An analytical model was developed in this study and then implemented into a tool for automation of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) of a spindle system for natural frequencies and modes in the universal FEA software, ANSYS. VBA of EXCEL was used for the implementation. It allowed graphic user interfaces (GUIs) to be developed for a user to interact with the tool and, in addition, an EXCEL spreadsheet to be used for data arrangement. A code was developed in the language of ANSYS to generate the geometric model of the spindle system, sequentially to construct the analytical model based on the information in the GUIs, and finally to perform computation for the FEA. Its automation of the model generation and analysis can help to identify a near optimal design of the spindle system under design in minimum time and efforts.

뇌임펄스에 의한 절연유체 내 절연파괴 현상은 스트리머 채널에서의 유체유동과 기체유동이 동시에 발생한다. 스트리머 개시와 동시에 발생하는 기포들은 절연파괴에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 이를 모의해석하기위해서 2상유동이 고려되어야한다. 2상유동이 고려된 뇌임펄스 응답 유한요소해석은 전계에 의한 푸아송 방정식과 전자, 양이온, 음이온에 대한 전하연속방정식으로 구성되며 전계 방출과 열전자 방출효과를 경계조건으로 부여하였다. 기체 전리현상은 타운젠트 이론을 도입하였으며, 유체 전리현상은 제너 이온화 모델을 도입하여 수학적 모델링을 통한 2상유동으로 결합하였다.

In the shape optimal design based on h-version of FEM, the ideal mesh for the initial geometry most probably will not be suitable for the final analysis. Thus, it is necessary to remesh the geometry of the model at each stage of optimization. However, the p-version of FEM appears to be a very attractive alternative for use in shape optimization. The main advantages are as follows; firstly, the elements are not sensitive to distortion for interpolation polynomials of order $p{\geq}3$; secondly, even singular problems can be solved more efficiently with p-version than with the h-version by proper mesh design; thirdly, the initial mesh design are identical. The 2-D p-version model for shape optimization is presented on the basis of Bezier's curve fitting, gradient projection method, and integrals of Legendre polynomials. The numerical results are performed by p-version software RASNA.

In this study, the femur, the tibia, the articular cartilage and the menisci are three dimensionally reconstructed using MR images of healthy knee joint in full extension of 26-year-old male. Three dimensional finite element model of the knee joint is fabricated on the reconstructed model. Also, the FE models of ligaments and tendons are attached on the biologically suitable position of the FE model. Bones, articular cartilages and menisci are considered as homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic materials, and ligaments and tendons are modeled as truss element and nonlinear elastic springs. The numerical results show the contact pressure and the von Mises stress distribution in the soft tissues such as articular cartilages and menisci which can be regarded as important parameters to estimate the failure of the tissues and the pain of the patients.

The finite element method (FEM) has been used for various fields like mathematics and engineering. However, the FEM has a difficulty in describing the geometric shape exactly due to its property of piecewise linear discretization. Recently, however, a so-called isogeometric analysis method that uses the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS) basis function has been developed. The NURBS can be used to describe the geometry exactly and play a role of basis functions for the response analysis. Nevertheless, constructing the NURBS basis functions in analysis is as costly as a meshing process in the FEM. Since the isogeometric method shares geometric data with CAD, it is possible to intactly import the model data from commercial CAD tools. In this paper, we use the Rhinoceros 3D software to create CAD models and export in the form of STEP file. The information of knot vectors and control points in the NURBS is utilized in the isogeometric analysis. Through some numerical examples, the accuracy of isogeometric method is compared with that of FEM. Also, the efficiency of the isogeometric method that includes the CAD and CAE in a unified framework is verified.

A 9-node degenerated shell finite element(FE), which has been developed for assessment of ultimate pressure capacity and nonlinear analysis for nuclear containment building is described in this paper. Reissner-Midnlin(RM) assumptions are adopted to develop the shell FE so that transverse shear deformation effects is considered. Material model for concrete prior to cracking is constructed based on the equivalent stress-equivalent strain relationship. Tension stiffening model, shear transfer mechanism and compressive strength reduction model are used to model the material behavior of concrete after cracking. Niwa and Aoyagi-Yamada failure criteria have been adapted to find initial cracking point in compression-tension and tension-tension region, respectively. Finally, the performance of the developed program is tested and demonstrated with several examples. From the numerical tests, the present results show a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

An enhanced degenerated shell finite element (FE), which has been developed for inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete structures is described in this paper. Generally, Reissner-Mindlin (RM) assumptions are adopted to develop the degenerated shell FE so that transverse shear deformation effects is considered. However, it is found that there are serious defects such as locking phenomena in RM degenerated shell FE since the stiffness matrix has been overestimated in some situations. As remedies of locking phenomena, reduced integration, incompatible mode and assumed strain method have been used. Especially, the assumed strain method has been successfully used in many FEs. But contrarily, there is a few investigation on the performance of the assumed strains in the inelastic analysis of concrete structures. Therefore, shell formulation is provided in this paper with emphasis on the terms related to the stiffness matrix based on assumed strain method and microscopic concrete material model. Finally, the performance of the present shell element is tested and demonstrated with several numerical examples. From the numerical tests, the present result shows a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

Porosity in polymer matrix composites generated during pyrolysis process affect the thermomechanical behavior of the composites. In this paper, multislice finite element models for the porous composite materials are developed, and poroelastic and failure analysis for these models are performed. In order to investigate the three-dimensional effects, finite element meshes are modeled considering different porosity(up to 0.5) and the number of slices (up to five). As a result, effective Young's moduli and poroelastic parameters exhibit the maximum differences of 74.0% and 442.1% with respect to porosity respectively, and 98.7% and 37.2% with respect to the number of slices. First and last failure strengths are decreased 88.2% and 90.0% with respect to porosity respectively, and 53.8% and 171.8% with respect to the number of slices.
