Hydrogen is a fuel having the highest energy compared with other common fuels. This means hydrogen is a clean energy source for the future. However, using hydrogen as a fuel has implication regarding carrier and storage issues, as hydrogen is highly inflammable and unstable gas susceptible to explosion. Explosions resulting from hydrogen-air mixtures have already been encountered and well documented in research experiments. However, there are still large gaps in this research field as the use of numerical tools and field experiments are required to fully understand the safety measures necessary to prevent hydrogen explosions. The purpose of this present study is to develop and simulate 3D numerical modelling of an existing hydrogen gas station in Jeonju by using handheld LiDAR and Ansys AUTODYN, as well as the processing of point cloud scans and use of cloud dataset to develop FEM 3D meshed model for the numerical simulation to predict peak-over pressures. The results show that the Lidar scanning technique combined with the ANSYS AUTODYN can help to determine the safety distance and as well as construct, simulate and predict the peak over-pressures for hydrogen refueling station explosions.

To assess the safety of nonlinear steel frame structures subjected to short duration dynamic loadings, especially seismic loading, a nonlinear time domain reliability analysis procedure is proposed in the context of the stochastic finite element concept. In the proposed algorithm, the finite element formulation is combined with concepts of the response surface method, the first order reliability method, and the iterative linear interpolation scheme. This leads to the stochastic finite element concept. Actual earthquake loading time-histories are used to excite structures, enabling a realistic representation of the loading conditions. The assumed stress-based finite element formulation is used to increase its efficiency. The algorithm also has the potential to evaluate the risk associated with any linear or nonlinear structure that can be represented by a finite element algorithm subjected to seismic loading or any short duration dynamic loading. The algorithm is explained with help of an example and verified using the Monte Carlo simulation technique.

가축의 영양소 요구량 유지, 비육, 증체, 생산, 번식, 계절환경에 따라 달라지는 변동요인을 감안하여 하루 동안에 필요로 하는 영양소 요구량을 충족하도록 여러 종류의 사료를 혼합한 TMR(Total Mixed Ration)사료의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 가축의 생산성 향상(등급 향상)과 축산농가의 영농비용 절감, 생력화를 위해 범용적으로 사용가능한 TMR플랜트의 개발이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 사료비절감을 위한 식품부산물 발효탱크의 개발을 통해 발효탱크 밑 부분을 구성하고 있는 스위프오거와 이를 고정하면서 Z축으로 회전하는 고정부를 대상으로 하여 시각화 할 수 있는 FEM 시뮬레이션 기법을 이용하여 작업 중 적용되는 하중에 대해 충분한 구조 안전성을 가지고 있는지 해석하였다. 스위프오거의 재질은 SM45C, 작용하는 하중은 감속기의 출력량, RPM을 이용하여 토크 값을 구하고 조사료와 부산물사료가 포함된 TMR사료의 무게와 스위프오거의 단면적을 이용하여 압력 값을 도출하였다. 하지만 부산물사료가 발효되면서 저장탱크를 통해 배출되기 때문에 전체 사료 무게가 줄어 스위프오거에 작용하는 압력 또한 작아지는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저장탱크에서 TMR사료가 배출되기 직전의 가장 높은 압력 상태를 가정하였다. 이 가정을 통해 토크 값은 $1.4N{\cdot}m$, 압력 값은 43 Mpa으로 나타났고 이를 바탕으로 구조해석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 스위프오거는 고정단 부근에서 최대 폰 미세스 응력 310 Mpa이 발생하여 구조적으로 가장 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 이는 SM45C의 항복강도인 343 Mpa 보다 낮아 안전한 것으로 분석된다. 또한 사료가 배출되면서 스위프오거에 작용하는 압력이 작아져 폰 미세스 응력도 작아지는 것으로 나타났다.

