In this paper simulations for the impact into ceramics and/or metal materials have been discussed. To model discrete nature for fracture and damage of brittle materials, we implemented cohesive-law fracture model with a node separation algorithm for the tensile failure and Mohr-Coulomb model for the compressive loading. The drawback of this scheme is that it requires a heavy computational time. This is because new nodes are generated continuously whenever a new crack surface is created. In order to reduce the amount of calculation, parallelization with MPI library has been implemented. For the high-speed impact problems, the mesh configuration and contact calculation changes continuously as time step advances and it causes unbalance of computational load of each processor. Dynamic load balancing technique which re-allocates the loading dynamically is used to achieve good parallel performance. Some impact problems have been simulated and the parallel performance and accuracy of the solutions are discussed.

In this paper, the approximately coupled method of finite element method and boundary element method to obtain efficient and accurate analysis results is proposed for a two-dimensional elasto-static problem with a geometrically abruptly changing part. As the finite element of a two-dimensional problem, three-node and four-node plane stress element is applied, and as the boundary element of a two-dimensional problem, three-node boundary element is applied. In the modeling stage, firstly, an entire analysis target object is modeled as finite elements, and then a geometrically abruptly changing part is modeled as boundary elements. The boundary element is defined using the nodes defined for modeling finite elements. In the analysis stage, finite element analysis is firstly performed on a entire analysis target object, and boundary element analysis is automatically performed afterwards. As for the boundary conditions at boundary element analysis, displacement conditions and stress conditions, which are the results of finite element analysis, are applied. As a numerical example, the analysis results for a two-dimensional elasto-static problem, a plate with a crack, are presented and investigated.

This research presents a three-dimensional modeling technique for a flexible sheet. A relative coordinate formulation is used to represent the kinematics of the sheet. The three-dimensional flexible sheet is modeled by multi-rigid bodies interconnected by out-of-plane joints and plate force elements. A parent node is designated as a master body and is connected to the ground by a floating joint to cover the rigid motion of the flexible sheet in space. Since the in-plane deformation of a sheet such as a paper and a film is relatively small, compared to out-of-plane deformation, only the out-of-plane deformation is accounted for in this research. The recursive formulation has been adopted to solve the equations of motion efficiently. An example is presented to show the validity of the proposed method.

In the field of shape optimum design, much efforts are needed in regridding method and shape design sensitivity analysis. In this paper, Bezier curve is used to make the boundary of a structure and the improved direct differentiation method is used to calculate the shape design sensitivity. To regrid the finite element model, modified displacement field is presented in this paper. The modified displacement field makes more fine grid at large curvature. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the optimum shape of a cantilever with weight and a 3-dimensional journal bearing cap.

Meshless methods, developed in various ways over the past decade, have been attractive as new computational methods in that they do not need mesh generation in analyzing procedure. But most of these methods were not truly meshless methods because background meshes were required for the spatial integration of a weak form. Accordingly, in this paper, nodal integration for truly meshless methods has been studied, and an improvement scheme is proposed. To improve stabilization and accuracy, which are the weak points in previous nodal integration methods, the integration area is transformed to circle and then numerically integrated. This method does not need any adding term for stabilization in the variational formulation and then simplifies the integration procedure. Numerical test results show that the proposed method is more accurate, stable, and reasonable than the existed nodal integration methods.

Compare to the large number of curved quadrilateral degenerated-shell elements, there are only a very few curved triangular degenerated-shell elements. Based on the assumed natural strain sampling scheme previously developed for a quadratic degenerated-shell element for linear analysis, this paper devises geometric non-linear six-node degenerated-shell element. The element can be curved and is only equipped with the standard nodal d.o.f.'s. Careful consideration has been exercised to circumvent various locking phenomena that plague degenerated-shell element. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate efficiency.

The line simplification method based on the turning function is studied in this paper for conversion of ground plan data to geospatial data to update the digital map. This method eliminate vertices effectively by estimating the length and the angle between the vertices based on the turning function which is useful to express the shape of linear feature. As the result, this method shows high shape similarity, high elimination rate of vertices and 100% of satisfaction degree to the drawing rules. Thus this line simplification method is judged to be effective in updating the digital map with ground plans.

This paper concerns a study on the theory of tearing which analyzes a large scale network by partitioning it into a number of small subnetworks by cutting through some of the existing nodes and branches in the network. By considering of the relationship its voltage and current of node cutting before and after, the consititutive equations of tearing method is equvalent to renumbering the nodes of untorn network equations. Therefore the analysis of network is conveniently applied as same algorithm that is used in untorn network. Also the proposed nodal admittnace matrix is put in block diagonal form, therefore this method permit parallel processing analysis of subnetworks. 30 nodes network was tested and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was proved.

A technique for the seismic reliability evaluation of electric power transmission network system(EPTS) was developed to evaluate reliability indices corresponding to the whole network system and to each node within. A network model with nodes and links for EPTS was established, and a seismic substation fragility curve obtained from seismic fragilities of power system facilities was derived. A point source model, the doubly truncated Gutenberg-Richter relationship, and earthquake intensity attenuation formula was applied to simulate seismic events. Using Monte-Carlo simulation method, the seismic reliability of EPTS was evaluated and, it appeared that seismic effect on EPTS of korea has to be considered.

When dynamic loads such as mechanical load, wind load, and seismic load, which causing a vibration, acts on the body of the 3-D framework resting on soil foundation, it is required to consider the dynamic behavior of soil-space framework interation system. Thus, this study presents the 3-dimensional soil-interaction system analyzed by finite element method using 4-node plate elements with flexibility, 2-node beam elements, and 8-node brick elements for the purpose of idealizing an actual structure into a geometric shape. The objective of this study is the formulation of the equation for a dynamic motion and the development of the finite element program which can analyze the dynamic behavior of soil-space framework interaction system.
