본 연구에서는 분자동역학 전산모사와 미시역학 모델을 이용하여 나노입자의 크기와 체적분율 변화가 나노복합재의 물성변화에 미치는 영향을 효과적으로 묘사할 수 있는 순차적 브리징 해석기법을 개발하였다. 나노 입자의 크기변화와 체적분율 변화에 따른 영률과 전단계수를 분자동역학 전산모사를 통해 예측한 후, 이를 연속체 모델에서 구현하기 위해 다중입자 모델을 적용하였다. 나노입자의 크기효과를 반영하기 위해 입자와 기지 사이에 유효계면을 추가적인 상으로 도입하였고, 체적분율 효과는 나노복합재를 둘러싸는 무한영역의 물성값을 통해 조절되도록 하였다. 유효계면과 무한영역의 물성을 입자의 반경과 체적분율의 함수로 근사한 후, 다양한 입자의 크기와 체적분율에서 나타나는 나노복합재의 물성변화를 예측하였다. 제안된 해석기법의 적용을 통해 분자동역학 전산모사 결과와 잘 일치하는 예측해를 효과적으로 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 표면효과와 비선형 탄성효과를 고려한 FCC 나노박막의 순차적 멀티스케일 해석 모델을 제시한다. 표면에서의 구성방정식은 표면응력과 표면탄성계수를 이용하여 선형으로 표시되며, 표면효과를 나타내기 위한 표면물성들은 EAM 포텐셜을 이용한 원자적 계산 방법으로 계산된다. 두께가 얇은 나노박막은 표면응력으로 인하여 면내 방향으로 수축 또는 인장의 변형이 발생하게 된다. 나노박막의 평형상태에서의 변형율은 두께가 얇은 박막의 경우 재료가 선형 탄성 영역을 벗어나는 값을 가지는 경우가 많으므로 나노박막의 해석시 벌크 영역의 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려해야 한다. 이러한 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려하기 위해 본 연구에서는 FCC 구조를 가지는 금속의 비선형 탄성 모델을 제시하고, EAM 포텐셜로 계산된 응력과 탄성 계수를 이용하여 매칭 기법을 통하여 비선형 탄성 모델의 계수들을 결정한다. 또한 Cauchy-Born Rule 모델과 분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 비선형 탄성 모델에 대한 검증을 수행한다.

It is shown that the multiscale prewhitening matched filter for detecting Gaussian objects in Markov noise can be implemented by the undecimated wavelet transform with a biorthogonal spline wavelet. If the object to be detected is Gaussian shaped and its scale coincides with one of those computed by the wavelet transform, and if the background noise is truly Markov, then optimum detection is realized by thresholding the appropriate details image. Our detection algorithm is applied to the digitized mammograms for detecting microcalcifications. However, microcalcifications are not exactly Gaussian shaped and its background noise may not be Markov. In order to campensate for these discrepancy, Hotelling observer is employed, which is applied to feature vectors comprised of 3-octave wavelet coefficients.

In this paper, a multi-scale finite element (FE) modeling methodology for three-dimensional (3D) needle-punched (NP) C/SiC with a complex microstructure is presented. The variations of the material properties induced by the needle-punching process and complex geometrical features could pose challenges when estimating the material behavior. For considering these features of composites, a 3D microscopic FE approach is introduced based on micro-CT technology to produce a 3D high fidelity FE model. The image processing techniques of micro-CT are utilized to generate discrete-gray images and reconstruct the high fidelity model. Furthermore, a subcell modeling technique is developed for the 3D NP C/SiC based on the high fidelity FE model to expand to the macro-scale structural problem. A numerical homogenization approach under periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) is employed to estimate the equivalent behavior of the high fidelity model and effective properties of subcell components, considering geometry continuity effects. For verification, proposed models compare excellently with experimental results for the mechanical behavior of tensile, shear, and bending under static loading conditions.

