In general means, the stress concentration problem of elastic plate with a rectangular hole can be investigated by numerical methods, and only approximative results are derived. This paper deduces an analytical study of the stress concentration due to a rectangular hole in an elastic plate under bending loads. Base on classical elasticity theory and FEM applying the U-transformation technique, the uncoupled governing equations with 3-DOF are established, and the analytical displacement solutions of the finite element equations are derived in series form or double integral form. Therefore, the stress concentration factor can then be discussed easily and conveniently. For the plate subjected to unidirectional bending loads, the non-conforming plate bending element with four nodes and 12-DOF is taken as examples to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. The inner force distribution is obtained. The solutions are adequate for the condition when the hole is far away from the edges and the thin plate subjected to any transverse loadings.

In this study, analytical solution of multip-species transport equations coupled with a first-order reaction network under constant concentration boundary condition or total flux boundary condition is obtained using similarity transformation approach of Clement et al. (2000). The study shows the schematic process about how multi-species transport equations with first-order sequential reaction network is transformed through the similarity transformation approach into independent and uncoupled single species transport equations with first-order reaction. The analytical solution was verified through the comparison with popular commercial programs such as 2DFATMIC and RT3D. The analytical solution can be utilized in nuclear waste sites where radioactive contaminants and their daughter products occur and in industrial complex cities where chlorinated solvent such as PCE, TCE, and its biodegradation products produces. In addition, it can help the verification of the developed numerical code.

Generally, the weather forecast system has been run using prescribed ocean condition. As it is widely known that coupling between atmosphere and ocean process produces consistent initial condition at all-time scales to improve forecast skill, there are many trials on the application of data assimilation of coupled model. In this study, we implemented a weakly coupled data assimilation (short for WCDA) system in global NWP model with low horizontal resolution for coupled forecast with uncoupled initialization, following WCDA system at the Met Office. The experiment is carried out for a typhoon evolution forecast in 2017. Air-sea exchange process provides SST cooling and gives a substantial impact on tendency of central pressure changes in the decaying phase of the typhoon, except the underestimated central pressure. Coupled data assimilation is a challenging new area, requiring further work, but it would offer the potential for improving air-sea feedback process on NWP timescales and finally contributing forecast accuracy.

This paper presents a sole application of boundary element method to the conjugate heat transfer problem of thermally developing laminar flow in a thick walled pipe when the fluid velocities are fully developed. Due to the coupled mechanism of heat conduction in the solid region and heat convection in the fluid region, two separate solutions in the solid and fluid regions are sought to match the solid-fluid interface continuity condition. In this method, the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) with the axial direction marching scheme is used to solve the heat convection problem and the conventional boundary element method (BEM) of axisymmetric model is applied to solve the heat conduction problem. An iterative and numerically stable BEM solution algorithm is presented, which uses the coupled interface conditions explicitly instead of uncoupled conditions. Both the local convective heat transfer coefficient at solid-fluid interface and the local mean fluid temperature are initially guessed and updated as the unknown interface thermal conditions in the iterative solution procedure. Two examples imposing uniform temperature and heat flux boundary conditions are tested in thermally developing region and compared with analytic solutions where available. The benchmark test results are shown to be in good agreement with the analytic solutions for both examples with different boundary conditions.

A study is made, in the framework of linear potential theory, to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional wave-energy absorbers as like the Salter's duck and an oscillating cam with Lewis-form section, which undergo uncoupled heaving and rolling motions in an incident linear gravity wave in deep water. Wave energy is supposed to be extracted by a linearly damped generator with an spring. Some well-known formulae in ship hydrodynamics such as Haskind-Newman relation and Bessho-Newman relation are utilized in forms of Kochin functions to derived expressions for efficiency, breaking effect and drift force of the absorber. Maximum ideal efficiency of 100% can be arrived at an prescribed tuning frequency. Coupling effect is also examined to assess the detrimental effect of sway on efficiency. From numerical calculations for both types of two-dimensional devices it may be concluded that a wave-energy absorber functions at the same time as a wave breaker and that the drift force acting on the device becomes smaller when it absorbs wave energy than as it oscillates freely. Finally the study is extended to an infinite array system, equivalent to a body in a canal, to show that all incident wave energy can be absorbed regardless of the absorber's size, only if the optimum space and the optimum condition of control are realized.

The effects of water flow rate and phytoplankton concentration on the growth of the sandy shore clam Gafrarium tumidum was investigated in a laboratory flume study using a $3{\times}3$ factorial design. After 60 days, shell length, shell weight and tissue dry weight increased significantly with phytoplankton concentration. For the effect of flow rate, growth was faster when flow rate increased from low to medium level; further increases in flow rate, however, either did not sustain faster growth or resulted in a reduction in growth. The condition index (CI) of a standard-sized clam was significantly higher at low flow rate than at medium and high flow rates and was negatively correlated with phytoplankton concentration. The uncoupled growth of shell and tissue in response to flow rate and phytoplankton concentration may be adaptations to low food environments, so that energy can either be stored to sustain life or reserved for gametogenesis during the reproductive period.

