In this paper, a numerical analysis using the finite element method (FEM) is presented which models the eddy current testing (ECT) of tubes with 3-dimensional defects. For the description of 3-dimensional eddy current problems, the governing equation is derived from the Maxwell's equations. The 3-dimensional FEM formulation with hexahedral elements is carried out using the Galerkin weighted residual method. The INCONEL 600 steam generator tube with inner and outer diameter defects is adopted for the numerical analysis, and the ECT signal, which is the trajectory of the probe impedance, is calculated. For the verification of the numerical analysis method, results of numerical calculations and experiments are compared and they show good agreements. Based on this verification, several defect signals are predicted and their characteristics are investigated with the variation in the defect depth and the circumferential angle of the defect.

고강도콘크리트의 역학적 특성은 그 압축강도의 증가 이외에도 여러 가지 변화를 갖게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 여러 특성의 변화 중 철근과의 부착특성에 관한 해석적 접근을 통하여 고강도콘크리트부재의 부착설계를 위한 이론적인 접근을 시도하였다. 해석의 변수로는 콘크리트의 압축강도, 부착길이 및 피복두께 등 3가지의 변수를 선정하였으며, 해석의 목적은 본 연구에 앞서 실시된 실험의 결과를 예측할 수 있는 단순화된 모델을 개발하고 이를 이용하여 부착실험의 결과를 해석적으로 분석하도록 하였다. 이에 따라 사용된모델은 실험에서 사용한 보단부형 부착시험체의철근과 콘크리트 부착부분의 기하학적 형상을 비교적 실제와 유사하게 모델링시킨 2차원의 평면모델을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과를 살펴보면 고강도콘크리트의 부착강도는 콘크리트의 피복두께에는 선형으로 비례하게 되나 부착길에는 비례하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결고는 기존의 실험결과와도일치하고있으며, 그 원인은 콘크리트의 강성증가에 따라 하중단측에 응력이 집중됨으로써 보통강도콘크리트의 경우와 같이 응력의 균등한 배분을 기대할 수 없기 때문으로 나타났다.

Flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is defined as a high speed rotating flywheel system that can save surplus electric power. The FESS is proposed as an efficient energy storage system because it can accumulate a large amount of energy when it is operated at a high rotating speed and no mechanical problems are encountered. The FESS consists of a shaft, flywheel, motor/generator, bearings, and case. It is difficult to simulate rotor dynamics using common structure simulation programs because these programs are based on the 3D model and complex input rotating conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a program for the FESS based on the 2D FEM was developed. The 2D FEM can model easier than 3D, and it can present the multi-layer rotor with different material each other. Stiffness changing of the shaft caused by shrink fitting of the hub can be inputted to get clear solving results. The results obtained using the program were compared with those obtained using the common programs to determine any errors.

단순한 형상의 소음기는 평면파이론에 의해 비교적 간단하게 음향성능을 해석적으로 구할 수 있다. 그러나 소음기의 형상이 복잡해지거나 해석하고자 하는 주파수의 범위가 평면파의 차단주파수 이상이 될 경우 소음기 내부의 음장이 평면파에서 벗어나게 되어 평면파 이론에 의한 해석은 실제와 상당한 오차가 발생하게 되므로 음장에 대한 3차원 해석이 필요하다. 이론적으로 3차원 문제를 해석할 수 있는 경우는 형상이 극히 단순한 경우에 국한되므로 유한요소법(FEM), 경계요소법(BEM)과 같은 수치해석적인 방법이 이용되고 있다. 경계요소법은 적분 커넬(kernel)의 특이성(singularity) 문제가 있지만 대상 영역의 경계면만을 이산화함으로써 모델링에 소요되는 시간과 노력을 절약할 수 있으므로 음향문제 해석에 있어서 효율적인 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 3차원 경계요소법 프로그램을 개발하고 평면파이론에 의한 해석이 어려운 여러가지 형태의 소음기에 대한 음향성능을 예측하고 실험으로 검증하는것이다. 특히, 단일영역으로 해석이 불가능한 다공형 소음기에 영역분할법을 적용하여 계산하고 결과를 검토하였다.

