This study developed two dimensional finite element program(FE-SCP) for the analysis of a composite ground reinforced by sand compaction piles with a low area replacement ratio based on the Mohr-Coulomb elastic perfectly plastic constitutive model. Program FE-SCP give some conveniences to users such as automatic mesh generation according to the replacement ratio and the effective sand pile diameter in the post processor. Also, it contains optimum processor in calculation of In-situ stress equilibrium considering different coefficient of earth pressure between sand pile and surrounding clay. Estimated stress-strain behavior using FE-SCP and the measured one from a centrifuge test showed good agreement comparing to the result from a general finite element program.

Unexpected postoperative changes, such as growth in rib hump and shoulder unbalance, have been occasionally reported after corrective surgery for scoliosis. However there has been neither experimental data fer explanation of these changes, nor the suggestion of optimal correction method. Therefore, the numerical study was designed to investigate the post-operative changes of vertebral rotation and rib cage deformation after the corrective surgery of scoliosis. A mathematical finite element model of normal spine including rib cage, sternum, both clavicles, and pelvis was developed with anatomical details. In this study, we also developed a special program which could convert a normal spine model to a desired scoliotic spine model automatically. A personalized skeletal deformity of scoliosis model was reconstructed with X-ray images of a scoliosis patient from the normal spine structures and rib cage model. The geometric mapping was performed by translating and rotating the spinal column with an amount analyzed from the digitized 12 built-in coordinate axes in each vertebral image. By utilizing this program, problems generated in mapping procedure such as facet joint overlapping, vertebral body deformity could be automatically resolved.

상용화된 FEM 코드와 3차원 솔리드 모델러를 통합하여 3차원 균열에 대한 자동 응력확대계수 해석 시스템을 개발하였다. 하나 또는 몇 개의 3차원 균열을 포함하는 기하학적 모델을 정의한다. 시스템에 저장된 몇 개의 절점패턴을 선택하면 자동적으로 퍼지지식 처리기법을 이용한 기하학적 모델 전 영역에 절점들이 중첩되어진다. 절점들은 생성되어지고 데로우니삼각화 법에 의한 사면체 솔리드요소가 생성되어진다. 최종적으로 완전한 유한요소 모델이 생성되어져 응력해석을 수행하게 된다. 본 논문은 몇몇 함수들을 실현시키기 위한 방법론에 대해 묘사하고 있으며 시스템의 타당성을 제시하였다.

In the case of gas carriers and oil tankers, pipes are installed on the upper deck as a moving passage to load LPG, LNG, crude oil, etc. Pipes used for loading or unloading liquid cargo in cargo holds are connected to the hull through support structures. However, many cases of hull damage have been reported where the various equipment and support structures are installed on the upper deck. It is assumed that not only the structural discontinuity where the hull and the pipe support structure meet, but also action due to the pipe loads and the hull girder bending moment are simultaneously affected. This paper deals with the design and strength evaluation of the support structure of pipes and cables installed on the upper deck of commercial ships and offshore structures. For these supporting structures, design conditions and working loads were defined. The design procedure was established through the structure analysis on the method of determining the member dimensions. A series of finite element analysis was performed on the factors to be considered in the design and the effects were discussed. The accuracy and design periods of the strength evaluation was improved and reduced by application of the automation program in the finite element analysis. It is also expected that the design reliability of the shipyard is improved.
