In this paper, the vibroacoustic responses of baffled laminated composite sandwich flat panel structure under the influence of harmonic excitation are studied numerically using a novel higher-order coupled finite-boundary element model. A numerical scheme for the vibrating plate has been developed in the frame work of the higher-order mid-plane kinematics and the eigen frequencies are obtained by employing suitable finite element steps. The acoustic responses are then computed by solving the Helmholtz wave equation using boundary element method coupled with the structural finite elements. The proposed scheme has been implemented via an own MATLAB base code to compute the desired responses. The validity of the present model is established from the conformance of the current natural frequencies and the radiated sound power with the available benchmark solutions. The model is further utilized to scrutinize the influence of core-to-face thickness ratio, modular ratio, lamination scheme and the support condition on the sound radiation characteristics of the vibrating sandwich flats panel. It can be concluded that the present scheme is not only accurate but also efficient and simple in providing solutions of the coupled vibroacoustic response of laminated composite sandwich plates.

A state-of-the-art report on the new finite elements formulated by the addition of nonconforming displacement modes has been presented. The development of a series improved nonconforming finite elements for the analysis of plate and shell structures is described in the first part of this paper. These new plate and shell finite elements are established by the combined use of different improvement schemes such as; the addition of nonconforming modes, the reduced (or selective) integration, and the construction of the substitute shear strain fields. The improvement achieved may be attributable to the fact that the merits of these improvement techniques are merged into the formation of the new elements in a complementary manner. It is shown that the results obtained by the new elements give significantly improved solutions without any serious defects such as; the shear locking, spurious zero energy mode for the linear as well as nonlinear benchmark problems. Recent developments in the transition elements that have a variable number of mid-side nodes and can be effectively used in the adaptive mesh refinement are presented in the second part. Finally, the nonconforming transition flat shell elements with drilling degrees of freedom are also presented.

The reinforced concrete farm silos on the elastic foundatin are widely used in agricultural engineering because of their superior structural performance, economy and attractive appearance. Various methods for the analysis and design of farm silo, such as the analytical method, the finite difference method, and the finite element methods, can be used. But the analytical procedure can not be applied for the intricate conditions in practice. Therefore lately the finite element method has been become in the structural mechanics. In this paper, a method of finite element analysis for the cylindrical farm silo on ffness matrix for the elastic foundation governed by winkler's assumption. A complete computer programs have been developed in this paper can be applicable not only to the shell structures on elastic foundation but also to the arbitrary three dimensional structures. Assuming the small deflection theory, the membrane and plate bending behaviours of flat plate element can be assumed mutually uncoupled. In this case, the element has 5 degrees of freedom per node when defined in the local coordinate system. However, when the element properties are transformed to the global coordinates for assembly, the 6th degree of freedom should be considered. A problem arises in this procedure the resultant stiffness in the 6th degree of freedom at this node will be zero. But this singularity of the stiffness matrix can be eliminated easily by merely replacing the zero diagonal by dummy stiffness.

Localizing damages is an essential task to monitor the health of the structures since they may not be able to operate anymore. Among the damage detection techniques, non-destructive methods are considerably more preferred than destructive methods since damage can be located without affecting the structural integrity. However, these methods have several drawbacks in terms of detecting abilities, time consumption, cost, and hardware or software requirements. Employing artificial intelligence techniques could overcome such issues and could provide a powerful damage detection model if the technique is utilized correctly. In this study, the crack localization in flat and folded plate structures has been conducted by employing a Backpropagated Artificial Neural Network (BPANN). For this purpose, cracks with 18 different dimensions in thin, flat, and folded structures having 15⁰, 30⁰, 45⁰, and 60⁰ folding angle have been modeled and subjected to free vibration analysis by employing the Classical Plate Theory with Finite Element Method. A Four-nodded quadrilateral element having six degrees of freedom has been considered to represent those structures mathematically. The first ten natural frequencies have been obtained regarding healthy and cracked structures. To localize the crack, the ratios of the frequencies of the cracked flat and folded structures to those of healthy ones have been taken into account. Those ratios have been given to BPANN as the input variables, while the crack locations have been considered as the output variables. A total of 500 crack locations have been regarded within the dataset obtained from the results of the free vibration analysis. To build the best intelligent model, a feature search has been conducted for BAPNN regarding activation function, the number of hidden layers, and the number of hidden neurons. Regarding the analysis results, it is concluded that the BPANN is able to localize the cracks with an average accuracy of 95.12%.

