일반적으로 선박 및 해양구조물에서 사용하고 있는 고강도 알루미늄 재료들은 일반 강재에 비해서 많은 이점들을 가지고 있다. 이러한 알루미늄 재료들은 여러 분야에 걸쳐서 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 특히, 초고속 선박의 선체와 갑판부에 많이 이용되어지고 있고, 교량구조물에 사용되는 박스 거더, 그리고 해양구조물의 갑판부와 선측구조에도 널리 이용되고 있다. 이러한 알루미늄 구조는 전체적인 구조부재의 중량을 감소하게 하면서 선속의 증가를 가져온다. 일반적인 강구조물의 응력-변형률 관계와 비교하여 보면, 용접가공에 의하여 발생되는 열영향부의 존재로 인하여 상당히 다르게 나타난다. 왜냐하면, 강구조물에 비해 열전도율이 높아서, 열영향부(heat affected zone, HAZ)의 영향이 크게 작용하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 종방향 압축하중을 받는 알루미늄 보강 판넬의 최종강도 특성에 대하여, 열영향부의 범위를 변화한 유한요소해석을 통하여, 열영향부의 범위와 파굴 및 최종강도 거동의 관계에 대해서 고찰하였다.

최근 발생한 대규모 지진으로 구조물의 내진보강에 대한 사회적 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 특히 내진 설계가 반영되지 않은 기둥은 취성적인 파괴로 구조물 전체붕괴를 유발하기 때문에 내진보강이 적용 되어야한다. 과거에는 단면증설법, 강판보강법등이 주로 적용되었고 최근에는 복합재료의 장점을 이용한 섬유보강법이 선호되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 보강법들은 구조물의 물리적 손상을 유발하며, 작업공간과 시간소비가 크다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 보강법의 단점을 보강하여 복합재료 (Fiber reinforced polymer)와 Aluminum 체결부 이용한 FRP 내진보강재를 개발하였다. 비선형 유한요소 해석프로그램을 통해 개발된 FRP 내진보강재의 최적 보강량을 결정하였다.

본 논문은 평판강재를 소성적으로 가공하고, 이것을 용접으로 연결하여 제작한 LPG 용기에 대한 강도 안전성을 고찰하고자 한다. 용기의 강도 안전성은 유한요소해석법을 사용하여 LPG 용기 구조물에서 발생되는 응력분포를 해석함으로써 안전성에 대한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. FEM 해석결과에 의하면, 내압시험을 위한 가스압력 $31kg/cm^2$은 LPG 용기의 상부경판의 프레스 가공 부근에서 국부적인 집중응력이 발생하고, 여기서 발생된 최대응력은 용기 소재의 항복강도를 넘어서는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재의 내압시험 검사방법은 압력용기의 피로손상을 증가시키고 수명을 단축하는 원인으로 작용할 수 있다는 결과를 보여주기 때문에 재검토되어야 하고, 빠른 시일에 개정되어야 할 것이다. 반면에 충전압력 $9kg/cm^2$와 기밀시험 압력 $18.6kg/cm^2$에 의한 용기의 충전과 검사기준에 대한 해석은 LPG 강재용기의 안전성이 비교적 높다는 결과를 제시하고 있다.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been spotlighted as one of promising field emission displays(FEDs). For the first time, to authors knowledge, we have developed the 9" color CNT-FEDs with the resolution of 240x576 lines. The 9" CNT-FEDs with diode-type and triode-type structures are presented. The well-dispersed CNT paste was squeezed onto the metal-patterned cathode glass. For the anode plate, the Y2O2S:Eu, ZnS:Ag,Cl low-voltage phosphors were printed for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The vacuum-packaged panel maintained the vacuum level of 1x10-7 Torr. The uniform moving images vacuum-packaged panel maintained the vacuum level of 1x10-7 Torr. The uniform moving images were demonstrated at 2 V/um. High brightness of 800, 200, and 150cd/m2 was observed on the green, red, and blue phosphors at V/um, respectively. Field emission characteristics of a triode-type CNT-FED were simulated using a finite element method. the resultant field strength on the cathode was modulated by gate bias and emitted electrons were focused on the anode. A relatively uniform emission image was experimentally achieved at the 800V anode. A relatively uniform emission image was experimentally achieved at the 800V anode and the 50-180 V gate biases. Energy distribution of electrons emitted from CNTs was measured using an energy analyzer. The maximum peak of energy curve corresponded to the Fermi energy level of CNTs. The whole fabrication processed of CNT-FEDs were fully scalable and reproducible. Our CNT-FEDs has demonstrated the high potential of large-area and full-color applications with very low cost fabrication and low power consumption.

In past years, numerous problems have vexed engineers with regard to buckling, corrosion, bending, and overloading in damaged steel structures. This article sets out to investigate the possible effects of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and steel plates for retrofitting deficient steel square hollow section (SHS) columns. The effects of axial loading, stiffness, axial displacement, the position and shape of deficient region on the length of steel SHS columns, and slenderness ratio are examined through a detailed parametric study. A total of 14 specimens was tested for failure under axial compression in a laboratory and simulated using finite element (FE) analysis based on a numerical approach. The results indicate that the application of CFRP sheets and steel plates also caused a reduction in stress in the damaged region and prevented or retarded local deformation around the deficiency. The findings showed that a deficiency leads to reduced load-carrying capacity of steel SHS columns and the retrofitting method is responsible for the increase in the load-bearing capacity of the steel columns. Finally, this research showed that the CFRP performed better than steel plates in compensating the axial force caused by the cross-section reduction due to the problems associated with the use of steel plates, such as in welding, increased weight, thermal stress around the welding location, and the possibility of creating another deficiency by welding.

