Mechanical testing methods to determine the material constants for large deformation nonlinear finite element analysis were demonstrated for natural rubber. Uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear tests of rubber specimens are performed to achieve the stress-strain curves. The stress-strain curves are obtained after between 5 and 10 cycles to consider the Mullins effect. Mooney and Ogden strain-energy density functions, which are typical form of the hyperelastic material, are determined and compared with each other. The material constants using only uniaxial tension data are about 20% higher than those obtained by any other test data set. The experimental equations of shear elastic modulus on the hardness and maximum strain are presented using multiple regression method. Large deformation finite element analysis of automotive transmission mount using different material constants is performed and the load-displacement curves are compared with experiments. The selection of material constant in large deformation finite element analysis depend on the strain level of component in service.

This paper is to study the effect of longitudinal reinforcement ratios and axial deformation on the frame analysis in reinforced concrete(RC) columns and to investigate the effect of confined concrete core, the length-width ratio and longitudinal steel ratios on frame analysis in Concrete-Filled steel Tubular(CFT) columns. An equation if derived to evaluate the modulus of elasticity for core concrete. The 34 reference data have been collected for the purpose and are processed by the mean of a multiple regression analysis technique. The equation and longitudinal reinforcement ratios was applied to RC columns for structural analysis. Then, the difference of beam moment was identified. In general, the results of analysis was indicated reasonable differences in beam moment, in case of longitudinal reinforcement ratios applied to RC columns when compared with the plain concrete columns. In CFT columns the equation was also applied in order to the effect of confined concrete core on structural analysis. Beam moment was increased as volumetric ratio of lateral steel was decreased. The effect of longitudinal steel ratios was investigated in CFT columns and was confirmed beam moment variety. The result was appeared reasonable difference in beam moment as longitudinal steel was increased.

Concrete bond strength with steel re-bars depends on multiple factors including concrete-steel interface and mechanical properties of concrete. However, the hydration development of cementitious paste, and in turn the mechanical properties of concrete, are negatively affected by cold weather. This study aimed at exploring the concrete-steel bonding behavior in concrete cast and cured under freezing temperatures. Three concrete mixtures were cast and cured at -10 and -20℃. The mixtures were protected using conventional insulation blankets and a hybrid system consisting of insulation blankets and phase change materials. The mixtures comprised General Use cement, fly ash (20%), nano-silica (6%) and calcium nitrate-nitrite as a cold weather admixture system. The mixtures were tested in terms of internal temperature, compressive, tensile strengths, and modulus of elasticity. In addition, the bond strength between concrete and steel re-bars were evaluated by a pull-out test, while the quality of the interface between concrete and steel was assessed by thermal and microscopy studies. In addition, the internal heat evolution and force-slip relationship were modeled based on energy conservation and stress-strain relationships, respectively using three-dimensional (3D) finite-element software. The results showed the reliability of the proposed models to accurately predict concrete heat evolution as well as bond strength relative to experimental data. The hybrid protection system and nano-modified concrete mixtures produced good quality concrete-steel interface with adequate bond strength, without need for heating operations before casting and during curing under freezing temperatures down to -20℃.

Among artificial intelligence-based computational techniques, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) are particularly suitable for modelling complex systems with known input-output data sets. Such systems can be efficient in modelling non-linear, complex and ambiguous behaviour of cement-based materials undergoing single, dual or multiple damage factors of different forms (chemical, physical and structural). Due to the well-known complexity of sulfate attack on cement-based materials, the current work investigates the use of ANFIS to model the behaviour of a wide range of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixture designs under various high-concentration sodium sulfate exposure regimes including full immersion, wetting-drying, partial immersion, freezing-thawing, and cyclic cold-hot conditions with or without sustained flexural loading. Three ANFIS models have been developed to predict the expansion, reduction in elastic dynamic modulus, and starting time of failure of the tested SCC specimens under the various high-concentration sodium sulfate exposure regimes. A fuzzy inference system was also developed to predict the level of aggression of environmental conditions associated with very severe sodium sulfate attack based on temperature, relative humidity and degree of wetting-drying. The results show that predictions of the ANFIS and fuzzy inference systems were rational and accurate, with errors not exceeding 5%. Sensitivity analyses showed that the trends of results given by the models had good agreement with actual experimental results and with thermal, mineralogical and micro-analytical studies.

