An enormous amount of efforts has been devoted to the development of finite elements for the bending problem of thick plates, especially based on Mindlin plate theory. Here, an approximate Constant Shear Angle Theory is usually used to take a transverse shear deformation of thick plate into consideration, which cannot be effectively considered the influence of transversal warping of cross-section with an increase of thickness. It might be the best way to represent the exact cross-sectional warping of the plate. The overall objective of this study is to develop a new formulation of plate including shear deformation and transversal warping, to perform extensive parametric studies comparing its results with those from Mindlin plate formulation, and to gain further insight into the influence of shear deformation and transversal warping of thick plate.

Recently, development of a small aircraft has been carried out for the BASA(Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement) program in Korea. This aircraft adopted all composite structures for environmental friendly by low fuel consumption due to its lightness behavior. However the composite structure has disadvantage which is very weak against impact damages. Therefore, damage allowable design of aircraft structure must be performed considering compressive fracture strength. This point is very important for certification of composite structure aircraft. In this paper, it is performed the research on damage tolerance of thick laminate adopting aircraft structure. The damage tolerance of three different types of thick laminates such as no damage, open hole and impact damage is evaluated under compression loading.

In this paper, the design of thick laminated composite plate subjected to thermal buckling load under uniform temperature distribution is presented. In the design procedures of composite laminated plates for maximum thermal buckling load. the finite element method based on shear deformed theory is used for the analysis or laminated plates. One-demensional search method is used to find optimal fiber orientation and, in the next step, optimal thickness is investigated. Design variables such as fiber orientation and ply thicknesses coefficient of plates are adopted. The optimal design for the symmetric or antisymmetric laminated plates consisted of 4 layers with maximum thermal buckling load is performed.

An enhanced four-node plate element, which has been developed for explicit dynamic analysis of plate, is described in this paper. Reissner-Mind1in(RM) assumptions are adopted to consider transverse shear deformation effects in the present plate element. RM plate element produces a shear locking phenomena in thin plate so that the substitute natural strains based on assumed strain method are explicitly derived. The present plate element is applied into the explicit transient algorithm and the mass matrix of plate is formulated by using special lumping method proposed by Hinton et al. The performance of the element is verified with numerical examples.

각광 받는 구조재료인 섬유강화 복합적층재에 대한 기계적 체결 거동은 본질적인 재료의 이방성에 의해서 파단강도가 파단 모우드와 매우 밀접한 관련을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 복합적층판 체결부의 정밀 구조 설계에서는 단순화에 따른 오차를 줄이고 정밀해에 의한 설계 및 해석이 요청된다. 특히, 층간응력 성분을 무시할 수 없는 두께를 갖는 복합적층 판의 기계적 체결부 해석이나 실제 구조물의 체결부에서 발생하는 굽힘이나 비틀림과 같은 하중 상태를 묘사하기 위해서도 정밀한 3차원 응력 해석은 필요하다. 하지만, 지금까지 기계적 체결부의 거동에 관한 연구는 층간응력 성분들을 어느정도 무시할 수 있는 얇은 평판에 대한 2차원 응력해석에 주로 국한되어 왔으며, 일부 수행된 체결부에 대한 3차원 응력 해석의 경우 여러 단점을 갖는 3차원 연속체 요소에 의한 유한요소 해석이 수행되었을 뿐이다.본 연구는 층간응력 성분들을 무시할 수 없는 두께를 갖는 복합적층판의 기계적 체결부 해석에 지금까지 사용되어온 3차원 연속체 요소에 의한 유한요소 방법이 갖는 단점들을 개선한 Layerwise 유한요소법을 이용하여 3차원 응력해석을 수행하였다. 특히, 선형상보성원리에 근거한 최적설계 기법을 응용하여, 기계적 체결시 핀과 적층판의 홀 사이에 발생하는 하중 전달 과정을 모사하고, 접촉력에 의한 홀 주위의 복잡하고 국부적인 응력 집중현상을 규명하여본다.

The new p-version crack model is proposed to estimate the stress intensity factors of the thick cracked plate under flexure. The proposed model is based on high order theory and $C^{\circ}$-plate element including shear deformation. The displacements fields are defined by integrals of Legendre polynomials which can be classified into three groups such as basic mode, side mode and internal mode. The computer implementation allows arbitrary variations of p-level Up to a maximum value of 10. The stress intensity factors are computed by virtual crack extention approach. The effects of ratios of thickness to crack length(h/a), crack length to width(a/W) and boundary conditions are investigated. Very good agreement with the existing solution in the literature are shown for the uncracked plate as well as the cracked plate.

복합재료가 점차 최근에 항공기에서 이차적인 구조요소에서 일차적으로 힘을 받는 구조물에 사 용됨으로써 두꺼운 복합재료 구조판과 셸의 정확한 동적, 정적거동을 예측하는 것이 중요한 문 제가 되었다. 특히 전산구조역학의 한 분야로서 복합재료 적층판의 문제는 inhomogeneity와 anisotropy 문제를 가지고 있어서 복잡하며 일차구조 (primary structrue)에서는 100장-200장의 적층도 드물지 않게 볼 수 있어서 정확한 계산을 위해서는 방대한 기억용량과 빠른 계산속도를 요구한다. 그러므로 복합재료 적층판의 거동을 정확하고 값싸고 빠르게 계산할 수 있는 이론과 수치방법의 개발이 중요한 문제이다. 이 문제는 E. Reissner, R. K. Kapania & S. Raciti, A. K. Noor & W. S., Burton, L. Librescu & J. N. Reddy, J. N. Reddy 등에 의해서 review가 행하 여졌고 이 분야의 모든 paper들의 비교적 현재까지 연구동향을 잘 묘사하고 있다. 여러 review paper들이 시간흐름상으로 여러 연구들을 잘 정리하고 있으므로 이 글에서는 논문들을 다시 review하는 것이 아니라 지난 20여 년간 이 분야에서 계속되어 온 연구중 주요한 것을 고찰하고 소개하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다.

In this study, a usefulness of the iterative solution procedures is reviewed for the elasto-plastic large deflection analysis of imperfect plates by finite element method. Three typical solution techniques such as simple incremental(SI) method, Newton-Raphson(NR) method and modified Newton-Raphson (mNR) method are compared. It is concluded that for thin plates which are given rise to the large deflection, iteration for the convergence of the unbalance force should be performed and in this case mNR method is more useful than NR method since the computing time of the former becomes to be a half of the latter, in which the accuracy of the result remains same. For thick plates or thin plates with large initial deflection, however, the use of SI method is quite better since the unbalance force may be negligible.

This paper presents the subparametric finite element model formulated by partial-linear layerwise theory for the analysis of laminate composites. The proposed model is based on refined approximations of two dimensional plane for orthotropic thick laminate plate as well as thin case. Three dimensional problem can be reduced to two dimensional case by assuming piecewise linear variation of in-plane displacement and a constant value of out-of-plane displacement across the thickness. The integrals of Legendre polynomials are chosen to define displacement fields and Gauss-Lobatto numerical integration is implemented in order to directly obtain maximum values occurred at the nodal points of each layer without other extrapolation techniques. The validity and characteristics of the proposed model have been tested by using orthotropic multilayered plate problem as compared to the values available in the published references. In this study, the convergence test has been carried out to determine the optimal layer model in terms of central deflection and stresses. Also, the distribution of displacements and stresses across the thickness has been investigated as the number of layer is increased.
