Limit load of pressure bearing structures was reviewed in this article. By means of the finite element analysis, limit load of pressurized cylinder with nozzle was taken as an example. Stress classification method and Elastic-plastic finite element analysis combining with limit load determination methods were used to determine limit load of cylinder with nozzle. Comparison of limit load determined by different methods, the results indicated that limit load determined by linearization method was the smallest. Limit load determined by twice elastic slope criterion was the nearest than experimental results. Elastic-plastic finite element analysis had comparably computational precision, but required time consuming. And then the requirements of computer processing and storage capacity by power system became higher and higher. Most of criteria for limit load estimation included any human factors based on a certain substantive characteristics of experimental results. The reasonable criterion should be objective and operational.

The hyper-elastic material has been used gradually and its range was extended all over the industry. The performance prediction of hyper-elastic material was required not only experimental methods but also numerical methods. In this study, we presented the process how to use numerical method for hyper-elastic material and applied it to seat-ring of butterfly valve. The finite element analysis was executed to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of hyper-elastic material. And the optimum model considered conditions and features. According to that model, the load conditions were obtained by using CFD analysis.

Using hyper-elastic material has been increased gradually and its range was extended all over the industrial. In addition, the performance prediction of this material was required not only experimental methods like metal material but also numerical methods. In this study, we presented the process how to use numerical method for hyper-elastic material and then, it was applied for seat-ring of butterfly valve by using this process. The finite element analysis was executed to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of hyper-elastic material and search the optimum model considered conditions and features. According to that model the coefficient was obtained by using Contact analysis.

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 presents results of the effect of different bolt tightening sequences and methods on the performance of gasketed bolted flange joint using nonlinear finite element analysis. Bolt preload scatter due to elastic interactions, flange stress variation and bolt bending due to flange rotation and gasket contact stress variation is difficult to eliminate in torque control method i.e. tightening one bolt at a time. Although stretch control method (tightening more than one bolt at time) eradicates the bolt preload scatter, flange stress variation is relatively high. Flange joint's performance is compared to establish relative merits and demerits of both the methods and different bolt tightening sequences.

The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic behavior of elastic beams subjected to moving loads. Although analytical methods are available, they have limitations with respect to complicated structures. The use of computer technology in recent years is an effective way to solve the problem; thus using the latest technology this study establishes a finite-element solution procedure to investigate dynamic behaviors of a typical elastic beam having a set of constant geometric properties and various span lengths. Both the dead load of the beam and traffic load are applied in which the traffic load is considered a concentrated moving force with various traveling passage speeds on the beam. Dynamic behaviors including deflection, shear, and bending moment due to moving loads are obtained by both analytical and finite element methods; for simple structures, they have an excellent agreement. The numerical results show that based on analytical methods the fundamental mode is good enough to estimate the dynamic deflection along the beam, but is not sufficient to simulate the total response of the shear force or the bending moment. The linear dynamic behavior of the elastic beams subjected to multiple exciting loads can easily be found by linear superposition, and the geometric nonlinear results caused by large deformation and axial force of the beam are always underestimated with only a few exceptions which are indicated. In order to make the results useful, they have been nondimensionalized and presented in graphical form.

The offshore installation units may be subjected to various accidental loads such as collision from supply vessels, impact from dropped objects, blast load from gas explosion and thermal load from fire. This paper deals with the design and strength evaluation method of the stiffened plate structures in response to a blast load caused by a gas explosion accident. It is a comprehensive review of various items used in actual project such as the size and type of the explosive loads, general design procedure/concept and analysis method. The structural analyses using simple analysis methods based on SDOF model and nonlinear finite element analysis are applied to the particular FPSO project. Also validation studies on the design guidance given by simple analysis method based on SDOF model have also considered several items such as backpressure effects, material behavior and duration time of the overpressure. A good correlation between the prediction made by simple analysis method based on SDOF model and nonlinear finite element analysis can be generally obtained up to the elastic limit.

This paper presents several modeling methods to analyze the stub-girder system, testifies those methods base on actual test results for the behavior of the simply supported stub-girder system, and finally, by changing the boundary conditions in those models, predicts the behavior of the fixed end stub-girder system. Two different methods are used for the structural modeling. In the first method, the stub-girder is modeled as a vierendeel truss girder, and in the second method, as a finite element model. Both methods use the finite element analysis software package LUSAS™ for linearly elastic analyses and nonlinear analyses.

이 논문에서는 다층탄성해석과 유한요소법을 사용하여 도로설계를 위한 도로내 주요 변형률을 계산하여 유사한 결과치를 양산하는 경우를 비교 분석하였다. 비록 유한요소법이 보다 나은 모델이라는 것이 입증되긴 했지만, 다층탄성해석 프로그램이 간편성으로 인해 여전히 도로설계를 위해 많이 사용되어 지고 있으므로 다층탄성해석 프로그램을 사용한 주요 변형률의 예측이 시급한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 KENLAYER프로그램을 사용하여, 비선형 이방성 기층거동을 고려한 유한요소법을 사용했을 때 얻어지는 도로내 주요 변형을 예측할 수 있는 분석기법이 소개된다.

비선형 말뚝두부강성을 고려한 3차원 군말뚝기초 해석기법(YSGroup)을 개발하였으며 이를 기타 해석기법들(탄성 변위법, Croup 6.0, FBPier 3.0)과 비교${\cdot}$분석하였다. 본 해석기법은 말뚝캡을 평면쉘요소로, 교각은 3차원 보요소로, 그리고 개개 말뚝들은 보-기둥요소로 모델링 하였다. 교각 상단에 수평하중을 받는 $2\times2$배열 군말뚝기초에서 지반을 선형으로 가정한 경우를 대상으로 탄성변위법, Group 6.0, FBPier 3.0, 그리고 본 해석기법(YSGroup)을 이용하여 해석한 결과, 본 해석기법과 탄성변위법, Group 6.0은 서로 유사한 말뚝두부변위가 산정되었으나 FBPier 3.0는 다소 큰변위가 산정되었다. 지반의 비선형성이 고려된 상부구조물(교각)의 변위는 본 해석기법(YSGroup)과 FBPier 3.0을 통해 산정 가능하였는데, 이는 본 해석기법과 FBPier 3.0은 유한요소법을 이용하여 상부구조물을 직접 모델링하였기 때문이다. 말뚝두부조건이 힌지조건인 경우의 군말뚝은 말뚝캡의 과다한 회전이 발생할 가능성이 큼을 알 수 있었다.