차세대 이동통신 시스템은 고속의 멀티미디어 데이터의 신뢰성 있는 전송을 요구하고 다양한 전파환경에서 신뢰성 있는 음성, 데이터, 영상서비스 등의 다양한 서비스를 제공한다. 하지만 광대역 무선 접속을 지원하는 다중 접속 기술은 DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 시스템 성능을 저하시키는 심벌간 간섭(ISI) 혹은 다중접속간섭(MAI) 신호를 발생시킨다. 이러한 간섭 신호를 개선하기 위해 적응 블라인드 등화 방식을 사용하는데 적응 블라인드 등화 방식 중에서도 가장 많이 이용하는 Constant Modulus Algorithm(CMA)을 적절한 초기화 없이 사용하면 ill-convergence 현상이 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 채널의 효율을 높이기 위한 등화 방식으로 기존의 NCMA 알고리듬을 이용한 새로운 블라인드 등화 방식(Modified NCMA)을 제안하고, 이를 비동기 DS-CDMA 시스템의 다중 사용자 환경에서 컴퓨터 모의 실험 및 성능분석을 하였다. 제안한 등화 방식의 자승오차(SE : Squared Error)의 개선은 spreading gain 31과 127에 대해 cell 내의 사용자가 10명일 때 약 17dB 정도이고, 사용자가 15, 25명으로 증가시킴에 따라 자승오차의 개선은 각각 20dB, 15dB 정도로 전체 평균 자승오차는 약 17.3dB 정도로 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The effect of novel N-crotyl-N,N-dimethyl-4-methylanilinium hexafluroantimonate (CMH) curing agent on cure behavior and thermal properties of DGEBA epoxy cationic system was investigated. From DSC measurements of DGEBA/CMH system, it was shown that this system exhibits an excellent thermal latent characteristic in a given temperature and reveals complex cure behavior as indicated by multiple exotherms. The conversion and conversion rate of DGEBA/CMH system increased with increasing the concentration of initiator due to high activity of CMH. Viscoelastic properties during gel formation of DGEBA with CMH were investigated by rheological techniques under isothermal condition. The gel time obtained from the modulus crossover. point t(G')=G", was affected by high curing temperature and concentration of CMH, resulting in high degree of network formation in cationic polymerization. The thermal stabilities were discussed in terms of the activation energy for decomposition and thermal factors determined from TGA measurements.ents.

본 논문에서는 구조의 재료물성치와 기하학적 인수의 공간적 불확실성에 의한 구조 응답변화도 산정을 위한 정식화를 제안하였다. 정식화는 추계론적 유한요소해석의 해석법 중의 하나인 가중적분법을 기본으로 하였다. 해석 대상 구조는 전단변형을 포함하는 평판구조로서, 평판구조에 나타날 수 있는 불확실 인수로는 재료적 측면에서는 재료탄성계수와 포아송비가 있으며, 기하학적 인수로는 평판의 두께를 들 수 있다. 선형탄성 영역에서 선형성을 나타내는 재료탄성계수와는 달리 평판의 두께는 3차함수로 강성에 기여하고, 포아송비의 경우 분수의 형태로 강성에 기여하므로 직접적으로는 이를 추계론적 해석에 고려할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적합행렬내의 포아송비를 Taylor전개하여 사용하였다. 제안된 정식화에 의한 결과는 기존 연구결과는 물론 몬테카를로 해석에 의한 결과와도 비교하여 제안한 정식화를 검증하였다.

