This study performs finite Element stress analysis of flange connections at noise barriers with circular steel tubes, which have a light weight. Subsequent numerical simulation results for three types of models (standard, double, and standard models strengthen by ribs) present that the applied connections for target noise barriers constructed show suitable structural performance. In this paper, the existing finite element stress analysis using the ABAQUS program is further extended to study the local stress distribution of the noise barriers with new type circular steel tubes. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different types with stresses occurred in the noise barrier from the numerical simulation.

In recent years, the number of earthquakes has increased worldwide. There has been an extreme increase on the Korea Peninsula, which is considered a safety zone for earthquakes. In particular, in the event of earthquakes, most structures on the Korea Peninsula are severely damaged, because most are not designed to withstand them. Damage to and destruction of civil structures, such as bridges, nuclear facilities, and dams, is worse than that of other structures. It is necessary to evaluate and predict the extent of damage by earthquake magnitude, as the magnitude of earthquakes is increasing as well as the frequency. A major feature of the occurrence of earthquakes is uncertainty. For this reason, it is necessary to adopt a stochastic approach, and studies using this approach are increasing. However, although there have been several studies on bridges and nuclear facilities, there have been few studies on probabilistic seismic risk evaluation for multi-functional weirs. Thus, this study presents 3D multi-functional weirs and performs a time history analysis by using LS-DYNA, a general structure analysis program. Probabilistic seismic fragility assessment is conducted by Monte Carlo simulation.

As demands for freeform structure were gradually increased, researches about various shapes of claddings have been conducted. Particularly, claddings made from concrete easily made complex shapes. Because of this advantage, many researches about manufacturing methods and light weight of concrete mainly have been conducted. For example ALC (Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete) was the most popular claddings that had a great strength without aggregate and were cured at high temperature and pressure conditions. This paper showed multi-layer reinforcement system, exactly 5 layers polymer reinforcement method, that consisted of 3D printing material with low weight and high performance mechanical properties. Finite element analysis were performed to predict the maximum deformations loaded by wind and self-weight. Joints of analysis model were simplified as the pin joint. The variable of this analysis was the material arrangement of 3 layers located at center among exterior layer. Finally, the maximum deformations of analysis results were compared with the limitations of claddings.

At modern mechanical and automotive industry, the material with light weight proceeds in order to thr environmental issue and high performance. Machine part is fastened with numbers of bolts and nuts. Generally, the metal part at mechanical structure is fastened with bolt and nut through puncturing. But it is difficult to puncture at CFRP with the property of fiber structure like the general metal. In this study, the fracture behavior is investigated by the hole and crack at the plate of the unidirectional CFRP due to ply angle. The thickness of plate is 2 mm. Two laminates with the varied ply angles are layered and eight plies are made. The hole is placed at the center of plate and the cracks with the length of 2 mm are generated on both left and right sides from the hole. The finite element program of ANSYS is carried out in order to analyze the CFRP with fiber layer. As analysis, the maximum reaction force and equivalent stress are investigated due the angle of ply. The reaction force in case of the stacking angle of 90° is shown to be greatest among all specimens.

In this study, nonlinear finite element analysis based on the Modified Compression Field Theory has been conducted to evaluate shear strength of RC walls with opening. On the analysis, reinforcement ratio within development length of rebars nearby the opening was reduced in the model in order to investigate the effect of opening on shear strength of RC shear walls. The nonlinear finite element analysis has been verified through comparison with the test result in literature. Through the verification, it was investigated that the analysis considering the development length of rebars well reflected the effect of an opening on shear strength of RC shear walls while current design provisions did not reasonably consider one.

