In this paper, to examine the propagation of inclined surface crack due to frictional heating, analytic model is considered as the semi-infinite elastic body subjected to the thermo-mechanical loading of an asperity moving with a high speed. Considering the moving of frictional heat source and convection on a semi-infinite surface having inclined crack, theoretical analysis was carried out to estimate the propagation characteristics of thermo-mechanical crack. Numerical results showed that stress intensity factor $K_\prod/P_0\sqrt{c}$ is increasing with increasing velocity and frictional coefficient, inclined degree, decreasing crack length and the maximum value of it is positioned at the trailing edge. So it is shown that the propagation probability of surface crack is high at the trailing edge of contact area as increasing velocity and frictional coefficient, inclined degree, as decreasing crack length.

As the construction of nuclear power plants are increased, nuclear wastes disposal has been faced as a serious problem. If nuclear wastes are to be buried in the underground stratum, thermo-mechanical behavior of stratum must be analyzed, because high temperature distribution has a significant effect on tunnel and surrounding stratum. In this study, in order to analyze the structural behavior of the underground which is subject to concentrated heat sources, a coupling method of nonlinear finite elements and linear boundary elements is proposed. The nonlinear finite elements (NFE) are applied in the vicinity of nuclear depository where thermo-mechanical stress is concentrated. The boundary elements are also used in infinite domain where linear behavior is expected. Using the similar method as for the problem in mechanical field, the coupled nonlinear finite element-boundary element (NFEBE) is developed. It is found that NFEBE method is more efficient than NFE which considers nonlinearity in the whole domain for the nuclear wastes depository that is expected to exhibit local nonlinearity behavior. The effect of coefficients of the rock mass such as Poisson's ratio, elastic modulus, thermal diffusivity and thermal expansion coefficient is investigated through the developed method. As a result, it is revealed that the displacements around tunnel are largely dependent on the thermal expansion coefficients.

There exist two difficulties in the nonlinear wave-body problems. First is the abrupt behavior near the intersection point between the body and the free surface, and second is the far field treatment. In this paper, the far field treatment is considered. The main idea is the Taylor series expansion of free-surface geometry and the application of F.F.T. algorithm. The numerical step is as follows. The velocity potential is expressed by the Green's theorem. and the solution is obtained by iteration method. In the iteration stage, the expressions by the Green's theorem are transformed to the convolution forts with the expansion of free surface by the wave slope. Here F.F.T. is applied, so the computing time can be of O(Nlog N) where N is the number of unknowns. The numerical analysis is carried out and the results are compared with other results in linear floating body problem and nonlinear moving pressure patch problem, and good agreements are obtained. Finally nonlinear floating body radiation problem is carried out with computing time of O(Nlog N).

Calculation of elastic wave fields has important applications in a variety of engineering fields including NDE (Non-destructive evaluation). Scattering problems have been investigated by numerous authors with different solution schemes. For simple geometries of the scatterers (e.g., cylinders or spheres), the analysis of steady-state elastic wave scattering has been carried out using analytical techniques. For arbitrary geometries and multiple inclusions, numerical methods have been developed. Special finite element methods, e.g., the infinite element method and a hybrid method called the Global-Local finite element method have also been developed for this purpose. Recently, the boundary integral equation method has been used successfully to solve scattering problems. In this paper, a volume integral equation method (VIEM) is proposed as a new numerical solution scheme for the solution of general elasto-dynamic problems in unbounded solids containing multiple inclusions and voids or cracks. A boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is also presented for elastic wave scattering problems. The relative advantage of the volume and boundary integral equation methods for solving scattering problems is discussed.

The existing analytical expression for the voltage between the power and ground plane consist of metal-dielectric-metal board is expressed in the two dimensional infinite series. To reduce the computation time, the two dimensional infinite series is converted to the one dimensional infinite series using the summation formula of Fourier series. We applied these equations to the analysis of voltage between the $9‘{\times}4'$ size power-ground plane. The derived one dimensional infinite series shows the more rapid convergency and the more accurate result than the two dimensional infinite series. This equation can be applied to the power-ground plane analysis which needs a lot of the repeating computation.

지반-기초 상호작용계를 해석할 때 실제로 지반은 다양한 지반종류와 다층으로 형성되어 있으므로 지반 특성의 변화를 고려해야 한다. 초기의 대부분의 상호작용계의 정·동적 해석은 지반의 복잡한 성질을 역학적으로 탄성거동을 한다고 가정한 Winkler 지반모델 혹은 지반을 등방성이고 균질한 반무한 탄성체로 가정한 반무한 탄성지반 모델로 보아 수행되었다. 본 연구는 유한 요소법을 이용하여 지반-기초 상호작용계의 동적 거동을 해석하기 위해 기초는 4절점 후판요소를 사용하고 지반은 지반특성을 고려할 수 있도록 8절점 6면체 요소를 사용하였고, 지반의 감쇠효과 및 지반특성을 고려한 지반-기초 상호작용계의 동적 거동을 유한요소법으로 해석하고 지반의 영향범위를 결정하는 것이다.

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.

기존 대부분의 진동제어법이 모드제어에 근거한 것인데 반면, 본 연구에서는 진동억제의 또다른 방법인 파동제어기법을 다루었다. 무반사조건을 만족하면서 진동에너지를 흡수하는 파동제어는 특히 1차원 구조계에 유용하게 사용될수 있으리라고 기대되는데, 현실적으론 제어알고리즘의 실현화에 그 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 근사화된 무한구조계를 계산기내에 구축하여, 진동에너지가 근사 무한구조계에 흡수되는 조건을 제어기가 실현하는 제어수법을 개발하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여, 본 연구에서 제안한 파동제어기법에 의해 이동하는 현수체의 진동억제가 효율적으로 이루어짐을 확인할 수가 있었다.

In general, dose rates for a monoenergetic gamma emitter uniformly distributed in an infinite cloud have been calulated by using the monoenergetic point-isotorpic source kernel technique. The most serious limitation on use of the kernel technique is subjected to the fact that it estimates the dose only at the surface of body. As a result, an alternative method is presented in which estimates of dose rate for immersion in a radioactive cloud are resulted from the scattered photon spectra incident on the surface of body. The results are in excellent agreement with other's. Work is currently in progress to apply these results to immersion dose problems associated with absorbed dose distribution in the MIRD phatom.

The design method of a wave absorber for a perfectly conducting sphere is presented. The backscattered field from a coated sphere can be represented as the sum of the reflected field and the creeping wave. The wave absorber for a curved surface has been designed from that the reflection coefficient of the reflected field is zero. For the design of wave absorber for a small sized conducting sphere, the creeping wave should be considered as well as the reflected field. The perfect absorbing conditions are numerically searched using the Newton-Raphson method from the backscattered field of the eigenfunction series solution from a coated sphere. The wave absorber designed by this method exhibits a superior performance of absorption to that designed from the plate type absorbing condition.