This study aimed to develop a method for the determination of the damaged story in reinforced concrete (RC) structure with ambient vibrations, based on modified jerk energy methodology. The damage was taken as a localized reduction in the stiffness of the structural member. For loading, random white noise excitation was used, and dynamic responses from the finite element model (FEM) of 4 story RC shear frame were extracted at nodal points. The data thus obtained from the structure was used in the damage detection and localization algorithm. In the structure, two damage configurations have been introduced. In the first configuration, damage to the structure was artificially caused by a local reduction in the modulus of elasticity. In the second configuration, the damage was caused, using the Elcentro1940 and Kashmir2005 earthquakes in real-time history. The damage was successfully detected if the frequency drop was greater than 5% and the mode shape correlation remained less than 0.8. The results of the damage were also compared to the performance criteria developed in the Seismostruct software. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm has effectively detected the existence of the damage and can locate the damaged story for multiple damage scenarios in the RC structure.

As electric vehicles (EV) have increasingly replaced the conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE), most of automotive makers are actively devoting to the technology development of EV parts. Accordingly, the manufacturing process for power source has been also shifting from engine/transmission to EV motor/reducer system. However, lack of experience in developing the EV motor still remains as a technical challenge. In this paper, we employed the forming simulation based on finite element modeling to solve this problem. In particular, in order to increase the accuracy of the forming simulation, we introduced the elastic-plastic constitutive model parameters for polymer-copper hybrid wire by investigating the individual strain-stress curves, and elastic modulus of polymer and copper. Then, the reliability of modeling procedure was confirmed by comparing the simulated results with experiments. Finally, the identified mechanical properties and finite element modeling were applied to a hairpin forming process, which involves multiple deformation paths such as bending, pressing, widening, and twisting. The proposed numerical approach can replace common experience or experiment based trials by reducing production time and cost in the future.

전기자동차 시장이 성장함에 따라 배터리 효율을 증가시키기 위해 차량 경량화 이슈가 대두되고 있다. 이에 전기자동차 배터리 모듈을 보호하는 배터리 모듈 커버를 기존 알루미늄 소재에서 알루미늄 대비 절반 수준의 무게를 가지는 고강도/고내열성 고분자 복합소재로 대체하고자 한다. 또한 복잡한 형상에 대한 제약이 없고, 다품종 소량생산에 유리한 3D 프린팅 기술을 접목하여 기술 변화가 빠른 초기 전기자동차 시장에 대응하고자 한다. 복합소재 역학에 기반하여 압출기를 통해 가공한 단섬유 GF(glass fiber)/PC(polycarbonate) 복합소재 내 유리섬유의 임계길이(critical length)가 453.87 ㎛임을 도출하였고, 사이드 피딩(side feeding) 방식의 가공법을 택함으로써 기존 365.87 ㎛이었던 잔류섬유길이를 향상시킴과 동시에 분산성을 향상시켰다. 이에 30 wt%의 GF가 함유된 GF/PC 복합소재로 인장강도(tensile strength) 135 MPa, 탄성계수(Young's modulus) 7.8 MPa의 최적의 물성을 구현하였다. 또한 3D 프린팅 필라멘트가 상용 필라멘트 규격인 두께 1.75 mm, 표준편차 0.05 mm를 만족하기 위해서 필라멘트 압출 조건(온도, 압출속도)을 최적화하였다. 제작된 필라멘트를 통해 기공률을 최소화하며 강도를 최대화하고, 동시에 생산성 향상을 위해 프린팅 속도를 최대화하는 다중 최적화 문제를 통해 3D 프린팅 공정조건(온도, 프린팅 속도)을 최적화하였고, 이로써 기존 상용화 되어있는 동일 소재 필라멘트 대비 인장강도 11%, 탄성계수 56%가 향상된 결과를 얻었으며, 출력물의 후처리(post-process)를 통해 후처리 전 대비 인장강도 5%, 탄성계수 18%를 추가로 향상시켰다. 끝으로 유한요소해석(finite element analysis, FEA) 기법을 활용하여 전기자동차 배터리 모듈 커버의 시험 규격(ISO-12405)의 Mechanical Shock test의 기준을 만족하도록 배터리 모듈 커버의 구조를 최적화하였고, 이로써 배터리 커버 시험규격을 만족하면서 동시에 알루미늄을 사용했을 때 대비 37%의 경량화를 달성하였다. 해당 연구 결과 및 연구 방법을 활용하여 향후 다양한 분야에 고분자 복합소재 3D 프린팅 기술이 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
