This research develops a finite element code for the transient dynamic analysis of tapered fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) poles with hollow circular cross-section and flexible joints used in power transmission lines. The FRP poles are modeled by tapered beam elements and their flexible joints by a rotational spring. To solve the time equations of transient dynamic analysis, precise time integration method is utilized. In order to verify the utilized formulations, a typical jointed FRP pole under step, triangular and sine pulses is analyzed by the developed finite element code and also ANSYS commercial finite element software for comparison. Thereafter, the effect of joint flexibility on its dynamic behavior is investigated. It is observed that by increasing the joint stiffness, the amplitude of the pole tip deflection history decreases, and the time of occurrence of the maximum deflection is earlier.

In this study, a stochastic finite element model is proposed with a view to consider the uncertainty of physical properties of discontinuous rock mass in the analysis of structural behavior on underground caverns. In so doing, the LHS(Latin Hypercube sampling) technique has been applied to make up weak points of the Crude Monte Carlo technique. Concerning the effect of discontinuities, a joint finite element model is used that is known to be superior in explaining faults, cleavage, things of that nature. To reflect the uncertainty of material properties, the variables such as the the elastic modulus, the poisson's ratio, the joint shear stiffness, and the joint normal stiffness have been used, all of which can be applicable through normal distribution, log-normal distribution, and rectangulary uniform distribution. The validity of the newly developed computer program has been confirmed in terms of verification examples. And, the applicability of the program has been tested in terms of the analysis of the circular cavern in discontinuous rock mass.

The cold formed light-gauge profiled steel sheeting can offer considerable shear resistance acting in the steel building frame. This paper conducted the full-scale test on the shear behavior of stressed skin diaphragm using profiled sheeting connected by the self-tapping screws. A three-dimensional finite element model that simulates the stressed skin diaphragm was developed. The sheet was modeled using thin element model while the supporting members were simulated using beam elements. Fasteners were represented in the numerical model as equivalent springs. A joint test program was conducted to characterize the properties of these springs and results were reported in this study. Finite element model of the full-scale test was analyzed by use of the ANSYS package, considering nonlinearity caused by the large deflection and slip of fasteners. The experimental data was compared with the results acquired by the EUR formulas and finite element analysis.

In this study two dimensional visco-plastic finite element model capable of handling the multi-step excavation was developed for investigating the effect of excavation support sequences on the behavior of underground openings in the jointed rock mass. First, the finite element model which is capable of handling the multi-step excavation is developed and verified. And then the model is combined with visco-plastic joint model. Ubiquitous joint pattern was considered in the model and joint properties in cach set were assumed to be indentical. Passive, full-grouted rockbolts were cosidered in the numerical model. The visco-plastic deformations of joints and rockbolts were assumed to be governed by Mohr-Conlomb and von Mises yield criteria, respectively. With the ability of removing elements, the model can simulate the multi-step excavation-suppport sequences. The reliability and applicability of the model to the stability analysis for the underground excavation in pratice was checked by simulating the behavior of underground crude oil storage caverns under construction.

The shape of weld nuggest in arc spot welding of 304 stainless steel was found by searching thermal history of a weld joint through a three-dimensional finite element model. The problem consists of one in which the finite element mesh is growing continuously in time in order to accomodate metal transfer in arc spot welding using element rebirth technique. The analysis was performed on the basis of experimental results. The finite element program MARC, along with a few user subroutines, was employed to obtain the numerical results. Temperature-dependent thermal properties, stir effect in weld pool, effect of phase transformation, and the convective and radiative boundary conditions are included in the model. Numerically predicted shape of weld nuggest is compared with the experimentally observed shape.

An open frame structure is fastened by bolt joints for strength and shock attenuation. Therefore the full finite element model of an open frame structure should be properly modeled including bolt joints for strength analysis of the frames and joint assemblies which are operated under multi-loading conditions such as driving, drop, inertia and torsional loads. Then the joints and frames must satisfy the specified allowable strength constraints. Because the full finite element model has a large number of elements to perform strength analysis, a detailed fine bolt analysis seems to be very expensive. Therefore bolts of the full finite element model are approximately modeled by coupling method to constrain degree of freedoms between adjacent nodes. However, the coupling method can exaggerate stress results at the constrained nodes. Thus a detailed bolt analysis and a theoretical/experiential formula of bolts for a worst bolt joint are performed using reaction force applied both bolt and bolt joint. Finally, the results from the two methods are compared and discussed to verify the safety of the open frame structure.

본 논문에서는 불연속암반내 시공되는 터널의 유한요소해석에 있어서 절리요소를 이용한 불연속면의 모델링에 관한 내용을 다루었다. 불연속 암반터널의 모델링이 가능한 유한요소해석 프로그램의 개발을 위해 기존의 유한요소해석 프로그램 GEOFE2D에 불연속면의 모델링이 가능한 절점변위 절리요소를 적용하고 모형실험 및 기존의 상용프로그램과의 비교를 통해 그 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 검증된 GEOFE2D를 이용하여 불연속면이 터널의 거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 불연속면이 터널을 관통하는 경우에 대한 해석을 수행하고, 그 과정에서 불연속면과 숏크리트 라이닝 교차부에서의 변위 적합조건을 만족시킬 수 있는 불연속면 모델링 기법을 제시하였다. 한편, 해석결과를 분석한 결과 불연속면은 터널 주변의 응력-변형률 상태에 현저한 영향을 미치며, 특히 불연속면이 관통하는 부위에서의 숏크리트 라이닝 축력 및 휨 모멘트가 현저히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 불연속면을 포함하는 터널의 거동해석시에는 불연속면에 대한 보다 상세한 모델링이 수반되어야 실제 거동에 보다 근접하는 해석결과를 도출시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

파이프 설비는 다양한 두께 및 직경, 길이를 가진 파이프들로 이루어진 구조물로서 정확한 해석을 위해서는 3차원의 유한요소 모델이 필요하다. 그러나 유한요소 모델에 의한 해석방법은 계산시간이 길어질 뿐만 아니라 방대한 양의 컴퓨터 용량을 필요로 한다. 반면에 파이프를 보요소로 가정한 단순한 해석 모델은 파이프 설비의 정확한 거동을 예측하기에 문제점이 많다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 파이프 설비의 효율적인 해석모델을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 해석모델은 보요소로 구성된 모델에 접합부 요소만을 추가함으로써 보요소만으로 구성된 모델만큼 단순하며, 또한 파이프 접합부의 국부적인 변형을 고려하기 때문에 파이프 설비의 거동을 정확히 예측할 수 있다. 예제 해석을 통하여 결과들을 비교함으로써 본 연구에서 제안한 모델의 효율성을 입증하였다.
