In this study, we developed a finite element model of the human middle ear has been developed to calculate itsfor sound transfer characteristics calculation. We usedThe geometric data forof ossicles, obtained byfrom micro-CT scanning, was used in order to develop the middle- ear FE model. A right- side temporal bone of a Korean cadaver was used for the micro-CT scanning. The developed FE model includes three ossicles, the tympanic membrane, ligaments, and muscles. We calculated theA sound transfer function from the tympanic membrane to the stapes footplate was calculated. The sound transfer function calculated vias of the FE model shows good agreement with measured responses over the 10- kHz frequency band. To measureidentify the sensitivityies of the middle- ear function due to material property variation, we studied several parameters studies have been fulfilled using the middle ear FE model. TAs a result the stiffness property of the incudostapedial joint had the greatest influence onwas the most influential to the middle- ear sound transfer function among the parameters.

A modeling method is described to provide a smaller structural dynamic model which can be used to compare finite element model of a structure with its experimental counterpart. A structural dynamic model is assumed to be represented by dynamic stiffness matrix. To validate a finite element model, it is often necessary to condense a large degrees of freedom (dofs) to a relatively small number of dofs. For these purpose, static reduction techniques are widely used. However, errors in these techniques are caused by neglecting frequency dependent terms in the functions relating slave dofs and master dofs. An alternative method is proposed in this paper in which the frequency dependent terms are considered by expressing the reduced dynamic stiffness matrix with orthogonal polynomials. The reduced model has finally a minimum set of dofs, such as sensors and excitation points and it is under the same condition as the physical system. It is proposed that the reduced model can be derived from finite element model. The procedure is applied to example structure and the results are discussed.

This paper presents an on-line finite element model updating method for in-service structures using measured data. Conventional updating methods, which are based on numerical optimization, are not efficient for on-line updating because they generally require repeated eigenvalue analyses until convergence criteria are met. The proposed method enables fully automated on-line finite element model updating, almost simultaneously with vibration measurement, without any user intervention or off-line procedures. The automated covariance-driven stochastic subspace identification (Cov-SSI) method is utilized to identify modal frequencies and vectors, and the identified modal data is fed to the neural network of the inverse eigenvalue function to produce the updated finite element model parameters. Numerical examples for a wind excited 20-story building structure shows that the proposed method can update the series of finite element model parameters automatically. It is also shown that sudden changes in the structural parameters can be detected and traced successfully.

구조 시스템 식별은 역문제로서 이상화된 유한요소 모델을 실험치와 일치시키기 위해 유한요소모델을 보정하는 형태로 주로 이루어진다. 이를 위해 비선형 섭동법이 사용되고 있으며 이 방법을 실제 문제에 사용하기 위해서 시스템 축소법에 대한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 방법에서는 유한요소모델의 모든 요소가 실험치와 다르다고 가정하여서 전체 요소 수만큼의 설계 변수를 두어서 역해석을 수행한다. 이런 기존의 방법에서는 시스템이 커짐에 따라 연산 시간이 기하급수적으로 증가하게 되어 어려움이 있다. 설계 변수의 증가는 해공간(solution space)의 확장을 의미하며 이는 해의 정확성에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구에서는 모델을 적은 수의 설계영역으로 나누어서 반복연산 단계마다 해의 경향성을 이용해서 설계 영역을 전략적으로 변경하는 적응성 설계영역기법을 제안한다. 수치예제를 통해 본 연구에서 제안하는 기법의 정확도와 효용성을 고찰한다.

In this paper, the finite element models for composite lattice structures were verified through natural frequency test. Finite element models of composite lattice structure were generated using beam, shell and solid element. Natural frequencies were measured using impact test method under free-boundary condition. The natural frequencies of finite element analysis for shell and solid element showed a good agreement with experimental results. But beam element did not show a good agreement with experimental results, because beam element could not consider the degradation of mechanical properties of non-intersection parts for composite lattice structure.

The FE model for shot peening often assume that shots impact vertically on the engineering parts to generate compressive residual stresses. However, the shots obliquely impact on the surface in actual peening. In this work, we propose a 3D finite element (FE) model for evaluation of residual stress under angled shot peening. Using the FE model for angled multi-impact, we examine the effects of factors such as impact angle, impact pattern and the number of shots. Plastic deformation of shot is also considered. To validate the model, we then compare the FE solution with experimental result by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The proposed model will be a base of 3D multi-impact FE model with diverse impact angles.

A finite element based approach that can be used to investigate the plane-view shape and crop loss of a material during plate rolling is presented. We employed a three-dimensional finite element model to continuously simulate the shape change of the head and tail of a plate as the number of rolling passes increases. The main feature of the proposed model lies in the fact that the multistage rolling can be simulated without a break because the rolling direction of the material is reversibly controlled as the roll gap sequentially decreases. The material constants required in the finite element analysis were experimentally obtained by hot tensile tests. We also performed a pilot hot plate rolling test to verify the usefulness of the proposed finite element model. Results reveal that the computed plane-view shapes as well as crop losses by the proposed finite element model were in good agreement with the measured ones. The crop losses predicted by the proposed model were within 5% of those measured from the pilot hot plate rolling test.

뇌손상에 대한 원인설명으로써 소위 central theory를 들수 있다. 이 방법은 머리의 질량 중심에서 측정된 가속도를 이용한 HIC(Head Injury Criterion)의 값을 계산하여 이를 안전기준의 척도로 삼는 방법으로 이와 같은 해석에 따라 각 자동차 회사에서는 안전기구를 설계 제작하고 있다. 그러나 실제 임상적으로 HIC의 상관관계는 뚜렷하지 못하다. 이런 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로써 유한요소모델을 이용한 해석방법을 들 수가 있다. 이 글에서는 뇌의 간략한 해부학적인 해설과 아울러 뇌의 3차원 유한 요소 모델을 이용한 해석방법을 소개하고자 한다.
