Steel bridges, which have been damaged by load and corrosion, need repair or strengthening. That is a cause of decreasing the durability of structure. In order to solve these problems, welding repair and strengthening methods can be considered. In general, cutting and welding procedure is carried out during the repair welding. Therefore, the investigation of the behavior of residual stress and deformation generated by cutting and welding is very important for safety of structure. Residual stress and deformation produced by gas cutting and arc welding were analyzed using 2D and 3D thermal elasto-plastic FEM. According to the results, the magnitude of temperature was analyzed by 2D-FEM is smaller than that was analyzed using the 3D-FEM at the start and end edge of flange. And the magnitude and distribution of residual stress of perpendicular direction of the cutting line and welding line was analyzed by the 2D-FEM was similar to that was analyzed by 3D-FEM. Therefore, it is possible to predict cutting and welding residual stress by 2D and 3D FEM.

3차원 유한요소 지하수 모형인 FEMWATER를 이용하여 실험실내에 축조된 모형 제방의 정상상태 침투흐름을 분석하였다. 수치 모형의 비교와 검증을 위해 실험실내에 모형 제방을 축조하였다. 홍수위 증가에 따른 비정상 상태의 침투수위 변화를 모의하였으며, 제외지 수위는 0.15 m, 0.20 m, 0.25 m, 0.30 m의 4가지 수심(각각 Case1~4) 조건으로 하였다. FEMWATER 모형의 매개변수는 투수계수, 수리전도도가 있으며, 각 매개변수에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 수치모델링은 수리모형실험과 실험조건을 동일하게 하였으며, 수리모형실험에서 사용한 제방재료의 투수계수를 사용하였으며 제방의 투수계수는 1.35 m/day이다. 수치모형에 사용한 3차원 ?자의 층별 최대 높이는 0.05 m로 제한하였으며 3차원 유한요소망은 삼각형 요소를 사용하였다. 수치해석 결과는 수리모형실험 결과와 비교적 같은 양상을 보였으며, 침윤선의 상태를 확인할 수 있었다.

At the initial design stage, for rapid evaluation of strength of ship structures, finite element analysis using beam elements is carried out in general. In beam modeling of ship structures, brackets are usually represented by rigid elements to simplify the analysis. Extent of rigid ends, which is called as a span point, can be determined from the three kinds of view points, i.e., bending, shearing and axial deformation. In this paper, a 2-dimensional novel beam element is developed and a method to replace the 3-dimensional analysis with 2-dimensional analysis is proposed. The developed novel beam element named rigid-ended beam element can consider the effect of three kinds of span points within one element, which was impossible in modeling with the ordinary beam element. Calculated results for the portal frame using the rigid-ended beam element agree with the results using membrane elements. And also, the proposed semi 3-dimensional analysis method which includes two step analysis using influence coefficients shows good accuracy. Structural analysis using the rigid-ended beam element and the semi 3-dimensional method is revealed to have good computing efficiency due to unnecessity of elements corresponding to the brackets and simplification of 3-dimensional analysis.

The two-dimensional elastoplastic analysis was peformed to reveal a detail residual stress distribution of ceramic/metal joint specimen using finite element method and X-ray method. The highest tensile residual stress, ${\sigma}_x$ perpendicular to the interface appeared at the edge of the ceramic near the interface. In the vicinity of the interface, the high stress concentration occurs and residual stress distributes three-dimensionally. Therefore, the measured stress distribution differed remarkably from the result of the two-dimensional finite-element analysis. Especially at the center of the specimen near the interface, the residual stress, ox obtained from the finite element analysis was compressive, whereas X-ray measurement yielded tensile ${\sigma}_x$. Therefore, it is also attempted to investigate the finite element model for the prediction of residual stress ${\sigma}_x$ distributed nearly the interface of joint.

The finite element formulation is developed for predicting strain distributions and weld line movements in the forming processes of laser welded blank. The welded zone(WZ) is modelled with several narrow finite elements whose material characteristics are analytically obtained from those of base metals based on the tensile tests. In order to show the reliability and effectiveness of weld element the forming process of hemispherical dome stretching and auto-body door inner panel stamping are simulated FEM predictions show good agreements with experimental observations.

When dynamic loads such as mechanical load, wind load, and seismic load, which causing a vibration, acts on the body of the 3-D framework resting on soil foundation, it is required to consider the dynamic behavior of soil-space framework interation system. Thus, this study presents the 3-dimensional soil-interaction system analyzed by finite element method using 4-node plate elements with flexibility, 2-node beam elements, and 8-node brick elements for the purpose of idealizing an actual structure into a geometric shape. The objective of this study is the formulation of the equation for a dynamic motion and the development of the finite element program which can analyze the dynamic behavior of soil-space framework interaction system.

In this study, we evaluated the structural integrity and weight of a rocket motor with a torispherical dome by size optimization. Size optimization was achieved by first-order and sub-problem methods, using the Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). For rapid design verification, a modified 2D axisymmetric finite-element model was used, and the bolt pre-tension load was expressed as function of the ratio of the cross-sectional area. The thickness of the dome and the cylindrical part of the rocket motor were selected as the design parameters. Our results showed that the weight and structural integrity of the rocket motor at the initial design stage could be determined more rapidly and accurately with the modified 2D axisymmetric finite-element model than with the 3D finite-element model; further, the weight of the rocket motor could be saved to maximum of 17.6% within safety limit.

This paper presents a finite element formulation for the three-dimensional hierarchical solid element using Integrals of Legendre polynomials. The proposed hexahedral solid element is composed of four different modes including vertex, edge, face, and internal mode, respectively. The eigenvalue and patch test have been carried out to confirm the zero-energy mode and constant strain condition. In addition to these, a posteriori error estimation has been studied for the p-adaptive finite element analysis that is based on a smoothing technique to compute a post-processed solution from the finite element solution. The uniform p-refinement and non-uniform p-refinement are compared in terms of convergence rate as the number of degree of freedom is increased. The simple cantilever beam is tested to show the performance of the proposed solid element.

To describe hysteretic behavior of steel structures under dynamic loading such as earthquake, the dynamic cyclic plasticity model considering stress-strain relationship and characteristics of used steel materials under static-dynamic deforming is required. In this paper, mechanical characteristics and stress-strain relationship of SM490 was clarified by carrying out static-dynamic monotonic and cyclic loading test. A dynamic cyclic plasticity model of SM490 was proposed based on the test results and applied 3-dimensional finite element analysis using finite deformation theory. An analytical method developed by the authors was verified validity and accuracy by comparing both analysis and test results. The comparison result shows that the analytical method developed by the authors can predict static-dynamic hysteretic behavior of steel structures with accuracy.
