최근 도입된 지상 송신원 항공 전자탐사 시스템(grounded electrical-source airborne transient electromagnetic, GREATEM)은 신호가 강력하여 가탐심도 향상은 물론 잡음이 심한 지역에서도 적용 가능하다. 비록 GREATEM은 지상에 설치된 긴 전선을 송신원으로 사용하는 시간영역 전자탐사법이지만, 방대한 항공탐사 자료의 2차원 혹은 3차원 해석은 계산시간이 너무 많이 소요되어 실질적인 적용이 어렵기 때문에 GREATEM 탐사 자료는 주로 1차원 해석에 의존하고 있다. 일반적으로 방대한 항공 전자탐사 자료의 해석은 각 측점에서 얻어진 자료에 대한 1차원 역산 결과를 병합하여 전기비저항 2차원 단면을 작성하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 병합 단면은 전기비저항이 너무 급격하게 변하는 문제점을 보인다. 횡적 제한 역산법(laterally constrained inversion, LCI)은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 개발되었으며, 연속성이 뛰어난 역산 단면을 제공하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 우선 수치 모델링을 통하여 곡선 전류원에 대한 GREATEM 탐사 자료의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 GREATEM 탐사 자료에 대한 횡적 제한 역산법을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 각 측점에서 획득된 모든 1차원 자료와 층서 모델을 하나의 역산 시스템에 병합하여 처리하므로 수평적 연속성이 뛰어난 역산 단면을 제공하게 된다. 개발된 역산 알고리듬을 GREATEM 탐사 자료에 적용한 결과, 해당 지역의 층서를 효과적으로 반영하는 역산 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

Elastomeric O-ring seals are widely used in static and dynamic applications. A compressed and highly pressurized O-ring seal inserted under laterally one-sided constrained condition has been analyzed experimentally and numerically. The deformed shape and extrusion length of the O-ring under high pressure has been measured by the computed tomography. Through the comparison of experimental and FE results, the numerical analysis technique has been verified. Using verified FE method, the contact stress profiles at sealing surfaces have been investigated and their relevance to the 0-ring performance evaluated based on stress-related and displacement-related parameters. It has been found that the contact stress profiles and deformation behaviors of the seal are affected by friction coefficient, gap clearance, and pressure considerably.

Static or dynamic elastomeric O-ring seals are installed between joining parts, and play key roles of high pressure-tightening. Sealing performance and structural safety of the O-ring are dependent on groove design, plain diameter, squeeze and applications such as pressure and temperature. In this study, to solve O-ring problem squeezed and highly pressurized under laterally one-sided constrained condition, hyperelastic FE analyses are performed, and FE results are compared with measured ones by computer-aided tomography, deformed shape and extrusion depth of the O-ring. Through the comparisons, FE analysis technique was verified. In order to evaluate design sensitivity, Taguchi method was used to select FE analysis cases. Adjustment parameters are clearance gap, groove comer radius, plain diameter and squeeze. By means of verified FE analysis technique, it has been analysed how the parameters have effects on contact stress fields, internal stress fields, and extrusion depths. Sealing performance has been evaluated based on contact stress fields and contact widths, and structural safety on internal stress and strain, extrusion lengths.

Elastomeric O-rings have been the most common seals due to their excellent sealing capacity, and availability in costs and sizes. One of the critical applications of O-ring seals is solid rocket motor joint seal where the operating hot gas must be sealed during the combustion. This has long been a design issue to avoid the system failure. For laterally constrained, squeezed and pressurized condition, deformed shape of O-ring was measured by computed tomography method and CCD laser sensor, compared with numerical calculations. As clearance gap changes, sealing performance had been evaluated on peak contact stresses at top, bottom and side contact surfaces. As clearance gap increases, peak contact stresses and contact widths in top and side contact surfaces increase, and the asymmetry of stress distributions is promoted due to pressure increase. It is suggested that peak stress of bottom contact surface can be approximated by simple superposition of peak ones due to squeeze and pressure. Under pressurized condition, sealing performance is dependent on not peak stresses of bottom and side contact surfaces but that of top.

The main objective of the present paper is to address a formal procedure for orthotropic steel plates design. The theme of the proposed approach is to recast the design procedure into a mathematical programming model. The objective function to be optimized is the total weight of the structure. The total weight is function of its layout parameters and structural element design variables. Mean while the proposed approach takes into consideration the strength and rigidity criteria in addition to other dimensional constraints. A nonlinear programming model is developed which consists of a nonlinear objective function and a set of implicit/explicit nonlinear constraints. A transformation method is adopted for minimization strategy, where the primal model constrained problem is transformed into a sequence of unconstrained minimization models. The search strategy is based on the well-known Fletcher/Powell algorithm. The finite element technique is adopted for discretization and analysis strategies. Mindlin theory is selected to simulate the finite element model and a selective reduced integration scheme is exploited to avoid a shear lock problem.

Truss members built-up with double angles back-to-back have monosymmetric cross-section and twisting always accompanies flexion upon the onset of buckling about the axis of symmetry. Approximate formulae for calculating the buckling capacity are presented in this paper for routine design purpose. For a member susceptible only to flexural buckling, its optimal cross-section should consist of slender plate elements so as to get larger radius of gyration. But, occurrence of twisting changes the situation owing to the weakness of thin plates in resisting torsion. Criteria for limiting the leg slenderness are discussed herein. Truss web members in compression are usually considered as hinged at both ends for out-of-plane buckling. In case one (or both) end of member is not supported laterally by bracing member, its adjoining members have to provide an elastic support of adequate stiffness in order not to underdesign the member. The stiffness provided by either compression or tension chords in different cases is analyzed, and the effect of initial crookedness of compression chord is taken into account. Formulae are presented to compute the required stiffness of chord member and to determine the effective length factor for inadequately constrained compressive diagonals.
