In this paper, a method of reducing the weight of vehicle wheels through topology optimization by finite element method is proposed. Recently, various environmental pollution caused by the operation of vehicles is gradually increasing, and this has a great correlation with the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Therefore, it is required to reduce the weight of the vehicle to increase fuel efficiency. Among them, the vehicle's wheels are a key part of vehicle acceleration and braking, and passenger safety. Because the shape of the wheels is different, various effects such as reduced fuel economy and reduced airpower occur as well as aesthetic factors. The stiffness of the wheels plays an important role in transmitting the vehicle's power to the tires and braking. In this study, to reduce weight while satisfying the stiffness value, we propose to use topology optimization to design an arbitrary shape according to the number of spokes on the wheel.

본 논문은 FRP 그리드로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 휨 성능을 예측하기 위한 해석적 연구결과를 제시한다. FRP 그리드 로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 휨 성능 예측을 위해 상용구조해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 유한요소해석이 수행되었다. 유 한요소해석 시 콘크리트와 FRP 그리드 간의 본드-슬립을 고려하였으며, 콘크리트와 FRP 그리드의 구속조건은 BEAM_IN_SOLID 모델이 적용되었다. 이후, 국내 여러 연구자들에 의해 수행된 실험 결과의 재현해석을 통해 제안된 유한요소해석 모델의 정확성 이 검증되었다. 최대하중, 최대하중 시의 변위 실험값에 대한 해석값의 비는 각각 0.990, 0.924, 표준편차 각각 0.056, 0.087로 제 안된 해석모델은 FRP 그리드로 보강된 콘크리트 보의 휨 성능을 잘 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 제안된 유한해석모델을 이용하여 콘크리트 보의 인장재로 철근이 아닌 CFRP그리드를 적용하기 위한 매개변수해석이 수행되었으며, 콘크리트 압축강도, FRP그리드의 겹 수, FRP그리드의 유효깊이는 CFRP그리드로 보강된 콘크리트 부재의 휨성능에 중요한 인자임을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 통한 모듈러 구조물 접합부의 힌지접합부 연구에 관하여 소개한다. 모듈러 구조물은 모듈과 모듈을 적층하는 방식으로 공사를 진행하여 단위 모듈간의 기둥 및 보의 일체성을 기대하기 어려운 특성을 가지고 있다. 그러나 현 모듈러 설 계 시 이러한 구조적 특성을 무시하고 횡력에 대한 모멘트전달을 고려하여 기존 강구조와 동일한 방식으로 해석하고 있다. 더구나 모 멘트접합을 체결하기위해 모듈러 외부뿐만 아니라 내부에서 볼트 체결이 이루어져 조립 후 마감을 추가하는 불합리한 상황도 발생한 다. 이러한 일체성을 기대하기 어려운 특성을 고려하기 위하여 힌지접합을 활용한 모듈러구조시스템을 제안하였다. 논문에서는 기존 의 모멘트접합부에서 힌지접합부로 변경하였을 때 하중의 전달을 확인하기 위하여 이전 다른 연구에서 활용되었던 가위 모델을 변형 한 변형 가위 모델을 고안하여 접합부의 기본 이론을 제안·검토하였고, 기본을 바탕으로 계산된 결과는 구조해석 프로그램인 마이다 스 젠과 비교하여 검증하였다. 추가적으로 기존 모멘트접합부로 설계되었던 모듈러구조물을 힌지접합부로 변경하여 부재내력 및 사 용성을 검토하였다.

This paper presents the effect on the inelastic behavior and structural performance of concrete and filled steel pipe through a numerical method for reliable judgment under various load conditions of the CJS composite structural system. Variable values optimized for the CJS synthetic structural system and the effects of multiple variables used for finite element analysis to present analytical modeling were compared and analyzed with experimental results. The Winfrith concrete model was used as a concrete material model that describes the confinement effect well, and the concrete structure was modeled with solid elements. Through geometric analysis of shell and solid elements, rectangular steel pipe columns and steel elements were modeled as shell elements. In addition, the slip behavior of the joint between the concrete column and the rectangular steel pipe was described using the Surface-to-Surface function. After finite element analysis modeling, simulation was performed for cyclic loading after assuming that the lower part of the foundation was a pin in the same way as in the experiment. The analysis model was verified by comparing the calculated analysis results with the experimental results, focusing on initial stiffness, maximum strength, and energy dissipation capability.

