복잡한 형상의 서지 탱크를 CAEDS의 GEOMOD를 이용하여 내부의 리보까지 포함한 용기를 모델링하였으며, 설계 부피를 검사하고 GEOMOD와 GFEM 사이의 직접 데이터 교환을 통하여 구조 해석에 필요한 유한요소를 만들었다. 유한요소법에 최적화 이론을 적용하여 서지탱크의 두께 변화에 따른 응력의 설계 민감도를 구하였으며, 민감도를 근거로 보강 위치 및 국부적인 용기의 두께를 결정하였다. 유한요소법 프로그램(IFES, GFEM)과 솔리드 모델러(GEOMOD), 그리고 최적화 기법(IFES-Optimization)을 모두 통합하여, 최적 설계를 수행함으로써 반복되는 실험에 의한 시간과 경비를 줄임과 동시에 신뢰성 있는 설계방법 및 방향을 제시하였다.

This study discusses numerically-explored thermal performances of hybrid fin heat sinks (HF HSs) for lightweight thermal management of LED modules under natural convection. A hollow hybrid fin heat sink (HHF HS) and a solid hybrid fin heat sink (SHF HS) are proposed as HF HSs. A 3-D CFD analysis has been carefully conducted to obtain reliable numerical results. The 3-D CFD study investigates the effects of both fin spacing and an internal channel diameter on performances of the HHF HS and the SHF HS. The study results show that the mass-based thermal resistance of the HHF HS is 20~32% smaller compared with the pin fin heat sink (PF HS). The results also show that the mass-based thermal resistance of the HHF HS decreases with the increase of the channel diameter. These results are mainly due to coupled effects of the mass reduction and heat pumping through an internal channel. Considerably superior mass-based thermal performances of the HHF HS to the conventional PF HS suggest the feasible application for the lightweight thermal management of the LED modules under natural convection.

The paper deals with a fully assumed strain soild element that can be used for modeling of thin sensors and actuators. To solve fully coupled field problems, the eledtric potential is regarded as a nodal degree of freedom in addition to three translations in an eighteen node assumed strain soild element. Therefore, the induced electric potential can be calculated for a prescribed load and the actuation displacement can be computed for an input voltage. Since the assumed strain solid element can alleviate locking. A finite element code is developed based on the formulation and typical numerical examples are solved for code validation. Using the code, we have conducted parametric study for THUNDER actuator. It is found that a particular combination of materials for layer curvature of THUNDER improves the actuation displacement.

A simplified material model, which was efficiently implemented in a three-dimensional finite solid element (3D FE) analysis for wood was developed. The bi-linear elasto-plastic anisotropic material theory was adopted to describe constitutive relations of wood in three major directions including longitudinal, radial and tangential direction. The assumption of transverse isotropy was made to reduce the requisite 27 material constants to 6 independent constants including elastic moduli, yield stresses and Poisson's ratios in the parallel, and perpendicular to grain directions. The results of Douglas fir compression tests in the three directions were compared to the 3D FE simulation incorporated with the wood material model developed in this study. Successful agreements of the results were found in the load-deformation curves and the permanent deformations. Future works and difficulties expected in the advanced application of the model were discussed.

3D laser scanning can be used for scanning the freeform surface and building a model from which the measurements could be taken, in order to solve the difficulty with getting access to the exact freeform shape and position data of the complex building envelope. The shape making process using 3D scanning is as follows: point cloud, mesh surface segmentation, NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-spline) surface generation, and parametric solid model generation. In this research, we review previous studies, reverse engineering notion, importance of reverse engineering usage for freeform envelope, and previous cases in order to identify the detail reverse engineering process for prefabrication and construction of freeform panels using 3D laser scanning technology. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present a basic information which should be considered during design and construction phase and improve quality and constructibility of freeform building by analyzing the reverse engineering process and case study for prefabrication and construction of freeform panels using 3D laser scanning. The research results will enable 3D shape engineering and design parameterization using reverse engineering to be used in various construction projects.

Low-velocity impact on composite sandwich panel has been investigated. Contact force is computed from a proposed modified Hertzian contact law. The Hertzian contact law is constructed by adjusting numerical value of the exponent and reducing the through-the- thickness elastic constant of honeycomb core. The equivalent transverse elastic constant is calculated from the rule of mixture. Nonlinear equation to calculate the contact force is solved by the Newton-Raphson method and time integration is done by the Newmark-beta method. A finite element program for the low-velocity impact analysis is coded by implementing these techniques and an 18-node assumed strain solid element. Behaviors of composite sandwich panels subjected to low-velocity impact are analyzed for various cases with different geometry and lay-ups. It has been found that the present code with the proposed contact law can predict measured contact forces and contact times for most cases within reasonable error bounds.

In this paper, the strain distribution of the bond layer has been compared with the experimental data and analyzed according to the different mesh refinements and element types. The mesh density was changed along the longitudinal direction of adherend, the longitudinal direction of overlapped region, the vertical direction of adherend, the vertical direction of adhesive and the width direction of the joint. In addition, the effect of the different types of element was evaluated using soild, shell and plane strain element. The geometric nonlinear analysis was performed to consider the large deformation of the joint. From the numerical result, at least 2 elements were needed to achieve a reliable result as the solid element used. In case of shell element, the peel strain at x/c=1 showed 22.8% error compared with the experiment but the shear strain showed a good agreement with the experiment within 1.67% error.

The purpose of this paper is to develop two kinds of finite element models for the heavy deformable obstacle defined in grade crossing collision scenario of the Europe TSI and the Korean rolling stock safety regulations and to apply the crashworthiness evaluation for the Korean high-speed EMU with the FE model. The numerical models of the heavy obstacle were changed from a past rigid one to a current deformable one whose stiffness requirement should be verified by a collision simulation defined in the regulations. Through several trial simulations, two types of numerical models for the heavy obstacle were developed, which satisfied physical properties specifies in the regulations. One is a solid-type obstacle with uniform density and the other is a shell-type. With the obstacles developed in this study, the grade crossing collision scenario for Korean high-speed EMU was simulated and evaluated for the two-type obstacle models. From the simulation results, the shell and solid-type obstacles showed quite different behaviors after collision, and the shell type model gave more severe results.

In the deployable solid surface antennas, the effects on the performances of antenna due to the structural errors that occur during the deployment are analyzed. The deployable solid surface antennas employed in a satellite are launched in folded configuration and those are deployed in the space environment, and the effects on the antenna performance are calculated depending on the type of surface errors. When the deviation error occurs in one panel, the degradation of performance appears in the side where the incomplete deployment of panel occurs. By assuming that the panel error distribution is in cosine function, the effect of errors are calculated and analyzed with regard to the types and the magnitude of the error. If the antena panel error is uniform, the gain is reduced and pattern is symmetric. For the panel error of cosine 1 or 3 cycle, the main lobe tilts while the pattern is symmetric and the gain reduces for 2 or 4 cycle error.
