In this study, the optimal location of the MR fluid segments in a partially treated laminated composite sandwich plate has been identified to maximize the natural frequencies and the loss factors. The finite element formulation is used to derive the governing differential equations of motion for a partially treated laminated composite sandwich plate embedded with MR fluid and rubber material as the core layer and laminated composite plate as the face layers. An optimization problem is formulated and solved by combining finite element analysis (FEA) and genetic algorithm (GA) to obtain the optimal locations to yield maximum natural frequency and loss factor corresponding to first five modes of flexural vibration of the sandwich plate with various combinations of weighting factors under various boundary conditions. The proposed methodology is validated by comparing the natural frequencies evaluated at optimal locations of MR fluid pockets identified through GA coupled with FEA and the experimental measurements. The converged results suggest that the optimal location of MR fluid pockets is strongly influenced not only by the boundary conditions and modes of vibrations but also by the objectives of maximization of natural frequency and loss factors either individually or combined. The optimal layout could be useful to apply the MR fluid pockets at critical components of large structure to realize more efficient and compact vibration control mechanism with variable damping.

본 논문에서는 탄소-페놀 복합재로 제조된 로켓 노즐 내열부품의 고온에서의 거동을 3차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델을 사용하여 해석하였다. 실제 작동 조건을 사용하여 카울 영역의 적층링을 해석한 결과 층각도, 축방향 치수, 경계조건은 적층링 내부의 응력 분포에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 링과 링 사이의 접합부분에서 모서리 탈락 현상의 전조 현상인 층간분리가 발생한다. 분리현상 이후에는 층각도 방향 전단응력과 축방향 압축응력에 의해 탈락 현상이 발생하는 것으로 판단된다.

Shape design optimization of shell structure is implemented on a basis of integrated framework of geometric modeling and finite element analysis which is constructed on the geometrically exact shell theory. This shell theory enables more accurate and robust analysis for complicated shell structures, and it fits for the nature of B-spline function which Is popular modeling scheme in CAD field. Shape of laminated composite shells is optimized through genetic algorithm and sequential linear programming, because there ire numerous optima for various configurations, constraints, and searching paths. Sequential adaptation of global and local optimization makes the process more efficient. Two different optimized results of laminated composite shell structures to minimize strain energy are shown for different layup sequence.

Active control of flexural vibrations of smart laminated composite beams has been carried out using piezoceramic sensor/actuator and viscoelastic material. The beams with passive constrained-layer damping have been analyzed by formulating the equations of motion through the use of extended Hamilton's principle. The dynamic characteristics such as damping ratio and modal damping of the beam are calculated for various fiber orientations by means of iterative complex eigensolution method, This paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite under flexural vibrations to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity.

Satellites with flexible lightweight solar panels are sensitive to vibration that is caused by internal actuators such as reaction or momentum wheels which are used to control the attitude of the satellite. Any infinitesimal amount of unbalance in the reaction wheels rotors will impose a harmonic excitation which may interact with the solar panels structure. Therefore, quenching the solar panel's vibration is of a practical importance. In the present work, the panels are modeled as laminated composite beam using first-order shear deformation laminated plate theory which accounts for rotational inertia as well as shear deformation effects. The vibration suppression is achieved by bonding patches of piezoelectric material with suitable dimensions at selected locations along the panel. These patches are actuated by driving control voltages. The governing equations for the system are formulated and the dynamic Green's functions are used to present an exact yet simple solution for the problem. A guide lines is proposed for determining the values of the driving voltage in order to suppress the induced vibration.

LNG cargo containment system (CCS) has the primary function of ensuring adequate thermal insulation with keeping natural gas below its boiling point. From the viewpoint of structural design, this LNG CCS can be treated as a laminated composite structure showing complex structural responses under the sloshing load which can be defined as a violent behavior of the liquid contents in cargo tanks due to external forced motions. As LNG CCS type, Mark III containment system from TGZ is considered in this paper and then its structural strength assessment is performed based on a simple higher-order shear deformation theory and maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai-Wu failure criteria developed for laminated composite plates. The assessment is performed to the initial failure of the Mark III CS plate by investigating failure locations and loads.

At the preliminary design stage, the orientations of laminae in a laminate are not known. This fact discourages the most of engineers from the beginning. If the quasi-isotropic constants are used, it halps the design engineer greatly to start his work. If conventional mechanics and elasticity theories can be used, the effort for design and analysis is greatly reduced. This paper reports the possibility of using the classical mechanics at the preliminary design stage for the laminated composite primary structure for civil construction. The result is quite promissing.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유강화 복합재를 적층각과 적층순서에 따라 C-channel 형상에서 발생하는 스프링-인을 유한요소해석(ABAQUS)을 통해 예측하였다. 복합재 제작공정에서 냉각시의 큰 온도차 및 적층각에 따른 열팽창계수 및 화학적 수축계수의 차이로 인해 변형(스프링-인)이 발생한다. 이러한 변형은 제품의 품질과 직결되는 문제이며, 반드시 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 유한요소해석 시 CHILE모델과 화학적 수축을 고려한 서브루틴을 제작하여 적용하였으며, [0/X/Y/90]s case에 대해 X,Y를 $0{\sim}90^{\circ}$까지 변화시키며 각 case에 대한 스프링-인 발생량을 예측, 분석하였다.

Structural surface becomes an antenna. The integration of antennas into structural body panels is a new high payoff technology. It emerged from the need to improve structural efficiency and antenna performance. In this paper, we developed new design concept for the structural surface which transmits and receives the electromagnetic signals, and it is termed Surface-Antenna-Structure (SAS). Design procedure was presented including structure design. material selection and design of antenna elements, which was processed according to the communication with KORSAT satellite at Ku-Band (12.25-12.75 GHz).

Genetic alsorithm (GA) , compared to the gradient-based optimization, has advantages of convergence to a global optimized solution. The genetic algorithm requires so many number of analyses that may cause high computational cost for genetic search. This paper proposes a personal computer network programming based on TCP/IP protocol and client-server model using socket, to improve processing speed of the genetic algorithm for optimization of composite laminated structures. By distributed processing for the generated population, improvement in processing speed has been obtained. Consequently, usage of network-based genetic algorithm with the faster network communication speed will be a very valuable tool for the discrete optimization of large scale and complex structures requiring high computational cost.
