This paper introduces a new explicit spectral element method for the simulation of SH-waves in semi-infinite domains. To simulate the wave motion in unbounded domains, it is necessary to reduce the infinite extent to a finite computational domain of interest. To prevent the wave reflection from the trunctated boundaries, perfectly matched layer(PML) wave-absorbing boundary is introduced. The forward problem for simulating SH-waves in PML-truncated domains can be formulated as second-order PDEs. The second-order semi-discrete form of the governing PDEs is constructed by using a mixed spectral elements with Legendre-gauss-Lobatto quadrature method, which results in a diagonalized mass matrix. Then the second-order semi-discrete form is transformed to a first-order, whose solutions are calculated by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Numerical examples showed that solutions of SH-wave in the two-dimensional analysis domain resulted in stable and accurate, and reflections from truncated boundaries could be reduced by using PML boundaries. Elastic wave propagation analysis using explicit time integration method may be apt for solving larger domain problems such as three-dimensional elastic wave problem more efficiently.

Recent investigation into the integrity of nuclear containment buildings has highlighted the importance of developing an elaborate diagnostic method to evaluate the distribution and size of cavities inside concrete walls. As part of developing such a method, this paper presents a finite element approach to modeling elastic waves propagating in the containment building walls of a nuclear power plant. We introduce a perfectly matched layer (PML) wave-absorbing boundary to limit the large-scale nuclear containment wall to the region of interest. The formulation results in a semi-discrete form with symmetric damping and stiffness matrices. The transient elastic wave equations for a mixed unsplit-field PML were solved for displacement and stresses in the time domain. Numerical results show that the sensitivity of displacement, velocity, acceleration, and stresses is large depending on the size and location of the cavity. The dynamic response of the wall slightly differs depending on the existence of the containment liner plate. The results of this study can be applied to a full-waveform inversion approach for characterizing cavities inside a containment wall.

정밀한 위치결정에 사용되는 GPS는 초기 군사목적을 벗어나 자동차, 선박, 비행기 등의 항법은 물론 측량분야, 지각 및 구조물의 변위 감시, 우주, 통신, 국방 분야 등 매우 광범위한 분야에서 활용되고 있으며, 그 이용도가 급속히 증가하는 추세이다. 그러나 GPS 관측값은 부정오차와 정오차 등 많은 오차를 포함하고 있기 때문에 이를 소거하거나 최소화하여야 한다. GPS 오차는 크게 위성궤도나 위성시간 오차등 위성에 관련된 오차, 수신기 잡음이나 다중경로 등 수신기 관련 오차, 그리고 대류권이나 전리층에 의한 전파 오차로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 오차들은 대부분 차분방법과 수학적 알고리즘에 의해 소거되거나 최소화되지만, 다중경로와 수신기 잡음은 소거하거나 축소할 수 없다. 다중경로는 관측당시의 수신기 주변환경에 따라 바뀌기 때문에 수학적으로 소거할 수 없으며, 수신기 잡음은 수신기 내부의 노이즈로 인하여 발생하기 때문에 소거하기가 상당히 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 다중경로에 의한 GPS 기선변화를 알아보기 위해서 여러 조건하에서 정적 GPS 측량을 실시하였다. 먼저 정확한 좌표를 알고 있는 한 점에 GPS를 설치하고 다른 두 대의 GPS을 임의 점에 설치하였고, 이들 두 GPS 중에 하나의 수신기에 다중경로 환경을 설정하였다 정적 GPS 관측시 기선에 어떠한 변화가 오는 파악하기 위해서 기선처리와 망조정을 통해 기선길이와 좌표값을 산출하였다. 이러한 다중경로 실험은 구조물 모니터링 등 mm 정확도를 요구하는 GPS 측량에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The forced vibration of a finite cylindrical shell has been analyzed from an elastic wave viewpoint. The displacement vector is used to formulate the vibration field, that is regarded as a superposition of disturbances due to elastic waves propagating on the shell. The reflection matrix is also used in the formulation of the vibration field, that is easily derived in the present approach. It allows one to easily identify the wave conversion of elastic waves at the ends of the shell. The present approach is used to predict the vibration field of the cylindrical shell with free-free boundary conditions. The contribution of each type of elastic waves into the vibration field was identified, and the wave conversion at the ends of the shell was observed. Those results showed that the present approach can be effectively used to analyze the forced vibration of the cylindrical shell from an elastic wave viewpoint.

