Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state joining method patented in 1991 by The Welding Institute (TWI). It is widely used for joining light metals such as Al and Mg alloys. Foreign railway vehicle manufacturing companies have been applying FSW to car body welding, but domestic companies are in the beginning of feasibility study. Therefore, lots of experimental and analytical study is needed. In this study, three-dimensional finite element modeling of the friction stir welding of two Al6061-T6 plates was carried out. And temperature field and residual stresses were obtained and compared to experimental results in the literature. It is found the analytic thermal field is in a good agreement with the experimental results, but there are some differences between numerical and experimental residual stresses.

A finite element method (FEM) study was performed on micro-scale blanking of an AL6061-T6 foil with negative clearance. ABAQUS/explicit was used to prepare a simulation model of negative clearance blanking with tools having an edge radius comparable to the foil thickness. The Johnson-Cook plastic flow model was used in the simulations for the material flow. The FEM model was used to study the effects of various blanking parameters on the negative clearance blanking process and quality of the blank. In particular, the projecting edge on the bottom of the blank was observed. Research on negative blanking at the micro-scale is summarized and discussed.

In order to operate an RPV safely it is necessary to keep the pressure-temperature (P-T) limit during the heatup and cooldown process. While the ASME Code provides the P-T limit curve for safe operation, this limit curve has been prepared under conservative assumptions In this paper the effects of conservative assumptions involved in the P-T limit curve specified in the ASME Code Sec. XI were investigated. Three different parameters the crack depth the cladding thickness and the cooling rate, were reviewed based on 3-D finite element analyses. Also the constraint effect on P-T limit curve generation was investigated based on J- T approach. It was shown that the crack depth and the constraint effect change the safe region in P-T limit curve significantly Therefore it is recommended to prepare a more precise P-T limit curve based on finite element analysis to obtain P-T limit for safe operation of an RPV.

The higher-order asymptotic C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach was employed to investigate the crack-tip stress of two collinear cracks in a power-law creeping material under the plane strain conditions. A comprehensive calculation was made of the single crack, collinear crack model with S/a = 0.4 and 0.8, by using the C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach, HRR-type field and the finite element analysis; the latter two methods were used to check the constraint significance and the calculation accuracy of the C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach, respectively. With increasing the creep time, the constraint $A_2$ was exponentially increased in the small-scale creep stage, while no discernible dependency of the constraint $A_2$ on the creep time was found at the extensive creep state. In addition, the creep time and the mechanical loads have no distinct influence on accuracy of the results obtained from the higher-order asymptotic C(t) - $A_2(t)$ approach. In comparison with the HRR-type field, the higher-order asymptotic C(t) - $A_2(t)$ solution matches well with the finite element results for the collinear crack model.

하악 제1대구치가 상실되고 하악 제2대구치가 근심으로 경사된 경우 이를 직립 시키기 위하여 직립 스프링을 사용하였을 때 초기에 나타나는 응력 분포와 치아의 변위 양상을 살펴보고 여러 조건하에서의 변화를 비교, 분석하여 바람직하지 못한 치아 이동을 감소시키기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 하악 치아, 치근막과 치조골의 형태와 물리적 특성을 컴퓨터로 재현시키고 브라켓을 모형화하여 치아에 부착한 후 helical spring, root spring, T-loop, modified T-loop, box loop등 5가지 형태의 스프링을 beam 요소로 모형화하여 적용시켜 유한요소 모델을 제작하였다. 스프링의 형태, cinch-back 여부, activation 양, tip-backbend의 크기에 따른 차이를 보기 위하여 여러 조건하에서 탄선 적용시 나타나는 힘과 모멘트, 치아이동 변위를 개개치아의 FA point에서 계측하여 비교, 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Helical spring과 root spring 적용시 하악 견치와 제1소구치의 압하가 일어났고, 하악 제2대구치의 원심이동과 정출, 원심회전이 일어났다. 2. T-loop, modified T-loop, box loop 적용시 하악 제2소구치의 압하와 원심이동이 일어났고, 하악 제2대구치의 직립에 필요한 원심이동과 원심회전은 T-loop에서 가장 크게 나타나고, box loop에서 가장 작게 나타났다. 3. T-loop에서 cinch-back을 한 경우 하악 제2대구치 치관의 원심이동과 원심회전은 약간 감소하였으나, 치아의 정출도 동시에 감소하였다. 4. T-loop에서 activation양을 증가시킴에 따라 하악 제2대구치의 근심이동이 점차 증가하여 공간폐쇄 경향을 보였고, 치관의 원심회전 역시 점차 증가하였으나, 하악 제2소구치의 원심 이동도 약간 증가하였다. 5. T-loop에서 tip-back bend의 양을 증가시킴에 따라 하악 제2대구치의 직립에 필요한 원심이동과 원심회전이 점차 증가하였으나, 치아의 정출은 더욱 급격히 증가하였다.

In this paper we extend the mixed finite element method and its $L_2$-error estimate for postprocessed solutions by using Crank-Nicolson time-discretization method. Global $O(h^2+({\Delta}t)^2)$-superconvergence for the lowest order Raviart-Thomas element ($Q_0-Q_{1,0}{\times}Q_{0,1}$) are obtained. Numerical examples are presented to confirm superconvergence phenomena.

The paper is concerned with the pre-arcing behavior of rapid current limiting fuselink using copper as a melting element. The phenomenon is faced by a numerical simulation(especially, FDM is applicated) of the melting element. Through the results, we can know the trends of the I-t characteristics and temperature distribution along the x axis for different fuselink shapes with circular, rectangular, and skew restriction type respectively, to be good for designing the optimal element.

The effect of the initial imperfections on the nonlinear behaviors and ultimate strength of the thin-walled members subjected to the axial loads, obtained by the finite element stability analysis, are examined. As the initial imperfections, the bucking mode shapes of the members are adopted. The buckling mode shapes of the thin-walled members are obtained by the transfer matrix method. In the finite element stability analysis, isoparametric degenerated shell element is used, and the geometrical and material nonlinearity are considered based on the Green Lagrange strain definition and the Prandtl-Reuss stress-strain relation following the von Mises yield criterion. The U-, box- and I-section members subjected to the axial loads are adopted for numerical examples, and the effects of the initial imperfections on the nonlinear behaviors and ultimate strength of the members are examined.

The objective of this study is to develop an analytical module for the prediction of burr formation during cutting process using the finite element method. This module is based on the rigid-plastic finite element method, ductile fracture criterion, fracture propagation technique and node separation criterion. The sequence of burr formation from burr initiation through end of burr formation is simulated and investigated by this module. The effect of material properties, such as AL6061-T6, AL2024-T4 and Copper, and cutting condition, such as rake angle and cutting depth, on burr formation is also discussed in this study. To validate this module the analysis results are compared with experimental ones.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behavior and strength of prestressed concrete deep beams using nonlinear analysis. By using a sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program, the accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can be enhanced. A computer program, the RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. Tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and models of reinforcing and prestressing steel were used to account for the material nonlinearity of prestressed concrete. The smeared crack approach was incorporated. A bonded or unbonded prestressing bar element is used based on the finite element method, which can represent the interaction between the prestressing bars and concrete of a prestressed concrete member. The proposed numerical method for the evaluation of behavior and strength of prestressed concrete deep beams is verified by comparing its results with reliable experimental results.
