In this paper, we propose the two dimensional variable-length vector storage format which can be used for efficient storage of sparse matrix in the FEM (finite element method). The proposed storage format is the method storing only actual needed non-zero values of each row on upper triangular matrix with the total rows N, by using two dimensional variable-length vector instead of $N{\times}N$ large sparse matrix of entire equation of finite elements. This method only needs storage spaces of the number of minimum 1 to maximum 5 in 2D grid structure and the number of minimum 1 to maximum 14 in 3D grid structure of analysis target. The number doesn't excess two times although involving index number. From the experimental result, we can find out that the proposed storage format can reduce the memory space more effectively, as the total number of nodes increases, than the existing skyline storage format storing maximum column height.

In this study, the femur, the tibia, the articular cartilage and the menisci are three dimensionally reconstructed using MR images of healthy knee joint in full extension of 26-year-old male. Three dimensional finite element model of the knee joint is fabricated on the reconstructed model. Also, the FE models of ligaments and tendons are attached on the biologically suitable position of the FE model. Bones, articular cartilages and menisci are considered as homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic materials, and ligaments and tendons are modeled as truss element and nonlinear elastic springs. The numerical results show the contact pressure and the von Mises stress distribution in the soft tissues such as articular cartilages and menisci which can be regarded as important parameters to estimate the failure of the tissues and the pain of the patients.

Despite its flexibility to complex geometry, three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic(EM) modeling schemes using finite element method (FEM) have been faced to practical limitation due to the resulting large system of equations to be solved. An efficient 3D FEM modeling scheme has been developed, which can adopt either direct or iterative solver depending on the problems. The direct solver PARDISO can reduce the computing time remarkably by incorporating parallel computing on multi-core processor systems, which is appropriate for single frequency multi-source configurations. When limited memory, the iterative solver BiCGSTAB(1) can provide fast and stable convergence. Efficient 3D simulations can be performed by choosing an optimum solver depending on the computing environment and the problems to be solved. This modeling includes various types of controlled-sources and can be exploited as an efficient engine for 3D inversion.

A three dimensional adaptive finite element refinement algorithm is developed for non-linear magnetostatic field problems. In the method, the edge elements are used for finite element formulation, and the local error in each element is estimated from the fact that the tangential components of magnetic field intensity and the normal components of magnetic flux density should be continuous at the interface of the two adjacent elements. Based on the estimated error, the elements which have big error are divided into several elements using bisection method. The effectiveness of the developed algorithm is proved through numerical examples.

본 연구에서는 미소 결함주위에서 발생, 전파하는 균열들에 미치는 초기 결함 깊이와 상호 간섭 영향을 검토하기 위하여 기존 재료가 갖고 있는 결함이나 비금속 개 재물로 대신할 수 있다고 생각되는 미소 원공의 크기를 변화시킨 모델에 대해 유한 요 소법을 이용하여 3차원적으로 응력을 해석하였다. 실제 사용하고 있는 부재에 결함 들이 존재할 경우 응력장의 간섭으로 피로 균열 진전이 가속화됨으로 미소 원공 주위 의 응력 분포 및 미소 원공사이의 응력장의 간섭과 미소 원공에서 발생, 전파하는 표 면 균열의 응력 확대 계수에 미치는 영향에 대하여 비교검토 하였다.

Three-dimensional structural analysis system for nuclear containment building is presented in this paper. This system includes high-performance plate/shell elements as finite element library. It also adopts numerical modeling technique for unbonded tendon as well as bonded tendon in prestressed concrete structures. This system is constructed by connecting several in-house program to a commercial program DIANA, and then is capable of performing nonlinear analysis for ultimate pressure capacity of nuclear containment building. Finally, three-dimensional structural analysis of CANDU-type containment building is carried out in order to test the reliability of this system. These numerical results are compared with reference values, which obtained from axisymmetric structural analysis.

The more accurate numerical analysis is needed, The more important to arrange nodes and elements properly on the structures wanted to be analyzed. In this study, automatic mesh generation method is developed for triangular mesh modeling in wind tower and substructure formed in circular sections especially, which have structural and economical benefits in shallow water area. It can consider variety conditions by inputting the detail data such as height and types. Also, this study includes the comparison and verification with the mesh generation by Delaunay triangular technique on 3 dimensional space and the examples of mesh generation for proposed tower and substructure. The result of this study will be widely applied to analyze the existing and proposed models for wind turbines.
