During the land operations, the enemy's gunnery is the primary threat. For the military vehicle, the bulletproof effect is the one of the important issues regarding the safety of soldiers on duty. Recently, the advanced military vehicles have planned to install armor plates. However, due to the budget problem, it is difficult to equip the protection systems. Hence, the optimum approach to increase bulletproof capability is essential. In this paper, the optimum thickness and component of the armor of military vehicles were evaluated by using finite element analysis for bullet impact effects. To achieve this aim, 7.62mm NATO bullet, 1.6mm steel and Kevlar-29 composite have been modeled and the simulations were conducted with various thickness cases by using MSC Nastran sol 700. Consequently, it was revealed that Kevlar-29 45 Layer is appropriate thickness for 7.62 bulletproof. Furthermore, Kevlar-29 in front of steel was effective by comparison with the back of steel for bulletproof.

The results of research focusing on the experimental and numerical performance of ferrocement RC beams with openings reinforced with welded steel mesh, expanded steel mesh, fiber glass mesh, and polyethylene mesh independently are presented in this article. Casting and testing of fourteen reinforced concrete beams with dimensions of 200×100×2000 mm under concentric compression loadings were part of the research program. The type of reinforcing materials, the volume fraction of reinforcement, the number of mesh layers, and the number of stirrups are the major parameters that change. The main goal is to understand the impact of using new appealing materials in reinforcing RC beams with openings. Using ANSYS-16.0 Software, nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) was used to demonstrate the behavior of composite RC beams with openings. A parametric study is also conducted to discuss the variables that can have the greatest impact on the mechanical behavior of the proposed model, such as the number of openings. The obtained experimental and numerical results demonstrated the FE simulations' acceptable accuracy in estimating experimental values. Furthermore, demonstrating that the strength gained of specimens reinforced with fiber glass meshes was reduced by approximately 38% when compared to specimens reinforced with expanded or welded steel meshes is significant. In addition, when compared to welded steel meshes, using expanded steel meshes in reinforcing RC beams with openings results in a 16 percent increase in strength. In general, when ferrocement beams with openings are tested under concentric loadings, they show higher-level ultimate loads and energy-absorbing capacity than traditional RC beams.

The current study looks at the experimental and numerical performance of ferrocement RC channel slabs reinforced with welded steel mesh, expanded steel mesh, and fiber glass mesh individually. Ten RC channel slabs with dimensions of 500 mm×40 mm×2500 mm were subjected to flexural loadings as part of the testing program. The type of reinforcing materials, the number of mesh layers, and the reinforcement volume fraction are the key parameters that can be changed. The main goal is to determine the impact of using new inventive materials to reinforce composite RC channel slabs. Using ANSYS -16.0 Software, nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) was used to simulate the behavior of composite channel slabs. Parametric study is also demonstrated to identify variables that can have a significant impact on the model's mechanical behavior, such as changes in slab dimensions. The obtained experimental and numerical results indicated that FE simulations had acceptable accuracy in estimating experimental values. Also, it's significant to demonstrate that specimens reinforced with fiber glass meshes gained approximately 12% less strength than specimens reinforced with expanded or welded steel meshes. In addition, Welded steel meshes provide 24% increase in strength over expanded steel meshes when reinforcing RC channel slabs. In general, ferrocement specimens tested under flexural loadings outperform conventional reinforced concrete specimens in terms of ultimate loads and energy absorbing capacity.

골밀도가 높고 두꺼운 피질골에 마이크로임플란트를 self-drilling 방식으로 식립하는 경우 과도한 수준의 골부하 (bone loading)가 발생할 위험이 있으며 이는 인접골의 정상적인 골개형(bone remodeling)에 장애를 초래할 수 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석으로 두께 1.0 mm의 피질골에 Absoanchor SH1312-7 마이크로임플란트((주)덴토스, 대구, 대한민국)가 self-drilling 방식으로 식립되는 과정(10회전, 식립깊이 5 mm)을 모사(simulation)하였으며 식립 단계별로 피질골에 발생되는 스트레인을 조사하였다. 식립중 마이크로임플란트 첨부의 절삭연(cutting flute)에 의한 골삭제로 생기는 나사길(threaded groove)의 치수를 얻기 위하여 가토 경골에 마이크로임플란트를 식립/제거한 후 Micro CT (Explore Locus RS, GE Healthcare, Ontario, Canada)를 이용하여 기하형상을 측정하였으며 이를 치밀골의 유한요소모델에 반영하였다. 해석결과, 치밀골에 발생되는 스트레인은 임플란트 식립깊이에 따라 증가하였고, 초기단계에서 나사산에 인접한 골에 국한되던 과부하 부위(스트레인이 4,000${\mu}$-strain을 상회하는 영역)가 식립깊이 증가에 따라 인접골 전체, 즉 나사산 인접부는 물론 골(valley) 부위에 접하는 모든 영역으로 확장되었다. 본 연구를 통해, self-drilling 방식으로 마이크로임플란트를 식립할 때 치밀골에 발생하는 스트레인 크기는 생리적인 골개형을 저해할 수 있는 수준임을 확인할 수 있었다.

