In high-speed PM machines, rotor losses form a larger proportion of the total losses than usual in conventional low speed machines. In order to maintain the mechanical integrity of a high-speed PM rotor intended for high-speed operation, the rotor assembly is often retained within a sleeve or can. The sleeve is exposed to field produced by the stator from either the slotting or the mmf harmonics that are not synchronous with the rotor. These non-synchronous fields cause the significant rotor losses. An optimum design of high-speed PM machines requires the accurate prediction for these rotor losses. On the basis of analytical field analysis and 2D finite element analysis (FEA), this paper deals with the rotor losses.

A hat section was designed and developed for maximum impact energy absorption and/or transmission under low velocity impact. Towards this, different hat sections, having material properties of thermoplastic, were modeled and investigated numerically using finite element analysis (FEA) in the range of 20-50 J impact energy. In the study it was experienced that the design configuration of hat section with curvilinear profile (HSCP) was excellent in energy attenuation capacity and for even distribution of maximum impact force around and along the hat section under low velocity impact loading. To validate the numerical findings, polypropylene copolymer (Co-PP) HSCP and low density polyethylene (LDPE) HSCP were developed and evaluated experimentally in the said impact energy range. A correlation was established between FEA and experimental test results, thereby, validating a numerical model to predict results for other thermoplastic materials under given range of impact energy. The LDPE HSCP exhibited better performance as compared to Co-PP HSCP in the said range of impact energy. The findings of this study will enable the engineers and technologists to design and develop low velocity impact resistance devices for various applications including devices to protect bone joints.

Deck plates of ships or offshore structures would make out-of-plane distortion for their thin thickness. These distortions are usually straightened by thermal straightening such as flame heating method. After thermal straightening, the blocks are lifted and moved by cranes to assemble it at dry-dock stage. After this lifting process, out-of-plane deformation again happens frequently. And then, they continuously cause quality and accuracy problems in the final dry-dock process. So, it takes more time for repair and correction working. According to preceding research, the lifting process by cranes would offset the effect on thermal straightening. The target of this study is to develop a methodology analyzing the remaining efficiency of thermal straightening after block lifting. The development was based on the assumption of yield state at straightening region. Therefore the remaining efficiency was obtained by different stiffness slope while lifting & relieving. The efficiency formula was designed using inherent strain, and we made a table of zero-efficiency by cooling speed and class rule's steels. As a result, if the stress orthogonal to straightened line is calculated during lifting analysis by FEA, the efficiency can be obtained linearly to the values in the table. Finally, even optimized carling position can be designed by considering the regional data from series project and welding region on deck.

In the present study, the fiber and matrix failure of composite laminates under arbitrary biaxial stresses were evaluated based on separate mode criteria such as Hasnin and Puck theories. There is a limitation to predict the fiber-dominant and/or matrix-dominant failures under arbitrary stress states using limit criteria (maximum stress and maximum strain theories) and interactive criteria (Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu theories). There is little literature for failure analysis of ships and offshore composite structures considering advanced failure theories such as Hashin and Puck theories. Furthermore, there is not enough practical commercial finite element analysis (FEA) code which is basically adopted the separate mode criteria. Hence, in the present study, the user-defined subroutine of commercial FEA code ABAQUS for evaluation of fiber and matrix failures of composite structures was developed based on Hashin and Puck failure criteria. And then, the proposed subroutine was validated by comparing with a series of experimental results of carbon- and glass-implemented composite laminates to guarantee the reliability and usefulness of the developed method.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of train-induced end rotation of simple supported track girder on the performance of a direct fixation track system (DFTS) in Yeongjong grand bridge. In this study, the influences of deflection of a DFTS and track girder on dynamic rail-track girder interaction forces for the track girder ends currently employed in airport express lines were assessed by performing field tests using actual vehicles running along the service lines. Therefore, the dynamic displacement of rail and track girder and the fastener stress on the center and ends sections of DFTS were measured for two different trains (AREX and KTX) running in Yeongjong grand bridge. A three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) model using the time-history function based on the design wheel load was used to predict the train-induced track and track girder displacement, and the FEA and field test results were compared. The analytical results reproduced the experimental results well within about 3-7% difference in the values. Therefore, the FEA model of DFTS on track girder is considered to provide sufficiently reliable FEA results in the investigation of the behavior of DFTS. Using the analytical and experimental results, the influence of train-induced end rotation of simple supported track girder on the interaction behavior of rail and track girder installed on a simple supported track girder ends, i.e., upward displacement of rail-track girder and the fastener stress, was investigated. It was found that the train-induced end rotation effect of track girder was not significantly affected by the upward displacement of rails and the fastener stresses of track girder ends. Further, the interaction behavior of rail and track girder were similar to or less than that of the general railway bridge deck ends, nevertheless the vertical displacement of track was higher than that of conventional DFTS on the general railway bridge. From the results, the dynamic responses of the DFTS on track girder ends were not significantly affected by the safety and stability of DFTS ends.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of patterning on the stress distribution in the bone tissue using the finite element analysis (FEA) model. Materials and Methods: For optimal comparison, it was assumed that the implant was axisymmetric and infinitely long. The implant was assumed to be completely embedded in the infinitely long cortical bone and to have 100% bone apposition. The implant-bone interface had completely fixed boundary conditions and received an infinitely big axial load. von Mises stress and maximal principal stress were analyzed. Conventional thread and 2 or 3 patterns on the upper and lower flank of the thread were compared. Result: The surface areas of patterned implants were increased up to 106~115%. The thread with patterns distributed stress better than conventional thread. Patterning in threads may produce more stress in the implant itself, but reduce stress in the surrounding bone. Stress patterns of von Mises stress were favorable with patterns, while the maximal principal stress was increased with patterns. Patterns in the lower flank showed favorable stress distribution. Conclusion: The patterns in implant thread reduce the stress generated in surrounding bone, but the number and position of patterns were crucial factors in stress distribution.

