자동차 배기계의 앞쪽에 배치된 촉매변환기는 배기가스 중 유해한 성분을 무해한 것으로 변환하는 제품이다. 이것의 중심부인 담체는 단면의 윤곽이 원형이나 타원형이고 내부는 미세한 격자형 벽으로 채워진다. 담체를 매트로 두르고 캔에 넣는 캐닝공정 중 과대한 압력을 받아서 담체가 취성파괴될 것이 염려된다. 담체의 파괴를 방지하고자 매트의 압력의 분포를 예측하는 유한요소 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이것은 Microsoft EXCEL로 작성되어 입출력이 모두 간편하다. 담체는 강체, 캔은 선형탄성체로 단순하게 취급하고 매트의 재료비선형성을 고려하였다. 캔은 굽힘과 균일인장이나 압축에 저항하는 것으로 모델링하였다. 편의상 요소의 갯수는 35개, 반복 횟수는 20회로 제한하였다. ABAQUS의 해석결과와 잘 일치하여 본 프로그램의 타당성을 입증하였다.

In-plane and out-of-plane free vibration analysis of Timoshenko curved beams is addressed based on the isogeometric method, and an effective scheme to avoid numerical locking in both of the two patterns is proposed in this paper. The isogeometric computational model takes into account the effects of shear deformation, rotary inertia and axis extensibility of curved beams, and is applicable for uniform circular beams, and more complicated variable curvature and cross-section beams as illustrated by numerical examples. Meanwhile, it is shown that, the $C^{p-1}$-continuous NURBS elements remarkably have higher accuracy than the finite elements with the same number of degrees of freedom. Nevertheless, for in-plane or out-of-plane vibration analysis of Timoshenko curved beams, the NURBS-based isogeometric method also exhibits locking effect to some extent. To eliminate numerical locking, the selective reduced one-point integration and $\bar{B}$ projection element based on stiffness ratio is devised to achieve locking free analysis for in-plane and out-of-plane models, respectively. The suggested integral schemes for moderately slender models obtain accurate results in both dominated and non-dominated regions of locking effect. Moreover, this strategy is effective for beam structures with different slenderness. Finally, the influence factors of structural parameters of curved beams on their natural frequency are scrutinized.

Current climate conditions along with advances in technology make further design and verification methods for structural strength and reliability of wind turbine towers imperative. Along with the growing interest for "green" energy, the wind energy sector has been developed tremendously the past decades. To this end, the improvement of wind turbine towers in terms of structural detailing and performance result in more efficient, durable and robust structures that facilitate their wider application, thus leading to energy harvesting increase. The wind tower industry is set to expand to greater heights than before and tapered steel towers with a circular cross-section are widely used as more capable of carrying heavier loads. The present study focuses on the improvement of the structural response of steel wind turbine towers, by means of internal stiffening. A thorough investigation of the contribution of stiffening rings to the overall structural behavior of the tower is being carried out. These stiffening rings are placed along the tower height to reduce local buckling phenomena, thus increasing the buckling strength of steel wind energy towers and leading the structure to a behavior closer to the one provided by the beam theory. Additionally to ring stiffeners, vertical stiffening schemes are studied to eliminate the presence of short wavelength buckles due to bending. For the purposes of this research, finite element analysis is applied in order to describe and predict in an accurate way the structural response of a model tower stiffened by internal stiffeners. Moreover, a parametric study is being performed in order to investigate the effect of the stiffeners' number to the functionality of the aforementioned stiffening systems and the improved structural behavior of the overall wind converter.
