대형 상용차용 내연기관에서 방출되는 소음의 음압 레벨은 경우에 따라 140dBA 이상으로 환경소음 배출규제에 부합되는 배출 소음을 위하여는 소음기의 적절한 설계가 필요하다 하겠다. 소음기는 방출 소음을 저감시키는 기본적인 작용 이외에 엔진의 효율을 저하시키는 배압(back-pressure) 상승의 효과를 동반할 뿐만 아니라 차체에의 장착을 위하여 크기와 무게의 제약을 받는다. 따라서 소음기는 설계자의 경험과 과거에 사용되어 온 소음기에 대한 이해, 소음기를 구성하는 단위 요소에 대한 음향학적 해석이론, 제작 과정에서의 경험과 튜닝 등에 바탕을 두고 설계되어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대형 상용차에 장착되는 기존 소음기 구성요소의 투과 손실(Transmission Loss: TL)을 전달 행렬법으로 해석하여 음향학적 특성을 규명하고 개별 소음기 요소에 대한 기존의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 공명기와 다공 요소를 이용하여 기존 소음기를 재설계함으로써 배출 소음의 저감을 이루어 나간 과정을 소개하고 이를 적용 사례를 중심으로 살펴보고 있다. 소음기의 설계를 위하여 고려할 수 있는 음향학적 요소는 그 기능과 형태면에서 다양하나 본 연구에서는 대형 상용차용 소음기에 주로 사용 가능한 공명기와 다공관을 주된 설계요소로 생각하였다. 공명기는 공명 주파수 대역의 소음을 저감하는 역할을 하므로 일정한 엔진 회전수 하에서 엔진의 방출 소음중 폭발 성분에 의한 소음을 줄이는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있지만 가속 주행시에는 회전수(rpm)의 변화에 따라 폭발 주기가 변화하게 되므로 공명기의 설계에 주의를 기울여야 한다. 내연 기관용 소음기에 빈번하게 쓰이는 다공 요소의 해석 방법으로는 Sullivan[1], Kim and Yoon[2] 등의 분할 접근 방법(Segmentation approach)과 Jayaraman and Yam[3], Munjal[4], Peat[5] 등의 연성 제거 방법(Decoupling Approach)등이 제시되었고 평면파 영역에 한하여 해서되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 분할 접근 방법(Segmentation Approach)을 이용하여 다공 요소로 이루어진 소음기를 해석하는데 적용하였다.

In this paper, we propose a fast liver segmentation method from magnetic resonance(MR) images. Our method efficiently divides a MR image into a set of discrete objects, and boundaries based on the normalized gradient magnitude information. Then, the objects belonging to the liver are detected by using 2D seeded region growing with seed points, which are extracted from the segmented liver region of the slice immediately above or below the current slice. Finally, rolling ball algorithm, and connected component analysis minimizes false positive error near the liver boundaries. Our method was validated by twenty data sets and the results were compared with the manually segmented result. The average volumetric overlap error was 5.2%, and average absolute volumetric measurement error was 1.9%. The average processing time for segmenting one data set was about three seconds. Our method could be used for computer-aided liver diagnosis, which requires a fast and accurate segmentation of liver.

In this paper, a new adaptive analysis scheme for element-free Galerkin method(EFGM) is proposed. The novel point of this scheme is that the triangular cell structure based on the Delaunay triangulation is used in the numerical integration and the node adding/removing process. In adaptive analysis with this scheme, there is no need to divide the integration cell and the memory cell structure. For the adaptive analysis of crack propagation, the reconstruction of cell structure by adding and removing the nodes on integration cells based the estimated error should be carried out at every iteration step by the Delaunay triangulation technique. This feature provides more convenient user interface that is closer to the real mesh-free nature of EFGM. The analysis error is obtained basically by calculating the difference between the values of the projected stresses and the original EFG stresses. To evaluate the performance of proposed adaptive procedure, the crack propagation behavior is investigated for several examples.

In this paper, by extending the previously developed self- and mutual-radiation impedance calculation method for a regular-square vibrating surface by using numerical series, we proposed a method to obtain the self-radiation impedance of a rectangular transducer with an arbitrary integer ratio of the length to width. The proposed method exhibits high accuracy and a short computation time. After investigating the accuracy and computation time as the number of elements changes, we have calculated the self-radiation impedance of several rectangular transducers, and compared the results with those in the literature.

