A constitutive model based on a combination of a micromechanics-based weakened interface elastic model (Lee and Pyo, 2007) and a crack nucleation model (Karihaloo and Fu, 1989) is proposed to predict the effective elastic behavior of particle-reinforced composites. The model specifically considers imperfect interfaces in particles and microcracks in the matrix. To exercise the proposed constitutive model and to investigate the influence of model parameters on the behavior of the composites, numerical simulations on uniaxial tension tests were conducted. Furthermore, the present prediction is compared with available experimental data in the literature to verify the accuracy of the proposed constitutive model.

본 논문에서는 표면효과와 비선형 탄성효과를 고려한 FCC 나노박막의 순차적 멀티스케일 해석 모델을 제시한다. 표면에서의 구성방정식은 표면응력과 표면탄성계수를 이용하여 선형으로 표시되며, 표면효과를 나타내기 위한 표면물성들은 EAM 포텐셜을 이용한 원자적 계산 방법으로 계산된다. 두께가 얇은 나노박막은 표면응력으로 인하여 면내 방향으로 수축 또는 인장의 변형이 발생하게 된다. 나노박막의 평형상태에서의 변형율은 두께가 얇은 박막의 경우 재료가 선형 탄성 영역을 벗어나는 값을 가지는 경우가 많으므로 나노박막의 해석시 벌크 영역의 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려해야 한다. 이러한 비선형 탄성 효과를 고려하기 위해 본 연구에서는 FCC 구조를 가지는 금속의 비선형 탄성 모델을 제시하고, EAM 포텐셜로 계산된 응력과 탄성 계수를 이용하여 매칭 기법을 통하여 비선형 탄성 모델의 계수들을 결정한다. 또한 Cauchy-Born Rule 모델과 분자동역학 전산모사를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 비선형 탄성 모델에 대한 검증을 수행한다.

Numerous pavement response models rely on constitutive relationships to describe the response of granular materials. In this study, a nonlinear elastic constitutive model which is a function of bulk stress and octahedral shear stress is proposed to describe the resilient behavior of thick granular base courses under flexible airfield pavements. Special features of this model are its accuracy to predict the nonlinear resilient behavior, its simplicity to determine the material constants and its ability to model the secondary effect of decreasing the resilient modulus due to shear effects. In laboratory tests, the nonlinear resilient behavior of granular materials is investigated and values of resilient moduli are determined to provide data for verifying the proposed model. It is found that the resilient modulus is much more dependent on the states of stresses in terms of bulk stress and deviator stress than any other factors. Result of comparison shows that predicted values of resilient moduli are in good agreement with the measured values indicating that the proposed model is suitable to describe the nonlinear resilient behavior of the granular material with wide range of stress states which meet in airfield pavements.

Design and analysis of road subgrade system, which is exposed to repetitive loading condition, uses resilient modulus. The behavior of railway subgrade system will not be quite different from that of road system. Following this phenomenological feature of the subgrade system, this paper introduces the implementation of the resilient modulus based constitutive model on a commercial finite element software. The implementation of the resilient modulus models such as K-${\theta}$ and Uzan on a FE program has been conducted previously. These model assumes that the material state reaches to the nonlinear elastic condition and with further application of repetitive loads, the response of material is completed in elastic condition. According to the recent test results performed on cohesive subgrade soils, however, permanent deformation occurs with repetitive loads. With aids of previously suggested models the permanent deformation cannot be modeled. To overcome such limitation a plastic potential derived from the test results and simple failure criterion based constitutive model is developed. The comparison between the analysis and test results shows a good correlation.

A stiffness model has been proposed to predict elastic constants of twisted yam composites. The model is based upon the unit cell structure, the coordinate transformation, and the volume averaging of compliance constants for constituent materials. For the correlation of analytic results with experiments, composite samples of various yam twist angles were tested, and strength and Young's modulus under tensile, compressive, and shear loading have been obtained. The sample was fabricated by the RTM process using glass yarns and epoxy resin. The correlations of elastic constants showed relatively good agreements. The model provides the predictions of the three-dimensional engineering constants, which are valuable input data for the analytic characterization of textile composites made of twisted yam.

An accurate hysteresis model of an elastomer is important for quantifying viscoelastic energy loss. We suggest a highly nonlinear hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model of elastomers. The model captures a nonlinear viscoelastic characteristic by combining Yeoh's hyperelastic model and Hoofatt's hysteresis model used Neo-Hookean hyperelastic model. Analytical and numerical models were generated from uniaxial cyclic tests of an elastomer under a sinusoidal load with a mean strain of 150%, amplitudes of 20~80%, and frequencies of 0.02~0.2Hz. The viscoelastic model can highly capture the viscoelastic energy loss up to a strain of 230%.

최근 지진에서 발생한 건물의 손상을 살펴보면, 지진하중을 받는 건물의 3차원 거동에 의해서만 설명할 수 있는 경우가 많이 있다. 특히, 비대칭의 평면을 가지는 건물에서 발생하는 비틀림 거동은 2차원 모델로는 파악하기가 어렵기 때문에 구조물과 개별 부재의 3차원 거동을 보다 정확히 이해함으로써 구조물의 내진능력을 더 정확히 평가할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 3차원 모델에 의한 비탄성 동적해석이 필요하게 된다. 현재, 전산기의 발달과 더불어 많은 자유도를 요구하는 3차원 구조물의 비탄성해석이 가능해지고, 구조부재의 비탄성거동에 관한 많은 실험으로 다양한 구조부재의 모델이 개발되어 지진에 대한 건물의 설계시 개인용 컴퓨터를 사용하여 이러한 3차원 비탄성 동적해석의 반영이 가능하게 되었다. 실제로 지진이 많이 발생하는 국가에서는 비탄성해석에 대해 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있으며, 일부 국가에서는 건물의 내진설계시 강진에 대한 비탄성해석을 요구하고 있다. 이 글에서는 삼성건설 기술연구소에서 도곡동 102고층 건물의 해석에 사용하였던 3차원 비탄성 동적해석 프로그램인 CANNY-E에 대하여 그 구성과 특징을 소개하고자 한다.

To establish a floating offshore wind turbine simulation model, a tension leg platform is added to an onshore wind turbine. The wind load is calculated by using meteorological administration data and a power law that defines the wind velocity according to the height from the sea surface. The wind load is applied to the blade and wind tower at a regular distance. The relative Morison equation is employed to generate the wave load. The rated rotor speed (18 rpm) is applied to the hub as a motion. The dynamic behavior of a 2-MW floating offshore wind turbine subjected to the wave excitation and wind load is analyzed. The flexible effects of the wind tower and the blade are analyzed. The flexible model of the wind tower and blade is established to examine the natural frequency of the TLP-type offshore wind turbine. To study the effect of the flexible tower and blade on the floating offshore wind turbine, we modeled the flexible tower model and flexible tower-blade model and compared it with a rigid model.

In solid mechanics, the peridynamics theory has provided a suitable framework for material failure and damage propagation simulation. Peridynamics is computationally expensive since it is required to solve enormous nonlocal interactions based upon integro-differential equations. Thus, multiscale coupling methods with other local models are of interest for efficient and accurate implementations of peridynamics. In this study, peridynamic models are restricted to regions where discontinuities or stress concentrations are present. In the domains characterized by smooth displacements, classical local models can be employed. We introduce a recently developed blending scheme to concurrently couple bond-based peridynamic models and the Navier equation of classical elasticity. We demonstrate numerically that the proposed blended model is suitable for point loads and static fracture, suggesting an alternative framework for cases where peridynamic models are too expensive, while classical local models are not accurate enough.
