In this paper, a novel approach to estimate cohesive laws for the mode I fracture of the graphene is presented by combining molecular dynamic simulations and an inverse algorithm based on field projection method and finite element method. The determination of crack-tip cohesive laws of the graphene based on continuum mechanics is a non-trivial inverse problem of finding unknown tractions and separations from atomic simulations. The displacements of molecular dynamic simulations in a region far away from the crack tip are transferred to finite element nodes by using moving least square approximation. Inverse analyses for extracting unknown cohesive tractions and separation behind the crack tip can be carried out by using conservation nature of the interaction J- and M-integrals with numerical auxiliary fields which are generated by systematically imposing uniform surface tractions element-by-element along the crack surfaces in finite element models. The preset method can be a very successful approach to extract crack-tip cohesive laws from molecular dynamic simulations as a scale bridging method.

In this paper, nonlinear analysis for reinforced concrete structure for power transmission line is performed by considering the characteristics of the failure, which are depend on loading conditions and concrete material models. On the numerical evaluation for the failure behavior, the finite element analysis is applied. For the concrete material model, microplane model based on concrete damage is introduced. However, to describe the crack bridging effect of long and short fiber of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), tensile softening model is suggested and applied for SFRC. An numerical results by finite element technique are compared with the experiment results for box culvert specimen. Comparing on the experimental and analytical results, validity and reliability of numerical analysis are investigated.

Even though decision of coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction is important in analysis for pile under lateral load, the behavior of pile under lateral loading is estimated differently due to using established suggestion. Therefore this study estimates coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction by using Chang's method or numerical inverse analysis method with the result of lateral load test. Then this study investigates the adequacy and reliability for coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction. The analytical results of coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction with lateral load test showed that coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction with Chang's method was underestimated as compared with inverse analysis. Deformation modulus of foundation by Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges and Eo${\fallingdotseq}$1,400~1,600N showed similar range like range of coefficient of horizontal subgrade reaction with lateral load test.

Hanger cable tension is a major response that can determine the integrity and safety of suspension bridges. In general, the vibration method is used to estimate hanger cable tension on operational suspension bridges. It measures natural frequencies from hanger cables and indirectly estimates tension using the geometry conditions of the hanger cables. This study estimated the hanger cable tension of the Palyeong Bridge using a vision-based system. The vision-based system used digital camcorders and tripods considering the convenience and economic efficiency of measurement. Measuring the natural frequencies for high-order modes required for the vibration method is difficult because the hanger cable response measured using the vision-based system is displacement-based. Therefore, this study proposed a back analysis technique for estimating tension using the natural frequencies of low-order modes. Optimization for the back analysis technique was performed by defining the difference between the natural frequencies of hanger cables measured in the field and those calculated using finite element analysis as the objective function. The direct search method that does not require the partial derivatives of the objective function was applied as the optimization method. The reliability and accuracy of the back analysis technique were verified by comparing the tension calculated using the method with that estimated using the vibration method. Tension was accurately estimated using the natural frequencies of low-order modes by applying the back analysis technique.

3차원 대규모 지하구조물의 동적응답을 결정하기 위한 일반적인 수치해석이 제안되었다. 지반과 구조물을 해석하기 위하여 Laplace 변환을 적용한 경계요소법을 설명하였고, 지반-구조물계에 작용하는 외부 동적하중과 지진파를 고려할 수 있도록 공식화하였다. 동적교란이 전파되는 경우에 시간영역의 응답을 얻기 위하여는 구해진 변화된 해를 수치적인 Laplce 역변환을 수행하여야 하지만 동적교란이 조화적인 경우에는 응답이 주파수 영역으로부터 직접 얻어지며, 역변환이 필요하지 않다. 이 방법의 특징은 높은 정확도와 효율성이며, 지반-구조물계에 대하여 초기조건 및 점탄성 재료의 거동을 쉽게 고려할 수 있다는 것이다. 그러므로 이 방법은 다양한 지하구조물의 동적거동과 지진에 대한 취약함을 연구하기 위한 적절한 도구로 사용되어 질 수 있다.

