Mechanical behavior in nano-sized structures differs from those in macro sized structures due to surface effect. As the ratio of surface to volume increases, surface effect is not negligible and causes size-dependent mechanical behavior. In order to identify this size effect, atomistic simulations are required; however, it has many limitations because too much computational resource and time are needed. To overcome the restrictions of the atomistic simulations and graft the well-established continuum theories, the continuum model considering surface effect, which is based on the bridging technique between atomistic and continuum simulations, is introduced. Because it reflects the size effect, it is possible to carry out a variety of analysis which is intractable in the atomistic simulations. As a part of the application examples, the homogenization method is applied to micro/nano thin films with porosity and the homogenized elastic coefficients of the nano scale thickness porous films are computed in this paper.

This paper examined the stability of high-dense dislocation substructures (HDDSs) associated with martensite laths in High Cr steels supposed to be used for FBR, based on a series of dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations. The DD simulations considered interactions of dislocations with impurity atoms and precipitates which substantially stabilize the structure. For simulating the dissociation processes, a point defect model is developed and implemented into a discrete DD code. Wall structure composed of high dense dislocations with and without small precipitates were artificially constructed in a simulation cell, and the stability/instability conditions of the walls were systematically investigated in the light of experimentally observed coarsening behavior of the precipitates, i.e., stress dependency of the coarsening rate and the effect of external stress. The effect of stress-dependent coarsening of the precipitates together with application of external stress on the subsequent behavior of initially stabilized dislocation structures was examined.

In this paper, data-driven modeling and multiresolution analysis (MRA) are applied for a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The proposed method is based on modeling by partial least squares (PLS) and multiscale monitoring by a generic dissimilarity measure (GDM), which is suitable for nonstationary and non-normal process monitoring such as a biological process. Case study in an industrial plant showed that the PLS model could give good modeling performance and analyze the dynamics of a complex plant and MRA was useful to detect and isolate various faults due to its multiscale nature. The proposed method enables us to show the underlying phenomena as well as to filter out unwanted and disturbing phenomena.

In this study, two extreme cases of compatibility of the horizontal displacements between the foundation and soil are considered, for which the pressure and settlements of the isolated footings and member end actions in structural elements are obtained using the three dimensional models and numerical experiments. The first case considered is complete slip between foundation and soil, termed as the un-coupled analysis. In the second case of analysis, termed as the coupled analysis, complete welding is assumed of joints between the foundation and soil elements. The model and the corresponding computer program developed simulate these two extreme states of compatibility giving insight into the variation of horizontal displacements and horizontal stresses and their intricacies, for evaluation of the influence of using the interface elements in soil-structure interaction analysis of three dimensional multiscale structures supported by isolated footings.

다상 유체 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 다중스케일 입자 시뮬레이션 기법을 개발하였다. 거시 모델과 미시모델이 만나는 경계영역에서 세가지로 구별되는 기능을 수행하도록 하였다. 먼저, 기상과 액상을 분리하여 연결하기 위해 벽을 설정하였다. 또 경계영역을 근처에서 경계의 위치를 측정하고 이것에 벽의 각도와 위치가 연동하여 접촉각 값을 미시모델에서 거시모델로 전달하게 하였다. 마지막으로, 입자의 삽입과 제거를 통해 경계영역의 질량과 온도를 거시적 조건에 맞추도록 하였다. 이 알고리즘들을 적용한 완전습윤과 부분습윤시스템들은 좋은 결합 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 3차원 직교 직물 복합재료의 구성성분인 얀(Yarn)의 기하학적인 형상을 고려하여 직접수치모사(DNS) 모델을 개발하고 이를 이용하여 직교 직물 복합재료 평판의 저속충격 현상을 모사하였다. 미시구조를 보다 상세하고 정확하게 고려하기 위하여 토우 간격과 굴곡 등을 고려한 단위 구조를 제시하고 이를 이용하여 DNS 기반의 평판모델을 구현하였다. 정적 가상 실험을 통하여 얻은 DNS 모델의 거시적 등가 물성치를 바탕으로 한 거시기계학적 해석과의 비교하였고, DNS 모델을 이용하여 기존의 거시기계학적 모델에서 구현이 어려운 기하학적인 형상 차이에 따른 저속충격 현상의 영향을 고찰하였다. 그리고 보다 실제 실험에 가까운 가상 시편의 크기를 고려하고 해석의 효율성을 높이기 위하여 DNS개념에 기반한 멀티스케일 모델을 개발하여 거시/미시 해석 결과 특성을 함께 고찰하였다.

