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.

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.

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.

In this study, proposed how to design an airport concrete pavement expansion joint considering the weather conditions and material properties. Currently, expansion joint spacing of airport concrete pavement in korea is not designed according to a clear standard, but it is designed to an empirical level. Various types of Admixture are used in concrete pavement and depending on the material characteristics or local environmental factors, there is a substantial difference in the extent and shrinkage to which the package is inflated. Significant differences are made in the extent to which the pavement expands or shrinkage depending on the material characteristics used or the local environmental factors. But, expansion joint design performed on empirical criteria cannot reflect these materials and environmental characteristics, resulting in unpredictable damage such as blow-up. To analyzing behavior of airport concrete pavement, horizontal displacement gauges, static strain gauges and thermometers are installed in the 3rd phase construction sites at Incheon International Airport. In this study, the relationship between the temperature and horizontal displacement of the concrete pavement was analyzed using the measured depth temperatures and the horizontal displacement data at the expansion joints at the Incheon airport site. The Finite Element Analysis Model of Incheon International Airport pavement was used to compare the difference between actual behavior and analytical behavior. In addition, it is proposed to design a suitable expansion joint spacing by considering the maximum expansion of concrete pavement and shrinkage caused by material expansion (e.g., ASR) and shrinkage due to water loss. This study was supported by Incheon International Airport Corporation (BEX00625).

Construction of irregular-shaped concrete structures requires a lot of time and money. To reduce the cost and time, the F3D(Free-Form Formwork 3D Printer) technology was adopted in manufacturing EPS(Expanded Polystyrene) formwork for irregular-shaped concrete structure. To design EPS formwork precisely, lateral pressure acting on irregular-shaped formwork and deformation of EPS form liner should be evaluated. However, in current Korean formwork standard, there are no standards for irregular-shaped formwork as it includes a lot of complex variables. For this reason, several researchers developed 3-dimensional finite element analysis model to calculate lateral pressure exerted by fresh concrete. In this study, deformation of irregular-shaped EPS formwork and lateral pressure acting on formwork was examined using finite element analysis model.

The computing environment has changed rapidly to enable large-scale finite element models to be analyzed at the PC or workstation level, such as multi-core CPU, optimal math kernel library implementing BLAS and LAPACK, and popularization of direct sparse solvers. In this paper, the design considerations on a parallel finite element code for shared memory based multi-core CPU system are proposed; (1) the use of optimized numerical libraries, (2) the use of latest direct sparse solvers, (3) parallelism using OpenMP for computing element stiffness matrices, and (4) assembly techniques using triplets, which is a type of sparse matrix storage. In addition, the parallelization effect is examined on the time-consuming works through a large scale finite element model.

PURPOSES : This paper numerically evaluates the contribution of transverse steel to the structural behavior of continuously reinforced concrete pavements to understand the role of transverse steel. METHODS: Two-lane continuously reinforced concrete pavements with and without transverse steel were analyzed through finite element analysis with the aid of commercial finite element analysis program DIANA; the difference in their structural behavior such as deflection, joint opening, and stress distribution was then evaluated. Twenty-node brick elements and three-node beam elements were used to model concrete and steel, respectively. Sub-layers were modeled with horizontal and vertical tensionless spring elements. The interactions between steel and surrounding concrete were considered by connecting their nodes with three orthogonal spring elements. Both wheel loading and environmental loading in addition to self-weight were considered. RESULTS : The use of transverse steel in continuously reinforced concrete pavements does not have significant effects on the structural behavior. The surface deflections change very little with the use of transverse steel. The joint opening decreases when transverse steel is used but the reduction is quite small. The transverse concrete stress, rather, increases when transverse steel is used due to the restraint exerted by the steel but the increase is quite small as well. CONCLUSIONS : The main role of transverse steel in continuously reinforced concrete pavements is supporting longitudinal steel and/or controlling unexpected longitudinal cracks rather than enhancing the structural capacity.

Simple 3, 10, and 30-story buildings with a nonstructural element which is located at roof or near the middle of the building height are selected. Based on 2009 Korean Building Code, the seismic design force applied at the nonstructural element is evaluated. Response spectrum analysis is conducted with the design response acceleration spectrum of 2009 Korean Building Code and the analytical response is compared with the seismic design force from the Code. Furthermore, an artificial earthquake based on Korean design response acceleration spectrum and the 50% intensity of El Centro earthquake, which can be considered as the maximum future earthquake possibly occurring in Korea, are selected to conduct time history analysis. When the period of the nonstructural element is shorter than 0.06 second or longer than that of the 1st period of each building, the Code equations of seismic design force for nonstructural element seems to be appropriate. However, the period of the nonstructural element is close to the one of the building's higher mode periods including the 1st period, seismic force of the nonstructural element might exceed the Code specified seismic design force.

In order to improve osseointegration of dental implants with bone we studied an implant with holes inside its body to deliver bioactive materials based on a proposed patent. Bioactive materials can be selectively applied through holes to a patient according to diagnosis and the integration progress. After the bioactive material is applied, bone can grow into the holes to increase implant bonding and also enhance surface integration. In order to improve the concept and study the effect of bioactive material injection on implant integration, design optimization and integration research were undertaken utilizing the finite element method. A 2-dimensional simulation study showed that when bone grew into the holes after the bioactive material was injected, stress vertically distributed in the upper part of the implant was relieved and mild stress appeared at the opening of the injection holes. This confirmed the effect of the bioactive material and the contribution of the injection holes, but the maximum stress increased ten-fold at the opening. In order to reduce the maximum stress, the size, location, and the number of holes were varied and the effects were studied. When bioactive materials formed an interface layer between the implant and the mandible and four holes were filled with cortical and cancellous bones all the stress concentrated opposite to the loading side without holes disappeared. The stresses at the four outlets of the holes was mildly elevated but the maximum stress value was ten-fold greater compared to the case without the bioactive material.

현재 기술발전에 따라 급변하는 제품의 패러다임은 다양화 되어가는 사용자의 감성적 니즈의 변화와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 이것은 사용자들이 제품의 규격화된 형태와 편리성을 강조하기보다는 감성적 가치 부여를 지향하고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 감성적 가치는 사용자의 제품에 대한 니즈로 연결되고, 궁극적으로는 제품의 구체적인 속성에 의해 충족될 수 있다. 창의성은 디자인 분야뿐만 아니라 미래사회에서 가장 중요한 경쟁력을 갖게 하는 요소로 대두되고 있다. 그리고 디자이너는 주어진 것에 순응하는 사람이 아니라 끊임없이 새로운 지식과 가치를 창조해 나가는 지식 노동자이며, 경쟁력에서 이길 수 있는 가장 부가가치 있는 부분이 창의성이라 할 수 있다. 결국 창의적 디자인은 사용자에게 심리적 감흥을 불러일으켜 기존 제품들과는 차별화된 새로운 디자인 해결안으로서 그 가치를 인정받는 것이다. 본 연구는 창의적 디자인에 있어 사용자의 의식 또는 무의식의 니즈에 대하여 디자인 구성요소와 심미성 요소를 파악하여 차별화된 창의적 디자인의 제품 개발에 있어 구체적인 디자인 요소를 설정하고 심미성 요소를 통한 디자인 컨셉 도출 과정에 활용될 수 있는 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다.