This paper presents a seismic response prediction method using vibration tests of cabinet-type electrical equipment installed in a nuclear power plant. The proposed method consists of three steps: 1) identification of earthquake-equivalent forces based on lumped-mass system idealization, 2) identification of a state-space-equation model relating input-output measurements obtained from the vibration tests, 3) seismic prediction using the identified earthquake-equivalent forces and the identified state-space-equation. The proposed method is advantageous compared to other methods based on FEM (finite element method) model update, since the proposed method is not influenced by FEM modeling errors. Through a series of numerical verifications on a frame model and 3-dimensional shell model, it was found that the proposed method could be used to accurately predict the seismic responses, even under considerable measurement noise conditions. Experimental validation is needed for further study.

Linear GMR isolator which is profitable for transmitting analog signal was modeled and the output voltage and current in relation to the input current were investigated. GMR isolator modeling was divided into two parts, namely magnetic and electric parts. The flow chart of the modeling was drawn in which the MR curve of the spin valves were incorporated to obtain the electrical voltage output. For magnetic modeling, 3-dimensional model of planar coil was analyzed by FEM method to obtain the magnetic field strength corresponding to the input current. Coil efficiency of the planar coil having magnetic core layer was shown to have about 1.5 times larger than that of the coil without the magnetic core layer. The feedback coil current(output current) corresponding to the input coil current was calculated to be within ${\pm}$0.25 mA of the linear fitting function of I$\_$out/= I$\_$in/-5 mA. Also, the response time and output waveforms were obtained when the coil current was a rectangular waveform. The rise time and fall time was 6 ${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively when the slew rate of the op-amp was 0.3 V/${\mu}\textrm{s}$.

In designing a gravity-type anchorage of earth-anchored suspension bridge, the contact friction between a blasted rock mass and the concrete anchorage plays a key role in the stability of the entire anchorage. Therefore, it is vital to understand the shear behavior of the interface between the blasted rock mass and concrete. In this study, a portable 3D LiDAR scanner was utilized to scan the blasted bottom surfaces, and rock surface roughness was quantitatively analyzed from the scanned profiles to apply to 3D FEM modelling. In addition, based on the 3D FEM model, a three-dimensional dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA-3D) technique was applied to study on the shear behavior of the interface between blasted rock and concrete through direct shear tests, which was analyzed under constant normal load (CNL). The effects of normal stress and the joint roughness on shear failure behavior are also analyzed.

Hull design data is currently prepared by a 2D CAD system and re-input to 3D CAD systems specialized for detail design or to a structural analysis system. In this paper, sharing design data among different CAD systems has been studied. Based on STEP methodology, a neutral model is generated from 2D AutoCAD drawings. To handle a geometric data of this model, the non-manifold model of ACIS is used because it can support various CAD data representation such as 2D graphic entities, 3D wireframe, 3D surface model, and solid B-Rep/CSG model. It is observed that a mon-manifold model can easily be transformed to a 3-D wireframe model for the hull detail design system AutoDef or a FE model for the structural analysis system Nastran.

Numerical simulation on rock cutting by a TBM disc cutter was carried out using SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) code. AUTODYN3D, a commercial software program based on finite element method, was used in this study. The three-dimensional geometry of a disc cutter and a rock specimen were modeled by Lagrange and SPH code respectively. The numerical simulation was carried out for Hwangdeung granite for 10 different cutting conditions. The results of the numerical simulation, i.e. the relation between cutter force and failure behavior, had a good agreement with those from LCM test. The cutter forces measured in the numerical simulation had 10% deviation from the LCM test results. Moreover, the optimum cutter spacing was almost identical with the experimental results. These results indicate that SPH code can be successfully used had applicability for simulation on rock cutting by a TBM disc cutter. However, further study on Lagrange-SPH coupled modelling would be necessary to reduce the computation time.