본 연구는 차세대 에너지원으로 주목 받고 있는 직접메탄올연료전지(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, DMFC)에 대해 mutiscale 기법을 사용하여 DMFC의 MEA부분에 대한 상세 모델링 및 전산모사를 통한 이론적 고찰을 시도하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 multiscale 모델링 방법은 공정시스템 공학의 kinetic 중심의 모델링 방법과 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD)의 유동중심의 모델링 방법을 유기적으로 결합하여 모사 중간에 필요한 데이터 교환을 함으로써 정확한 모델링 및 전산모사 결과를 얻었다. CFD 모델링으로 유체 이동현상을 3차원으로 해석하였고, 동시에 복잡한 비선형 대수방정식으로 표현되는 반응속도, 전기화학반응을 DAE (Differential & Algebraic Equation) solver로 계산하였다. 모델은 메탄올의 산화반응과 산소의 환원반응을 중심으로 MEA (Membrane Electorde Assembly)부분에서 물리화학적, 전기적 현상 현상을 규명하고, 반응 메커니즘을 구성하였다. MEA 모델은 3차원 공간에서 변위를 가지는 3차원 모델로 구성하였으며, 정상상태 및 등온공정의 조건하에 수립되었다. 이를 통해 channel을 포함한 MEA 부분에서 발생되는 물리적, 화학적, 전기적 현상을 정확히 예측 할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 수행된 결과는 DMFC의 실험계획 및 운전조건을 도출함에 있어 매우 유용한 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 사료되며, 추가적인 연구를 통해 DMFC의 상용화에 크게 이바지 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

We propose a new multiscale Galerkin method based on interpolation wavelets for two-dimensional Poisson's and plane elasticity problems. The major contributions of the present work are: 1) full multiresolution numerical analysis is carried out, 2) general boundaries are handled by a fictitious domain method without using a penalty term or the Lagrange multiplier, 3) no special integration rule is necessary unlike in the (bi-)orthogonal wavelet-based methods, and 4) an efficient adaptive scheme is easy to incorporate. Several benchmark-type problems are considered to show the effectiveness and the potentials of the present approach. is 1-2m/s and impact deformation of the electrode depends on the strain rate at that velocity, the dynamic behavior of the sinter-forged Cu-Cr is a key to investigate the impact characteristics of the electrodes. The dynamic response of the material at the high strain rate is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test using disc-type specimens. Experimental results from both quasi-static and dynamic compressive tests are Interpolated to construct the Johnson-Cook model as the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulation of the dynamic behavior of the electrodes. The impact characteristics of a vacuum interrupter are investigated with computer simulations by changing the value of five parameters such as the initial velocity of a movable electrode, the added mass of a movable electrode, the wipe spring constant, initial offset of a wipe spring and the virtual fixed spring constant.

This study illustrates the differences between the elasto-plastic cap model and Lade's model with Cosserat rotation through the analyses of two large-scale geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall tests that were brought to failure using a monotonically increasing surcharge pressure. The finite element analyses with Lade's model were able to reasonably simulate the large-scale plane strain laboratory tests. On average, the finite element analyses gave reasonably good agreement with the experimental results in terms of global performances and shear band occurrences. In contrast, the cap model was not able to simulate the development of shear banding in the tests. In both test simulations the cap model predicted failure loads that were substantially less than the measured ones.
