연안 및 해안에서 발생하는 파랑변형, 조석 전파, 부유사 이동 및 확산 현상 등을 예측하기 위해서는 수치모형이 주로 사용된다 대표적인 수치모형 기법으로는 유한차분법 및 유한요소법이 있다. 유한차분법을 사용하는 경우에는 관심영역의 각 격자점에서 유한차분 방정식을 풀어야하므로, 격자망 및 경계조건 등이 설정되어야 한다. 유한차분용 격자망은 유한요소법과는 달리 격자망이 간단하지만, 지형이 복잡한 경우에 편리하게 사용 할 수 있는 격자정보 생성기법이 별로 개발되어 있지 않다. 또한, 상업용으로 많이 개발되어 있는 프로그램도 대부분 유한요소법에 근거한 수치모형에서 사용하는 격자생성을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지타이저(Summagrid IV 기종)를 사용하여 유한차분모형을 위한 동일한 간격의 직사각형 격자 수심자료를 만드는 세부과정을 자료로 소개하고자 한다. 필요한 프로그램은 Golden Software사의 Didger(dititiger 지원 S/W)와 Surfer(gridding & contouring S/W)로서, 비교적 간단하게 정확한 수심 자료를 얻을 수 있으며, 임의의 지점 떠는 영역에 제시된 정보로부터 필요한 직사각형 격자정보를 추출하는 방법에 적용이 가능하다.

A FA-FD hybrid method, developed for solving three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, is applied to calculate three-dimensional laminar flows through a square duct with a 90° bend. The method discretizes the convective terms in the primary flow direction with 3rd-order upwind finite-differences and the convective and diffusive terms in the transverse directions with the two-dimensional finite analytic method. The non-staggered grid system is used and the pressure-velocity coupling is achieved by a global iteration procedure based on the PISO algorithm. Detailed comparisons between the computed solutions and the available experimental data are given mainly for the velocity distributions at cross-sections in a 90° bend of a square duct with both fully developed and developing entry flows. Although the computational result shows generally a good agreement with the experimental data, there are some significant discrepancies underlining the necessity of more accurate numerical methods as well as reliable experimental data for their validation.

Complex geometric shapes can be defined simply and efficiently by combining and operating various surface primitives. These primitives and their intersection curves are used in finite element mesh generation to form an easy and intuitive procedure for finite element modelling of curved surfaces. This paper proposes techniques of automatic mesh generation on surface primitives with arbitrarily shaped boundaries and control curves, which may be created by surface to surface intersection. A method of automatic mesh generation on plane, which was previously developed by the author, has been modified for application to the surface mesh generation. Owing to the mesh generation-wise differences between planes and surfaces, the surfaces should be transformed into conceptual plane so that the modified plane mesh generation method can be applied. Surface development, mapping and mesh reconstruction are the key techniques suggested in this paper. The selection of the technique to apply can be determined automatically on the basis of the developability, existence of singularity and other characteristics of the surfaces on which the mesh is to be generated. The suggested techniques were implemented into parts of mesh generation functions of the finite element software, MacTran. Their validity and practicality were manifested by the actual use of this software.

The accurate analysis of ultrasonic wave propagation and scattering plays an important role in many aspects of nondestructive evaluation. A numerical analysis makes it possible to perform parametric studies, and in this way the probability of detection and reliability of test results can be improved. In this paper, a finite element method was employed for the analysis of ultrasonic wave propagation in anisotropic materials, and the accuracy of results was checked by comparing with analytical predictions. The element size and the integral time step, which are the critical components for the convergence of finite element solutions, were determined using a commercial finite element code. Some differences for wave propagation in anisotropic media were illustrated when plane waves are propagating in a unidirectionally reinforced composite materials. When plane waves are propagating in nonsymmetric directions in a symmetric plane, deviation angles between the wave vector and the energy vector were found from finite element analyses and the results agreed well with analytical calculations.

