Graded layers in which two different constituent particles are mixed are inserted into functionally graded material such that the volume fractions of constituent particles vary continuously and functionally over the entire material domain. The material properties of this dual-phase graded region, which is essential for the numerical analysis of the thermo-mechanical behavior of FGM, have been predicted by traditional homogenization methods. But, these methods are limited to predict the global equivalent material properties of FGMs because the detailed geometry information such as the particel shape and the dispersion structure is not considered. In this context, this study intends to investigate the characteristics of these homogenization methods through the finite element analysis utilizing the discrete micromechanics models of the graded layer, for various volume fractions and external loading conditions.

In this study, a molecular dynamics simulation study was performed to investigate the size-dependent electroelastic properties of single-walled boron nitride nanotubes(BNNT). To describe the elasticity and polarization of BNNT under mechanical loading, the Tersoff potential model and rigid ion approximation were adopted. For the prediction of piezoelectric constants and Young's modulus of BNNTs, piezoelectric constitutive equations based on the Maxwell's equation were used to calculate the strain-electric displacement and strain-stress relationships. It was found that the piezoelectric constants of BNNTs gradually decreases as the radius of the tubes increases showing a nonnegligible size effect. On the other hand, the elastic constants of the BNNTs showed opposites trends according to the equivalent geometrical assumption of the tubular structures. To establish the structure-property relationships, localized configurational change of the primarily bonded B-N bonded topology was investigated in detail to elucidate the BNNT curvature dependent elasticity.

Automotive three-way catalyst substrate has a cordierite ceramic honeycomb structure. The substrate in the high engine speed range doesn't satisfy the design fatigue life due to the low mechanical properties of cordierite ceramic. SiC ceramic has higher mechanical properties than cordierite ceramic. If the automotive three-way catalyst substrate is made from the SiC ceramic honeycomb structure, the substrate can be prevented from premature failure. In this study, the mechanical properties of SiC ceramic honeycomb substrate were estimated by FEA. The FEA results indicated that the MOR and elastic modulus for the SiC ceramic honeycomb substrate was much higher than those for the cordierite ceramic honeycomb substrate.

This paper describes the implementation of rock mass rating evaluation based on genetic algorithm(GA) and conditional simulation technique to estimate RMR in the area without sufficient borehole data RMR were estimated by GA and conditional simulation technique with reflecting distribution feature and spatial correlation. And RMR determined by GA were compared with the results from kriging. Through the analysis of the results from 30 simulations, the uncertainty of estimation could be quantified.

본 논문에서는 불균질 재료의 균열진전을 해석하기 위한 방법으로 변절점 유한요소를 이용한 멀티스케일 기법을 제시하였다. 효율적인 해석을 위하여 서로 다른 스케일의 요소망을 적용하여 전체 모델의 자유도를 감소시킨다. 균열선단과 비교적 멀리 떨어져 있는 영역은 균질화 기법을 도입하여 불균질 재료에 대한 등가물성을 갖는 성긴 요소망으로 대체하고, 균열선단 주변의 요소망은 재료의 기하학적 특성과 불균질성을 반영하도록 조밀하게 구성한다. 한편 균열선단에 존재하는 응력 특이성을 표현하기 위하여 균열선단을 포함한 요소를 더욱 조밀한 요소망으로 분할하여 구성한다. 여기에서 서로 다른 스케일의 요소망 경계에는 변절점 유한요소를 적용함으로써 경계에서의 절점 연결조건과 적합성을 만족시킬 수 있다. 제시한 멀티스케일 기법을 수치예제에 적용함으로써 정확성과 효율성을 검증하였으며, 특히 불균질 성분이 균열진전에 미치는 영향을 경계조건과 T-응력의 관점에서 분석하였다.

Impedance matching characteristics of planar type inductively coupled plasma sources are investigated utilizing the previously reported two-dimensional theory[1] of the anomalous skin effect. Two types of matching networks are considered, and the values of the circuit elements are expressed as functions of various reactor parameter. Also, two cases of perfect and imperfect matching conditions are considered and the functional dependence of the values of matching capacitance and reflection coefficient on the various reactor parameters are investigated using the present circuit model.

Effective properties of ceramic matrix plain woven textile composites were calculated using finite element analysis. The considered geometry is a unit cell of plain weave and the analysis was performed by commercial finite element program, ANSYS. The materials for analysis are 3 types for matrix, 1 type for fiber with various volume fraction. The result indicates that the effective properties of ceramic matrix composites can be controlled by the volume fraction. The result can be used for numerical analysis using ceramic matrix composites.

최근에는 항공기의 임무 형태나 주위 환경에 따라 변할 수 있는 passive morphing airfoil에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 복잡한 모델링, 실험 과정 및 긴 해석 시간 때문에 아직 여러 chiral 구조를 체계적으로 비교하지 못 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 chiral meso structure 중 하나인 Anti-Tetra Chiral 구조를 Hooke's law에 기반을 두어 등가 물성치를 구해보고, 사각형 모양의 연속체 요소로 등가 모델링을 하였다. 그 후, airfoil 내부에 연속체 요소를 직접 적용하여 실제 모델링한 경우와 비교해 본 결과 경향성 파악에 충분한 오차 범위를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 통해 여러종류의 Chiral meso structure과 기하학적 변수를 적용한 에어포일을 효율적으로 해석할 수 있음을 제시할 수 있다.

A new continuum damage theory (CDT) has been proposed by Lee et al. (1996) based on the SEEP. The CDT has the apparent advantage over the other related theories because the complete constitutive law can be readily derived by simply replacing the virgin elastic stiffness with the effective orthotropic elastic stiffness obtained by using the proposed continuum damage theory. In this paper, the CDT is evaluated by the numerical experiment comparing the mode shapes and natural frequencies of a square plate containing a small line-through crack with those of the same plate with a damaged site replaced with the effective orthotropic elastic stiffness computed by using the CDT.
