This study presents a new gridless finite difference method for solving elastic crack problems. The method constructs the Taylor expansion based on the MLS(Moving Least Squares) method and effectively calculates the approximation and its derivatives without differentiation process. Since no connectivity between nodes is required, the modeling of discontinuity embedded in the domain is very convenient and discontinuity effect due to crack is naturally implemented in the construction of difference equations. Direct discretization of the governing partial differential equations makes solution process faster than other numerical schemes using numerical integration. Numerical results for mode I and II crack problems demonstrates that the proposed method accurately and efficiently evaluates the stress intensity factors.

In order to investigate the characteristics in tensile strength of transversely isotropic rock, a new anisotropic tensile failure function was suggested. According to the function, the tensile strength is minimum in the normal direction to a weakness plane and rises exponentially to its maximum on a plane perpendicular to the weakness plane. The anisotropic function is defined in terms of three strength parameters which can be identified trom direct tensile tests of transversely isotropic rocks. By incorporating the suggested function into the critical plane approach, a numerical procedure which enables to search the tensile strength and the direction of critical plane at failure was presented. The validity of the suggested numerical procedure was checked through the simulation of direct tensile tests reported in a literature. The numerical results from the simulation were in good agreements with those from the laboratory tests.

An explicit direct time integration method based solution algorithm is proposed to predict dynamic postbuckling response of thin plates. Based on the von Karman's plate equations and Marquerre's shallow shell theory, a rectangular plate finite element is formulated and utilized in this study. The element formulation takes into account geometrical nonlinearity and initial deflection of plates. The solution algorithm employs the central difference method. Using the computer program developed by the authors, dynamic postbuckling behavior of elastic thin plates under impact loading is investigated by considering the time variation of load and load duration. The efficiency of the proposed solution algorithm is examined through illustrative numerical examples.

In this paper, a variational formulation for plane elasticity problems is derived based on an isogeometric approach. The isogeometric analysis is an emerging methodology such that the basis functions for response analysis are generated directly from NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) geometry. Furthermore, the solution space for the response analysis can be represented in terms of the same functions to represent the geometry, which enables to provide a precise construction method of finite element model to exactly represent geometry using B-spline base functions in CAD geometric modeling and analyze arbitrarily shaped structures without re-meshing. In this paper, a continuum-based adjoint sensitivity analysis method using the isogeometric approach is extensively derived for the plane elasticity problems. The conventional shape optimization using the finite element method has some difficulties in the parameterization of geometry In the isogeometric analysis, however, the geometric properties are already embedded in the B-spline basis functions and control points so that it has potential capability to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. Through some numerical examples, the developed isogeometric sensitivity analysis method is verified to show excellent agreement with finite difference sensitivity.

In the current research, an algorithm of performance-based seismic retrofit design of reinforced concrete columns using FRP jacket has been proposed. For exact prediction of the nonlinear flexural analysis or FRP composite RC members, multiaxial constitutive laws of concrete and composite materials have been presented. For seismic retrofit design, an algorithm of direct displacement-based design method (DDM) proposed by Chopra and Goel (2001) has been newly applied to determine the design thickness of FRP jacket in seismic retrofit of reinforced concrete columns. To compare with the displacement coefficient method (DCM), the DDM gives an accurate prediction of the target displacement in highly nonlinear region, since the DCM uses the elastic stiffness before reaching the yield load as the effective stiffness but the DDM uses the secant stiffness.

최근, 자유수면을 갖는 비압축성 유체의 해석을 위해 Hirt and Nichols(1981)가 제안한 VOF법이 자유수면을 취급하는 많은 학문분야에서 활발히 활용되고 있다. 특히, 일본에서 잠제에 의한 쇄파해석에 암전 등(1994)이 처음으로 VOF법을 적용한 이래 많은 연구자에 의한 공동연구의 결과로 개발된 CADMAS-SURF(해안개발기술연구 Center, 2001)는 사용자가 직접 입·출력을 제어할 수 있는 효과적인 2차원파동장의 해석프로그램으로 알려져 있다. 국내에서는 김 등(2001, 2002)이 최초로 VOF-SOLA법을 이용한 수치파동수로를 제안하고 잠제주변의 파동장해석을 수행하고 있다.

본 연구는 등방탄성체에 고속충격하중이 작용하는 경우에 대한 유한요소해석에 관한 것으로 대상구조는 여러 가지 모양의 2차원 평면구조를 택하였다. Galerkin 방법을 이용하여 유한요소 정식화하였으며 직접시간적분법에 의해 수치해를 구하였다. 본 해석에서는 균열이 없는 평판으로 수치해와 이론해를 비교하여 수치해의 신뢰성을 확인하였으며, 0°, 30°, 45°경사 균열이 없는 평판에 적용한 3가지 예를 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과는 이론해의 결과와 상호 잘 일치하였다.

제 1주제에는 총 106편의 논문이 접수되었으며, 이 논문들의 내용, 성격, 해석방법 등을 정리하였다. 일반적으로 논문의 수준은 모두 우수했으며, 구두발표를 위한 논문을 선정하는데 어려움이 있었다. 해석적인 방법에 있어서는 수치해석 방법이, 계측에 있어서는 직접 계측방법이 가장 일반적으로 사용되었다. 논문 면 수에 제한이 있었기 때문에 대부분의 저자들은 자세한 해석내용을 생략하고 있었다. 특이한 점은 암석역학과 유체동력학과의 접합이라 할 수 있으며, 암반 안전성에 미치는 시간의 영향 등에 대한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어져야 한다.

The effect of physical properties of coal fuels and carbon particle on performance of DCFC (Direct Carbon Fuel Cell) was investigated. Shenhua and Adaro were selected as coal fuel and carbon particle was used for comparing with coal. The Ultimate, proximate, SEM, XRD, and BET analysis of samples were conducted. The component of char was more important than that of raw coal because the operating temperature of reactor is higher than devolatilization region of coal. The surface area and volume of pores affected significantly the performance of the system than content of fixed carbon or char rates. The performance of DCFC with carbon particle was in proportional to working temperature.
