In the present work the elastic-plastic FE formulations using dynamic explicit time integration schemes are used for numerical analysis of a large auto-body panel stamping processes. For analyses of more complex cases with larger and more refined meshes, the explicit method is more time effective than implicit method, and has no convergency problem and has the robust nature of contact and friction algorithms while implicit method is widely used because of excellent accuracy and reliability. The elastic-plastic scheme is more reliable and rigorous while the rigid-plastic scheme require small computation time. In finite element simulation of auto-body panel stamping processes, the roobustness and stability of computation are important requirements since the computation time and convergency become major points of consideration besides the solution accuracy due to the complexity of geometry conditions. The performnce of the dynamic explicit algorithms are investigated by comparing the simulation results of formaing of complicate shaped autobody parts, such as a fuel tank and a rear hinge, with the experimental results. It has been shown that the proposed dynamic explicit elastic-plastic finite element method enables an effective computation for complicated auto-body panel stamping processes.

In the present work computations are carried out for analysis of complicated sheet metal forming process such as forming of a rear hinge. Finite element formulation using dynamic explicit time integration scheme and step-wise combined Implicit/Explicit scheme are introduced for numerical analysis of sheet metal forming process. The rigid-plastic finite element method based on membrane elements has long been employed as a useful numerical technique for the analysis of sheet metal forming because of its time effectiveness. The explicit scheme in general use is based on the elastic-plastic modelling of material requiring large computation time. In finite element simulation of sheet metal forming processes, the robustness and stability of computation are important requirements since the computation time and convergency become major points of consideration besides the solution accuracy due to the complexity of geometry and boundary conditions. The implicit scheme employs a more reliable and rigorous scheme in considering the equilibrium at each step of deformation, while in the explicit scheme the problem of convergency is eliminated at the cost of solution accuracy. The explicit approach and the implicit approach have merits and demerits, respectively. In order to combine the merits of these two methods a step-wise combined implicit/explicit scheme has been developed.

본 연구에서는 이동최소제곱 차분법을 2차원 동적고체문제를 해석하기 위하여 확장시켰으며 Newmark ${\beta}$ 방법을 통해 explicit와 implicit 시간적분법을 모두 적용하여 그 차이를 비교하였다. 이동최소제곱 차분법은 Taylor 다항식을 이용하여 미분계산을 근사화 함으로써 내부 및 경계에서도 강형식을 그대로 이용할 수 있다. 그래서 계산이 빠르고 수치적분이 필요하지 않아 무요소법의 장점을 잘 살릴 수 있고 해석차수를 손쉽게 조정할 수 있어 cubic 등의 고차 근사계산이 간편하다. 두 가지 수치예제를 통하여 동적해석에 대한 이동최소제곱 차분법의 적용성과 안정성을 검증하였다.

Dynamic application lower mode response is of interest, however the higher modes of spatially discretized equations generally do not represent the real behavior. Some implicit algorithms, therefore, are introduced to filter out the high-frequency modes. The objective of this study is to introduce the P-method and PC ${\alpha}$-method to compare that with dissipation method and Newmark method through the stability analysis and numerical example. PC ${\alpha}$-method gives more accuracy than other methods because it based on the ${\alpha}$-method inherits the superior properties of the implicit ${\alpha}$-method. In finite element analysis, the PC ${\alpha}$-method is more useful than other methods because it is the explicit scheme and it achieve the second order accuracy and numerical damping simultaneously.

This paper is focused on the development of the RIVNET1 model, which is a dynamic wave model, for flood analysis in dendritic river networks with arbitrary cross-sections. This model adopted the $-point implicit RDM and utilized a relaxation algorithim in order to solve the governing equations. The double-sweep method was used to reduce the C.P.U. time to solve the matrix system of the model. This model is applied the analyze flood waves of the Ohid river in the U.S.A. and the Keum river in Korea. The results of analysis obtained from this model are compared with those of the DWOPER and observed data.

