Studies for tube spin forming have been implemented restrictively compared to spinning process, because of the complex of deformation mechanism. Especially there were not many studies by using FEM(Finite Element Method) for overcoming restriction of upper bound method. In this paper, the tube spinning process is analyzed to produce cylindrical body made by titanium alloy. In analysis, processing parameters was obtained by using upper bound method to consider material properties of titanium alloy and finite element analysis was implemented to investigate the flatness and the elongation of the titanium alloy workpiece by using ABAQUS code. The independent variables are ; material properties of workpiece, angles of roller, reduction of diameter. Three variables, two angles of roller and reduction of diameter are optimized by using the upper bound method. In this method, we can estimate the workable power, working force and reduction of diameter, and also the flatness and the elongation of workpiece by the finite elements analysis using ABAQUS/standard. The results indicates that these variables play a critical factors of spinning process for the titanium alloy and the optimum values of these variables.

This paper is for the first essential study on the development of unified finite element formulations for solving problems related to the dynamics/thermoelastics behavior of solids. In the first part of formulations, the finite element method is based on the introduction of a new quantity defined as heat displacement, which allows the heat conduction equations to be written in a form equivalent to the equation of motion, and the equations of coupled thermoelasticity to be written in a unified form. The equations obtained are used to express a variational formulation which, together with the concept of generalized coordinates, yields a set of differential equations with the time as an independent variable. Using the Laplace transform, the resulting finite element equations are described in the transform domain. In the second, the Laplace transform is applied to both the equation of heat conduction derived in the first part and the equations of motions and their corresponding boundary conditions, which is referred to the transformed equation. Selections of interpolation functions dependent on only the space variable and an application of the weighted residual method to the coupled equation result in the necessary finite element matrices in the transformed domain. Finally, to prove the validity of two approaches, a comparison with one finite element equation and the other is made term by term.

The load distribution and deflection of large diameter piles are investigated by lateral load transfer method (p-y curve). The emphasis is on the effect of the soil continuity in a laterally loaded pile using 3D finite element analysis. A framework for determining a p-y curve is calculated based on the surrounding soil stress. The parametric studies that take into account the soil continuity are also presented in this paper. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, it is found that the prediction by the present approach is in good agreement with the general trend observed by in situ measurements and thus, represents a significant improvement in the prediction of a laterally loaded pile behavior. Therefore, a present study considering the soil continuity would be more economical pile design.

The structural system of a hybrid building is composed of upper shear wall which resist lateral force by bending deformation and lower frame which resist lateral force by shear deformation. A deep transfer girder is used to transfer gravity load safely from super structures to structural frame beneath. Because of the vertical discontinuity, a building with transfer girder must be analyzed by dynamic analysis. However, this structural system has many problems in performing dynamic analysis that cannot be solved by general analysis procedure. The slabs In transfer floor are considered as either a Plate element or a rigid diaphragm in finite element analysis without appropriate evaluation of their characteristics. Therefore, a reasonable analysis method is proposed in this study by evaluating the diaphragm effect of a hybrid structure system.

In this paper, three-dimensional finite element analysis of screw rolling process of a long shaft bolt is conducted by using a rigid-plastic finite element method based metal forming simulator AFDEX 3D. A whole sequence of cold forming processes of a long shaft bolt composed of forging and screw rolling processes is simulated to reveal the mechanism of screw formation. A mesh density control function is applied near the major plastic deformation region to achieve computational efficiency.

The finite element method has become the most widely used method of structural analysis and recently, the method has often been applied to complex dynamic and nonlinear structural analyses problems. Even for these complex problems, where the responses are hard to predict, finite element analyses yield reliable results if appropriate element types and meshes are used. However, the dynamic and nonlinear behaviors of a structure often include large deformations in various portions of the structure and if the same mesh is used throughout the analysis, some elements may deform to shapes beyond the reliable limits; thus dynamically adapting finite element meshes are needed in order for the finite element analyses to be accurate. In addition, to satisfy the users requirement of quick real run time of finite element programs, the algorithms must be computationally efficient. This paper presents an adaptive finite element mesh generation scheme for dynamic analyses of structures that may adapt at each time step. Representative strain values are used for error estimates and combinations of the h-method(node movement) and the r-method(element division) are used for mesh refinements. A coefficient that depends on the shape of an element is used to limit overly distorted elements. A simple frame example shows the accuracy and computational efficiency of the scheme. The aim of the study is to outline the adaptive scheme and to demonstrate the potential use in general finite element analyses of dynamic and nonlinear structural problems commonly encountered.

일반적으로 유한요소 모델로부터 구한 해석결과는 대상 구조물의 모드 실험결과와 오차를 보인다. 이러한 오차로 인해서 유한요소 모델의 효용성에 한계가 발생하게 되면, 모델의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있도록 모델을 보정하는 절차가 필요하다. 유한요소 모델 개선은 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위해서 유한요소 모델을 변경하는 체계적인 접근법이다. 유한요소 모델에서 변경할 수 있는 매개변수의 개수는 실험결과의 개수보다 훨씬 많으므로 실험결과와 일치되는 개선된 모델의 수는 무한하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나, 개선된 유한요소 모델이 물리적 타당성을 갖도록 매개변수의 선택과 변경에 제한을 주면 초기 유한요소 모델에 비해서 실험결과와의 오차가 개선된 근사해만 존재하게 된다. 따라서, 모델 개선 과정을 통해서 구한 개선된 모델은 오차의 평가기준 또는 목적함수에 따라서 정해진 다양한 근사해 중 하나이다. 기존의 모델 개선 방법에서는 실험결과와의 오차를 나타내는 단 하나의 평가기준 또는 목적함수를 사용하고 이를 최소화하는 모델을 구한다. 최적화 결과를 얻기 전에는 사용된 평가기준이 타당한지 검토할 수 없으므로 대부분의 경우, 시행착오 방법으로 목적함수를 설정하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 다목적 최적화 개념을 이용한 평가기준을 소개하고 특히, 대화식 다목적 최적화 기법을 이용하여 유한요소 모델을 개선한다.

The inrush current of transformer can flow when the overvoltage caused by surge or external faults is applied. In this paper, an algorithm for the calculation of this inruch current is proposed. The capacitances of windings are precalculated by using 3 dimensional FEM and are appended to circuit of the transformer. And transient characteristics of the transformer are analyzed by axisymmetric FEM which is coupled magnetic field of transformer and circuit of transformer. When a transformer encounters abnormal voltage, using the proposed method, internal magnetic field of transformer, voltages and currents of windings are calculated.
