According to the requirements of ANSI B3l.8, the pipe thickness is determined with hoop stress resulted from internal pressure. And the other loads induced by soil, vehicle, thermal expansion, ground subsidence, etc shall be evaluated rationally. There are two ways of calculating stress of buried gas pipeline. The first is FEM. FEM can calculate the stress regardless of the complexity of pipeline shape and boundary conditions. But it needs high cost and long time. The second is the way to use equation. The reliable equations to calculate the stress of buried gas pipeline was developed and have been used in designing pipeline and evaluating pipeline safety, But these equation are very difficult to understand and use for non-specialist. For easy calculation of non-specialist, the new computer program to calculate stress of buried natural gas pipeline have been developed. The stress is calculated by the equations and extrapolation of the graph resulted from FEM. The full paper is consist of series I and II. In this paper, series I, the calculating equation of the program is explained in detail.

본 논문은 수두증 환자의 체내에 삽입하는 파릴린 막체크 밸브의 제작과 시험에 관한 것이다. 파릴린 막 체크밸브는 세 가지 특징을 가지고 있다. 박막의 초기 인장응력에 따라 특정한 압력 이상에서 밸브가 열리고, 막과 밸브 입구의 크기에 따라 순방향과 역방향 특성을 서로 다르게 하며, 앤티사이폰 역할을 한다. 파릴린 체크 밸브는 상부 기판과 하부 기판으로 구성되어 있다. 하부 기판은 입구, 출구, 유로, 두 개의 완충챔버로 이루어져 있고, 상부 기판은 입구 박막과 두 개의 완충 챔버 박막으로 이루어져 있다. 하부 기판에는 밸브 구멍 주위에 밸브 시트를 두어 두 기판을 조립할 때 밸브 시트가 막을 변형시키면서 박막에 초기 인장 응력을 주도록 되어 있다. 또, 하부 기판에 특정한 각을 가진 유로 및 완충 챔버를 형성하여 역류 발생시 유체를 완충 챔버 쪽으로 흐르게 한다. 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 박막과 밸브 입구의 크기, 박막의 두께 등을 변화시켜가며 박막의 응력과 변형을 해석하였고 해석 결과로부터 밸브 시트의 높이를 결정하였다. 마이크로머시닝으로 두 기판을 제작하고 조립한 후, 순방향과 역방향의 압력에 대한 유량을 측정하여 파릴린 체크 밸브의 특성을 시험하였다.

The SGBEM-FEM alternating method has been known to be a very effective method for analyzing threedimensional cracks in a finite body. The accurate values of the stress intensity factor can be obtained for a general planar or nonplanar three-dimensional crack. In the existing method, eight-noded quadrilateral boundary elements are used to model a crack. In some cases, three-node triangle boundary elements are more convenient for the modeling of a crack with a general shape. In this study, a crack is modeled with three-noded triangular and seven-noded quadrilateral elements by using the advancing-front mesh generation method. The stress intensity factors are obtained for cracks with several shapes and the accuracy of results is examined.

The fatigue characteristics of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites were studied under repeated loads using the finite element method (FEM). To realize the material characteristics of GFRP composites, Digimat, a mean-field homogenization tool, was employed. Additionally, the micro-structures and material models of GFRP composites were defined with it to predict the fatigue behavior of composites more realistically. Specifically, the fatigue characteristics of polybutylene terephthalate with short fiber fractions of 30wt% were investigated with respect to fiber orientation, stress ratio, and thickness. The injection analysis was conducted using Moldflow software to obtain the information on fiber orientations. It was mapped over FEM concerned with fatigue specimens. LS-DYNA, a typical finite element commercial software, was used in the coupled analysis of Digimat to calculate the stress amplitude of composites. FEMFAT software consisting of various numerical material models was used to predict the fatigue life. The results of coupled analysis of linear and nonlinear material models of Digimat were analyzed to identify the fatigue characteristics of GFRP composites using FEMFAT. Neuber's rule was applied to the linear material model to analyze the fatigue behavior in LCF regimen. Additionally, to evaluate the morphological and mechanical structure of GFRP composites, the coupled and fatigue analysis were conducted in terms of thickness.

This study contains to theory and analysis research for the stress and the translation of an expand disk that fix a ring gear for tooth profile machining. The stress of the expand disk is analysed by the finite element method(FEM) to calculate design parameters. From the analysis results, the stress of the expand shows a linear tendency under various fixing force. This results show that the expand disk have a elastic characteristics as a disk spring. The maximum stress was observed on under side in split section of the expand disk. It is verified that the analysis results are useful to calculate design parameters of the expand disk.

The stress distributions of hydranlic actuator cylinder tube acting in uniform inner pressure were analysed by the boundary element method(BEM). STKM13C tube was utilized for machine structural purposes model, its inner radius was 100 mm and outer radius was 140 mm. Axial length was semi-infinite and the isoparametric element of BEM was used. Radial and tangential stresses are maximum(-20.3 MPa and 52 MPa) at the inner radius and the minimum at the outer radius of the hydraulic actuator cylinders for an industrial systems. Stress diminution ratio was about 0.6 MPa/mm. And then coincidence between the simulation techniques as exact results(Lame' equation) and finite element method(FEM) is found to be fairly good, showing that the proposed analysis by BEM is reliable.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze affecting ratios of strength safety in carbon fiber layer thickness of a composite fuel tank for FEV vehicles. To investigate affecting ratios by FEM modeling, the equivalent von Mises stress has been computed on the aluminum liner and carbon fiber layers of composite fuel tanks in hoop and helical directions respectively. According to the FEM results, the affecting ratios of an aluminum liner on the equivalent stress are 77.5% in hoop direction, 18.11% in $70^{\circ}C$ winded helical direction and 4.39% in $12^{\circ}C$ winded helical direction. These trends on the strength safety of carbon fiber layers have been shown as those of an aluminum liner even though the layer thickness ratio of $12^{\circ}C$ inclined carbon fiber is very high of 42% compared with that of hoop layer thickness. Thus, the computed results show that the strength safety of a carbon fiber fuel tank is more influenced by the winding angle rather than the fiber thickness of carbon fiber layers.

A nonlinear FEM analysis of steel members under very-low-cycle loading has been performed in conjunction with experimental works. This analysis is an FEM tracing toward cracking of steel members under cyclic loads such as a strong earthquake. After verifying the procedure by comparing global hysteretic behaviors from the analytical and experimental results, the local stress-strain hysteresis at critical sections for large cyclic deformations was traced by the numerical analysis. Local strain history was discussed in relation to cracking. Based on the experimental and analytical results, a new approach to seismic safety assessment for steel members was proposed in this paper.

This paper presents a stress safety of a composite pressure cylinder in which is composed of an aluminum liner and composite layers with carbon fiber/epoxy and glass fiber/epoxy resigns. The composite pressure cylinder for a hydrogen gas vehicle contains 9.2 liter hydrogen gas, and hydrogen gases are compressed by a filling pressure of 35MPa. The FEM computed results are analyzed based on the US DOT-CFFC basic requirement for a hydrogen gas cylinder and KS B ISO specification. The FEM results indicate that the stress, 247MPa of an aluminum liner is sufficiently low compared with that of 272MPa, which is 95% level of a yield stress for aluminum. And, the carbon fiber composite layers in which are wound on the surface of an aluminum cylinder are safe because the maximum carbon fiber stresses from 29.43% to 28.87% in hoop and helical directions are below 30% for a given minimum required burst pressure level, respectively. The carbon fiber composite layers are also safe because the stress ratios from 3.40 to 3.46 in hoop and helical directions are above 2.4 for a minimum safety level, respectively.
