The porous media of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is made of deformable materials. The shape of cross sectional area in air plate channels has been changed by structural deformation of the porous media. The uniform mass flow rate and pressure are major factors for safe and efficient operation in the PEMFC. Two kinds of models are provided for the flow analyses. Deformable and undeformable porous media are considered for numerical analysis and experiment of the air plate model. The numerical flow analysis results with deformable and undeformable porous media has some discrepancy in pressure distribution. The pressure differences are measured in order to compare with numerical analysis results. Pressures are measured between inlet and outlet of the air plate. The numerical analysis and experimental results show similar pressure distribution. It is shown that the pressure drops in the two approaches are well matched each other. It is proven that the consideration of structural deformation is required in the numerical analysis/experiment for the PEMFC design.

Traditional oil, a depleting resource, accounts for only one-third of the world's oil reserves, so research and cases of utilizing non-traditional oil as a resource are continuously increasing. However, unconventional oil contains bitumen containing solid particles such as sand, and because it is exposed to a high temperature and high pressure environment, deformation can frequently occur in oil pipelines. Therefore, variables such as material, thickness, and angle that can affect the deformation of the oil pipeline were derived and applied to the oil pipeline, and finite element analysis was performed using the Ansys program. As a result of finite element analysis, deformation and maximum load capacity were derived. Afterwards, the same analysis was performed by modeling an optimized oil pipeline by combining the factors with the best deformation resistance and maximum load capacity. As a result of the analysis, the effect of reducing deformation and increasing the maximum load capacity by about 30 % was confirmed, and factors for suppressing deformation when analyzing oil pipelines were derived.

일반적으로 힘 제어는 힘 센서의 사용 여부에 따라 능동적 힘 제어와 피동적 힘 제어로 분류시킬 수 있다. 능동적 힘 제어는 힘 세서를 이용하여 구속력을 목표한 힘에 근접하도록 제어한다. 유연 매니퓨레이터의 함수(위치, 속도, 가속도)를 이용하여 일정한 힘에 근접하도록 제어한다. 유연 매티퓨레이터에 있어서 링크 선단의 강성 증대는 힘 제어뿐만이 아니라, 링크의 진동을 크게 유발함으로서 위치 제어에 불리하게 작용한다. 주로 사용되고 있는 힘 센서는 많은 변형 게이지(strain gauge)로 구성되어 있다. 유연 매니퓨레이터 또한 링크 선단의 변형을 측정하기 위해 변형 게이지를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이점에 착안하여, 유연 매니퓨레이터의 선단의 탄성 변형을 측정하기 위해 장착한 변형 게이지를 이용한 위치/힘 제어를 제안한다. 먼저, 유연 매니퓨레이터의 집중 정수 모델로부터 링크의 탄성 변형과 구속력 관계를 도출한 후 이 관계를 이용하여 3차원 실험 유연 매니퓨레이터를 실시간 위치/힘 제어 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 범용 동력학 해석 소프트웨어인 ADAMS FEM 을 이용하여 해석하였다. 마지막으로, 실험 결과와 해석 결과를 비교 분석하여 본 논문에서 제안한 유연 매니퓨레이터의 위치/힘 제어의 타당성을 입증시켰다.

Using holographic interferometry, strain distributions for a cantilever beam subjected to the eccentric force can be analysed. Holographic fringe pattern shows inclined straight lines for the composite deformation of bending and torsion. Using these inclinations of the fringe pattern, 3rd order polynomial of plane displacements can be determined without difficulty. As the result, both of axial and shear strain distribution can be obtained from the second partial derivatives of this polynomial. These results agree well with FEM.

Contrary to an intact rock, the jointed rock mass shows strain-dependent deformation characteristics (elastic modulus and damping ratio). The maximum elastic modulus of a rock mass can be obtained from an elastic wave-based exploration in a small strain level and applied to seismic analyses. However, the assessment and application of the non-linear characteristics of rock masses in a small to medium strain level ($10^{-4}{\sim}0.5%$) have not been carried out yet. A non-linear dynamic analysis module is newly developed for FLAC3D to simulate strain-dependent shear modulus degradation and damping ratio amplification characteristics. The developed module is verified by analyzing the change of the Ricker wave propagation. Strain-dependent non-linear characteristics are obtained from disks of cored samples using a rock mass dynamic testing apparatus which can evaluate wave propagation characteristics in a jointed rock column. Using the experimental results and the developed non-linear dynamic module, seismic analyses are performed for the intersection of a shaft and an inclined tunnel. The numerical results show that vertical and horizontal displacements of non-linear analyses are larger than those of linear analyses. Also, non-linear analyses induce bigger bending compressive stresses acting on the lining. The bending compressive stress concentrates at the intersection part. The fundamental understanding of a strain-dependent jointed rock mass behavior is achieved in this study and the analytical procedure suggested can be effectively applied to field designs and analyses.

