Anchor channels are commonly used for façade, tunnel, and structural connections. These connections encounter various types of loadings during their service life, including high rate or impact loading. For anchor channels that are placed close and parallel to an edge and loaded in shear perpendicular to and towards the edge, the failure is often governed by concrete edge breakout. This study investigates the transverse shear behavior of the anchor channels under quasi-static and high rate loadings using a numerical approach (3D finite element analysis) utilizing a rate-sensitive microplane model for concrete as constitutive law. Following the validation of the numerical model against a test performed under quasi-static loading, the rate-sensitive static, and rate-sensitive dynamic analyses are performed for various displacement loading rates varying from moderately high to impact. The increment in resistance due to the high loading rate is evaluated using the dynamic increase factor (DIF). Furthermore, it is shown that the failure mode of the anchor channel changes from global concrete edge failure to local concrete crushing due to the activation of structural inertia at high displacement loading rates. The research outcomes could be valuable for application in various types of connection systems where a high rate of loading is expected.

We investigated the protection capability of a plate against high speed projectiles demonstrating collision and penetration behaviors by finite element analysis. The element erosion method was used for penetration analysis, which showed that the speed of the projectile was slightly reduced by the collision with the protection plate. Protection capability was measured by the projectile's attitude angle change because the damage of our tanks by projectiles was also dependent on the projectile-tank collision angle. When the length of the protection plate was sufficiently long, the projectile was severely deformed and incapacitated. In the case of a small plate, the projectile was deformed only in the collision region. Thus, projection capability was investigated by the change of attitude angle. The effect of collision angle, velocity, and length of the plate on the rotational and vertical velocities of the projectile was investigated.

This work presents an assessment of the computational performance of a vector-parallel implementation of probabilistic model for concrete cracking in 3D. This paper shows the continuing efforts towards code optimization as reported in earlier works Paz, et al. (2002a,b and 2003). The probabilistic crack approach is based on the direct Monte Carlo method. Cracking is accounted by means of 3D interface elements. This approach considers that all nonlinearities are restricted to interface elements modeling cracks. The heterogeneity governs the overall cracking behavior and related size effects on concrete fracture. Computational kernels in the implementation are the inexact Newton iterative driver to solve the non-linear problem and a preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) driver to solve linearized equations, using an element by element (EBE) strategy to compute matrix-vector products. In particular the paper analyzes code behavior using OpenMP directives in parallel vector processors (PVP), such as the CRAY SV1 and CRAY T94. The impact of the memory architecture on code performance, and also some strategies devised to circumvent this issue are addressed by numerical experiment.

The latest earthquake's costly repairs and economic disruption were brought on by excessive residual drift. Self-centering systems are one of the most efficient ways in the current generation of seismic resistance system to get rid of and reduce residual drift. The mechanics and behavior of the self-centering system in response to seismic forces were impacted by a number of important factors. The amount of post-tensioning (PT) force, which is often employed for the standing posture after an earthquake, is the first important component. The energy dissipater element is another one that has a significant impact on how the self-centering system behaves. Using the damper as a replaceable and affordable tool and fuse in self-centering frames has been recommended to boost energy absorption and dampening of structural systems during earthquakes. In this research, the self-centering steel moment frame connections are equipped with cushion flexural dampers (CFDs) as an energy dissipator system to increase energy absorption, post-yielding stiffness, and ease replacement after an earthquake. Also, it has been carefully considered how to reduce permanent deformations in the self-centering steel moment frames exposed to seismic loads while maintaining adequate stiffness, strength, and ductility. After confirming the FE model's findings with an earlier experimental PT connection, the behavior of the self-centering connection using CFD has been surveyed in this study. The FE modeling takes into account strands preloading as well as geometric and material nonlinearities. In addition to contact and sliding phenomena, gap opening and closing actions are included in the models. According to the findings, self-centering moment-resisting frames (SF-MRF) combined with CFD enhance post-yielding stiffness and energy absorption with the least amount of permeant deformation in a certain CFD thickness. The obtained findings demonstrate that the effective energy dissipation ratio (β), is increased to 0.25% while also lowering the residual drift to less than 0.5%. Also, this enhancement in the self-centering connection with CFD's seismic performance was attained with a respectable moment capacity to beam plastic moment capacity ratio.

