temperature on physical properties metallic structures and the latent heat by phase transformation were considered. In this study a set of constitutive equations relevant to the analysis of thermo-elasto plastic materials with pearlite phase transformation during quenching process way presented on the basis of continuum thermo-dynamics.

The volume fraction of pearlite was obtained from the results of calculated metallic structure by Finite element equation.

A finite element procedure which can trace plastic collapse behavior of plane frame structures under small and large deformation is presented. The member is assumed to be prismatic and straight, and has the rectangular or I cross section. For the elasto-plastic analysis, the concept of plastic hinge is introduced and the incremental displacement method is applied. The limit state condition of the plastic hinge is considered under the combined condition of a bending moment and an axial force. Numerical examples are presented in order to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed procedure.