The composite sandwich plate is constructed by combining two laminated facings with high strength and a thick core of light weight material. The governing equations for the analysis of bending of simply supported sandwich plates with laminated facings are derived and analysed using the analytical method including the local shear deformations. The accuracy of the approach is ascertained by comparing solutions from the sandwich plate theory with composite facings to the laminate plate theory. Since the present analysis considers the bending stiffness of the core and also the transverse shear deformations of the laminated facings, it is expected that the analysis is capable to analyze the general anisotropic laminated plates with global shear deformations.

For the safe seismic design of buildings, it is necessary to predict the plastic deformation demands of the members as well as the story drift ratio. In the present study, a simple method of estimating the beam plastic rotation was developed for special-moment-resisting steel frame structures designed with strong column-weak beam behavior. The proposed method uses elastic analysis rather than nonlinear analysis, which is difficult to use in practice. The beam plastic rotation was directly calculated based on the results of the elastic analysis, addressing the moment redistribution, the column and joint dimensions, the movement of the plastic hinge, the panel zone deformation, the gravity load, and the strain-hardening behavior. In addition, the rocking effect of the braced frame or core wall on the beam plastic rotation was addressed. For verification, the proposed method was applied to a six-story special-moment frame designed with strong column-weak beam behavior. The predicted plastic rotations of the beams were compared with those that were determined via nonlinear analysis. The beam plastic rotations that were predicted using the proposed method correlated well with those that were determined from the nonlinear pushover analysis.

Generally, the repeated traffic loading condition should be considered to predict the long-term deformation on road foundations or foundation systems. However, it is not easy to estimate long-term deformation on multi-layered system like roads and railways. For more quantitative analysis, mechanistic-empirical approach requires proper analytical tool, material's model, and material properties of foundation geomaterials under both traffic and environmental loadings. In this study, therefore, laboratory data from the long-term repeated load triaxial tests were used to predict accumulated deformation on pavement foundations and the results were analyzed based on the nonlinear models and stress state considered. All these results are presented and verified on laboratory based scale using the finite element analysis with the deformation characteristics of foundation geomaterials at various stress states.

이 논문의 목적은 축대칭 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 탱크의 시간의존성 유한요소해석법을 제안하는 것이다. 오늘날 PC구조물은 교량, 포장판, 해상구조물, 원자로 격납구조물, 대규모 액체저장용 탱크 등 여러 형태의 구조물에서 그 사용 예를 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있다. 특히 본 논문에서 고려하고자 하는 압력창기나 액체 저장용 탱크의 경우 유체압력 등의 내부압력에 의해 발생하는 균열은 프리 스트레스를 도입함으로써 매우 효과적으로 제어할 수 있기 때문에 상당히 유리한 구조형식이 된다. 그러니 이러한 구조물의 해석과 설계에 있어서 균열의 예측과 더불어 콘크리트의 크리이프, 건조수축 및 PC강재의 리락세이션 등과 같은 시간 의존성 변형으로 인한 프리스트래스의 손실, 여러 단계의 긴장력을 도입함으로써 발생하는 순간변형인 탄성단축 및 이로 인한 긴장력 감소 등을 정확히 계산하는 일은 매우 복잡하고 어려운 일이다. 본 논문에서는 크리이프, 건조수축 및 리락세이션 등과 같은 시간의존성 변형과 순차적으로 다단계의 프리스트레스 도입으로 인한 순간변형 및 탄성단축의 영향을 고려한 축대칭 PC 탱크 구조물의 시간에 따른 거동 및 긴장력의 변화를 유한요소법을 적용하여 해석할 수 있는 해법체계를 정리하고 이를 전산 프로그램화하여, 축대칭 PC탱크 구조물의 시간 의존성 거동에 대한 보다 정밀한 해석을 수행하였다.
