An improved algorithm for simulation of multi-variate random processes has been presented. It is based on the spectral representation method. The conventional methods give sample time histories which satisfy the target spectral density matrix only in the sense of ensemble average. However, the present method can generate sample functions which satisfy the target spectra in the ergodic sense. Example analysis is given for the simulation of earthquake accelerations with three components.

This study investigates influencing factors on numerical crash simulation between RC slab and soft projectile using explicit dynamic method. Considered experimental test is the MEPPEN II/4 test, which has been conducted at the end of the years 70' in Germany as one of the numerous experimental test related to design of nuclear power plants. LS-DYNA software is adopted for numerical study, and influencing factors such as constitutive model of concrete, strain rate effect of steel and concrete, support modeling method, etc. are investigated. More reasonable simulation results can be achieved through appropriate consideration of these factors, especially of constitutive model of concrete material since this factor affects most among the investigated factors.

Pintle thrusters use pintle stroke to change nozzle throat area, and this controls thrust. Using MATLAB, one-dimensional simulation has been investigated and the results are compared to those of cold flow tests and computational fluid dynamics for the pintle thruster of Chungnam National University. The prediction based on one-dimensional flow theory shows good agreement with measurements for chamber pressure, but deviates for thrust, partly because of nozzle wall separation. Computational results show that nozzle wall separation occurs at an early stage of nozzle expansion, near the design nozzle throat, for the course of pintle strokes. Empirical thrust prediction incorporates nozzle wall separation, and thus 1-D simulation using empirical thrust prediction showed good results for an early stage of pintle stroke.

In this study, the performance of composite safety barriers was evaluated through computer simulation. A composite safety barrier of SB4 grade was modeled. The MAT58 material model provided by LS-DYNA software was used to model composite material. The performance of composite material varies according to fiber, resin type, and fiber direction. Polyurethane resin and glass fiber were used. The performance of three different stacking designs was evaluated by carrying out vehicle impact simulation. The performance evaluation based on the vehicle crash manual includes the structural strength performance, the passenger protection performance, the vehicle behavior after crash, scattering of the guardrail. As the result of the finite element analysis, the barrier composed of the more transverse direction fibers shows the better performance on the impact simulation.

수직벽 화재 예측의 정확성을 확인하기 위하여 화재 시뮬레이션용 전산유체역학 모델인 Fire Dynamics Simulator를 프로필렌 수직벽 화재에 적용하였다. 단위면적당 연소율 $7.0{\sim}29.29g/m^2-s$에 대한 버너 중심에서 측정한 온도분포와 비교한 결과, 최고온도가 낮게 예측되는 것 외에는 실험과 잘 일치하였다. 또 연소율의 증가에 따라 경계측의 두께가 일관되게 증가하였다.

In this paper, the computer simulations are carried out by using the peridynamic theory model with various conditions including quasi-static loads, dynamic loads and crack propagation, branching crack pattern and isotropic materials, orthotropic materials. Three examples, a plate with a hole under quasi-static loading, a plate with a pre-existing crack under dynamic loading and a lamina with a pre-existing crack under quasi-static loading are analyzed by computational simulations. In order to simulate the quasi-static load, an adaptive dynamic relaxation technique is used. In the orthotropic material analysis, a homogenization method is used considering the strain energy density ratio between the classical continuum mechanics and the peridynamic. As a result, crack propagation and branching cracks are observed successfully and the direction and initiation of the crack are also captured within the peridynamic modeling. In case of applying peridynamic used homogenization method to a relatively complicated orthotropic material, it is also verified by comparing with experimental results.

Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the rudder since they play an important role in naval architecture fields. Although some values such as hydrodynamics forces can be measured easily in the towing tanks, it is difficult to obtain the detailed information of the flow fields such as pressure distribution, velocity distribution, vortex generation from experiments. In the present study, the effects of hydrodynamic coefficients and Reynolds number acting on the rudder were studied by using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD). Ansys fluent, one of commercial CFD solvers, solves the Navier-Stokes equations and the k-epsilon turbulence model is selected for the viscous model to solve RANS equations. At first, drag coefficients and lift coefficient for different angle of attack are obtained by using a CFD commercial code for KCS rudder. Secondly, the 2-D lift coefficients and drag coefficients are compared with 3-D coefficients at the same conditions. Thirdly, the effects of Reynolds number on the hydrodynamic forces are investigated.

화재시뮬레이션용 소프트웨어인 FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 수직벽 화재 시뮬레이션에 있어서의 문제점을 파악하기 위해, 수직벽 프로필렌 화재에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 성능기반설계 등에 널리 사용되고 있는 이 전산유체역학 모델에 포함되어있는 주요 매개변수의 기본값을 사용한 경우, 수직벽 화재에서는 정확도가 매우 낮음을 확인하였다. 프로필렌 연소율 $10.08g/m^2$-s과 $29.29g/m^2$-s에 대한 주요 매개변수의 조사를 수행한 결과, 스마고린스키 상수(Smagorinsky constant)가 기본값인 0.2에서 수직벽에 형성된 경계층이 층류로 예측되었다. 스마고린스키 상수가 0.1일 때 온도분포가 실험과 비교적 잘 일치하였으나 벽면에서의 열유속에는 큰 오차가 있음을 확인하였다.

The hybrid simulation test method is a versatile technique for evaluating the seismic performance of structures by seamlessly integrating both physical and numerical simulations of substructures into a single test mode. In this paper, a software framework that integrates computational and experimental simulation has been developed to simulate and test a bridge structural system under earthquake loading. Using hybrid simulation, the seismic response of complex bridge structural systems partitioned into multiple large-scale experimental and computational substructures at networked distributed experimental and computational facilities can be evaluated. In this paper, the examples of application are presented in terms of a bridge model with soil-foundation-structure interaction.

In general, the response of bulk material is independent of its size when it comes to considering classical elasticity theory. Because the surface to bulk ratio of the large solids is very small, the influence of surface can be negligible. But the surface effect plays important role as the surface to bulk ratio becomes larger, that is, the contribution of the surface effect must be considered in nano-size elements such as thin film or beam structure. Molecular dynamics computation has been a conventional way to analyze these ultra-thin structures but this method is limited to simulate on the order of $10^6{\sim}10^9$ atoms for a few nanoseconds, and besides, very time consuming. Analysis of structures in submicro to micro range(thin-film, wire etc.) is difficult with classical molecular dynamics due to the restriction of computing resources and time. Therefore, in this paper, the continuum-based method is considered to simulate the overall physical and mechanical properties of the structures in nano-scale, especially, for the thin-film.
