본 연구는 곡선좌표계에서 유한차분기법(finite difference method)을 이용하여 2차원 흐름이 모의가능한 수치모형을 개발하는 것이다. 기존의 연구는 대부분 직교좌표계(cartesian coordinate system)에서의 격자망을 대상으로 개발되고 적용되었기 때문에 불규칙한 흐름의 경계 및 형상을 올바로 표현하기 어려웠다. 유한요소법이나 유한체적법같은 수치모의기법들이 개발되어 비구조격자체계를 구성하고 자연현상에 가까운 경계 표현할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 하지만 위의 기법들은 질량과 운동량과 같은 물리량을 보존하기 위해서 매우 조밀한 격자체계를 가져야만 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 곡선좌표계(curvilinear coordinate system)를 이용하여 지배방정식을 표현하고 2차원 흐름을 모의할 수 있는 모형을 구축한다. 수치모형은 leap-frog기법과 1차 정확도의 풍상차분기법(upwind scheme)을 사용하여 구성하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모형을 사각수조 및 만곡수로흐름에 적용하여 모의결과를 해석해 및 실험관측값과 비교하였다. 이로부터 본 수치모형이 해석해 및 실측치와 잘 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the electromagnetic field characteristics of array antenna with the finite difference-time domain algorithm. Finite difference equations of Maxwell's equations are defined in cylindrical coordinate systems. To simulate the unbounded problem like a free space, the Mur's absorbing boundary condition is also used. After modeling the array antenna with the grid structure, the transient response of the field distribution is depicted in the time domain.

The solution of anisotropic plate via the classical methods is limited to relatively load and boundary conditions. If these conditions are more complex, the analysis becomes increasingly tedious and even impossible. For many plate problems of considerable practical interest, analytic solutions to the governing differential equations cannot be found. Among the numerical techniques presently available, the finite difference method and the finite element method are powerful numerical methods. The objective of this paper is to compare with each numerical methods for the buckling load and modes of anisotropic composite laminated plates considering shear deformation. In applying numerical methods to solve differential equations of anisotropic plates, this study uses the finite difference method and the finite element method. In determining the eigenvalue by Finite Difference Method, this paper represent good convergence compared with Finite Element Method. Several numerical examples and buckling modes show the effectiveness of various numerical methods and they will give a guides in deciding minimum buckling load and various mode shapes.

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.

유한요소법의 전산유체 역학분야에 대한 응용현황을 계산방법과 적용례를 중심으로 정리하였다. 유한요소법의 가장 큰 장점은 복잡한 유동영역을 해석하기 위한 불규칙 요소망(unstructured mesh)의 사용이라 볼 수 있으며 적응적 요소망을 이용하여 계산의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 것 또한 강점이라 할 수 있다. 다만 불규칙 요소망 사용으로 인해 수반되는 대수 방정식 계산시간 및 기억용량의 증가는 conjugate gradient 방법 등을 이용하여 반드시 해결되어야만 한다. 지금 까지 유한요소법을 이용한 계산방법을 개발해 오는 과정을 보면 유한차분법에서 오래 전에 개 발된 방법들을 도입한 경우가 많았으며 특히 난류 및 개발된 경우가 많으며 대부분의 경우 이 들을 그대로 도입, 이용하였다. 반대로 최근에 항공기 동체설계 분야를 중심으로 복잡한 형태의 유동영역을 해석이 요구되는 경우 유한차분법, 특히 유한체적법(finite volume method)에 삼각형 유한요소를 이용한 불규칙 요소망을 도입하여 성공적으로 이용하고 있다. 따라서 전산유체 역 학의 발전을 위하여 두 분야의 유기적인 협조가 필요하며 결과적으로 전산유체 역학기법이 완 전히 기계설계의 한 분야로 정립될 수 있도록 많은 노력이 필요하다고 본다.

편미분 방정식의 형태로 나타나는 많은 전자기장 문제들을 유한요소법이나 유한차분법 등의 수치해석적 방법으로 해결하려는 경우 시스템 행렬을 구성하게 된다. 이때 해석영역의 요소수가 많을수록 행렬의 조건수(condition number)는 다항식(polynomial) 증가를 갖게 되며, 이는 풀어야 할 선형시스템에서 반복 연산 과정의 속도를 떨어뜨리는 결과를 야기한다. 이러한 결과를 wavelet을 기저 함수로 쓰게 되면, 더 높은 분해능(resolution)의 해를 유한 요소법이나 유한 차분법에서와 같은 요소 분할 과정이 없이 Mallat 변환이라는 간단한 과정을 통해 구할 수 있으며, 본 논문에서는 Daubechies의 wavelet 함수를 기저 함수로 사용하여 전자기장 문제에 적용함으로서 수치해석에 있어서 wavelet 함수의 적용이 많은 장점을 갖고 있음을 보인다.

This study presents a moving least squares (MLS) finite difference method for solving elastic crack problems with stress singularity at the crack tip. Near-tip functions are intrinsically employed in the MLS approximation to model near-tip field inducing singularity in stress field. employment of the functions does not lose the merit of the MLS Taylor polynomial approximation which approximates the derivatives of a function without actual differentiating process. In the formulation of crack problem, computational efficiency is considerably improved by taking the strong formulation instead of weak formulation involving time consuming numerical quadrature Difference equations are constructed on the nodes distributed in computational domain. Numerical experiments for crack problems show that the intrinsically enriched MLS finite difference method can sharply capture the singular behavior of near-tip stress and accurately evaluate stress intensity factors.

In this paper, two dimensional concrete slabs for a railroad bridge were analyzed by the specially orthotropic laminates theory. Both the geometrical and material property of the cross section of the slab was considered symmetrically with respect to the neutral surface so that the bending extension coupling stiffness, $B_{ij}$ = 0, and $D_{16}=D_{26}=0$ Bridge deck behaves as specially orthotropic plates. In general, the analytical solution for such complex systems is very difficult to obtain. Thus, finite difference method was used for analysis of the problem. In this paper, the finite difference method and the beam theory were used for analysis.

In this paper, a post-tensioned reinforced concrete slab was analyzed by the specially orthotropic laminates theory. Both the geometrical and material property of the cross section of the slab was considered symmetrically with respect to the neutral surface so that the bending extension coupling stiffness, $B_{ij}=0$, and $D_{16}=D_{26}=0$. Reinforced concrete slab behave as specially orthotropic plates. In general, the analytical solution for such complex systems is very difficult to obtain. Thus, finite difference method was used for analysis of the problem. In this paper, the finite difference method and the beam theory were used for analysis. The result of beam analysis was modified to obtain the solution of the plate analysis.

It is very important to design and construct slopes safely because damage cases are increasing due to slope failure. Recently, Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) based programs are commonly used for slope designs. Though LEM can give factors of safety through simple calculation, it has a disadvantage that the sliding surface should be assumed in advance. On the other hand, the use of Finite Difference Method (FDM) is increasing since the factor of safety can be easily estimated by using shear strength reduction technique. Therefore the purpose of this study is to present a reasonable slope design methodology by comparing the two commonly used analysis approaches; LEM and FDM. To this end, the reinforcement effects of the two methods were compared in terms of the support pattern of soil nailing reinforced in the section where plane failure is anticipated. As a result, the reinforcement effects by nail angle and nail spacing turned out to be equal. Also it was found that the factor of safety increased in LEM, but not changed in FDM when the nail length increased.
