차륜/레일 접촉은 철도차량의 동특성을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 철도 차륜과 레일 사이에 작용하는 토크에 의한 견인력과 마찰력을 두 원통의 접촉문제로 이론해석과 전산해석을 하고 수직하중과 전단력이 작용하는 실제 차륜과 레일에 대한 전산해석을 하였다. 철도차륜과 레일 접촉문제는 구름과 미끄러짐이 있는 탄성접촉인 크리프에 의한 크리프힘을 생성하는 과정으로서 차륜과 레일의 형상 및 마찰계수에 따라 달라짐을 알 수 있었다.

In the current investigation, large amplitude free vibration behavior of shallow curved pipes (tubes) made of functionally graded materials is investigated. Properties of the tube are distributed across the radius of the tube and are obtained by means of a power law function. It is also assumed that all thermo-mechanical properties are temperature dependent. The governing equations of the tube are obtained using a higher order shear deformation tube theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the tube. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large displacements and small strains. Uniform temperature elevation of the tube is also included into the formulation. For the case of tubes which are simply supported in flexure and axially immovable, the governing equations are solved using the two-step perturbation technique. Closed form expressions are provided to obtain the small and large amplitude fundamental natural frequencies of the FGM shallow curved tubes in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of thermal environment, radius ratio, and length to thickness ratio of the tube on the fundamental linear and non-linear frequencies.

본 글에서는 속이 찬 실린더(solid cylinder)에서의 비대칭 탄성파전파 문제를 풀기 위한 해석적 방법의 일부를 소개하고자 한다. 속이찬 실린더에 있어서는 측면벽의 경계조건에 상관없이 평 판에서의 Fourier 시리즈와 유사한 단순해가 존재하지 않는다고 밝혀져 왔다(1). 그러나 최근 발표된 본인의 논문(2)에서 지적된 것처럼, 매우 특별한 측면 경계조건을 갖는 경우에만 정해가 존재한다. 특히 탄성파전파에 관한 한, 이러한 정해는 물리적으로 볼 때 팽창파(dilatational wave)와 전단파(shear wave)가 서로 얽히지 않는 상태에 해당되기 때문에, 소위 "비혼합 해(uncoupled solution)"라 불린다. 이 "비혼합해(uncoupled solution)"의 실제 사용 예를 들면, 상술된 바와 같이 일반적인 측면 경계조건을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더 문제를 풀기 위한 시도함 수(trial function)로 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 주지하는 바와 같이 자유측면벽(traction-free cylindrical wall)을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더는 공학적으로 매우 중요한 구조요소이다. 이 경우에는 측면벽의 경계조건으로 말미암아, 해가 정해의 형태로 존재하지 않는다. 특히 이 구조물에서의 탄성파전파 문제를 다루고자 할 때, 먼저 분산관계식(dispersion relation)을 구한 다음, 이를 이 용해 경계문제를 푸는 것이 상용적으로 사용되는 방법이다. 이 분산 관계식은 파장과 주파수 와의 관계를 나타내는 것으로, 그 복잡성으로 말미암아 이 식을 사용되는 수치해법으로 정확하게 구하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. 따라서, 본 글에서는 특별한 측면벽을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더의 비혼합해를 활용하여 자유측면벽을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더의 분산관계식(pochhammer의 분산관 계식이라 불린다)을 구하는 법을 설명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 비혼합해가 존재하는 측면경계조 건에 대해 먼저 살펴보고자 한다.조 건에 대해 먼저 살펴보고자 한다.

Bending and buckling analysis of multi-directional porous functionally graded sandwich plate has been performed for two cases namely: FG skin with homogeneous core and FG core with homogeneous skin. The principle of virtual displacements was employed and the solution was obtained using Navier's technique. This theory imposes traction-free boundary conditions on the surfaces and does not require shear correction factors. The validation of the present study has been performed with those available in the literature. The composition of metal-ceramic-based FGM changes in longitudinal and transverse directions according to the power law. Different porosity laws, such as uniform distribution, unevenly and logarithmically uneven distributions were used to mimic the imperfections in the functionally graded material that were introduced during the fabrication process. Several sandwich plates schemes were studied based on the plate's symmetry and the thickness of each layer. The effects of grading parameters and porosity laws on the bending and buckling of sandwich plates were examined.

In the current research, the nonlinear free vibrations of curved pipes made of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) materials are investigated. It is assumed that the FG-CNTRC curved pipe is supported on a three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and is subjected to a uniform temperature rise. Properties of the curved nanocomposite pipe are distributed across the radius of the pipe and are given by means of a refined rule of mixtures approach. It is also assumed that all thermomechanical properties of the nanocomposite pipe are temperature-dependent. The governing equations of the curved pipe are obtained using a higher order shear deformation theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the pipe. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large deflection in the curved nanocomposite pipe. For the case of nanocomposite curved pipes which are simply supported in flexure and axially immovable, the motion equations are solved using the two-step perturbation technique. The closed-form expressions are provided to obtain the small- and large-amplitude frequencies of FG-CNTRC curved pipes rested on a nonlinear elastic foundation in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of CNT distribution pattern, the CNT volume fraction, thermal environment, nonlinear foundation stiffness, and geometrical parameters on the fundamental linear and nonlinear frequencies of the curved nanocomposite pipe.

