The prediction of binary droplet collisions is important in the formation of falling drops and the evolution of sprays. The droplet velocity, impact parameter, and drop-size ratio influence the interaction between the droplets. The effect of these parameters results in complicated collision phenomena. Droplet collisions can be classified into four types of interactions: bouncing, coalescence, reflexive separation, and stretching separation. In the present study, the interfacial flow problem of the droplet collision was numerically simulated by using the level set method. 2D axisymmetric simulations on the head-on collisions and 3D simulation on the off-center collisions were performed. The numerical results of droplet behavior after the collision agreed well with the experimental and analytical results. The mixing of the mass of the initial droplets after the collision was also predicted by using different species index of colliding droplets.

두 물체의 충격운동량-충격 및 탄성파 발생의 순으로 작용하도록 하면 계 내에서 충돌 후 생기는 운동량의 관성 속도와 충돌기간동안 발생하는 탄성파의 충격에너지 전달속도가 다른 경우가 있다. 이것은 충돌기간동안 총 운동량은 보존되나 선 운동량이 비 보존되는 경우가 있어서 충돌기간동안 비 보존된 내부 운동량의 시간 적분만큼 충돌을 가한 질량중심이 이동했다는 의미이다. 충돌기간동안 충격파는 탄성파에 근사시키고 그것은 군속도에 근사시켜 이론적 근거를 만들고 실험에 의해 확인했다. 폐쇄된 계 내에서 내부에너지를 이용하여 특별한 두 물체의 충돌기간동안 비 보존되는 운동량 때문에 질량중심이 이동되는 것에 대해 해석한다.

본 논문에서는 해상풍력발전기와 선박의 충돌시 타워와 기초보강재의 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 풍력발전기는 5MW급 풍력발전기를 나셀, 타워, 보강재, 바닥판, 기초로 나누어서 모델링 하였다. 나셀은 집중질량으로 타워의 상부에 위치하였고 타워, 보강재, 바닥판은 탄소성거동을 한다고 가정하여 Shell 요소로 모델링 하였다. 선박은 풍력발전기와 마찬가지로 탄소성거동을 한다고 가정하였고 실제모델에 대해 풍력발전기와의 정면충돌로 고려하였으며, 충돌속도는 2.0m/sec로 가정하였다. 선박과 풍력발전기의 충돌 해석은 비선형 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS/Explicit을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 선박충돌시 타워와 보강재의 거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 타워에서 대부분의 에너지를 소산하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 반 잠수식 시추선과 선박과의 충돌해석에의 정적 압축법의 응용에 대해 다루었다. 선박이 시추선의 취약 부재에 충돌하는 경우를 가정하였으며 이 취약한 부재의 충돌에너지 흡수능력을 상세 해석 없이 추출하는 방법으로, 관련된 구조물 전체 강성 매트릭스를 부재의 양단에 정적 압축을 시켜 양단 유연도를 추출한 뒤 이 유연도를 양단에 가진 원통형 부재를 해석함으로써 외력-변형 관계를 얻을수 있었다. 충돌에너지 양은 외력-변형 선도를 적분함으로써 얻을 수 있다. 새로운 방법에 의한 결과를 3차원 수치해석 방법과 강체 프라스틱 방법에 의해서 얻어진 결과와 상호 비교하였으며, 이 새로운 방법이 해양구조물 충돌해석이 매우 효과적으로 응용될 수 있음을 알게 되었다.

Tests using a middle velocity propulsion impact machine (MVPIM) were performed to verify the impact resistance capability of sandwich concrete panels (SCP) in a modular liquefied natural gas (LNG) outer tank, and numerical models were constructed and analyzed. $2{\times}2m$ specimens with plain sectional characteristics and specimens including a joint section were used. A 51 kg missile was accelerated above 45 m/s and impacted to have the design code kinetic energy. Impact tests were performed twice according to the design code and once for the doubled impact speed. The numerical models for simulating impact behaviors were created by LS-DYNA. The external steel plate and filled concrete of the panel were modeled as solid elements, the studs as beam elements, and the steel plates as elasto-plastic material with fractures; the CSCM material model was used for concrete. The front plate deformations demonstrated good agreement with those of other tests. However the rear plate deformations were less. In the doubled speed test for the plain section specimen, the missile punctured both plates; however, the front plate was only fractured in the numerical analysis. The impact energy of the missile was transferred to the filled concrete in the numerical analysis.

