대수심 부유 구조물의 하부기초 기술 중 하나인 dynamically penetration anchor (DPA 또는 흔히 torpedo anchor로 칭함)의 거동특성을 시험결과 및 수치 해석적 접근을 통해 분석하였다. 기존의 유한요소 해석기법으로는 이러한 대수심 anchor 구조물의 거동 특성을 적절히 모사하기 어렵기 때문에 본 연구에서는 이러한 부분을 해결하기 위해 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) 법을 통해 지반-구조물 사이에서 발생하는 메쉬(mesh)의 distortion 현상 및 경계조건 등의 문제점을 대변형의 관점에서 해결하고자 하였다. 실측치와의 비교를 통해, CEL 기법의 타당성을 검증하였고, 그 결과 본 연구에서 적용한 CEL 기법이 기존 유한요소 기술로는 구현이 불가능한 대수심 anchoring system의 자유낙하에 의한 전반적인 거동 및 지반의 변형특성을 적절히 예측함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 검증된 기법을 바탕으로 dynamic anchor의 거동에 영향을 주는 여러 요소들에 대한 매개변수 연구를 추가로 수행하였다.

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.

The finite element method (FEM), discrete element method (DEM), and Discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) are among the standard numerical techniques applied in computational geo-mechanics. However, in some cases there no possibility for modelling by traditional finite analytical techniques or other mesh-based techniques. The solution presented in the current study as a completely Lagrangian and mesh-free technique is smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). This method was basically applied for simulation of fluid flow by dividing the fluid into several particles. However, several researchers attempted to simulate soil-water interaction, landslides, and failure of soil by SPH method. In fact, this method is able to deal with behavior and interaction of different states of materials (liquid and solid) and multiphase soil models and their large deformations. Soil indicates different behaviors when interacting with water, structure, instrumentations, or different layers. Thus, study into these interactions using the mesh based grids has been facilitated by mesh-less SPH technique in this work. It has been revealed that the fast development, computational sophistication, and emerge of mesh-less particle modeling techniques offer solutions for problems which are not modeled by the traditional mesh-based techniques. Also it has been found that the smoothed particle hydrodynamic provides advanced techniques for simulation of soil materials as compared to the current traditional numerical methods. Besides, findings indicate that the advantages of applying this method are its high power, simplicity of concept, relative simplicity in combination of modern physics, and particularly its potential in study of large deformations and failures.

Water seals are used in a washing machine to seal rotating shafts and to prevent the penetration of dust, dirt or water from the outside. The design parameters of water seals, that were the location of the garter spring, the angle of the seal lip, and the interference, were investigated by the computer simulations using the hyperelastic non-linear large deformation finite element analysis code. The maximum contact stress and the distribution of stress on the seal lip were obtained for various type of water seals. The best type among the several investigated seals was selected considering the contact force and the sealing performance.

The microstructure evolution in hot forging process is composed of dynamic recrystallization during deformation as well as grain growth during dwell time. Therefore, the control of forging parameters such as strain, strain rate. temperature and holding time is important because the microstructure change in hot working affects the mechanical properties. Modeling equations are developed to represent the flow curve. grain size. recrystallized volume fraction and grain growth phenomena by various tests. The developed modeling equations were combined with thermo-viscoplastic finite element modeling to predict the microstructure change evolution during hot forging process. The large exhaust valve spindle (head diameter of 512mm) was simulated by closed die forging with hydraulic press and cooled in air after forging. The preform was heated to each 1080 and 1150$^{\circ}C$. Numerical calculation was performed by DEFORM-2D. a commercial finite element code. Heat transfer can be coupled with the deformation analysis in a non-isothermal deformation analysis. In order to obtain the fine and homogeneous microstructure and good mechanical properties in forging. the FEM would become a useful tool in the simulation of the microstructure development. In forging, appropriate temperature, strain and strain rate and rapid cooling are required to obtain the fine grain microstructure The optimal forging temperature and effective strain range of Nimonic 80A for large exhaust valve spindle are about 1080$\∼$l120$^{\circ}C$ and 150$\∼$200$\%$.

