A full three-dimensional thermo-coupled rigid-viscoplastic finite element method and the currently developed microstructural evolution system which includes semi-empirical equations suggested by different research groups were used together to form an integrated system of process and micro- structure simulation of hot rolling. The distribution and time histroy of the momechanical variables such as temperature, strain, strain rate, and time during pass and between passes were obtained from the finite element analysis of multipass hot rolling processes. The distribution of metallurgical variables were calculated on the basis of instantaneous thermomechanical data. For the verification of this method the evolution of microstructure in plate rolling and shape rolling was simulated and their results were compared with the data available in the literature. Consequently, this approach makes it possible to describe the realistic evolution of microstructure by avoiding the use of erroneous average value and can be used in CAE of multipass hot rolling.

The fracture process zone in concrete is a region ahead of a traction-free crack, in which two major mechanisms, microcracking and bridging, play important roles. The toughness due to bridging is dominant compared to toughness induced by microcracking, so that the bridging is dominani: mechanism governing the fracture process of concrete. Fracture mechanics does work for concrete provided that the fracture process zone is being considered, so that the development of model for the fracture process zone is most important to describe fracture phenomena in concrete. In this paper the bridging zone, which is a part of extended rnacrocrack with stresses transmitted by aggregates in concrete, is modelled by a Dugdale-Barenblatt type model with linear tension-softening curve. Two finite element techniques are shown for the analysis of progressive cracking in concrete based on the discrete crack approach: one with crack element, the other without crack element. The advantage of the technique with crack element is that it dees not need to update the mesh topology to follow the progressive cracking. Numerical results by the techniques are demonstrated.

The objective of this study is to predict the structural characteristics of a heat exchanger mounted on an aircraft engine using finite element analysis. The plastic fracture and life of the heat exchanger were estimated by a thermo-mechanical analysis. Tensile tests were conducted under high temperature conditions (700, 800, 900, 1000 K) using five specimens to obtain the mechanical properties of the Inconel 625 tubes. To assess the structural characteristics of the heat exchanger, the full and partial models were applied under the operating conditions given by the thermo-mechanical and inertial load. As a result, the case, tubesheet, flange, and mounting components have a reasonable safety margin to the allowable stress assuming a fatigue strength of Inconel 625 of 10000 cycles under 1000 K.

직물구조 복합재료는 일방향 섬유강화복합재료에 비해 변형능력이나 인장강도가 우수하므로, 항공우주, 첨단 산업 기기에 적용될 뿐만 아니라 다른 광범위한 분야에서 사용되고 있으나 복잡한 강화구조를 가지기 때문에 그 역학적 손상거동은 파악하기가 쉽지 않다. Uetsugi 등은 직물구조 CFRP 복합재에 대하여 미세구조를 고려한 유한요소모델을 제안하여 손상진전 해석하였고, 지금까지 많은 연구자에 의해 여러 가지 수법이 제안되어져 왔으나, 아직까지 명확한 파괴거동 해석수법이 확립되어 있지 않다.(중략)

재료의 마이크로 스케일 해석에서 결정의 geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) 효과에 의한 소성구배(plastic gradient)를 고려하는 것은 재료의 소성 거동을 분석하는데 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 먼거리(long range)에서 전위(dislocation)의 영향을 고려하는 GND의 효과를 적용하여 소성 구배의 영향을 받는 다결정(polycrystal) 고체의 거동을 유한요소해석을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 재료의 거동을 분석하기 위해 탄성(elastic)과 소성(plastic) 변형에 먼 거리 변형률(long range strain)을 고려한 항(term)이 포함된 변형 구배(deformation gradient)의 multiplicative decomposition 모델을 사용하였다. 먼 거리 변형률에 의한 영향을 고려하기 위해 구배 경화 계수(gradient hardness coefficient)와 먼 거리 변형률 길이에 대한 재료변수(parameter)가 사용되었다. 각각의 계수들이 다결정 고체의 거동에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 두 변수의 적용에 따른 다결정 고체의 거동을 분석하였다. 다결정 재료의 GND 효과에 의한 소성 구배 효과를 고려해서, 고려하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 발생하는 경화(hardening)의 차이를 분석함으로서 GND에 의한 다결정 고체 거동의 영향을 확인하였다.

