Rubber is used extensively in many industries because of its large reversible elastic deformation, excellent damping and energy absorption characteristics, and wide availability. It becomes very important to predict the fatigue life of rubber components. But a great deal of time and cost are necessary for the fatigue test of rubber components. In this study the fatigue life of rubber components is evaluated by performing the fatigue test of a specimen and FE analysis. The fatigue life of Jang-gu type specimen which is considered as a simple rubber component is predicted and compared with experimental results. Its material is natural rubber of which hardness is 60 and used for the engine mount of commercial vehicles.

In this paper, a continuous contact treatment has been considered during FE-analysis of the sheet metal forming processes. Because the simulation is usually performed stepwise, the status of contact can change suddenly. In case of implicit scheme, the increment of punch stroke can be chosen as large value. For exact assessment of contact force and friction force between die and sheet, the continuous contact treatment is proposed. The virtual surface of sheet metal is modeled by NURBS curves or surfaces in order to calculate exact contact area and penetration depth. From the geometrical evaluation of contact behavior, additional contact pressure is imposed to the element. The deformation of bending process and hydroforming process are analyzed based on this scheme.

The significance of casting/forging process for reducing the production cost of large components is being noted in these days. This casting/forging process is a method of forging a workpiece preformed by casting into the final shape. In this study, the casting/forging process has been applied in manufacturing a large aluminum flange in order to determine the optimum forging condition of the aluminum flange. The optimum range of forging temperature of Al 5083 was from $420^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. The suitable strain rate was 1.5 $sec^{-1}$. The deformation amount of a preform in a forging process is key role in the mechanical properties of casting/forging products. In order to find the change of mechanical properties according to effective stain of cast aluminum billets, a hot upsetting test were performed with rectangular blocks and then a uniaxial tensile test was performed with specimens cut from the upsetted billets. The tensile strength and the elongation of cast/upsetted aluminum billets were increased largely until the effective strain was 0.7. FE analysis was performed to determine the configurations of cast preform and die for an aluminum flange. In the FE analysis, the forging load-limit was fixed 1500ton for the low equipment cost. The cast preform was designed so that the effective stain around the neck of a flange exceeds 0.7. In the forging experiment for an aluminum flange, it was confirmed that the optimal configuration of the cast preform predicted by FE analysis was very useful. The cast/forged products using designed preform were made perfectly without any defects.

An algorithm for automatic mesh generation of two-dimensional arbitrary planar domain is proposed by using Delaunay triangulation algorithm. An efficient algorithm is proposed for the construction of Delaunay triangulation algorithm over convex planar domain. From the definition of boundary, boundary nodes are first defined and then interior nodes are generated ensuring the Delaunay property. These interior nodes and the boundary nodes are then linked up together to produce a valid triangular mesh for any finite element analysis. Through the various example, it is found that high-quality triangular element meshes are obtained by Delaunay algorithm, showing the robustness of the current method. The proposed mesh generation scheme has been extended to automatic remeshing, which is applicable to FE analysis including large deformation and large distortion of elements.

대수심 부유 구조물의 하부기초 기술 중 하나인 dynamically penetration anchor (DPA 또는 흔히 torpedo anchor로 칭함)의 거동특성을 시험결과 및 수치 해석적 접근을 통해 분석하였다. 기존의 유한요소 해석기법으로는 이러한 대수심 anchor 구조물의 거동 특성을 적절히 모사하기 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 이러한 부분을 해결하기 위해 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) 법을 통해 지반-구조물 사이에서 발생하는 메쉬(mesh)의 distortion 현상 및 경계조건 등의 문제점을 대변형의 관점에서 해결하고자 하였다. 실측치와의 비교를 통해, CEL 기법의 타당성을 검증하였고, 그 결과 본 연구에서 적용한 CEL 기법이 기존 유한요소 기술로는 구현이 불가능한 대수심 anchoring system의 자유낙하에 의한 전반적인 거동 및 지반의 변형특성을 적절히 예측함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 검증된 기법을 바탕으로 dynamic anchor의 거동에 영향을 주는 여러 요소들에 대한 매개변수 연구를 추가로 수행하였다.

A finite-element method was employed to analyze axisymmetric unsteady motion of a deformable bubble near the wall. In the present study a deformable bubble in a Newtonian medium near the wall was considered. In solving the governing equations a structured mesh generator was used to describe the collapse of highly deformed bubbles with the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method being employed in order to capture the transient bubble boundary effectively. In order to check the accuracy of the present FE analysis we compared the results of our FE solutions with the result of the collapse of spherical bubbles in a large body of fluid in which solutions can be obtained using a 1D FE analysis. It has been found that 1D and 2D bubble deformations are in good agreement for spherically symmetric problems confirming the validity of the numerical code. Non-spherically symmetric problems were also solved for the collapse of bubble located near a plane solid wall. We have shown that a microjet develops at the bubble boundary away from the wall as already observed experimentally. We have discussed the effect of Reynolds number and distance of the bubble center from the wall on the transient collapse pattern of bubble.

