Magnetostrictive materials have been used for linear actuators due to its large strain, large force output with moderate frequency band in the presence of magnetic field. However their performance analysis is difficult because of nonlinear material behaviors in terms of coupled strain-magnetic field dependence, nonlinear permeability, pre-stress dependence and hysteresis. This paper presents a finite element analysis technique for magnetostrictive linear actuator. To deal with coupled problems and nonlinear behaviors, a simple finite element approach is proposed, which is based on separate magnetic field calculation and displacement simulation. The finite element formulation and an in-house program development are illustrated, and a simulation model is made for a magnetostrictive linear actuator. The fabrication and performance test of the linear actuator are explained, and the performance comparison with simulation result is shown. Since this approach is simple, it can be applied for analyzing magnetostrictive underwater projectors and ultrasonic transducers.

본 연구에서는 경계부 및 연결부를 지닌 기계 구조물의 유한요소모델 수립시 상대적으로 불확실성이 많은 경계부 및 연결부를 정확히 모델링하여 전체 구조계에 대한 해석적 모델의 신뢰도를 제고하는데 그 목적을 두고, 현장에서 간단히 측정할 수 있는 측정 데이터와 축약된 형태의 유한요소모델을 이용하는 S.I.기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법은 연결부를 제외한 연속체를 유한요소법으로 모델링하고 연결부의 동적 계수를 변수 상태로 하여 시간 영역에서의 비선형 상태 방정식을 구성하였으며 계수 규명 문제를 비선형 상태 방정식의 상태 추정 문제로 변환하여 해결하였다. 두 가지 예제에 대한 수치 해석을 통하여 제시된 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

This paper describes a moving mesh technique for dynamic characteristics analysis of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor with the secondary aluminium sheet. The moving mesh technique applied to the linear induction motor can be used to analyze the linear synchronous motor with the rectangular permanent magnet. But in case of the permanent magnet with taper, the shape of the permanent magnet is presented. The time-stepped finite element method is used for the dynamic characteristics simulation of the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor, The results of application example(hysteresis current controlled inverter fed control) such as thrust, current and flux plots are shown.

This paper describes a versatile finite element technique which has been used to investigate of wide range of structural defects of practical importance. The procedure automatically remeshes the three-dimensional finite element model during the stages of crack growth. Problems analyzed to date include the surface cracks in leak-before-break situations, the development of quarter-elliptical corner defects, planar semi-elliptical surface defects and the fatigue growth of defects.

The non-linear static analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using the three-dimensional (3D) finite element method is a time-consuming and challenging task. Moreover, this type of analysis encounters numerical problems such as the lack of convergence of results in the stages of growth and propagation of cracks in the structure. The time integration analysis along with the mass scaling (MS) technique is usually used to overcome these limitations. Despite the use of this method in the 3D finite element analysis of RC structures, a comprehensive study has not been conducted so far to assess the effects of the MS method on the accuracy of results. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the MS method in the non-linear quasi-static finite element analysis of RC structures. To this aim, different types of RC structures were simulated using the finite element approach based on the implicit time integration method and the mass scaling technique. The influences of effective parameters of the MS method (i.e., the allowable values of increase in the mass of the RC structure, the relationship between the duration of the applied load and fundamental vibration period of the RC structure, and the pattern of applied loads) on the accuracy of the simulated results were investigated. The accuracy of numerical simulation results has been evaluated through comparison with existing experimental data. The results of this study show that the achievement of accurate structural responses in the implicit time integration analyses using the MS method involves the appropriate selection of the effective parameters of the MS method.

The finite leement method is a effetive analysis technique for obtaining approximate solutions of continuum problems with boundary conditions. This paper deals with the programming for the application of this method and the preciser analysis of the magnetic field in the air gap of the linear stepper motor by the method. The finite element analysis based on the variational principle is adopted and the computer program for reducing input data and a large number of the memory words required by the system matrix is presented. The 2-dimensional analysis of the air gap is made and several cases according to varying the position are considered.

A new method for the optimal design of a single-sided linear induction motor(SLIM) is presented. The method utilizes the neural networks and finite element method for optimizing the design parameters of SLIM. The finite element analysis is used to produce a variety of neural networks training data and the neural networks is used for optimizing the design parameters by sequential unconstrained minimization technique(SUMT). As a result, it is known that the novel method is very efficient and accurate as an optimization technique.

Non-uniform reinforced concrete brace facade systems are newly considered to improve seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings under lateral load. For normal and high strength concrete of 30MPa, 80MPa, and 120MPa, the cross-sections of reinforced concrete brace facade systems were designed as different size with same amount of reinforcements. The strengthened frame systems were analyzed by a non-linear two-dimensional finite element technique which was considering material non-linearities of concrete and reinforcing bars under monotonic and cyclic loadings. From the study of non-linear analysis of the systems, therefore, it was provided that the proposed braced facade systems were reliable to improve laterally load-carrying capacity and minimize damages of concrete members through comparisons of load-displacement curves, crack patterns, and stress distributions of reinforcing bars predicted by current non-linear finite element analysis of frame specimens.

A simple and efficient method is presented for the dynamics of interconnected flexible beams having large rigid body rotations. A simple mass matrix is obtained by interpolating the displacements in the global inertia frame, and the elastic force is also simply computed by using linear finite element technique with the moving frame attached to the beam. For the beams connected by revolute joints, kinematic constraints and relative rotations between the beans are not required and the equations of motions are time integrated by a simple ODE technique. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present technique.
