The authors suggest the algorithm for the static analysis of a three dimensional solid structure by using the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method (FE-TSCM) and the hexahedral element of the finite element method (FEM). MATLAB codes were made by both FE-TSCM and FEM for the static analysis of three dimensional solid structure. They were applied to the static analyses of a very thick plate structure and a three dimensional solid structure. In this paper, as we compare the results of FE-TSCM with those of FEM, we confirm that FE-TSCM introducing the hexahedral element for the static analysis of a three dimensional solid structure is very effective from the viewpoint of the computational accuracy, speed, and storage.

In order to decrease remarkably the computation time and storage used in the direct integration method without the loss of accuracy, authors suggest a new transient analysis algorithm. This algorithm is derived from the combination of three techniques, that is, the transfer technique of the transfer stiffness coefficient method, the modeling technique of the finite element method, and the numerical integration technique of the Newmark method. In this paper, the transient analysis algorithm of a frame structure is formulated by the proposed method. The accuracy and computation efficiency of the proposed method are demonstrated through the comparing with the computation results by the direct integration method for three computation models under various excitations.

The vibration analysis of a rectangular plate with stiffeners is formulated by using the transfer stiffness coefficient method (TSCM). This method is based on the concept of the successive transmission of stiffness coefficients which are defined as the relationship between the force vector and the displacement vector at an arbitrary nodal line. In order to confirm the validity of the present method, bending vibration analysis for a rectangular plate with stiffener is carried out on a personal computer by using the present method and the finite element method (FEM). Through comparing computational results of the TSCM and the FEM, the effectivness of the TSCM from the viewpoint of computational cost, that is, computational time and storage is demonstrated.

It is important to compute the structural analysis of plate structures in structural design. In this paper, the author uses the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method (FE-TSCM) for the structural analysis of plate structures. The FE-TSCM is based on the concept of the successive transmission of the transfer stiffness coefficient method and the modeling technique of the finite element method (FEM). The algorithm for in-plane structural analysis of a rectangular plate structure is formulated by using the FE-TSCM. In order to confirm the validity of the FE-TSCM for structural analysis of plate structures, two numerical examples for the in-plane structural analysis of a plate with triangular elements and the bending structural analysis of a plate with rectangular elements are computed. The results of the FE-TSCM are compared with those of the FEM on a personal computer.

셀구조물은 선박, 항공기, 우주선 등의 산업분야에 자주 사용되는 중요한 구조요소로서, 이에 대한 연구도 공학적 필요성에 의해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. Maddox등의 Rayleigh-Ritz법, Srinivasan and Bobby의 적분방정식 기법, Petyt의 유한요소법, Irie, Henderson등의 전달매트릭스법, 그 외 Webster, Petyt and Deb Nath, Blevins, Srinivasan and Krishnan등에 의해 여러가지 해석방법의 진동해석이 행해져 왔다. 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 매트릭스 구조해석 및 진동해석 방법으로는 유한요소법과 전달매트릭스법을 들 수 있다. 유한요소법은 범용적인 해석 프로그램의 개발은 수월하지만 대규모의 선형 연립방정식의 해법에 귀착되므로, 기억용량이 큰 대형컴퓨터가 필요하고, 반면 전달매트릭스법은 기억용량이 적은 퍼스널컴퓨터로도 계산수행이 가능하나 고차의 고유진동수를 구할 경우나, 중간에 단단한 경탄성지지가 존재할 경우 등에는 수치계산상의 문제점이 지적되고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로, 상태변수를 바꾸어 넣은 Riccati방법, 각 절점의 기지의 상태변수를 제거하는 Frontal법, 전달매트릭스와 강성매트릭스를 결합시키는 방법 등이 보고 되고 있다. 이에 자자들은 퍼스널컴퓨터 이용에 적합한 고속, 고정도의 구조해석 및 진동해석 기법으로 전달영향계수법을 제안하여, 원판구조물, 사각판구조물, 원통형 셀구조물 등의 여러가지 형상구조물의 자유진동 해석에 적용해서, 종래의 전달매트릭스법에 비해 계산정도 및 계산속도의 양면에서 매우 우수함을 보고한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 동적영향계수의 축차전달에 그 개념을 두고 있는 전달영향계수법을 좀 더 일반화시키고 체계화시키기 위하여 탄성지지를 갖는 셀구조물에 적용하여 자유진동 해석 알고리즘을 정식화한 후, 간단한 모델에 대한 수치실험을 통해서 전달 영향계수법으로 구한 해를 전달매트릭스법의 결과와 비교.검토하여 본 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

