Perforated plates are used for the steam generator tube-sheet and the Reactor Vessel Closure Head in the Nuclear Power Plant. The ASME code, Section III Appendix A-8000, addresses the analysis of perforated plates, however, this analysis is only limited to the flat plate with a triangular perforation pattern. Based on the concept of the effective elastic constants, simulation of flat and spherical perforated plates and their equivalent solid plates were carried out using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The isotropic material properties of the perforated plate were replaced with anisotropic material properties of the equivalent solid plate and subjected to the same loading conditions. The generated curves of effective elastic constants vs ligament efficiency for the flat perforated plate were in agreement with the design curve provided by ASME code. With this result, a plate with spherical curvature having perforations can be conveniently analyzed with equivalent elastic modulus and equivalent Poisson's ratio.

In this study, we proposed a method to replace the solid finite element model of the boiler membrane wall for coal-fired power plants using an equivalent shell model. The application of a bending load to the membrane wall creates greater displacement at both ends of the central portion when compared with the middle when an isotropic elastic constant is used in the shell model. This is inconsistent with the results of the solid model where the central portion is uniformly deformed. Here, we presented a method to determine the orthotropic elastic constants of the shell model in terms of bending stiffness and vibration characteristics to solve this problem. Our analysis of the orthotropic shell model showed that the error ratio was 0.9% for the maximum displacement due to the bending load, 0.3% for the first natural frequency, and 2.5% for the second natural frequency when compared with the solid model. In conclusion, a complicated boiler membrane wall composed of a large number of pipes and fins can be replaced with a simple shell model that shows equivalent bending stiffness and vibration characteristics using our proposed method.

In this paper, a new method to estimate stress status in metal nondestructively by using nonlinear dependency of sound speed on stress is proposed. For the purpose, equivalent nonlinear elastic constants up to fourth-order are introduced and a new characteristic parameter given as a function of these constants is presented. And a concrete system to measure the characteristic parameter is constructed by electromagnetic pumping wave and ultrasonic probing wave system. Some experimental results for Al alloy showed that the estimation of stress status in metal is possible by the proposed method.

본 논문은 구조물의 미시적 측면에서 유효평균탄성계수를 결정하기 위한 균질화기법인 점근적 방법을 적용하였고, 탄성값을 조사하기 위하여 유한요소법으로 정식화하였다. 수치 예로서 물성치가 각기 다른 등방성 재료를 적층한 부재의 임의 단면에서 단위요소를 해석영역으로 설정하고 산출된 탄성계수를 기존의 해석방법으로부터 산출된 값과 비교하였다. 균질화기법으로 산출된 탄성계수는 과소평가되어 나타나며, 이는 해석영역을 유한요소 정식화하는 과정에서 수정항만큼 차이가 난다는 것을 증명하였다. 기존 해석방법으로는 복합재료의 탄성계수가 단순히 재료의 산술적 평균값으로 계산되는 것과는 달리, 미시적으로 복합재 단위요소의 반복성을 고려함으로써 제안된 해석방법이 보다 유용하다는 것을 보여 주었다.

본 논문에서는 Biomorphic C/SiC 복합재료에 대하여 단위구조해석을 수행하였다. 소나무와 뉴송을 탄화하고 실리콘을 함침해 제조한 복합재료의 미세조직을 사각배열과 육각배열로 가정해 단위구조를 정의하고 등가물성치를 계산하였다. 단위구조의 크기가 동일하지 않은 경우도 고려하였고, 또한 공극의 배열에 따른 물성치의 변화를 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 조사하였다.

For a perforated plate, it is challenging to develop a finite element model due to the necessity of the fine meshing of the plate, especially if it is submerged in fluid. This necessitates the use of a solid plate with equivalent material properties. Unfortunately, the effective elastic constants suggested by the ASME code are deemed not valid for a modal analysis. Therefore, in this study the equivalent material properties of a perforated plate are suggested by performing several finite element analyses with respect to the ligament efficiencies.

