The behavior of horizontally curved I-girder bridges is complex because the flexural and torsional behavior of curved girders are coupled due to their initial curvature. Also, the behavior is affected by cross beams. To investigate the behavior of horizontally curved I-girder bridges, it is necessary to consider curved girders with cross beams. In order to perform free vibration analyses of horizontally curved I-girder bridges, a finite element formulation is presented here and a finite element analysis program is developed. The formulation that is presented here consists of curved and straight beam elements, including the warping degree of freedom. Based on the theory of thin-walled curved beams, the shape functions of the curved beam elements are derived from homogeneous solutions of the static equilibrium equations. Third-order hermits polynomials are used to form the shape functions of the straight beam elements. In the finite element analysis program, global stiffness and mass matrix are composed, based on the Cartesian coordinate system. The Gupta method is used to efficiently solve the eigenvalue problem. Comparing the results of several examples here with those of previous studies, the formulation presented is verified. The validity of the program developed is shown by comparing results with those analyzed by the shell element.

Recently, earthquakes have occurred throughout the entire region of Korea and seismic analysis studies have been actively conducted in various fields. SSI analyses studies considering ground have been carried out consistently. However, few comparative analyses have been performed on the dynamic behavior of buildings according to numerical analysis method in the case of the previous dynamic analyses considering grounds. Therefore, in this study, the dynamic analyses were performed on a high-rise building by using both a finite element program MIDAS GTS NX and a finite difference program FLAC 2D. The results were compared and analyzed each other. As a result, both the maximum compressive and tensile bending stresses of above ground and below ground part were estimated to be a little larger by MIDAS GTS NX than by FLAC 2D. However, the maximum horizontal displacement value, the horizontal displacement distribution, and the position of weak part were turned out to be similar in both analysis programs. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no difference in using either a finite element program or a finite difference program for the convenience of a user for a dynamic analysis.

As a consequent result of our previous paper, "Development of Automatic Data Generation Program for Finite Element Structural Analysis of Oil Tankers"[1], the objective of this paper is to develop an automatic modeling program for the three-dimensional finite element structural analysis of hull modules of general commercial ships, especially oil tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships. Based on the proposed algorithm in [1], the followings are newly added: general applicability for three ship types, automatic mesh division interface with MSC/NASTRAN, direct wave load calculation interface, and Graphic User Interface technology in the process of input data preparation. The usefulness of this procedure is verified by calculation examples. examples.

In order to overcome shortcomings of commercial analysis program for solving certain geotechnical problems, finite element method adopting isoparametric quadrilateral element was selected as a tool for analyzing soil behavior and calculating process was programmed. Two examples were considered in order to verify reliability of the developed program. One of the two examples is the case of acting isotropic confining pressure on finite element and the other is the case of acting shear stress on the sides of the finite element. Isoparametric quadrilateral element was considered as the finite element and displacements in the element can be expressed by node displacements and shape functions in the considered element. Calculating process for determining strain which is defined by derivatives using global coordinates was coded using the Jacobian and the natural coordinates. Four point Gauss rule was adopted to convert double integral which defines stiffness of the element into numerical integration. As a result of executing analysis of the finite element under isotropic confining pressure, calculated stress corresponding to four Gauss points and center of the element were equal to the confining pressure. In addition, according to the analyzed results for the element under shear stress, horizontal stresses and vertical stresses were varied with positions in the element and the magnitudes and distribution pattern of the stresses were thought to be rational.

Numerical eigen analysis of beam-like structure can be easily and effectively done by various conventional beam theory-based methods. However, in case of the structures composed of composite-sectioned beams, the application of conventional numerical methods requires one to derive both equivalent material and geometry properties. In the present paper, these equivalent properties are derived by the transformed section method and the test FEM program is coded. The numerical accuracy of the proposed method is verified through the comparison with the ANSYS 3-D model.

본 연구는 판에 존재하는 유공형상에 따른 응력 집중 해석이다. 일반으로 판은 가공이 쉽고 제작이 편리하여 그 사용이 많다. 이러한 판의 연결에는 원형의 유공을 이용하는 경우가 많고 구조물의 중량감소를 목적으로 유공을 만드는 경우도 있다. 그러나 판에 존재하는 유공의 경우 응력 집중으로 인한 균열생성과 같은 단점을 가진다. 이를 보완하기 위해 유공부의 최적설계 및 응력해석과 같은 많은 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원형, 정사각형과 정삼각형의 유공을 유한 요소 프로그램을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하고 유공형상에 따라 판에 발생하는 응답을 알아보았다. 또한 원형유공의 응답을 기준으로 정사각형과 정삼각형 유공의 모서리의 곡률반경을 변화시켰을 때 발생하는 응답을 비교하였다. 상용 유한 요소 프로그램인 ANSYS/Workbench를 사용하여 인장응력하의 유공판의 응답 해석을 수행하였으며 얻어진 결과를 유공의 형상, 곡률반경의 변화에 따라 분석하였다.

본 연구는 수중 강판에 존재하는 결함탐지를 위한 탄성파 유한요소 시뮬레이션이다. 일반적으로 수중 강판은 외부의 물로 인하여 결함의 탐지가 어렵다. 이러한 수중 강판의 결함탐지에는 잠수부가 수중 강판 표면에 비파괴 검사 장비를 활용하여 결함을 탐지하는 경우가 많으며 잠수부의 경험과 많은 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수중강판의 표면이 아닌 수중에서 탄성파를 발생시켰을 경우 수중 강판의 결함탐지 유한요소 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 손상의 위치와 손상의 크기에 따라 발생하는 응답을 알아보았다. 강판의 상하부에 기계적인 손상이 발생한 경우를 손상 시나리오로 가정하고 해석을 수행하였다. 손상이 없는 경우의 응답을 기준으로 강판의 상부와 하부에 기계적인 손상이 있는 경우에 발생하는 응답을 비교하였다. 동적유한요소 프로그램인 ANSYS/LS-DYNA를 사용하여 결함탐지 해석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 손상의 종류에 따라 응답신호의 진폭 감소가 나타났으며 손상의 크기가 커질수록 진폭 감소가 커지는 결과를 나타내었다.

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.
