It is important to understand the vibrating behavior of plate structures for its many engineering applications. In this study, the vibration characteristics of strip plates that have finite width and infinite length are investigated theoretically and numerically. The waveguide finite element(WFE) approach, which is an effective tool for studying waveguide structures, is used in this study. The WFE method requires only a cross-sectional finite element model, and uses theoretical harmonic solutions to assess wave propagation along the longitudinal direction. First, WFE results for a simple strip plate are compared with the theoretical results(i.e., dispersion diagrams and point mobilities) to validate the numerical model. Then, in the numerical analysis, different numbers of longitudinal stiffeners are included in the plate model to investigate the effects of stiffeners in terms of the dispersion curves and mobilities. Finally, the dispersion curves of a stiffened double plate are obtained to examine the characteristics of its wave propagation.

Two-element plate concept is incorporated into the buckling problem in order to simplify the nonlinear distribution of stress through the thickness of plate. Finite element formulations and programs based upon the Reissner functional and the modified Reissner functional using two-element plate concept are developed for buckling analysis of plates under axial compression. The two programs have been applied to obtain the linear elastic buckling behavior of axially compressed flat plates. Excellent agreement of linear elastic-solution results with exact or approximate solutions of other authors for the same boundary conditions proves the validity of the finite element method using two-element plate theory.

The present work is concerned with the improvement of finite element for the analysis of plate bending structures. The element formulation is based upon Mindlin plate concept. The displacement field of this element is formed by adding nonconforming modes to two rotational displacement components of a 'heterosis plate element. The element has the requisite numbers of zero eigenvalues associated with rigid body modes to avoid the spurious zero energy mode. It is shown that the results obtained by the element converged to the exact solutions very rapidly as the mesh is refined and exhibited reliable solutions through numerical studies for standard benchmark problems. This element is shown to overcome the shear locking problem completely in very thin plate situation even for irregular meshes.

The flat coil actuator is widely used to make high precision products because it has no friction between the moving coil and the guide. Finite Element Method, a favored actuator design tool due to its high accuracy, was utilized to analyze the electromagnetic actuator, but it consumes a lot of time especially in computation iterations for optimization. Accordingly, the magnetic equivalent circuit analysis can be an alternative tool to FEM because of its computation iteration capability with fair accuracy. In this paper, lumped parameter model and the simulation results are presented. In addition, the result of lumped parameter analysis is compared with those obtained from finite element analysis for verification.

The problem on cyclic plate load tests was analyzed by finite element method using an anisotropic hardening constitutive model. The constitutive model was coded to user subroutine in ABAQUS. Using the result of the analysis, Young's moduli corresponding to various strain levels were evaluated by a back calculation method and were very similar to those of input. On the basis of the back calculation method plate loading tests were verified. As a result, deformation moduli could be evaluated practically from cyclic plate load tests with respect site conditions.

In this paper Power Flow Finite Element Method(PFFEM) has been implemented to analyze the vibration of a plate in mid and high frequency ranges. In order to solve the vibration energy governing equation in Power Flow Analysis(PFA), The Finite Element Method(FEM) was used as a numerical tool. It allowed one to predict the distribution of displacement and Intensity in the plate vibrating at mid and high frequencies. The results were compared with the analytical solutions and the approximate FEM solutions. The comparison showed that PFFEM can be an effective tool to analyze the structural vibration in mid and high frequency ranges.

This paper is concerned with formulations of the hierarchical $C^{\circ}$-plate element on the basis of Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. On reason for the development of the aforementioned element based on Integrals of Legendre shape functions is that it is still difficult to construct elements based on h-version concepts which are accurate and stable against the shear locking effects. An adaptive mesh refinement and selective p-distribution of the polynomial degree using hp-version of the finite element method are proposed to verify the superior convergence and algorithmic efficiency with the help of the simply supported L-shaped plate problems.

구조물의 진동에 의해 소음이 방사되는 현상은 기계에서 소음의 발생원으로 볼 수 있기 때문에 기게류의 소음을 예측하거나 저감방안을 제시하기 위해서는 구조물의 동특성과 방사특성을 이해하고 있어야 한다. 특히, 엔진블럭, 펀치프레스, 배의 갑판구조물등과 같은 대다수의 소음 발생기계는 평판의 형상을 가진 구조물로서 기계적인 충격 등에 의해 그 표면에서 소음이 발생되므로 강성을 증가시키고, 소음저감을 목적으로 빔과 같은 보강재를 통해 보강되어 있다. 그런데, 해석적인 방법으로는 평판이나 원판 또는 구와 같은 단순한 형태의 특정구조물에 대해서만 그 결과를 얻을 수 있으므로 이와 같은 불연속 평판구조물의 진동 및 방사특성은 평판에 대한 순수 이론으로는 해석이 곤란하여 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치해석적인 방법을 통해 이를 해결하고자 하였다. 수치해석적인 방법으로는 유한요소법(FEM)과 경계요소법(BEM), 및 통계적 에너지 해석기법(SEA)등이 있으며 구조물의 진동-소음연성문제의 경우에 있어서는, 진동해석을 FEM과 SEA으로, 공기 중에서의 방사현상은 BEM으로 예측하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 재질이 균일한 얇은 2차원 평판구조와 보강평판에 대해서 진동특성은 유한요소해석 프로그램을 사용하여 해석하였으며 이때의 진동특성값을 입력데이터로 사용하여 경계요소해석 프로그램으로 방사효율 등을 예측하였다. 또한 이 과정에서 2차원 평판구조의 모우드 밀도와 가진점 모빌리티의 실수값이 가지는 평균치의 물리적 특성을 분석하였으며, 추후 실험을 통해 이를 검증코자 한다.

A general stiffener element which includes transverse shear deformation is formulated using the p-version finite element method. Hierarchic C/sup o/-shape functions, derived from Integrals of Legendre polynomials, are used to define the assembled stiffness matrix of the stiffener with respect to the local reference frame is transformed to the plate reference system by applying the appropriate transformation matrices in order to insure compatibility of displacements at the junction of the stiffener and plate. The transformation matrices which account for the orientation and the eccentricity effects of the stiffener with respect to the plate reference axes are used to find local behavior at the junction of the stiffener and the relative contributions of the plate and stiffener to the strength of the composite system. The results obtained by the p-version finite element method are comared with the results in literatures, especially those by the h-version finite element analysis program, MICROFEAP-II.