The purpose of the open die press forging is to maximize the internal deformation for better structural homogeneity and center-line consolidation in case of the ingot. A two and three dimensional viscoplastic finite element analysis is carried out for the plate, cylinder and square forging with the flat die in order to study the forging effects during the process. Effect of width, height reduction, and die staggering are studied through simulation of the process. Thus favorable working conditions are suggested for better and more disirable product quality.

Sound intensity distributions and energy flow in the near field of dipole source system and flat plate were investigated. First, the effectiveness of complex acoustic intensity was proved by using mathmatical and experimental methods in order to indentify noise sources and transmission paths of dipole field which is effected by the presence of neighbouring coherent sources. Next, analytical complex acoustic intensity method was discussed and the characteristics and energy flow of sound induced from the plate are clarified. The velocity of plate obtained from Finite Element Method was used for calculation of complex acoustic intensity in the near field. Finally experimental complex acoustic intensity method was applied to a passenger car. It can be seen that complex acoustic intensity method using both of active and reactive intensity is vital in devising a strategy for the identification and the reduction of vibration and noise.

For cylindrical shells, the closed-form solutions are limited only to the cases with special boundary and/or loading conditions. Though the finite element method is certainly a powerful solution approach for the general structural dynamics problems, it is known to provide reliable solutions only in the low frequency region due to the inherent high sensitivities of structural and numerical modeling errors. Instead, the spectral element method has been proved to provide extremely accurate dynamic responses even in the high frequency region. Since the wave characteristics of a cylindrical shell becomes identical to that of a flat plate as the frequency increases, an equivalent plate model (EPM) representing the high-frequency dynamic characteristics of a cylindrical shell is introduced herein. The EPM-based spectral element analysis solutions are compared with the known analytical solutions for the corresponding cylindrical shell to confirm the validity of the present modeling approach.

건축물의 풍진동은 건축물의 사용성평가에 중요한 구조설계 요인 중 하나이다. 신뢰성있는 풍하중 및 풍진동을 구하기 위해서는 정확한 고유주기의 예측이 필요하며 이러한 고유주기에 오차가 있을 경우 하중을 과대 또는 과소평가하게 되는 문제를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 최근 본격적으로 증가하고 있는 초고층 무량판 구조시스템의 건축물에 대하여 계측을 통한 횡강성 산정식의 유효성을 검정하였다. 이를 위하여 최근 건설된 초고층 무량판 구조시스템이 적용된 3개의 건물에 대하여 계측 결과와 해석 모델의 고유주기를 비교 분석하였다. 이때, 무량판 구조물의 횡강성에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대하여 각 케이스별로 해석을 수행하였으며, 특히 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 콘크리트의 할선탄성계수와 동탄성계수가 적용 되었을 때의 구조물의 고유주기 변화를 비교하였다. 그 결과 풍진동에 의한 건물의 변형률은 매우 적기 때문에 할선탄성계수의 적용보다는 동탄성계수의 적용이 보다 정확한 해석의 결과를 가져올 것으로 판단된다.

초음속 노즐 뒤에서 형성되는 과소팽창 제트(Underexpanded jet)가 분사될 때 베럴 충격파(Barrel shock), 팽창과(Expansion fan), 마하 디스크(Mach disc), 제트 경계면(Exhaust-gas jet boundary), 그리고 반사 충격파(Reflected shocks)와 같은 구조의 풍격파 셀(Shock cell)이 연속적으로 나타난다. 이러한 충격파 셀은 난류 소산에 의해 희미해지며 거리가 멀어지면 사라진다. 과소팽창 제트가 수직 평판에 충돌하게 되면 챔버 압력 및 출구 마하수 등 여러 인자들에 따라 달라지는 복잡한 유동장을 형성하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 평판에 충돌하는 과소팽창 제트가 형성하는 유동장을 압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 유한체적법을 적용하여 수치적으로 구한 해존 실험 데이터와 비교 검증하였다. 실험 데이터와 계산 결과의 압력구배 및 유동가시화 사진 비교 견과 노즐과 평판이 가까운 경우에 충돌제트유동을 잘 예측할 수 있었으며, 과소팽창비가 작을 때 과소팽창비에 따른 충돌제트 유동분포의 영향은 자게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.
