Membrane materials are very flexible, thus wrinkling, uniaxial state, can be occurred. The wrinkling are due to lots of various factors as eccentric force, construction errors, and fabrication errors. These wrinkled membrane elements are in status of uniaxial stress. In the paper, a method which be able to check the wrinkling is proposed. The stress-deformation analysis of membrane structures for given external load will be carried out, and here the membrane elements are regarded as wrinkled state if the principal stress 2 is smaller than 0. With proposed method, two existed construction examples, Suwon auditorium and Okinawa 75 Expo, are analyzed.

In this paper, numerical methods for wrinkle prediction of thin membrane were studied by finite element analysis. Techniques using membrane and shell elements were applied for triangular membrane. In case of membrane element method, the wrinkling was accounted for by the wrinkle algorithm of property modification, which was implemented to ABAQUS as a user subroutine. In case of shell method, geometrically nonlinear post-buckling analysis was performed to obtain the wrinkle deformation explicitly. The wrinkling deformation was induced by seeding the mesh with a random geometric imperfection. The results were investigated focusing on the mesh convergence and the solution accuracy.

A program is developed to analyze and design the frequency and rigidity of the corrugated plates with various corrugation shapes (the considered corrugation shapes are triangular and trapezoidal) and 36 kinds of boundary conditions using smeared theory. The system is consisted of input, solution and output routines, and its routine is made up pull-down menu type and run in Window basis using Visual Basic Language. The input routine helps the design engineers to make the input data user-friendly. The solution routine uses the homemade solver. In the output routine, automatic designs can be done using AutoCAD and Intent Tool package by interfacing the input data.

Using the finite element method and Taguchi's design technique, the displacement in vertical direction, von Mises stress, and strain energy of the corrugation damper have been analyzed as functions of the extruded length and the thickness of the corrugation damper, and the upper and lower corner radii of the damper. The optimized profile design elements of a corrugation damper are very important for increasing a strain energy absorption capacity of a helmet structure, which is attacked by impulsive external forces. In this study, the optimized design data based on the Taguchi's method was computed as a corrugation damper length of L = 20 mm, a damper thickness of t = 2 mm, the upper corner radius of $R_1=4\;mm$, and the lower corner radius of $R_2=3\;mm$. The optimized design parameters of a corrugation damper indicated that the thickness and extruded length of a corrugation damper may affect to increase the strain energy, which absorbs the impact forces of the helmet.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of the channel in corrugated plate type heat exchangers numerically. Numerical work has been conducted using the Reynolds Stress Model(RSM) by utilizing the commercial finite-volume code, FLUENT. Based on this model, the dependence of heat transfer and friction factor on geometrical parameters have been investigated. It is found that larger corrugation angle give higher values of heat transfer coefficients and friction factors. As the reynolds number increases, the heat transfer coefficient also increases. It is also observed that the heat transfer coefficient reaches maximum while the friction factor stays relatively low at same corrugation angle. Through the analysis, it is found that the optimum corrugation angle for the heat exchanger performance exists. It is noted that the flow repulsions at the contact point of the two fluid streams make the low mixing more active for larger corrugation angle and high reynolds number.

The stress analyses of the 'U'-shaped multi-ply reinforced gimbal bellows under high pressure and rotational displacement loadings are performed at the room and cryogenic temperatures. The bellows are used for the Lox pipe line which connects the combustion chamber with the turbopump of a liquid rocket engine. The distributions of the stress, the strains and the contact pressures are obtained from the finite element analysis considering the geometric non-linearities of the contacts between the plies and the material one of the isotropic plasticity. Those are compared with the stress results from EJMA (Expansion Joint Manufacturing Association) standard. Also, the effects of the operating temperature and the reinforcing ring on the stresses are investigated.

In this paper, the displacement behavior and strain energy density characteristics of a safety helmet with various corrugation dampers has been analyzed based on the finite element analysis. The safety helmet is to protect impact forces and to absorb the impact energy. Three different helmet models with a corrugation damper have been compared as functions of the displacement and strain energy density characteristics when the maximum external impulsive force is imposed on the summit of the helmet. The computed FEM results show that the extruded corrugation damper is very useful to increase the damping effect of the helmet. This study indicates that the round corrugation damper may absorb the transferred impact energy successfully. Thus, this paper recommends round and long corrugation damper on the lower part of the helmet as a new design element.

Graphene flakes are generally mass-produced by converting graphene oxide into reduced graphene oxide using chemical or thermal reduction. These graphene flakes can be stacked to form a free-standing graphene paper, which can be used for various applications. However, a graphene paper lacks stretchability, which hinders its application in stretchable devices. In this work, we introduced wrinkles in a graphene paper to make it stretchable. A graphene paper fabricated by vacuum-filtering a graphene dispersion was placed on a pre-stretched adhesive film. When the pre-stretched adhesive film returned to the original state, the graphene paper was wrinkled. The effect of the pre-stretching and wet condition of the graphene papers was experimentally investigated by using scanning electron microscopy. In addition, we observed the change of the period of the wrinkles in the graphene paper depending on the pre-stretching.

본 논문에서는 냉장고를 운반하기 위하여 현재 냉장고 뒷판에 부착된 플라스틱 손잡이를 판금물인 냉장고 뒷판에 성형, 대체하는 연구를 수행하였다. 이 손잡이는 그 형상이 비축대칭으로써 평면변형(Plane STRAIN)과 축대칭변형(axisymmetric)이 좁은 공간상에 공존하는 형태를 띄고 있고 그 성형 깊이가 깊어 성형이 매우 어렵다. 따라서 성형을 가능케 하기 위하여 유한요소 해석을 이용한 형상의 최적설계를 통해 터짐을 방지하고 실험을 통해 주름이 발생하지 않도록 하였다. 현재 부착되어 있는 플라스틱 손잡이의 모양을 단공정으로 성형 시에는 재료의 유입이 원활하지 못하여 파단이 발생함으로 불가능하였다. 그러나 두공정으로 하여 첫공정에서는 축대칭에 가까운 형상으로 원하는 깊이를 얻고 두번째 공정에서 손잡이의 형상을 만들어 줌으로써 성형이 가능하다. 또한 냉장고 뒷판의 형상 변경을 통하여 재료의 유입을 원활히 함으로써 단공정으로의 성형도 가능함을 도출하였다.

A thin sheet of metal with corrugated structures has been utilized in various devices: heat exchangers, separators in fuel cells, and many others. However, it is not easy to fabricate thin corrugated structures using a single-step stamping process due to their geometrical complexity. To solve this problem, firstly, a plate type heat exchanger was redesigned to attain the optimal value of aspect ratio and the optimal shape of corrugated structures for the actual loading conditions. A forming analysis of the corrugated plate was then carried out to determine the process parameters. From this work, the optimal value of aspect ratio was found to be 4.6. In addition, the process parameters of heat exchanger forming were optimized using the optimal value of aspect ratio, and the analytical results were evaluated through experiments. The results obtained indicated good agreements between them.
