A simple finite element approach to predicting deformed shape and load-deflection curve of elastomers is presented in this paper. The method is based on several simplifications in deformation pattern and material behavior. The conventional updated Lagrangian approach is employed together with material data obtained by a simple tension test. The presented approach is verified through comparison of predicted results with experimental ones and applied successfully to shape design of various elastomers for shock, vibration and noise control. The advantage of the presented approach lies in easiness, simplicity and accuracy enough for engineering application.

The paper presents the application of FE simulations of NATM tunnel using different constitutive models. The results from a series of two dimensional plane strain finite element analyses of medium-liner interaction for NATM are presented. Four types of constitutive models are considered, namely, linear elastic, elasto-plastic Mohr-Coulomb, Hardening-Soil, Soft-Soil model. The design for tunnels requires a proper estimate of surface settlement and lining forces. It is shown that the advanced constitutive model gives better predictions for both ground movement and structural forces.

This paper describes the design process of a six-component force/torque (F/T) sensor. The new six-component F/T sensor having leaf spring ends has been developed using a cross beam structure as the basic sensing element. Fundamental strain analysis of both ends fixed beam having a leaf spring structure is performed by finite element analysis. In order to obtain similar output sensing strains from the six component loads and minimize coupling strains, the optimal location of strain gages is determined and the strain gages are connected so that the bridge circuits with four strain gages would be balanced. Using leaf spring ends instead of rigid fixed ends, remarkable increment in output sensing strain can be achieved for two component forces. Several modifications in design result in a similar sensing strain of approximately $400\;{\mu}m/m$ for the six-component forces and moments, and a reduced coupling strain of $0\;{\mu}m/m$ between the forces and moments.

This study is concerned with an application of the Boundary Element Method to 2-dimensional elastoplastic stress analysis on the material nonlinearities. The boundary integral formulation adopted an initial stress equation in the inelastic term. In order to determine the initial stress increment, the increment of initial elastic strain energy due to elastic increment in stressstrain curve was used as the convergence criterion during iterative process. For the validity of this procedure, the results of B.E.M. with constant elements and NISA with linear elements where compared on the thin plate with 2 edge v-notches under static tension and the thick cylinder under internal pressure. And this paper compared the results of using unmedical integral with the results of using semi-analytical integral on the plastic domain integral.

Comparing with general optical fiber sensors performing localized measurement, distributed optical fiber sensors can measure along an optical fiber, and they have large measuring range. The surface-mounting method with epoxy adhesive is general in attaching optical fiber sensors to structures, This is also appliable to the structural integrity monitoring with Brillouin-scattering distributed optical fiber sensors. In this paper, Brillouin-scattering distributed optical fiber sensors, which are attached to the surface of a structure with epoxy adhesive, was verified with the finite element method. From the analysis results of strain transfer through the structure, optical fiber coating, cladding and core, the strain transfer rates were calculated. And the influence of the epoxy free-end was also studied.

In this study, a simplified method of improving not only transverse shear stress but also shear strain based on the first-order shear deformation theory was developed. Unlike many established methods, such as the higher-order shear deformation and layerwise theories, this method can easily apply to finite elements as only $C^0$ continuity is necessary and the formulation of equations is very simple. The basic concept in this method, however, must be corrected:the distribution of the transverse shear stresses and shear strains through the thickness from the formulation based on the higher-order shear deformation theory. Therefore, the shear correction factors are no longer required, based on the first-order shear deformation theory. Numerical analyses were conducted to verify the validity of the proposed formulations. The solutions based on the simplified method were in very good agreement with the results considering the higher-order shear deformation theory.

The advanced development in many fields of engineering and science has caused much interests and demands for crashworthiness and non-linear dynamic transient analysis of structure response. Crash and impact problems have a dominant characteristic of large deformation with material plasticity for short time scales. The structural material shows strain rate-dependent behaviors in those cases. Conventional rate-independent constitutive equations used in the general purposed finite analysis programs are inadequate for dynamic finite strain problems. In this paper, a rate-dependent constitutive equation for elastic-plastic material is developed. The plastic stretch rate is modeled based on slip model with dislocation velocity and its density so that there is neither yielding condition, nor loading conditions. Non-linear hardening rule is also introduced for finite strain. Material constants of present constitutive equation are determined by experimental data of mild steel, and the constitutive equation is applied to uniaxile tension loading.

휨을 받는 철근콘크리트 부재 단면의 연화현상은 구조물의 파괴하중 해석시 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 일반적인 탄-소성 이론에 근거한 소성한계해석법을 사용할 경우 철골 구조물에는 적합하지만 철근콘크리트 구조물에는 최대하중 이후의 연화현상으로 인하여 이 이론은 부적합하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문의 주목적은 변위제어방법을 사용하여 철근콘크리트 구조물이 파괴될 때까지의 완전한 거동을 이끌어 내는 것이다. 프로그램을 사용한 계산결과를 보다 빠르고 경제적으로 이끌어 내기 위하여 단면의 성질인 모멘트-곡률, 축력-축\ulcorner향 변형률, 그리고 전단력 변형률 곡선 등을 여러개의 직선적으로 단순화한 모델식을 사용하여 해석한다. 또한 연화현상을 고려한 유한요소의 해석결과는 사용된 요소의 크기에 따라 결과가 매우 다르게 나타나기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위하여 파괴에너지 개념을 도입하여 모멘트-곡률 곡선을 보정하여 구조계산에 적용시킨다. 이와 같이 단면을 층으로 나누어 해석하지 않고 직접 단면의 성질을 나타내는 곡선들을 적용한 본 프로그램으로 보와 골조를 해석한 결과는 실제적인 실험결과와 비교하였을 경우 거의 일치하게 나타난다.

이 논문은 초고강도 섬유보강 I형 보의 거동을 Diana를 사용하여 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 보통 또는 고강도 콘크리트의 구성방정식과 달리 초고강도 섬유보강 콘크리트의 재료적 특성 즉, 인장 변형률 강화를 고려한 탄-소성 파괴 역학적 모델을 제안하여 해석에 반영하였다. 인장영역에서는 인장 변형률 강화를 고려한 다차원 고정 균열 규준을 사용하였고, 압축영역에서는 associated flow rule을 고려한 Drucker-Prager Criterion을 채택하였다. UHPFRC(Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete) I형 보의 하중변형관계, 최초 균열, 최초 대각 균열, 극한상태 등의 결과를 실험결과와 비교하여 해석법의 유용성을 입증하였다.

심층혼합처리공법에 의해 개량된 연약지반상에 사석제를 축조한 후 배면매립을 실시할 경우 사석호안의 변형거동을 관찰하기 위해 계측을 실시하였다. 개량지반상에 사석호안을 축조하기 위한 설계기준을 마련하기 위하여 유한요소법을 이용한 지반변형해석과 Bishop의 간편법을 이용한 사면안정해석을 실시하였다. 이들 해석을 사석제부, 연약지반부 그리고 뒷채음성토부의 토질조건 및 형상이 다른 여러 경우에 대하여 실시하여 그 결과를 서로 비교 분석하였다. 즉, 해석결과를 이용하여 사석제 정사부에서의 수평변위량과 침하？을 호안의 사면안정률과 연과지어 검토하였다. 본 연두결과 사석호안의 사면안전률 1.3보다 낮을 경우 상당히 큰 지반변형이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.
