의치상 재료 종류에 따라 의치, 점막 및 하악골에 발생되는 변위 및 응력을 연구하기 위하여 컴퓨터를 이용한 수치적 해석인 2차원 유한 요소법을 이용하였다. 2차원 유한 요소 모형으로선 표준 크기의 하악골 및 의치를 고려하여 231개의 사변형 요소 및 268개의 절점으로 분할한 후 각 구성 성분의 물리적 성질인 탄성률 및 프와송비를 대입시켰다. 사용된 의치로서는 일반 합성수지의치, 2mm후경의 탄성재를 의치상 하부에 이장한 합성수지의치, 2mm후경의 탄성재를 치아와 의치상 중앙에 삽입한 합성수지의치 및 0.5mm후경의 금속상의치의 4종류였으며, 하중시에 하악의 고정 부위로선 생체와 동일 조건을 부여하기 위하여 교근, 내측익돌근, 측두근등의 하악 폐구근이 부착되는 하악각 부위 및 하악 근돌기 부위의 16절점을 고정점으로 하였다. 하중 조건으로선 하악 제1대구치의 일점에 10kg의 수직 집중하중, 하악 중절치의 일점에 7kg의 수직 집중하중 및 하악 제 1소구치로 부터 하악 제2대구치까지의 교합면에 10kg의 수직 분산하중을 부여하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 하중이 의치 교합면위의 가해진 부위에 따라 다양한 의치 회전 및 강하 현상을 보였으며, 탄성재를 이장 및 삽입한 합성 수지 의치의 변위가 일반 합성수지의치 및 금속상 의치의 변위보다 더 컸다. 2. 주응력을 고려할때 점막 부위에는 주로 압축 응력이 작용하였으며 치조제 부위는 압축응력과 인장 응력이 함께 작용하였다. 3. 탄성재를 삽입한 합성수지의치에 최고 등가 응력이 집중되었으며 그 다음은 탄성재를 이장한 합성수지의치, 일반 합성수지의치의 순이였으며 금속상의 경우는 금속을 따라서 높은 등가 응력이 넓게 분산되었다. 4. 의치상 종류에 관계없이 동일 하중 조건하에선 점막에 나타나는 등가 응력의 크기 및 분산양태는 유사하였다. 5. 하악골에서 등가 응력은 의치지지 부위에만 국한되지 않고 넓게 분산 되었으며 의치상 종류 및 하중 조건에 관계없이 치조제 후방 및 하악연의 후방 부위에 특히 높은 등가응력이 집중되었다. 6. 하악 중절치의 일점에 수직 하중을 가한 경우가 다른 하중 조건에 비하여 지지점과의 거리차이로 인하여 하악골에 가장 높은 등가 응력을 유발하였다. 7. 의치상 재료에 따른 하악 골에 발생되는 응력의 크기 및 분산에는 큰 차이가 없으나 금속상의 경우가 교합압을 분산하는데는 효과적이었다.

In the particular situations where the crack is terminated at an interface of two materials, the order of stress singularity depends on the elastic constants which specify the properties of two materials. A multidomain boundary element technique is used to solve a crack normal to bimaterial interface. A correct order of shape function is used for displacement by using the isoparametric elements by shifting adequately the side nodes adjacent to this crack tip. A shape function containing the same order of singularity as that in the interface crack is also used for the interpolation of traction. Numerical testing of a binaterial with a crack normal to the interface is carried out with three-node elements. The results obtained are compared with the previous solutions.

A degenerated cylindrical shell element for modeling glass fiber reinforced plastic pipes is developed and its performance for static structural analysis under internal uniform pressure is evaluated. The element is a nine node degenerated solid shell element with reduced integration technique, addition of nonconforming displacement modes, and assumed strain method to improve convergence of analysis. Several numerical examples are solved and compared with analytical solutions and other F.E.M programs, The results show that the increment of fiber orientation in the GFRP pipes with reference to the longitudinal axis cause less radial displacements and much stiffness in the pipes. This is reasonable since the internal pressure will primarily cause hoop stresses in the ring and 90-angle ply GFRP ring carry these efficiently in pure tension.

