We define two types of null hypersurfaces as; isoparametric and quasi isoparametric null hypersurfaces of Lorentzian space forms, based on the two shape operators associated with a null hypersurface. We prove that; on any screen conformal isoparametric null hypersurface, the screen geodesics lie on circles in the ambient space. Furthermore, we prove that the screen distributions of isoparametric (or quasi isoparametric) null hypersurfaces with at most two principal curvatures are generally Riemannian products. Several examples are also given to illustrate the main concepts.

In this article, we consider a homogeneous function of degree four in quaternionic vector spaces and $S^{4n+3}$ which is invariant under $S^3$ and U(n + 1)-action. We show it is an isoparametric function providing isoparametric hypersurfaces in $S^{4n+3}$ with g = 4 distinct principal curvatures and isoparametric hypersurfaces in quaternionic projective spaces with g = 5. This extends study of Nomizu on isoparametric function on complex vector spaces and complex projective spaces.

For the same configuration, the stiffness of 6-node two dimensional isoparametric is stiffer than that of 8-node two dimensional isoparametric element. This phenomenon may be called 'Relative Stiffness Stiffening Phenomenon.' In this paper, the relative stiffness stiffening phenomenon was studied, and could be corrected by modifying the position of Gauss integral points used in the numerical integration of the stiffness matrix. For the same deformation (bending) energy of 6-node and 8-node two dimensional isoparametric elements, Gauss integral points of 6-node element have to move closer, in comparison with those of 8-node element, in the case of numerical integration along the thickness direction.

In this thesis, we consider isoparametric curves of quadratic F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves. F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves unify C-B$\acute{e}$zier curves whose basis is {sint, cos t, t, 1} and H-B$\acute{e}$zier curves whose basis is {sinht, cosh t, t,1}. Thus F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves are more useful in Geometric Modeling or CAGD(Computer Aided Geometric Design). We derive the relation between the quadratic F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves and the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curves. We also obtain the geometric properties of isoparametric curve of the quadratic F-B$\acute{e}$zier curves at both end points and prove the continuity of the isoparametric curve.

본 문에서는 선체 중앙부의 유한요소 모델링과 진동해석이 수행되었다. 횡부재와 종통부재가 만나 3차원적으로 연결되어 있는 선체구조는 복잡한 구조적 특성 때문에 모델링에 많은 노력이 필요하다. 선수, 선미부에 비해 비교적 부재간의 접속이 간단한 중앙평행부의 진동해석과 같은 경우에는 모델링 기법을 개발해 사용할 수도 있다. 중앙부 횡부재와 종통부재가 만나는 부분의 접속성과 형상표현을 위해 keypoint, super element(SE) 개념을 도입하였고 형성된 SE 들을 isoparametric mapping 기법을 접속된 3차원 부재용으로 개선하여 유한요소로 분할하였다. 진동해석용으로 형성된 선체중앙부 요소망을 ANSYS로 가시화하였고 자유진동해석을 수행하였다.

In this paper, we study transnormal systems on the Euclidean and semi-Euclidean spaces. We classified transnormal systems on Rf" . We also prove that transnormal systems on R$\^$n/$\sub$p/ are algebraic even though there are non-algebraic isoparametric hypersurfaces.

When a crack meets bimaterial interface stress singularity depends on the elastic constants of the adjacent materials. In the present study we are going to describe the finite element formulation for problems with a crack to be embedded in the stiffer material$({\mu}_2/{\mu}_1)$. The cubic isoparametric singular element, represented by adequately shifting the mid-side nodes adjacent to the crack tip is constructed to enclose the crack tip. An alternative method to obtain the optimal position of the mid-side nodes of cubic isoparametric elements is presented. In addition, a proper definition for the stress intensity factors of a crack normal to bimaterial interface is provided. It is based upon near a tip displacement solutions. Models for numerical analysis are two dimensional elastic bodies with a through crack under plain strain. The results obtained are compared with the previous solutions.

Let x : $M{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}^n$ be an n - 1-dimensional hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$, L be the Laguerre Blaschke tensor, B be the Laguerre second fundamental form and $D=L+{\lambda}B$ be the Laguerre para-Blaschke tensor of the immersion x, where ${\lambda}$ is a constant. The aim of this article is to study Laguerre Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces and Laguerre para-Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with three distinct Laguerre principal curvatures one of which is simple. We obtain some classification results of such isoparametric hypersurfaces.

Higher order isoparametric elements are usually used in the finite element analysis because they can represent easily the geometric shape of a complex structure ad can improve the solution quality. When these elements are used, the position of internal nodes affects greatly on the solution accuracy. Decreasing of the accuracy related to the position of internal nodes is due to non-conformal mapping often results in an unstable Jacobian value. This paper, in order to remove this difficulty, suggests a modified shape function which can establish conformal mapping between two coordinate systems. Numerical experiments with the proposed shape function show that a stable solution can be obtained without respect to the position of internal nodes, and offer convenience that one can take arbitrarily the position of internal nodes considering only the geometric shape of element boundaries.

The fatigue crack opening behavior is analyzed using finite element method. Because extremely fine mesh subdivision is required when using constant stress constant strain triangular element, this study uses conventional two dimensional eight node isoparametric elements. Since plasitc zone size is similar to crack propagating length per each load cycle because of relatively large element size, a new analysis model that a crack propagates every two load cycle is suggested. the opening load and crack opening displacement can be obtained accurately by this method.