샌드위치 판은 질량에 비해 높은 강성과 강도를 갖고 있으므로 매우 효율적인 구조재로서 폭넓게 쓰이고 있다. 알루미늄 압출 샌드위치 판의 적절한 설계를 위하여는 역학적 거동 해석이 선행되어야 하나, 아직 이에 대한 연구는 미비한 상태이다. 코어가 채워져 있지 않은 중공 단면(hollow section)인 샌드위치 판의 역학적 거동 해석에는 일반적으로 상세 유한 요소 해석을 하게되나, 이는 모델링과 해석에 많은 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 트러스(truss) 형상의 심재를 갖는 샌드위치 구조 압출재를 이방성의 판으로 치환하여 해석하는 방법을 제시하였다 적절한 이방성 후판으로의 치환을 위해 등가의 강성을 평가하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 이 등가의 강성을 판 이론에 적용하여 균일 분포 하중을 받는 사변 단순지지 조건의 알루미늄 압출재에 대한 처짐과 응력에 대해 간이 해석식을 개발하였다. 아울러 상용 유한 요소 프로그램을 이용하여 계산한 결과와 비교한 결과 제시한 간이식의 높은 정도와 효율성이 입증되었다.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the limitation of ASTM D 198 bending and ASTM D 3044 in determination of elastic modulus and shear modulus. Different material properties and span to depth ratios were used to analyze the effects of material property and testing conditions. The ratio of true elastic modulus to apparent elastic modulus evaluated from ASTM D 198 bending sharply decreased with increment of span to depth ratio. Shear modulus evaluated from ASTM D 198 bending decreased with increment of depth, whereas shear modulus evaluated from ASTM D 3044 was hardly influenced by increment of depth. Poisson's ratio influenced shear modulus from ASTM D 198 bending but did not influence shear modulus from ASTM D 3044. Different shearing factor was obtained for different depths of beams to correct shear modulus obtained from ASTM D 198 bending equivalent to shear modulus from theory of elasticity. Equivalent shear modulus of materials could be obtained by applying different shearing factors associated with beam depth for ASTM D 198 bending and correction factor for ASTM D 3044.

This paper investigates the static and dynamic behaviors of imperfect single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) modeled as a beam structure by using energy-equivalent model (EEM), for the first time. Based on EEM Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for zigzag (n, 0), and armchair (n, n) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are presented as functions of orientation and force constants. Nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli assumptions are proposed considering mid-plane stretching to exhibit a large deformation and a small strain. To simulate the interaction of CNTs with the surrounding elastic medium, nonlinear elastic foundation with cubic nonlinearity and shearing layer are employed. The equation governed the motion of curved CNTs is a nonlinear integropartial-differential equation. It is derived in terms of only the lateral displacement. The nonlinear integro-differential equation that governs the buckling of CNT is numerically solved using the differential integral quadrature method (DIQM) and Newton's method. The linear vibration problem around the static configurations is discretized using DIQM and then is solved as a linear eigenvalue problem. Numerical results are depicted to illustrate the influence of chirality angle and imperfection amplitude on static response, buckling load and dynamic behaviors of armchair and zigzag CNTs. Both, clamped-clamped (C-C) and simply supported (SS-SS) boundary conditions are examined. This model is helpful especially in mechanical design of NEMS manufactured from CNTs.

The corrugated panels are the prime candidate structure for the floor, roof and wall of Korean high speed train. The equivalent continuum modeling approach panels can be used for the efficient design and evaluation of their structural characteristics. The equivalent continuum models, derived from the true complex corrugated panels, should have the same structural behavior as the original structures have. This paper briefly reviews three representative continuum modeling methods: the static analysis method and two plate-models based on modal analysis methods (MAM). These methods are evaluated through some numerical examples by comparing the natural frequencies and static deflections. It is observed that the plate-model based on Rayleigh-Ritz method seems to provide the best results when used in conjunction with the cantilever-type boundary conditions. The equivalent elastic constants of various corrugated panels, depending on the changes in their configurations, are tabulated for efficient use in structural design.