At present, CHS(Compression Hip Screw) is one of the best prosthesis for the intertrochanteric fracture. There is nothing to evaluate the CHS itself with the finite element analysis and mechanical tests. They have same ways of the experimental test of the ASTM standards. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the existing CHS and the new CHS which have transformational design factors with finite element analysis and mechanical tests. The mechanical tests are divided into compression tests and fatigue test for evaluating the failure load, strength and fatigue life. This finite element method is same as the experimental test of the ASTM standards. Under 300N of compression load at the lag screw head. There are less differences between Group (5H, basic type) and Group which has 8 screw holes. However, there are lots of big differences between Group and Group which is reinforced about thickness of the neck range. Moreover, the comparison of Group and Group shows similar tendency of the comparison of Group and Group . The Group is reinforced the neck range from Group. After the experimental tests and the finite element analysis, the most effective design factor of the compression hip screws is the reinforcement of the thickness, even though, there are lots of design factors. Moreover, to unite the lag screw with the plate and to analyze by static analysis, the result of this method can be used with experimental test or instead of it.

In this paper, three-dimensional free-surface flows are simulated by using two different numerical methods, the constrained interpolation profile (CIP)-based and finite volume (FV)-based methods. In the CIP-based method, the governing equations are solved on stationary staggered Cartesian grids by a finite difference method, and an immersed boundary technique is applied to deal with wave-body interactions. In the FV-based method, the governing equations are solved by applying collocated finite volume discretization, and body-fitted meshes are used. A free-surface boundary is considered as the interface of the multi-phase flow with air and water, and a volumeof-fluid (VOF) approach is applied to trace the free surface. Among many variations of the VOF-type method, the tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) and the compressive interface capturing scheme for arbitrary meshes (CICSAM) techniques are used in the CIP-based method and FV-based method, respectively. Numerical simulations have been carried out for dam-breaking and wave-body interaction problems. The computational results of the two methods are compared with experimental data and their differences are observed.

It is known that material properties, connection quality and manufacturing methods are among the important factors directly affecting the behavior of steel connections and hence steel structures. The possible performance differences between a fabricated connection and its computer model may cause critical design problems for steel structures. Achieving a reliable design depends, however, on how accurately the material properties and relevant constitutive models are considered to characterize the behavior of structures. Conventionally, the stress and strain fields in structural steel connections are calculated using the finite elements method with assumed material properties and constitutive models. Because the conventional strain gages allow the measurement of deformation only at one point and direction for specific time duration, it is not possible to determine the general characteristics of stress-strain distributions in connections after the laboratory performance tests. In this study, a new method is introduced to measure displacement distribution of simple steel welded connections under tension tests. The method is based on analyzing digital images of connection specimens taken periodically during the laboratory tension test. By using this method, displacement distribution of steel connections can be calculated with an acceptable precision for the tested connections. Calculated displacements based on the digital image correlation method are compared with those calculated using the finite elements method.

The influence of magnetic saturation on electromagnetic field distribution in both a permanent-magnet direct-current (PMDC) motor and a field-winding (wound-field) direct-current (FWDC) motor, with the same output mechanical power, has been studied. In this paper, an approximate analytical method and time-stepping Finite Element Method (FEM) are used for prediction of Back-EMF and electromagnetic torque. No-load and rotor-lucked conditions, according to experimental measurements, and the FEM and analytical method studies of the motors have been considered. A sensitivity analysis has also been successfully accomplished on the major design parameters that affect motor performance. At last, these two DC motors are compared, in spite of their differences, on the basis of measured output characteristics.

The hole-drilling method makes a little hole through the metal surface that has residual stress and measures the relieved stress with a strain gage. It is used widely in measuring the residual stress of surfaces. In this method, the inclined hole is one of the source of error. This paper presents a finite element analysis of influence of the inclined hole for the uniaxial residual stress field. The stress differences between measured and applied residual stress increase proportionally to inclined angle of the hole. The correction equations which easily obtain the residual stress taking account of the inclined angle and direction are derived. The measurement error of stress due to the inclined hole can be reduced to around 1% through this study.

This paper presents the evaluation of behavior and the prediction of tensile capacity of anchors that can cause a failure of the concrete on the basis of the design for anchorage. Tests of cast-in-place headed anchors, domestically manufactured and installed in uncracked and unreinforced concrete member are conducted to test the effected of embedment length and edge distance. The failure modes and the load-deformation responses of the anchors are discussed and then the concrete failure data are compared with capacities by the two present methods : the 45 degree cone method of ACI 349, 318 and the concrete capacity design (COD) method. Differences between the results by test and by two prediction methods are analyzed Finite Element Method (FEM).
