This paper evaluates the interface shear strength of HDPE textured geomembrane. The interface shear strength between textured geomembrane and marl, and textured geomembrane and woven geotextile were measured; and the smooth geomembrane was used to evaluate the effect of "texture" on the interface shear strength. The interface shear strength was measured using a large direct shear testing device under several conditions including the presence of water, and the normal stresses that were 12, 24, 45, 100, 500, and 1,000 kPa. From testing results, it was found that there was meaningful reduction in the interface shear strength in the presence of water, but the effect of normal stress was not clear. The interface shear strength was measured to be significantly different for smooth geomembrane, whose strength was measured to be as small as half that of the textured geomembrane.

일반적으로 음향 문제에 상용되는 경계요소법은 Kirchhoff-Helmholtz 적분 방정식에 약특이성과 강특이성의 커널을 갖고 있어, 경계면에 매우 근접한 음장을 해석할 때 수치 적분 과정에서 큰 오차를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 평면파 성분을 이용하여 약특이성 방정식 및 특이성이 제거된 음장 음압의 과도한 오차는 약특이성 경계 적분 방정식의 적용으로 제거될 수 있었다. 부드러운 경계면을 가진 경우는 모든 특이성의 제거가 가능하여 특이성 처리를 위한 특별한 처리가 불필요하게 되었다. 제안된 방법을 검증하기 위하여 몇 가지 단순한 모델에 대하여 경계 요소 계산을 수행하였고, 경계면 부근의 근접 음장에서 음압 예측의 정확도가 향상되는 결과를 얻었다.

A numerical skill for effective treatment of inclined boundaries in a finite element method is introduced. A finite element method has been frequently used to simulate hydraulic phenomena in a coastal zone since it can be applied to irregular and complex geometry. In case elliptic partial equations are governing equations for a finite element model, however, there is a difficulty in treating boundary conditions properly for cases in which boundaries are vertically inclined. In this study, a method to treat such inclined boundaries using Bessel functions for a finite element method is introduced and compared with analytical solutions.

본 논문에서는 열탄점소성 손상과 접촉 문제의 효율적인 해석을 위하여 적응성 영역/경계 분할법을 제안하였다. 적응성 영역/경계 분할법은 시간 증분 또는 반복 기법 단계에서 열탄점소성 손상과 같은 재료 비선형성을 감안하여 부영역을 재설정하며, 접촉에 따른 경계 비선형성은 경계면을 통하여 부영역으로부터 독립적으로 분할한다. 분할된 각각의 부영역과 경계면을 기준으로 유한요소 정식화를 수행하며, 공유면 및 접촉 공유면의 연속 구속 조건을 처리하기 위하여 벌칙 함수 기법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 재료 및 경계 비선형성은 일부 부영역과 접촉 경계면에서 계산되는 유한요소 행렬에 국한된다. 수치 실험을 통하여 적응성 해석 알고리듬의 기본적인 특성과 효율성 향상에 대하여 분석하였다.

열탄성 부영역, 열탄점소성/손상 부영역, 공유면, 접촉 공유면에 기반을 둔 영역/경계 분할법을 적용하여 재료 비선형성을 갖는 열탄점소성 손상 문제와 경계 비선형성을 갖는 접촉 문제의 효율적인 해석을 제안하였다. 영역 및 경계 분할에 관련된 공유면 및 접촉 공유면에서의 연속 구속 조건을 처리하기 위하여 간단한 벌칙 함수 기법을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 재료 및 경계 비선형성은 소수의 부영역과 접촉 경계면에서 계산되는 유한요소 행렬들에 국한된다. 따라서 적절한 해석 알고리듬을 구성하면 대폭적인 효율성 향상이 가능하게 된다. 대변형과 같은 기하학적 비선형성은 고려하지 않았으며, 간단한 수치 실험을 통해서 열탄점소성 손상 및 접촉 해석의 효율성에 관련된 기본적인 특성을 분석하였다.

This paper is concerned with developing a finite element model incorporating boundary damper techniques which is applicable to the prediction of wave agitations in harbors. Based on the linear wave theory, a mild-slope equation is used. In order to consider the wave energy dissipations on solid boundary. the partial reflecting boundary condition is introduced. Radiating boundary condition is modeled by using tile second-order boundary damper developed by Bando et al. (1984). The near field region in harbor is discretized using 8-noded isoparametric elements, the boundary conditions are presented using 3-noded line elements. The numerical model is applied to a fully open rectangular harbor to prove its validity. Numerical experiments are also performed to investigate the effects of the wave reflection coefficients of solid boundary and the types of the dampers.

This paper focuses on a boundary surface based ray casting. In general the boundary surface based ray casting is processed in two stages. The first stage finds boundary surfaces and stores them into buffers. The second stage calculates a distance from a viewpoint to the voxels of the interested area by projecting boundary surfaces on the view plane, and then starts to traverse a volume data space with the distance. Our approach differs from the general boundary surface based ray casting in processing the first stage of it. Contrast to the typical boundary surface based ray casting where all boundary surfaces of volume data are stored into buffers, they are projected on the planes aligned to the axis of volume data coordinates and these projected data are stored into 6 buffers. Such maneuver shortens time for ray casting, and reduces memory usage because it can be carried out independently from the amount of the volume data.

A new boundary treatment technique which can be applied to axi-symmetric topography with inclined bottom was developed. Although the finite element method is good for complex geometry, there is no proper boundary treatment when a boundary is not a vertical section because the water depth at the coastline becomes zero. In this study, we developed a new boundary treatment for inclined bottom using the analytical solution for long wave. To develope a model, the mild-slope equation was used and then, a computational domain is divided into an analytical region and a numerical region. By combining a numerical and an analytical solutions, a complete solution was obtained. The developed solution was validated by comparing with a previous analytical solution.

A domain/boundary decomposition method is applied for efficient analyses of thermo-elasto-viscoplastic damage and contact problems under the assumption of infinitesimal deformation. For the decomposition of a whole domain and contact boundaries, all the equality constraints on the interface and contact interfaces are restated with simple penalty functional. Therefore, the non-linearity of the problem is localized within finite element matrices in a few subdomains and on contact interfaces. By setting up suitable solution algorithms, the computational efficiency can be improved considerably. The general tendency of the computational efficiency is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

A domain/boundary decomposition technique is applied to carry out efficient finite element analyses of 3-D contact problems. Appropriate penalty functions are selected for connecting an interface and contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity constraints. As a consequence, all the effective stiffness matrices have positive definiteness, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. If necessary, any complex-shaped 3-D domain can be divided into several simple-shaped subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. With a set of numerical examples, the basic characteristics of computational efficiency are investigated carefully.
