The finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical technique to find solutions of field problems. A field problem is approximated by differential equations or integral expressions. In a finite element, the field quantity is allowed to have a simple spatial variation in terms of linear or polynomial functions. This paper represents a review and an accuracy-study of the finite element method comparing the FEA results with the exact solution. The exact solutions were calculated by solid mechanics and FEA using matrix stiffness method. For this study, simple bar and cantilever models were considered to evaluate four types of basic elements - constant strain triangle (CST), linear strain triangle (LST), bi-linear-rectangle(Q4),and quadratic-rectangle(Q8). The bar model was subjected to uniaxial loading whereas in case of the cantilever model moment loading was used. In the uniaxial loading case, all basic element results of the displacement and stress in x-direction agreed well with the exact solutions. In the moment loading case, the displacement in y-direction using LST and Q8 elements were acceptable compared to the exact solution, but CST and Q4 elements had to be improved by the mesh refinement.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to analyze and evaluate the behavior of orthotropic steel bridge deck pavement using three-dimensional finite element analysis and full-scale wheel load testing. METHODS: Since the layer thickness and material properties used in the bridge deck pavement are different from its condition, it is very difficult to measure and access the behavior of bridge deck pavement in the field. To solve this problem, the full-scale wheel load testing was conducted on the PSMA/Mastic bridge deck pavement and the deflection of bridge deck and horizontal tensile strain on top of pavement were measured under the loading condition. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to predict the behavior of bridge deck pavement and the predicted deflection and tensile strain values are compared with measured values from the wheel loading testing. RESULTS: Test results showed that the predicted deflections are 10% lower than measured ones and the error between predicted and measured horizontal tensile strain values is less than 2% in the critical location. CONCLUSIONS: The fact indicates that the proposed the analysis is found to be accurate for estimating the behavior of bridge deck pavements.

In this paper, a finite element domain decomposition method using local and mixed Lagrange multipliers for a large scal structural analysis is presented. The proposed algorithms use local and mixed Lagrange multipliers to improve computational efficiency. In the original FETI method, classical Lagrange multiplier technique was used. In the dual-primal FETI method, the interface nodes are used at the corner nodes of each sub-domain. On the other hand, the proposed FETI-local analysis adopts localized Lagrange multipliers and the proposed FETI-mixed analysis uses both global and local Lagrange multipliers. The numerical analysis results by the proposed algorithms are compared with those obtained by dual-primal FETI method.

부재 교차 결합부 조건에 따른 초기강성은 고정 조건인 경우와 비교하여 반고정 조건인 경우 33% 작게 나타났으나 부재 교차 결합부 특성에 의하여 재하지점과 3m 떨어진 지점에서는 9% 크게 나타났다. 즉, 고정 조건인 경우 구조물 전체로 하중이 분산되어 재하지점과 떨어진 지점에서는 상대적으로 반고정 조건 구조물의 강성이 높게 나타났다. 기초 조건에 따른 초기 강성은 강관 삽입 기초의 경우에는 고정기초 조건과 비교하여 31% 크게 나타났으며, 휨강성은 20% 높게 나타났다. 인터페이스 요소(beam interface element, BIE) 및 지반요소(3-D solid element)를 사용하여 재하시험 결과를 기반으로 각종 계수를 산정하고 시험조건과 동일하게 수치모델링하여 유한요소해석을 수행한 결과 실험결과와 유사한 구조거동을 나타냈다. 그러나 극한하중 조건에서는 비선형 특성의 발현 등에 의하여 다소 상이한 결과 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 플라스틱 필름 온실의 설계 및 구조성능 평가에서 절점 및 지점 조건에 대한 임의 또는 과다한 이상화는 구조물의 성능 평가에 적지 않은 영향을 줄 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편 플라스틱 필름 온실은 세장한 부재로 구성된 유연한 철골 구조물이므로 구조성능 산정에 있어서 좌굴과 함께 대변형 및 지반의 비선형 특성 등을 충분히 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the behaviors of the gabled hyperbolic paraboloid shell structure subjected to differential settlement and the horizontal displacement due to the elongation of tie rod/beam on supports. Two types of shell structure with different roof slopes are used in study; conventional type which has perimeter beams around the shell panel, and simple type which removes the edge beams along the slab edge line. The effect of the removal of edge beam under vertical or horizontal displacement on supports, and the roof slope was compared using the finite element analysis.

PURPOSES: A viscoelastic axisymmetric finite element analysis code has been developed for stress analysis of asphalt pavement structures. METHODS: Generalized Maxwell Model (GMM) and 4-node isoparametric element were employed for finite element formulation. The code was developed using C++ computer program language and named as KICTPAVE. For the verification of the developed code, a structural model of a pavement system was constructed. The structural model was composed of three layers: asphalt layer, crushed stone layer, and soil subgrade. Two types of analysis were considered for the verification: (1)elastic static analysis, (2)viscoelastic time-dependent analysis. For the elastic static analysis, linear elastic material model was assigned to all the layers, and a static load was applied to the structural model. For the viscoelastic time-dependent analysis, GMM and linear elastic material model were assigned to the asphalt layer and all the other layers respectively, and a cyclic loading condition was applied to the structural model. RESULTS: The stresses and deformations from KICTPAVE were compared with those from ABAQUS. The analysis results obtained from the two codes showed good agreement in time-dependent response of the element under the loading area as well as the surface deformation of asphalt layer, and horizontal and vertical stresses along the axisymmetric axis. CONCLUSIONS: The validity of KICTPAVE was confirmed by showing the agreement of the analysis results from the two codes.