본 연구는 다목적 관리기의 동력전달 시스템이 가혹한 작동환경에서 겪는 응력상황에 대한 분석을 유한요소해석을 수행함으로써, 기계요소의 안전성을 평가하는 한편, 개선 방안을 도출하고자 진행되었다. 엔진으로부터 작업기에 이르는 과정에 존재하는 동력전달 시스템은 엔진의 출력이 과도하게 인가될 경우 매우 높은 수준의 응력을 나타낼 우려가 있으며 따라서 이와 같은 가혹한 조건을 고려하기 위하여 동력전달 시스템의 출력축이 정지된 상황을 가정하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 볼클러치(Ball-clutch)와 PTO 조인트(Power take-off joint)에 대하여 응력해석을 수행한 결과 허용접촉응력 이상의 높은응력이 국부적으로 발생한다는 사실을 확인하였고, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 접촉부의 형상을 변경하여 추가적인 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 접촉부의 모서리에 일정 반경의 모깎기를 적용하거나 기계요소의 형상을 변화시켜 접촉면의 위치를 바꿈으로서 과도한 응력집중을 방지할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 보다 우수한 내구성 및 신뢰성을 지닌 다목적 관리기를 개발할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

OBJECTIVES : The objective of this research is to determine the integrity of pavement structures for areas where voids exist. Furthermore, we conducted the study of voided-area analysis and remaining life prediction for pavement structures using finite element method. METHODS : To determine the remaining life of the existing voided areas under asphalt concrete pavements, field and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests were conducted. Comparison methods were used to have better accuracy in the finite element method (FEM) analysis compared to the measured surface displacements due to the loaded trucks. In addition, the modeled FEM used in this study was compared with well-known software programs. RESULTS : The results show that a good agreement on the analyzed and measured displacements can be obtained through comparisons of the surface displacement due to loaded trucks. Furthermore, the modeled FEM program was compared with the available pavement-structure software programs, resulting in the same values of tensile strains in terms of the thickness of asphalt concrete layers. CONCLUSIONS: The study, which is related to voided-area analysis and remaining life prediction using FEM for pavement structures, was successfully conducted based on the comparison between our methods and the sinkhole grade used in Japan.

This study mainly evaluate the aseismic performance of the existing intake tower structure, which is one of the national important infra structures, on the basis of the refined finite element (FE) analysis results. The realistic evaluation for structural damage was conducted by using the nonlinear material model that takes tension and compression strength of deteriorate concrete into consideration during FE modeling. In addition, not only tension crack but also compression crushing was analyzed by utilizing field contour functions provided in the program during nonlinear dynamic analyses when peak ground acceleration (PGA) occurred. After observing FE analysis results, it can be shown that the damage of the intake tower is the most likely to occur at the water level and the base support.

PURPOSES : Nowadays, cavity phenomena occur increasingly in pavement layers of downtown areas. This leads to an increment in the number of potholes, sinkholes, and other failure on the road. A loss of earth and sand from the pavement plays a key role in the occurrence of cavities, and, hence, a structural-performance evaluation of the pavement is essential. METHODS: The structural performance was evaluated via finite-element analysis using KPRP and KICTPAVE. KPRP was developed in order to formulate a Korean pavement design guide, which is based on a mechanical-empirical pavement design guide (M-EPDG). RESULTS: Installation of the anti-freezing layer yielded a fatigue crack, permanent deformation, and international roughness index (IRI) of 13%, 0.7 cm, and 3.0 m/km, respectively, as determined from the performance analysis conducted via KPRP. These values satisfy the design standards (fatigue crack: 20%, permanent deformation: 1.3 cm, IRI: 3.5 m/km). The results of FEM, using KICTPAVE, are shown in Figures 8~12 and Tables 3~5. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the performance analysis (conducted via KPRP) satisfy the design standards, even if the thickness of the anti-freezing layer is not considered. The corresponding values (i.e., 13%, 0.7 cm, and 3.0 m/km) are obtained for all conditions under which this layer is applied. Furthermore, the stress and strain on the interlayer between the sub-grade and the anti-freezing layer decrease gradually with increasing thickness of the anti-freezing layer. In contrast, the strain on the interlayer between the sub-base and the anti-freezing layer increases gradually with this increase in thickness.

