To analyze the bending and transverse shear effects of laminated composite plates, a thirteen nodes triangular element will be presented. The suggested formulations consider a parabolic variation of the transverse shear strains through the thickness. As a result, there is no need to use shear correction coefficients in computing the shear stresses. The proposed element can model both thin and thick plates without any problems, such as shear locking and spurious modes. Moreover, the effectiveness of $w_{,n}$, as an independent degree of freedom, is concluded by the present study. To perform the accuracy tests, several examples will be solved. Numerical results for the orthotropic materials with different boundary conditions, shapes, number of layers, thickness ratios and fiber orientations will be presented. The suggested element calculates the deflections and stresses more accurate than those available in the literature.

In the present study, a finite strip method for the vibration and stability analyses of anisotropic laminated composite plates is developed according to the higher-order shear deformation theory. This theory accounts for the parabolic distribution of the transverse shear strains through the thickness of the plate and for zero transverse shear stresses on the plate surfaces. In comparison with the finite strip method based on the first-order shear deformation theory, the present method gives improved results for very thick plates while using approximately the same number of degrees of freedom. It also eliminates the need for shear correction factors in calculating the transverse shear stiffness. A number of numerical examples are presented to show the effect of aspect ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, number of plies, fibre orientation and stacking sequence on the natural frequencies and critical buckling loads of simply supported rectangular cross-ply and arbitrary angle-ply composite laminates.

A numerical method is presented for an out-of-plane structural intensity analysis of rectangular thick plates with arbitrary elastic edge constraints. The method adapts an assumed mode method based on Timoshenko beam functions to obtain the velocities and internal forces needed for a structural intensity analysis. To verify the presented method, the structural intensity of a square thick plate under harmonic force excitation, for which four edges are simply supported, is analyzed, and the result is compared with existing solutions using the assumed mode method based on trigonometric functions. In addition, numerical analyses are carried out for a rectangular-shaped thick plate under harmonic force excitations, of which three edges are simply supported and one edge utilizes an arbitrary elastic edge constraint. These numerical examples show the good accuracy and applicability of the presented method for rectangular thick plates with arbitrary edge constraints.

Although weld-induced deformation is inevitable in shipbuilding, it is important to reduce it as low as possible during fabrication for a more efficient production of ships' blocks. The weld-induced deformation is more serious in thin plates than in thick plates because heat affect zone of thin plates is wider than that of thick plates, and in addition internal and external constraints much more influence upon weld-induced deformation of thin plates. This paper deals with the application of the mechanical tensioning method to butt weld of thin plates to reduce the transverse and longitudinal deformation. in order to investigate the quantitative effect of tensioning method upon the reduction of angular deformation and shrinkage in longitudinal and transverse direction of weld line, butt welding test have been carried out for several thin plate specimens with varying plate thickness and magnitude of tensile load. Numerical simulation has been also carried out to compare the weld-induced deformation and residual stress. From the present study, it has been found that the tensioning method is very effective on reduction of weld-induced residual stress as well as weld-induced deformation.

The buckling of stiffened plates is considered using a finite element method. In this paper stiffened plates are treated as orthotropic plates and by appling Mindlin's plate theory the effects of shear deformation to buckling loads are considered. In general, it is found that for moderately thick plates Mindlin's plate theory gives lower buckling load than those obtained using classical thin plate theory.

본 제철 공장의 후판 재고관리 자동화는 오래전부터 해결하지 못한 난제이었으며, 현재도 효율적인 후판 재고관리를 위해 제철업계에서 부단히 노력 중에 있다. 그동안 후판 적재의 환경적 특성 상 후판의 자동 인식을 위해 진보된 기술 적용이 쉽지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 자동 인식이 어려운 적재 상태에서 후판의 RFID 태그를 자동으로 스캔하여 인식한 후 후판 정보를 취득함으로써 신속하고 정확한 후판의 재고관리가 가능한 RFID기반 후판 스캐닝 로봇 시스템을 제안한다. RFID기반 후판 스캐닝 로봇 시스템은 후판을 끌어올려 이동시키는 크레인에 장착되어 운용된다. 후판에 부착된 태그 정보를 자동으로 식별하기 위해 후판 태그 전용으로 개발된 후판 전용 리니어 다이폴 안테나를 탑재하였고, 후판 전용 리니어 다이폴 안테나가 x축과 y축을 이동하면서 후판 태그의 위치를 스캐닝함으로써 태그의 정보를 취득한다. 시스템에 의해 취득된 태그 정보는 개발된 후판 재고관리 소프트웨어에 의해 재고 및 적치관리에 이용된다. 제안한 시스템은 개발되어 현장 성능평가를 통해 시스템의 효율성을 검증하였으며, 후판태그 인식율은 99.9%, 최대 인식거리는 320cm의 실험 결과를 보여 기존 상용 안테나에 비해 개발된 후판 전용 안테나의 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Deck plates and hatch coming of large container carrier and offshore structures are joined by ultra-thick plates whose thickness is more than 60mm. Traditionally FCAW has been used to join the thick plates in butt joint. However, FCAW has been replaced with EGW since the welding efficiency of EGW is higher than that of FCAW. Tandem EGW using two electrodes has been applied to vertical position welding by several shipyards. EGW requires one or two layers of bead whereas FCAW requires more than 20 layers of weld bead in thick welding. However, high welding residual stresses are generated by EGW since it uses higher heat input than FCAW. In the present study, a finite element model is suggested to predict the residual stresses induced by the tandem EGW. Butt specimen of EH40 TMCP shipbuilding steel plates vertical welding was modeled by a three-dimensional model. Residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction method and to verify the numerical result. The results show a good agreement with experimental result.

An investigation is made in the present work on the post-buckling and geometrically nonlinear behaviors of moderately thick perfect and imperfect rectangular plates made-up of functionally graded materials. Spectral collocation approach based on Legendre basis functions is developed to analyze the functionally graded plates while they are subjected to end-shortening strain. The material properties in this study are varied through the thickness according to the simple power law distribution. The fundamental equations for moderately thick rectangular plates are derived using first order shear deformation plate theory and taking into account both geometric nonlinearity and initial geometric imperfections. In the current study, the domain of interest is discretized with Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes. The equilibrium equations will be obtained by discretizing the Von-Karman's equilibrium equations and also boundary conditions with finite Legendre basis functions that are substituted into the displacement fields. Due to effect of geometric nonlinearity, the final set of equilibrium equations is nonlinear and therefore the quadratic extrapolation technique is used to solve them. Since the number of equations in this approach will always be more than the number of unknown coefficients, the least squares technique will be used. Finally, the effects of boundary conditions, initial geometric imperfection and material properties are investigated and discussed to demonstrate the validity and capability of proposed method.