The finite element method(FEM) is the most widely used and powerful method for structural analysis. In general, in order to analyze complex and large structures, we have used the FEM. However, it is necessary to use a large amount of computer memory and computation time for solving accurately by the FEM the dynamic problem of a system with many degree-of-freedom, because the FEM has to deal with very large matrices in this case. Therefore, it was very difficult to analyze the vibration for plate structures with a large number of degrees of freedom by the FEM on a personal computer. For overcoming this disadvantage of the FEM without the loss of the accuracy, the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method(FE-TSCM) was developed. The concept of the FE-TSCM is based on the combination of modeling technique in the FEM and the transfer technique in the transfer stiffness coefficient method(TSCM). The merit of the FE-TSCM is to take the advantages of both methods, that is, the convenience of the modeling in the FEM and the computation efficiency of the TSCM. In this paper, the forced vibration analysis algorithm of plate structures is formulated by the FE-TSCM. In order to illustrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the FE-TSCM, results of frequency response analysis for a rectangular plate, which was adopted as a computational model, were compared with those by the modal analysis method and the direct analysis method which are based on the FEM.

Complex and large lattice type structures are frequently used in design of bridge, tower, crane and aerospace structures. In general, in order to analyze these structures we have used the finite element method(FEM). This method is the most widely used and powerful method for structural analysis lately. However, it is necessary to use a large amount of computer memory and computational time because the FEM requires many degrees of freedom for solving dynamic problems exactly for these complex and large structures. For analyzing these structures on a personal computer, the authors developed the transfer stiffness coefficient method(TSCM). This method is based on the concept of the transfer of the nodal dynamic stiffness coefficient matrix which is related to force and displacement vector at each node. And we suggested TSCM for free vibration analysis of complex and large lattice type structures in the previous report. In this paper, we formulate forced vibration analysis algorithm for complex and large lattice type structures using extened TSCM. And we confirmed the validity of TSCM through computational results by the FEM and TSCM, and experimental results for lattice type structures with harmonic excitation.

In this paper, the algorithm for the static analysis of an axisymmetric cylindrical shell by using the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method (FE-TSCM) is suggested. TE-TSCM combining both the modeling procedure of the finite element method (FEM) and the transfer procedure of the transfer stiffness coefficient method (TSCM) has the advantages of FEM and TSCM. After computational programs are made by both FE-TSCM and FEM for the stress analysis of the axisymmetric cylindrical shell, we compare the numerical results by FE-TSCM with those of FEM for two computational models in order to confirm the trust of FE-TSCM.

To analyze accurately the free vibration of a structure by using the finite element method (FEM), we model the structure as a numerical model with many degrees-of-freedom. However the FEM needs much computation time and storage in this case. The authors developed the finite element-transfer stiffness coefficient method (FE-TSCM) for overcoming the drawback of the FEM. In this paper, the authors apply the FE-TSCM to the in-plane free vibration analysis of plates with various shapes. Two numerical examples, a rectangular plate and a triangular plate, are used to compare the results of the FE-TSCM and the FEM. Through the numerical calculation, we confirm that the FE-TSCM can be applied to the plates with various shapes and is effective to in-plane free vibration analysis of plates.