PURPOSES: The national highways and expressways in Korea constitute a total length of 17,951 km. Of this total length of pavement, the asphalt pavement has significantly deteriorated, having been in service for over 10 years. Currently, hot in-place recycling (HIR) is used as the rehabilitation method for the distressed asphalt pavement. The deteriorated pavement becomes over-heated, however, owing to uncontrolled heating capacity during the pre-heating process of HIR in the field. METHODS: In order to determine the appropriate heating method and capacity of the pre-heater at the HIR process, the heating temperature of asphalt pavement is numerically simulated with the finite element software ABAQUS. Furthermore, the heating transfer effects are simulated in order to determine the inner temperature as a function of the heating system (IR and wire). This temperature is ascertained at 300 ℃, 400℃, 500℃, 600℃, 700°℃, and 800℃ from a slab asphalt specimen prepared in the laboratory. The inner temperature of this specimen is measured at the surface and five different depths (1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm) by using a data logger. RESULTS: The numerical simulation results of the asphalt pavement heating temperature indicate that this temperature is extremely sensitive to increases in the heating temperature. Moreover, after 10 min of heating, the pavement temperature is 36%~38% and 8%~10% of the target temperature at depths of 25 mm and 50 mm, respectively, from the surface. Therefore, in order to achieve the target temperature at a depth of 50 mm in the slab asphalt specimen, greater heating is required of the IR system compared to that of the gas. CONCLUSIONS : Numerical simulation, via the finite element method, can be readily used to analyze the appropriate heating method and theoretical basis of the HIR method. The IR system would provide the best heating method and capacity of HIR heating processes in the field.

Based on the ANSYS APDL, the effect of initial axial and lateral displacements, and internal temperature and pressure on the Von Mises stress distribution is also analyzed.

Powder compaction is a continually and rapidly evolving technology where it is a highly developed method ofmanufacturing reliable components. To understand existing mechanisms for compaction, parameter investigation isrequired. Experimental investigations on powder compaction process, followed by numerical modeling of compaction arepresented in this paper. The experimental work explores compression characteristics of soft and hard ductile powdermaterials. In order to account for deformation, fracture and movement of the particles, a discrete-finite element analysismodel is defined to reflect the experimental data and to enable investigations on mechanisms present at the particlelevel. Effects of important simulation factors and process parameters, such as particle count, time step, particle discret-ization, and particle size on the powder compaction procedure have been explored.

The finite element stress analysis of large sized rectangular water tank structures made of stainless steel materials is carried out for various combined load cases. The combined load cases for a large size of 5,000ton are further determined using the specification(KS B　6283) established from the Korean Standards Association. The changed water capacity due to the size of reservoirs could be heavily dependent for evaluating seismic effects, especially for large reservoirs. For the better numerical efficiency, the rectangular panels are modelled using the ANSYS ADPL module. The numerical results obtained for different load cases mainly show the effect of the interactions between the different load combination and other various parameters, for example, the water capacity, and different stainless steel materials. The structural performance for various load combinations is also evaluated.

PURPOSES : In this study, a fracture-based finite element (FE) model is proposed to evaluate the fracture behavior of fiber-reinforced asphalt (FRA) concrete under various interface conditions. METHODS: A fracture-based FE model was developed to simulate a double-edge notched tension (DENT) test. A cohesive zone model (CZM) and linear viscoelastic model were implemented to model the fracture behavior and viscous behavior of the FRA concrete, respectively. Three models were developed to characterize the behavior of interfacial bonding between the fiber reinforcement and surrounding materials. In the first model, the fracture property of the asphalt concrete was modified to study the effect of fiber reinforcement. In the second model, spring elements were used to simulated the fiber reinforcement. In the third method, bar and spring elements, based on a nonlinear bond-slip model, were used to simulate the fiber reinforcement and interfacial bonding conditions. The performance of the FRA in resisting crack development under various interfacial conditions was evaluated. RESULTS : The elastic modulus of the fibers was not sensitive to the behavior of the FRA in the DENT test before crack initiation. After crack development, the fracture resistance of the FRA was found to have enhanced considerably as the elastic modulus of the fibers increased from 450 MPa to 900 MPa. When the adhesion between the fibers and asphalt concrete was sufficiently high, the fiber reinforcement was effective. It means that the interfacial bonding conditions affect the fracture resistance of the FRA significantly. CONCLUSIONS: The bar/spring element models were more effective in representing the local behavior of the fibers and interfacial bonding than the fracture energy approach. The reinforcement effect is more significant after crack initiation, as the fibers can be pulled out sufficiently. Both the elastic modulus of the fiber reinforcement and the interfacial bonding were significant in controlling crack development in the FRA.