The initiation and growth of microcracks or microvoids inside concrete results in the progressive degradation of concrete. This damage processing along processing along with plastic deformation is main cause of nonlinear behavior of concrete. In this study, a continuum damage model of concrete is developed for the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of concrete due to damage and elasto-plastic deformation. Anisotropic damage tensor is used to describe the anisotropy of concrete and hypothesis of equivalent elastic energy is used to define the effective elastic tensor. The damage model including the damage evolution law and constitutive equation is derived with damage variable and damage surface which is defined by damage energy release rate by using the Helmholtz free energy and dissipation potential based on the thermodynamic principles. By adopting a typical plasticity model of concrete, plasticity of concrete is included to this model. Afinite element analysis program implemented with this model was developed and finite element analysis was performed for the analyses of concrete subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loadings. Comparison of the results of analysis with those of experiments and other models shows that the model successfully predicts the nonlinear behavior of concrete.

Aircraft engines are exposed to high temperatures, high pressures, and stress caused by the rotation of the turbine shaft during flight. These loads can result in microcracks both on the inside and outside surfaces of the structure. Consequently, this can lead to structural defects and negatively impact the lifespan of the parts. To proactively prevent these defects, a finite element analysis is carried out to identify cracks. However, this process is time-consuming and requires significant effort due to the repetitive nature of crack modeling. This study aims to develop a crack modeling method based on the finite element model. To achieve this, the Constrained Delaunay Triangulation (CDT) technique is employed to triangulate the space while considering limitations on point connections. The effectiveness of this method is validated by comparing stress intensity factors for semi-elliptical cracks in plates and cylindrical vessels. This approach proves to be a valuable tool for crack analysis studies.

In this paper, a coarse lunar soil model is developed using discrete element method and its computed physical properties are compared with those of the actual lunar soil for its validation. The surface of the actual moon consists of numerous craters and rocks of various sizes, and it is covered with fine dry soil which seriously affects the landing stability of the lunar lander. Therefore, in consideration of the environment of the lunar regolith, the lunar soil is realized using discrete element method. To validate the coarse model of lunar soil, the simulations of the indentation test and the direct shear test are performed to check the physical properties(indentation depth, cohesion stress, internal friction angle). To examine the performance of the proposed model, the drop simulation of finite element model of single-leg landing gear is performed on proposed soil models with different particle diameters. The impact load delivered to the strut of the lander is compared to test results.

균질화기법을 적용하여 치과 임플란트 시스템에 대한 미세응력해석을 수행하였다. 균질화기법은 하악골내의 해면골과 같은 비균질 비등방성 구조체에 대한 물질모델을 설정하고 이를 이용하여 수치해석시 작은 계산량으로도 해면골조직의 미세단위까지의 응력해석을 가능케 하여준다. 균질화기법을 적용하여 계산된 해면골의 스트레스레벨은 기존의 방법으로 계산도니 수치보다 열배이상 높게 나타났는데, 이는 치과 임플란트 시스템의 응력상태에 대한 기존의 인식과 큰 차이를 보이고 있어 치과 임플란트 설계에 대한 전반적인 검토가 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 또한 균질화기법을 통하여 임플란트 시스템에 대한 측방력의 효과는 매우 크게 나타남을 확인할 수 있었고, 임플란트 시스템의 응력해석시 지나치게 단순화된 유한요소 모델을 사용함으로서 발생되는 오류가 지적되었다.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the stress distribution of mandibular molar restoration supported by the implants with external hex and internal taper abutment connection design. Materials and Methods: Models of external connection (EXHEX) and internal connection (INCON) implants, corresponding abutment/crowns, and screws were developed. Supporting edentulous mandibular bony structures were designed. All the components were assembled and a finite element analysis was performed to predict the magnitude and pattern of stresses generated by occlusal loading. A total of 120 N static force was applied both by axial (L1) and oblique (L2) direction. Results: Peak von Mises stresses produced in the implants by L2 load produced 6 - 15 times greater than those by L1 load. The INCON model showed 2.2 times greater total amount of crown cusp deflection than the EXHEX model. Fastening screw in EXHEX model and upside margin of implant fixture in INCON model generated the peak von Mises stresses by oblique occlusal force. EXHEX model and INCON model showed the similar opening gap between abutment and fixture, but intimate sealing inside the contact interface was maintained in INCON model. Conclusion: Oblique force produced grater magnitudes of deflection and stress than those by axial force. The maximum stress area at the implant was different between the INCON and EXHEX models.
