An adaptive mesh generation scheme is developed for effective non-linear analysis of the shell structures under large deformation. In particular, based on a posteriori error estimation, remeshing method on each load step is of primary interest here. An advancing front method, called paving method, is adopted for remeshing. It can be known that the adaptive mesh generation using contours of spacing values obtained from stress errors has an advantage in the adaptive analysis of the shell structures.

One of the characteristics of Delaunay-Voronoii methods of mesh generation is local remeshing ability in comparison with other methods, which is very useful in adaptive finite element applications. Main part of the process is to construct remeshing element group out of the whole elements and to remesh it. Adjacent element array, accompanied with an additional algorithm of several lines, is introduced to make the process simple so that implementation of the concept is possible at the level of general PC users.

In this paper, a novel moving least squares interface welding method is proposed to carry out the coupled analysis of whole model composed of independently modeled finite element substructures with nodal mismatching interfaces. To verify the validity, and efficiency of the proposed interface welding method, various numerical examples are worked out including patch tests, convergence tests, and examples of coupled analyses of the structural systems with mismatching substructures. From the numerical tests, it is confirmed that one can efficiently carry out the coupled analysis of whole model composed of mismatching finite element substructures through the proposed method without any remeshing or any additional unknown.

The nonlinear finite element program has been developed to analyze the design performance of an artificial hip prosthesis and long term behavior of a treated femur with stems made of composite material after cementless total hip arthroplasty(THA). The authors developed the three dimentional FEM models of femoral bone with designed composite stem which was taken with elliptic cross section of 816 brick elements under hip contact load and muscle farce in simulating single leg stand. Using the program, density changes, stress distributions and micromotions of the material femoral bone were evaluated by changing fiber orientation of stems for selected manufacturing method such as plate cut and bend mold. The results showed that the composite materials such as AS4/PEEK and T300/976 gave less bone resorption than the metallic material such as cobalt chrome alloy, titanium alloy and stainless steal. It was found that increasing the long term stability of the prosthesis in the femur could be obtained by selecting the appropriate ply orientation and stacking sequence of composite.

In the present study, Loop scheme is applied to generate smooth surfaces. To be consistent with the limit points of target surface, the initial sampling points are properly rearranged. The pointwise errors of curvature and position in the sequence of subdivision process are evaluated in the Loop subdivision scheme. A first-order shear deformable Loop subdivision triangular element which can handle transverse shear deformation of moderately thick shell are developed. The developed element is more general than the previous one based on classical shell theory, since the new one includes the effect of transverse shear deformation and has standard six degrees of freedom per node. The quartic box spline function is used as interpolation basis function. Numerical examples for the benchmark static shell problems are analyzed to assess the performance of the developed subdivision shell element and locking trouble.

다양한 신재생 에너지 발전 중에서 수력발전은 풍력발전과 더불어 탄소배출이 가장 적은 에너지 발전 중 하나이며, 정부의 "2050 탄소중립" 발표에 따라 근래 수력발전에 대한 관심이 증폭되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 국내의 지리적 특성상 수력발전의 규모가 국외에 비해 소규모이며, 대규모 수력발전의 경우에도 설치가능지역이 고갈되어 다수의 소규모 수력 발전소 설치라는 방향성이 불가피한 현실이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 유한요소법을 이용하여 소규모 수력발전에 가장 많이 사용되는 콘크리트 댐 형상에 대한 구조해석을 실시하고 정수압 하에서 각 콘크리트 댐의 변형 거동 및 안정성을 분석하였다.

The shape of weld nuggest in arc spot welding of 304 stainless steel was found by searching thermal history of a weld joint through a three-dimensional finite element model. The problem consists of one in which the finite element mesh is growing continuously in time in order to accomodate metal transfer in arc spot welding using element rebirth technique. The analysis was performed on the basis of experimental results. The finite element program MARC, along with a few user subroutines, was employed to obtain the numerical results. Temperature-dependent thermal properties, stir effect in weld pool, effect of phase transformation, and the convective and radiative boundary conditions are included in the model. Numerically predicted shape of weld nuggest is compared with the experimentally observed shape.

This study aims at investigating the undrained behavior of the normally consolidated clay foundation using single hardening constitutive model based on elasticity and plasticity theories. The specimen employed was sampled at Mooan near the down stream of Young San river and remolded into consolidation apparatus. 11 soil parameters for the model was determined from simple tests such as isotropic compression and consolidation undrained triaxial compression tests. FEM program to predict the undrained behavior of the foundation was developed and back analysis was performed to verify prediction ability of the FEM program. Finally plate load test on the 2-dimensional model foundation was carried out in order to compare numerical analysis and observed values on the foundation.

제품 개발 초기 단계에서 제품의 개념을 신속하게 구체화하여 제품의 기능, 구성, 부품 간 관계, 치수 및 간단한 형상들을 정의한 후, 검증(해석 및 실험)을 통해 가장 최적화된 설계 결과를 얻는다. 그러나 이 과정에서 일반적으로 설계 정보를 바탕으로 해석을 수행하기 위한 모델을 새롭게 생성해야 하는 문제가 있다. 또한 설계 변경이 발생하는 경우에는 도면을 다시 작성하고 해석 모델이 재생성 및 부품 생성을 위하여 데이터 입력을 다시 해야 한다. 이러한 문제는 선박의 초기 설계 및 해석 분야에서도 발견할 수 있다.(중략)

태양열을 이용한 발전은 신재생에너지 사업으로 현재 각광을 받고 있는 분야 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 3kv급 태양열 집전기를 유한요소법을 이용하여 돌풍이 불 때 풍하중에 의한 안전성을 평가하였다. 태양열 집전기는 옥외에 설치가 되므로 바람에 대한 영향을 가장 많이 받게 되는데 풍하중은 특히 강한 태풍이 불 때에 가장 높은 설계변수로 자중이나 프레임이 태양을 트레킹 할 때 생기는 동역학적인 변수보다도 크게 된다. 기존에 풍압력에 대한 산술식이 있지만 구조에 따라 적용하는 방법이 다르므로 돌풍이 불 때의 풍속을 적용, 유한요소법을 이용하여 우선 플레이트 프레임 표면에 발생하는 표면 압력을 계산하였다. 구한 표면 압력으로부터 플레이트 부분에 작용하는 하중으로 환산을 구조물에 대입하였고, 구조물이 크고 Mesh수에 문제로 인해 프레임을 두 부문으로 나누어서 포스트 부문과 플레이트 부분에 적용하여 해석하였다. 포스트의 경우에는 플레이트에서 받은 풍하중을 벡터로 나누어서 적용하였고 플레이트 부분에서 작용하는 자중을 고려하여 적용하였다. 플레이트의 경우 돌풍에 안정적이라 하더라도 변형량이 높을 경우를 적용하였다. 포스트 부분과 플레이트 연결부에서도 보강을 통하여 적정범위의 응력이 집전기에 문제가 발생할 수 있으므로 적정한 범위의 변형량을 유지하기 위해 설계변경 하여 안전한 구조물이 되도록 하였다.
