The numerical investigation of obliquely incident wave interactions with fully submerged dual buoy/porous-membrane floating breakwaters placed in parallel with spacing is studied based on linear potential theory and Darcy's law. The numerical solutions are obtained by using a discrete-membrane dynamic model and second-kind modified Bessel function distribution over the entire boundaries of fluid regions. First, numerical solutions for an idealized dual submerged system without buoys are obtained. Second, a more practical dual submerged system with membrane tension provided by buoys at its tops is investigated by the multi-domain boundary element method particularly devised for dual buoy/porous-membrane problems with gaps. The velocity potentials of wave motion are coupled with porous-membrane deformation, and solved simultaneously since the boundary condition on porous-membrane is not known in advance. The effects of varying permeability on membranes and wave characteristics are discussed for the optimum design parameters of systems previously studied. The inclusion of permeability on membrane eliminates the resonances that aggravate the breakwater performance. The system is highly efficient when waves generated by the buoys and membranes were mutually canceled and its energy at resonance frequency dissipates through fine pores on membranes.

The postbuckling behavior of laminated composite plates and shells, subjected to various shear loadings, is presented, using a modified 8-ANS method. The finite element, based on a modified first-order shear deformation theory, is further improved by the combined use of assumed natural strain method. We analyze the influence of the shell element with the various location and number of enhanced membrane and shear interpolation. Using the assumed natural strain method with proper interpolation functions, the present shell element generates neither membrane nor shear locking behavior even when full integration is used in the formulation. The effects of various types of lay-ups, materials and number of layers on initial buckling and postbuckling response of the laminated composite plates and shells for various shear loading have been discussed. In addition, the effect of direction of shear load on the postbuckling behavior is studied. Numerical results and comparisons of the present results with those found in the literature for typical benchmark problems involving symmetric cross-ply laminated composites are found to be excellent and show the validity of the developed finite element model. The study is relevant to the simulation of barrels, pipes, wing surfaces, aircrafts, rockets and missile structures subjected to intense complex loading.

막구조의 설계에서 막재료의 효율적인 사용을 위해서는 측지선에 의한 재단도 해석을 수행해야 한다. 막구조의 측지선 결정방법은 크게 측지요소(geodesic element)를 이용한 비선형 형상해석에 의한 방법과 임의의 곡면 형상에 대한 측지선 탐색에 의한 방법으로 나눌 수 있는데, 현재까지 이 두 가지 해석법은 모두 3절점요소에 대한 적용알고리즘 만이 제시되었고, 4절점 요소에 대한 해석법은 제시되지 않았다. 이는 막구조의 설계에서 4절점 요소의 적용을 어렵게 하는 가장 큰 요인이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 3절점, 4절점 평면요소에 동시에 적용 가능한 측지선 결정알고리즘을 제시한다. 이를 위해 저자의 이전 연구를 발전시켜 명시적 비선형 해석법인 동적이완법을 비선형 측지선 형상해석에 적용하였다. 또한 3절점요소 뿐만 아니라 4절점요소에 대해서도 측지요소의 도입에 의한 형상해석이 가능하도록 하였으며, 4절점요소와 측지선요소에 의한 비선형 형상해석 및 재단도 해석예제를 통하여 본 연구에서 제시한 알고리즘의 정확성 및 효율성을 검증하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 측지선 형상해석알고리즘은 형상해석, 응력해석, 재단도 해석과 관련된 일련의 해석과정에 대한 4절점요소의 적용성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The focus of this paper is on the numerical investigation of obliquely incident wav interactions with a system composed of fully submerged and floating dual buoy/vertical-flexible-membrane breakwaters placed in parallel with spacing between two systems. The fully submerged two systems allow surface and bottom gaps to enable wave transmission over and under the system. The problem is formulated based on the two-dimensional multi-domain hydro-elastic linear wave-body interaction theory. The hydrodynamic interaction of oblique incident waves with the combination of the rigid and flexible bodies was solved by the distribution of the simple sources (modified Bessel function of the second kind) that satisfy the Helmholz governing equation in fluid domains. A boundary element program for three fluid domains based on a discrete membrane dynamic model and simple source distribution method is developed. Using this developed computer program, the performance of various dual systems varying buoy radiuses and drafts, membrane lengths, gaps, spacing, mooring-lines stiffness, mooring types, water depth, and wave characteristics is thoroughly examined. It is found that the fully submerged and floating dual buoy/membrane breakwaters can, if it is properly tuned to the coming waves, have good performances in reflecting the obliquely incident waves over a wide range of wave frequency and headings.

