A domain/boundary decomposition technique is applied to carry out efficient finite element analyses of 3-D contact problems. Appropriate penalty functions are selected for connecting an interface and contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity constraints. As a consequence, all the effective stiffness matrices have positive definiteness, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. If necessary, any complex-shaped 3-D domain can be divided into several simple-shaped subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. With a set of numerical examples, the basic characteristics of computational efficiency are investigated carefully.

This paper compares various potential based panel methods for the analysis of two-dimensional hydrofoil. The strength of singularity on each panel is assumed to be constant or linear. Robin boundary condition as well as Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions are applied to various formulations to evaluate the accuracies of the methods. Pressures and lifts are computed for various two-dimensional hydrofoil geometries and are compared with the analytic solutions. Extensive studies are performed on the local errors near the trailing edge, known to be sensitive to the foil geometry with sharp trailing edge and high camber. Robin boundary condition with the perturbation velocity potential formulation shows the best accuracy and convergence rate.

This paper is concerned with developing a finite element model incorporating boundary damper techniques which is applicable to the prediction of wave agitations in harbors. Based on the linear wave theory, a mild-slope equation is used. In order to consider the wave energy dissipations on solid boundary. the partial reflecting boundary condition is introduced. Radiating boundary condition is modeled by using tile second-order boundary damper developed by Bando et al. (1984). The near field region in harbor is discretized using 8-noded isoparametric elements, the boundary conditions are presented using 3-noded line elements. The numerical model is applied to a fully open rectangular harbor to prove its validity. Numerical experiments are also performed to investigate the effects of the wave reflection coefficients of solid boundary and the types of the dampers.

In this paper, we present an analytical method for decision boundary feature extraction for neural networks. It has been shown that all the features necessary to achieve the same classification accuracy xxxas in the original space can be obtained from the vectors normal to decision boundaries. However, the vector normal to the decision boundary of a neural network has been calculated numerically using a gradient approximation. This process is time-consuming and the normal vector may be inaccurately estimated. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance of the previous decision boundary feature extraction for neural networks by accurately calculating the normal vector When the normal vectors are computed analytically, it is possible to reduce the processing time significantly and improve the performance of the previous implementation that employs numerical approximation.

This paper presents an efficient contact detection algorithm for the plane elastostatic contact problem of the boundary element method(BEM). The data structures of the boundary element method are dissected to develop an efficient contact detection algorithm. This algorithm is consists of three parts as global searching, local searching and contact relation setting to reflect the corner node problem. Contact master and slave type elements are used in global searching step and quad-tree is selected as the spatial decomposition method in local searching step. To set up contact relation equations, global contact searching is conducted at node level and local searching is performed at element level. To verify the efficiency of the proposed contact detection algorithm of BEM, numerical example is presented.

More than effectively judging the existence of reinforcing bars under multi boundary layers and void shapes in concrete, this study aims to develop the analysis algorithm of radar response on multi boundary layers in reinforced concrete and radar capable of estimation of the shape of specific voids in plain concrete. To detect or estimate reinforcing bars and void shapes in these conditions, the simulation analysis model of transmission and reflection wave of electromagnetic radar is used. This radar simulation model is carried out with reinforced or non reinforced concrete of various boundary conditions and void shapes. And, the output signals (images) of radar simulation results are calculated and represented by convolution method. As the results, it is clarified that this simulation analysis technique can be used to analyze radar response on multi boundary layers in reinforced concrete and void shapes in concrete.

불연속면을 따라 점토 등의 충전물이 포함된 경우에는 불연속면의 방향이 유리하게 작용하 더라도 사면안정에 불안정성을 초래한다. 연구지역의 사면활동은 점토충전물과 풍화토의 경계를 따라서 발생하였다.이것은 물성의 차이를 보이는 경계부분이 존재했기 때문이며,암석에서 엽리 등이 구조적 운동에서 약대로 작용하여 층간의 슬립을 유도하는 현상과 매우 유사하다. 대부분의 해석에서 점토충전물이 존재할 경우에는 하나의 불연속면으로 설정하여 해석한다. 이때의 불연속면은 점토층 내에서의 활동면으로 해석되므로 점토와 원지반과의 경계부에서의 해석 값과는 상당한 차이를 보이게 되고 점토의 물리적 성질에 많이 지배된다. 점토충전물로 인한 활동사면의 안정성 평가 결과는 충전물에 의한 불연속면의 파괴유형에 따른 강도정수에 의해 안전율에 상당한 차이를 보인다.

The expansion of 1D numerical code to 2D or 3D is needed in order to improve the analysis accuracy of the interior ballistics. The cut cell method has been imposed for the code expansion to multi dimensions. The MUSCL-Hancock scheme as a high resolution method has been selected. A feasibility of the cut cell method has been verified by analyzing the free piston problem.

국부진동에 의하여 영향을 받는 일부 부재를 분석하기 위하여 구조물 전체의 대하여 동적해석을 수행하는 것은 비경제적일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국부진동의 효율적인 해석을 위하여 부분구조법을 사용하였다. 선택된 부재의 해석에 사용할 경계조건을 구하기 위하여 자유도를 응축하는 행렬응축기법을 사용하였다. 해석의 정당성을 검토하기 위하여 경계조건을 고정지지와 단순지지한 경우와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 부분구조기법을 이용하면 가진층에 대해서는 효율적으로 매우 정확한 거동을 예측할 수 있지만, 가진층에서 멀리 떨어진 곳에 대한 거동 예측 시에는 다소 오차가 발생한다.

최근의 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인하여 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 극한 사상의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 가뭄은 장기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발시키는 대표적인 자연재해 중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 크기와 정도를 정량화 할 수 있는 가뭄빈도해석을 수행하였다. 가뭄빈도해석을 위하여 우리나라의 61개 지점을 대상으로 EDI 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 일별로 산정된 EDI 지수를 이용하여 연도별로 최저값을 추출하였다. 추출된 EDI 자료를 이용하여 빈도해석을 수행하였다. 빈도해석은 복합 확률 분포형 등의 장점을 갖고 있는 경계핵밀도함수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 분석 결과에서 재현기간 5년 내지 10년에서 극단적으로 건조함을 나타내는 가뭄지수인 -2.0 이하의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 가뭄은 평균적으로 재현기간 5년에서 10년 사이에 반복적으로 발생할 수 있다. 그러므로 가뭄에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 시스템의 구축과 가뭄피해를 최소화 할 수 있도록 해야 한다.
