본 연구에서는 이동최소제곱 다절점 유한요소를 이용한 새로운 전역-국부해석기법을 제시하였다. 다절점 유한요소는 요소의 변에 임의의 수 절점을 가질 수 있으므로, 여러 개의 유한요소를 요소망의 재구성 없이 동시적으로 결합시킬 수 있다. 이는 응력구배가 집중되는 곳에 유한요소망을 구성하는 데에 있어 큰 편의를 제공한다. 또한 기존의 전역-국부해석기법처럼 중첩된 요소망을 사용하거나, 지배방정식을 두 번 해석할 필요가 없기 때문에 매우 간편하고 정확하다. 제시된 방법론의 성능을 검증하기 위해 응력 집중과 관련된 다양한 다중스케일 문제를 해석하였다.

Behavior of underground structural systems is usually complicated because of various unknown parameters. In order to construct those structural systems safely and economically, exact identification of the system parameters and accurate analysis of the system behaviors are essentially required. In this study, a forward analysis program, which is able to eliminate numerical errors due to far field boundary effect, is developed by coupling finite and boundary elements. In this coupled analysis, boundary elements are used in the semi-infinite domain where stress variation is small, and finite elements in the stress concentration region where material nonlinearity should be considered. Then, a back analysis program which can identify the system parameters is developed using the direct method to be combined with the forward analysis program. The elastic modulus and initial stress, which are most important in the description of the behavior of underground structures, are taken as the system parameters. A simple example is examined 0 show that the method can be used effectively.

Finite element analysis(FEA) is the most popular numerical method to simulate plasticity-induced fatigue crack closure and can predict fatigue crack closure behavior. Finite element analysis under plane stress state using 4-node isoparametric elements is performed to investigate the detailed closure behavior of fatigue cracks and the numerical results are compared with experimental results. The mesh of constant size elements on the crack surface can not correctly predict the opening level for fatigue crack as shown in the previous works. The crack opening behavior for the size mesh with a linear change shows almost flat stress level after a crack tip has passed by the monotonic plastic zone. The prediction of crack opening level presents a good agreement with published experimental data regardless of stress ratios, which are using the mesh of the elements that are in proportion to the reversed plastic zone size considering the opening stress intensity factors. Numerical interpolation results of finite element analysis can precisely predict the crack opening level. This method shows a good agreement with the experimental data regardless of the stress ratios and kinds of materials.

This paper develops a finite element model for studying the crashworthiness analysis of a mid-size truck. A simulation for a truck frontal crash to a rigid barrier using the model is performed with PAM-CRASH installed in super computer SP2. Full vehicle model is composed of 86467 shell elements, 165 beam elements and 98 bar elements, and 86769 nodes. The model uses four material model such as elastic, elastic-plastic(steel), rigid and elastic-plastic(rubber) material model which are in PAM-CRASH. Frame and suspension system are modeled with 28774 shell elements and 31412 nodes. Cab is modeled with 34680 shell elements and 57 beam elements, and 36254 nodes. Bumper is modeled with 2262 shell elements, and 2508 nodes. Axle, steering shaft, etc are modeled using beam or bar elements. Mounting parts are modeled using rigid bodies. Bodies are interconnected using nodal constrains or joint options. To verify the developed model, frontal crash test with 30mph velocity to a rigid barrier is carried out. In the crash test, vehicle pulse at lower part of b-pillar is measured, and deformed shapes of frame and driver seat area are photographed. Those measured vehicle pulse and photographed pictures are compared those from the simulation to verify the developed finite element model.

When we use a Finite Elements Method (FEM) to solve a linear static analysis problem, number of elements need to be sufficiently small for convergence of the solution. If we analysis a part, whose curvature is varying heavily, we face to determine how small the elements size is, because the calculated stress is increased as the elements are smaller. In this case, we need to analysis with mesh insensitive method, stress linearization. We can get a solution that is not varying with the elements size if the size is smaller than a certain level. In this paper, we evaluate a pressure vessel having geometrical discontinuities using stress linearization. First, we analysis the vessel with global model, including all part of the vessel, using large shell elements. Second, we analysis the local part of the vessel, which is the small part occurring maximum stress, using small continuum elements. Last, we evaluate the safety of the pressure vessel according to the ASME Sec. VIII Div 2.

The rational finite element method is different from the standard finite element method, which is constructed using basic solutions of the governing differential equations as interpolation functions in the elements. Therefore, it is superior to the isoparametric approach because of its obvious physical meaning and accuracy; it has successfully been applied to the isotropic elasticity problem. In this paper, the formulation of rational finite elements for plane orthotropic elasticity problems is deduced. This method is formulated directly in the physical domain with full consideration of the requirements of the patch test. Based on the number of element nodes and the interpolation functions, different approaches are applied with complete polynomial interpolation functions. Then, two special stiffness matrixes of elements with four and five nodes are deduced as a representative application. In addition, some typical numerical examples are considered to evaluate the performance of the elements. The numerical results demonstrate that the present method has a high level of accuracy and is an effective technique for solving plane orthotropic elasticity problems.

The information on local stress acting in a bridge is required in many occasions such as fatigue assessment. The analysis by beam elements cannot yield this class of information adequately, while the finite element modeling of an entire long-span bridge by shell elements is impractical. In the present study, the hybrid modeling is tried out: only part of a bridge in which the point of interest is located is discretized by shell elements and the remaining part is modeled by beam elements. By solving a simple box girder problem, the effectiveness of this approach is discussed. This technique is then applied to the Rama IX Bridge for local stress evaluation. The numerical results compare very well with the results of a full-scale static loading test. The present research thus offers a practical yet accurate technique for the stress analysis of a long-span cable-stayed bridge.

We present a new global/local analysis with the aid of MLS(Moving Least Square)-based finite elements which can handle an arbitrary number of nodes on every element side. It give a great flexibility in constructing finite element meshes at the specified local regions without remeshing. Compared to other type global/local analysis, it does not require any superimposed mesh or need not solve the equilibrium equation twice as well as shows an excellent accuracy. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, we will show several examples in relation to capturing highly local stress field.

지하구조물의 주위지반은 일반적으로 퇴적층의 형성 또는 지각의 변동에 의해 다층구조를 가지게 되므로, 구조물 및 주위지반의 거동을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 해석에 다층구조의 영향을 반영해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다층으로 구성된 지하구조계를 대상으로 하여 구조물과 그 주변에는 비선형 유한요소를 사용하고, 비선형성이 상대적으로 미약한 주변 다층지반에는 선형 경계요소를 사용하여 재료의 비선형성과 비균질성을 고려한 효율적인 조합해석방법을 개발하고자 한다. 반무한영역에 설정되는 다층구조계를 경계요소로 해석할 경우 그 기본해가 제한되어 있으므로, 본 연구에서는 기존의 무한기본해를 이용하는 방법을 사용하였다. 무한기본해를 이용하는 내부영역문제의 경우 각각의 균질한 층을 부영역(subdomain)으로 분할하고 계방정식을 구성한 뒤에 접합면에 대하여 평형조건과 적합조건을 만족시켜 주는 방법을 사용하여 비균질성을 고려한다. 부영역으로 층을 분할한 내부영역문제의 경계요소해석 결과는 선형 유한요소해석 결과와 비교하여 검증하였고, 검증된 경계요소 프로그램을 비선형 유한요소 프로그램과 조합하였다. 조합해석 결과, 굴착부 주변의 응력집 중부에는 비선형 유한요소를 사용하고, 비선형의 영향이 미소한 주변의 다층지반에 대해서는 부영역에 의한 선형 경계요소를 사용하는 조합해석방법이 합리적이고 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.