In this paper, a parallel algorithm of nonlinear dynamic analysis of three-dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures based on the platform of graphics processing unit (GPU) is proposed. Time integration is performed using Newmark method for nonlinear implicit dynamic analysis and parallelization strategies are presented. Correspondingly, a parallel Preconditioned Conjugate Gradients (PCG) solver on GPU is introduced for repeating solution of the equilibrium equations for each time step. The RC frames were simulated using fiber beam model to capture nonlinear behaviors of concrete and reinforcing bars. The parallel finite element program is developed utilizing Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). The accuracy of the GPU-based parallel program including single precision and double precision was verified in comparison with ABAQUS. The numerical results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can take full advantage of the parallel architecture of the GPU, and achieve the goal of speeding up the computation compared with CPU.

The free and forced nonlinear dynamic behaviors of Porous Functionally Graded Material (PFGM) plates are examined by means of a High-Order Implicit Algorithm (HOIA). The formulation is developed using the Third-order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT). Unlike previous works, the formulation is written without resorting to any homogenization technique neither rule of mixture nor considering FGM as a laminated composite, and the distribution of the porosity is assumed to be gradually variable through the thickness of the PFGM plates. Using the Hamilton principle, we establish the governing equations of motion. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to compute approximations of the resulting equations; FEM is adopted using a four-node quadrilateral finite element with seven Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) per node. Nonlinear equations are solved by a HOIA. The accuracy and the performance of the proposed approach are verified by presenting comparisons with literature results for vibration natural frequencies and dynamic response of PFGM plates under external loading. The influences of porosity volume fraction, porosity distribution, slenderness ratio and other parameters on the vibrations of PFGM plate are explored. The results demonstrate the significant impact of different physical and geometrical parameters on the vibration behavior of the PFGM plate.

The liquid sloshing in an elastic tank is a fluid-structure interaction problem. It requires nonlinear analysis to solve the complicated physics involved in the large interaction of fluid-structure, the variation of dynamic characteristics of structure due to hydrodynamic loading, and the distorsion of fluid flow due to structural vibration. In this paper a Lagrangian FEM is introduced to analyze the liquid sloshing in an elastic tank assuming that the elastic wall is one degree of freedom rigid wall. Numerical integration is performed using an implicit-explicit algorithm, which is formed by mixing the predictor-corrector method and the Runge-Kutta 4th order method. The influence of dynamic characteristics of the sloshing tank on the fluid flow is discussed. The numerical method is also applied for the simulation of the wall generated wave in the tank.

Super computers has been utilized to carry out vehicle dynamics in real time. This research propose an implicit integra-tion method for vehicle state variables. Newton chord method is empolyed to solve the equations of motion and con-straints. The equations of motion and constraints are formulated such that the Jacobian matrix for Newton chord method is needed to be computed only once for a dynamic analysis. Numerical experiments showed that the Jacobian matrix generat-ed at the initial time could have been utilized for the Newton chord iterations throughout simulations under various driving conditions. Convergence analysis of Newton chord method with the proposed Jacobian updating method is carried out. The proposed algorithm yielded accurate solutions for a prototype vehicle multibody model in realtime on a 400 MHz PC compatible.

An improved optimization algorithm for multi-objective and multi-level (MO/ML) optimum design of steel frames is proposed in this paper. In order to optimize the steel frames under seismic load, two main objective functions need to be considered for minimizing the structural weight and maximizing the strain energy. For the efficiency of the proposed method, well known multi-level optimization techniques using decomposition method that separately utilizes both system-level and element-level optimizations and an artificial constraint deletion technique are incorporated in the algorithm. And also dynamic analysis is executed to evaluate the implicit function of structural strain energy at each iteration step. To save the numerical efforts, an efficient reanalysis technique through sensitivity analysis of dynamic properties is unposed in the paper. The efficiency and robustness of the improved MOML algorithm, compared with a plain MOML algorithm, is successfully demonstrated in the numerical examples.
