선진국 국립연구소에서만 개발하여 적용중인 hydrocode 또는 wavecode를 최근에 국내에서 C++언어로 ExLO를 개발하였다. 3차원 FEM을 적용한 본 코드의 가장 두드러진 특징은 Lagrangian/ALE/Eulerian solver 들을 모두 한 프레임에 내포하고 있어 적용범위에 따라 즉 변형양상에 따라 선택적인 해석 solver의 적용이 가능하다는 것이다. 즉 문제에 따른 (변형의 양상에 따른) 최적의 시뮬레이션 해석 solver 적용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 ExLO를 이용하여 고속 물체의 충돌, 파편의 구조물 관통해석 및 대기 중 Air-blast 충격파 전파해석, 물속에서의 수중폭발 충격파 생성 및 전파해석 등의 예제를 소개하고 그 신뢰성을 확인해 보고자 한다. 대체로 군사적인 적용이 많으나 차츰 민간분야의 다양한 방재현상 시뮬레이션에 적용이 가능할 것이다.

The impact damage behavior of steel-strengthened concrete panels exposed to explosive loading is investigated. Since real explosion experiments require the vast costs to facilities as well as the blast and impact damage mechanisms are too complicated, numerical analysis has lately become a subject of special attention. However, for engineering problems involving blast wave and fragment impact, there is no single numerical method that is appropriate to the various problems. In order to evaluate the retrofit performance of a steel-strengthened concrete panel subject to blast wave and fragment impact loading, an explicit analysis program, AUTODYN is used in this work. The multi-solver coupling methods such as Euler-Lagrange and SPH-Lagrange coupling method in order to improve efficiency and accuracy of numerical analysis is implemented. The simplified and idealized two dimensional and axisymmetric models are used in order to obtain a reasonable computation running time. As a result of the analysis, concrete panels subject to either blast wave or fragment impact loading without the steel plate are shown the scabbing and perforation. The perforation can be prevented by concrete panels reinforced with steel plate. The numerical results show good agreement with the results of the experiments.

In this paper, the blast resisting performance of partially reinforced CFT columns was compared with the normal CFT columns to evaluate the effect of reinforcing with steel plates. Autodyn which is a specialized hydro-code for analysis of explosion and impact was used to simulate the structural behavior of the CFT columns under the blast loadings. The interaction between concrete and surrounding steel plates was modeled with friction and join option to represent the realistic damage of columns. According to the analysis, the partially reinforced CFT column showed enhanced blast resisting performance than the normal CFT columns. Also the improvement of blast resisting performance was depended on the height of reinforcing steel plates.

In general, the large loads which are applied from explosion, impact, earthquake and wind at a short time caused the materials of structures to large deformations, rotations and strains locally. If such phenomena will be analyzed, hydrocodes which can be considered fluid-structure interaction under computational continuum mechanics are inevitably needed. Also, the explosion mechanism is so complicated, it is reasonable that the behaviors of structure are predicted through explosion analyses and experiment at the same time. But, unfortunately, it is true that explosion experiments are limited to huge cost, large experiment facilities and safety problems. Therefore, in this study, it is shown that the results of explosion analyses using the AUTODYN are agreed with those of existing explosion experiments for reinforced concrete slabs within reasonable error limits. And the explosion damage of the same reinforced concrete slab are assessed for quite different reinforcement arrangement spacings, concrete cover depths, and vertical reinforcements. From the explosion analyses, it is known that the more the ratio of slab thickness to reinforcement arrangement spacing is increased, and small-diameter reinforcements are used than large-diameter reinforcements on the same reinforcement ratio, and vertical reinforcements are used, the more the anti-knock capacities are improved.

The present study introduces a calibration method of the CSC model implemented in the LS-DYNA program for considering the material properties of ultra-high performance concrete(UHPC). Based on previous experimental studies, various parameters, which constitute three shear failure surfaces, pressure-volumetric strain curve, fracture energy, dynamic increase factor(DIF), and so on, are modified. Then, the proposed calibration method is verified by comparing the numerical result with the experimental data through the single element analysis. In addition, based on the established finite element models, the applicability of the calibrated CSC model is examined for UHPC structures subjected to impact and blast loadings.

Progressive collapse analyses of high-rise buildings subjected to abnormal loading such as fires, impacts, earthquakes, typhoon, bomb blasts etc. are intended. However it is difficult to perform collapse experiments of the real scale building to determine the capacity of the structure under an extreme loading events. In this study, collapse behavior of a 15 story RC structure building loaded by external explosion pressures were simulated using Extreme Loading Structures (ELS) software. The standoff distance between the RC building and explosives of 1500 kg was 1, 2, 5, 10, and 15 meters. The explosive demolition analysis techniques based on removal of partial support structures following blast scenario was adapted to investigate the transition process of progressive collapse-local damage.

A pretensioner is a safety device that protects occupants by pulling the seat belt in the event of a vehicle collision. However, since the pretensioner is driven by a explosive method, it is necessary to replace not only the gas generator but also all connecting parts including the manifold after an accident. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an elastic force-based pretensioner that can be used safely and semi-permanently. After analyzing the operating mechanism of the existing pretensioner from a thermodynamic/dynamic point of view, the spring stiffness that can be deployed within an appropriate operating time was determined by converting the gas explosion energy into elastic energy. In addition, the coil spring shape that satisfies the elastic stiffness was designed in consideration of the vehicle interior installation standard. Finally, the operating performance of the pretensioner driven by elastic force was verified through fabrication.

선박의 구조설계단계에서 최종붕괴강도를 설계기준으로 삼는 경우는 거의 없으나 최근에 각국 선급에서 최종붕괴강도를 의무적인 설계기준으로 삼기 위해 자체적인 해석법과 설계식을 제시 하고 규정화하는 작업을 진행시키고 있다. [12, 17, 31, 32]. 1994년 ISSC [1]에서도 토론된바와 같이 특히 새로운 구조방식을 가진 선박의 합리적인 구조설계를 위하여는 해상플렛폼의 구조설 계시와 마찬가지로 삼아야 할 것이다. 본고에서는 선각거더의 최종붕괴강도에 대한 해석법과 간이계산식에 관한 연구동향을 문헌조사를 통하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 순수굽힘모멘트가 작용 하는 문제의 경우 최종붕괴강도 해석법은 어느정도 확립되었다고 판단되지만 최종붕괴강도의 간이계산식은 아직도 정도 등의 면에서 개선의 여지가 남아 있다고 생각된다. 앞으로 순수 굽 힘모멘트뿐만아니라 조합하중을 받는 경우와 피로균열을 비롯한 초기구조손상을 가진 노후화된 선박에 대한 최종붕괴강도를 보다 정밀하게 해석하기 위한 해석법의 개발과 간이계산식의 도 출이 필요하다고 사료된다. 또한, 충돌, 좌초, 폭발 등에 기인된 선각거더의 붕괴강도 평가를 위한 해석법의 개발도 앞으로 남은 과제중의 하나이다.