유한한 곡률을 가진 적층복합재 구조의 저속충격손상을 평가하기 위하여 곡률반경이 각각 50, 150, 300, 500 mm인 쉘 형태의 시편을 CFRP로 제작하여 충격실험을 행하고, 충격거동과 충격손상을 평판의 경우와 비교하여 고찰하였다. 실험결과는 비선형 유한요소해석의 결과와 비교하였다. 충격손상의 평가를 위해 충격거동을 측정한 결과 강성과 곡률반경이 쉘의 동적 충격거동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였으며, 충격거동과 충격손상은 밀접한 상호관계가 있으므로 구조의 곡률반경을 독립변수로 선정하여 충격손상을 평가하였다. 곡률반경이 감소하면서 복합재 쉘에는 동일한 충격조건에서 더 큰 최대 접촉력이 발생하였고, 가장 곡률이 심한 곡률반경 50 mm의 쉘에서는 평판의 약 1.5배에 이르는 최대 접촉력을 나타내었다. 따라서 동일한 충격조건 하에서 곡률반경 50 mm의 쉘에서는 평판의 경우보다 약 2.7때정도 더 큰 층간분리가 내부에 발생하였으며, 층간분리의 분포 또한 평판의 경우와는 달리 충격면에 가까운 계면에도 광범위하게 발생하는 경향이 곡륜반경이 감소할수록 더욱 현저하였다. 이는 곡률을 가진 구조가 평판 구조보다 손상저항성이 더 작은 것을 의미하므로 복합재료 설계 시 구조의 기하학적 형상을 반드시 고려하여야 한다.

일반적으로 조류충돌 안전성 입증에 대한 규정은 고정익 항공기 중 FAR Part 23급 커뮤터 및 FAR Part 25급 민간항공기 부류의 항공기에 국한되어 적용되고 있다. 이는 상대적으로 낮은 비행속력과 주로 개인용 항공기로의 활용 등의 이유로 조류 충돌에 대한 위험성이 낮게 평가되었기 때문이다. 하지만 최근의 지점 간 운송을 목적으로 하는 Air-Taxi 등의 수요 증가로 인한 소형항공기 운항시간 증가 예측과 급격한 수요의 VLJ(Very Light Jet)등은 FAR Part 23급 Normal, Utility급 항공기의 조류 충돌 안전성에 대한 규정 적용 및 안전성 향상에 대한 필요성을 증가시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 외연적 유한요소 해석을 이용한 소형항공기 주익에 대한 조류 충돌 안전성 평가와 Crushable Foam을 적용한 안전성 향상방안을 제시하고 있다.

Considerable controversy surrounds the choice of the best abutment type for implant prosthetics. The two most common structures are hex and non-hex abutments. The non-hex abutment typically furnishes a larger contact area between itself and the implant than that provided by a hex structure. However, when a hex abutment is loaded, the position of its contact area may be deeper than that of a non-hex abutment. Hence, the purpose of this study is to determine the different biomechanical behaviors of an internal bone-level implant based on the abutment type-hex or non-hex-and clinical crown length under static and cyclic loadings using finite element analysis (FEA). The hex structure was found to increase the implant and abutment stability more than the nonhex structure among several criteria. The use of the hex structure resulted in a smaller volume of bone tissues being at risk of hypertrophy and fatigue failure. It also reduced micromovement (separation) between the implant components, which is significantly related to the pumping effect and possible inflammation. Both static and fatigue analyses, used to examine short- and long-term stability, demonstrated the advantages of the hex abutment over the non-hex type for the stability of the implant components. Moreover, although its impact was not as significant as that of the abutment type, a large crown-implant ratio (CIR) increased bone strain and stress in the implant components, particularly under oblique loading.

본 논문에서는 FEM(유한요소) 기법을 사용하여 칩이 실장되는 않은 substrate와 칩이 실장된 substrate의 warpage를 해석하여 칩의 실장이 warpage에 미치는 영향을 비교·분석하였다. 또한, warpage를 감소시키기 위한 substrate의 층별 두께의 영향도 분석과 층별 두께 조건을 다구찌법에 의한 신호 대 잡음 비로 분석하였다. 해석 결과에 의하면 칩이 실장되면 substrate의 warpage는 패턴의 방향이 변할 수 있고, 칩이 실장되면서 패키지의 강성도(stiffness)가 증가하고, 패키지 상·하의 열팽창계수의 차이가 작아지면서 warpage는 감소하였다. 또한, 칩이 실장되지 않은 substrate를 대상으로 설계 파라메타의 영향도 분석 결과에 의하면 warpage를 감소시키기 위해서는 회로층 중에서 내층인 Cu1과 Cu4를 중점 관리하고, 다음으로 바닥면의 solder resist 층의 두께와 Cu1과 Cu2 사이의 프리프레그 층의 두께를 관리해야 한다.

UV laser micromachining of metallic materials has been used in microelectronic and other industries. This paper shows on experimental investigation of micromachining of copper using a 355nm UV laser with 50ns pulse duration. A finite element model with high strain rate effect is especially suggested to investigate the phenomena which are only dominated by mechanically pressure impact in disregard of thermally heat transfer. In order to consider the strain rate effect, Cowper-Symonds model was used. To analyze the dynamic deformation during a very short processing time, which is nearly about several tens nanoseconds, a commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) code, LS-DYNA 3D, was employed for the computational simulation of the UV laser micro machining behavior for thin copper material. From these computational results, depth of the dent (from one to six pulsed) were observed and compared with previous experimental results. This will help us to understand interaction between UV laser beam and material.