The FVM(Finite Volume Method) have been used mainly for the flow analyses in the piston-cylinder. The objective of the present study is to analyze numerically the piston-driven intake flows using the FEM(Finite Element Method). The FEM algorithm used in this study is 4-step time-splitting method which requires much less execution time and computer storage than the velocity-pressure integrated method and the penalty method. And the explicit Lax-Wendroff scheme is applied to nonlinear convective term in the momentum equations to prevent checkerboard pressure oscillations. Also, the ALE(arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) method is adopted for the moving grids. The calculated results show good agreement in comparison with those by the FVM and the experimental results by the LDA.

This study is concerned with an application of the boundary element method on the crack problem. The stable and efficient analysis method of two dimensional elastostatic stress intensity factor on the mode I deformations is established from the result o stress analysis for the center cracked plates. In order to precisely analyse, The subelements of quadratic element, singular elements on the crack tip and interface and division into regions are applied to elastic stress. The usefulness of the method has been tested with a center cracked plates, a double edge cracked plate and a single edge cracked plate, and the results have turned out to be fairly satisfactory.

The finite element method has become the most widely used method of structural analysis and recently, the method has often been applied to complex dynamic and nonlinear structural analyses problems. Even for these complex problems, where the responses are hard to predict, finite element analyses yield reliable results if appropriate element types and meshes are used. However, the dynamic and nonlinear behaviors of a structure often include large deformations in various portions of the structure and if the same mesh is used throughout the analysis, some elements may deform to shapes beyond the reliable limits; thus dynamically adapting finite element meshes are needed in order for the finite element analyses to be accurate. In addition, to satisfy the users requirement of quick real run time of finite element programs, the algorithms must be computationally efficient. This paper presents an adaptive finite element mesh generation scheme for dynamic analyses of structures that may adapt at each time step. Representative strain values are used for error estimates and combinations of the h-method(node movement) and the r-method(element division) are used for mesh refinements. A coefficient that depends on the shape of an element is used to limit overly distorted elements. A simple frame example shows the accuracy and computational efficiency of the scheme. The aim of the study is to outline the adaptive scheme and to demonstrate the potential use in general finite element analyses of dynamic and nonlinear structural problems commonly encountered.

A three dimensional adaptive finite element refinement algorithm is developed for non-linear magnetostatic field problems. In the method, the edge elements are used for finite element formulation, and the local error in each element is estimated from the fact that the tangential components of magnetic field intensity and the normal components of magnetic flux density should be continuous at the interface of the two adjacent elements. Based on the estimated error, the elements which have big error are divided into several elements using bisection method. The effectiveness of the developed algorithm is proved through numerical examples.

본 논문은 미세구조의 마이크로 액추에이터의 구동해석을 위한 결과로써 3차원 유한요소해석(Finite Element Analysis, FEA)을 이용하여 수행하였다. 마이크로머신과 같은 미소구조물을 해석하는 경우, 컴퓨터의 메인 프로세스에 비해 프리프로세서(pre-processor)의 비중이 높아지고 있어 그 효율화가 가장 중요하다. 수작업에 의존해야 했던 지난날의 요소분할법 기술은 최근에 들어 여러 연구자들에 의해 개발되고 있다. 특히, 복합현상을 다루는 정전 액추에이터에 직접적인 적용에 다소 어려움이 있는데 3차원적인 수치 및 실험평가는 실용적인 문제에서 비추어 볼 때 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서로서의 역할을 하는 마이크로 정전 액추에이터의 기본설계를 위한 토대를 구축하고자 3차원적인 FEA 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 미세 회전운동을 분석하였다. 그 결과 설계된 모델에서 먼저 자중해석과 Mode 해석에서 기준치를 모두 만족하였다. 또한 설계된 액추에이터의 형상에 따른 회전자의 변형해석을 수행하여 시작토오크와 탄성한계까지의 위치제어에 필요한 회전각을 구하였으며, 정전장 해석을 통하여 시작토오크는 전압 $V^2$에 비례함을 알 수 있었다.

The p-version of the finite element method is a new approach to finite element analysis in which the partition of the domain is held fixed while the degree p of approximating piecewise polynomials is increased. In this paper, the focus is on computer implementation of a new hierarchic p-convergence shell model based on blend mapping functions. Its rigid-body modes, round-off error, and convergence characteristics are investigated.
