This paper presents a novel hybrid time-frequency-domain method for nonlinear soil-structure interaction(SSI) analysis. It employs, in a practical manner, a computer code for equivalent linear SSI analysis and a general-purpose nonlinear finite element program. The proposed method first (calculates dynamic responses on a truncated finite element boundary utilizing an equivalent linear SSI program in the frequency domain. Then, a general purpose nonlinear finite element program is employed to analyze the nonlinear SSI problem in the time domain, in which boundary conditions at the truncated boundary are imposed with the responses calculated in the previous frequency domain SSI analysis, In order to validate the proposed method, seismic response analyses are carried out for a 2-D underground subway station in a multi-layered half-space, For the analyses, a equivalent linear SSI code KIESSI-2D is coupled to ANSYS program. The numerical results indicate that the proposed methodology can be a viable solution for nonlinear SSI problems.

A rectangular ceramic dielectric antenna, placed on the top of a ground plane and fed by coaxial probe, is analyzed by using the finite element method. To verify the proposed code, a rectangular ceramic dielectric antenna was fabricated and the characteristics of antenna were measured. The numerical data obtained is in good agreements with experimental result. Thus we checked the validity of our FEM code, and it can be possible to extend the analysis of the arbitrary 3-D antenna on a ground plane fed by coaxial probe.

본 연구에서는 가상일 원리로 부터 유한 요소 수식화를 updated-Lagrangian 형태로 유도하였으며, 유도된 수식화를 연속체 유한 요소로 유한 근사화 하였다. 이 때 초소성 재료의 거동은 비압축성, 비선형 점성 유ㄷ옹으로 묘사하였다. 유한 요소 프로그램은 성형 기구 해석과 하중 압력을 제어하는 기법으로 구성되어 있으며 하중 압력의 제어는 성형 시간이 최소가 되게 하기 위하여 변형률 속도 민감 계수가 최대가 되고, 국부 변형에 의한 두께 감소를 방지하며 변형률 속도는 일정하게 유지되면서 성 형이 될 수 있도록 하였다. 즉 하중 압력 제어는 상당 변형률 속도가 최대가 되게하 여 성형 시간을 최소화하게 구성하였다.개발된 유한 요소 프로그램은 정수압 벌징 가공에 적용하였으며 최적 압력 시간 선도, 성형 형상, 두께 및 두께 변형률 분포, 상 당 변형률 분포 등을 구하였다.

복합재료는 강도-무게비가 다른 재료들에 비해 훨씬 크기 때문에 부재의 좌굴문제가 대단히 중요하게 취급되며, 본 논문에서는 축방향 압축력을 받는 복합재료로 된 쉘 부재의 좌굴해석이 수행된다. 이 재료는 일반적으로 이방성 재료 특성을 나타내 보이나, 섬유들이 한 방향으로만 배치되어 있는 경우 섬유방향에 연직한 평면에서의 강도나 탄성계수들은 모두 일정한 횡 등방성 재료성질을 가진 것으로 간주할 수 있다. 9 절점 degenerate 쉘 유한요소를 사용한 선형안정해석, LUSAS 범용 프로그램을 이용한 구조해석, 그리고 고전적 쉘 좌굴방정식에 의한 해석들을 수행하였으며, 그 결과들을 서로 비교, 분석하였다. 고려된 등방성 재료나 횡 등방성 재료의 경우 모두, degenerate 유한요소해석으로 계산한 임계하중들은 고전적 이론해에 의한 결과들 보다 낮았으며, LUSAS 결과들과는 거의 같았다. 이는 degenerate 유한요소에 의한 선형안정해석 결과들이 안전측에 듬을 의미하며, 복합재료로 된 쉘 구조물의 좌굴해석에 degenerate 유한요소를 효율적으로 적용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

In this paper, the critical strains for pavement design were calculated from both Layered Elastic Program (LEP) and Finite Element Method (FEM) and the case studies which give similar critical responses were compared. Although FEM has been realized as a superior model, LEP is more favorable to pavement design due to its simplicity and thus, the technique to calculate the correct critical responses using LEP is significant. This study showed that KENLAYER can possibly estimate the critical responses close to ones obtained from TTIPAVE, which considers nonlinear cross-anisotropic behavior of unbound base materials, by adjusting the stress point locations.

In this paper, a software framework that integrates computational and experimental simulation has been developed to simulate and test a large-scale structural system under earthquake loading. The proposed software framework does not need development of the computer codes for both dynamic and static simulations. Any general-purpose software can be utilized with a main control module and interface APIs. This opens up a new opportunity to facilitate use of sophisticated finite elements into hybrid simulation regime to enhance accuracy and efficiency of simulations. The software framework described in the paper is modular and uses object oriented programming concepts. A series of illustrative examples demonstrate that the system is fully-functional and is capable of running any number of experimental and/or analytical components.

For the numerical analysis of free oscillation characteristics in a harbor with general boundary and bottom topography, finite element method is applied. The governing Helmholtz equation is transformed into a generalized matrix eigenvalue problem using the standard finite element procedure. A computer code is developed for the numerical evaluation of natural frequencies and free oscillation modes. In the eigensolution process, a shifting strategy is devised for the treatment of numerical singularity. Scaling of coefficient matrix is also found to be effective for the alleviation of numerical ill-conditioning. For the test problems, firstly, analytical and numerical solutions are compared and validity of the code is obtained. Hence the method is successfully applicable for the real-world problems with general geometric boundaries and bottom topography.

In order to evaluate the vibrational characteristics of huge finite element models such as ships and offshore structures, it is essential to perform eigenvalue analysis and frequency response analysis. However, these analyzes necessitate excessive equipment and computation time, which require the development of a high-performance analysis program. In particular, a considerable computational analysis time is required when calculating the inverse matrix in a linear system of equations and analyzing the eigenvalue analysis. Therefore, it can be improved by applying the latest high-performance library. In this paper, the vibration analysis program that enables fast and accurate analysis was developed by applying 'PARDISO', a parallel linear system of equation calculation library, and 'ARPACK', a high-performance eigenvalue analysis library. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of proposed method, we compare ABAQUS with proposed program using numerical examples of marine engineering.

In this paper, a finite element formulation was introduced for the three-dimensional cure simulation of composite structures. Based on the formulation, a three-dimensional finite element code was developed. Numerical examples found in the literatures were solved for code verification. Results from the present analyses agreed well with the measured cure-induced temperatures. Unlike in one or two dimensional analysis, temperature and degree of cure were able to be calculated at any point within composite structures in the present analysis. The finite element program can be used for the cure simulation of composite structures with arbitrary geometry under non-uniform autoclave temperature distribution.

In this paper, the frontal method based elastic-plastic F.E.M. program for mini-computer was developed. Since, the executable source program size was restricted by the system core memory size on the mini-computer, the active variables were memorized by the element base and the nonactive varables were memorized to the external disc file. The active variables of the finally developed program were reduced enough to execute about 1,000 freedom finite element on the mini-computer on which available variables were restricted as 32,767 integers. A modified CT fracture test specimen was examined to test the developed program. The calculated results were compared with experimental results concerning on the crack tip plastic deformation zone. Recrystallization technique was adopted to visualize the intensive plastic deformation regions. The Von-Mises criterion based calculation results were well agreed with the experimental results in the intensive plastic region which was over than 2% offset strain. The F.E.M. results using the developed program were well agreed with the theoritical plastic boundary which was calculated by the stress intensity factor as r$_{p}$=(K$_{1}$$^{2}$/2.pi..sigma.$_{y}$$^{2}$).f(.theta.).).).