전자파에 의한 산란현상의 해석은 지금까지 주로 시간조화함수의 형태를 지닌 전원에 의한 정 상상태의 산란에 관하여 이루어졌다. 그러나 레이다나 피파괴 검사, 전송선로 점검 등의 응용에서는 주로 펄스형태의 전자파를 사용하며, 따라서 시간에 따라 변화하는 함수형태의 전원에 의한 전자파의 산란해 석이 중요한 문제로 등장하였다. 또한 통신선로에서 외부의 잡음에 대한 혼신 등을 해석하거나, 낙뢰가 송 전선로에 미치는 영향을 해석하는 데에도 펄스신호의 산란해석이 필수적이다. 일반적인 함수의 형태를 지닌 전원에 의한 산란현상을 해석하기 위해서는 전원함수를 Fourier 변환하 여 주파수 영역의 스펙트럼을 구하고, 주파수영역에서의 산란해를 이용하여 Fourier 역변환을 하여 시간 영역의 해를 구할 수 있다. 주파수 영역에서의 산란판의 해를 Fourier 역변환 하기 위해서는 적분을 행하여야 하며, 일반적으로 적분과정에서 매우 복잡한 계산이 필요하고, 산란체의 구조가 복잡하여 해석 적인 해를 구할수 없는 경우에는 해석적으로 시간영역의 해를 구하는 것이 불가능하다. 시변 함수에 의 한 산란파를 구하기 위한 수치해석적 방법으로는 모멘트방법이나 유한요소법(Finite Element Method), 경계요소법(Boundary Element Method), 유한차분법(Finite Difference Method)등이 있으며, 해석적 해 를구할 수 없는 경우에 적용할 수 있는 반면에 많은 계산량이 요구된다.

Purpose: In this study, the safety management method supplementing the field displacement prediction management technique was performed using the numerical analysis. Method: The analysis was performed using MIDAS GTS / NX program based on the finite element method (FEM). Approximating the displacement data and displacement trend as close as possible to the collapse site, the collapse prevention method was applied after estimating the cause of collapse. Result: The cause of the collapse was estimated by soil parametar, one of the results obtained by performing the Back-analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that the free length of the anchor was insufficient, and the free length of the anchor was changed by the collapse prevention method, and the displacement was significantly reduced. Conclusion: If Back-analysis technique is used in field management, estimating the cause of collapse and suggesting a reasonable collapse prevention measure will help to reduce collase.

Using several soil parameters which are obtained from the PI-experimental formulas and the back analysis method, the elastic analysis, the elasto-plastic analysis and the elasto-viscoplastic analysis for soil deformation are executed. Comparing the results with those of consolidation test, the indirect estimation method for soil parameters and the suitability of constitutive models are studied. The elastic analysis using back analysis result and the elasto-plastic analysis using the perconsolidation test. The elasto-viscoplastic analysis disagrees with the results of meability coefficient obtained from back analysis are the nearest to the results of the consolidation test. It is inferred that elasto-viscoplastic model is not adequate to the soil of which plasticity index is low.

구조요소의 설계에서 유한요소해석은 매우 효과적인 방법이며 정확한 해석 기술을 요구한다. 그러나 제조 공정이나 환경에 따라 달라지는 재료 물성이나 불확실성을 내포하는 피로 물성을 확정적인 값으로 이용하는 등 입력 변수의 부정확한 정보로 인해 유한요소해석 결과를 신뢰하지 못하는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 실제 시험을 통해 설계의 결과를 예측하는 것은 경제적인 측면과 시간소요 면에서 한계가 따르기에 신뢰할 수 있는 유한요소해석 방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 고주기의 피로 해석을 위해 유한요소해석을 이용하여 스프링의 응력-수명(S-N) 파라미터를 역 추정하고 수명을 예측해 보았다. 이를 위해 실제 산업현장에서 쓰이는 자동차 서스펜션 코일 스프링을 예제로 사용하였다. 시험 모델에 대해 불확실성을 고려한 베이지안 접근법을 이용하여 입력변수의 파라미터를 역 추정하였으며, 마코프체인몬테카를로(Markov Chain Monte Carlo) 기법을 이용하여 얻어진 피로 물성 파라미터의 샘플 데이터를 이용해서 유한요소해석을 실시하고 신뢰수준 내에서 새로운 구조요소의 피로수명을 예측하였다.
