In this study, analysis on the stiffness of the headrest, the stiffness of front-rear load and the torsion of cushion frame was performed using finite element method in order to investigate the properties of the stress-deformation by material characteristics according to the test requirements of FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard). The results are shown that AZ31 (Mg alloy) and A365 (Al alloy) with low modulus of elasticity and density have higher strain rate than steel in terms of stress-deformation and meet the standards for safety within 108 mm of the maximum amount of deformation. Considering it’s safety and durability, however, the selection of AZ31 for light weight seems difficult to gain the reliability because it causes an excessive deformation, and therefore it is not expected to be used for recliner where stress is concentrated and also the bracket linking rail and cushion frame.
Orthodontic is important to apply the optimal orthodontic force. The orthodontic bracket is deformed and the stress caused by tension and torsion of the wire. In this study, using the ANSYS the material that is currently widely used in orthodontic bracket material of stainless steel, ceramic, titanium, polycarbonate, by applying the nitinol analyzed the strain and the stress distribution on the bracket side. Simulation results on the stress distribution and deformation, and it was found a difference of each material.
In this paper, an efficient yet accurate method for the thermal stress analysis using a first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) is presented. The main objective herein is to systematically modify transverse shear strain energy through the mixed variational theorem(MVT). In the mixed formulation, independent transverse shear stresses are taken from the efficient higher-order zigzag plate theory, and the in-plane displacements are assumed to be those of the FSDT. Moreover, a smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the transverse normal displacement field in order to consider a transverse normal deformation. The resulting strain energy expression is referred to as an enhanced first order shear deformation theory, which is obtained via the mixed variational theorem with transverse normal deformation effect(EFSDTM_TN). The EFSDTM_TN has the same computational advantage as the FSDT_TN(FSDT with transverse normal deformation effect) does, which allows us to improve the through-the-thickness distributions of displacements and stresses via the recovery procedure. The thermal stresses obtained by the present theory are compared with those of the FSDT_TN and three-dimensional elasticity.
The deformation under radial pressure of rectangular dies for metal powder compaction has been investigated by FEM. The explored variables have been: aspect ratio of die profile, ratio between diagonal of the profile and die height, insert and ring thickness, radius at die corners, interference, different insert materials, i. e. conventional HSS, HSS from powders, cemented carbide (10% Co). The analyses have ascertained the unwanted appearance of tensile normal stress on brittle materials, also "at rest", and even some dramatic changes of stress patterns as the die height increases with respect to the rectangular profile dimensions. Different materials behave differently, mainly due to difference of thermal expansion coefficients. Profile changes occur when the dies are heated up to the temperature required for warm compaction. The deformation patterns depend on compaction temperature and thermal expansion coefficients.
공기막구조물의 공간형성방법은 크게 단일공기막과 이중공기막 방식으로 나뉜다. 내압으로 인해 평형곡면이 형성되는 공기막구조물의 형상은 형태의 변화가 외력에 의해 크게 변형되거나 응력이 집중되지 않는 등장력 곡면으로 많이 이용된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공기막 구조물의 초기 형성된 형상에 대해서 설계하중조합에 대한 구조해석을 비선형 전용해석프로그램인 NASS를 이용하여 수행한 후 변형형상을 살펴보고, 최대응력을 이용하여 안전성을 검토한다. 해석 모델은 사면에서 지지되는 장방형 단일공기막 구조물을 대상으로 하며, 직교이방성을 고려하여 비선형 증분해석을 수행한다.
강구조물에 있어서 여러 가지 환경요인에 의해 균열 및 부식 등의 문제가 발생되고 있다. 이는 구조물의 내구성을 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 용접 보수보강방법을 사용할 수 있다. 이러한 보수용접은 전단 및 용접과 같은 입열 과정을 필연적으로 수반하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 입열과정에 있어서 발생되는 잔류응력 및 변형의 예측제어방지는 구조물의 안전이라는 측면에서 볼 때 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 및 3차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하여 가스전단 및 아크용접에 의해 얻어진 절단 및 용접 잔류응력과 변형을 구하였으며, 2차원 및 3차원 해석기법에 따른 그 값의 정도를 명확히 하였다. 해석기법에 따라 2차원 및 3차원 해석을 수행하여 얻은 절단 및 용접 잔류응련의 분포 및 그 절대치는 유사한 값을 나타내었다.