A fuel specific detonation wave in a pipe propagates with a predictable wave velocity. This internal detonation wave speed determines the level of flexural wave excitation of pipes and the possibility of resonant response leading to a large displacement. In this paper, we present particular solutions of displacements and the resonance conditions for internally loaded pipe structures. These analytical results are compared to numerical simulations obtained using a hydrocode(multi-material blast wave analysis tool). We expect to identify potential explosion hazards in the general power industries.

The propagating crack problems under dynamic plane mode in orthotropic material is studied in this paper. To analyze the dynamic fracture problems in orthortropic material, it is important to know the dynamic stress components and dynamic displacement components around the crack tip. Therefore the dynamic stress components of dynamic stress field and dynamic displacement components of dynamic displacement field in the crack tip of orthotropic material under the dynamic load and the steady state in crack propagation were derived. When the crack propagation speed approachs to zero, the dynamic stress component and dynamic displacement components derived in this study are identical to the those of static state. In addition, the relationships between dynamic stress intensity factor and dynamic energy release rate are determinded by using the concept of crack closure closure energy with the dynamic stresses and represented according to physical properties of the orthotrophic material and crack speeds. The faster the crack velocity, the greater the stress value of stress components in crack tip. The stress value of the stress component of crack tip is greater when fiber direction coincides with the crack propagation than when fider direction is normal to the crack propagation.

It has been a principle research topic on the diesel engine development to increase the efficiency and the performance of engine to satisfy the user's needs for high reliability and durability. However, recently with the worldwide concerns at the global climate change and environmental protection, the main target in the diesel engine research has been changed to solve the exhaust emission problem in order to satisfy the strict emission regulations. To reduce the pollutant for the diesel engine, the researchs on the combustion chamber is the most important and has to be performed first of all. The diesel fuel injection system plays major role to air-fuel mixing process and influences engine output, themal efficiency, reliability, noise, and emissions. The experimental studies were conducted by varying the various parametric conditions and the results were campared with the computation and calculated results by using the fuel injection simulation program developed during previous research. From the experiments, the matching technique of a fuel injection pump and nozzle was conducted to understand under the various parametric conditions. Also, the relations between needle lift and wave propagation characteristics in high pressure pipe were examined. The basic design data from the experimentations and computation works would be applied to actual design works of diesel fuel injection system.

A rubber bushing has the nonlinear characteristics for both the amplitude and the frequency and represents the hysteretic responses under the periodic excitation. In this paper, one-axis durability test is performed to describe the mechanical behavior of typical vehicle elastomeric components. The results of the tests are used to develop m empirical bushing model with an artificial neural network. The back propagation algerian is used to obtain the weighting factor of the neural network. A numerical example is carried out to verify the developed bushing model and the vehicle simulation is performed to show the fidelity of proposed model.

The stress conditions acting on the practical structure are complex, and thus most cracks existing in the practical structures are under mixed-mode loading conditions. The effect of shear load component of mixed-mode loading acts more greatly in the stage of crack initiation and initial propagation than crack propagation stage. Hence, research on the behavior in the stage of crack initiation and initial propagation need to be examined in order to evaluate behavior of mixed-mode fatigue cracks. In this study, the crack tip displacement(CTD) was measured by using the direct measuring method(DMM). We examined the behavior at crack tip by determining crack opening load$(P_{op})$. From the test results, the propagation behavior of mixed-mode fatigue cracks was evaluated by considering mixed-mode crack closure. Also, we examined the characteristic of crack propagation under mixed-mode loading with crack propagation direction.
