As the properties of porous materials during the drying process relate to the atomistic defects of heterogeneous materials such as dislocation, grain, grain boundary, pore, etc., the knowledge of nano-scale analysis is needed in order to accurately analyze the drying process for porous materials. In this study, the atomic behavior of porous materials Is statically predicted by using the molecular dynamics simulation and the nano-scale material properties are computed. The elastic modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, and volumetric heat capacity numerically found from the molecular dynamics simulation are compared with those of experiment and theory and proved the accuracy.

The typical truss-lattice material successively packed by repeated cubic symmetric unit cells consists of sub-elements (SE) proposed in this study. The representative continuum model for this truss-lattice material such as the effective strain and stress relationship can be formulated by the homogenization procedure based on the notation of averaged mechanical properties. The volume fractions of micro-scale struts have a significant influence on the effective strength as well as the relative density in the lattice plate with replicable unit cell structures. Most of the strength contribution in the lattice material is induced by axial stiffness under uniform stretching or compression responses. Therefore, continuum based constitutive models composed of homogenized member stiffness include these mechanical characteristics with respect to strength, internal stress state, material density based on the volume fraction and even failure modes. It can be also recognized that the stress state of micro-scale struts is directly associated with the continuum constitutive model. The plastic flow at the micro-scale stress can extend the envelope of the analytical stress function on the surface of macro-scale stress derived from homogenized constitutive equations. The main focus of this study is to investigate the basic topology of unit cell structures with the cubic symmetric system and to formulate the plastic models to predict pressure dependent macro-scale stress surface functions.

단섬유보강 금속복합재료의 2차가공은 금속복합재료의 넓은 범위 응용을 위해 필히 요구된다. 여러 가공방법 중 하나인 열간압출시 보강섬유파괴 및 계면에서의 접합분리 및 균열발생이 없는 제조공정의 최적화를 위해서 가공시 내부조직의 소성변형 기구 규명보다 압출력에 의한 응력분 포와 기지재료와 보강섬유 사이 계면 변화 및 기계적 특성 관계규명이 정량적으로 요구된다. 본 글에서는 유한요소법을 이용하여 계면에서의 접합상태를 임의로 가정하여 압출조건에 따른 압 출후의 보강섬유 방향 및 계면균열 및 접합분리를 거시적으로 예측하고, advanced shear-lag을 이용하여 균열 전, 후의 응력. 변형관계를 미시적으로 규명할 수 있음을 제시하였다. 그러나 향후 현상적 모델인 shear-lag 모델을 수학적 모델인 균질화법에 도입하면 미시적. 거시적 거 동해석이 함께 요구되는 금속복합재료의 열간압출거동 해석을 일체적으로 행할 수 있어 효율적 이고 정확한 예측이 가능하리라고 사료된다.

세라믹은 금속에 비해서 밀도가 낮고, 내마멸성이 우수하고, 열팽창계수가 작고, 높은 온도범위에 걸쳐서 안정성과 경도를 유지함으로 기계구조용재료로서 유망시 되고 있다. 앞으로 세라믹부품에 대한 수요는 더욱 증가하리라고 예상하고 있으며, 세라믹의 응용이 시도되고 있는 부품은 더욱 다양화되어가고 있는 추세이다. 그러나, 세라믹재료에 관한 신뢰할만한 데이터베이스는 확립되지 못한 상태이고, 트라이보시스템에 관한 수명예측과 설계를 위한 기초 자료도 확립하지 못한 상태에 있다. 세라믹재료에 관한 수명예측과 설계를 위해서는 세라믹재료의 트라이보시스템(tribosystem)에서의 마멸기구의 규명과 마멸율을 평가할 수 있는 마멸식을 구하는 것이 가장 기본적인 과제라 할 수 잇다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최신 기법에 의해서 제조된 HIP제 질화규소와 지르코니아를 실험재료로 하여 무윤활하에서의 미끄럼 마찰$\cdot$마멸실험을 수행하여 마찰$\cdot$마멸특성을 규명하고, SEM을 이용한 마멸면의 미시적 관찰을 통해서 세라믹의 마멸기구를 조사하여 세라믹마멸기구의 마멸모델을 제히하고자 한다. 제시된 마멸모델에 파괴역학을 도입하여 이론해석과 고찰을 수행하여 보다 실용적인 세라믹의 마멸율을 평가할 수 있는 새료운 무차원파라메타를 제안하고자 한다.

Nonlinear stress analysis of nuclear containment building is carried out using microscopic concrete material model. The present study mainly focuses on the evaluation of the ultimate pressure capacity of idealized containment building in nuclear power plant. For this purpose, an eight-node degenerated shell element it adopted and an imaginary opening in the apex of containment building is allowed in FE model. From numerical analysis, the adopted concrete material model performs well and has a good agreement with the result obtained by using ABAQUS. Finally, we propose the present study as a benchmark test for nonlinear analysis of containment building.

A micromechanics-based model to simulate the elastic and elastic-plastic behavior of granular soils is developed. The model accounts for the fabric anisotropy represented by the statistical parameter of the spatial distribution of contact normals, the evolution of fabric anisotropy as a function of stress ratio, the continuous change of the co-ordination number relating to the void ratio, and the elastic and elastic-plastic microscopic contact stiffness. Using the experimental data for metallic materials, the elastic-plastic contact stiffness is derived as a power function of the normal contact force as well as the contact force initiating the yielding of contact bodies. To quantitatively assess microscopic model parameters, approximate solutions of cross-anisotropic elastic moduli are derived in terms of the micromechanical parameters.

An enhanced degenerated shell finite element (FE), which has been developed for inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete structures is described in this paper. Generally, Reissner-Mindlin (RM) assumptions are adopted to develop the degenerated shell FE so that transverse shear deformation effects is considered. However, it is found that there are serious defects such as locking phenomena in RM degenerated shell FE since the stiffness matrix has been overestimated in some situations. As remedies of locking phenomena, reduced integration, incompatible mode and assumed strain method have been used. Especially, the assumed strain method has been successfully used in many FEs. But contrarily, there is a few investigation on the performance of the assumed strains in the inelastic analysis of concrete structures. Therefore, shell formulation is provided in this paper with emphasis on the terms related to the stiffness matrix based on assumed strain method and microscopic concrete material model. Finally, the performance of the present shell element is tested and demonstrated with several numerical examples. From the numerical tests, the present result shows a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

Smart material is used in various applications such as for glass frame, for medical instruments and for a part of sensors. Smart composite materials ran be applied to a part of aircraft and to the on-line monitoring system for industrial structures, using the shape memory effect. However, it is very difficult to simulate and analyze the shape memory effect in smart composites. In this paper, a two dimensional axisymmetric model was proposed to analyze the smart composite of one fiber and matrix using the finite element method(FEM). The finite element analysis was carried out in two renditions of the room temperature(293K) and a higher temperature (363K). The results we.e compared with the experimental results to confirm the validity of the analysis. In addition, the acoustic emission(AE) technique was used to study the microscopic damage behavior and the effect of pre-strains on TiNi/A16061 shape memory alloy composite.
