An optimization method of patch shape was developed in this study, in order to improve repair of cracked plates. It aimed to minimize three objectives: stress intensity factor, patch volume and shear stresses in the adhesive film. The choice of these objectives ensures improving crack repair, gaining mass and enhancing the adhesion durability between the fractured plate and the composite patch. This was a multi-objective optimization combined with Finite elements calculations to find out the best distribution of patch height with respect to its width. The implementation of the method identified families of optimal shapes with specific geometric features around the crack tip and at the horizontal end of the patch. Considerable mass gain was achieved while improving the repair efficiency and keeping the adhesive shear stress at low levels.

본 논문에서는 섬유강화복합재의 멀티스케일 해석을 위해 필요한 대규모/소규모 통계적 체적요소 모델을 개발하였다. 미시영역모델의 크기효과를 최소화하기 위해서 섬유를 최대한 포함한 거대모델을 구성하였다. 이를 위해 국부 영역의 요소 절단법을 이용하여 전체 유한요소 크기에 상관없이 신속한 격자 섬유/기지의 모델링이 가능한 요소생성기를 구성하였다. 이를 통해 대규모 통계 체적 모델을 도출하여 체적모델의 크기에 따른 국부하중 공유의 차이를 고찰하고, 섬유방향의 연속체손상역학모델을 BSVEs 모델 해석으로부터 도출 하였다. BSVEs 모델을 보편적인 RVE모델과 비교 검증하였다.

In this paper presents bending characteristic of single wall carbon nanotube reinforced functionally graded composite (SWCNTRC-FG) plates. The finite element implementation of bending analysis of laminated composite plate via well-established higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT). A seven degree of freedom and $C^0$ continuity finite element model using eight noded isoperimetric elements is developed for precise computation of deflection and stresses of SWCNTRC plate subjected to sinusoidal transverse load. The finite element implementation is carried out through a finite element code developed in MATLAB. The results obtained by present approach are compared with the results available in the literatures. The effective material properties of the laminated SWCNTRC plate are used by Mori-Tanaka method. Numerical results have been obtained with different parameters, width-to-thickness ratio (a/h), stress distribution profile along thickness direction, different SWCNTRC-FG plate, boundary condition, through the thickness (z/h) ratio, volume fraction of SWCNT.

Composite materials, known for their excellent mechanical properties and lightweight characteristics, are applied in various engineering fields. Recently, efforts have been made to develop an automotive battery protection panel using a plain-woven composite composed of glass fiber and polypropylene to reduce the weight of automobiles. However, excessive warpage occurs during the GF/PP compression molding process, which makes car assembly challenging. This study aims to develop a model that predicts the warpage during the compression molding process. Obtaining out-of-plane properties such as elastic or shear modulus, essential for predicting warpages, is tricky. Existing mechanical methods also have limitations in calculating these properties for woven composite materials. To address this issue, finite element analysis is conducted using representative volume elements (RVE) for woven composite materials. A warpage prediction model is developed based on the estimated physical properties of GF/PP composite materials obtained through representative volume elements. This model is expected to be used for reducing warpages in the compression molding process.

This paper reports the study on development and verification of numerical models and analyzes of flow at high speed around structural elements in the shape of a curved pipe (e.g., a fragment of a water slide). Possibility of engineering estimation of wind forces acting on an object in the shape of a helix is presented, using relationships concerning toroidal and cylindrical elements. Determination of useful engineering parameters (such as aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, and air velocity field) is presented, impossible to obtain from the existing standard EN 1991-1-4 (the so-called wind standard). For this purpose, flow at high speed around a torus and helix, arranged both near planar surface and high above it, was analyzed. Analyzes begin with the flow around a cylinder. This is the simplest object with a circular cross-section and at the same time the most studied in the literature. Based on this model, more complex models are analyzed: first in the shape of half of a torus, next in the shape of a helix.

In this study, we performed the static analysis of a cord-reinforced rubber airspring and generated the three-dimensional half-symmetry model which use the finite-strain shell elements to model the airbag. the three-dimensional hydrostatic fluid elements to model the air-filled cavity, and the rebar elements to model the multi-ply nylon reinforcement of airbag. In addition, a three-dimensional rigid surface is used to define the contact between the airspring and metal bead. The air inside the airspring cavity has been modeled as a compressible fluid satisfying the ideal gas law. The conclusions of this study are as follows. 1) In the pressurization step of analysis, we could predict the change of vertical reaction force, cavity volume and pressure within the airspring. 2) In the second step of analyzing vertical static stiffness, the increase of the vertical load increases the vertical stiffness. 3) In case of changing the angle of nylon cord, the increase the angle of nylon cord increases the vertical stiffness.

This paper deals with an automatic rotor design functional standard computation based on torque/volume for a synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM). The focus of this paper is the design relative to the torque/volume on the basis of each rated watt according to the rotor diameters of a SynRM. The coupled finite elements analysis (FEA) & sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT) have been used to evaluate design solutions. The proposed procedure allows to define the rotor geometric design function according to the rotor diameter and rated watt starting from an existing motor or a preliminary design.

We study the stabilization of 2D g-Navier-Stokes equations in bounded domains with no-slip boundary conditions. First, we stabilize an unstable stationary solution by using finite-dimensional feedback controls, where the designed feedback control scheme is based on the finite number of determining parameters such as determining Fourier modes or volume elements. Second, we stabilize the long-time behavior of solutions to 2D g-Navier-Stokes equations under action of fast oscillating-in-time external forces by showing that in this case there exists a unique time-periodic solution and every solution tends to this periodic solution as time goes to infinity.