This paper presents an improved initial force method for determining the initial shape of suspension bridges. After determining the initial shape factors through the force equilibrium conditions of each hanging point, the initial force method was applied with the computed values, each node's coordinates, and unstrained lengths of the cable element as inputs. The unstrained length of each cable element was regarded as a fixed value in each iteration step, unlike in the typical initial force method. This method can be applied to 2D and 3D suspension bridge models. The validity of the present method was demonstrated by comparing the results of the numerical examples.

An algorithm is proposed for estimating axle loads of trucks moving over a bridge by measuring dynamic responses. The bridge was modeled by a beam structure in the current applications of the proposed algorithm. Among the state vectors, measured acceleration was used and displacement was computed from measured strain at the same location. Nodal force vectors were computed by using a ready-made database of equivalent nodal force transformation matrix. The algorithm was examined through simulation studies and laboratory experiments. The effects of measurement noise and velocity error were investigated through simulation studies.

The extended tangent stiffness matrices and force-deformation relations of the elastic catenary element were initially derived through the addition of the unstrained length of cables to unknown nodal 'displacements. A beam-column element was then introduced to model the deck and pylon of cable-stayed bridges. The conventional geometric nonlinear analysis, initial force method, and TCUD method were summarized, with an effective method combining two methods presented to determine the initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges with dead loads. In this combined method, TCUD method was applied to eliminate vertical and horizontal displacements at cable-supported points of decks and on top of pylons, respectively. The initial force method was also adopted to eliminate horizontal and vertical displacements of decks and pylons. Finally, the accuracy and validity of the proposed combined method were demonstrated through numerical examples.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of LIPCA(Light-weight Piezo-Composite actuator) including the material nun-linearity of the embedded 3203HD PZT wafer. For this analysis, we used a piezo-shell element code based on a nine-node assumed strain shell element formulation. The material non-linearity was implemented in the formulation due to a large observed discrepancy between the measured displacement and the computed actuation displacement based on the linear analysis. An experimentally extracted piezo-strain function of the PZT wafer and incremental formulation were incorporated into the linear finite element code to improve the accuracy of the estimated actuation displacement of the LIPCA. The non-linear piezo-shell program was used to predict the non-linear performance of the LIPCA. The simulated actuation displacement from the non-linear code showed much better agreement with the measured data.

In this paper, the finite element method for the elastodynamic axisymmetric fracture analysis is presented in matrix form through the application of the Galerkin method to the time integral equations of motion with no inertia forces. Isoparametric quadratic quadrilateral element and triangular crack tip singular elements with one-quarter node are used in the mesh division of the finite element model. To show the validity and accuracy of the proposed method, the infinite elastic medium with the penny shaped crack is solved first and compared with the analytical solution and the numerical results by the finite difference method and the boundary element method existing in the published literatures, and then the dynamic stress intensity factors of solid and hollow cylinders of finite dimensions haying penny-shaped cracks and internal and external circumferential tracks are computed in detail.

A method analizing contact pressure between plate and elastic half space is presented by using F.E.M. With the method, the pressure intensities at surface nodes of half space cae be directly calculated by using flexibility matrix of half space. The method is originally presented by Y.K. Cheung et al.(3) Insted of Y.K. Cheung's method, which use a conception of equi-contact pressure area around each surface nodes of half space in the noded rectanqular element area. We use the equi-contact pressure area around the Gaussian integration points of half space surface in the noded isoparametric element area. Numarical examples are presented and compared with other's studies.

In the present paper, formulation of a nine-node assumed strain shell element is modified and extended for analysis of actuator embedded/attached structures. The shell element can alleviate locking and has sic DOFs per node by discarding assumption of no thickness change. In modeling of the physicalquantities, we have assumed linear strain field through the whole thickness direction. The electric and mechanical quantities have been coupled through the constitutive equations. Unlike typical shell element, the present shell element allows thickness change. Thus, three-dimensional piezoelasticity can be accurately simulated. Base on the formulation, a finite element program is generated and the code is validated by solving numerical examples. The results from the present work are well agreed with those from other references.