Several in-situ testing methods of adhesively bonded joints under static short-time tensile loading are critically analyzed in terms of experimental procedure and data evaluation. Due to its rather homogeneous stress state across the glue line, the tensile-shear test with thick single-lap specimens, according to ISO 11003-2, has become the most important test process for the determination of realistic materials parameters. This basic method, which was improved in both, the experimental part by stepped adherends and easily attachable extensometers and the evaluation procedure by numeric substrate deformation correction and test simulation based on the finite element method (FEM), is therefore demonstrated by application to several kinds of adhesives and metallic adherends. Multi-axial load decreases the strength of a joint. This effect, which is illustrated by an experimental comparison, impedes the derivation of realistic mechanical characteristics from measured force-displacement curves. It is shown by numeric modeling that tensile-shear tests with thin plate substrates according to ISO 4587, which are widely used for quick industrial quality assurance, reveal an inhomogeneous stress state, especially because of relatively large adherend deformation. Complete experimental determination of the elastic properties of bonded joints requires independent measurement of at least two characteristics. As the thick-adherend tensile-shear test directly yields the shear modulus, the tensile butt-joint test according to ISO 6922 represents the most obvious complement of the test programme. Thus, validity of analytical correction formulae proposed in literature for the derivation of realistic materials characteristics is verified by numeric simulation. Moreover, the influence of the substrate deformation is examined and a FEM correction method introduced.

A meshless method which is the new computational method being developed recently, is applied to the simulation of large deformation problems. Among the many types of meshless methods, the Reproducing Kernel particle method (RKPM) is used and the nearly incompressible hyperelastic materials are employed in simulations. The meshless methods can avoid metsh distortions and mesh entanglements that may frequently happen when the mesh-based methods like finite element method are used for the simulations of largely deformed materials. A general features of meshless methods are reviewed and the formulation of RKPM is presented. Next, the performance of explicit RKPM is demonstrated by examples.

In the present study, the injection molding optimization of a large thick LH type elastic frames for the reduction of warpage was performed. Two kinds of fine and coarse finite element models were prepared to investigate the efficiency of analysis time and quality on simulation results. In order to derive injection molding conditions that can minimize distortion of parts, it was investigated that the effects of mold temperature, resin temperature, injection time, hold pressure switching time, holding pressure and the hold time on deformation characteristics using the design of experiments. The main influential factors on the warpage were found from the optimization simulation and the geometry data of the warpage result was converted into an initial model for injection simulation. It was shown that a coarse model with good mesh quality could be adapted for mold design since the total analysis time using the proposed model was reduced to 1/10. The suggested inversed warpage model produced the best minimized result of warpage.

The research presented in this paper analytically examines the fire performance of flat plate buildings. The modeling parameters for the mechanical and thermal properties of materials are calibrated from relevant test data to minimize the uncertainties involved in analysis. The calibrated models are then adopted to perform a nonlinear finite element simulation on a flat plate building subjected to fire. The analysis examines the characteristics of slab deflection, in-plane deformation, membrane force, bending moment redistribution, and slab rotational deformation near the supporting columns. The numerical simulation enables the understanding of structural performance of flat plate under elevated temperature and, more importantly, identifies the high risk of punching failure at slab-column connections that may trigger large-scale failure in flat plate structures.

The remeshing is a method to replace a distorted mesh by a new mesh without interrupting the finite element calculation. The remeshing procedure in this paper refers to the rezoning, for which a sm oothing process is developed to alleviate the distortions of mesh. In the paper, an automatic finite element rezoning system with tetrahedral elements for large deformation analysis has been developed. Our smoothing process is composed of two steps, a surface smoothing and a volume smoothing. In the surface smoothing, checking the dihedral angle and projection on surface patch reduced the change of shape and nodes penetrating die. The constrained Laplacian smoothing has been employed for the volume smoothing process. The state variables are mapped from old mesh to new mesh by using volume coordinates within a tetrahedral element. All these procedures have been linked to the NIKE3D program As illustrated in the examples the overall strategy ensures a robust and efficient rezoning scheme for finite element simulation of metal-forming processes.
