Radar Cross Section(RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is with a radar. A larger RCS indicates that an object is more easily detected. Informally, the RCS of an object is the cross-sectional area of a perfectly reflecting sphere that would produce the same amount of reflection strength as the object in question would. In order to estimate RCS of aircraft weapons the external surface is modeled as a collection of simple shape elements. And the overall RCS is estimated as a vector sum of configuring elements' cross-sections which are well known given by analytic formulae. A RCS estimation code is developed for a typical shape of Air-To-Surface bombs and missiles. Size of weapons and location of fins are implemented in the code in addition to the presence of canards. The ability to predict radar return from flying vehicles becomes a critical technology issue in the development of stealth configurations. This simplified method of RCS estimation is known to be fast and accurate enough in an optical region of high frequency incident radio wave.

This paper is concerned with the investigation of the structural behavior of waffle structure. Parametric variation on waffle floor thickness, main beam depth and column sizes are imposed to study the effects on mode shapes and natural frequencies of waffle structures. Comparisons between FEM models using shell and 3D-solid elements have also been made. The analysis result has shown that the mode frequencies increase with i) increase in main beam depth at level 2 and ii) decrease in waffle slab thickness at level 3. Both 3D and 2D model shown similar mode shapes. Besides, there is a consistent difference in mode frequencies between 3D and 2D model ranging from 25% to 36%.

유한요소모델개선기법은 계측된 동특성을 모사하는 구조해석모델을 구하는 방법으로서 손상탐지 및 구조건전도감시를 위해 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 유한요소모델개선기법에는 다양한 종류의 동특성데이터가 사용될 수 있는데, 본 연구에서는 고유진동수와 모드형상을 사용한 경우와 고유진동수와 주파수응답함수를 사용한 경우를 각각 사용해 실험실 규모의 구조물의 손상 위치 및 손상정도를 추정하였다. 4층 철골조의 골조구조물로서 진동대를 이용하여 원구조물에 백색잡음 가진실험을 실시한 후 손상의 모사를 위해 1층 부분의 보 부재를 작은 단면의 부재로 교체하고 동일한 실험을 반복하였다. 보 부재 교체 전 후에 계측된 데이터와 두 종류의 모델개선기법을 각각 적용하여 손상탐지를 실시한 후 그 정확도를 분석하였다.

Flexible pavement responses to vehicular loading, such as critical stresses and strains, in each pavement layer, could be predicted by the multilayered elastic analysis. However, multilayered elastic theory suffers from major drawbacks including spatial dimension of a numerical model, material properties considered in the analysis, boundary conditions, and ill-presentation of tire-pavement contact shape and stresses. To overcome these shortcomings, three-dimensional finite element (3D FE) models are developed and numerical analyses are conducted to calculate pavement responses to moving load in this study. This paper introduces a methodology for an effective 3D FE to simulate flexible pavement structure. It also discusses the mesh development and boundary condition analysis. Sensitivity analyses of flexible pavement response to loading are conducted. The infinite boundary conditions and time-dependent history of calculated pavement responses are considered in the analysis. This study found that the outcome of 3D FE implicit dynamic analysis of flexible pavement that utilizes appropriate boundary conditions, continuous moving load, viscoelastic hot-mix asphalt model is comparable to field measurements.

This work presents the free vibration characteristics of laminated composite corrugated rectangular plates using the analytical method. Because it is very difficult to determine its mechanical behavior of 3-dimensional corrugated structures analytically, the equivalent homogenization model is adapted to investigate the overall mechanical behavior of corrugated structures. The corrugated element can be homogenized as an orthotropic material. Both the effective extensional and flexural stiffness of this homogenized equivalent orthotropic material are considered in the analysis. The present analytical results are validated by those obtained from 3D finite element analysis based on shell elements. The natural frequencies and global vibration mode shapes obtained from present analytical and finite element analysis are presented. Some numerical results are presented to check the effect of the geometric properties.

A new enhanced 8-node hybrid/mixed plane stress elements based on assumed stress fields and modifed shape functions has been presented. The assumed stress fields are derived from the non-conforming displacement modes, which are less sensitive to geometric distortion. Explicit expression of shape functions is modifed so that it can represent any quadratic fields in Cartesian coordinates under the same condition as 9-node isoparametric element. The newly developed element has been designated as 'HQ8-$14{\beta}$'. The presented element is compared with existing elements to establish its accuracy and efficiency. Over a wide range of mesh distortions, the element presented here is found to be exceptionally accurate in predicting displacements.

정상 주행 중에 핸들을 급조향하여 요-마크가 생성되면서 일어난 사고들은 핸들 급조향의 원인을 파악해야 대책 수립이 가능하다. 즉 이들 사고의 속도산정과 차량의 운동과정 및 요-마크 생성 이전의 급 조향 당시 위험 요소를 분석해야 대책에 연결될 수 있으나, 아직 정확한 원인규명이 어려운 실정에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정상 주행중 핸들을 급조향하는 실험을 통하여 요-마크 생성초기 형상의 특성과 선회과정 및 속도 등을 분석하여 교통사고의 원인에 관하여 고찰하였다.

The radiation property of a Tonpilz transducer is influenced by the structural variables of the transducer. In this study, with respect to a single mode Tonpilz transducer, the radiation patterns were calculated for different head mass geometries of the same effective radiation area. The shapes of the head mass analyzed were the most popular circular, regular triangular, square, regular hexagonal and regular octagonal types, and radiation pattern equations were derived for each of the head mass shapes. Based on the derived equations, radiation patterns in accordance with the shape and size of the head mass were calculated and the results were compared with each other. Validity of the calculation results were confirmed by means of finite element analysis.

Fiber-reinforced composite materials due to their high specific strength, high stiffness and light weight are becoming increasingly used in many engineering industry, especially in the aerospace, marin and civil, etc. In this paper, the buckling load and mode shapes of composite laminates with elliptical cross-section including transverse shear deformations are analyzed. For solving this problems, a versatile flat shell element has been developed by combining a membrane element with drilling degree-of-freedom and a plate bending element. Also, an improved shell element has been established by the combined use of the addition of enhanced assumed strain and the substitute shear strain fields. The combined influence of shell geometry and elliptical cross-sectional parameter, fiber angle, and lay-up on the buckling loads of elliptical cylinder is examined. The critical buckling loads and mode shapes analyzed here may serve as a benchmark for future investigations.
