압력절점은 요소의 균등한 압력증분을 1개의 자유도로 갖는 절점이며, 유한요소의 하중-변위 평형방정식에 체적과 압력의 관계를 추가하여 한계압력 이후에서도 체적변화에 따른 압력증분을 직접적으로 제저할 수 있는 절점이다. 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트의 평면 구성 방정식과 적층정식화에 적용한 쉘 요소에 압력절점을 추가하고 해석시 체적을 제어함으로써 철근콘크리트 원통형 구조에 대해 파괴까지의 극한내압 능력을 해석할 수 있는 체적제어 비선형 해석기법을 개발하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 해석기법을 이용하여 철근콘크리트 원통형 구조물에 대하여 비선형 해석을 수행하여 한계압력과 한계압력 이후의 구조물의 거동을 예측하였으며 실험결과와 비교 검증하였다.

An improved analysis model for material nonlinearity induced by elasto-plastic deformation and damage including large strain response was proposed. The elasto-plastic-damage constitutive model based on the continuum damage mechanics approach was adopted to overcome limitations of the conventional plastic theory, which can manage the anisotropic tonsorial damages evolved during time-independent plastic deformation process of materials. Updated Lagrangian finite element formulation for elasto-plastic damage coupling problem including large deformation, large rotation and large strain problems was completed to develop a numerical model which can predict all kinds of structural nonlinearities and damage rationally. Finally, a finite element analysis code for the 2-dimensional plane problem was developed and the applicability and validity of the numerical model was investigated through some numerial examples. Calculations showed reasonable results in both geometrical nonlinear problem due to large deformation and material nonlinearity including the damage effect.

This study is concerned with an application of the Boundary Element Method to 2-dimensional elastoplastic stress analysis on the material nonlinearities. The boundary integral formulation adopted an initial stress equation in the inelastic term. In order to determine the initial stress increment, the increment of initial elastic strain energy due to elastic increment in stressstrain curve was used as the convergence criterion during iterative process. For the validity of this procedure, the results of B.E.M. with constant elements and NISA with linear elements where compared on the thin plate with 2 edge v-notches under static tension and the thick cylinder under internal pressure. And this paper compared the results of using unmedical integral with the results of using semi-analytical integral on the plastic domain integral.

In the present paper, the overall state of the arts of ice mechanics which is the most typical research topic of the artic engineering field was studied. And also, ice loads genrated by ice-structure interaction were estimated using numerical approach. The effects of viscous property of ice sheets to the ice load were investigated. The time dependent deformation behaviors of ice was modeled by visco-plastic problem using the finite element formalism. Constitutive model representing the material properties of ice was idealized by comblned rheological model with Maxwell and Voigt models. Numerical calculations for the bending and crushing behavior of ice sheet which are the most typical interaction modes between ice sheets and structures were carried out. The time dependent viscous behaviors of ice sheets interaction forces acting on structures were analyzed and the results were studied in detail.

In this paper, material non-linear behavior of PZT wafer(3203HD, CTS) under high electric field and stress is experimentally investigated and the non-linearity of the PZT wafer is numerically simulated. Empirical functions that can represent the non-linear behavior of the PZT wafer have been extracted based on the measured piezo-strain under stress. The functions are implemented in an incremental finite element formulation for material non-linear analysis. New definition of the piezoelectric constant and the incremental strain are incorporated into the finite element formulation for a better reproduction of the non-linear behavior. With the new definition of the in incremental piero-strain the measured non-linear behavior of the PZT wafer has been accurately reproduced even for high electric field. For validation of the measured non-linear characteristics and the proposed approach, a PZT bimorph beam actuator has been numerically and experimentally tested. The predicted actuation displacement, based on the material nonlinear finite element analysis, showed a good agreement with the measured one.

An incremental approach to predict the time dependent flexural behavior of composite girder is presented in the framework of incremental finite element method. Age dependent nature of creep, shrinkage, and maturing of elastic modulus of concrete is prescribed in the incremental tangent description of constitutive relation derived based on the first order Taylor series expansion applying to the total from of stress-strain relation. The loop phenomenon in which age dependent nature of concrete causes stress redistribution and it causes creep in turn is taken into account in the formulation through the incremental representation of constitutive relation. The developed algorithm predicts the time dependent deflections of 4.8m long two span double composite box girder subjected to shrinkage, maturing of elastic modulus, and creep initially induced by self weight. Comparison shows a good agreement between the predicted and measured results.
