Automotive seat is a part to supply the convenience and safety of driver at driving. Recently, the seat has the role to protect driver from the outside impact or vibration and give the convenience except such a usage as chair. The design on structural function of the seat frame is important like the impact safety and durability. In this study, the seat is designed by adding one hollow rod to the part of seat back frame in order to enhance the structural safety and durability. This study was carried out by using CATIA and ANSYS as the design and analysis programs. As this study result through the structural and vibrational analyses, model 4 was seen to have the durability more superior than the other models. By utilizing this result, it is thought to be the useful material at designing the automotive seat frame with durability. It is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at the automotive seat frame and show the esthetic sense.

This paper presents the numerical estimation of the fatigue life for the frame box's welded parts of the marine vessel engine S60MC-C. The time-variations of the effective stresses at the critical points during a piston cycle are computed through the finite element analysis, by applying the dynamic loadings that were analytically derived in the previous paper. The fatigue lives of the welded parts are estimated by making use of the hot-spot stress extrapolation and the Palmgren-miner cumulative damage rule.

A modular underground arch structure using steel and concrete has been proposed as a structure that has a simple construction process and can effectively resist cross-sectional forces generated during construction and use. Structural behavior of modular underground arch was evaluated about span length less than 15m through 3D structural analysis and test. In general, 2D and 3D structural analysis methods may be applied for structural analysis such as underground arch and tunnels. However, if a 2D or 3D structural analysis method is applied to evaluate the structural safety of a modular underground arch structure, it is difficult to model for structural analysis and it may take an excessively long time to interpret. Therefore, it may not be reasonable as a structural analysis method for considering the structural safety and earth pressure in the design process of a modular underground arch structure. In addition, when a modular underground arch structure is configured for span lengths to which the predetermined cross-section is applicable, it may be reasonable to evaluate only the safety of the structure and cross-section according to the cross-section and load conditions. Therefore, in this study, a structural analysis model using frame elements was proposed for efficient structural safety evaluation. In addition, structural analysis results of the 2D structural analysis model and the simplified analysis model using frame elements were compared, and the structural safety of the modular underground arch structure for a span length of 20m was evaluated with a simplified analysis method.

전 세계의 대형 저속 디젤 엔진을 설계.제작하는 회사는 1980년대에 들어오면서 MAN - B&W, SULZER, MITSUBISHI의 3파전 양상을 띠고 있으며, 세계 시장점유율에서는 MAN - B&W가 50%이상을 차지하고 있다. 한국은 현재 한국중공업, 현대중공업, 쌍용중공업 및 삼성중공업에서 대형 저속 디젤 엔진을 생산하고 있다. 국내에서 생산되고 있는 대형 저속 디젤 엔진은 대부분이 MAN - B&W형이고 SULZER형이 약 20%를 차지하고 있다. 기술력은 위의 3사에 거의 의존하고 있으며, 설계보다는 생산에 치중하고 있는 실정이다. 선박용 엔진 구조물은 베드 플레이드(bed plate), 실린더 프레임(cylinder frame), 프레임 박스(frame box)등이 주 스테이 볼트(long stay bolt)에 의하여 체결되어 한 개의 대형 수직 구조물을 이루고 있으며, 프레임 박스의 안내면(guide plate)과 베드 플레이트의 베어링 지지부(bearing support)등은 엔진의 폭발력과 선박의 추진력을 직접적으로 받으므로 구조적 결함과 하자 보수의 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 사용상 및 제작상의 제문제를 해결하기 위해서는 유한요소 구조 해석 능력을 자체 보유하여 구조 설계상의 문제점을 분석하고 엔진 구조물의 취약 부위를 집중 검토하여야하며, 이를 통해 선박의 운항 중에 일어날 수 있는 사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 이러한 대형 엔진 구조물의 설계/해석 기술이 거의 없고 구조적 문제점이 발생할 경우에는 모든 사항을 설계사(licensor)에 전적으로 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 한편, 설계 기술을 보유하고 있는 MAN - B&W, NEW SULZER DIESEL사 등은 정밀 구조 해석을 통하여 기존 엔진 구조물에 대한 안전성 및 신뢰성을 높임과 동시에 신 모델 개발에 박차를 가하고 있으나, 기술 이전은 회피하고 있어 대형 엔진 구조물에 대한 구조 해석 기술의 개발이 시급하다고 할 수 있다. 본 해설에서는 CAD/CAE(Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Engineering)를 이용하여 위에서 제시된 대형 엔진 구조물의 구조해석 절차와 방법에 대해 간략히 설명하고자 한다.

Among structural systems for complex-shaped tall buildings, diagrid system is widely used because of its structural efficiency and beauty of form. Recently, mega frame is favorably employed as a suitable structural system for skyscrapers because this structural system has sufficient stiffness against the lateral forces by combination of mega members which consist of many columns and girders. Diagrid mega frame system is expected to be promising structural system for future super tall buildings. However, it takes tremendous analysis times and engineer's efforts to predict the structural behavior of tall buildings applied with diagrid mega frame system because the diagrid mega frame structure has significant numbers of elements and nodes. Therefore, efficient analytical method for all buildings applied with diagrid mega frame system has been proposed in this study to reduce the efforts and time required for the analysis and design of diagrid mega frame structure. To this end, an efficient modelling technique using the characteristics of diagrid mega frame structures and an efficient analytical model using minimal DOFs by the matrix condensation method were proposed in this study. Based on the analysis of an example structure, the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method have been verified by the comparison between the results of the proposed method and the conventional method.

This study applied finite element analysis (FEA) to the body frame of the 200-meter class multi-legged subsea walking robot known as Crabster (CR200). The body frame of the CR200 is modeled after the ribcage of a human so that it can disperse applied external loads. It is made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). Therefore, the frame is lighter and stronger than it would be if it were made of other conventional materials. In order to perform FEA for the CFRP body frame, we applied the material properties of the CFRP as obtained from a specimen test to an FE model of CFRP frame. Finally, we performed FEA with respect to the load conditions encountered when the robot is launched into and recovered from the sea. Also, we performed FEA for the frame, assuming that it was fabricated using a conventional material, in order to compare its characteristics with CFRP.

Substructuring-based hierarchical approach for design analysis and optimization of structural frames is presented in this study. The conceptual framework of this method is in the hierarchical modeling for design processes as well as structural systems and the methodology combining substructuring analysis and multilevel optimization. Mathematical models for analysis and synthesis are established on the common basis of substructuring systems. Modularized behavioral analysis, design sensitivity analysis and optimization are linked and integrated on the mathematical and structural basis of substructuring. Substructures are coordinated with the active constraints for system level and the weight ratio criteria. Numerical examples for test frames show the validity and effectiveness of the present approach.

In this paper, parametric structural analysis is presented utilizing the co-rotational(CR) shell analysis utilizing EDISON. CR shell analysis shows faster convergence than the commercial software, NASTRAN, does. The 1st natural frequency of the rear frame is obtained, which is close to that of the engine during high speed cruise. Three cases under two design variables are presented and analyzed. Gusset is shown to be more effective among those which feature the same weight change. The results presented in this paper will be applicable for further researches to improve the durability of a motorcycle rear frame.