차량의 측면은 전면이나 후면과 다르게 비대칭으로 설계되어있기 때문에 측면충돌이 일어나는 경우 충돌부위에 따라 차체의 변형정도가 크게 달라진다. 충돌로 인하여 차체에 탄성 및 소성 변형이 일어날 때 운동에너지가 차체로 흡수되어 운동량이 감소하게 된다. 일반적으로 교통사고분석은 충돌 후 차량의 거동을 운동량 보존법칙으로 분석하며 차체의 변형에 따른 에너지 흡수량은 반발계수를 적용해 그 오차를 보정한다. 본 연구에서는 차체의 구조와 각 부품의 재료특성을 적용한 유한요소 차량모델을 LS-DYNA로 해석하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 SUV와 승용차의 측면충돌에서 차량의 접촉부위에 따른 반발계수와 충돌감지시간을 도출하였다. 최종적으로 산출된 반발계수와 충돌감지시간을 실제 교통사고 사례에 적용하였을 때 결과오차의 개선효과를 얻었다. 유한요소해석 모델을 이용하여 도출한 초기 입력값을 적용했을 때 기존의 분석기법보다 해석의 신뢰도가 높다는 결과를 얻게 되었다.

Concrete is a heterogeneous material exhibiting quasi-brittle behaviour. While homogenization of concrete is commonly accepted in general engineering applications, a detailed description of the material heterogeneity using a mesoscale model becomes desirable and even necessary for problems where drastic spatial and time variation of the stress and strain is involved, for example in the analysis of local damages under impact, shock or blast load. A mesoscale model can also assist in an investigation into the underlying mechanisms affecting the bulk material behaviour under various stress conditions. Extending from existing mesoscale model studies, where use is often made of specialized codes with limited capability in the material description and numerical solutions, this paper presents a mesoscale computational model developed under a general-purpose finite element environment. The aim is to facilitate the utilization of sophisticated material descriptions (e.g., pressure and rate dependency) and advanced numerical solvers to suit a broad range of applications, including high impulsive dynamic analysis. The whole procedure encompasses a module for the generation of concrete mesoscale structure; a process for the generation of the FE mesh, considering two alternative schemes for the interface transition zone (ITZ); and the nonlinear analysis of the mesoscale FE model with an explicit time integration approach. The development of the model and various associated computational considerations are discussed in this paper (Part 1). Further numerical studies using the mesoscale model for both quasi-static and dynamic loadings will be presented in the companion paper (Part 2).

The integrity assessment of reactor vessel internals should be conducted in the design process to secure the safety of nuclear power plants. Various loads such as self-weight, seismic load, flow-induced load, and preload are applied to the internals. Therefore, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Section III, defines the stress limit for reactor vessel internals. The present study focused on structural response analyses of the upper guide structure upper flange. The distributions of the stress intensity in the flange body were analyzed under various design load cases during normal operation. The allowable stress intensities along the expected sections of stress concentration were derived from the results of the finite element analysis for evaluating the structural integrity of the flange design. Furthermore, seismic analyses of the upper flange were performed to identify dynamic behavior with respect to the seismic and impact input. The mode superposition and full transient methods were used to perform time-history analyses, and the displacement at the lower end of the flange was obtained. The effect of the damping ratio on the response of the flange was also evaluated, and the acceleration was obtained. The results of elastic and seismic analyses in this study will be used as basic information to judge whether a flange design meets the acceptance criteria.

This paper is about design concept and simplified analysis method against dropped object events. The ships and offshore structures are exposed to various types of dropped object accidents such as laydown area struck by drill collar and topside deck hit by food container during their lifetime. Mitigation can be accomplished by proper facility layout and designing structures to safely absorb energy from accidental loads. It shall be designed to avoid loss of life, environmental pollution and loss of assets. Impact loads can lead to structural global collapse of the main structure or punching of a local barrier type structure with potential to escalate directly or indirectly to a global collapse of the structure. This study provides the background information on the issue of dropped object of the shipyard and also focuses on structural assessment of the local individual component such as deck plate, stiffener and web/girder by using simplified analysis method. The results of the simplified analysis method were compared with numerical results using non-linear finite element simulation.

1970년대 산업화에 따른 플랜트 구조물이 노후화됨에 따라 구조적 기능을 상실해 발파 해체 공법을 활용한 해체 철거 수요가 증가하고 있다. 발파 해체공법은 기계식 해체공법에 비해 해체 공기가 짧아 환경공해 발생 노출 시간을 최소화할 수 있지만 잘못된 발파 설계 및 시공 계획에 따른 붕괴거동의 실패는 안전성에 매우 큰 위험을 유발한다. 따라서 붕괴거동 모사를 통해 최적의 발파 해체 조건과 이에 따른 영향을 고려하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 Finite element method (FEM)와 Discrete element method (DEM)의 장점을 활용해 구축된 3-D Combined finite discrete element method (FDEM) 코드 기반 3-D DFPA 를 적용해 (구)서천화력발전소의 연돌 구조물에 대한 해체 모사를 수행하였으며 실제 구조물의 연돌 구조물 발파해체의 붕괴거동과 비교 분석하였다. 수치 모사 결과, 실제 구조물과 붕괴 거동 및 붕괴 완료 시간이 동일하게 나타났다. 또한, 발파구간 개구부 상부에 위치한 후드부의 크기가 연돌의 붕괴거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 후드부의 면적을 조정하여 해체 모사를 수행하고 균열 발생 양상 및 z-방향 변위 곡선을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 후드부의 면적이 증가함에 따라 하중을 지지하는 면적이 줄어들고 그에 따른 균열 발생 증가 및 전도 시간 감소를 확인하였다.
