The aim of the current work is to characterise a piecewisely-integrated composite bumper beam based on the IIHS bumper crash protocol. IIHS bumper crash FE analysis for an aluminium type bumper beam was carried out to get the information about the dominant loading types at several regions in the bumper beam during crash. In the meantime, robust stacking sequences against tension and compression have been searched for using FE analysis of a coupon type model. After determining most effective stacking sequences for tension and compression, three-point bending simulation was preliminarily carried out to investigate the combination performance of them. Finally, IIHS bumper crash FE analysis for the piecewisely-integrated composite bumper beam, which consisted of the combination of tension effective stacking sequence and compression efficacious stacking sequence, was conducted and the result was compared with other types of composite bumper beams. It was found that the newly suggested piecewisely-integrated composite bumper beam showed superior crashworthy behaviour to those of uni-modal stacking sequence composite bumper beams.

This paper deals with anisotropic property and structural analysis for short fiber reinforced plastic composites manufactured by the injection molding process. The common approach for modeling this type of material is the consideration of the material as homogenous and isotropic. However, the common isotropy approach often results in unexpected failure. To overcome this, new structure analysis methodology was developed in order to consider fiber orientation effect using injection mold flow analysis and Halpin-Tsai equations for unidirectional composites and taking an orientation average. The numerical predictions are compared to experimental data for tensile specimen. The predicted mechanical properties agree well with experimental data for fiber orientation and weld line effect. The analysis system was also applied to an automobile part. The proposed anisotropic model predicted different mechanical properties by position of the part and different mechanical performance of the part was changed according to injection gate position.

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.

There is a concern with worldwide deterioration of highway bridges, particularly reinforced concrete. The advantages of fibre reinforced plastic(FRP) composites over conventional materials motivate their use in highway bridges for replacement of structures. Recently, an FRP deck has been installed on a state highway, located in New York State, as an experimental project. In this paper, a systematic approach for analysis of this FRP deck bridge is presented. Multi-step linear numerical analyses have been performed using the finite element method to study the structural behavior and the possible failure mechanism of the FRP deck-superstructure system. Deck's self-weight and ply orientations at the interface between steel girders and FRP deck are considered in this study. From this research, the results of the numerical analyses were corroborated with field test results. Analytical results reveal several potential failure mechanism for the FRP deck and truss bridge system. The results presented in this study may be used to propose engineering design guideline for new and replacement FRP bridge deck structure.

Type3 cylinder is a composite pressure vessel fully over-wrapped with carbon/epoxy composite layers over an aluminum liner, which is the most ideal and safe high pressure gas container for CNG vehicles due to the lightweight and the leakage-before-burst characteristics. During service in CNG vehicle, if a fiber cut damage occurs in outer composite layers, it can degrade structural performance, reducing cycling life from the original design life. In this study, finite element modeling and analysis technique for the composite cylinder with fiber-cut crack damage is presented. Because FE analysis of type3 cylinder is path dependant due to plastic deformation of aluminum liner in autofrettage process, method to introduce a crack into FE model affect analysis result. A crack should be introduced after autofrettage in analysis step considering real circumstances where crack occurs during usage in service. For realistic simulation of this situation, FE modeling and analysis technique introducing a crack in the middle of analysis step is presented and the results are compared with usual FE analysis which has initial crack in the model from the beginning of analysis. Proposed analysis technique can be used effectively in the evaluation of influence of damage on composite layers of type3 cylinder and establish inspection criteria of composite cylinder in service.

In this paper, an integrated probabilistic strength analysis was conducted to predict the reliability of a composite pressure vessel under inner pressure loading condition. As a probabilistic strength analysis, the probabilistic progressive failure model consisting of progressive failure model and Monte Carlo simulation was incorporated with a commercial FEA code, ABAQUS Standard, to perform the probabilistic failure analysis of composite structure which has a complex shape and boundary conditions. As design random variables, the laminar strengths of each direction were considered. Finally, from probabilistic strength analysis, the scattering of burst pressure could be explained and the reliability of composite pressure vessel could be obtained for each component. In case of composite structures in mass production, the effects of uncertainties in material and manufacturing on the performance of composite structures would apparently become larger. So, the probabilistic strength analysis is essential for the structural design of composite structures in mass production.

