The assessment of slope stability is an essential task in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to investigate the performance of different shear pin arrangements to increase the stability of a soil block resting on an inclined plane with a low-interface friction plane. In the numerical models, the soil block was modeled by volume elements with linear elastic perfectly plastic material in a drained condition, while the shear pins were modeled by volume elements with linear elastic material. Interface elements were used along the bedding plane (bedding interface element) and around the shear pins (shear pin interface element) to simulate the soil-structure interaction. Bedding interface elements were used to capture the shear sliding of the soil on the low-interface friction plane while shear pin interface elements were used to model the shear bonding of the soil around the pins. A failure analysis was performed by means of the gravity loading method. The results of the 3D FEA with the numerical models were compared to those with the physical models for all cases. The effects of the number of shear pins, the shear pin locations, the different shear pin arrangements, the thickness and the width of the soil block and the associated failure mechanisms were discussed.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유강화 복합재를 적층각과 적층순서에 따라 C-channel 형상에서 발생하는 스프링-인을 유한요소해석(ABAQUS)을 통해 예측하였다. 복합재 제작공정에서 냉각시의 큰 온도차 및 적층각에 따른 열팽창계수 및 화학적 수축계수의 차이로 인해 변형(스프링-인)이 발생한다. 이러한 변형은 제품의 품질과 직결되는 문제이며, 반드시 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 유한요소해석 시 CHILE모델과 화학적 수축을 고려한 서브루틴을 제작하여 적용하였으며, [0/X/Y/90]s case에 대해 X,Y를 $0{\sim}90^{\circ}$까지 변화시키며 각 case에 대한 스프링-인 발생량을 예측, 분석하였다.

사용하중하의 철근콘크리트 스래브의 비탄성 처짐을 산정하는 실용적인 방법을 제시하였다. 선형 유한요소 해석의 탄성해석결과와 설계된 철근량을 이용하여 비탄성 처짐계수(.betha.)를 결정하고, 이를 이용하여 설계된 슬리브의 사용성을 검토하기 위한 사용하중하의 처짐을 구할 수 있도록 하였다. 모서리에 지지된 슬래브 예에서 제시한 방법으로 구한 비탄성처짐과 실험 및 비선형해석 결과와 비교해 본 결과 서로 매우 잘 일치함을 보여주었다. 제시된 방법을 비정형 슬래브 설계에 응용한 문제도 고려하였다.

A finite element analysis of crack propagation in a half-space due to sliding contact was performed. The sliding contact was simulated by a rigid asperity moving across the surface of an elastic half-surface containing single and multiple cracks. Single, coplanar, and parallel cracks were modeled to investigate the interaction effects on the crack growth in contact fatigue. The analysis was based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and the stress intensity factor concept. The crack propagation direction was predicted based on the maximum range of the shear and tensile stress intensity factors.

Although a structural analysis based on e linear elastic theory yields good results for deformations and stresses produced by working loads, it fails to assess the teal load-carrying of the plates on the verge of yielding. In case of a limit analysis of plates, the yield line theory is widely used on the basis of the upper bound theorem and theoretically it overestimates the strength of the plate. There is, therefore, a general need for analytical methods of predicting the inelastic behavior and load-carrying capacities of plate subjected to arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. The $\rho$-version of finite element method has been presented for determining the accurate limit load of plates. The numerical results by $\rho$-version model compares with the results obtained by the h-version software ADINA as well as with the available analytical solutions in literatures.

In this Study, the dynamic equation for vibration analysis of mechanical systems with kinematic constraints is derived. This equations are derived in terms of small displacements of Cartesian coordinates, and are applied to compute the dynamic response and the natural modes of the suspension system of a vehicle. The results are validated through the comparison with the results from conventional nonlinear dynamic analysis and modal test.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behavior of a reinforced earth wall by modeling the properties of the interface between soil and reinforced elements as well as the non-linear stress-strain characteristics of soil. The effect of lateral earth pressures induced during construction is also included in the analyses. The interface element used to evaluate the relative movement of the interface between soil/reinforcement and soil/wall- facing has a zero thickness and essentially consists of normal and shear springs. The behavior of soil element is calculated based on the hyperbolic model. The computer program SSCOMPPC which includes the interface element, hyperbolic model and bi-linear model is applied in this study. From the analyses, it is showed that the locus of maximum tension were closed to the hi-linear failure line of theoretical analyses. The lateral displacement of SSCOMPPC is larger than that of the FLAC which adopts the elastic model. This means the analysis which is adopted the hyperbolic model and interface element induced more larger displacement.

Modern trend in structural design is to use smaller elements in order to ensure several purposes such as economy, functionality and aesthetic in appearance. However, because of decreasing rigidity of the structural elements, the system displacements increases and displacements become an important subject in this kind of structures takes into account both geometrical changes and the carrying capacity of the material after linear-elastic boundary. In this study, a method is proposed to calculate the failure loads and to analyse the reinforced concrete space frame systems. The numerical examples gathered from the literature survey are solved with this method utilising the prepared computer program and the comparable results are presented. The results show that the method is sufficiently accurate.

In this paper, constraint-based fracture mechanics analyses of hollow cylinders with internal circumferential crack under tensile loading are conducted. Finite element analyses of the cracked cylinders are carried out to determine the fracture parameters including elastic T-stresses, and fully-plastic J-integrals. Linear elastic finite element analysis is conducted to obtain the T-stresses, and elastic-plastic analysis is conducted to obtain the fully plastic J-integrals. A wide range of cylinder geometries are studied, with cylinder radius ratios of $r_i/r_o$ = 0.2 to 0.8 and crack depth ratio a/t = 0.2 to 0.8. Fully plastic J-integrals are obtained for Ramberg-Osgood power law hardening material of n = 3, 5 and 10. These fracture parameters are then used to construct conventional and constraint-based failure assessment diagrams (FADs) to determine the maximum load carrying capacity of cracked cylinders. It is demonstrated that these tensile loaded cylinders with circumferential cracks are under low constraint conditions, and the load carrying capacity are higher when the low constraint effects are properly accounted for, using constraint-based FADs, comparing to the predictions from the conventional FADs.

점토 지반 위에 상부 구조물이 축조되면 지반의 성질, 하중의 종류와 크기 등에 따라 즉각적인 침하가 생기고 어떤 형태의 접지압 분포가 이루어진다. 그러나 이후 시간의 경과와 더불어 2차적인 압밀침하가 추가되면 상부구조의 휨 강성 때문에 이 2차적인 추가 곡률에 대한 저항이 있다. 따라서 접지압 분포에 변화가 있게 되고 이 접지압 분포의 변화 때문에 압밀침하가 달라지며 압밀침하가 달라지면 다시 접지압 분포에 변화가 있게 되고 다시 압밀침하가 변하는 등의 하부지반과 상부구조와의 상호작용을 압밀침하가 끝날 때까지 계속하므로 지반 압밀 문제를 선형적으로 규명할 수 없다. 이 연구에서는 유한요소법으로 이 비선형 상호작용 문제의 근사적인 해석법을 시도하고 있다.
