Low-tension cables have been increasingly used in recent years due to deep-sea developments and the advent of synthetic cables. In the case of low-tension cables, large displacements may happen due to relatively small restoring forces of tension and thus the effects of fluid and geometric non-linearities and bending stiffness. A Fortran program is developed by employing a finite difference method. In the algorithm, an implicit time integration and Newton-Raphson iteration are adopted. For the calculation of huge size of matrices, block tri-diagonal matrix method is applied, which is much faster than the well-known Gauss-Jordan method in two point boundary value problems. Some case studies are carried out and the results of numerical simulations are compared with a in-house program of WHOI Cable with good agreements.

In this study we proposed a simplified finite element model of anchor bolt system inserted through concrete structures considering clamping forces. The three different finite element types using LS-DYNA are applied for numerical efficiency of the anchor bolt modeling. Combined beam and solid elements are used to reflect the tension state at internal part of anchor bolt due to torques. The clamping forces due to torques are considered by introducing a compression for a nut plane modeled by beam elements. The numerical examples show good agreement with different element types. Parametric studies are focused on the various effects of different element types on the induced axial and shear forces of anchor bolts considering clamping forces.

사면 안정 해석은 주로 파괴 활동면의 전단 강도와 발휘되는 전단 강도의 최대비로서 표현되는 파괴활동의 추정을 위해 기존의 고전적인 방법을 사용하거나 이와 유사한 방법등이 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 방법들은 토질에 있어서의 상호 작용력과 그에 따른 전당력 및 사면 활동면의 반복되는 추정등의 가정으로 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토질전체를 연속체로 규정하고 비선형 유한요소법을 이용한 토질의 실제 응력과 강도를 정확하게 계산하였다. 사면 안정은 점차적 인증력의 증가로서 사면의 붕괴 활동면이 나타나FEo 까지로 해석되었다. 제시된 방법의 세부적인 사항은 예제를 통하여 설명되어 있다.

In this study, the slip behavior of high-tension bolted joints subjected to compression force is investigated through 3D finite element analysis and experiments. The relation with sliding load, bolt deformation, and failure load are studied with the metal thickness affecting the bolted joint. The post-sliding behavior considering bolt stiffness is presented and compared with the results by finite element and experiments. The finite element model is constructed by solid elements in ABAQUS, in consideration of all the friction effects between metal plates and bolts. The stress-strain relations in the literature are used, and the sliding displacements and axial stresses around the bolt connection are investigated. The flexural buckling of species happened when the plate thickness is less than the bolt diameter. However, the shear failures of bolt occurred in the opposite case.

유한요소법을 이용하여 스프링으로 연속 지지되고 축방향 하중이 작용하는 핵연료봉의 자유진동 해석올 수행하였다. 본 해석에는 지지격자 지지점에서 핵연료봉의 변위가 구속되지 않는 실제 경계조건을 반영하였다. 이러한 경계조건은 지지점 스프링 상수에 의하여 핵연료봉 해석모델의 탄성항이 약화되는 현상을 반영할 수 있어서 지지점이 구속된 기존의 모델보다 고유진동수를 작게 예측한다. 스프링 상수가 어떤 임계값 이하를 갖는 경우 고유진동수 뿐만 아니라 모드형상도 크게 변하기 때문에 지지점을 구속한 모델에 의한 해석은 실제 진동현상을 상당히 왜곡 할 수 있다. 핵연료봉에 작용하는 축방향력이 인장력에서 압축력으로 감소함에 따라 고유진동수도 감소하지만 핵연료봉의 고유형상은 변하지 않았다. 지지격자 스프링 상수의 점진적인 감소와 핵연료봉 축방향 압축력의 감소를 동시에 적용하는 경우 고유 진동수는 두 변수를 별도로 적용했을 때 얻은 최소값의 변화에 따르는 경향을 나타내었다.

본 연구는 자기부상력의 선형 및 비선형효과가 이동중인 자기부상열차의 부상공극에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 자기공극의 피드백을 포함한 1자유도 차량에 대한 운동방정식을 구성하고, 최적능동제어기법을 적용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과 차량의 속도가 증가함에 따라 자기부상력의 선형 및 비선형효과가 자기부상차량의 부상공극에 미치는 영향에 뚜렷한 차이가 발생함을 알 수 있다. 결국 자기부상열차의 정확한 해석을 위해서는 자기부상력의 비선형효과를 고려한 해석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The maximum unit point resistance ($q_{max}$) of rock socketed drilled shafts subjected to axial loads was investigated by a numerical analysis. A 3D Finite Difference Method (FDM) analysis and a Distinct Element Method (DEM) analysis were performed with varying rock elastic modulus (E), discontinuity spacing ($S_j$), discontinuity dip angle ($i_j$), and pile diameter (D). Based on the results of obtained, it was found that the ultimate point resistance ($q_{max}$) increased as rock elastic modulus (E) and rock discontinuity spacing ($S_j$) increased. But, it was found that $q_{max}$ decreased as pile diameter (D) increased. As for the influence of the dip angle of rock discontinuity ($i_j$), it was shown that $q_{max}$ decreased up to 50% of maximum value within the range of $0^{\circ}$ < $i_j$ < $60^{\circ}$ due to the shear failure at rock discontinuities. Furthermore, it was found that if $20^{\circ}{\leq}i_j{\leq}40^{\circ}$, influence of $i_j$ should be taken into account because $q_{max}$ tended to approach a minimum value as $i_j$ approached a value near the friction angle of the discontinuity (${\phi}_j$).

Stone column is one of the soft ground improvement method, which can enhance ground conditions such as the settlement reduction and the increasement of bearing capacity with applying the crushed stone instead of sand. In recent, general construction material, sand is in short of supply. Therefore, the bearing capacity improvement by the stone column is considered as the alternative method needed in many cases so the bearing capacity estimation is considered as important point. Nevertheless, adequate estimation methods to predict bearing capacity of stone column considering stone column and improvement effect of ground is not yet prepared. For the analysis of above mentioned points, the behavior of stone column were simulated as numerically on various property cases of crushed stone and surrounded ground. Through the numerical analysis of simulation results, the formula for the bearing capacity estimation of stone column was suggested. This formula was verified by comparing the prediction result of in situ test.

This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation on the load carrying capacity and consolidation behavior of suction piles. Three dimensional numerical models which reflect realistic ground conditions and installation procedures including the ground-suction pile interface were adopted to conduct a parametric study on variables such as the length-diameter ratio and the loading configurations, i.e, vertical, horizontal, and combined loads. The results indicated that the load carrying capacity of a suction pile can only be realistically obtained when the interface behavior between the suction pile and the ground is correctly modeled. Also carried out was the stress-pore pressure coupled analysis to investigate the consolidation behavior of the suction pile after the application of a vertical loading. Based on the results, failure envelops and associated equations were developed, which can be used to estimate load carrying capacity of suction piles installed in similar conditions considered in this study. The results of consolidation analysis based on the stress-pore pressure coupled analysis indicate that no significant excess pore pressure and associated consolidation settlement occur for the loading configuration considered in part due to the load transfer mechanism of the suction pile.
