The dimensional accuracy of the cold forged products is strongly dependent on the elastic behavior of the die. The elastic deformation of the die is continuously changed during the process. Therefore, it is needed to measure the deformation of die. Strain gauges are used to measure the elastic strains in the die during cold backward extrusion process. The strain gauges are attached on the die surface and embedded at the interface between the die insert and the stress ring. In order to compare the results with the FE-analysis, the rigid-plastic FE-analysis of cold backward extrusion process using DEFORM-3D has been performed, and the analysis of elastic deformation of the die has been done by using ANSYS with non-linear contact.

An advanced time-domain finite element formulation is presented for the displacement and stress analysis of isotropic, linear viscoelastic problems of a hereditary-type constitutive law. The semidiscrete finite element method with linear time-stepping scheme and an elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle are used in the theoretical development. An efficient treatment of hereditary integral is introduced to improve the numerical accuracy, to reduce the computation time, and to avoid the use of large memory storage. Two-dimensional numerical examples of plane strain and plane stress are solved under the assumption on the material property of being elastic in dilatation and like three-element Voigt model in distorsion, and compared with the analytical solutions and the past numerical results to show the versatility and efficiency of the proposed method.

A preconditioning technique is presented for a simultaneous solution to wind-membrane interaction. In the simultaneous equations, a linear elastic model was employed to deal with the fluid-structure data transfer at the interface. A Lagrange multiplier was introduced to impose the specified boundary conditions at the interface and strongly coupled simultaneous equations are derived after space and time discretization. An initial linear elastic model preconditioner and modified one were derived by treating the linearized elastic model equation as a saddle point problem, respectively. Accordingly, initial and modified fluid-structure interaction (FSI) preconditioner for the simultaneous equations were derived based on the initial and modified linear elastic model preconditioners, respectively. Wind-membrane interaction analysis by the proposed preconditioners, for two and three dimensional membranous structures respectively, was performed. Comparison was made between the performance of initial and modified preconditioners by comparing parameters such as iteration numbers, relative residuals and convergence in FSI computation. The results show that the proposed preconditioning technique greatly improves calculation accuracy and efficiency. The priority of the modified FSI preconditioner is verified. The proposed preconditioning technique provides an efficient solution procedure and paves the way for practical application of simultaneous solution for wind-structure interaction computation.

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a process extruding and stacking materials. PLA materials are one of the most frequently used materials for FFF method of 3D printing. Polylactic acid (PLA)-based materials are among the most widely used materials for FFF-based three-dimensional (3D) printing. PLA is an eco-friendly material made using starch extracted from corn, as opposed to plastic made using conventional petroleum resin; PLA-based materials are used in various fields, such as packaging, aerospace, and medicines. However, it is important to analyze the mechanical properties of theses materials, such as elastic strength, before using them as structural materials. In this study, the reliability of PLA-based materials is assessed through an analysis of the changes in the linear elasticity of these materials under thermal degradation by applying a hyperelastic analytical model.

BEASY is a soft-ware tool which may be used to solve problems in heat transfer(linear and non-linear, steady state and transient) and linear elastic stress analysis. It is based on the boundary element method. The central part is the analysis module, called BEASY. For pre- and post-processing the BEASY Interactive Modeling System BEASY-IMS can be used. Three examples are devoted to show the capability of BEASY.

Geometrical non-linearity due to the flexibility of cables must be considered efficiently in the dynamic analysis of cable structures. In this paper, formulation of tangent stiffness matrix of elastic catenary cable is derived by using relative nodal displacements, self-weight and unstressed cable length. Free vibration analysis of simply supported cable using elastic catenary cable elements is conducted and compared with that using truss elements. The result shows that elastic catenary cable elements are more compatible than truss elements in the case of analysis of cable structures. Furthermore, the characteristic of dynamic behaviors of cable structures by temporary unstability phenomenon is confirmed.

A viscoelastic finite element analysis is presented to investigate residual stresses occurred in a laminated cylindrical shell during cure. An incremental viscoelastic constitutive equation that can describe stress relaxation during the cure is derived as a recursive formula which can be used conveniently for a numerical analysis. The finite element analysis program is developed on the basis of a 3-D degenerated shell element and the first order shear deformation theory, and is verified by comparing with an one dimensional exact solution. Viscoelastic effect on the residual stresses in the laminated shell during the cure is investigated by performing both the viscoelastic and linear elastic analyses considering thermal deformation and chemical shrinkage simultaneously. The results show that there is big difference between viscoelastic stresses and linear elastic stresses. The effect of cooling rates and cooling paths on the residual stresses is also examined.

It is well known that the application of linear elastic fracture mechanics is inadequate to solve the large deformation fracture failures which occurr in ductile manner because of the large scale yielding due to the severe stress concentration in the region adjacent to the crack tip. The authors have been evolved a fracture model, the crack plane equilibrium model, for this kinds of elastic-plastic fracture problems in the previous report. In this report, the crack plane equilibrium model was compared with the Irwin's plastic zone corrected linear elastic fracture mechanics through theoretical comparisons and experimental results to examine the validity of the crack plane equilibrium model as an available tool for nonlinear fracture analysis. Through this study, the main results were reached as follows; Irwin's plastic zone corrected linear elastic fracture mechanics could be applicable only for small scale yielding problems as expected while the crack plane equilibrium model valid as a fracture model for large deformation fracture failure. However, the followings should be considered for the more precise evaluations of CPE model; 1) It is necessary to test more specimens which contain small cracks in the range of 2a/W<0.1. 2) It is important to detect the crack initiation point during the fracture test for determining an accurate fracture load. 3) Effects of specimen thickness in the fracture process zone should be examined.

A multi layered elastic analysis program, IDYSPAP, was developed. The objective of this study was to develop the IDYSPAP program on Graphic User Interface environment for field engineers using Visual Basic, which was considered span of multi-wheels and maximum 4 axles using superposition of linear elastic theorem. It is suggested that this study considers algorithm with dynamic properties of asphalt layer on various temperature and non-linear properties of subbase and subgrade on stress non-linearity for asphalt pavement structure. This Program was modified to divide asphalt layer automatically according to layer division concept. The developed program was verified with initial measuring data in test road sections of KEC (Korea Expressway Co.) using laboratory test results.
