The aim of this study was to compare the differences in closing extraction spaces between maxillary first premolar and second premolar extractions using 3-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: Maxillary artificial teeth were selected according to Wheeler's dental anatomy. The size and shape of each tooth, bracket and archwire were made from captured real images by a 3D laser scanner and FEA was performed with a 10-noded tetrahedron. A $10^{\circ}$ gable bend was placed behind the bull loop on a $0.017"{\times}0.025"$ archwire. The extraction space was then closed through 12 repeated activating processes for each 2mm of space. Results and Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the retraction of anterior teeth was less for the second premolar extraction than for the first premolar extraction. The anterior teeth showed a controlled tipping movement with slight extrusion, and the posterior teeth showed a mesial-in rotational movement. For the second premolar extraction, buccal movement of posterior teeth was highly increased.

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.

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.

This study carried out three-dimensional finite element analysis and structural safety evaluation of attachable roadside barriers. The effects of diaphragm distance and the number of bolts on displacements and maximum stresses for various parameters are studied using the LS-DYNA finite element program for this study. In this study, the existing finite element analysis of barriers using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study static behaviors and structural safety of the barrier with module structures connected by anchor bolt inserted through concrete bridge decks. The numerical results for six parameters are verified by comparing different models with displacements and stress distribution occurred in the barrier and shows good structural performance.

본 논문은 미세구조의 마이크로 액추에이터의 구동해석을 위한 결과로써 3차원 유한요소해석(Finite Element Analysis, FEA)을 이용하여 수행하였다. 마이크로머신과 같은 미소구조물을 해석하는 경우, 컴퓨터의 메인 프로세스에 비해 프리프로세서(pre-processor)의 비중이 높아지고 있어 그 효율화가 가장 중요하다. 수작업에 의존해야 했던 지난날의 요소분할법 기술은 최근에 들어 여러 연구자들에 의해 개발되고 있다. 특히, 복합현상을 다루는 정전 액추에이터에 직접적인 적용에 다소 어려움이 있는데 3차원적인 수치 및 실험평가는 실용적인 문제에서 비추어 볼 때 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서로서의 역할을 하는 마이크로 정전 액추에이터의 기본설계를 위한 토대를 구축하고자 3차원적인 FEA 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 미세 회전운동을 분석하였다. 그 결과 설계된 모델에서 먼저 자중해석과 Mode 해석에서 기준치를 모두 만족하였다. 또한 설계된 액추에이터의 형상에 따른 회전자의 변형해석을 수행하여 시작토오크와 탄성한계까지의 위치제어에 필요한 회전각을 구하였으며, 정전장 해석을 통하여 시작토오크는 전압 $V^2$에 비례함을 알 수 있었다.

Bi-directional pile load test (briefly called 'BDH PLT') cannot be performed at loading levels where ultimate bearing capacity could be assessed in field, it is not possible to precisely determine both ultimate load and yield load and under loading. Since the load is transmitted separately to the skin and the end unlike the static pile load test (briefly called 'SPLT') and the direction of loading on the skin is opposite, such methods could have a result different from actual movements of shafts. In this study, three-dimensional finite element method (briefly called '3D FEM') analysis was conducted from results of the BDH PLT, made with barret piles, which were large-diameter cast-in-place concrete piles, and the calculated design constants were applied to the 3D FEM analysis of the SPLT to interpret them numerically and then, actual behaviors of cast-in-place concrete piles were estimated. First, using the results of the BDH PLT with cast-in-place concrete piles, behaviors of the piles made by loading upwards and downwards were analyzed to calculate load-displacement. Second, the design constants, calculated by the 3D FEM analysis and the back analysis, were applied on the 3D FEM analysis for the SPLT, and from these results, behaviors of the SPLT through the BDH PLT was analyzed. Last, the results of the 3D FEM analysis of the SPLT through the BDH PLT was expressed in relationships as {A ratio of bearing capacity of the SPLT and of the BDH PLT (y)} ~ {A ratio of reference displacement and pile circumference (x)}, and they were all classified by reference displacement at 10.0 mm, 15.0 mm, and 25.4 mm.

A fundamental study of drilled shafts subjected to lateral cyclic loading in weathered soil was carried out based on field tests and numerical analysis. The emphasis was given on quantifying the cyclic p-y curve function from lateral cyclic loading tests and three-dimensional finite element analysis. Lateral cyclic loading tests and three-dimensional finite element analysis were carried out to investigate the behavior of drilled shafts according to the direction of cyclic loading. Based on the field tests and numerical analysis, a modified lateral load transfer relationship and design chart with degradation factors were proposed by considering the characteristics of cyclic loading. It was found that the prediction by the proposed p-y curve function is in good agreement with the general trends observed by in-situ measurements, and it represents a practical improvement in the prediction of lateral displacement and bending moment distribution of drilled shafts subjected to cyclic loading.
