With an aim at eliminating the numerical dispersion error arising from the numerical simulation of stress wave propagation, numerical dispersion characteristics of the wave equation based one-dimensional finite element model are analyzed and some dispersion control scheme are proposed in this paper The dispersion analyses are carried out for two types of mass matrix, namely the consistent and the lumped mass matrices. Based on the finding of the analyses, dispersion correction techniques are developed for both the implicit and explicit schemes. For the implicit scheme, either the weighting factor for the spatial derivatives of each time level or the lumping coefficient for mass matrix is adjusted to minimize the numerical dispersion. In the case of the explicit scheme an artificial dispersion term is introduced in the governing equation. The validity of the dispersion correction techniques proposed in this study is demonstrated by comparing the numerical solutions obtained using the Present techniques with the analytical ones.

The behavior of the masonry lining is studied to gain basic information on how to reinforce the masonry tunnels. Apart from the previous works on the masonry structures, the multi-course masonry structure, realistic in field condition, is considered and the constitutive relationship of the masonry is, therefore, established. The design charts of the orthotropic material properties are proposed according to the stiffness ratio and the crack initiation and subsequent propagation model is also considered to model the brittle nature of the masonry. A numerical analysis on the masonry panel is investigated to verify the proposed model and future works of the masonry lining are briefly explained.

When the driving voltage of an ultrasound transducer is increased to improve the quality of ultrasound images, heat is generated inside the transducer that can cause patient's skin burn and degradation of transducer performance. Hence, in this paper, a method to disperse the heat of the transducer has been studied. The phased array transducer having 3 MHz center frequency and 32 channels was selected for analyses of the thermal dispersion. First, mechanism of the heat generation was investigated in relation to the transducer operation through theoretical analysis, and material damping and sound pressure amplitude were confirmed to be influential on the heat generation. Further, we investigated the effects of the properties of the materials constituting the transducer on the thermal dispersion through finite element analysis. Based on the analysis results, we determined the thermal properties of the constituent materials that could facilitate the thermal dispersion inside the transducer. The determined thermal properties were applied to the finite element model, and the results showed that the maximum temperature at an acoustic lens contacting with a patient was decreased to 51 % of its initial value.

Morphology of injection molded polymer blend was investigated by experimental and theoretical approach. In experiments, the effects of injection speed and injection temperature on the morphology of injection molded MPPO/Nylon 6 blend were investigated. The morphology distribution across the part thickness was clearly observed in injection molded blend. We could observe several distinct regions across the thickness of molded part: skin layer, subskin layer and core region. The skin layer where the dispersed phase is fine and highly deformed to the flow direction is observed to be located near the part surface. The subskin layer located at inner region of the skin layer also observed. In the subskin layer, the dispersed phase is coarser than that of skin layer and deforms to the flow direction. Based on the experimental results, the calculation scheme to predict the morphology of injection molded polymer blend was suggested. The morphology of injection molded polymer blend could be predicted in corporation with the result of flow analysis obtained from commercial software for injection molding process and the theory of drop behavior under the flow. The suggested calculation scheme could predict the effect of injection conditions on the morphology of injection molded parts.