In this study, a sequential multiscale homogenization method to characterize the effective thermal conductivity of nano particulate polymer nanocomposites is proposed through a molecular dynamics(MD) simulations and a finite element-based homogenization method. The thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites embedding different-sized nanoparticles at a fixed volume fraction of 5.8% are obtained from MD simulations. Due to the Kapitza thermal resistance, the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites decreases as the size of the embedded nanoparticle decreases. In order to describe the nanoparticle size effect using the homogenization method with accuracy, the Kapitza interface in which the temperature discontinuity condition appears and the effective interphase zone formed by highly densified matrix polymer are modeled as independent phases that constitutes the nanocomposites microstructure, thus, the overall nanocomposites domain is modeled as a four-phase structure consists of the nanoparticle, Kapitza interface, effective interphase, and polymer matrix. The thermal conductivity of the effective interphase is inversely predicted from the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites through the multiscale homogenization method, then, exponentially fitted to a function of the particle radius. Using the multiscale homogenization method, the thermal conductivities of the nanocomposites at various particle radii and volume fractions are obtained, and parametric studies are conducted to examine the effect of the effective interphase on the overall thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites.

Photo responsive polymer(PRP) is well known for its photo deformation under UV light, and goes back to its original shape in visible light due to the photoisomerization of the azobenzene inside the PRP. In this paper, dynamic study of the vibration in PRP is discussed. In order to predict photo-deformation of the PRP a multiscale modeling is introduced which covers quantum level photo excitation, microscopic morphology, and macroscopic deformation of the PRP. A simple 1D beam model is introduced to model dynamic bending behavior of the PRP. Through fast Fourious transformation analysis, we identify that vibration frequency of the PRP can be controlled by light polarization angle.

Recently, an approach for nanoscale deformation has been developed that couples the atomistic and continuum approaches using Finite Element Method (FEM) and Molecular Dynamics (MD). However, this approach still has problems to connect two approaches because of the difference of basic assumptions, continuum and atomistic. To solve this problem, an alternative way is developed that connects the quasimolecular dynamics (QMD) and molecular dynamics (MD). In this paper, we suggest the way to make and validate the MD-QMD coupled model.

The objective of the present research is to develop a wavelet-based multiscale adaptive Galerkin method for membrane eigenvalue analysis. Since approximate eigensolutions at a certain resolution level can be good guesses, which play an important role in typical iterative solvers, at the next resolution level, the multiresolution iterative solution approach by wavelets can improve the solutionconvergence rate substantially. The intrinsic difference checking nature of wavelets can be also utilized effectively to develop an adaptive strategy. The present wavelet-based approach will be implemented for the simplest vector iteration method, but some important aspects, such as convergence speedup, and the reduction in the number of nodes can be clearly demonstrated.

Since the multiscale wavelet-based numerical methods allow effective adaptive analysis, they have become new analysis tools. However, the main applications of these methods have been mainly on elliptic problems, they are rarely used for eigenvalue analysis. The objective of this paper is to develop a new multiscale wavelet-based adaptive Galerkin method for eigenvalue analysis. To this end, we employ the hat interpolation wavelets as the basis functions of the finite-dimensional trial function space and formulate a multiresolution analysis approach using the multiscale wavelet-Galerkin method. It is then shown that this multiresolution formulation makes iterative eigensolvers very efficient. The intrinsic difference-checking nature of wavelets is shown to play a critical role in the adaptive analysis. The effectiveness of the present approach will be examined in terms of the total numbers of required nodes and CPU times.

다공성 물질을 건조하거나 습한 환경에 노출시키면 열과 수분이 외부로 전달된다. 열 및 수분 전달로 인한 은도 및 습도의 변화는 물질 체적을 변화시켜 습열 응력을 유발시킨다 즉 다공성 제품의 품질은 외양뿐만 아니라 건조 공정 시의 온도, 수분함유량, 응력, 변형률 등의 공정변수에 크게 영향을 받는다. 최근까지도 다공성 물질의 생산 공정은 다수의 공정변수를 갖는 복합공정이기 때문에 이들의 영향을 정량적으로 평가하는 것은 매우 까다로워 현장 경험에 기초한 기술자의 노하우에 의존해 왔다.(중략)