Vibration characteristics of an duel-cooling cylindrical fuel rod, which was proposed as a candidate design of fuel's cross section for the ultra-high burnup nuclear fuel, according to the cross-sectional dimensions and the number of supports or the span length were analytically studied. Finite element(FE) modeling for the annular cross sectional fuel was based on the methodology, that have been proven by the test verification, for the conventional PWR nuclear fuel rod. A commercial FEA code, ABAQUS, was used for the FE modeling and analysis. A planar beam element (B21) that uses a linear interpolation was used for the fuel rod and a linear spring element for the spring and dimple of the SG. Natural frequencies and mode shape were calculated according to the preliminary design candidates for the fuel's cross sectional dimension and the number of span. From the analysis results, the design scheme of the annular fuel compatible to the present PWR nuclear reactor core was discussed in terms of the number of supports and fuel's cross section.

In this paper, finite element (FE) model updating based on multi-objective optimization with the surrogate model for a steel plate girder bridge is investigated. Conventionally, FE model updating for bridge structures uses single-objective optimization with finite element analysis (FEA). In the case of the conventional method, computational burden occurs considerably because a lot of iteration are performed during the updating process. This issue can be addressed by replacing FEA with the surrogate model. The other problem is that the updating result from single-objective optimization depends on the condition of the weighting factors. Previous studies have used the trial-and-error strategy, genetic algorithm, or user's preference to obtain the most preferred model; but it needs considerable computation cost. In this study, the FE model updating method consisting of the surrogate model and multi-objective optimization, which can construct the Pareto-optimal front through a single run without considering the weighting factors, is proposed to overcome the limitations of the single-objective optimization. To verify the proposed method, the results of the proposed method are compared with those of the single-objective optimization. The comparison shows that the updated model from the multi-objective optimization is superior to the result of single-objective optimization in calculation time as well as the relative errors between the updated model and measurement.

복소퍼텐셜을 이용하여 타원공 또는 균열을 내재한 복합재 적층판구조 해석법을 고찰하였다. 복합재 적층판은 충격에 취약하며 이러한 충격손상은 타원공이나 균열형태의 노치로 모델화된 바 있다. 이와 같이 컷아웃부를 내재한 복잡한 형태의 복합재 적층판 해석에 유한요소해석법이 널리 사용되고 있으나 피로하중 하에서의 손상허용성 평가와 같이 손상진전에 따라 반복적으로 유한요소모델링을 수정하여 해석을 수행하여야 하는 경우 매우 번거로운 작업이 요구된다. 이러한 관점에서 복소퍼텐셜을 이용한 해석적 기법은 매우 간편하고 사용하기 손쉬운 기법이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 해석법에 의한 계산결과를 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 분석함으로써 계산과정의 유효성과 용이성을 검증하였다.
