A state-of-the-art report on the new finite elements formulated by the addition of nonconforming displacement modes has been presented. The development of a series improved nonconforming finite elements for the analysis of plate and shell structures is described in the first part of this paper. These new plate and shell finite elements are established by the combined use of different improvement schemes such as; the addition of nonconforming modes, the reduced (or selective) integration, and the construction of the substitute shear strain fields. The improvement achieved may be attributable to the fact that the merits of these improvement techniques are merged into the formation of the new elements in a complementary manner. It is shown that the results obtained by the new elements give significantly improved solutions without any serious defects such as; the shear locking, spurious zero energy mode for the linear as well as nonlinear benchmark problems. Recent developments in the transition elements that have a variable number of mid-side nodes and can be effectively used in the adaptive mesh refinement are presented in the second part. Finally, the nonconforming transition flat shell elements with drilling degrees of freedom are also presented.

A 4-node element for efficient finite element analysis of plate bending is presented in this paper. This element is formulated based on Mindlin plate theory to take account of shear deformation. To overcome the overestimation of shear stiffness in thin Mindlin plate element, especially in the lower order element, five nonconforming displacement modes are added to the original displacement fields. The proposed nonconforming element does not possess spurious zero-energy mode and does not show shear locking phenomena in very thin plate even for distorted mesh shapes. It was recognized from benchmark numerical tests that the displacement converges to the analytical solutions rapidly and the stress distributions are very smooth. The element also provides good results for the case of high aspect ratio.

The present work is concerned with the improvement of finite element for the analysis of plate bending structures. The element formulation is based upon Mindlin plate concept. The displacement field of this element is formed by adding nonconforming modes to two rotational displacement components of a 'heterosis plate element. The element has the requisite numbers of zero eigenvalues associated with rigid body modes to avoid the spurious zero energy mode. It is shown that the results obtained by the element converged to the exact solutions very rapidly as the mesh is refined and exhibited reliable solutions through numerical studies for standard benchmark problems. This element is shown to overcome the shear locking problem completely in very thin plate situation even for irregular meshes.

A versatile flat shell element has been developed by combining a membrane element with drilling degree-of-freedom and a plate bending element. This element is formulated by the enhanced displacement field with the additional non-conforming displacement modes. Thus the element possesses six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) per node which permits an easy connection to other six DOF elements as well as the improvement of the element behavior. In plate bending part, this element is established by the combined use of the addition of non-conforming modes, the reduced (or selective) integration scheme, and the construction of the substitute shear strain fields. The achieved improvement may be attributable to the fact that the merits of these individual techniques are merged into the new element in a complementary manner. In membrane part, this element shows better membrane behavior as the nonconforming displacement mode is added to drilling mode.

The objective of this paper is to extend the use of the improved degenerated shell element to the linear and the large displacement analysis of plates and shells with laminated composites. In the formulation of the element stiffness, the combined use of three different techniques was made. This element is free of serious shear/membrane locking problems and undesirable compatible/commutable spurious kinematic deformation modes. The total Lagrangian approach has been utilized for the definition of the deformation and the solution to the nonlinear equilibrium equations is obtained by the Newton-Raphson method. The applicability and accuracy of this improved degenerated shell element in the analysis of laminated composite plates and shells are demonstrated by solving several numerical examples.

ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)은 광대역망에서 여러 형태의 멀티미디어 서비스를 지원하는 수단을 제공한다. 요즘 통신망으로 ATM의 채택이 증가하고, 이 망들이 멀티미디어 통신을 하기 위해 많은 데이터들이 오고 갈 때, 영상을 효율적으로 트래픽 제어함으로써 통신망에 끼치는 영향을 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 장면 전환 검출에 관해 State(상태) 알고리즘, Standard deviation(표준편차) 알고리즘, Percentage(가중치) 알고리즘 등을 이용한 장면 전환 검출의 성능 시험을 했다. Stage 알고리즘은 n상태로 나누어서 이루어지고, Standard deviation 알고리즘은 통계적 측면을 다룬 것이고, Percentage 알고리즘은 비례에 의해 이루어진다. 그 중에 Percentage를 이용한 장면 전환 검출 알고리즘은 다른 알고리즘에 비해 능동적이고 효율적임을 보여 이를 제안한다. GCRA(Generic Cell Rate Algorithm)를 통해 트래픽 관련 파라미터의 지정에 관련한 Nonconforming 셀률에 의한 CDVT와 PCR의 분석을 시도한다. 이 때에도 마찬가지로 Percentage 알고리즘과 GCRA를 장면 전환 검출 데이터와의 상관관계를 통해 파라미터를 정하여 트래픽 관련 GCRA 알고리즘에 적용할 수 있다.

Cars are inspected in the transport sector for their ability to achieve the greenhouse gas reduction targets. A vehicle (automobile) inspection broadly consists of regular and total checks, and both the safety level and the amount of exhaust gas are checked simultaneously during a vehicle inspection. This study deals with the efficiency of a soot probe to measure soot emissions from diesel vehicles. When the vehicle exhaust gas measurement is performed, there may be a difference between the exhaust gas temperature and the soot suction amount because of the different shape and angle of the exhaust port for each vehicle type. This may result in some incidents where the correct inspection nonconforming vehicle is not selected. Therefore, in this study, the shape of the probe was improved to increase the soot measurement efficiency under the condition of the exhaust pipe angle change.

A versatile 4-node shell element which is useful for the analysis of arbitrary shell structures is presented. The element is developed by flat shell approach, i.e., by combining a membrane element with a Mindlin plate element. The proposed element has six degrees of freedom per node and permits an easy connection to other types of finite elements. In the plate bending part, an improved Mindlin plate has been established by the combined use of the addition of non-conforming displacement modes (N) and the substitute shear strain fields (S). In the membrane part, the nonconforming displacement modes are also added to the displacement fields to improve the behavior of membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom and the modified numerical integration (M) is used to overcome the membrane locking problem. Thus the element is designated as NMS-4F. The rigid link correction technique is adopted to consider the effect of out-of-plane warping. The shell element proposed herein passes the patch tests, does not show any spurious mechanism and does not produce shear and membrane locking phenomena. It is shown that the element produces reliable solutions even for the distorted meshes through the analysis of benchmark problems.
