In an ultrasonic motor, a piezoelectric ceramic material forms the active element which vibrates the stator, thus initiating the rotational motion. In the operation of ultrasonic motors, many factors exist that can affect the resonance characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramic component. For examples, these factors are the bonding conditions with the piezoelectric element, the magnitude of the input voltage, the normal force in the frictional drive and the emission of heat due to vibration and friction etc. Therefore, it is important to research properly the inclination for variation of piezoelectric ceramics in the circumstance where complex elements are involved. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of the resonance characteristics of an ultrasonic motor as a function of the magnitude of the input voltage and the normal force.

In this paper, we prove that every exchange ring can be characterized by potent elements. Also we extend [10, Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 4.1] to quasi-clean rings in which every element is a sum of a potent element and a unit.

Discrete element analysis is used to map various log-normal particle size distributions into measures of the in-sphere pore size distribution. Combinations evaluated range from monosized spheres to include bimodal mixtures and various log-normal distributions. The latter proves most useful in providing a mapping of one distribution into the other (knowing the particle size distribution we want to predict the pore size distribution). Such metrics show predictions where the presence of large pores is anticipated that need to be avoided to ensure high sintered properties.

It is well known that one could use a fixed loxodromic or parabolic element of a non-elementary group $G{\subset}M(\bar{\mathbb{R}}^n)$ as a test map to test the discreteness of G. In this paper, we show that a test map need not be in G. We also construct an example to show that the similar result using an elliptic element as a test map does not hold.

국내에서 노멀전기검층은 지반조사, 지하수 환경조사, 지열조사, 지질조사, 광물자원 평가 등의 다양한 분야에서 널리 이용되고 있다. 노멀전기검층은 지표 전기비저항탐사법과는 달리 완전공간에 대한 자료를 취득하기 때문에 지표부근에 수위가 위치하는 시추공에서 자료를 취득하는 경우, 수위 및 지표에 대한 영향을 고려해야 한다. 이 연구는 노멀전기검층 존데, 전류리턴전극, 기준점전위전극, 시추공내 지하수위 등을 포함하는 실제 물리검층 환경과 동일한 조건에서 노멀전기검층을 시물레이션하여 지표 및 지하수 수위가 노멀전기검층에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치 모델링은 2차원 목표지향 자기적응 고차 hp 유한요소법(2D goal-oriented high-order self-adaptive hp finite element method)을 이용하였다(여기서 h는 요소의 크기, p는 노드에서의 근사 차수). 이 알고리듬을 이용하여 측정한 겉보기비저항의 오차가 1%보다 작도록 계산할 수 있는 최적 hp 격자를 구성함으로써 매우 정밀한 결과를 얻었다. 수치실험결과, 지표부근에서 취득한 노멀전기검층 자료는 기준점전위전극이 시추공에 가까울수록 자료의 왜곡이 증가하며 장노멀전기검층에서의 왜곡이 단노멀전기검층에서 보다 심함을 알 수 있었다.

The explicit scheme for finite element analysis of sheet metal forming problems has been widely used for providing practical solutions since it improves the convergency problem, memory size and computational time especially for the case of complicated geometry and large element number. The explicit schemes in general use are based on the elastic-plastic modelling of material requiring large computation time. In the present work, rigid-plastic explicit finite element method is introduced for analysis of sheet metal forming processes in which plane strain normal anisotropy condition can be assumed by dividing the whole piece into sections. The explicit scheme is in good agreement with the implicit scheme for numerical analysis and experimental results of auto-body panels. The proposed rigid-plastic explicit finite element method can be used as robust and efficient computational method for prediction of defects and forming severity.

In this paper, we propose a new mixed finite element method, called the characteristics-mixed method, for approximating the solution to Burgers' equation. This method is based upon a space-time variational form of Burgers' equation. The hyperbolic part of the equation is approximated along the characteristics in time and the diffusion part is approximated by a mixed finite element method of lowest order. The scheme is locally conservative since fluid is transported along the approximate characteristics on the discrete level and the test function can be piecewise constant. Our analysis show the new method approximate the scalar unknown and the vector flux optimally and simultaneously. We also show this scheme has much smaller time-truncation errors than those of standard methods. Numerical example is presented to show that the new scheme is easily implemented, shocks and boundary layers are handled with almost no oscillations. One of the contributions of the paper is to show how the optimal error estimates in $L^2(\Omega)$ are obtained which are much more difficult than in the standard finite element methods. These results seem to be new in the literature of finite element methods.

This paper presents a newly suggested calculation method in which an arbitrary quadrilateral element with curved sides is transformed to a normal rectangular one by mapping of coordinates, then the two-dimensional spline is adopted to approach the displacement function of this element. Finally the solution can be obtained by the least-energy principle. Thereby, the application field of Spline Finite Element Method will be extended.

본 연구에서는 지하암반구조물의 구조해석시 불연속암반체의 물성변이를 고려할 수 있는 확률론적 해석기법을 개발하였다. 수치해석적 접근은 몬테칼로모사기법의 단점을 보완한 LHS기법을 사용하였고, 불연속면의 영향은 단층, 벽개 등과 같이 불연속성이 뚜렷한 지역에서 적용성이 높은 절리유한요소모델을 사용하였다. 재료특성에 대한 확률변수는 불연속면의 수직강성과 전단강성을 다확률변수로 사용하였으며, 이들은 확률공간에서 정규분포를 갖는 경우에 대하여 고려하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 수치해석프로그램은 검증예제를 통하여 타당성을 확인하였으며, 가상의 불연속면군이 존재하는 지하원형공동에 대한 해석을 통하여 프로그램의 적용성을 확인하였다.

In this paper we consider finite element mathods for nonlinear parabolic problems defined in ${\Omega}{\subset}R^d$ ($d{\leq}4$). A new initial approximation is taken. Optimal order error estimates in $L_p$ for $2{\leq}p{\leq}{\infty}$ are established for arbitrary order finite element. One order superconvergence in $W^{1,p}$ for $2{\leq}q{\leq}{\infty}$ are demonstrated as well.
