폭발하중은 매우 짧은 시간 내에 순간적인 높은 압력으로 발생된다. 따라서 폭발하중을 받는 구조물은 매우 복잡한 순간 동역학적 손상 거동을 나타낸다. 이러한 외부 하중에 대한 실험적 연구는 큰 비용, 시설, 그리고 군사적 보안 문제가 요구되기 때문에, 고성능 컴퓨팅 기술을 이용한 수치적 기법을 통해 구조물의 동적 비선형 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 정확성을 높이기 위해 폭풍파와 같은 대기전파의 경우 Euler 기법, 콘크리트 재료의 경우 Lagrange 기법을 적용한 복합적 수치해석 (multi-solver coupling) 기법이 적용되었다. 제안된 수치해석 기법은 explicit 유한요소해석 프로그램인 AUTODYN을 이용하여 수행되었다. 그리고 클러스터 (cluster) 내 병렬 알고리즘 (parallel algorithm)을 이용하여 수치해석의 효율성을 높였다. RC 구조물의 수치해석 결과, 기존 실험 결과와 비교하여 잘 일치되었다. 또한 영역분할 개수가 증가할수록 수행시간은 감소되었고 Speed-up과 효율성은 높아졌다.

For shallow arches with large dynamic loading, linear analysis is no longer considered as practical and accurate. In this study, a method is presented for the dynamic analysis of shallow arches in which geometric nonlinearity must be considered. A program is developed for the analysis of the nonlinear dynamic behavior and for evaluation of critical buckling loads of shallow arches. Geometric nonlinearity is modeled using Lagrangian description of the motion. The finite element analysis procedure is used to solve the dynamic equation of motion and Newmark method is adopted in the approximation of time integration. A shallow arch subject to radial step loads is analyzed. The results are compared with those from other researches to verify the developed program. The behavior of arches is analyzed using the non-dimensional time, load, and shape parameters. It is shown that geometric nonlinearity should be considered in the analysis of shallow arches and probability of buckling failure is getting higher as arches are getting shallower. It is confirmed that arches with the same shape parameter have the same deflection ratio at the same time parameter when arches are loaded with the same parametric load. In addition, it is proved that buckling of arches with the same shape parameter occurs at the same load parameter. Circular arches, which are under a single or uniform normal load, are analyzed for comparison. A parabolic arch with radial step load is also analyzed. It is verified that the developed program is applicable for those problems.

셀구조물은 선박, 항공기, 우주선 등의 산업분야에 자주 사용되는 중요한 구조요소로서, 이에 대한 연구도 공학적 필요성에 의해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. Maddox등의 Rayleigh-Ritz법, Srinivasan and Bobby의 적분방정식 기법, Petyt의 유한요소법, Irie, Henderson등의 전달매트릭스법, 그 외 Webster, Petyt and Deb Nath, Blevins, Srinivasan and Krishnan등에 의해 여러가지 해석방법의 진동해석이 행해져 왔다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 매트릭스 구조해석 및 진동해석 방법으로는 유한요소법과 전달매트릭스법을 들 수 있다. 유한요소법은 범용적인 해석 프로그램의 개발은 수월하지만 대규모의 선형 연립방정식의 해법에 귀착되므로, 기억용량이 큰 대형컴퓨터가 필요하고, 반면 전달매트릭스법은 기억용량이 적은 퍼스널컴퓨터로도 계산수행이 가능하나 고차의 고유진동수를 구할 경우나, 중간에 단단한 경탄성지지가 존재할 경우 등에는 수치계산상의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로, 상태변수를 바꾸어 넣은 Riccati방법, 각 절점의 기지의 상태변수를 제거하는 Frontal법, 전달매트릭스와 강성매트릭스를 결합시키는 방법 등이 보고 되고 있다. 이에 자자들은 퍼스널컴퓨터 이용에 적합한 고속, 고정도의 구조해석 및 진동해석 기법으로 전달영향계수법을 제안하여, 원판구조물, 사각판구조물, 원통형 셀구조물 등의 여러가지 형상구조물의 자유진동 해석에 적용해서, 종래의 전달매트릭스법에 비해 계산정도 및 계산속도의 양면에서 매우 우수함을 보고한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 동적영향계수의 축차전달에 그 개념을 두고 있는 전달영향계수법을 좀 더 일반화시키고 체계화시키기 위하여 탄성지지를 갖는 셀구조물에 적용하여 자유진동 해석 알고리즘을 정식화한 후, 간단한 모델에 대한 수치실험을 통해서 전달 영향계수법으로 구한 해를 전달매트릭스법의 결과와 비교.검토하여 본 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Flexibility and fracture properties determine the performance of NiTi rotary instruments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how geometrical differences between three NiTi instruments affect the deformation and stress distributions under bending and torsional conditions using finite element analysis. Three NiTi files (ProFile .06 / #30, F3 of ProTaper and ProTaper Universal) were scanned using a Micro-CT. The obtained structural geometries were meshed with linear, eight-noded hexahedral elements. The mechanical behavior (deformation and von Mises equivalent stress) of the three endodontic instruments were analyzed under four bending and rotational conditions using ABAQUS finite element analysis software. The nonlinear mechanical behavior of the NiTi was taken into account. The U-shaped cross sectional geometry of ProFile showed the highest flexibility of the three file models. The ProTaper, which has a convex triangular cross-section, was the most stiff file model. For the same deflection, the ProTaper required more force to reach the same deflection as the other models, and needed more torque than other models for the same amount of rotation. The highest von Mises stress value was found at the groove area in the cross-section of the ProTaper Universal. Under torsion, all files showed highest stresses at their groove area. The ProFile showed highest von Mises stress value under the same torsional moment while the ProTaper Universal showed the highest value under same rotational angle.

