Flexible multibody simulations are widely used in the industry to design mechanical systems. In flexible multibody dynamics, deformation coordinates are described either relatively in the body reference frame that is floating in the space or in the inertial reference frame. Moreover, these deformation coordinates are generated based on the discretization of the body according to the finite element approach. Therefore, the formulation of the flexible multibody system always deals with a huge number of degrees of freedom and the numerical solution methods require a substantial amount of computational time. Parallel computational methods are a solution for efficient computation. However, most of the parallel computational methods are focused on the efficient solution of large-sized linear equations. For multibody analysis, we need to develop an efficient formulation that could be suitable for parallel computation. In this paper, we developed a subsystem synthesis method for a flexible multibody system and proposed efficient parallel computational schemes based on the OpenMP API in order to achieve efficient computation. Simulations of a rotating blade system, which consists of three identical blades, were carried out with two different parallel computational schemes. Actual CPU times were measured to investigate the efficiency of the proposed parallel schemes.

Although the cable-stayed bridges with two I-type girders inherently do not have good aerodynamic characteristics, a lot of the bridges with this type girders are constructed in Korea recently because of an economical merit. This paper investigated the aerodynamic characteristics of the cable-stayed bridges with two I-type girders. Section model tests were conducted in order to investigate the aerodynamic behaviors of this section with varying of the angles of attack, turbulence intensity and damping ratios. Two deck section configurations with different torsional stiffness were studied under construction and after completion respectively. Three types of the fairings were investigated to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the bridges. The result of this study showed that the traditional section model test in uniform flow estimates the aerodynamic behavior rather pessimistically. The wind induced responses of the bridges were severely varied in accordance with the turbulence intensity and the structural damping ratio. The proposed fairing reduced the magnitude of the vortex-shedding vibrations and buffeting responses. It also increased the wind speed at which flutter occurs. It is expected that these investigations would provide a lot of information for the design of the cable stayed bridges with two I-type girders regarding wind resistance.

This paper presents a method to detect the fiber property variation of laminated GFRP plates from natural frequency response data. The combined finite element analysis using ABAQUS and the inverse algorithm described in this paper may allow us not only to detect the deteriorated elements from the mirco-mechanical point of view but also to find their numbers, locations, and the extent of damage. To solve the inverse problem using the combined method, this study uses several natural frequencies instead of mode shapes in a structure as the measured data. Several numerical results show that the proposed system is computationally efficient in identifying fiber stiffness degradation for complex structures such as composites with various layup sequences.

컴퓨터에서 생성된 시뮬레이션의 결과는 일련의 가시화(VIsualization)라는 과정을 거치면서 컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술이 적용됨으로써 인간이 해석하기 쉬운 형태로 변형되게 된다. 연구자가 직관적으로 이해하기 어려운 수치의 나열로 구성돼 있던 시뮬레이션 데이터가 보다 쉽게 이해하고 분석할 수 있게 되는 것이다. 그런데, 최근에는 고성능 컴퓨터(HPC)의 발달로 인해 시뮬레이션 데이터의 크기가 점점 더 증가하는 추세에 있으며, 데이터의 크기가 기가바이트를 넘어 테라바이트에 이르는 경우도 흔해지고 있다. 기존의 가시화 시스템에서 복잡해진 가시화 데이터를 면밀하게 해석하기에는 많은 제약이 따르며, 그로 인해 고해상도 디스플레이 장치나 몰입형 가상현실 장치의 도입은 필연적일 수밖에 없다. 특히 현 시점에서 클러스터 시스템을 이용한 고해상도의 디스플레이 장치에서 사용자와 상호작용할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공하는 방법은 가상현실 환경을 적절히 활용하는 것이 거의 유일하다 할 수 있겠다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 데이터, 특히 로터 동역학 분야의 시뮬레이션 데이터를 가상현실 환경에서 가시화하고 제어하는데 필요한 프레임워크와 인터페이스를 소개할 것이다. 이 프레임워크는 가상현실 환경에서 로터 동역학 분야의 시뮬레이션 데이터와의 실시간 상호작용을 통한 해석을 수행하는데 필요한 기반환경을 제공할 것이다.