기후변화 따른 스마트팜 돈사 외부 환경의 변화에 대응하고, 사육 환경을 능동적으로 개선하기 위한 연구가 수행 중이다. 돈사 내 열전달 요소 간 상호 역학성 분석을 위해서 고려해야할 사항은 입기구, 보온 등, 열풍기, 단열제, 위치, 방향, 돈사의 연평균 온도, 습도, 연중 일사량, 가축의 열복사 등 상호 복잡하게 연관되어 있는 물리량이다. 돈사 전체 열손실, 자연발생 에너지량, 강제발생 에너지량, 난방용량 등을 고려한 순간 열부하 산정을 위한 여러 방법 중 우선적으로 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)를 이용하였다. 순간 열부하 산정을 위한 해석 도구 선정에 있어서 다양한 유체 및 기체 전산 유체역학 Solver(Fluent, Open-FOAM, Blender)를 고려하였다. 공간 Mech를 수행하기 위한 도구로는 공개 소프트웨어 인 FreeFem++ 3.51-4 (http://www.freefem.org)를 이용하였다. 이 과정에서 일부 기체 (암모니아)의 농도를 난수로 변화시키는 기법을 적용하여 가상적으로 돈사의 환경을 Pseudo 시뮬레이션 하였다. 결과적으로 Fluent에 비하여 OpenFOAM을 이용하여 얻은 열유동의 방향(속도)과 크기 백터가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. Fluent가 시계열 상에서 혼합 기체 물리량 변화를 무시할 수 있는 안정되고 균일한 환경에 적합하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. Blender의 경우 Lattice Boltzmann methods 과 Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics 방법을 이용한 유체/입자 동력학 모델링을 제공함에 있어 시각적 효과를 강조하는 기능에 중점을 두었다. Fluent와 Blender에서 제공하는 해석 연산 모듈의 정확성 검증을 위해선 공간 분해능을 높인 정밀 계측 시스템을 이용하여 검증할 필요가 있다. Open-FOAM를 이용한 열부하 분석 수행이 상대적으로 높은 절대값을 보이는 특성은 열부하 제어 시스템의 Overshoot를 유발할 가능성이 있으므로 이에 대한 해석 모델의 보정이 추가적으로 필요할 것이다. CFD의 한계인 시간 복잡도를 낮추고 상대적으로 높은 시계열 분해능을 확보할 경우 돈사 내 환기시스템에 맞는 소요 환기량 실시간 산정이 가능해지고 외부기상 및 돈사내부 복사열을 활용함과 동시에 돈군 순환에 상응하는 실시간 열부하 관리 시스템 도출이 가능할 것이다.

Heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity in a flow domain is generated under the assumption that it is a random variable with a lognormal, spatially-correlated distribution. The hydraulic head and the conductivity in a groundwater flow system are represented as a stochastic process. The method of Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and the finite element method (FEM) are used to determine the statistics of the head and the logconductivity. The second moments of the head and the logconductivity indicate that the cross-covariance of the logconductivity with the head has characteristic distribution patterns depending on the properties of sources, boundary conditions, head gradients, and correlation scales. The negative cross-correlation outlines a weak-response zone where the flow system is weakly responding to a stress change in the flow domain. The stochastic approach has a potential to quantitatively delineate the zone of influence through computations of the cross-covariance distribution.

This paper describes distribution characteristics of switching surge voltage in stator windings of induction motor driven by IGBT PWM inverter. To analyze the voltage distribution between the turns and coils of stator winding, equivalent circuit model of induction motor including cable was proposed and high frequency parameter is computed by using finite-element method (FEM). From the electro-magnetic transient program (EMTP) simulation of the whole system for induction motor, feeder cable, and PWM inverter, the variable effect on rising time of the inverter, cable length, and switching frequency on the voltage distribution is also presented. In order to experiment, an induction motor, 380[V], 50[HP], with taps from one phase are built to consider the voltage distribution so that these results can be helpful when filter was designed to remove high dv/dt.

This paper studied on stability of the U-channel segmental concrete bridge under vehicle-impact loads. The U-channel bridge has advantages in that it reduces an additional dead load and the edge beams role as a barrier. But it has a dangerous factor which collapses the bridge structure when the edge beams are ruptured. Therefore, it is necessary to verify behaviors of the bridge system under vehicle-impact loads. Static and dynamic vehicle impact simulations were carried out on the basis of AASHTO LRFD design specifications. In case of the static analysis, equivalent static loads specified in the AASHTO codes are loaded on the edge beams and in case of the dynamic analysis, FEM vehicle models are modeled by applying the dynamic test specifications of AASHTO codes. As a result, it is shown that U-channel bridge system has sufficient safety against static and dynamic impact loads specified in the AASHTO LRFD design specifications.

Flange bolt has a circular flange under the head that acts like a washer to distribute the clamping load over a large area. Flange bolt has usually been manufactured by cold forging. Flower shape defect occurs in the flange forging stage. This defect causes lack of dimensional accuracy and low quality. So it is needed to improve these forging defects. In this study, die design method for flower shape defect of flange bolt was suggested. In order to improve flower shape defect, inner diameter of the addition die in conventional forging process was modified. The forging process with applied modified die was simulated by commercial FEM code DEFORM-3D. The simulated results for modified die were confirmed by experimental trials with the same condition.
