The estimation of heat source model is very important for heat transfer analysis with finite element method. Part I of this study used adaptive simulated annealing which is one of the global optimization algorithm for anticipating the parameters of the Goldak model. Although the analysis with 3D model which depicted the real situation produced the correct answer, that took too much time with moving heat source model based on Fortran and Abaqus. This research suggests the procedure which can reduce time with maintaining quality of analysis. The lead time with 2D model is reduced by 90% comparing that of 3D model, the temperature distribution is similar to each other. That is based on the saturation of heat transfer among the direction of heat source movement. Adaptive simulated annealing with 2D model can be used to estimate more proper heat source model and which could enhance to reduce the resources and time for experiments.

Anticipation of welding deformation with finite element method is a very interested topic in the industries, adequate heat source model is essential for concluding reasonable results. This study is related to estimate the parameters of Goldak heat source model, and global optimization algorithm is applied to this research. The heat affected zone (HAZ) boundary line of bead on plate (BOP) welding is used as the target, parameters of heat sources are used as the variables. Adaptive simulated annealing is applied and the optimal result is obtained out of 1,000 candidates. The convergence of finite element method and the global optimization is meaningful for estimation of welding deformation, which could enhance to reduce the resources and time for experiments.

본 연구에서는 다공성 보와 논로컬 매개변수 사이의 관계에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행한다. 논로컬 매개변수는 다공성 보의 결함을 표현하는 변수들로 정의하여, 하중조건 및 경계조건에 대한 수치모사를 통해 계산한다. 다공성 보와는 반대 개념의 결함을 가지는 보에 대한 해석도 수행하였다. 이러한 보들의 거동은 논로컬 매개변수의 항으로 표현하였으며, 이 매개변수는 구멍의 지름의 제곱 그리고 원기둥 지름의 세제곱에 비례하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 작은 원기둥을 가지는 보에 축하중을 가하는 경우, 예상과는 다르게 3 차원 유한요소 해석 결과와 2차원 평면응력 해석 결과는 다름을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the use of transfer slab system has increased greatly. However, several construction problems are being encountered owing to its excessive thickness. Therefore, in this study, a transfer slab system that uses a reverse drop panel, which can utilize the facility space of the pit floor by reducing the transfer slab thickness, was considered. To investigate the shear behavior of transfer slab system that uses the reverse drop panel, the two-way shear strength of transfer slab-column connection with the reverse drop panel was analyzed using nonlinear FE analysis. In addition, the two-way shear strength evaluations of transfer slab with the reverse drop panel conducted using the existing evaluation methods were verified by comparing the strengths predicted by those methods with the results of nonlinear FE analysis.

The performance enhancement of various damping systems from natural hazards has become an highly important issue in engineering field. In this paper, ENTA hysteretic dampers were tested under cyclic loadings to evaluate their performance in terms of ductility and energy dissipation. The test results showed that the hysteretic dampers are effective damping systems to enhance the buildings performance for remodeling and retrofit of buildings. Also, the hysteretic dampers were modeled in FEM(Finite Element Method) structural analysis program. As comparing the computer modeling and the experiment, this study model reflects the nonlinear behavior of steel and derives the hysteresis loop.

V-type coupling, which is often applied to turbochargers, is a mechanical fastener where radial forces close turbine housing and bearing housing together. It prevents leakage of exhaust gases by contact pressure of the backplate caused by the load transmitted from the bolt-tightening torque. Therefore, it is important to study the mechanical behaviors of the coupling system in order to establish more accurate sealing assessment technologies. In this study, an experiment was first conducted to obtain the relationship between torque and its resulting axial force in a specially designed gage bolt. Strains were then measured when the torque was applied using the gauge bolts on the turbocharger. Thus, the magnitude of the axial force due to the bolt torque can be obtained inversely. In addition, the circumference and width strains of the turbocharger coupling were measured under the assembly load, and theses results were compared with the finite element results. As a result, they tend to be very similar, but in the ring area, analysis results show a relatively small value, and near the bolt, the analysis results are larger than the experimental strains. This is thought to be due to the reduced strains around the bolt by the hammering process.

This study was carried out to standardize the material properties of roll-over protective structure (ROPS) for agricultural tractor. The material properties which were obtained from stress-strain curve, a result of tensile test stress, were used to apply to the virtual test and varied from one production lot to the other and from one manufacturer to the other. And the finite element analysis was performed on the ROPS according to the OECD code. The results show that the load-displacement curves of virtual test were approximately equal to the actual test curves. The manufacturer or lot has been shown to have little effect on the properties of the material. Therefore, it is expected that the representative values that can be used in the finite element analysis can be determined by averaging the property values.

The design and analysis of the rigidity and deformation of the vehicle body are basically performed in two forms. First, the relative response of components separated from a parent system or connected as a model of a subsystem is examined. Second, the entire model is used to consider the absolute response of the components to the externally transmitted vehicle service load, which is defined as that of the entire vehicle body system. In this paper, we propose the finite element modeling for the structural design of the car body. First, we will explain the simple finite element modeling of the car body, explain the method of formulating the stiffness of the joint, and finally the shell element. The proposed finite element modeling is proposed. By applying the proposal, it is possible to propose finite element modeling of all medium and large passenger cars less than 3 tons.

