기능경사재(FGM)는 구성 물질의 체적분율(volume fraction)이 복합재 전체에 걸쳐 연속적 그리고 기능적으로 분포되어 있어, 기존의 이종물질 접합식(bi-material-type) 복합재보다 현저히 우수한 열기계적 특성을 가진다. 하지만, 기능경사 내열복합재의 열-탄소성 거동은 체적분율의 분포형태와 경사층이 차지하는 상대두께비에 따라 절대적으로 좌우된다. 본 연구는 기능경사 내열복합재의 열-탄소성 특성의 이들 두 설계인자에 대한 파라메트릭 FEM해석을 다룬 것이다. 열-탄소성 이론과 유한요소 근사화에 따라 연구용 2차원 FEM 프로그램을 개발하고, 대표적인 3층 구조의 2차원 기능경사 내열복합재의 열-탄소성 특성을 설계변수의 다양한 조합에 따라 분석하였다.

The linear analysis for the balance of linear momentum of a structure is relatively easy to perform, but the error becomes large when the structure experiences large deformation. Therefore, the material and geometric nonlinearity need to be considered for the precise calculations in that case. The plastic flow of a ductile steel-like metal mainly transforms its dissipated mechanical energy into heat, which transfers under the first and second law of thermodynamics. This heat increases the temperature of the material and the strength of the material decreases accordingly, which affects mechanical behavior of the given structure. This paper presents a finite-strain thermo-elasto-plastic steel model. This model can handle large deformation and thermal load simultaneously, which is common during earthquake periods. Two 3-dimensional finite element analyses verify this formulation.

A water-cooled calorimeter chamber with 8 cooling channels based on KSR-III sub-scale chamber has been designed and manufactured. One dimensional empirical correlation has been used at the design stage and full three-dimensional CFD analysis has been conducted to confirm the cooling condition for hot fire test is safe. Predicted heat flux is accurate around the nozzle throat when the thermal resistance of carbon deposit is considered. However relatively large difference is observed in chamber part.

고강도 알루미늄 합금 링롤재의 급냉, 링 팽창(expansion) 및 링 압축(compression) 응력제거처리후 잔류응력을 예측하기 위하여 2차원 축대칭 열해석 및 탄소성 해석을 수행하였다. 급냉 및 응력제거처리 후 2단 과시효 처리(T73)된 링롤재에 대하여 3단계 절단법(Three step sectioning method)을 적용하여 링롤재의 두께에 따른 잔류응력 분포를 측정하였으며, 측정결과를 급냉 및 응력제거처리후 잔류응력 해석결과와 비교분석하였다. 링의 급냉후 원주 및 축방향의 잔류응력 해석값은 T73후 측정값과 비슷한 경향을 보였으며, 링의 내면과 외면에서 압축응력을 나타내었고 중심에서 인장응력을 나타내었다. 잔류응력은 링 팽창(T7351) 및 링 압축(T7352) 적용후 T73에 비해 현저히 감소하였으며, 축방향의 제거 효과가 원주방향보다 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 링 압축에 의한 제거효과가 링 팽창보다 크게 나타났다. 링롤재의 응력제거처리는 제거 효과 및 실용성 측면에서 링 압축 공정이 유리하며, 치수제어 및 장비용량 측면에서 링 팽창 공정이 유리하다는 결론을 얻었다.

In a nuclear power plant, the fuel assembly, which is composed of fuel rods, burns, and the high temperature can generate power. The fuel rod consists of pellets and a cladding that covers the pellets. It is important to understand the pellet-cladding mechanical interaction with regard to nuclear safety. This paper proposes simulation of the PCMI. The gap between the pellets and the cladding, and the contact pressure are very important for conducting thermal analysis. Since the gap conductance is not known, it has to be determined by a suitable method. This paper suggests a solution. In this study, finite element (FE) contact analysis is conducted considering thermal expansion of the pellets. As the contact causes plastic deformation, this aspect is considered in the analysis. A 3D FE module is developed to analyze the PCMI using FORTRAN 90. The plastic deformation due to the contact between the pellets and the cladding is the major physical phenomenon. The simple analytical solution of a cylinder is proposed and compared with the fuel rod performance code results.

This article aims to analytically research for influence of residual stresses on bending moment responses against welded steel pipes subjected to quasi -static or dynamic loadings. The residual stresses of the welded steel pipe are computed by three-dimensional welding simulation. The bending moment responses of the welded and seamless steel pipes are determined by using three-dimensional dynamic elastoplastic FE analysis as a function of loading rate. It is seen from analytical results that the welded steel pipe shows lower moment response comparing to the seamless steel pipe, and moment difference between seamless and welded steel pipes tends to decrease as loading rate increases.

This study evaluated the displacements of a Cu bar in the Y-direction and the relationship between swaging pressures and total contact forces to increase the productivity of the rotor core swaging process. Elastic-plastic numerical analyses of four different Cu bar shapes were performed with a constant swaging pressure to evaluate the displacements of the Cu bar in the Y-direction and the contact force distributions at the contact surfaces during the swaging process. Based on the numerical analysis results, the following conclusions were obtained. First, a simplified 2-dimensional cyclic symmetric analysis model was developed for the numerical analysis of the rotor core swaging process. Second, the final displacements of the Cu bar in the Y-direction were nearly the same as the change of the Cu bar size at a constant swaging pressure. Third, a linear relationship between the swaging pressures and the total contact forces, the so called resistance forces, was suggested.

Recently constructed bridges often have long spans and simple structure details considering not only the function but other important factors such as aesthetics, maintenance, construction duration and life cycle cost. Therefore, bridges require high-performance steels like extra-thick plate steels and thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) steels. TMCP stels are now gaining wide attention due to their weldability improved strength and toughness. Recently, SM570-TMC steel, which is a high-strength TMCP steel with a tensile strength of 600 MPa, has been developed and applied to steel structures. However, using this steel in building steel structures requires the elucidation of not only material characteristics but also the mechanical characteristic of welded joints. In this study, high-temperature tensile properties of SM570-TMC steel were investigated through the elevated temperature welded joints of SM570-TMC steel were studied through the three-dimensional thermal elasticplastic analyses on the basis of mechanical properties at high temperatures obtained from the experiment.

This study evaluates the magnitudes and distributions of contact tangential forces with the swaging depth of punch acting at the contact surfaces between a rotor core slot and a Cu bar during a sequential rotor core swaging process. The effects of the core slot shape on the magnitudes and distributions of the total contact forces were investigated to improve the productivity of the rotor core swaging process. Parametric elastic-plastic numerical analyses were performed using simplified two-dimensional cyclic symmetric plane strain models to evaluate the contact force distributions at the contact surfaces. The numerical analysis results show that the total contact tangential forces increased by about 55% with the adjacent Cu bar swaging process. The length of the core slot is a dominant factor in the core slot design as result of the increased total contact tangential forces during the swaging process of the rotor core.

To predict the effect of ring expansion and ring compression on residual stress relief of Al 7175 ring rot]s, 2-D axisymmetric thermal analysis and elastoplastic analysis were performed. The residual stress distributions along the thickness of T73, T7351 and T7352 treated rings were measured using three step sectioning method. The measured results were compared to numerical ones for quenched and stress relieved rings. After quenching, calculated hoop and axial residual stresses were similar to measured ones for T73 treated rings. The residual stresses of T7351 and T7352 treated rings were decreased remarkably compared to T73 treated rings. The effect of axial residual stress relief was superior to that of hoop one, and also ring compression to ring expansion. It was concluded that ring compression is advantageous over ring expansion in view of stress relief effect and practicality, and vice versa in view of dimensional control and press power.
