Abstract

A simple outline for teaching adaptive scheme based finite element method for planar problems as a part of computer aided teaching of structural engineering curriculum is presented. Displacement based finite element formulation for planar problems and representative strain value based adaptive scheme for mesh generation are considered. As examples, a cantilever beam with a concentrated load treated as a planar problem and stretching of a plate with a circular hole are analyzed with displacement based finite element method with adaptive meshes. The examples and outlines show how adaptive based finite element method may become an essential part of computer aided teaching of structural engineering.

본 연구는 적응적 요소망을 사용한 유한요소법으로 해석된 2차원 문제를 전산을 활용한 구조공학 교육의 중요한 부분으로 활용하는 대요를 제시한다. 적응적 요소망 형성방법에서는 비교적 간단한 요소의 대표 변형률 값을 사용하였고 유한요소법으로는 광범위하게 활용되고 있는 변위법을 사용하였다. 적용한 예제는 기본 역학의 대표적인 문제인 집중 하중을 받는 캔틸레버보와 중앙에 원형 구멍을 갖은 평판 인장 문제이다. 교육 대요와 예제는 적응적 요소망을 사용한 유한요소법이 전산을 활용한 구조공학 교육에 중요한 부분이 될 수 있는 것을 보여준다.