본 연구는 선형, 비선형 hygrothermal 응력 문제를 위한 explicit-Implicit 유한요소 해석 모델 개발에 관한 것이다. 부가적으로 moilsture 확산 방정식, J-적분 평가를 위한 균열 요소 및 가상 균열 진전법이 도입된다. 시간 변화에 따른 균열 추진력을 계산하기 위하여 선형 탄성 파괴 역학(LEFM)이론이 고려되며 재료의 기공은 실온에서 액체 상태의 습기로 포화되어 있으며 온도가 상승함에 따라 증기화된다는 가정하에서 균열 추진력과 증기 효과의 관계가 연구된다. 이상 기체방정식은 각 시간 단계에서 증기에 의한 열역학적 압력을 계산하기 위하여 이용된다. 다공질 재료의 시간 종속 응답을 지배하는 방정식들은 혼합이론에 기초하며 다공질 재료의 유체 흐름을 위한 Darcy의 법칙과 Von-Mises 항복 기준을 포함하고 있는 Perzyna의 점소성 모델이 첨가된다. 또한 Green-Naghdi 응력률이 중첩된 강체 운동하에서 응력 텐서 invariant로 사용되며, 모델링을 위하여 사각요소가 이용되고 비선형 지배 방정식을 풀기 위하여 full Newton-Raphson법에 의한 반복법이 사용된다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 본 유한요소 프로그램은 복합재의 hygrothermal 파괴 해석에 매우 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. 2) 습기의 온도에 의한 영향을 가지는 재료의 J-적분을 정확히 예측하기 위하여는 증기 효과를 고려하여야 한다. 왜냐하면 초기단계에 균열 전파력이 가속되기 때문이다. 3) 본 해석을 위해 Uncoupled scheme에 의한 결과도 Coupled scheme에 결과에 비해 아주 타당하므로 CPU 측면에서 매우 경제적인 Uncoupled scheme이 추천된다.

If the center of mass and center of stiffness or strength of a structure plan do not coincide, the structure is considered asymmetric. During an earthquake, in addition to lateral vibration, the structure experiences torsional vibration as well. Lateraltorsional coupling in asymmetric structures in the plan will increase lateral displacement at the ends of the structure plan and, as a result, uneven deformation demand in seismically resistant frames. The demand for displacement in resistant frames depends on the magnitude of transitional displacement to rotational displacement in the plan and the correlation between these two. With regard to the inability to eliminate the asymmetrical condition due to various reasons, such as architectural issues, this study has attempted to use supplemental viscous dampers to decrease the correlation between lateral and torsional acceleration or displacement in the plan. This results in an almost even demand for lateral deformation and acceleration of seismic resistant frames. On this basis, using the concept of Torsional Balance, adequate distribution of viscous dampers for the decrease of this correlation was determined by transferring the "Empirical Center of Balance" (ECB) to the geometrical center of the structure plan and thus obtaining an equal mean square value of displacement and acceleration of the plan edges. This study analyzed stiff and flexible torsional structures with one-way and two-way mass asymmetry in the Opensees software. By implementing the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, the optimum formation of dampers for controlling lateral displacement and acceleration is determined. The results indicate that with the appropriate distribution of viscous dampers, not only does the lateral displacement and acceleration of structure edges decrease but the lateral displacement or acceleration of the structure edges also become equal. It is also observed that the optimized center of viscous dampers for control of displacement and acceleration of structure depends on the amount of mass eccentricity, the ratio of uncoupled torsional-to-lateral frequency, and the amount of supplemental damping ratio. Accordingly, distributions of viscous dampers in the structure plan are presented to control the structure's torsion based on the parameters mentioned.

경계반력법은 일반적인 복합법에서 필요한 진동수영역과 시간영역의 반복 작업이 필요없는 두 단계의 시간수영역 부구조법이다. 경계반력법은 다음의 두 단계로 나누어진다: (1) 진동수영역에서 선형구간과 비선형구간 경계에서 경계반력계산, (2) 시간영역에서 경계반력을 이용한 파동방사형문제 해석. 이때 시간영역에서는 파동방사형문제를 모사하기 위해 근역지반을 모델링한다. 이 연구에서는 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석을 위한 BRM 해석의 근역지반 모델링 범위에 따른 응답을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 등가선형 SSI 문제를 이용하여 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. BRM 응답의 정확성을 평가하기 위해 BRM 응답은 재래의 SSI 해석의 응답과 비교하였다. 수치해석결과 BRM 해석을 위한 근역지반 모델링 범위는 기초의 크기뿐만 아니라 지반조건의 영향을 받았다. 마지막으로, BRM 해석을 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석에 적용하므로 BRM의 정확성과 효율성을 입증하였다.

본 연구에서 초기재령 콘크리트의 단면 내 수화도와 온도 및 습도분포를 구하는 3차원 유한요소 해석 프로그램을 개발하기 위한 수화도에 따른 재료 모델을 제시하고, 수치해석 절차에 관하여 정립하였다. 재료물성이 급격히 변화하는 초기재령 콘크리트의 거동을 모사하는 과정에서 온도 및 습도에 관련된 재료 물성이 수화도에 따라 결정하였다. 또한 수분거동 연구는 경화한(mature) 콘크리트에 대해서는 여러 연구자에 의해 수행되었지만, 초기재령 콘크리트의 전달계수, 수분용량에 관한 연구는 제대로 정립되지 않은 실정이다. 또한 일반적으로 보통콘크리트에서 무시되는 수분감소항은 고강도 및 고성능 콘크리트의 자기건조(self-desiccation)와 관련된 자기수축(autogenous shrinkage)을 유발하고, 이는 구조물의 장기 내구성 및 사용성 측면에서 중요한 관심사이다. 따라서 본 연구는 초기재령 콘크리트의 온도 및 수축에 의한 응력을 평가하기 위하여, 고강도 및 고성능 콘크리트를 포함한 초기재령 콘크리트의 온도 및 수분거동을 적절히 표현하는 수학적 재료 모델을 제시하고, 콘크리트의 단면 내 수화도와 온도 및 습도분포를 결정하는 3차원 유한요소 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 해석프로그램을 이용한 수치해석 결과는 실험결과와의 비교를 통하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.
