유연한 혈관벽을 가진 경동맥 분지관을 흐르는 혈액의 유동을 해석하기 위하여 비정상상태, 비압축성, 뉴턴 유체를 가정한 3차원 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 유체영역은 P2P1 유한요소를 사용하였으며, 격자의 움직임을 모사하기 위하여 arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian 기법을 적용하였다. Newmark 관계식을 이용하여 고체영역의 선형탄성 방정식의 변수들을 속도에 관한 방정식으로 간략화하였으며, 유체와 고체의 운동에 관하여 완전 결합된 공식을 얻었다. 맥동의 한 주기 동안에 혈관벽의 유연성이 유동장에 큰 영향을 미치며, 경동맥 분지각이 커짐에 따라 경동맥 공동에서 유동장의 정체영역이 더 넓게 분포한다는 연구결과를 얻었다.

고속 및 고효율의 해양 수송수단에 대한 필요성이 점차 증가되면서 위그선(WIG: Wing in Ground effect)이 차세대 수송수단으로 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이러한 고속 해양 수송선의 구조설계 시 수면에 대한 충격하중은 중요하게 고려되어야 할 하중요소 중의 하나이며 착수하중에 의한 동적거동은 손상을 초래하는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 위그선 착수 시 수면 충격하중에 대한 수치해석을 통해 선체의 동적거동을 평가하였다. 착수환경에서의 수면충격하중을 ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) 유한요소법을 적용하여 해석을 수행하였으며 3차원 쉘요소를 적용한 전기체 모델을 개발하여 위그선의 착수환경에서 선체의 동적거동을 모사하였다. 착수환경은 정상 착수조건과 측풍에 의한 비정상 착수조건 두 가지를 고려하여 해석을 수행하였으며 이러한 착수환경이 위그선 구조의 정적 구조 안정성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다

A numerical model for analyzing air-train-track interaction is proposed to investigate the dynamic behavior of a high-speed train running on a track in crosswinds. The model is composed of a train-track interaction model and a train-air interaction model. The train-track interaction model is built on the basis of the vehicle-track coupled dynamics theory. The train-air interaction model is developed based on the train aerodynamics, in which the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is employed to deal with the dynamic boundary between the train and the air. Based on the air-train-track model, characteristics of flow structure around a high-speed train are described and the dynamic behavior of the high-speed train running on track in crosswinds is investigated. Results show that the dynamic indices of the head car are larger than those of other cars in crosswinds. From the viewpoint of dynamic safety evaluation, the running safety of the train in crosswinds is basically controlled by the head car. Compared with the generally used assessment indices of running safety such as the derailment coefficient and the wheel-load reduction ratio, the overturning coefficient will overestimate the running safety of a train on a track under crosswind condition. It is suggested to use the wheel-load reduction ratio and the lateral wheel-rail force as the dominant safety assessment indices when high-speed trains run in crosswinds.

본 논문에서는 Hoek-Brown (HB) 파괴기준을 Holmquist-Johnson-Cook (HJC) 콘크리트 재료모델에 접목시킴으로써 LS-DYNA 상에서 암반발파를 모델링할 때 현장암반의 고유한 특성이 잘 반영될 수 있도록 도모하였다. 이것은 많은 지질학적 불연속면을 포함하고 있는 현장암반이 지니고 있는 독특한 특징을 강조하기 위함이다. 두 모델의 접목은 HB 파괴기준으로 HJC 재료모델의 정적 강도 부분을 교체함으로써 이루어지며, 교체과정은 통계학적 곡선적합 기법에 의해 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 접목의 과정이 상세하게 소개되며, 획득된 HJC 재료모델의 사용에 대한 실례도 제시된다. 제시된 수치계산은 현장의 석회암 암반의 단일공 발파에 대한 평면변형률 모델링으로서 LS-DYNA가 제공하는 유체-구조물 상호작용(FSI) 기법과 다중재료 라그랑주-오일러(MMALE) 정식화 기법을 조합하여 수행된다.

This paper presents a hybrid numerical approach, which combines a two-phase Navier-Stokes model (NS) and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT), for modelling wave-structure interaction. The former governs the computational domain near the structure, where the viscous and turbulent effects are significant, and is solved by OpenFOAM/InterDyMFoam which utilising the finite volume method (FVM) with a Volume of Fluid (VOF) for the phase identification. The latter covers the rest of the domain, where the fluid may be considered as incompressible, inviscid and irrotational, and solved by using the Quasi Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method (QALE-FEM). These two models are weakly coupled using a zonal (spatially hierarchical) approach. Considering the inconsistence of the solutions at the boundaries between two different sub-domains governed by two fundamentally different models, a relaxation (transitional) zone is introduced, where the velocity, pressure and surface elevations are taken as the weighted summation of the solutions by two models. In order to tackle the challenges associated and maximise the computational efficiency, further developments of the QALE-FEM have been made. These include the derivation of an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian FNPT and application of a robust gradient calculation scheme for estimating the velocity. The present hybrid model is applied to the numerical simulation of a fixed horizontal cylinder subjected to a unidirectional wave with or without following current. The convergence property, the optimisation of the relaxation zone, the accuracy and the computational efficiency are discussed. Although the idea of the weakly coupling using the zonal approach is not new, the present hybrid model is the first one to couple the QALE-FEM with OpenFOAM solver and/or to be applied to numerical simulate the wave-structure interaction with presence of current.

