This paper aims to study the large deflections of variable-arc-length elastica subjected to the terminal forces (e.g., axial force and torque). Based on Kirchhoff's rod theory and with help of Euler parameters, the set of nonlinear governing differential equations which free from the effect of singularity are established together with boundary conditions. The system of nonlinear differential equations is solved by using the shooting method with high accuracy integrator, seventh-eighth order Runge-Kutta with adaptive step-size scheme. The error norm of end conditions is minimized within the prescribed tolerance ($10^{-5}$). The behavior of VAL elastica is studied by two processes. One is obtained by applying slackening first. After that keeping the slackening as a constant and then the twist angle is varied in subsequent order. The other process is performed by reversing the sequence of loading in the first process. The results are interpreted by observing the load-deflection diagram and the stability properties are predicted via fold rule. From the results, there are many interesting aspects such as snap-through phenomenon, secondary bifurcation point, loop formation, equilibrium configurations and effect of variable-arc-length to behavior of elastica.

A new method to obtain explicit re-parameterization that preserves the curve degree and parametric domain is presented in this paper. The re-parameterization brings a curve very close to the arc length parameterization under $L_2$ norm but with less segmentation. The re-parameterization functions we used are $C^1$ continuous piecewise rational linear functions, which provide more flexibility and can be easily identified by solving a quadratic equation. Based on the outstanding performance of Mobius transformation on modifying pieces with monotonic parametric speed, we first create a partition of the original curve, in which the parametric speed of each segment is of monotonic variation. The values of new parameters corresponding to the subdivision points are specified a priori as the ratio of its cumulative arc length and its total arc length. $C^1$ continuity conditions are imposed to each segment, thus, with respect to the new parameters, the objective function is linear and admits a closed-form optimization. Illustrative examples are also given to assess the performance of our new method.

본 연구에서는 다양한 명시적 호장법을 사용하여 공간프레임의 반강접 탄소성 후좌굴 해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 이전 연구를 발전시켜 다양한 명시적 알고리즘의 호장법과 명시적, 묵시적 해석법에 동시에 적용 가능한 반강접 탄소성 공간프레임요소를 제안하였다. 다양한 명시적 호장법은 예측단계와 수렴단계에 명시적 해석법인 동적이완법을 적용한 것을 의미한다. 따라서 명시적 호장법에는 명시적(예측단계)-명시적(예측단계) 호장법, 명시적(예측단계)-묵시적(수렴단계) 호장법, 묵시적(예측단계)-명시적(수렴단계) 호장법으로 구분된다. 또한 명시적 호장법에 적용 가능하도록 수정된 반강접 탄소성 공간프레임요소는 오일러리안 유한변형이론에 의해 강체회전변형을 고려하였기 때문에 대변위가 발생하는 기하학적 비선형 문제에 적용될 수 있고, 완전 탄소성 소성힌지 알고리즘에 의한 재료적 비선형성을 고려하였으며, 부재내부에 정적 응축된 회전 및 축방향 성분의 선형 스프링에 의해 접합부 반강접 특성을 반영하였다. 제안된 해석법을 이용하여 검증예제를 수행함으로써 본 연구에서 제안된 다양한 명시적 호장법 및 공간프레임요소의 정확성을 검증한다.