최근 안정성 및 경제성 측면에서 완전방호식 LNG 저장탱크(full-containment LNG storage tank)의 대안으로 검토되고 있는 멤브레인 LNG 저장탱크(membrane LNG storage tank)에 대해서 정량적 위험성 평가 방법(QRA; Quantitative Risk Analysis)과 유한요소해석법(FEM; Finite Element Method)을 통하여 안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석법(FEM)을 통한 구조안전성 평가에서 140,000 $m^3$ 저장용량을 갖는 LNG 저장탱크의 두 가지 모델은 저장탱크 시스템에 대한 강도 안전성과 누출 안전성 측면에서 해석한 결과에 의하면 모두 안전한 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 고장수목분석(FTA; Fault Tree Analysis)을 통하여 멤브레인 LNG 저장탱크에 안전성을 강화하기 위해 설계 초기모델에 안전장치로서 멤브레인 바닥부의 충격흡수장치(impact absorber structure), 1차 멤브레인 저장 파손 시 콘크리트 외부탱크(outer tank) 코너부(corner part)의 열충격(thermal stress)을 감소시킬 수 있는 열보호장지(secondary barrier) 및 펌프 낙하 시 안전장치로서 펌프캐쳐(pump catcher)를 보완하고 평가하였다. 결론적으로 개선된 멤브레인 LNG 저장탱크는 안전성 측면에서 완전방호식 LNG 저장탱크와 대등하다는 결론을 도출할 수 있었다.

Mechanical behavior of a fuel stack was studied by the orthotropic material model. The fuel stack is mainly composed of bipolar plate (BP), gasket, end plate, membrane electrolyte assembly (MEA), and gas diffusion layer (GDL). Each component is fastened with a suitable pressure. It is very important to maintain a suitable contact pressure of BP, because it affects the efficiency of the fuel cell. This study compared mechanical behavior of various fastening types of the fuel cell stack. Bar, band, and modified band fastening type are used. The band fastening type showed that it reduces total volume of the cell, but it does not improve the contact pressure distribution of each BP. The modified band fastening type was designed by considering the deformations of band fastening type, and it showed a good enhancement of contact pressure distribution.

Design optimization is performed to calculated the draw-bead force for satisfying the design re-quirements. For an analysis tool a rigid-plastic finite element method with modified membrane element is adopted. response surface methodology is utilized for constructing the approximation surface for the optimum searching of draw bead force in sheet metal forming process. the algorithm developed is ap-plied to a design of the draw bead forces in a deep drawing process. The results show that the design of process parameters is applicable in complex metal forming analysis. It is also noted that the present algo-rithm enhances the stable optimum solution with small times of optimization iteration.

In a polymer membrane fuel cell stack, the bipolar plate is a key element because it accounts for over 50% of total costs of the stack. In order to lower the cost of bipolar plates, 316L stainless steels coated with nitrides such as TiN and CrN by physical vapor deposition were investigated as alternative materials for the replacement of traditional brittle graphite bipolar-plates. For this purpose, interfacial contact resistances were measured and electrochemical corrosion tests were conducted. The results showed that although both TiN and CrN coatings decreased the interfacial contact resistances to less than $10m{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, they did not significantly improve the corrosion resistance in simulated polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell environments. A CrN coating on 316L stainless steel showed better corrosion resistance than a TiN coating did, indicating the possibility of using modified CrN coated metallic bipolar plates to replace graphite bipolar plates.
