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.

A numerical algorithm is developed to analyze the performance of a Unit-injector (UI) System for a diesel engine. The fundamental theory of the algorithm is based on the continuity equation of fluid dynamics. The loss factors that should be seriously regarded on the continuity equation are the compressibility effect of liquid fuel, the wall friction loss in high-pressure fuel lines of the system, the kinetic energy loss of fuel in the system, and the leakage of fuel out of the control volume. For an evaluation of the developed simulation algorithm, the calculation results are compared with the experimental outputs provided by the Technical Research Center of Doowon Precision Industry Co. (DPICO) ； the maximum pressure in the plunger chamber (P$\_$p/) and total amount of fuel injected into a cylinder per cycle (Q$\_$f/) at each operational condition. The result shows that the average error rate (%) of P$\_$p/ and Q$\_$f/ are 2.90% and 4.87%, respectively, in the specified operational conditions. Hence, it can be concluded that the analytical simulation algorithm developed in this study can be reasonably applied to the performance prediction of newly designed UI system.

Topological matrix which reflects characteristics of network connectivity has been widely used in efficient solving for complicated flow network. Using topological matrix, one can easily define continuity at each node of flow network and make algorithm to automatically generate continuity equation of matrix form. In order to analyze flow network completely it is required to satisfy energy conservation in closed loops of flow network. Fundamental cycle retrieving algorithm based on graph theory automatically constructs energy conservation equation in closed loops. However, it is often accompanied by NP-complete problem. In addition, it always needs fundamental cycle retrieving procedure for every structural change of flow network. This paper proposes alternative mathematical method to analyze flow network without fundamental cycle retrieving algorithm. Consequently, the new mathematical method is expected to reduce solving time and prevent error occurrence by means of simplifying flow network analysis procedure.

A new three-node triangular shell element based on higher order zig-zag theory is developed for laminated composite shells with multiple delaminations. The present higher order zig-zag shell theory is described in a general curvilinear coordinate system and in general tensor notation. All the complicated curvatures of surface including twisting curvatures can be described in an exact manner in the present shell element because this element is based on geometrically exact surface representation. The displacement field of the proposed finite element includes slope of deflection. which requires continuity between element interfaces. Thus the nonconforming shape function of Specht's three-node triangular plate bending element is employed to interpolate out-of-plane displacement. The present element passes the bending and twisting patch tests in flat surface configurations. The developed element is evaluated through the buckling problems of composite cylindrical shells with multiple delaminations. Through the numerical examples it is demonstrated that the proposed shell element is efficient because it has minimal degrees of freedom per node. The accuracy of the present element is demonstrated in the prediction of buckling loads and buckling modes of shells with multiple delaminations. The present shell element should serve as a powerful tool in the prediction of buckling loads and modes of multi-layered thick laminated shell structures with arbitrary-shaped multiple delaminations.

본 연구는 복합체의 단부영향을 고려한 등각균등질, 이방성의 모델개발과 이에따른 유한요소해석 프로그램 개발에 중점을 두었다. 복합체는 2차원의 수평층을 가지며 선형, 탄성, 작은변형에 제한을 두었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 등가 균등질의 이론은 복합체의 전반적인 거동을 포함시킴은 물론 층과 수직인 경계면과 그 부근에 형성되는 단부의 영향과 층의 경계면에 생기는 응력집중 현상을 나타낼 수 있게 하였다. 이론개발에 있어 1차변수는 $C_0$연속의 유한요소 근사치를 가지도록 하였으며 이를위해 최고 1차의 미분치가 변형에너지에 나타나도록 변수를 택하였다. 결과적으로 유한요소해석은 매우 간단하고 경제적이었으며 이들의 정당성과 정확도를 입증하기위하여 여러하중 조건하의 복합체를 풀이하였다.

The article is about the theoretical analysis of the transmission and reflection of elastic waves through the interface of perfectly connected materials. The solid continuum mediums considered are piezoelectric semiconductors and transversely isotropic in nature. The connection among the mediums is considered in such a way that it holds the continuity property of field variables at the interface. The concept of strain and stress introduced by non-local theory is also being involved to make the study more applicable It is found that, the incident wave results in the generation of four reflected and three transmitted waves including the thermal and elastic waves. The thermal waves generated in the medium are encountered by using the concept of three phase lag heat model along with fractional ordered time thermoelasticity. The results obtained are calculated graphically for a ZnO material with piezoelectric semiconductor properties for medium M₁ and CdSc material with transversely isotropic elastic properties for medium M₂. The influence of fractional order parameter, non-local parameter, and steady carrier density parameter on the amplitude ratios of reflected and refraction waves are studied graphically by MATLAB.

Free vibration analysis of power law and sigmoidal sandwich plates made up of functionally graded materials (FGMs) has been carried out using finite element based higher-order zigzag theory. The present model satisfies all-important conditions such as transverse shear stress-free conditions at the plate's top and bottom surface along with continuity condition for transverse stresses at the interface. A Nine-noded C0 finite element having eleven degrees of freedom per node is used during the study. The present model is free from the requirement of any penalty function or post-processing technique and hence is computationally efficient. The present model's effectiveness is demonstrated by comparing the present results with available results in the literature. Several new results have been proposed in the present work, which will serve as a benchmark for future works. It has been observed that the material variation law, power-law exponent, skew angle, and boundary condition of the plate widely determines the free vibration behavior of sandwich functionally graded (FG) plate.

본 논문에서는 고차미분 연속성을 가지는 형상함수에 기초하여 오일러-베르누이 보 유한요소모델을 정식화하였으며, 다양한 경계조건들에 대하여 그 성능을 평가하였다. 이러한 유한요소 모델들은 새로이 개발되는 고차 보 이론들과 논로컬 탄성이론에 기초한 보 이론들의 유한요소해석에 필요하다. 그러나 고차 연속성을 가지는 유한요소에 대한 성능평가는 문헌에서 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $C^2$ 및 $C^3$ 두 종류의 고차 유한요소들을 정식화하여 외팔보, 단순지지, 고정-힌지 등의 경계조건들을 적용하고 정적해석을 수행하였다. 고전적인 경계조건들 이외에도 고차 경계조건들이 보의 거동에 미치는 영향을 비교분석하였다. 경계조건에 따라서는 처짐의 미분 값들이 경계주변에서 진동하는 현상이 관찰되었으며, 이는 기하학적 경계조건들에 대하여 뚜렷이 나타난다. 특히 고정단과 같은 경계에서의 변위의 고차미분 조건은 이러한 불안정한 현상을 유발한다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과들은 고차 미분 연속성을 가지는 유한요소 이용에 가이드라인으로서 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 3차원 층구조체의 복합이론 및 유한요소해석 프로그램의 개발에 목적이 있다. 3차원 층구조체는 선형, 탄성, 등방성의 작은 변위에 제한을 두었으며, 변위를 나타내기 위하여 global 좌표축외에 local 좌표축을 사용하는 multiscale 의 방법을 이용하였다. 유한요소법의 적용시 요구되는 주종속 변수들은 $C_o$ 연속성을 만족하도록 택하여 해석하였으며 그결과 해석이 아주 간편하였으며 계산과정이 매우 경제적이었다. 지금까지 개발되어온 대개의 복합이론은 중첩의 원리를 사용하여 비선형 해석에는 쉽게 적용될 수 없었으나 본 연구에서 개발한 복합이론은 비선형해석에 용이하게 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 복합이론의 정당성과 사용성을 입증하기 위하여 2차원 및 3차원의 탄성받침을 해석하여 이산화해석의 결과치와 비교, 검토하였다.