This study proposed a simplified finite element analysis procedure for designing the nonstructural masonry wall in the out-of-plane direction. The proposed method is a two-step elastic analysis procedure by bilinearizing the behavior of the masonry wall. The first step analysis was conducted with initial stiffness representing the behavior up to the effective-yield point, and the second step analysis was conducted with post-yield stiffness. In addition, the orthotropic material property of the masonry was considered in the FE analysis. The maximum load was estimated as the sum of the maximum loads in the first and second step analyses. The maximum load was converted into the moment coefficients and compared with those from the yield line method applied in Eurocode 6. The moment coefficients calculated through the proposed procedure showed a good match with those from the yield line method with less than 6% differences.

Gas springs applied to various industrial fields are generally composed of a cylinder, a piston rod, a cover, and a seal mount. Because of the thin wall of the cylinder, small gas springs are manufactured using a roller forming process that presses the cylinder wall into a groove of cover in the cylinder. In this study, finite element analysis and process design of roller forming are performed to systematically manufacture the small gas spring and develop a roller forming machine. In order to perform roller forming analysis, tensile tests of structural steel pipe are performed and mechanical properties are analyzed. Roller forming process parameters such as radius and depth of roller grooves are derived using the incompressible condition of plastic deformation theory and the results of finite element roller forming analysis. Using the derived roller shape, a roller forming machine is developed and prototypes of the small gas spring are manufactured. Finally, the dimensional accuracy of the manufactured gas spring prototypes is analyzed through three-dimensional shape measurement.

Due to environmental pollution, regulations on existing petroleum-based fuels are increasing day by day. LNG is in the spotlight as an eco-friendly fuel that does not emit NOx or SOx, but its boiling point is -163°C, so it needs to be handled with care. Materials that can be used at the above temperature are defined by IMO through the IGC Code. Among them, 9% nickel steel has great advantages in yield strength and tensile strength under cryogenic conditions, but it is difficult to use in arc welding such as FCAW for various reasons. This study is a study to apply fiber laser welding to solve this problem. As a previous study, this study conducted a study to find a welding heat source. After performing bead on plate welding, the optimal heat source was derived by analyzing the shape of the bead and adjusting the parameters of the heat source model. In this case, by applying the multi-island genetic algorithm, which is a global optimization algorithm, not the intuition of the researcher, accurate results could be derived in a wide range.

ROPS is a structure installed to protect drivers from tractor rollover accidents and is being tested for certification under the OECD code. Because this test requires a lot of cost and time to develop the ROPS and to produce test model, the OECD is discussing the introduction of virtual test using finite element analysis. In this study, the results were compared by conducting a strength test and finite element analysis applied with the OECD code to use it as a basic data for standardization of ROPS virtual test methods. It was confirmed that the results of the analysis of the bolts and plates of the coupling part and the folding part were more close to the physical test results than the rigid elements and constraints at the point of coupling the tractor and ROPS.

In this paper, nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted based on the experimental results on buckling restrained brace. The reliability of the analytical model was verified by comparing the results of experimental studies with hysteresis loop, bi-linear curve, cumulative energy dissipation capacity, and equivalent viscous damping. A valid finite element model has been secured and will be used as basic data for finite element analysis of buckling restrained braces in the future.

This study develops finite element models for seismically-deficient reinforced concrete building frame retrofitted using fiber-reinforced polymer jacketing system and validates the finite element models with full-scale dynamic test for as-built and retrofitted conditions. The bond-slip effects measured from a past experimental study were modeled using one-dimensional slide line model, and the bond-slip models were implemented to the finite element models. The finite element model can predict story displacement and inter-story drift ratio with slight simulation variation compared to the measured responses from the full-scale dynamic tests.

In this study, the seismic safety of nuclear power plant structures is evaluated and verified by performing a vibration test on a relatively simple shear wall structure. The shear walls are the prominent members of nuclear power plants and resist the seismic load. The shear wall structure is designed and manufactured to perform shaking table tests and is used to increase the accuracy of the analytical method by comparing them with the numerical analysis results. Different results will be checked and more efficient application methods will be studied depending on the method of designing reinforced concrete structures.
