A reliable and practical finite element modeling technique to predict the lifetime of automotive electronics is important for engineers in reliability. In reliability evaluation on the automotive electronics, most studies rarely used FE model verification process. The material properties and boundary conditions are very important factors in this process to assure the reliability of the automotive electronics. This study aims to develop a better and more accurate FE model in order to predict fatigue life of the automotive electronics using Virtual Qualification lifetime assessment techniques. After conducting the modal analysis by the experiments to grasp a system characteristic, this paper presents material properties and boundary conditions that is obtained by the comparisons of FEA simulation results using DOE technique and the experiment results.

This paper develops a finite element model for studying the occupant behavior and injury cofficients of a large-sized cab-over type truck. Since it does not have a room to absorb collision energy and deformation in front of the passenger compartment the deformation is directly transmitted to the passenger compartment. Moreover, since its steering column is attached on the frame, severe deformation of the frame directly affects on the steering wheel's movement. Therefore, if the occupant behavior and injury coefficients analysis is performed using a finite element model developed based on a sled test, it is very difficult to expect acquiring satisfactory results. Thus, the finite element model developing in this paper is based on the frontal crash test in order to overcome the inherent problems of the sled test based model commonly used in the passenger car. The occupant behavior and injury coefficients analysis is performed using PAM-CRASH installed in super-computer SP2. In order to validate the reliability of the developed finite element model, a frontal crash test is carried out according to a test method used fur developing truck occupant's secondary safety system in european community and japan. That is, test vehicle's collision direction is vertical to the rigid barrier and collision velocity is 45kph. Thus, measured vehicle pulses at the lower parts of the left and right B-pilla., dummy chest and head deceleration profiles, HIC(head injury criterial) and CA(chest acceleration) values, and dummy behavior from the frontal crash test are compared to the analysis results to validate reliability of the developed model.

액체저장탱크는 화학물질을 다루는 산업단지의 주요한 구조물로서, 지진으로 인한 구조물의 손상은 화학물질의 유출, 화재, 폭발 등의 추가적인 피해를 야기한다. 따라서 액체저장탱크의 지진 취약성을 사전에 효율적으로 평가하고, 지진에 대비하는 일이 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 지진으로 인해 진동하는 액체저장탱크는 액체-구조물의 상호작용으로 탱크 벽체에 유동압력이 작용하며, 이는 탱크의 응력을 증가시키고 구조적 손상을 일으키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 한편, 구조물의 지진 취약성은 여러 불확실성 요인들을 고려하여 정해진 한계상태에 대한 파괴확률을 산정함으로써 평가하게 되는데, 보다 정확한 액체저장탱크 지진 취약도 평가를 위해서는 신뢰성 해석 과정에서 정교한 유한요소 해석이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근에 신뢰성 해석 소프트웨어와 유한요소 해석 소프트웨어를 서로 연동시켜 개발된 FERUM-ABAQUS를 활용한 유한요소 신뢰성 해석을 통해 액체저장탱크의 파괴확률을 계산하였다. 이러한 유한요소 신뢰성 해석 기법은 두 소프트웨어 간의 자동적인 데이터 교환이 가능하여 보다 효율적으로 구조물의 지진 취약성을 평가할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 얻은 파괴확률 결과를 바탕으로 지진 강도에 따른 액체저장탱크의 지진 취약도 곡선을 성공적으로 도출하였다.

Recently, long large bridges are built for mass transportation. Movable bearing shoes are important components of the bridges because they support movement of translation and rotation of bridge. In design stage of the long large bridges, detailed analyses using the finite element method are performed to guarantee safety and reliability. For that purpose, three-dimensional modeling is carried out by I-DEAS software and finite element analysis by ANSYS software. Results of the analyses are reviewed and important design factors for movable bearing shoes are discussed.

Bellows is a familiar component in piping systems as it provides a relatively simple means of absorbing thermal expansion and providing system flexibility. In routine piping flexibility analysis by finite element methods, bellows is usually considered to be straight pipe runs modified by an appropriate flexibility factor; maximum stresses are evaluated using a corresponding stress concentration factor. The aim of this study is to develop a bellows finite element, which similarly includes more complex shell type deformation patterns. This element also does not require flexibility or stress factors, but evaluates more detailed deformation and stress patterns. The proposed bellows element is a 3-D, 2-noded line element, with three degrees of freedom per node and no bending. It is formulated by including additional 'internal' degrees of freedom to account for the deformation of the bellows corrugation; specifically a quarter toroidal section of the bellows, loaded by axial force, is considered and the shell type deformation of this is include by way of an approximating trigonometric series. The stiffness of each half bellows section may be found by minimising the potential energy of the section for a chosen deformation shape function. An experiment on the flexibility is performed to verify the reliability for bellows finite element.

As the power density and switching frequency increase, thermal analysis of power electronics system becomes imperative. The analysis provides valuable information on the semiconductor rating, long-term reliability. In this paper, thermal distribution of the Non Punchthrough(NPT) Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor has been studied. For analysis of thermal distribution, we obtained results by using finite element simulator, Ansys and thermal distributions form experiments.

The uncertainties associated with structural parameters and dynamic loading are identified and discussed. Structural parametric uncertainties are treated as random variables and dynamic wind load is simulated as a random process. Dynamic wind-induced responses of structures with parametric uncertainties are investigated by using stochastic finite element method. The formulas for structural dynamic reliability analysis considering the randomness of structural resistance and loading are proposed. Two numerical examples of high-rise structures are presented to illustrate the proposed methodology. The calculated results demonstrate that the variation in structural parameters indeed influences the dynamic response and the first passage probability evaluation of structures.

This paper aims to probabilistically evaluate performance of two types of I beam to box column (IBBC) connection. With the objective of considering the variability of seismic loading demand, statistical features of the inter-story drift ratio corresponding to the second, fifth and eleventh story of a 12-story steel special moment resisting frames are extracted through incremental dynamic analysis at global collapse state. Variability of geometrical variables and material strength are also taken into account. All of these random variables are exported as inputs to a probabilistic finite element model which simulates the connection. At the end, cumulative distribution functions of local seismic demand for each component of each connection are provided using histogram sampling. Through a parametric study on probabilistic local seismic demand, the influence of some geometrical random variables on the performance of IBBC connections is demonstrated. Furthermore, the probabilistic study revealed that IBBC connection with widened flange has a better performance than the un-widened flange. Also, a design procedure is proposed for WF connections to achieve a same connection performance in different stories.

Fracture phenomenon has been reported on blades, rotors, connections and rotor discs of LP turbines of nuclear power plants, which is caused by fatigue, stress corrosion and erosion. In this study, as a tool of reliability evaluation, a number of stress and fracture analyses were performed on the defected area under various operating conditions using the finite element method. Possible defects on key-way and rotor disc were assumed to be two-dimensional cracks and centrifugal force, temperature distribution and shrink-fit effect were included as external loads. From stress analysis results, stress intensity factors were obtained and these values can be utilized to evaluate reliability and predict remaining lifetime of the turbine discs.

The recent increased use of mobile phone has resulted in a technical focusing on reliability issues related to drop performance. Since mobile phone may be dropped several times during their use, it is required to survive common drop accidents. The plastic injection parts such as base stopper and carrier in the encoder type actuator can be broken easily in the actual reliability test of 1.5m free drop. So, we analyzed the shock resistance characteristics of auto focus actuator with variables in the material properties using finite element method. By applying the new resin materials, we can decrease the breakage of plastic injection parts and improve the reliability of mobile phone.
