국내 경수로 원자력발전소 가압기는 안전성향상을 위하여 보다 많은 배관과 부수적인 배관이 설치 될 수 있다. 이에 따라 ASME 코드의 공식에 의한 설계(Design by Formula)보다는 해석에 의한 설계 (Design by Analysis)의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국 표준형 원자로의 가압기 헤드 및 노즐에 대하여 ASME 코드의 해석에 의한 설계를 적용하여 범용유한요소 코드인 IDEAS로 응력해석 하고 구조적 건전성을 분석, 고찰하였다. 또한 해석결과에 따른 가압기헤드, 노즐 그리고 노즐보강에 대한 설계시 고려되어야 할 인자를 분석하였다.

Sandia National Laboratories(SNL)에서 수행된 원자로 용기의 고온, 고압 크리프 파괴 실험의 하나인 Lower Head Failure-1(LHF-1)에 대한 코드 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 코드로는 범용 유한요소 구조해석 코드인 ABACUS를 사용하였고, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory(INEL)의 크리프 데이터를 이용하였다. 크리프 해석에는 strain hardening 식을 적용하였고, 크리프 데이터를 적용하기 위해서 user subroutine을 개발하였다. 민감도 분석의 일환으로 내부 압력을 1.2배로 증가시킨 경우에 대해 수행한 해석 결과가 실험 결과와 유사하였다 해석 결과를 분석하여 현 크리프 데이터의 절대적 부족을 확인하였고, 크리프데이터 생산을 위한 크리프 시험을 계획하였다.

솔리드 모델러, 자동요소분할 기법, 4면체 특이요소, 응력확대계수의 해석 기능을 통합하여, 3차원 균열의 응력확대계수를 효율적으로 해석할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 균열을 포함하는 기하모델을 CAD 시스템을 이용하여 정의하고, 경계조건과 재료 물성치 및 절점밀도 분포를 기하모델에 직접 지정함으로써, 퍼지이론 에 의한 절점발생과 데로우니 삼각화법에 의한 요소가 자동으로 생성된다. 특히, 균열 근방에는 4면체 2차 특이요소를 생성시켰으며, 유한요소 해석을 위한 입력 데이터가 자동으로 작성되어 해석코드에 의한 응력 해석이 수행된다. 해석 후, 출력되는 변위를 이용하여 변위외삽법에 의한 응력확대계수가 자동적으로 계산되어 진다. 본 시스템의 효용성을 확인하기 위해, 인장력을 받는 평판내의 표면균열에 대해 해석하여 보았다.

This paper deals with an Umbrealla Arch Reinforcement Method (UARM) in tunnelling. It is known that the mechanism of the reinforcement system is too complex to be simulated in existent finite element (FE) frameworks when considering its complex geometry of pipe arrangements and contribution of each component of the reinforcement to reinforcing effect. In this study a 3-D elastoplastic FE procedure is, therefore, proposed by introducing homogenisation technique, which is used to define mathematically elastic as well as elastoplastic characteristics of a reinforced ground material as a composite. A number of practical suggestions are addressed considering staged constructions of tunnels. For illustrative purposes, a series of parametric studies are undertaken and anisotropic characteristics of the reinforced ground as well as effects of the reinforcement on tunnel convergences are investigated. It is found that the reinforced ground material defined in homogenisation framework has its mechanical characteristics reasonably representing inherent geometrical and quantitative characteristics of each of constituents.

This study is concerned with the shape optimization of structural members frequently found in critical area in a structure system, that is, highly stressed zone. Isogeometry analysis is well known to be the very efficient way to integrate the geometric modeling(CAD) and computational analysis(CAE). This can be accomplished by directly using the geometric modeling by NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline). In this study, an efficient computer code adopting the isogeometry concept has been developed for the structural analysis, in which CAD information can be directly used in the finite element modeling. In order to show the validity of the present code, the present results are compared with those by using the commercial package, that is, MSC/NASTRAN. The present isogeometric analysis procedure has been integrated with the optimization procedure to deal with the optimization problem found in the context of structural mechanics. The present system has been successfully applied to the shape optimization of cantilever structure having bracket. From the present study, it can be seen the validity of the present approach and computer codes developed in this study. This paper ends with some discussions about the practical usefulness of the present approach which is based on isogeometry analysis, and extension of the present study.

2 ply laminated composite is regarded to simulate the interply behavior of the belt layer of the tire. It was cone with 3 dimensional FE(Finite Element) analysis to determine interply shear stress and strain. Widthwise, the shear strain was measured by the pin method. These results are compared with those of CLT(classical lamination theory) in center region and those of Kassapoglou's and Kelsey's theory in edge region. In the FE analysis. rubber is assumed as linear elastic material. and rubber/cord laminate as the orthotropic material composed of cord and rubber In the FE result, interlaminar shear stress causing the interlaminar delamination has the largest value in the edge region of the inner rubber layer. Numerical results obtained coincides with CLT well in the center region, and agrees with other theoretical result little in the edge region.

본 논문에서는 기존의 gap 요소의 단점을 보완하여 간단하면서도 효율적인 접촉 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 다양한 수치 예제를 통하여, 제안된 접촉 알고리즘의 효율성 및 정확도를 검증하였다. 새로운 gap 요소는 일반적인 유한요소와 결합되어, 마찰이 포함되지 않은 삼차원 탄소성 접촉 문제의 해를 구하는데 이용될 수 있다. 개발된 접촉 알고리즘은 최적화기법을 도입하지 않고 시행착오기법에 기반을 두면서도 접촉문제에 대한 반복해의 수렴성 및 안정성을 보장한다. 또한 gap요소를 이용한 접촉 알고리즘은 코드화가 용이하므로, 기존의 복잡한 알고리즘에 대한 좋은 대안이 될 것이다.

A subdomain-interface finite element method is suggested to solve a class of fully- coupled thermomechanical problems with contact boundaries. The penalty method is used for connecting subdomains that satisfy interface compatibility conditions. As a result, effective stiffness matrices are always positive definite, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. Moreover, any complex-shaped domain can be divided into independently modeled subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes on interfaces. Using a computer code based on the present method, these advantageous features are shown through a set of numerical studies.

Subdomain-interface variational formulation is presented to solve a class of dynamic contact problems of composite structures. The penalty method is used for imposing inequality constraints on contact surfaces and for connecting finite element subdomains that satisfy interface compatibility conditions. As a result, any complex-shaped domain can be easily divided into independently modeled subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes on interfaces. Some advantageous features of the present method are shown through a set a numerical studies with a developed computer code.

Certain structural components are exposed to high temperatures. At high temperature, under thermal and mechanical loading, metal components exhibit both creep and plastic behavior. The unified constitutive theory is to model both the time-dependent behavior(creep) and the time-independent behavior(plasticity) in one set of equations. Microscopically both creep and plasticity are controlled by the motion of dislocations. A finite element method is presented encorporating a unified constitutive model for the transient analysis of viscoplastic behavior of structures exposed to high temperature.