수환경으로 유출되는 유해화학물질은 독성을 가지고 직접 유출되거나 다양한 매체와 반응하여 화재 및 폭발 등의 사고가 발생한다. 실제로 낙동강 유역에서는 1991년 페놀 유출사고를 시작으로 2009년 구미공단 '1,4-다이옥산' 유출사고, 2014년 11월 경북 봉화군의 황산유출사고 등 크고 작은 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 작년 6월에는 대구와 부산의 수돗물에서 과불화화합물이 검출되기도 하였다. 이러한 대규모 사고를 방지하기 위해 신속한 오염물의 거동 예측이 가능한 추적모델이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 수환경으로 유출된 유해화학물질의 추적을 위한 1차원 저장대 모형을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 저장대 모형은 복잡한 하천 구조를 하천의 주 흐름이 존재하는 본류대와 하천 흐름이 정체되는 저장대, 그리고 하상구조로 단순화 하여 나타낸다. 본류대에서는 하천흐름에 의한 이송 및 횡방향 유속차로 발생하는 전단류에 의한 확산이 일어나며, 저장대와의 물질교환으로 발생하는 저장효과와, 하상구조와의 흡착 및 탈착, 그리고 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발이 발생한다고 가정한다. 본류대와 저장대간의 질량교환은 난류유속변동과 농도차에 의해서만 발생한다고 가정하고 오염물질의 이송과 분산과정을 해석한다. 저장대에서는 이송 및 전단류에 의한 확산은 일어나지 않으며, 본류대와의 물질교환으로 발생하는 저장효과와 하상구조로의 흡착, 그리고 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발이 발생한다고 가정하며, 하상구조에서는 본류대 및 저장대와의 흡착 및 탈착만 발생한다고 가정한다. 저장대 모형의 해석을 위해서는 리치(Reach) 별로 본류대 분산계수($K_F$), 본류대 면적($A_F$), 저장대 면적($A_S$), 그리고 저장대 교환계수(${\alpha}$)의 네 가지 저장대 매개변수가 필요하며 본 연구에서 개발된 저장대 모형은 흡탈착, 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발 과정을 모두 고려하여 유해화학물질의 확산 거동을 모의한다. 최적의 리치길이, 흡탈착, 반응 및 휘발 계수를 산정하여 모형의 정확도를 향상시켰으며, 신속하고 정확하게 오염물의 거동을 예측할 수 있었다.

As modern industry go further, a rigid concrete pavement has been widely constructed. The load carrying capacity of the flexible asphalt pavements is brought about by a layered system, distributing the load over the subgrade, rather than by the bending action of the slab. On the other hand, the rigid pavement, because of its rigidity and high modulus of elasticity, tends to distribute the traffic load over wide subbases, and its capacity of the strength is supplied by the slab itself. Thus, it is necessary to study the structural behavior of concrete slab under the variations of temperature changes and applied traffic loads. It reguires the development of finite element analysis program for the concrete highway pavement, which provides better understanding of concrete pavement behavior and effective design data to highway engineers.

The hybrid simulation test method is a versatile technique for evaluating the seismic performance of structures by seamlessly integrating both physical and numerical simulations of substructures into a single test mode. In this paper, a software framework that integrates computational and experimental simulation has been developed to simulate and test a bridge structural system under earthquake loading. Using hybrid simulation, the seismic response of complex bridge structural systems partitioned into multiple large-scale experimental and computational substructures at networked distributed experimental and computational facilities can be evaluated. In this paper, the examples of application are presented in terms of a bridge model with soil-foundation-structure interaction.

An efficient numerical procedure for material and geometric nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete shells under monotonically increasing loads through their elastic, inelastic and ultimate load ranges is developed by using the finite element method. The 8-node Serendipity isoparametric element developed by the degeneration approach including the transverse shear deformation is used. A layered approach is used to represent the steel reinforcement and to discretize the concrete behavior through the thickness. The total Lagrangian formulation based upon the simplified Von Karman strain expressions is used to take into account the geometric nonlinearity of the structure. The material nonlinearities are taken into account by comprising the tension, compression, and shear models of cracked concrete and a model for reinforcement in the concrete; and also a so-called smeared crack model is incorporated. The steel reinforcement is assumed to be in a uniaxial stress state and is modelled as a smeared layer of equivalent thickness. This method will be verified a useful tool to account for geometric and material nonlinearities in detailed analysis of reinforced concrete concrete shells of general form through numerical examples of the sequential paper( ).

In this paper, the effects of uncertain material constant on the nonlinear behavior of steel frames with semi-rigid joints are examined. As to the probabilistic model, a normal distribution is assumed to simulate the uncertain elastic modulus of steel material. A nonlinear structural analysis program, which can consider both semi-rigidity in joints of the steel frames and uncertainty in the material constant, is developed. Including the geometric, material and connection nonlinearites which are the parameters of nonlinear behavior of steel frames, probabilistic analysis is conducted based on the Monte-Carlo simulation. In the probabilistic analyses, we consider the three different cases for random variables. The deterministic analysis results are shown to be in good agreement with those of the previous research results in the literature. As to the probabilistic analyses, it is observed that the coefficient of variation(COV) of displacements increases as the loading increases, and that the values of COV are dependent on the structural features of the frames.
