Finite difference method using not general SSG (standard staggered grid) but RSG (rotated staggered grid) was applied to simulation of elastic wave propagation. Special free surface boundary condition such as imaging method is needed in finite difference method using SSG in elastic wave propagation. But free surface boundary condition in finite difference method using RSG is easily solved with adding air layer or vacuum layer. Recently PML (Perfectly Matched layer) is widely used to eliminate artificial reflection waves from finite boundary because of its' greate efficiency. Absorbing ability of CPML (convolutional Perfectly Matched Layer) that is more efficient than that of PML and CPML that don't use splitting of wave equation that should be adapted to PML was applied to FDM using RSG in this study. Frequency absorbing characteristic and energy absorbing ability in CPML layer were investigated and CPML eliminated artificial boundary waves very effectively in FDM using RSG in being compared with that of Cerjan's absorbing method. CPML method also diminished amplitude of waves in boundary layer of solid-liquid model very well.

Absorbing boundary conditions are used to mitigate undesired reflections that can arise at the model's truncation boundaries. We apply a complex frequency shifted perfectly matched layer (CFS-PML) to elastic wave modeling in the frequency domain. Modeling results show that the performance of our implementation is superior to other absorbing boundaries. We consider the coefficients of CFS-PML to be optimal when the kinetic energy becomes to the minimum, and propose the modified CFS-PML that has the CFS-PML coefficient ${\alpha}_{max}$ defined as a function of frequency. Results with CFS-PML and modified CFS-PML are significantly improved compared with those of the classical PML technique suffering from large spurious reflections at grazing incidence.

3차원 유한요소법에 정합 조건을 구현하기 위해 유한한 두께를 갖는 흡수체을 이용하였다. 흡수체는 자유공간과의 경계에서 모든 입사각에 대해 무반사특성을 갖으며, 일단 흡수체 내로 전파된 파는 흡수체의 끝에 도달하기 전에 흡수체를 통과하면서 충분히 손실되도록 하였다. 이러한 흡수체는 ${\varepsilon}_r$과 ${\mu}_r$에 비등방복소주대각텐서를 사용하여 구현된다. 구현된 흡수체층은 구형도파관에 적용하여, 전파상수를 이용하여 정합시킨 경우와 결과를 비교하였다.

One of the major difficulties in the seismic analysis of a dam-reservoir system is the treatment of the energy radiation in the upstream direction of the reservoir. In the paper, a new transmitting boundary is presented that can model properly the radiation of energy in the far field direction of a semi-infinite reservoir with constant depth. In the newly developed method, effects of surface wave motion are taken into accounted and the reservoir-foundation interaction is approximately accounted for with an absorbing boundary condition. If a dam has vertical upstream face and the infinitely long reservoir maintains constant depth, then the proposed transmitting boundary can be directly coupled with the model of dam body. In present study, the dam body is assumed to behave elastically and modeled by finite element method. Seismic responses of a dam model are investigated using the newly developed transmitting boundary.

In this study, the Z-shape fabric design is proposed as the way to enhance the ballistic performance of fabrics which are used as the intermediate layer of stuffed Whipple shield configurations. The Z-shape fabric employs a different boundary condition from those of conventional configurations of fabrics which include 4 edge fixed. Impact analysis on Z-shape aramid yarns and fabrics using LS-DYNA software was performed and the results were compared with 2 edge fixed and 4 edge fixed fabrics to identify the high velocity impact energy absorption characteristics of the Z-shape fabric. It was revealed that the Z-shape showed different impact behavior and higher energy absorption performance than 2 and 4 edge fixed fabrics.

Dynamic numerical analysis of geotechnical problems requires a way to simulate the decrease of energy as the domain of interest gets larger. This phenomenon is usually referred to as radiation damping or geometric attenuation and it is distinguished from material damping in which elastic energy is actually dissipated by viscous, hysteretic, or other mechanism. The fact that the domain of analysis in numerical modeling must be chosen, however, causes a need for special attention at the boundary. This observation leads directly to the idea of determining the dynamic response of the interior region from a finite model consisting of the interior region subjected to a boundary condition which ensures that all energy arriving at the boundary is absorbed. This paper presents a simple methodology to simulate transmitting boundaries condition using viscoelastic infinite elements within the recently developed "OpenSees" finite element code. The methodology used here provides that the level of absorption for traveling waves is efficient enough for practical purposes, but unsatisfactory for the case of sharp incident angles. The effectiveness of the infinite elements for the absorption of incident waves at boundaries is evaluated via example analysis.

In this study, the flexural performance of Highly Ductile Cement Composites(HDCC) mimicking boundary conditions of shellfish skin layer was evaluated. To improve ductility by mimicking the boundary skin layer structure of shellfish, the method of stratification by charging between precast panels using HDCC and the method of distributing PE-mesh to the interface surface were applied. Evaluation of flexural performance of layered cement composite materials mimicking boundary conditions of shellfish skin layer resulted in increased ductility of all test specimens applied with stratified cross-section compared to typical bending test specimens. The layered method by inserting PE-mesh showed excellent ductility. This is most likely because the inserted PE-mesh made an interface for separating the layers while the HDCC pillars in the PE-mesh gave adhesion between layers.

Power and signal transmission using electromagnetic waves are essential in modern times, and a guided structure is needed to transmit electromagnetic waves efficiently through the desired path. This paper performed an electromagnetic simulation using the in-house code for the 2-D/3-D waveguide using the finite element method. The accuracy of the analysis was verified by comparing it with the results of HFSS, a representative electromagnetic wave simulation software. In addition, the performance of the Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC), which is essential to truncate the infinite computational domain for computational electromagnetics, was analyzed. Finally, the parallelization technique was applied to accelerate the simulation speed, demonstrating performance improvement.