A CFRP sheet has been applied as a structural reinforcement in the field, and various studies are conducted to evaluate the effect of CFRP sheets on reinforced concrete. Although many experiments were performed from previous studies, there are still limitations to analyze structural behaviors with various parameters in experiments directly. This study shows the FEA on structural behaviors of RC beams reinforced with CFRP sheets using ABAQUS software. To simulate debonding failure of CFRP sheets which is a major failure mode of RC beam with CFRP sheets, a cohesive element was applied between the bottom surface of RC beam and CFRP sheets. Both quasi-static method and 2-D symmetric FE model technique were performed to solve nonlinear problems. Results obtained from the FE models show good agreements with experimental results. It was found that reinforcement level of CFRP sheets is closely related to structural behavior of reinforced concrete including maximum strength, initial stiffness and deflection at failure. Also, as over-reinforcement of CFRP sheets could give rise to the brittle failure of RCstructure using CFRP sheets, an appropriate measure should be required when installing CFRP sheets in the structure.

This paper concentrates on the nonlinear analysis of prestressed concrete (PSC) containment structures. Unlike a commercialized program which adopts the perfect bond assumption between concrete and tendon in the analysis of PSC structures, a numerical algorithm to consider the slip effect, simultaneously with the use of commercialized programs such as DIANA and ABAQUS, is introduced in this paper For bonded tendons, the apparent yield stress of an embedded tendon is determined from the bond slip relationship. And for unbonded tendons, Correction for the strength and stiffness of unbonded internal tendons is achieved on the basis of an iteration scheme derived from the slip behavior of tendon along the entire length. Finally, the developed algorithm is applied to two PSC containment structures of PWR and CANDU to verify its efficiency and applicability in simulating the structural behavior of large complex structures, and the obtained result shows that both containment structures represent the ultimate pressure capacity larger than about 3 times of the design pressure.

This paper describes a current sensor for precision current measurement of an electronic watt-hour meter that is going to install in houses in the future. As the current sensor is based on an cored principle (the Rogowski principle) it is not subject to usual limitations of saturation and non-linearity of general current transformers. An advantage of the developed current sensor is that non-linearity error in low current range is improved and the construction can be kept simple using an air core. We present a magnetic field analysis of the sensor using a finite-element solver. We compared the measured values versus the calculated values.

The damper oil seal of a high-speed railway vehicle is made from nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) in order to prevent lubricant from leaking into the damper and to stop harmful contaminants from entering the external environment while in service. Oil leakage through the seal primarily occurs from fatigue failure of the damper. Cumulative damage of the seal occurs due to the contact force between the rod and the rubber during movement due to track irregularities and cants, among other factors. Thus, the design of the oil seal should minimize the maximum principal strain at weak points. In this study, the optimal cross section of the damper oil seal was found using the multi-island genetic algorithm method to improve the durability of the damper. The optimal shape of the oil seal was derived using process automation and design optimization software. Nonlinear material properties for finite element analysis (FEA) of the rubber were determined by Marlow's model. The nonlinear FEA confirmed that the maximum principal strain at the oil leakage point was decreased 24% between the initial design and the optimum design.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the inelastic behavior and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete bridge piers including P-delta effects. A computer program, named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. In addition to the material nonlinear properties, the algorithm for large displacement problem that may give an additional deformation has been formulated using total Lagrangian formulation. The proposed numerical method for the inelastic behavior and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete bridge piers is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

A numerical simulation of the nonsteady state rolling process in the plane strain condition is presented in the basis of the rigid-plastic finite element method by considering large deformation. In order to apply the large deformation theory to the numerical method for sheet rolling problems, constitutive equation relating 2nd-Piola Kirchhoff stress and Lagrangian strain which reflect geometrical nonlinearity is used. To confirm the validity of the developed algorithm, the analysis of the neutral flow region, roll separating force, torque, pressure and stress/strain distributions on the workpiece is conducted from the bite of the material until the steady state is reached. The computed results of the roll force and torque in the present finite element analysis are lower than those corresponding to small strain theory. The pressure distribution at the work piece-roll interface is found to show the typical 'friction hill' type only. The peak value in near the neutral region, however, is good agrements with the existing results. the neutral region, however, is good agrements with the existing results. The frictional force at the roll interface provide detailed information about the neutral point where the shear forces change direction. In addition, the analysis also includes the effect and influence of material condition, strip thickness, work roll diameter, as well as roll speed and lubricant on each deformation process.
