PHE(Process Heat Exchanger) is a key component required to transfer heat energy of $950^{\circ}C$ generated in a VHTR(Very High Temperature Reactor) to the chemical reaction that yields a large quantity of hydrogen. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute established a small-scale gas loop for the performance test of components, which are used in the VHTR, and they manufactured a PHE prototype made of Hastelloy-X to be tested in the small-scale gas loop. Results from the elastic structural analysis on the PHE prototype were reported in the previous article. In order to investigate the macroscopic structural characteristics and behavior of the PHE prototype under the test condition of the small-scale gas loop far more in detail, elastic-plastic high-temperature structural-analysis of the PHE prototype was carried out in this study.

컴퓨터의 제한된 코어메모리로 대형문제를 해결하기 위하여 디스크를 마치 메모리처럼 사용할 수 있는 가상 메모리 데이타베이스 기법을 개발하였다. 이 기법과 아울러 최대 가용코어메모리를 작동시키는 방식을 사용하여 유한요소 해석시 흔히 발생하는 스카이라인 형태로 저장된 대칭통산행예(Sparse Symmetric Matrix)에 대한 매우 효과적인 코어 내 및 코어 외 직립방정식의 해법을 개발하였다. 제안된 방법은 다른 코어 외 해법에 비해 알고리즘 및 코딩이 매우 간단하여 계산효율을 상당히 향상시켰다. 해석예에서는 제안된 방법을 사용하여 대규모 구조해석 문제를 메모리 용량이 작은 소형컴퓨터에서 대단히 효율적으로 해결하였음을 보여주었다.

This paper introduces recent applications of three-dimensional building/construction data modeling (3D) and building information modeling (BIM) to large-scale complex building construction projects in Japan. Recently, BIM has been utilized as a tool in construction process innovation through planning, design, engineering, procurement and construction to establish a front-loading-type design building system. Firstly, the background and introduction processes of 3D and BIM are described to clarify their purposes and scopes of applications. Secondly, 3D and BIM applications for typical large-scale complex building construction projects to improve planning and management efficiency in building construction are presented. Finally, future directions and further research issues with 3D and BIM applications are proposed.

An adaptive modeling and simulation technique is introduced for the effective and reliable fluid-structure interaction analysis using MSC/Dytran for large-scale complex pressurized liquid containment. The proposed method is composed of a series of the global rigid sloshing analysis and the locally detailed fluid-structure analysis. The critical time at which the system exhibits the severe liquid sloshing response is sought through the former analysis, while the fluid-structure interaction in the local region of interest at the critical time is analyzed by the latter analysis. Differing from the global coarse model, the local fine model considers not only the complex geometry and flexibility of structure but the effect of internal pressure. The locally detailed FSI problem is solved in terms of multi-material volume fractions and the flow and pressure fields obtained by the global analysis at the critical time are specified as the initial conditions. An in-house program for mapping the global analysis results onto the fine-scale local FSI model is developed. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified through an illustrative numerical experiment.

본 논문은 제한된 계산 자원을 가진 환경에서 대규모 구조해석을 위해 고안된 보조기억장치를 활용하는 선형 직접해법에 대해 논의한다. 대용량 구조해석은 많은 기억공간과 계산량을 요구하기에 계산 자원이 부족할 경우 보조기억장치를 활용하는 해법을 개발할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 한정된 주기억장치의 활용성을 극대화하고 상대적으로 느린 보조기억장치 저장량을 최소화하는 다중프론트 해법의 알고리즘을 소개한다. 구조해석 문제의 대칭성을 활용한 스택 공간 사용 기법과 역순 스택 자료 구조, 데이터 블록 크기에 따른 선택적 저장 기법과 데이터 복원 기법을 제시하였다. 본문에서 논의된 방법들을 적용한 다중프론트 해법이 여러 성능비교 문제에서 더 나은 계산 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, the electromechanical displacements of curved actuators using laminated composites are calculated by finite element method to design the optimal configuration of curved actuators. To predict the pre-stress in the device due to the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion, the carbon-epoxy and glass- epoxy as well as PZT ceramic is also numerically modeled by using hexahedral solid elements. Because the modeling of these thin layers causes the numbers of degree of freedom to increase, large-scale structural analyses are performed in a cluster system in this study. The curved shape and pre-stress in the actuator are obtained by the cured curvature analysis. The displacement under the piezoelectric force by an applied voltage is also calculated to compare the performance of curved actuator. The thickness of composite is chosen as design factor.

In this study, we have introduced an improved equivalent modeling technique for large scale composite wind-turbine blade. Conventional or general equivalent modeling procedure may give critical error in the analysis results because of geometric coupling effects. For the analyses of structural vibration and aeroelastic problems, the accuracy of equivalent structural models is very important since it can have high numerical efficiency and various practical applications. Three-dimensional realistic composite wind-turbine blade model is practically considered for numerical study. In order to validate the effect of the mass and the stiffness of the equivalent beam model, comparison study based on the natural vibration analysis has been conducted, and the accuracy levels of the conventional and modified equivalent modeling techniques are presented.

For the analysis of structures, specifically if it is large-scale, in which case it can not be solved within the core memory, the majority of computation time is consumed In the solution of simultaneous linear equation. In this study an efficient in- and out-of-core column solver for sparse symmetric matrix utilizing memory moving scheme is developed. Compare with existing blocking methods the algorithm is simple, therefore the coding and computational efficiencies are greatly enhanced. Upon available memory size, the solver automatically performs solution within the core or outside core. Analysis example shows that the proposed method efficiently solve the large structural problem on the small-memory microcomputer.

In structural optimization, static loads are generally utilized although real external forces are dynamic. Dynamic loads have been considered in only small-scale problems. Recently, an algorithm for dynamic response optimization using transformation of dynamic loads into equivalent static loads has been proposed. The transformation is conducted to match the displacement fields from dynamic and static analyses. The algorithm can be applied to large-scale problems. However, the application has been limited to size optimization. The present study applies the algorithm to shape optimization. Because the number of degrees of freedom of finite element models is usually very large in shape optimization, it is difficult to conduct dynamic response optimization with the conventional methods that directly threat dynamic response in the time domain. The optimization process is carried out via interfacing an optimization system and an analysis system for structural dynamics. Various examples are solved to verify the algorithm. The results are compared to the results from static loads. It is found that the algorithm using static loads transformed from dynamic loads based on displacement is valid even for very large-scale problems such as shape optimization.