Fuel economy has always been a major issue for the automotive industry due to environmental concerns. In particular, it is known that only 5-20% of the energy generated in a car that mainly uses an internal combustion engine is converted to increase fuel efficiency, many methods have been proposed. Among these methods, weight reduction is most commonly used because it is the simplest and cheapest. Weight is always the main reason for energy consumption, therefore, reducing weight is the best way to increase fuel efficiency while simultaneously saving on material costs. To reduce the weight of a compressor, material substitution is used. However, aluminum (a lighter metal substitute) is more fragile than steel, therefore, structural stability must be verified through testing. In this paper, we performed a 3D analysis to investigate whether aluminum can be used without compromising structural stability. Our investigation included static analysis and thermal analysis. As a result, we found that an aluminum swash plate can be safely applied on a shaft instead of steel; it reduces weight while maintaining stability that is equal to or better than steel.

In engineering design, the axial equivalent elastic modulus of laminated FRP pipe was mostly calculated by the average elastic modulus method or the classical laminated plate theory method, which are based on relatively simplified assumptions, and may be not accurate enough sometimes. A new analytical calculation method for the axial equivalent elastic modulus of laminated FRP pipe was established based on three-dimensional stress state. By comparing the results calculated by this method with those by the above two traditional analytical methods and the finite element method, it is found that this method for the axial equivalent elastic modulus fits well not only for thin-walled pipes with orthotropic layers, but also for thick-walled pipes with arbitrary layers. Besides, the influence of the layer stacking on the axial equivalent elastic modulus was studied with this method. It is found that a proper content of circumferential layer is beneficial for improving the axial equivalent elastic modulus of the laminated FRP pipe with oblique layers, and then can reduce its material quantity under the premise that its axial stiffness remains unchanged. Finally, the meso-mechanical mechanism of this effect was analyzed. The improving effect of circumferential layer on the axial equivalent elastic modulus of the laminated FRP pipe with oblique layers is mainly because that, the circumferential fibers can restrain the rigid body rotations of the oblique fibers, which tend to cause the significant deformations of the pipe wall units and the relatively low axial equivalent elastic modulus of the pipe.

Bonded joints have proven their performance against conventional joining processes such as welding, riveting and bolting. The single-lap joint is the most widely used to characterize adhesive joints in tensile-shear loadings. However, the high stress concentrations in the adhesive joint due to the non-linearity of the applied loads generate a bending moment in the joint, resulting in high stresses at the adhesive edges. Geometric optimization of the bonded joint to reduce this high stress concentration prompted various researchers to perform geometric modifications of the adhesive and adherends at their free edges. Modifying both edges of the adhesive (spew) and the adherends (bevel) has proven to be an effective solution to reduce stresses at both edges and improve stress transfer at the inner part of the adhesive layer. The majority of research aimed at improving the geometry of the plate and adhesive edges has not considered the effect of temperature and water absorption in evaluating the strength of the joint. The objective of this work is to analyze, by the finite element method, the stress distribution in an adhesive joint between two 2024-T3 aluminum plates. The effects of the adhesive fillet and adherend bevel on the bonded joint stresses were taken into account. On the other hand, degradation of the mechanical properties of the adhesive following its exposure to moisture and temperature was found. The results clearly showed that the modification of the edges of the adhesive and of the bonding agent have an important role in the durability of the bond. Although the modification of the adhesive and bonding edges significantly improves the joint strength, the simultaneous exposure of the joint to temperature and moisture generates high stress concentrations in the adhesive joint that, in most cases, can easily reach the failure point of the material even at low applied stresses.

This paper presents the numerical simulation results on the moving type electrodynamic suspension (EDS) simulator and static type EDS simulator using high-Tc superconducting (HTS) levitation magnet. The levitation force of the EDS system is formed by the reaction between the moving magnet and the fixed ground conductor. The possible two ways to simulate the EDS system were simulated in this paper by using finite element method (FEM). The first way was the moving type simulator which consists of the fixed HTS magnet and the moving ground conductor. The second way was the static type simulator which consists of the fixed magnet, the fixed ground conductor and the ac current supply system. To verify the characteristics of high speed EDS system with the moving type simulator heavy, large and fast moving ground conductor is needed. The static type simulator can get the characteristics of the high speed EDS system by applying equivalent ac current to velocity, therefore it does not need large moving part. The static type EDS simulator, which can consist of an HTS magnet, the fixed ground conductor(s), an AC power supply and the measuring devices, also test the effect of the shape of the ground conductor easily. The plate type ground conductor made stronger levitation force than ring type ground conductor. Although the outer diameter 335 mm ring type ground conductor (Ring3) was larger than the outer diameter 235 mm ground conductor (Ring2), the levitation force by Ring2 was stronger than that by Ring3. From the calculation results on this paper, the consideration of the magnetic flux distribution according to the levitation height should be included in the process of the ground conductor design.