This paper considers large deflection problem of a simply supported beam with variable are length subjected to a point load. The beam has one of its ends hinged and at a fixed distance from this end propped by a frictionless support over which the beam can slide freely. This highly nonlinear flexural problem is solved by elliptic-integral method and shooting-optimization technique, thereby providing independent checks on the new solutions. Because the beam can slide freely over the frictionless support, there is a maximum or critical load which the beam can carry and it is dependent on the position of the load. Interestingly, two possible equilibrium configurations can be obtained for a given load magnitude which is less than the critical value. The maximum arc-length was found to be equal to about 2.19 times the fixed distance between the supports and this value is independent of the load position.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a method for measuring breast size from three-dimensional (3D) body scan image data. Background: Previous bra studies established reference points by directly contacting the subject's naked skin to determine the boundary of the breast. But some subjects were uncomfortable with these types of measurements. This study examined noncontact methods of extracting breast reference points from 3D body scan data that were collected while subjects were wearing standardized soft bras. Method: 3D body scan data of 32 Korean women were analyzed. The subjects were selected from the Size Korea 2010 study. The breast landmarks were identified by graphic analyses of slicing contour lines on 3D body scan data. Results: Three methods determining bra cup size were compared. The M1 and M2 methods determined cup size by calculating the difference between bust girth and under-bust girth. The M3 method determined bra cup size by measuring breast arc length. Conclusion: The researchers proposed an anthropometric bra cup sizing system with the breast arc length (M3 method). It was measured from the geometrically defined landmarks on the 3D body scan slicing contour lines. The new bra cup size was highly correlated with breast depth. Application: The noncontact measuring method used in this study can be applied to the ergonomic studies measuring sensitive body parts.

이 논문은 한개의 집중하중을 받는 단순지지 변화곡선길이 보에 관한 연구이다. Bernoulli-Euler 보 이론에 의하여 정확탄성곡선을 지배하는 미분방정식을 유도하고 이를 수치해석하여 정확탄성곡선의 거동값들을 예측하였다. 미분방정식을 적분하기 위하여 Runge-Kutta method를 이용하고, 단부의 회전각을 산출하기 위하여 Regula-Falsi method를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서의 수치해석 결과들은 문헌값들과 매우 잘 일치하여 본 연구방법의 타당성을 입증하였다. 수치해석의 결과로 정확탄성곡선의 거동값과 하중사이의 관계 및 한계거동값과 하중위치변수 사이의 관계를 각각 그림에 나타내었다. 수치해석의 결과를 분석하여 변화곡선길이 보에서 발생가능한 최대 단부회전각, 최대 처짐 및 최대 휨모멘트를 산정하였다.

최근 박판두재인 고장력강이 구조물에 폭넓게 사용됨으로서 좌굴이 발생하기 쉽다. 특히 고장력강을 사용하는 선체구조물에서는 좌굴은 중요한 설계기준이 되고 있다. 따라서 좌굴발생 후 거동을 정확하게 파악하는 것은 선체구조의 안정성에 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 선체의 대표적인 구조물인 판을 대상으로 각 선급 룰에서 좌굴강도식의 기준으로 삼고 있는 단순지지조건에서의 여러 가지 항복강도에 따라 압축하중을 받는 박판구조물의 초기좌굴 후 거동과 2차좌굴 후 거동에 대해서 규명하였다. 해석방법으로는 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하였고 2차좌굴과 같은 복잡한 비선형거동을 해석하기 위하여 호장증분법(Arc-length method)을 사용하였다.

In this paper, A circular arc crackered plate in biaxially stretched sheets was investigated in the boundary element method. The applications of fracture mechanics have traditionally concentrated on crack problems under an mode I, straight crack. However, many service failures occur from growth of cracks subjected to mixed mode loadings. A rectangular plate with arc crack or slanted central crack, under biaxial tensile loading, was treated analytically and also solved numerically. The Results from BEM applying different loading conditions, crack length (a/W), arc angle($\alpha$) are presented and discussed. The stress intensity factors are evaluated by the techniques of the J-integral. The decomposition method, used to decouple the stress intensity factors in mixed mode problems, is implemented by a considering a small circular contour path around each crack tip. The BIE method was successfully applied to a circular arc crackerd plate problem, also slanted centre cracked plate under mixed mode.

This paper deals with the implementation of forced reclosing the transmission line. Because the ground circuit breaker method decrease the secondary arc current sufficiently, the reclosing time can be reduced. As the secondary arc current is large and its residual time is long in UHV transmission line, this method is more effective in that system. The resistance of ground circuit breaker which minimize the secondary arc current is determined according to the system voltage and the length of transmission line.
