The purpose of this study is to analyze the deflection of the prestressed beams. In this paper, a finite element model for deflections of prestressed beams is presented. Proposed finite element model was verified comparing with existing experimental results, and it showed a good agreement with the experimental results. Also, a parametric study has been conducted to analyze the influence of eccentricity, span-depth ratio, and prestressing force. The finite element model results were compared with hand calculation results. Deflections were increased as the eccentricity decreases, the span-depth ratio increases, and the prestressing force decreases. Hand calculation overestimated the deflection when the eccectricity or prestressing force is too small.

This study proposes a finite element analysis method that can analyze the vibration of a beam by considering the inertia effect of moving masses in a vertical direction. The proposed method is effective when a precise interaction analysis is not required. The inertial effects of the moving masses are included in the equation of motion, and the interaction forces between the masses and the beam are considered only as external loads. Time domain analyses were performed using Abaqus, a general-purpose finite element analysis software, and an implementation method using multi-point constraints wais presented to link the displacements of the beam element nodes and moving rigid masses. The proposed method was verified by comparing its solution with that obtained using an existing analytical method, and the analysis results for continuous beam vibrations under dynamic gait loadings were used to examine the mass effect of pedestrians.

Circular concrete-filled tubes (CFTs) are composite members, which consists of a steel tube and concrete infill. CFTs have been used as building columns and bridge piers due to several advantages such as their strength-to-size efficiency and facilitation of rapid construction. Extensive experimental studies about CFT have been conducted for past decades. However experimental results alone are not sufficient to support the engineering of these components. Complementary advanced numerical models are needed to simulate the behavior of CFT to extend the experimental research and develop predictive tools required for design and evaluation of structural systems. In this study, a finite element modeling technique for CFT was developed. The confinement effects, and behavior of CFT subjected various types of loading predicted by the proposed finite element model for CFT were verified by comparing with test results.

In this study, analytical investigations on the flexural behavior of FRP reinforced concrete slab were discussed. In the derivation of analytic solution, the FRP reinforced concrete slab was modeled as a structural orthotropic plate. To determine the flexural rigidities of an orthotropic plate model, the elastic equivalence method was employed. In the finite element analysis, the approximate method to determine the rigidity matrix of orthotropic plate element was also suggested using the elastic equivalence method. The results obtained by the analytical solution and the finite element analysis were compared with that of experiment.

In this study floor impact noise and structure acceleration response of bare concrete slabs were predicted by using Finite Element Analysis(FEA). Prediction results were compared with experimental results to prove the accuracy of numerical model. Acoustic absorption were addressed by using panel impedance coefficients with frequency characteristics and structural modal damping of numerical model were applied by modal testing results and analysis of prediction and test results. By using frequency response function, the floor acceleration and acoustic pressure responses for various impact sources were calculated at the same time. In the FEA, the natural frequencies and the shapes of vibration and acoustic modes can be estimated through the eigen-value analysis, and it can be visually seen the vibration and sound pressure field and the contribution of major modes.

The waveguide finite element (WFE) method is a useful numerical technique to investigate wave propagation along waveguide structures which have uniform cross-sections along the length direction ('x' direction). In the present paper, the vibration and radiated noise of the submerged pipe with fluid is investigated numerically by coupling waveguide finite elements and wavenumber boundary elements. The pipe and internal fluid are modelled with waveguide finite elements and the external fluid with wavenumber boundary elements which are fully coupled. In order to examine this model, the point mobility, dispersion curves and radiated power are calculated and compared for several different coupling conditions between the pipe and internal/external fluids.

This paper presents the numerical results of six corrugation models which compute the stress behaviours and stress levels of the membrane structure under the hydrostatic pressure of cryogenic liquids and thermal loadings using a non -linear finite element analysis program. A three-dimensional analysis of various corrugation geometries was performed on the maximum mean normal stress distributions along the upper surface of the membrane sheet. Comparisons of the FEM results for various geometry models of the corrugation are presented, which shows that the corrugated configuration of the ring knot model can be effectively performed for the combined forces such as the hydrostatic pressure and thermal loading in comparison with the Technigaz type corrugation which has small comer and apex curvatures. The FEM results show that the ring knot corrugation can be used for the deepest depth, 180m of the LNG storage tank in comparison with other corrugation models.

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.