This paper describes the crashworthiness evaluation and performance improvement of tilting train made of sandwich composites. The applied sandwich composite of carbody structure was composed of aluminum honeycomb core and glass/epoxy & carbon/epoxy laminate composite facesheet. Crashworthiness analysis of tilting train was carried out using explicit finite element analysis code LS-DYNA 3D. The 3D finite element model and 1D equivalent model were applied to save the finite element modeling and calculation time for crash analysis. The crash conditions of tilting train were conducted according to four crash scenarios of the Korean railway safety law. It found that the crashworthiness analysis results were satisfied with the performance requirements except the crash scenario-2. In order to meet the crashworthiness requirements for crash scenario-2, the stiffness reinforcement for the laminate composite cover and metal frames of cabmask structure was proposed. Consequentially, it has satisfied the requirement for crash scenario-2.

To deal with ship collision or grounding, double hull structure has been applied to ships carrying dangerous cargoes. Studies about ability of double hull structure to absorb collision energy and determining fracture state are still under researching. In this study, commercial analysis code, LS-DYNA3D, is used to analyze collision strength of ships in various scenarios. 46K Chemical／Product Carrier is used as analysis subject ship. Study about Energy-Indentation and Force-Indentation is conducted under conditions that weight and collision velocity are changed. Results of this study are very helpful to make mechanism of collision accident clear and to supply useful information about collision strength criteria.

This study performed a nonlinear finite element crash analysis of guardrail structures using supports made of composite materials. In this study, we used a new [0/90/90/0] laminated Boron fiber composite for resisting the crash effects. Based on the improved ground-structure interaction model, appropriate ground properties to the support were determined. In particular, the complex crash mechanism of guardrails was studied using various parameters. The parametric studies are focused on the various effects of car crash on the structural performance and thickness of supports. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing those using existing steel materials.

This paper presents the evaluation of crashworthiness and rollover characteristics of low-floor bus vehicles made of aluminum honeycomb sandwich composites with glass-fabric epoxy laminate facesheets. Crashworthiness and rollover analysis of low-floor bus was carried out using explicit finite element analysis code LS-DYNA3D with the lapse of time. Material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the composite laminate facesheet model, and the effective equivalent damage model for the orthotropic honeycomb core material. The crash conditions of low-floor bus were frontal accident with speed of 60km/h. Rollover analysis were conducted according to the safety rules of European standard (ECE-R66). The results showed that the survival space for driver and passengers was secured against frontal crashworthiness and rollover of low-floor bus. Also, The modified Chang-Chang failure criterion is recommended to predict the failure mode of composite structures for crashworthiness and rollover analysis.

This paper presents a model simulating the folding process and collision dynamics of "ddakji", a traditional Korean game played using paper tiles (which are also referred to as ddakji). The model uses two A4 sheets as the base materials for ddakji. The folding process involves a series of boundary conditions that transform the wing part of the paper structure into a twisted configuration. A rigid plate boundary condition is also adopted for squeezing, establishing the shape and stress state of the game-ready ddakji through dynamic relaxation analysis. The gaming process analysis involves a forced displacement of the striking ddakji to a predetermined collision position. Collision analysis then follows at a given speed, with the objective of overturning the struck ddakji--a winning condition. A genetic algorithm-based optimization analysis identifies the optimal collision conditions that result in the overturning of the struck ddakji. For efficiency, the collision analysis is divided into two stages, with the second stage carried out only if the first stage predicts a possible overturn. The fitness function for the genetic algorithm during the first stage is the direction cosine of the struck ddakji, whereas in the second stage, it is the inverse of the speed, thus targeting the lowest overall collision speed. Consequently, this analysis provides optimal collision conditions for various compression thicknesses.