Air gun shock systems are commonly used as alternative explosion energy sources for underwater explosion (UNDEX) shock tests owing to their low cost and environmental impact. The airbag inflator of automotive airbag systems is also very useful to generate extremely rapid underwater gas release in labscale tests. To overcome the restrictions on the very small computational time step owing to the very fine fluid mesh around the nozzle hole in the explicit integration algorithm, and also the absence of a commercial solver and software for gas UNDEX of airbag inflator, an idealized airbag inflator and fluid mesh modeling technique was developed using nozzle holes of relatively large size and several small TNT charges instead of gas inside the airbag inflator. The objective of this study is to validate the results of an UNDEX response analysis of one and two idealized airbag inflators by comparison with the results of shock tests in a small water tank. This comparison was performed using the multi-material Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation and fluid-structure interaction algorithm. The number, size, vertical distance from the nozzle outlet, detonation velocity, and lighting times of small TNT charges were determined. Through mesh size convergence tests, the UNDEX response analysis and idealized airbag inflator modeling were validated.

Residual capacity is defined as the load carrying capacity of an RC column after undergoing severe damage. Evaluation of residual capacity of RC columns is necessary to avoid damage initiation in RC structures. The central aspect of the current research is to propose an empirical formula to estimate the residual capacity of RC columns after undergoing severe damage. This formula facilitates decision making of whether a replacement or a repair of the damaged column is adequate for further use. Available literature mainly focused on the simulation of explosion loads by using simplified pressure time histories to develop residual capacity of RC columns and rarely simulated the actual explosive. Therefore, there is a gap in the literature concerning general relation between blast damage of columns with different explosive loading conditions for a reliable and quick evaluation of column behavior subjected to blast loading. In this paper, the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) technique is implemented to simulate high fidelity blast pressure propagations. LS-DYNA software is utilized to solve the finite element (FE) model. The FE model is validated against the practical blast tests, and outcomes are in good agreement with test results. Multivariate linear regression (MLR) method is utilized to derive an analytical formula. The analytical formula predicts the residual capacity of RC columns as functions of structural element parameters. Based on intensive numerical simulation data, it is found that column depth, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, concrete strength and column width have significant effects on the residual axial load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete column under blast loads. Increasing column depth and longitudinal reinforcement ratio that provides better confinement to concrete are very effective in the residual capacity of RC column subjected to blast loads. Data obtained with this study can broaden the knowledge of structural response to blast and improve FE models to simulate the blast performance of concrete structures.

This paper presents a new approach to simulate fluid-solid interaction problems involving non-matching interfaces. The coupling between fluid and solid domains with dissimilar finite element meshes consisting of 4-node quadrilateral elements is achieved by using the interface element method (IEM). Conditions of compatibility between fluid and solid meshes are satisfied exactly by introducing the interface elements defined on interfacing regions. Importantly, a consistent transfer of loads through matching interface element meshes guarantees the present method to be an efficient approach of the solution strategy to fluid-solid interaction problems. An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description is adopted for the fluid domain, while for the solid domain an updated Lagrangian formulation is considered to accommodate finite deformations of an elastic structure. The stabilized equal order velocity-pressure elements for incompressible flows are used in the motion of fluids. Fully coupled equations are solved simultaneously in a single computational domain. Numerical results are presented for fluid-solid interaction problems involving nonmatching interfaces to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.

A numerical prediction method has been proposed to predict non-linear free surface oscillation in a three-dimensional container. The fluid motions are numerically predicted with Navier-Stokes equations discretized in a Lagrangian scheme with sufficient numerical accuracy. The profile of a free surface is precisely represented with three-dimensional body-fitted coordinates (BFC), which are regenerated in each computational step on the basis of the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation. In order to confirm the reliability of the computational method, it was firstly applied to three-dimensional flows within complicated-shaped rigid boundaries, such as curved pipes and ducts. Than it was applied to benchmark computations related to free surface oscillations. Following these basic verifications, non-linear sloshings in a cylindrical tank and transitions from sloshing to swirling motions were numerically predicted. Throughout these computations, the applicability of the present computational method has been confirmed and some of the predicted free surface motions were visualized as sequential images and animations to understand their dynamic futures.

항공기용 연료탱크는 평상시에는 연료저장 등의 단순한 기능을 한다. 그러나, 항공기 추락과 같은 긴급 상황에서는 연료탱크 구조건전성은 승무원의 생존과 직결되므로, 관련 성능의 보유 여부를 충돌충격시험을 통해 입증하도록 규정되어 있다. 충돌충격시험은 높은 충격하중으로 실패 위험이 높기 때문에 설계 초기 실물시험에서의 시행착오 가능성을 최소화하기 위한 노력이 진행되어 왔다. 실제 시험 전에 수행하는 수치해석도 그러한 노력의 일환이다. 하지만, 수치해석 결과가 설계에 반영되기 위해서는 수치해석의 신뢰성 확보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 회전익항공기 연료탱크의 충돌충격시험 수치해석의 신뢰성 확보를 위해 수치해석 결과와 시험 데이타 간의 비교를 수행하였다. 수치해석은 충돌전용 소프트웨어인 LS-DYNA을 사용하였고, 해석방법은 유체-구조연성해석 방법 중 ALE(arbitary lagrangian eulerian) 방법을 적용하였다. 시험데이터 확보를 위해 연료탱크 금속 피팅부에 변형률게이지를 설치하고 데이터 획득장비와 연동시켰다. 수치해석 결과로써 연료탱크 피팅부의 변형률과 응력을 계산하였다. 그리고, 실물 연료탱크로 수행한 충돌충격시험을 통하여 확보한 상부피팅의 변형률 측정값과 수치해석으로 계산된 변형률과의 오차를 평가함으로써 수치해석의 신뢰성을 제고하였다.