Recently, as aviation industry has been activated, development of software related to composite materials has been demanded. Composite analysis requires specialized structural analysis and test evaluation. Therefore, it is necessary to use existing commercial software to analyze the composite structure, but existing commercial software only provides limited functions. Especially, since there is no specialized software for corner structure analysis of aerospace composites spa structure, much human resources and time are consumed in structural analysis. In order to solve this problem, we developed a GUI-based automation software based on user-friendly GUI that reflects the existing corner structure analysis procedure and provides multiple breakdown criteria. To verify the reliability of the structural analysis results of the developed software, it was confirmed that there is no problem in the structural analysis performance as a result of comparing with the existing analysis results.

세라믹 복합재료의 크립 파괴거동의 근원이 되는 크립거동에 대한 해석은 현재까지 제시되어 있 는 것이 거의 전무하여, 세라믹 복합재료의 고온신뢰도는 실험에 의존되어 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 여기서는 해석방법으로 advanced shear-lag 모델을 기본으로 세라믹 복합재료 특성을 고려하여 모델링 해석을 제시하였다. 여러 영향 인자들-보강섬유 형상비, 보강섬유 끝단의 간격, 계면에서의 미끄름계수, 단위 모델안의 보강섬유 배열이 크립거동에 미치는 효과에 대해 인자 변화효과(parametric study)를 관찰하여 실험에 의해 얻은 SiCw/A1$_{2}$O$_{3}$의 크립 결 과와 비교하였다. 모델링 해석을 통해 얻은 특정범위 내의 결과는 실험결과를 수용할 수 있으 므로 이 해석방법을 세라믹 복합재료 크립거동의 한방법으로 이용할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

최고진공도 10-10 mbar, 배기속도 2500 L/s를 구현할 대용량 복합 분자펌프(TMP) 설계를 위한 3차원 유동해석을 실시하였다. 진공도가 10-5 mbar 이상이 되는 고진공도에서는 Knudsen 수가 102~107에 이르러 분자간 충돌을 거의 무시할 수 있게 되며, 이때의 유체해석 방법으로서는 통상 희박기체 해석법으로 많이 쓰이는 Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) 방법이나 Continuum fluid에 대한 Navier-Stokes 해석보다, 충돌이 없는 분자의 자유운동을 모사하는 Monte Carlo 방법이 더 적합할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다단계 rotor와 stator로 구성되는 복합분자 내 유동장에 Monte Carlo 해석법을 적용하여 유동해석을 실시하였다. 해석 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 동일한 형상에 대해 Navier-Stokes 해석과 DSMC 해석을 병행하였다. 각각의 수치적 해석에서 공통적으로, TMP의 성능에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 설계변수는 rotor-stator의 날개각임이 확인되었고, 이 설계변수들의 최적값을 다양한 3차원 유동해석을 통해 도출하였다. 해석결과는 펌프설계에 적용되어 펌프 성능시험결과를 통해 확증된다.

Integrated interpretation of multi-geophysical data has been continuously used in terms that it has provided more confident information than the result from single-geophysical data. Especially, geostatistical integration has its own superiority that it is possible to deal with spatial characteristics as well as physical properties of survey data and the process of integration is clear. This paper further extends the previous work of geostatistical inversion for integrated interpretation. In this paper, we propose a new way of dealing with the case that the multi-geophysical data do not share the measurement range. According to the geostatistical kriging, the closer between the measurement points, the smaller kriging variance we get, and vice versa. We used this spatial properties as a weighting value to the process of geostatistical inversion for the geophysical data integration. An objective way to integrate different kinds of geophysical data measured at different ranges is provided with this algorithm.
