In general, the vibration and structural analyses have been carried out by using each finite element model separately because of different size of finite element mesh and different focusing area of each analysis. In some cases, however, it is required to perform both global vibration and structural analyses at the same time using a finite element model for global structural analysis, which asks for a special treatment for a vibration analysis. In this study, a technique to perform a global vibration analysis using a finite element model for a global structural analysis has been developed and its effectiveness has been verified by its application to a whole ship.

A novel 3D shape optimization algorithm is presented for electromagnetic devices carry-ing eddy current. The algorithm integrates the 3D finite element performance analysis and the steepest descent method with design sensitivity and mesh relocation method. For the design sensitivity formula, the adjoint variable vector is defined in complex form based on the 3D finite element method for eddy current problems. A new 3D mesh relocation method is also proposed using the deformation theory of the elastic body under stress to renew the mesh as the shape changes. The design sensitivity f3r the sur-face nodal points is also systematically converted into that for the design variables for the parameterized optimization application. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimum design of the tank shield model of the transformer and the effectiveness is proved.

One of the most important factor to be considered for the analysis of sheet metal forming processes is the tool surface description for arbitrarily- shaped sheet metal parts. In the present study , finite element approach is used to describe the arbitrarily shaped tool surface. In finite element mesh approach, tool surfaces ar, described by finite elements. The finite elements mesh description of the tool surface, which is originally described by CAD data, needs much time and time-consuming graphic operation. The method, however, has been widely used to describe a complex tool surface. In the present study, the contact searching algorithm for the finite element mesh approach is developed based on cell strategy method and sheet surface normal scheme. For the verification purpose, a clover cup drawing, Baden-Baden oilpan problem and a trunk floor drawing were investigated. The computational results based on the finite element approach were compared with the results of available parametric patch approach and experiments.

The non-linear static analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using the three-dimensional (3D) finite element method is a time-consuming and challenging task. Moreover, this type of analysis encounters numerical problems such as the lack of convergence of results in the stages of growth and propagation of cracks in the structure. The time integration analysis along with the mass scaling (MS) technique is usually used to overcome these limitations. Despite the use of this method in the 3D finite element analysis of RC structures, a comprehensive study has not been conducted so far to assess the effects of the MS method on the accuracy of results. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the MS method in the non-linear quasi-static finite element analysis of RC structures. To this aim, different types of RC structures were simulated using the finite element approach based on the implicit time integration method and the mass scaling technique. The influences of effective parameters of the MS method (i.e., the allowable values of increase in the mass of the RC structure, the relationship between the duration of the applied load and fundamental vibration period of the RC structure, and the pattern of applied loads) on the accuracy of the simulated results were investigated. The accuracy of numerical simulation results has been evaluated through comparison with existing experimental data. The results of this study show that the achievement of accurate structural responses in the implicit time integration analyses using the MS method involves the appropriate selection of the effective parameters of the MS method.

도파관(waveguide)은 전자기파를 원하는 방향으로 안내하는 전송선로로 의료기기, 레이더 시스템, 위성 통신 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 도파관의 설계 및 최적화를 위해서는 전자기 수치해석(CEM: Computational Electromagnetics)이 필수적이다. 수치해석 기법의 하나인 유한요소법(FEM: Finite Element Method)은 도파관과 같은 닫힌 영역 내부의 전자기 문제를 해결하는데 효율적이며 이를 적용하기 위해서는 계산영역을 한정시키기 위한 경계조건이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 계산영역 밖으로 나가는 전자파의 반사를 최소화하기 위한 흡수경계조건(ABC: Absorbing Boundary Condition)과 주 모드 뿐만 아니라 고차 모드까지 흡수할 수 있는 도파관 포트 경계조건(WPBC: Waveguide Port Boundary Condition)을 각각 적용하여 2/D 및 3/D 도파관 구조에 대한 전자기 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이후, 대표적인 전자파 상용 소프트웨어인 HFSS와의 결과 비교를 통해 해석의 정확성을 검증하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 WPBC를 적용하면 ABC보다 더 작은 해석 영역으로 구조 해석이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Finite element analyses of structures made of the fiber reinforced composites require an adequate method to characterize the high anisotropic behavior induced by one or several layers of fiber cords with different spatial orientation embedded in a rubber matrix. This paper newly proposes a continuum based rebar element considering change of the orientation of the fiber during deformation of the composite. The mechanical behavior of the embedded fiber is modeled using two-node bar elements in order to consider the relative deformation and spatial orientation of the embedded fiber. For improvement of the analysis accuracy, the load-displacement curve of fiber is applied to the stiffness matrix of fiber. A finite element program is constructed based on the total Lagrangian formulation considering both geometric and material nonlinearity. Finite element analyses of the tensile test are carried out in order to evaluate the validity of the proposed method. Analysis results obtained with the proposed method provides realistic representation of the fiber reinforced rubber composite compared to results of other two models by the Halpin-Tsai equation and a rebar element in ABAQUS/Standard.

This paper presents an analysis of the 3D microwave oven considering its forming. The results were compared with experimental data. Finite Element Method(FEM) using edge clement is employed for the analysis. For solving the large sparse system matrix equation was solved using the parallelized QMR method. Analysis of the 3d cavity has troublesome difficulties such as spurious solutions, too many memory and long computation time. We overcome this difficulties by using edge clement for spurious solutions and the parallelized QMR method by the aid of Paralle Virtual Machine(PVM) for the memory and computation time.

Hot stamping, which is the hot pressing of special steel sheet using a cold die, can combine ease of shaping with high strength mechanical properties due to the hardening effect of rapid quenching. In this paper, a thermo-mechanical analysis of hot stamping using the finite element method in conjunction with phase transformations was performed in order to investigate the plastic deformation behavior, temperature history, and mechanical properties of the stamped car part. We also conducted a fully coupled thermo-mechanical analysis during the stamping and rapid quenching process to obtain the mechanical properties with the consideration of the effects of plastic deformation and phase transformation on the temperature histories at each point in the part. The finite element analysis could provide key information concerning the temperature histories and the sheet mechanical properties when the phase transformation is properly considered. Such an analysis can also be used to determine the effect of cyclic cooling on the tooling.

The backward extrusion process is one of the commonly used metal forming processes. In this paper. a battery case which has the rectangular section, is analyzed using a 3D metal forming package(MSC.Superforge). This pacakge uses the finite volume analysis method. It is shown that the MSC.Superforge package using finite volume method provides result very close to those obtained from a finite element analysis package(MSC.Superform). However, the simulation time using the finite volume method was almost 10 % of the simulation time consumed by the other package using finite element method. Moreover, the finite volume method used in MSC.Superforge can eliminate the remeshing problems that make the simulating a metal forming process with severe deformation, such as the extrusion process, so difficult.

This paper proposes the calculation method of magnetic coupling coefficient of the contactless energy transmission system by 3D finite element method with a variation of the secondary core positions. The primary, secondary self and leakage inductances and the capacitances of a resonant circuit are calculated by the finite element analysis results. From these values, the magnetic coupling coefficients are obtained. The secondary voltages and currents according to the secondary core positions are calculated by using the resonant circuit and compared.