본 논문은 Shaped charge jet(SCJ)의 관통 과정을 유한요소해석을 통해 모사하여 제트 입사속도, 관통률 그리고 관통량 증분과 같은 물리량들을 획득하였다. 이 물리량들을 hydrodynamic 이론에 적용하여 입사 제트 속도의 효율을 분석한 결과, 입사 속도가 빠른 제트의 관통 효율은 이어지는 느린 제트에 비해 높은 것을 확인하였다. 이 효율은 hydrodynamic limit (HL) 미만인 제트인 경우 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 한편, 시간에 따른 관통량 증분과 제트 소모량의 비교는 SCJ의 이론적인 관통현상 분석을 위해서는 길이 연장 효과를 고려해야함을 보였다.

대규모 유한요소 모델을 빠르게 해석하기는 위해서 병렬 희소 솔버를 필수적으로 적용해야 한다. 이논문에서는 미세하게 변화하는 시스템 행렬을 대상으로 연속적으로 해를 구해야 하는 문제에서 효율적으로 적용가능한 반복-직접 희소 솔버 조합 기법을 소개한다. 반복-직접 희소 솔버 조합 기법은 병렬 희소 솔버 패키지인 PARDISO에 제안 및 구현된 기법으로 새롭게 행렬값이 갱신된 선형 시스템의 해를 구할 때 이전 선형 시스템에 적용된 직접 희소 솔버의 행렬 분해(factorization) 결과를 Krylov 반복 희소 솔버의 preconditioner로 활용하는 방법을 의미한다. PARDISO에서는 미리 설정된 반복 회수까지 해가 수렴하지 않으면 직접 희소 솔버로 해를 구하며, 이후 이어지는 갱신된 선형 시스템의 해를 구할 때는 최종적으로 사용 된 직법 희소 솔버의 행렬 분해 결과를 preconditioner로 사용한다. 이 연구에서는 첫 번째 Krylov 반복 단계에서 소요되는 시간을 동적으로 계산하여 최대 반복 회수를 설정하는 기법을 제안하였으며, 주파수 영역 해석에 적용하여 그 효과를 검증 하였다.

최근 국내에서는 고층 벽식 아파트 건설 시, 하부 주차공간과 공용공간 확보를 위하여 RC 전이슬래브 시스템을 사용하는 경우가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 두께가 얇은 RC 무량판 슬래브를 위해 개발된 설계방법 및 구조성능평가 방법을 두께가 매우 두꺼운 전이슬래브 구조설계에 그대로 사용하고 있다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 합리적인 전이슬래브의 구조설계를 위해서는 RC 전이슬래브 시스템의 2면 전단거동 양상에 대한 명확한 분석이 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 전이슬래브의 두께, 콘크리트 강도, 전단경간비, 철근비 등 다양한 설계변수에 따라 비선형 FEM을 이용하여 전이슬래브의 2면 전단거동을 분석 하였다. 또한 비선형 FEM 해석결과와 기존의 2면 전단강도 평가식으로 예측한 전단강도를 비교분석하여 기존 평가식의 전이슬래브 2면 전단강도 평가 유효성을 검토하였다.

In this paper, we analyzed the safety on static and dynamic characteristics of a top-down evacuation instrument fixed on the exterior walls of a building using finite element analysis. For this purpose, the stress distribution characteristics of the H-beam structure were analyzed and the equivalent stress distribution, deflection displacement and natural frequency characteristics of the overall structure of the evacuation instrument were analyzed. The structures were applied with the materials of SS440 and SUS304. The static analysis results showed the elastic behavior with safety coefficients from 2.4 to 2.9, by confirming the structural safety. In addition, the analysis of the natural frequency characteristics confirmed that the vibration characteristics were higher than the external conditions of 20Hz.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study was to develop an asphalt pavement response model for a subsurface cavity section using the 3D finite element method and a statistical approach. METHODS: It is necessary to analyze the structural behavior of asphalt pavement with a subsurface cavity to evaluate the degree of risk for a road cave-in. A 3D finite element model was developed to simulate the subsurface cavity underneath asphalt pavement and was verified using the ILLIPAVE program. Finite element analysis was conducted for asphalt pavement sections with different asphalt layer thickness/modulus, and cavity depth and length, to generate the artificial pavement response database. The critical pavement response considered in this study was the tensile strain at the bottom of the asphalt layer because fatigue cracking is the main cause of road cave-in. The relationship between the critical pavement response and influencing factors was investigated using the pavement response database. The statistical regression approach was adopted to develop the asphalt pavement response model for predicting the critical pavement response of asphalt pavement with a subsurface cavity. RESULTS : It was found from the sensitivity analysis that the asphalt layer thickness or modulus, and cavity depth or length, are the major factors affecting road cave-in incidents involving asphalt pavement. The asphalt pavement response model showed high accuracy in predicting the tensile strain at the bottom of asphalt layer. It was found from the verification study that the R square value between finite element model and pavement response model were 0.969 and 0.978 in the cavity and intact sections, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The work reported in this paper was intended to figure out the pavement structural behavior and to develop a pavement response model for the occurrence of cavities underneath asphalt pavement using 3D finite element analysis. In the future, critical pavement response will be utilized to establish the criteria of risk of road cave-in based on various different conditions.