Free vibration analysis of multi-directional porous functionally graded (FG) sandwich plate has been performed for two cases namely: FG skin with homogeneous core and FG core with homogeneous skin. Hamilton's principle was employed and the solution was obtained using Navier's technique. This theory imposes traction-free boundary conditions on the surfaces and does not require shear correction factors. The results obtained are validated with those available in the literature. The composition of metal-ceramic-based functionally graded material (FGM) changes in longitudinal and transverse directions according to the power law. Imperfections in the functionally graded material introduced during the fabrication process were modeled with different porosity laws such as evenly, unevenly distributed, and logarithmic uneven distributions. The effect of porosity laws and geometry parameters on the natural frequency was investigated. On comparing the natural frequency of two cases for perfect and imperfect sandwich plates a reverse trend in natural frequency result was seen. The finding shows a multidirectional functionally graded structures perform better compared to uni-directional gradation. Hence, critical grading parameters and imperfection types have been identified which will guide experimentalists and researchers in selecting fabrication routes for improving the performance of such structures.

Sandwich structures with the superior mechanical properties such as high stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal insulation, and high energy absorption capacity are used today in aerospace, automotive, marine, and civil engineering industries. These structures are composed of moderately stiff, thin face sheets that withstand the majority of transverse and in-plane loads, separated by a thick, lightweight core that resists shear forces. In this research, the finite element technique is used to simulate a sandwich panel with a truss core under axial compressive stress using ABAQUS software. A review of past experimental studies shows that the bondline between the core and face sheets plays a vital role in the critical failure load. Therefore, this modeling analyzes the damage initiation modes and debonding between face sheet and core by cohesive surface contact with traction-separation model. According to the results obtained from the modeling, it can be observed that the adhesive stiffness has a significant influence on the critical failure load of the specimens. To achieve the full strength of the structure as a continuum, a lower limit is obtained for the adhesive stiffness. By providing this limit stiffness between the core and the panel face sheets, sudden failure of the structure can be prevented.

The nonlinear snap-through buckling of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) curved tubes is analytically investigated in this research. It is assumed that the FG-CNTRC curved tube is supported on a three-parameter nonlinear elastic foundation and is subjected to the uniformly distributed pressure and thermal loads. Properties of the curved nanocomposite tube are distributed across the radius of the pipe and are given by means of a refined rule of mixtures approach. It is also assumed that all thermomechanical properties of the nanocomposite tube are temperature-dependent. The governing equations of the curved tube are obtained using a higher-order shear deformation theory, where the traction free boundary conditions are satisfied on the top and bottom surfaces of the tube. The von Kármán type of geometrical non-linearity is included into the formulation to consider the large deflection in the curved tube. Equations of motion are solved using the two-step perturbation technique for nanocomposite curved tubes which are simply-supported and clamped. Closed-form expressions are provided to estimate the snap-buckling resistance of FG-CNTRC curved pipes rested on nonlinear elastic foundation in thermal environment. Numerical results are given to explore the effects of the distribution pattern and volume fraction of CNTs, thermal field, foundation stiffnesses, and geometrical parameters on the instability of the curved nanocomposite tube.

A preliminary study of a new pulsatile pump that will work to a frequency greater than 1 Hz, is presented. The fluid-structure interaction between a Newtonian blood flow and a piston drive that moves with periodic speed is simulated. The mechanism is of double effect and has four valves, two at the input flow and two at the output flow; the valves are simulated with specified velocity of closing and reopening. The simulation is made with finite elements software named COMSOL Multiphysics 3.3 to resolve the flow in a preliminary planar configuration. The geometry is 2D to determine areas of high speeds and high shear stresses that can cause hemolysis and platelet aggregation. The opening and closing valves are modelled by solid structure interacting with flow, the rhythmic opening and closing are synchronized with the piston harmonic movement. The boundary conditions at the input and output areas are only normal traction with reference pressure. On the other hand, the fluid structure interactions are manifested due to the non-slip boundary conditions over the piston moving surfaces, moving valve contours and fix pump walls. The non-physiologic frequency pulsatile pump, from the viewpoint of fluid flow analysis, is predicted feasible and with characteristic of low hemolysis and low thrombogenesis, because the stress tension and resident time are smaller than the limit and the vortices are destroyed for the periodic flow.

캐드헤린-카테닌 복합체는 세포의 부착 접합부에서 힘의 전달에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 기계적 힘 신호를 시각화 하고 감지하는 적절한 도구의 부재로, 캐드헤린-카테닌 복합체가 세포 간 접합에서 힘 전달을 조절하는 기본 메커니즘은 아직 파악하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 형광공명에너지전이를 기반으로 설계된 알파카테닌 센서를 사용하여 캐드헤린에 의해 매개되는 힘 전달을 시각화 하였다. 이러한 결과는 알파카테닌이 세포-세포 접합부에서 캐드헤린 매개 기계적에너지변환(mechanotransduction) 경로의 핵심적인 힘 트랜스듀서(force transducer) 임을 보여준다. 본 연구는 향후 기계적 힘의 세포-세포 상호간의 의사소통에 미치는 영향과 생리학적/병리학적 현상과의 관계를 연구하는 데 중요한 이해를 제공할 것이라 본다.
