In this study, we performed finite element analysis for the design of a medical centrifuge and two-types of centrifuge were compared with each other. The types of centrifuge are 2-arm straight type and 3-arm type. Structural analysis was done with respect to the change of the rotational speed of the rotor of a centrifuge. When the rotor of centrifuge was rotated, the von Mises stress of 2-arm straight type-rotor was compared with the von Mises stress of 3-arm type. The margin of safety was estimated from the result. We found the critical speed of centrifuge from the campbell diagram by modal analysis.

The finite element simulations of fatigue crack growth are carried out. Using only the mechanical properties usually obtained from the tensile test as input data, we attempted to predict the fatigue crack growth behavior. The critical crack opening displacement is determined by monitoring the change in displacements at the node close to the crack tip. Crack growth is simulated by debonding the crack tip node. The exponent in the Paris law was determined and compared to the published exponent. Plotting with respect to the effective stress intensity factor range yielded more consistent results.

In this paper, a Progressive Damage and Failure Analysis (PDFA) modeling method was developed using ABAQUS/EXPLICIT to predict in-plane damage and delamination for Open-Hole Compression (OHC) testing. The proposed PDFA model was constructed based on Hashin criteria and cohesive behavior. The strength and stiffness of OHC specimens with three types of stacking sequences [(45/-45/0₂)₃]_s , [(45/0/-45/90)₃]_s and [45/-45/0/45/-45/90/(45/-45)₂]_s were compared to comprehensively evaluate the validity of the Finite Element(FE) model of PDFA. The strength and stiffness of the OHC specimens were predicted relatively well, with less than a percentage error 10.0 %. For the numerical simulation case for each layup, the damage initiation/evolution of OHC specimens were evaluated for delamination and tension/compression matrix damage before and after failure.

임의의 형상을 갖는 진동체에 의한 방사 음장해석은 경계요소법에 의하여 이미 많은 해석이 시도되었다. 그러나, 진동체의 형상이 매우 복잡한 경우에는 겉표면의 요소수가 크게 증가할 뿐만 아니라 각 요소에서의 경계조건을 모두 알아내어야 하므로, 저주파에 국한된 해석일지라도 엄청난 시간과 노력이 필요하게 된다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위하여 경계요소법을 사용하되, 복잡한 형상의 진동체를 둘러싸는 가상적인 표면을 매우 간단하게 설정한 후 그 표면상의 경계조건인 음압을 측정한다. 임의의 형상에 대한 파수 영역에서의 감쇠파의여파작업을 위하여 특이값 분리를 사용하였다. 특이값 분리에 의하여 음압분포를 측정위치에서 설정된 일반 좌표계에서의 고유모드로 분해한다. 각 고유모드의 원거리 음장의 기여도에 해당하는 각 특이벡터에 대한 특이값의 크기를 비교하여, 유한개의 고유모드만을 포함시킴으로써 원거리 음장을 예측한다. 몇 개의 예제를 통하여 해석적 방법의 기존의 경계요소법에 의한 결과를 본 연구 방법의 결과와 비교하여 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, feasibility of dynamic characteristics recovery of delaminated composite structure is numerically studied by using active control algorithm and piezoelectric actuator. Macro-fiber composite(MFC), which has great flexibility and high actuating force, is considered as an actuator in this work. After construction of finite element model for delaminated composite structure based on improved layerwise theory, modal characteristics are investigated and changes of natural frequencies and mode shapes, caused by delamination, are observed. Then, active control algorithm is realized and implemented to system model and control performances are numerically evaluated. Dynamic characteristics of delaminated composite structure are effectively recovered to those of healthy composite structure.

In this paper, the thermal insulator structure of a real rocket which is fabricated in a way that laminated composite rings are connected in series is analyzed using 3-dimensional axisymmetric finite element models. Simulation of cowl zone using a real operating conditions provides that the stress distribution in the laminated composite ring is largely influenced by ply-angles, axial dimensions, and boundary conditions. Notably the plylift that is the precursor to the wedge-out occurs in the ring-to-ring bonding region. It is hypothesized that after the plylift the wedge is dropped out due to the shear stresses in the ply-angle direction and axial compressive stresses.

Pyrolysis and surface recession of charring composites are progressed primarily in the thickness direction. The unmixing-mixing scheme is applied to describe the in-plane and through-thickness behaviors of porous composites. The extended unmixing-mixing equations are based on transverse isotropy of unidirectionally fiber-reinforced composites. The strain components of gas pressure in pores, thermal expansion, and chemical shrinkage are included in the constitutive model. By analyzing micromechanical representative volume elements of porous composites, the validity of the derived equations are examined.

A modeling method is described to provide a smaller structural dynamic model which can be used to compare finite element model of a structure with its experimental counterpart. A structural dynamic model is assumed to be represented by dynamic stiffness matrix. To validate a finite element model, it is often necessary to condense a large degrees of freedom (dofs) to a relatively small number of dofs. For these purpose, static reduction techniques are widely used. However, errors in these techniques are caused by neglecting frequency dependent terms in the functions relating slave dofs and master dofs. An alternative method is proposed in this paper in which the frequency dependent terms are considered by expressing the reduced dynamic stiffness matrix with orthogonal polynomials. The reduced model has finally a minimum set of dofs, such as sensors and excitation points and it is under the same condition as the physical system. It is proposed that the reduced model can be derived from finite element model. The procedure is applied to example structure and the results are discussed.

An analytical model is presented to predict the static behavior of the long-span prestressed concrete bridge deck(the long-span PSC deck). The finite element analysis is performed and the results are compared with that of the previous experimental test. The load-deflection relationship curves by FEM are in good agreement with the results reported in the previous study. The failure mode of all test specimens is predicted by the punching shear in this study. It is also observed in the previous experimental test. The main objective of this paper is presenting supportive method to predict static behavior of the long-span PSC deck slab. It is not simulating the punching shear behavior graphically.