터널 굴착으로 인한 지반의 거동 분석은 대변형 영역의 거동을 고려해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TBM 터널 굴착으로 인한 주변 지반에 대한 영향을 실제 현장 조건과 동일 조건에서 분석하기 위하여 대변형 유한요소 해석을 수행하였다. 지반의 대변형 거동을 모사하고 예측함에 있어 가장 널리 활용되는 두 가지 해석 기법 - coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL)과 auto-remeshing (AR) 기법 - 을 적용하여 TBM 굴착 과정을 모사하였고 그에 따른 주변 지반에 발생하는 손상영역의 범위를 예측하였다. 굴착손상영역의 범위는 두 기법을 통해 도출된 결과와 굴착손상영역을 정의하는 실험적인 기준을 종합하여 추정하였다. 해석 결과, 두 대변형 해석 기법을 이용하여 도출된 굴착손상영역은 서로 비슷한 크기로 수렴하였고, 기존 연구의 실험 및 계측을 통해 확인된 굴착손상영역 크기와 모양, 경향과도 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 굴착 되는 지반의 RMR 등급이 좋을수록 굴착손상영역의 크기는 더 커지고, 터널의 직경과는 정비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 터널의 심도가 깊을수록 지반의 구속압이 커져서 굴착손상영역은 상대적으로 작게 형성되는 것으로 확인되었다.

This paper focuses on the investigation of three-dimensional (3D) warping effect on the stiffness constants of composite beams with closed section profiles. A finite element (FE) cross-sectional analysis is developed based on the Reissner's multifield variational principle. The 3D in-plane and out-of-plane warping displacements, and sectional stresses are approximated as linear functions of generalized sectional stress resultants at the global level and as FE shape functions at the local sectional level. The classical elastic couplings are taken into account which include transverse shear and Poisson deformation effects. A generalized Timoshenko level $6{\times}6$ stiffness matrix is computed for closed section composite beams with and without warping. The effect of neglecting the 3D warping on stiffness constants is shown to be significant indicating large errors as high as 93.3%.

The significance of the casting/forging process for reducing the production cost of large components is being noted in these days. This casting/forging process is a method of forging a workpiece preformed by casting into the final shape. In this study, the casting/forging process has been applied in manufacturing a large aluminum flange in order to reduce press capacity and material cost. Firstly, a hot compression test was performed with cast cylindrical billets in order to determine the optimum forging condition of the aluminum flange. The optimum range of forging temperature of Al 5083 was from 420$\^{C}$ to 450$\^{C}$. The suitable strain rate was 1.5 sec(sup)-1. The deformation amount of a preform of a preform in a forging process is a key role in the mechanical properties of casting/forging products. In order to find the change of mechanical properties according to effective stain of cast aluminum billets, a hot upsetting test were performed with rectangular blocks and then a uniaxial tensile test was performed with specimens cut from the upsetted billets. The tensile strength and the elongation of cast/upsetted aluminum billets were increased largely until the effective strain was 0.7. FE analysis was performed to determine the configurations of case preform and die for an aluminum flange. In the FE analysis, the forging load-limit was fixed 1500ton for low equipment cost. The cast preform was designed so that the effective stain around the neck of a flange exceeded 0.7. From the result of FE analysis, optimal configurations of the cast preform and the die were designed for a large flange. The filling and solidification analysis for a sound cast-preform was carried out with MAGMA soft. In the forging experiment for an aluminum flange, it was confirmed that the optimal configuration of the cast preform predicted by FE analysis was very useful. The cast/forged products using designed preform were made perfectly without any defects.

Ultra-fine grained (UFG) Al alloys, which have submicron grain structures, are expected to show outstanding high strength at ambient temperature and excellent superplastic deformation at elevated temperatures and high strain rate. In order to get the UFG microstructure, various kind of severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes have been developed. Among these processes, accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process is a promising process to make bulky Al sheets with ultrafine grained structure continuously. The purpose of the present study is to clarify the grain refinement mechanism during the ARB process and to investigate on the effects of ultra-fine grained structure on the mechanical properties. In addition, UFG AA8011 alloy (Al-0.72wt%Fe-0.63wt%Si) manufactured by the ARB had fairly large tensile elongation, keeping on the strength. In order to clarify the reason for the increase of elongation in the UFG AA8011 alloy, detailed microstructural and crystallographic analysis was performed by TEM/Kikuchi-line and SEM/EBSP method. The unique tensile properties of the UFG AA8011 alloy could be explained by enhanced dynamic recovery at ambient temperature, owing to the large number of high angle boundaries and the Al matrix with high purity.
