This study investigated the structural performance of the precast prestressed cylinder pipe having cracked under construction. The finite element formulation of PPC pipe incorporates Asoild elements using SAP90 program and the radial prestress force was transformed into the eqivalent external pressure. The analytical results were compared with the experimental results of full scale tests on PPC pipes subjected to static load. It is shown that the proposed modelling gives a realistic represention of the actual behavior. The analytical procedure is used to calculate the stresses in the PPC pipes and to check the crack opening under various situations such as bedding angle, earth pressure, and earth cover. Finally, the proposed modelling and analytical procedure should be especially usefull for the safety assessment of the PPC pipes under general loading conditions.

Vibration characteristics of a fuel rod to be used in KALIMER(Korean Advanced LIquid MEtal Reactor) have been estimated through 3-dimensional finite element analysis and verified by experiment. The fundamental natural frequencies are found to be 6㎐ in air and 2.5㎐ in water. respectively. It has been found that in-water natural frequencies of the fuel rod are lower than in-air ones due to the added mass effect of the fluid filled inside the outer cylinder and they further decreases as the gap between the fuel rod and the outer cylinder increases, namely the added mass effect increases as the gap increases(maximum 54%). It has been also shown that the mass of the wire wrap axially coiled around the fuel rod do not affect the natural frequencies.

The radiation problem for an oscillating cylinder advancing under the free surface with a constant horizontal velocity is studied using the Green integral equation in the frequency domain. The Green function expressed in terms of the complex exponential, is derived using the damped free surface condition. Special attention is given to the behavior of the numerical solution in the vicinity of the critical Brard number ${\gamma}_c=\omega{\cdot}u/g=0.25$ where $\omega$ is the circular frequency of encounter, u the advancing speed and g the gravitational acceleration. It is shown that the solution is finite in the vicinity of ${\gamma}_c$ although the Green function becomes singular at ${\gamma}_c$. It is also shown that the computed hydrodynamic coefficients agree well with those obtained from the solution of the same problem formulated in the time domain.

In the Lagrangian vortex particle method based on the vorticity-velocity formulation for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, a numerical scheme for calculating pressure fields is presented. Implementation of the numerical method is directly connected with the well-established surface panel methods, just by dealing with the dynamic coupling among vorticity field. Assuming the vorticity and the velocity fields are to be calculated in time domain analysis, the pressure calculation for a complete set of solution at present time step is performed in a similar way to the one used in the Eulerian description. For a validation of the present method, we illustrate the early development of the viscous flow about an impulsive started circular cylinder for Reynolds number 550. The comparative study with the Eulerian finite Volume method provides an extensive understanding and application of the mesh-free Lagrangian vortex methods for numerical simulation of viscous flows around arbitrary bodies of general shape.

Thermal gradient chemical vapor infiltration (TG-CVI) process, which is one of the CVI techniques to densify a porous fiber preform, requires for a heater to have uniform surface temperature distribution. Thus, it is essential to design the shape of the heater and to predict the temperature distribution when the heater has a profile which is not a simple cylinder. In this study, an analytical method has been used to design the inner profile of a conical heater showing uniform temperature distribution, if its outer shape is specified. Temperature distribution on the heater surface has been calculated with the finite difference method and compared with the experimental results. When a heater had a combined profile with a large cone and a small cylinder, temperature was higher in the cylindrical part. To reduce the temperature difference between these areas, a hole-machining method has been proposed including other possible ones. A shape design and optimization program has been made to improve the temperature uniformity of the TG-CVI heater better than that designed with the analytical method.

In this paper, a modification of PISO algorithm based on standard k-ε turbulence model was proposed. The numerical technique used in this research is finite volume method, hybrid scheme for discretizing convection term, Euler implicit scheme for discretizing time term, and non-staggered grid. The basic idea of the modification of PISO algorithm is to perform an additional corrector stage for turbulence kinetic energy and dissipation rate to correct the inconsistence of flow and turbulence. In order to validate this algorithm, simulation of flow around a square cylinder (Re=3000) was performed in two-dimensional case. The results obtained from the proposed scheme show better agreement with those from the experiment than using original PISO algorithm in coherent velocity field.

This paper reports results of the structural response of empty steel tanks under vertical ground motions. The tanks are modeled using a finite element discretization using shell elements, and the vertical motion is applied and analyzed using nonlinear dynamics. Several excitation frequencies are considered, with emphasis on those that may lead to resonance of the roof. The computational results illustrate that as the base motion frequency is tuned with the frequency of the first roof-mode of the tank, the system displays large-amplitude displacements. For frequencies away from such mode, small amplitude displacements are obtained. The effect of the height of the cylinder on the dynamic response of the tank to vertical ground motion has also been investigated. The vertical acceleration of the ground motion that induces significant changes in the stiffness of the tank was found to be almost constant regardless of the height of the cylinder.

The shape memory alloys (SMAs) are often used in smart materials and structures as the active components. Their ability to provide a high recovery force and a large displacement has been used in many applications. In this paper the radial displacement of an externally pressurized elliptic composite cylinder where SMA liner or strips actuators are bonded on its inner or outer surface is investigated numerically. The elliptic composite cylinders consisting of an inlet duct system with SMAs are designed and analyzed to determine the feasibility of such a system for the removal of stiffeners from an externally pressurized duct of an aircraft inlet. The deformations caused by prestrained SMAs placed on either surface of an elliptic composite cylinder are studied when activated. The externally pressurized elliptic composite cylinders with the SMA actuators were analyzed using the 3-D finite element method incorporated with 3-D SMA behaviors. The results show that the role of stiffeners may be switched by the activated light SMA actuators.

This paper reports simulation and evaluation of the magnetic flux density (MFD) of a rotating Halbach magnet (RHM) composed of a rotating inner Halbach cylinder (HC) and a fixed outer HC. We first chose the dimension of a single HC, then determined the dimensions of an inner and outer HC to get MFD = 2 T. Simulation results were used to guide fabrication of an RHM; its magnetic field in the central axis direction agreed well with simulated values.

This paper describes a research work on the die design for the deep drawing & ironing(D. D. I) of high pressure gas cylinder. D. D. I die set is large-sized die used in horizontal press, which is usually composed of a drawing, and an ironing die. Design method of D. D. I die set is very different from that of conventional cold forging die set. Outer diameter of the die set is fixed because of press specification and that of the insert should be as small as possible for saving material cost. In this study, D. D. I die set has been designed to consider those characteristics, and the feasibility of the designed die has been verified by FE-analysis. In addition, the automated system of die design has been developed in AutoCAD R14 by formulating the applied methods to the regular rules.
