This paper presents an algorithm for structural reliability with the response surface method. For this aim, an approach with three stages is proposed named as improved response surface method. In the algorithm, firstly, a quadratic approximate function is formed and design point is determined with First Order Reliability Method. Secondly, a point close to the exact limit state function is searched using the design point. Lastly, vector projected method is used to generate the sample points and Second Order Reliability Method is performed to obtain reliability index and probability of failure. Five numerical examples are selected to illustrate the proposed algorithm. The limit state functions of three examples (cantilever beam, highly nonlinear limit state function and dynamic response of an oscillator) are defined explicitly and the others (frame and truss structures) are defined implicitly. ANSYS finite element program is utilized to obtain the response of the structures which are needed in the reliability analysis of implicit limit state functions. The results (reliability index, probability of failure and limit state function evaluations) obtained from the improved response surface are compared with those of Monte Carlo Simulation, First Order Reliability Method, Second Order Reliability Method and Classical Response Surface Method. According to the results, proposed algorithm gives better results for both reliability index and limit state function evaluations.

This paper describes a recent development on the divergence free basis function based on a hermite stream function and verifies its validity by comparing results with those from a modified residual method known as one of stabilized finite element methods. It can be shown that a proper choice of degrees of freedom at a node with a proper arrangement of the hermite interpolation functions can yield solenoidal or divergent free interpolation functions for the velocities. The well-known cavity problem has been chosen for validity of the present algorithm. The comparisons from numerical results between the present and the modified residual showed the present method yields better results in both the velocity and the pressure within modest Reynolds numbers(Re = 1,000).

In order to estimate space charging process in the corona charging apparatus which has been used to make polymer electret cell, the electrical properties of 30[${\mu}m$] thick polypropylene film were obtained from TSC measurement after corona charging between copper knife electrode and aluminum cylinder electrode with the voltage of -8, -7, -6, -5 (kV). And, the electrostatic contour and the electric field vector were calculated using Finite Element Method with the electrical properties obtained from TSC spectra analysis. The edge effect around the edge of knife electrode affects electrostatic contour on the surface of specimen and the electric field concentration inside the polymer. As a result the uneven charging state in the electret cell due to the mistake of design was calculated, and the optimal design of corona charging apparatus opprobriate to various specimen was come to be practicable.

The hybrid method using the extended finite element method (XFEM) and the forward Euler approach is widely employed to predict the fatigue life of plate structures. Due to the accuracy of the forward Euler approach is determined by a small step size, the performance of fatigue life prediction of the hybrid method is not agreeable. Instead the forward Euler approach, a prediction method using midpoint method and support vector regression (SVR) is presented to evaluate the stress intensity factors (SIFs) and the fatigue life. Firstly, the XFEM is employed to calculate the SIFs with given crack sizes. Then use the history of SIFs as a function of either number of fatigue life cycles or crack sizes within the current cycle to build a prediction model. Finally, according to the prediction model predict the SIFs at different crack sizes or different cycles. Three numerical cases composed by a homogeneous plate with edge crack, a composite plate with edge crack and center crack are introduced to verify the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method enables large step sizes without sacrificing accuracy. The method is expected to predict the fatigue life of complex structures.

Finite element analysis of fluid flow with moving free surface has been carried out in two and tree dimensions. The new VOF-based numerical algorithm that has been proposed by the present authors was applied to several 2-D and 3-D free surface flow problems. The proposed free surface tracking scheme is based on two numerical tools that have been newly introduced by the present authots; the orientation vector to represent the free surface orientation in each cell and the baby-cell to determine the fluid volume flux at each cell boundary. The proposed numerical algorithm has been applied to 2-D and 3-D cavity filling and sloshing problems, which demonstrated versatility and effectiveness of the new free surface tracking scheme as well as the overall solution procedure. The proposed numerical algorithm resolved successfully the interacting free surface with each other. The simulated results demonstrated the applicability of proposed numerical algorithm to the practical problems of large free surface motion. Also, it has been demonstrated that the proposed free surface tracking scheme can be easily implemented in any irregular non-uniform grid systems and can be extended to the 3-D free surface flow problem without additional efforts.

유한요소법을 이용한 전자기장의 3차원 모델링은 전자기장의 연속조건을 수치해가 만족하지 못함으로 인해서 발생하는 벡터 기생해(vector parasite)의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 벡터 기생해로 인한 오차를 줄이기 위해, 기저함수가 크기와 방향을 가지는 벡터요소를 도입하였다. 유한요소 행렬식은 complex BCG법을 적용하여 계산시간과 기억용량을 줄이고자 하였으며, 반복적인 해의 수렴속도 향상을 위해서 Point Jacobi법을 적용하였다. 개발된 알고리듬을 수직 전기 쌍극자 송신원을 이용한 층서구조 모형에 적용하여 이를 층서구조의 해와 비교함으로써 수치 모델링 알고리듬의 타당성을 검증하였으며, 이 과정에서 기존의 유한요소법에서 발생하는 벡터 기생해의 문제점이 벡터요소를 이용하는 경우에는 나타나지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 개발된 3차원 전자탐사 모델링 기법의 고주파수 영역으로의 적용성을 고찰하기 위하여, 100MHz의 수직 자기 쌍극자 송신원을 이용한 모델링을 유전율 이상층이 존재하는 층서구조 모형에 적용하여, 이를 층서구조 해와 비교하여 알고리듬의 타당성을 확인하였다. 검증된 3차원 전자탐사 모델링 기법을 유전율 이상체에 적용하여 이상체 주변에서의 전기장의 반응을 공간적으로 살펴보았다 이 연구에서 개발된 벡터요소를 사용한 3차원 고주파 전자탐사 모델링 기법은 기존의 전기전도도 이상체 뿐만 아니라 유전율 이상체에 대한 모델링을 가능하게 하여, 고주파 전자탐사법의 새로운 적용 및 해석의 기반을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes a one-dimensional fiber beam element model taking account of materially non-linear behavior, benefiting the highly efficient elastic-plastic analysis of girders with shear-lag effects. Based on the displacement-based fiber beam-column element, two additional degrees of freedom (DOFs) are added into the proposed model to consider the shear-lag warping deformations of the slabs. The new finite element (FE) formulations of the tangent stiffness matrix and resisting force vector are deduced with the variational principle of the minimum potential energy. Then the proposed element is implemented in the OpenSees computational framework as a newly developed element, and the full Newton iteration method is adopted for an iterative solution. The typical materially non-linear behaviors, including the cracking and crushing of concrete, as well as the plasticity of the reinforcement and steel girder, are all considered in the model. The proposed model is applied to several test cases under elastic or plastic loading states and compared with the solutions of theoretical models, tests, and shell/solid refined FE models. The results of these comparisons indicate the accuracy and applicability of the proposed model for the analysis of both concrete box girders and steel-concrete composite girders, under either elastic or plastic states.

Previous works about the cylindrical shape elastic body which is under longitudinal temperature distribution mostly show the results of free expansion, therefore exact thermo-elastic analysis is needed. The object of this work is to analyze the thermo-elastic problem of the hollow cylinder when the cylinder is under longitudinal temperature distribution. In this paper, the analytical solution is found by using Galerkin vector, and it is compared by the results of FEM. For displacements of cylinder, analytical values are almost same as the results of FEM, but free expansion is not fit for analytical solution and the results of FEM. stresses from analytical solution and the results of FEM show good agreement also. but the results are different near the end boundary, since St. Venant principle is applied.
