Sensitivity analysis scheme is developed in the elasto-plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with the time integration, constitutive relation, shell element with reduced integration and the contact scheme. Sensitivity analysis results are mainly examined with the highly nonlinear and quasi-static problem with the complicated contact condition. The result shows stable sensitivity especially in the sheet metal forming analysis.

An indirect cutting torque and cutting force estimation method is presented. This method uses a time-domain model between the spindle motor power, which calculated form measured spindle motor current and voltage. Spindle motor power is linear with cutting torque in this model. The cutting force is proportional to the cutting torque. Using trial cut, parameters are determined. Static sensitivity is suitable for various cutting conditions. The presented method is verified under several cutting tests on the CNC horizontal machining center.

The impact protection system consists of an arrangement of circular sheet pile cofferdams-denoted dolphin structuredeeply embedded in the seabed, filled with crushed rock and closed at the top with a robust concrete cap. Centrifuge model tests were performed to investigation the behaviors of dolphins in this study. Total 7 quasi-model tests and 11 dynamic model tests were performed. The main experimental results can be summarized as follows. Firstly, The experimental force-displacement results for quasi-static tests show a limited influence on the initial stiffness of the structure from the change in fill density and the related change in the stiffness of the fill. And by comparing the dissipation at the same dolphin displacement it was found that the denser fill increase the dissipation by 16% for the 20m dolphin and by 23% for the 30m dolphin. The larger sensitivity for the large dolphin is explained by a larger contribution to the dissipation from strain in the fill. In low level impacts the dynamic force-response is up to 26~58% larger than the quasi-static and the dissipation response is showed larger in small displacement. Hence, it is concluded conservative to use the quasi-static response characteristics in the approximation of the response, and it is further concluded that the dolphin resistance to low level impacts is demonstrated to be equivalent and even superior to the high level impacts.

Among various sensitivity evaluation techniques, semi-analytical method(SAM) is quite popular since this method is more advantageous than analytical method(AM) and global finite difference method(FDM). However, SAM reveals severe inaccuracy problem when relatively large rigid body motions are identified fur individual elements. Such errors result from the numerical differentiation of the pseudo load vector calculated by the finite difference scheme. In the present study, an iterative method combined with mode decomposition technique is proposed to compute reliable semi-analytical design sensitivities. The improvement of design sensitivities corresponding to the rigid body mode is evaluated by exact differentiation of the rigid body modes and the error of SAM caused by numerical difference scheme is alleviated by using a Von Neumann series approximation considering the higher order terms for the sensitivity derivatives.

Quasti-static cutting force variations in milling process are measured indirectly using spindle motor current. Quasi-static sensitivity of the spindle motor current is higher than that of the feed motor current. Magnitude of the spindle motor current is independent of cutting direction. The linear relationship between the cutting force and the spimdle motor RMS current at various spindle rotational speed is obtained. Frequency/ Voltage(F/V) converter voltage is measured to identify the spindle speed and to determine the cutting force at various spindle speeds. Overload on the tool during milling process can be detected using the proposed indirect cutting force measurement. Based on these measurements, cutting force is regulated at a constant level by feedrate control.

CAE has been settled down to an indispensable tool for the simulation of a mechanical system according to the development of computer-aided analysis rapidly. Particularly finite element programs have advanced to the one of most valuable things in the filed of CAE due to the remarkable progress in the implementation. But since this analysis tool mostly provides the result of the analysis, it cannot satisfy designers who are seeking for information to improve their designs. Therefore, design sensitivity analysis or optimization module has been incorporated into commercial FEA programs to satisfy the desire of designers since 1990s. Design sensitivity analysis is to compute the rate of change of response with respected to design variable. Design sensitivity analysis is classfied into static design sensitivity analysis, Eigenvalue design sensitivity analysis and dynamic design sensitivity analysis. In this research, it will be presented to nonlinear static design sensitivity analysis formulation and nonlinear static design sensitivity analysis external module based ANSYS have been developed and illustrated an example to verify the developed module.

In order to monitor the impact locations in smart structures, multipoint ultrasonic sensors are to be employed. In this study, a multiplexing demodulator with wide dynamic range was proposed to detect the impact locations using FBG sensors, and a stabilization controlling system was also developed for the maintenance of maximum sensitivity of sensors. Two FBG sensors were attached on the bottom side of the aluminum beam specimen and low velocity impact tests were performed to detect the one-dimensional impact locations. As a result, multiplexed in-line FBG sensors could detect the moment of impact precisely, and found the impact locations with the average location error below 0.58mm.

편마비 환자의 보행운동 개선을 위한 보조기구로 족부보장구(Ankle Foot Orthosis, A.F.O.)가 활용되고 있다 족부보장구는 Fig. 1에 제시한 바와 같이 보행특성상 무수히 반복되는 충격과 굽힘하중을 받는다. 따라서 족부보장구용 재료는 피로특성이 우수한 탄소섬유 강화재(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, 이하 CFRP)를 주로 사용한다. 그러나 CFRP의 상용재인 프리프레그(prepreg)는 강한 이방성의 단방향 섬유이므로 섬유방향과 하중작용방향의 관계에 매우 민감하다.(중략)

정전기는 일상생활에서 흔히 일어나는 현상으로 산업 전반에 걸쳐 많은 응용을 하고 있다. 그러나 정전기 방전 현상은 절연내력을 초과할 때 갑작스럽게 방출되면서 일어나는 공기중 전자전도 현상으로 외부 환경에 민감한 전기·전자 소자의 오동작 피해를 주거나 가연성 재료를 폭발시킬 수 있는 에너지원이 될 수 있다. 또한 정전기 피해의 원인 분석이 곤란하기 때문에 정전기 방전 현상의 정확한 이해가 필요하다. 따라서 방전 위험성 평가시 초기에 대전된 인체 전하량이 모두 방전 에너지로 쓰인다는 비현실적인 가정을 사실적인 방전 모델로 하여 방전현상을 이해하고, 정량적 해석 및 분석을 통하여 위험성을 올바르게 인식하고 평가하는 것이 필요하다 이에 ESD 현상에 대한 HBM, CDM, FIM 등 여러 모델을 이용하여 방전 메카니즘을 발표하여 정전기 현상을 이해하고, 각 종 규제를 강화하거나 확대하여 재해를 방지하고 있다. 그러나 국내의 인체 정전기 방전으로 인한 위험성을 올바르게 파악할 수 있는 연구나 연구 자료 및 문헌이 미비한 실정이다.(중략)

지진하중에 대한 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 유사동적 실험기법은 다양한 시험체를 대상으로 응용되어 왔다. 특히 실물크기의 시험체에 대한 실험이 가능하다는 특징 때문에 substructuring기법을 도입하여 부분구조물에 대한 유사동적실험이 활발히 진행되고 있으며, substructuring기법에 사용되는 수치적분 알고리즘의 효율성 및 새로운 보완이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 근래에 구조물의 진동제어(vibration control)를 목적으롤 개발된 rubber bearing, viscous damper 등은 두드러진 감쇠특성을 갖고 있는 장치로서 strain-rate 효과에 비교적 민감하다. 지금까지의 유사동적실험을 준정적으로 실험이 수행되었으나, 이러한 장치가 설치된 구조물의 진동제어 성능실험을 위해서는 가능한 실시간(real time)에 가까운 실험 진행속도를 갖는 것이 유리하다. 최근에 Nakashima는 digital servomechanism을 이용하여 실시간에 가까운 실험속도의 유사동적 실험을 수행하였으며, 이에 대한 지속적인 연구를 진행하고 있다.
