In this study, the structural analysis and welding performance experiments were performed to reduce the weight of the semi-automatic TIG welding device. The structural analysis based on finite element method was performed on the lightweight design of the wire feeder's main frame to evaluate the structural safety and straightness of the lightweight frame. To reduce the weight of the welding wire feeder, the step motor was changed to a servo motor and a pinion gear made of lightweight reinforced plastic material was applied. In addition, a new type of welding torch was developed to reduce the weight of the welding torch and to supply more effective fillers. As a result of performing the TIG welding experiment using a prototype of TIG welding device consisting of a lightweight frame, feeding device and welding torch, it was confirmed that the working criteria were satisfied in terms of welding speed, welding bead shape, feeding uniformity and torch durability. The developed lightweight TIG welding device is expected to improve welding productivity and work convenience.

In this study, the deformation, equivalent stress and strain energy were analyzed on the electric kick board emerging as a new means of transportation at the accident of a front collision according to each shape were analyzed. The largest part deformation happened at the handle, and the board part where the person’s feet was placed was seen to become weak. The equivalent stress was most visible at the board section, unlike the deformation results. In particular, the deformation and stress of model A which has a long and thin neck, have occurred greatly. Therefore, the longer the neck, the greater the deformation and stress occur. Among all models, the deformation and stress were the smallest at model C. As model A has a particularly thinner neck and board connection part, a large strain energy appeared. Therefore, it is considered that the connection needs to be reinforced thickly and firmly. On the study result, the thicker the board part of the electric kick board and the lower the body of the vehicle, the safer it is. The results of this study can be effectively applied to investigate the values of stresses and deformations, and strain energies through structural analysis without the fracture test at the front collision according to the shape of electric kick board.

In this study, the structural and fatigue analyses were carried out according to the shape of the self-made car frame. As a result of structural analysis, all models are shown to have the weak strength and large deformation, as the equivalent stress increases at the forward part of the impact force. It can be seen that model 3 is deformed less than other models 1 or 2. And model 3 with the truss structure prevents the great deformation from the collision. In case of irregular fatigue loads, the fatigue life of the ‘Sample history’ increased by about 59.3 times compared to the ‘SAE bracket history’ under extreme fatigue load conditions, indicating that the fatigue load condition of the ‘Sample history’ were stable. The fatigue life and deformation of model 3 among all models are significantly different to models 1 and 2. If the research results are applied to the design of self-made cars, it will be useful for improving the durability and preventing the damage. The results of this study can be effectively utilized to investigate the values of stresses and deformations, and fatigue lives without the experiments of fracture and fatigue according to the shape of the car frame.

In this study, numerical analysis was carried out to develop low-noise axial fans, which are often used for ventilation in houses. A commercial program and the turbulence models are used for the analysis of internal fan. Proudman acoustic power model and the Curle surface acoustic power model were used for analysis. As a result, the distribution of flow velocity and pressure around the blade and guide of the fan was high, and low in the center of the fan. Noise from the inner wall of the fan case and the blade surface was the highest at the body and vane connections of the blade, and low at the center of the vane and the center of the body.

우리나라는 지진에 대해 비교적 안전한 지역으로 인식되고 있었으나, 최근 경주지진과 포항지진이 발생하면서 시설물에 상당한 피해가 발생되면서 지진피해 저감장치를 적용한 내진설계 및 보강에 대한 연구와 개발이 수행되고 있다. 이미 건축된 구조물의 유지⋅보수에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라, 구조물의 감쇠, 강성 등을 국부적으로 변화시켜 지진 하중에 의한 에너지를 흡수하고 소산시키는 내진설계 방식인 제진기술이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 강한 지진이 발생할 때 제진 장치의 손상으로 인하여 사용성이 매우 떨어지게 되는 문제점이 발생되고 있다. 최근에는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 구조물의 가새 부재에 별도의 열처리를 하지 않고 응력 제거만으로 원형복원이 가능한 초탄성 형상기억합금을 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비좌굴 가새 부재에 초탄성 형상기억합금을 사용하여 자동복원이 가능한 프레임 구조물을 구성하여 비선형 정적해석을 수행하여 구조물의 내진성능을 평가하고, 초탄성 형상기억합금의 재료적 특성의 우수성을 검증하고자 한다.

In this study, the flat glass and adsorption pad were modeled using SolidWorks Simulation, to understand the deformation characteristics of the vertical flat glass by the adsorption pressure during vertical transport of LCD. The horizontal and vertical displacements and equivalent stresses of the flat glass were investigated by the structural analysis. From the displacement and stress visualization according to the adsorption pressure, the higher the adsorption pressure, the larger the glass surface protruded. The horizontal deformation of flat glass increased with increasing thickness and the vertical deformation increased with decreasing thickness. In addition, the maximum equivalent stress applied to the flat glass increased significantly as the adsorption pressure increased and the thickness decreased. As a result of the structural analysis, the thinner the thickness of the plate glass, the greater the effect on the adsorption pressure. Especially, the effect of the adsorption pressure was clearly observed at the thickness of 0.5mm.

