In this study, designs of protection fences such as the concrete median barrier and the guardrail were performed. The foreign standard of concrete median barrier was introduced and implemented without modification fitting to domestic vehicles and highway conditions. In a car accident, median barrier doesn't protect vehicles effectively, especially for heavy vehicles such as bus and heavy truck. Guardrail doesn't protect vehicle effectively, either. The purpose of this study is to develop the optimal performance design of concrete median barrier and design of guardrail using the design of experiment as well as crashworthiness analysis which is done by Pam-Crash. As a result of this study, an optimal design of concrete median barrier was obtained considering von Mises stress, volume and COG acceleration of truck. And design of guardrail satisfying the domestic requirements was obtained.

In this paper, a new type of inchworm motion actuator is developed in fabrication of actuators for micro-press machine. This is consisted of three piezoelectric actuators, one is for moving the tool guide and the other are for clamping the guide. The inchworm motor provides both high load and large displacement in small size actuator. PZT has compressive strength and often fails under tensile stress and pulling. Thus, in order to prevent failure, we have designed pre-load housing and accomplished FEM analysis. The pre-load housing was used for determining the optimal design condition by comparing the von-mises stresses with the change of hinge stiffness. Also, in order to predict the performance of the motor under certain conditions, the system model was simulated using MATLAB. This is open loop control actuator and driven by the period of input voltage.

Stress analysis of the bogie frame by using the finite element method has been performed for the various loading conditions according to the results of vehicle dynamics analysis. Multiaxial fatigue analysis methods such as signed von Mises method, and typical critical plane theories were reviewed, and margin of safety for fatigue is defined. Multiaxial fatigue analysis program to predict the margin of safety of bogie frame under non-proportional loading conditions has been developed by using a commercial command language. Fatigue analysis of bogie frame under multiaxial loading was performed through this program and finite element analysis result. The procedure developed in this study is considered to be useful for the fatigue strength analysis in preliminary design stage of railway components under multiaxial loading condition.

The high precision analysis by the p-version of the finite element method are fairly well established as highly efficient method for linear elastic problems, especially in the presence of stress singularity. It has been noted that the merits of p-version are accuracy, modeling simplicity, robustness, and savings in user's and CPU time. However, little has been done to exploit their benefits in elasto-plastic analysis. In this paper, the p-version finite element model is proposed for the materially nonlinear analysis that is based on the incremental theory of plasticity, the associated flow rule, and von-Mises yield criteria. To obtain the solution of nonlinear equation, the Newton-Raphson method and initial stiffness method, etc are used. Several numerical examples are tested with the help of the square plates with cutout, the thick-walled cylinder under internal pressure, and the center cracked plate under tensile loading. Those results are compared with the there cal solutions and the numerical solutions of ADINA software.

In this paper, the optimized design for bow structure was investigated by using EDISON software. Considering the mechanism of the bow, non-linear FEM analysis was essential. The factors of the design are height, width, number of holes and taper value. High performance of the internal energy and lowest mass were main issues. The limit of the von-mises stress was yield strength for the material. Material was chosen by considering typical bow material, Aluminum. Using Taguchi method($L_9$), 9 models were selected and contribution rate was calculated for each factors. Following the contribution rate, 3 factors were fixed and optimized model was predicted. After making optimized model for FEM analysis, the value of internal-energy, mass for FEM model were compared with predicted value, calculated the percentage error and figure out the reliability of Taguchi method.

The mechanical responses of multilayered aluminum sheet fabricated by roll bonding, i.e., A1050/A3004 (65% A1050, 35% A3004 by thickness), were investigated via combined experiment and finite element (FE) analysis. The mechanical properties were measured using uniaxial tensile tests in various loading directions for the multilayered sheet. The corresponding tests for individual layers were also conducted. The testing samples were prepared by wire electro discharge machining (EDM). Stress-strain curves and Lankford coefficients of the multilayered sheet were then predicted by FE simulations. The measured mechanical properties of the individual layers were utilized as inputs for the simulation. Two yield functions, i.e., isotropic von-Mises and anisotropic non-quadratic Hill1948, were employed. Predicted results were compared with the experimental data and further discussed.

A field emission display has spacers separating the emitting base and display face. The arrangement of the spacer is important for maintenance of required clearance, endurance of bending stresses, and efficient vacuum sealing. Topology optimization technique with material density was introduced to select the best position of the spacers from the available positions. The displacement and Von Mises stress distribution of the panels with optimal spacers were calculated by finite element method. Also the design guide for adding eliminating spacers was proposed.

Recently, as the global warming by fossil fuels and the steep rise of the oil price become social issues, the interest for renewable energy producing system is increasing rapidly. Among these, the wind turbine is most highlighted because of its economic competitiveness. The tower is one of the main components of wind turbine, which occupying about 20% of overall turbine costs. The tower access door located to base part of the tower, is used to enter the tower. This is the main structural weak points because of door hole, weldment, etc. And so are the weldments between the cans and the flanges. In this study, for the top flange part of the tower, by FEM using ANSYS, we retrieved the maximum von Mises stress on that and carried out fatigue analysis using stresses at such weak points.

Static tensile and fatigue tests were conducted using tensile-shear specimens to evaluate the fatigue strength of a SPCC sheet clinch joint. The maximum tensile strength of the specimen produced at the optimal punching force was 1750 kN. The fatigue endurance limit (=760 N) approached 43% of the maximum tensile load (=1750 N) at a load ratio of 0.1, suggesting that the fatigue limit is approximately half of the value of the maximum tensile strength. The FEM analysis showed that at the fatigue endurance limit, the maximum von-Mises stress of 373 MPa is very close to the ultimate tensile strength of the SPCC sheet (=382 MPa).

Servo presses are used in variety of ways in industry throughout the production and assembly lines of machine parts. The bottom of the servo press is fixed to a bed or a tabletop, and the press cylinder continuously operates under vertical upward loads. In this research, a static structural analysis was performed by simplifying 3D model of the servo press, and the maximum deformation was applied to the clamp and bolt. The maximum value of Von Mises stress was reported in this paper. The result was used to calculate the safety factor, and it was confirmed that the design was conservative.