To fabricate a precise micro metal mold, the electrochemical etching process has been researched. We investigated the electrochemical etching process numerically and experimentally to determine the etching tendency of the process, focusing on the current density, which is a major parameter of the process. The finite element method, a kind of numerical analysis, was used to determine the current density distribution on the workpiece. Stainless steel(SS304) substrate with various sized square and circular array patterns as an anode and copper(Cu) plate as a cathode were used for the electrochemical experiments. A mixture of H2SO4, H3PO4, and DIW was used as an electrolyte. In this paper, comparison of the results from the experiment and the numerical simulation is presented, including the current density distribution and line profile from the simulation, and the etching profile and surface morphology from the experiment. Etching profile and surface morphology were characterized using a 3D-profiler and FE-SEM measurement. From a comparison of the data, it was confirmed that the current density distribution and the line profile of the simulation were similar to the surface morphology and the etching profile of the experiment, respectively. The current density is more concentrated at the vertex of the square pattern and circumference of the circular pattern. And, the depth of the etched area is proportional to the current density.

In order to improve osseointegration of dental implants with bone we studied an implant with holes inside its body to deliver bioactive materials based on a proposed patent. Bioactive materials can be selectively applied through holes to a patient according to diagnosis and the integration progress. After the bioactive material is applied, bone can grow into the holes to increase implant bonding and also enhance surface integration. In order to improve the concept and study the effect of bioactive material injection on implant integration, design optimization and integration research were undertaken utilizing the finite element method. A 2-dimensional simulation study showed that when bone grew into the holes after the bioactive material was injected, stress vertically distributed in the upper part of the implant was relieved and mild stress appeared at the opening of the injection holes. This confirmed the effect of the bioactive material and the contribution of the injection holes, but the maximum stress increased ten-fold at the opening. In order to reduce the maximum stress, the size, location, and the number of holes were varied and the effects were studied. When bioactive materials formed an interface layer between the implant and the mandible and four holes were filled with cortical and cancellous bones all the stress concentrated opposite to the loading side without holes disappeared. The stresses at the four outlets of the holes was mildly elevated but the maximum stress value was ten-fold greater compared to the case without the bioactive material.

본 연구에서는 쉘의 테두리를 보가 둘러싸고 있는 전통적인 형태와 모서리보를 제거한 형태의 모임지붕형 쌍곡포물선쉘구조의 유한요소해석결과비교를 통해 모서리보의 역할을 확인하고, 또한 지붕의 경사도의 영향을 분석하였다. 유한요소해석에 의하면 쉘면에 작용하는 하중은 쉘 대각선 방향의 아치작용을 통해 모퉁이의 지점에 직접 전달되므로 막이론에 비해 테두리보에는 부재력이 작게 작용하고 모퉁이의 지점 부분의 쉘에는 응력이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 모서리보를 제거하면 지점 부근의 쉘에 더욱 응력이 집중되고 경사진 모서리 부분의 처짐이 증가하는데 이와 같은 현상은 지붕의 경사도가 낮아짐에 따라 현저해지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 모임지붕형 쌍곡포물선쉘 구조에서는 지점 부분의 쉘두께를 보다 증가할 필요가 있으며 경사도가 낮은 쌍곡포물선쉘 구조의 모서리보 제거는 주의가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

최근 건축 경향에 따라 단층 프리폼 구조에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 축력과 모멘트를 동시에 받는 구조적인 특성으로 인해 프리폼 구조에서 노드는 응력이 집중되는 부분으로 상세 개발이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문은 단층 프리폼 구조의 모멘트형 노드를 제안하고 축력과 모멘트에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석을 통해 내력이 검증된 모델에 구멍 크기 및 위치에 따른 변수를 적용하여 변수해석을 진행하였고 결과를 비교분석하여, 구조적인 성능을 만족하여 안전성을 가지고 동시에 물량도 가장 절약할 수 있는 노드 Prototype을 결정하였다.

The size of hydrogen molecule is not so small as to invade into the lattice of material, and therefore, hydrogen invades into the material as atom. Hydrogen movement is done by diffusion or dislocation movement in the near crack tip or plastic deformation. Hydrogen appeared to have many effects on the mechanical properties of the Cr-Mo steel alloys. The materials for this study are 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 2.25Cr-1Mo steels used at high temperature and pressure. The hydrogen amount obtained by theoretical calculation was almost same with the result solved by finite element analysis. The distribution of hydrogen concentration and average concentration was calculated for a flat specimen. Also, finite element analysis was employed to simulate the redistribution of hydrogen due to stress gradient. The calculation of hydrogen concentration diffused into the material by finite element method will provide the basis for the prediction of delayed fracture of notched specimen. The distribution of hydrogen concentration invaded into the smooth and notched specimen was obtained by finite element analysis. The hydrogen amount is much in smooth specimen and tends to concentrate in the vicinity of surface. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of notched specimen after hydrogen charging is more remarkable than that of smooth specimen.

The finite element model of various laminated composite structures with delamination is developed based on the higher-order shear deformation theory. In the finite element formulation for the delamination, the seven degrees of freedom per each node are used with transformations in order to fit the displacement continuity conditions at the delamination region. The numerical results obtained for various composite plates and shells with delaminations are in good agreement with those of other preceding investigations. The new results for laminated structures in this study mainly show the effect of the interactions between the geometries and other various parameters, for example, delamination size, the number of layer and location of delamination in the layer direction. Key observation points are discussed and a brief design guideline is given.
