It is very important to analyze the dynamic responses of the shell structures from the viewpoint of the design of shell structures with a variety of axisymmetric loadings. In this paper, the computational algorithm for the dynamic response analysis of an cylindrical shell with axisymmetric loading is formulated by the transfer mass coefficient method based on the transfer of mass coefficient. After the computational programs for obtaining the dynamic responses of cylindrical shells with axisymmetric loading are made by the transfer mass coefficient method and the finite element method, the computational results by both methods are compared. From the computational results, we can confirm that the transfer mass coefficient method has the effectiveness in the dynamic response analyses of cylindrical shells with a variety of axisymmetric loadings.

Blade-vortex interaction (BVI) is one of the most important phenomena in rotor flow since it causes undesirable intense vibration and noise. Since three dimensional Euler or Navier-Stokes solutions to BVI require very high computational cost, BVI has been approximated by airfoil-vortex interaction (AVI) in chordwise planes. To describe more realistic situations with AVI, three dimensional vortex informations such as position, core size and strength are embedded artificially to Computational Aeroacoustics (CAA) calculation at each computational time step. To implement this requirement, in this paper, a technique called free vortex embedded method was used. And the solution by this method was compared with the solution by conventional method for interaction between freely convected vortex and airfoil. For the application to three dimensional free vortex embedded CAA, two dimensional free vortex embedded CAA method was validated in advance.

In the present study, a practical method to predict cavitation erosion, which caused a critical damage on hydraulic machineries, was developed. Impact and critical velocities were defined to develop a practical method for the prediction of cavitation erosion. To develope the practical method, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was introduced. Cavitating flows with erosion in a converging-diverging nozzle and around a hydrofoil were simulated by developed and validated code. Based on the CFD results, the cavitation erosion coefficient was derived by a curve fitting method. The cavitation erosion coefficient was formulated as the function of the cavitation and Reynolds numbers. A cavitating flow in an axisymmetric nozzle followed by radial divergence was simulated to validate the developed practical method. For the application to a propeller, a cavitating flow around a propeller was simulated. Predicted damage extent showed similar with damaged full-scale propeller blade.

A new and efficient method is presented for design optimization, which is based on a computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The method is applied to design an airfoil configuration. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the viscous analysis of the flow, which provides the object function. The CFD analysis is then coupled with the optimization procedure that used a conjugate gradient method. During the one-dimensional search of the optimization procedure, an approximate flow analysis based on a first-order Taylor series expansion is used to reduce the computational cost, (This study is supported by Korean Ministry of Education through Research Fund)

This paper discusses the methods of computing tool-paths for machining free-form surfaces on 3-axis CNC machines in die and mould making. In computational view this paper describes the characteristics and issues of the geometric information and the shape, which make computing tool-paths difficult. Important points that should be considered in devising a computing method are also discussed. A newly implemented method is explained and compared with an old method for a commercial CAM system. The implemented method is used in a commercial CAM system and the computing time for an example is presented.

The Component Mode Synthesis Method for the -vibration analysis can be applied to the large-scaled structures, which have difficulty in modeling because of their intricate shapes and boundary conditions and need much time in computational calculations. This paper uses the Component Mode Synthesis Method to analyze the free vibration for the steel box bridge having the large number of D.O.F as an example of the large structural system. By comparing the CMS method to the other method (FEM), this paper proves the accuracy of the solution in techniques and the efficiency in time.

The aim of the present study is to develop an elemental approach based on the differential quadrature method for free vibration analysis of cracked thin plate structures. For this purpose, the equations of motion are established using the classical plate theory. The well-known Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is utilized to discretize the governing equations on each computational subdomain or element. In this method, the differential terms of a quantity field at a specific computational point should be expressed in a series form of the related quantity at all other sampling points along the domain. However, the existence of any geometric discontinuity, such as a crack, in a computational domain causes some problems in the calculation of differential terms. In order to resolve this problem, the multi-block or elemental strategy is implemented to divide such geometry into several subdomains. By constructing the appropriate continuity conditions at each interface between adjacent elements and a crack tip, the whole discretized governing equations of the structure can be established. Therefore, the free vibration analysis of a cracked thin plate will be provided via the achieved eigenvalue problem. The obtained results show a good agreement in comparison with those found by finite element method.

The adaptive wavelet method is studied for the enhancement of computational efficiency of three-dimensional flows. For implementation of the method for three-dimensional Euler equation, wavelet decomposition process is introduced based on the previous two-dimensional adaptive wavelet method. The order of numerical accuracy of an original solver is preserved by applying modified thresholding value. In order to assess the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, the method is applied to the computation of flow field around ONERA-M6 wing in transonic regime with 4th and 6th order interpolating polynomial respectively. Through the application, it is confirmed that the three-dimensional adaptive wavelet method can reduce the computational time while conserving the numerical accuracy of an original solver.
