A series of three-dimensional numerical modelling have been conducted to clarify the behaviour of multi-pressurised soil nails with high strength steel pipes. In this study, the soil non-linearity, the soil-nail interaction and staged construction are considered. It has been found that pressurised soil nails can reduce lateral ground movement by 14-21% compared to general soil nails with very low pressure. In addition, ground settlement was reduced when using multi-pressurised soil nails. The pressurised soil nail may result in an increase in the surcharge loading on the ground surface.

Structural health monitoring and damage detection are essential for assessing, maintaining, and rehabilitating structures. Most of the existing damage detection approaches compare the current state structural response with the undamaged vibrational structural response, which is unsuitable for old and existing structures where undamaged vibrational responses are absent. One of the approaches for existing structures, numerical model updating/inverse modelling, available in the literature, is limited to numerical studies with high-end software. In this study, an attempt is made to study the effectiveness of the model updating technique, simplify modelling complexity, and economize its usability. The optimization-based detection problem is addressed by using programmable open-sourced code, OpenSees^® and a derivative-free optimization code, NOMAD^®. Modal analysis is used for damage identification of beam-like structures with several damage scenarios. The performance of the proposed methodology is validated both numerically and experimentally. The proposed method performs satisfactorily in identifying both locations and intensity of damage in structures.

상변화 물질을 취급하는 수치해석에서는 온도, 압력, 체적, 엔탈피, 엔트로피 등의 열역학적 성질들의 수치값이 필요하다. 그러나 열역학적 성질들은 증기표나 선도 등의 형태로 주어지기 때문에 그대로 이용할 수는 없고 모델링하여 사용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 2차 스플라인 보간법과 비교함으로써, 과열증기의 모델링에 신경회로망의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 신경회로망은 온도와 압력, 2개의 입력에 대하여 비체적, 엔탈피 및 엔트로피, 3개의 출력을 얻을 수 있도록 입력층, 은닉층 및 출력층으로 구성되었다. 스플라인 보간법은 2차 다항식을 사용하였으며, 주어진 압력에 대한 소구간의 온도에 적용하였다. 신경회로망 모델링은 많은 출력 범위에서 2차 스플라인 보간법보다 우수한 백분율 오차를 보였으며, 이 결과로부터 과열증기 모델링에 신경회로망이 아주 강력한 방법임을 확인하였다.

열장치의 열성능 평가를 위한 수치 해석에서는 온도, 압력, 체적, 엔탈피, 엔트로피 등의 열 역학적 성질들의 수치 값이 필요하다. 그러나 열역학적 성질들 사이의 관계를 나타내는 증기표는 그대로 이용할 수는 없기 때문에 모델링하여 사용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 스플라인 보간법과 비교함으로써, 습포화증기의 모델링에 신경회로망의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 다층신경 회로망을 구성하기 위하여 입력층으로 온도에 대한 1개의 노드, 두 개의 은닉층은 각각 10개와 20개의 노드, 출력층은 포화액과 건포화증기에 대한 비체적, 엔탈피, 엔트로피 등의 6개의 노드로 구성하였으며, 스플라인 보간법은 2차 다항식과 3차 다항식을 사용하였다. 소구간으로 구성 된 스플라인 보간법과 비교하여 신경회로망 모델링은 비슷한 백분율 오차를 보여주었으며, 이 결과로부터 넓은 온도 범위의 증기표 모델링에 신경회로망이 아주 강력한 방법임을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 화강풍화토 지반상 unpropped diaphragm wall의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 과재하중의 이격거리를 변화시키면서 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 원심모형실험시 지반굴착은 흙과 동일한 밀도로 혼합된 zinc chloride 용액이 배수되도록 밸브를 조작하여 실시하였으며, 굴착에 따라 발생하는 지반의 변형과 벽체의 변위 및 휨모멘트를 측정하였다. 수치해석은 대부분의 지반공학 문제에 적용할 수 있는 FLAC 프로그램을 이용하였다. 수치해석에서 모형지반은 Mohr-Coulomb 모델, diaphragm wall은 탄성모델을 사용하여 2차원 평면변형률 조건으로 해석을 수행하였다. 모형실험 결과 파괴면의 직선적인 형태로 파괴면내의 배면측 지반은 벽체를 향하여 하향의 변위를 일으키면서 벽체의 회전에 의해 파괴되었으며, 파괴면의 각도는 67∼74$^{\circ}$정도로 이론적인 파괴면의 각도보다 크게 평가되었다. 실험 및 해석 결과 지반의 최대침하량이 발생하는 위치는 잘 일치하였으며, 깊이에 따른 벽체변위는 선형적인 관계를 나타내었다.

Aluminium Foam Sandwich (AFS) panels are becoming always more attractive in transportation applications thanks to the excellent combination of mechanical properties, high strength and stiffness, with functional ones, thermo-acoustic isolation and vibration damping. These properties strongly depend on the density of the foam, the morphology of the pores, the type (open or closed cells) and the size of the gas bubbles enclosed in the solid material. In this paper, the vibrational performances of two classes of sandwich panels with an Alulight(R) foam core are studied. Experimental tests, in terms of frequency response function and modal analysis, are performed in order to investigate the effect of different percentage of porosity in the foam, as well as the effect of the random distribution of the gas bubbles. Experimental results are used as a reference for developing numerical models using finite element approach. Firstly, a sensitivity analysis is performed in order to obtain a limit-but-bounded dynamic response, modelling the foam core as a homogeneous one. The experimental-numerical correlation is evaluated in terms of natural frequencies and mode shapes. Afterwards, an update of the previous numerical model is presented, in which the core is not longer modelled as homogeneous. Mass and stiffness are randomly distributed in the core volume, exploring the space of the eigenvectors.

Guided wave testing is a reliable and safe method for pipeline inspection. In general, guided wave testing employs a circumferential array of piezoelectric transducers to clamp on the pipe circumference. The sensitivity of the operation depends on many factors, including transducer distribution across the circumferential array. This paper presents the sensitivity analysis of transducer array for the circumferential characteristics of guided waves in a pipe using finite element modelling and experimental studies. Various cases are investigated for the outputs of guided waves in the numerical simulations, including the number of transducers per array, transducer excitation variability and variations in transducer spacing. The effect of the dimensions of simulated notches in the pipe is also investigated for different arrangements of the transducer array. The results from the finite element numerical simulations are then compared with the related experimental results. Results show that the numerical outputs agree well with the experimental data, and the guided wave mode T(0,1) presents high sensitivity to the notch size in the circumferential direction, but low sensitivity to the notch size in the axial direction.

The present paper presents multiscale modelling via coupling of the discrete and finite element methods. Theoretical formulation of the discrete element method using spherical or cylindrical particles has been briefly reviewed. Basic equations of the finite element method using the explicit time integration have been given. The micr-macro transition for the discrete element method has been discussed. Theoretical formulations for macroscopic stress and strain tensors have been given. Determination of macroscopic constitutive properties using dimensionless micro-macro relationships has been proposed. The formulation of the multiscale DEM/FEM model employing the DEM and FEM in different subdomains of the same body has been presented. The coupling allows the use of partially overlapping DEM and FEM subdomains. The overlap zone in the two coupling algorithms is introduced in order to provide a smooth transition from one discretization method to the other. Coupling between the DEM and FEM subdomains is provided by additional kinematic constraints imposed by means of either the Lagrange multipliers or penalty function method. The coupled DEM/FEM formulation has been implemented in the authors' own numerical program. Good performance of the numerical algorithms has been demonstrated in a number of examples.