본 연구의 목적은 원자로 1400(APR 1400) 원자력 발전소(NPP)의 원자로 격납건물(RCB) 내진성능에 대해 상이한 수치모델과 지진 주파수 성분의 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 집중 질량 막대 모델(lumped-mass stick model, LMSM)과 3차원 유한요소모델(threedimensional finite element model, 3D FEM)의 두 가지 수치 모델이 시간이력해석을 수행하기 위해 개발되었다. LMSM은 기존의 집중 질량 보-요소를 사용하여 SAP2000으로 구성하였으며, 3D FEM은 각기둥 입체-요소를 사용하여 ANSYS로 작성되었다. 저주파수 및 고주파수 성분을 고려한 두 그룹의 지진파를 시간이력해석에 적용하였다. 저주파수 지진파의 응답스펙트럼을 NRC 1.60의 설계 스펙트럼과 일치되도록 조정하여 작성하였으며, 고주파수 지진파는 10Hz ~ 100Hz의 고주파수 범위를 갖도록 생성하였다. RCB의 지진응 답은 다양한 높이에서 층응답스펙트럼으로 검토하였다. 수치해석 결과, 저주파수 지진에 의한 구조물의 FRS 결과는 두 수치 모델에 서 매우 유사한 결과를 보였다. 하지만, 고주파수 지진에 의한 LMSM의 FRS 결과는 고차 고유 주파수 영역에서 3D FEM과 큰 차이를 보였으며, RCB의 낮은 높이에서 명확한 차이를 보였다. 3D FEM이 정확한 구조물의 응답을 나타내는 것으로 가정한다면, RCB의 LMSM은 고주파수 지진에 의한 FRS 결과의 고차 고유 주파수 영역에서 일정 수준의 불일치성을 내포하고 있다.

In this study, the structural stability of an align unit was studied to investigate the deformation and vibration characteristics of the upper and lower modules of the align unit during LCD panel transfer. The align unit consists of upper module and lower module. SolidWorks Simulation was used to analyze the structure, fatigue, and modes, to understand the deformation and vibration of the stiffness of the align unit. Because of the upper eccentric structure of the align unit, the main strain was large at the contact of the upper and lower modules and at the bottom of the support, and more pronounced at it’s front. The stress was large in the front support of the upper and lower modules, and the displacement was observed in the front of the upper module. The minimum life cycle that indicates the structural integrity of the align unit has exceeded its usable number. Also, the increase in natural frequency of the align unit gradually slowed down, as the vibration mode increased.

The pipe for water supply is essential part among SOC (Social Overhead Capital) fields. Pipe for water supply is mainly damaged by deterioration of pipe, earthquake, ground sinking and so on. The leakage of water have been led to enormous economical loss in our country. The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural stability of flexible joint for relaxing impact due to earthquake and ground sinking. For this purpose, flexible joint was simulated using tensile load and internal pressure. As the results, flexible joint for structural stability was needed the tensile load of below 3 ton and internal pressure of below 60 kgf/cm2. However, it is considered that real flexible joint should be applied more high safety factor than that of simulation result because of combined stress.

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 performance of ground-based optical structures is highly sensitive to external environments, such as airflow in open space. In this paper, initial aerodynamic data due to ambient air flow were analyzed in optical models designed through knowledge-based design algorithm, and dynamic data acting on optical structures in turbulent flow with velocity of 50m/s were analyzed to present the initial shape design conditions of the structures. The simulation results showed that the maximum pressure, minimum pressure, and maximum differential pressure acting on the mirror are directly proportional to the sweep angle.

Modularization is an important benefit to overall project cost, such as construction period, manpower and logistics. In order to establish a successful modularization strategy, the optimum cost can be realized based on the Envelope Size which is allowed to be transferred to the plant site through analysis of each shape of the module. Through the analysis of the plant structure, the Envelope Size that can be transported on site in units of sizes suitable for maritime and onshore is provided, and finite element method is applied to the existing materials (A36, A572) and domestic materials (SS400, SM490, SWH400) and analyzed the results of the analysis to obtain domestic materials applicable to the plant structure frame.

다중적층구조는 상대적으로 두꺼운 주 적층구조(ply)와 얇은 층간구조(interlayer)를 반복하여 붙여서 만들어진다. 적층구조의 동적 파괴 페리다이나믹 해석을 효율적으로 수행하기 위해 주 적층구조만 실제 페리다이나믹 절점으로 모델링하고 층간구조는 가상의 절점으로 간략히 모델링하는 비국부 가상 층간구조 모델링 기법을 도입한다. 이를 통해 얇은 층간구조의 수치적 이산화 정도는 무시하고 상대적으로 두꺼운 주 적층구조를 해석하기에 적절한 수준의 수치적 이산화만으로 효율적인 페리다이나믹 모델링 및 해석을 수행할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가상 층간 구조 페리다이나믹 해석의 파동 전파 특성을 분석한다. 층간 구조는 인접한 적층판들을 접합하는 역할뿐만 아니라 적층판 사이의 에너지 전달 특성에도 영향을 주기 때문에 적층구조물의 변형 및 운동에도 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 경계 근처에서 페리다이나믹 절점은 불완전한 형태의 비국부 영역을 구성하는데, 이를 통해 완전한 비국부 영역을 구성하는 내부 절점과 경계 근처의 절점에서 재료 물성치 효과가 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 표면 효과를 보정하기 위해 비국부 체적 기반의 보정법을 도입하고, 표면 효과 보정이 다중적층 구조물의 파동 전파에 미치는 영향을 조사한다.

2017년 발생한 포항 지진으로 인하여 천장재, 외장재, 커튼월 등 비구조재의 파괴에 의한 피해가 다수 보고되었으며 비구조재의 내진설계가 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 임팩트해머 테스트를 통해 행어볼트 길이에 따른 천장재의 고유진동수와 감쇠비를 식별하였다. 또한 천장재가 벽 또는 다른 구조체에 충돌하는 경우 발생하는 충격효과를 정확히 고려하기 위해 충돌실험을 수행하였다. 식별된 천장재의 동특성과 충격지속시간을 바탕으로 실제로 천장재가 지진하중으로 인하여 주변 구조물과 충돌이 발생하는 경우에 대한 천장재 응답특성을 수치해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 수치해석 시뮬레이션 결과, 충격하중은 이격거리에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 달대길이와는 무관한 것으로 나타났다.
