Estimations of regional stress are demonstrated in this paper. Firstly, regional stress is defined and the characteristics of regional stress are then discussed based on the local stresses measured by the Compact Conical-ended Borehole Overcoring (CCBO) technique and the results from the earthquake focal mechanism. Secondly, the regional stresses are estimated by a back analysis of three-dimensional finite element models, using the local stresses measured by the CCBO and hydraulic fracturing.

A finite element analysis has been performed to investigate the effect of die clearance on shear planes in the fine blanking of a part of automobile safety belt. For the analysis, S45C is selected as an material, which is used in manufacturing the part of automobile safety belt, and Cockcroft-Latham fracture criterion is applied. Effect of die Clearance on die-roll width, die-roll depth, burnish zone, and fracture zone has been investigated in the finite element analysis by a rigid-plastic FEM code, DEFORM-2D. From the analysis, it has been found that die-roll depth and depth of the shear plane increase with increasing die clearance. And the burnish zone decreases with increasing die clearance, but the variation of fracture zone is opposite to that of burnish zone because the increase in die clearance requires less fracture energy. Theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results. There is a good agreement between theory and experiment.

SPR(Self-Piercing rivet) is mechanical element of joining sheet metal components without the need for pre-punched or pre-drilled holes. Newly designed SPR is developed for high joining strength and shearing strength than semi-tubular rivet. In this study, divided shank of self-piercing rivet were designed for joining DP440 and SILAFONT. Newly designed SPR was simulated by using FEM code DEFORM-3D. In simulations of SPR process, various shape of self-piercing rivet were considered for semi-tubular and newly designed SPR. In other to examine the joinability, joining load and lap-shear load of newly designed SPR were compared with semi-tubular by simulated results and experimental ones.

In this paper, a dual-servo type VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for the measuring of nano-level displacement and small thrust is proposed and developed. The shape of VCM for improving the resolution of displacement and ensuring a large displacement are presented. The FEM (finite element method) is utilized to analyze the characteristics of VCM that produces linear driving thrust and satisfies the thrust that the measurement system requires. The Prototype is fabricated and an experiment is performed in order to measure displacement. As a result of simulation and testing, the proposed VCM shows the applicable possibility for a nano-level measurement system.

변압기, 케이블, 한류기와 같은 고온초전도 선재의 전력기기의 개발과 응용에 있어서 교류손실은 기기의 운용과 효율에 밀접한 관계가 있기 때문에 중요한 연구 분야가 되고 있다. 또한 현재 전력기기에 응용 하고 있는 고온초전도 선재는 전력기기에 필요한 통전용량을 수용 할 수 없기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 선재를 적층하여 통전용량을 증대시키는 다양한 방법이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고온초전도 선재의 적층배열을 달리 하였을 때, 외부자계에 의한 고온초전도 선재의 자화손실 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 선재의 적층 배열의 형상은 Edge-to-Edge, Face-to-Face형과 Matrix형이며, 적층배열에 사용한 선재의 개수는 2, 4, 8개이다. 연구결과, 동일한 적층 수의 조건하에서 Face-to-Face형의 적층배열이 다른 종류의 배열보다 자화손실이 낮음을 확인하였고, 이는 Face-to-Face 형태로 적층 될 때 인접선재로 인한 자기차폐효과가 다른 배열의 경우보다 우수하기 때문으로 보인다.

Hydroforming is the technology that utilizes hydraulic pressure to form tube or sheet materials into desired shapes inside die cavities. Tube hydroforming provides a number of advantages over the conventional stamping process, including fewer secondary operations, weight reduction, assembly simplification, adaptability to forming of complex structural components and improved structural strength. In many case, hydroformed parts have to be structurally joined at some point. Therefore it is useful if the hydroformed automotive parts can be given a localized attachment flange. In this study for the numerical process design FE analysis was performed with DYNAFORM 5.5. Die parting angle and circumferential expansion ratio was optimized. With optimized condition, bulge and hydroforming experiments to form flange were performed. Forming characteristic at various pressure conditions was analyzed and optimized internal pressure condition was evaluated. The results show that flanged parts can be successfully produced by tube hydroforming process.

Heat flow equation and FEM have been used to calculate the hardening section of material in laser transformation hardening. SCM440 used as the diesel engine piston of vessel has been hardened by a $CO_2$ laser with the wavelength of $10.6{\mu}m$. The specimens were inclined from 0 to 70 degree to investigate the characteristics of laser hardening. The geometrical factor of heat flow equation affects the size of hardening area. The case width decreased with increasing travel speed and the case width increased with increasing inclined angle. Maximum case depth was achieved about 1.0mm and maximum hardness of laser hardened area was of 2.8 times than that of base metal. Experimental data show good agreement with the theoretical calculations for given laser hardening conditions.

The subject of the paper is an isotropic metal foam rectangular plate. Mechanical properties of metal foam vary continuously through plate of the thickness. A nonlinear hypothesis of deformation of plane cross section is formulated. The system of partial differential equations of the plate motion is derived on the basis of the Hamilton's principle. The system of equations is analytically solved by the Bubnov-Galerkin method. Numerical investigations of dynamic stability for family rectangular plates with respect analytical solution are performed. Moreover, FEM analysis and theirs comparison with results of numerical-analytical calculations are presented in figures.

The main problems in structural analysis by Finite Eelement Method are difficulty in making data file and error estimation. For decreasing these problems' pays. have been suggesting the adaptive mesh refinement and error estimation method. Posteriory error estimation methods suggested by Jang[1], Babuska[2,3], Ohtsubo[8,9], and this paper. Comparing these methods and examine their properties. According this paper, In the problem supposed having singularity, the method suggested by this paper is good, But the problem supposed having no singularity, the method suggested by Jang[1] is good. For decreasing the effect of initial mesh in p-refinement, make application h-refinement at first and apply p-refinement, and confine polynomial's degree to two, for making program simply by plural mesh models are not needed.

This paper concerns the development of a knowledge-based tunnel design system within the framework of artificial neural networks (ANNs). The system is aimed at expediting a routine tunnel design works such as determination of support patterns and stability analysis of selected support patterns. A number of sub-modules for determination of support patterns and stability assessment were developed and implemented to the system. It is shown that the ANNs trained with the results of 2D and 3D numerical analyses can be generalized with a reasonable accuracy, and that the ANN based tunnel design concept is a robust tool for tunnel design optimization. The details of the system architecture and the ANNs development are discussed in this paper.
