In this study, a classification and uniaxial compression test of soil was conducted on 15 collapsed sites to use ground improvement with excellent protection effect owing to the increase of localized heavy rain in Korea. The Casagrande method and fall cone test were performed on the field soil to derive an expression for comparing liquid limit and plastic limit values, soil classification, and correlation between each other. By deriving the optimal mixing ratio of the ground improvement agent using uniaxial compressive strength for each soil classification, the classification of the fine-grained soil was not clear owing to the proficiency difference and test error. However, after classifying using the fall cone test, it was possible to suggest a clear optimal mixing ratio.

본 논문에서는 수중익 버블 캐비테이션과 날개 끝 볼텍스 캐비테이션의 거동 및 소음을 Eulerian-Lagrangian 기법을 이용하여 수치적으로 해석하였다. Eulerian-Lagrangian 기법은 캐비테이션 버블이 유동장에 미치는 영향이 거의 없다는 가정하에 유동장과 캐비테이션 거동을 일방으로 연계하여 해석하는 방식이다. 수중익 버블 캐비테이션 해석을 위한 유동장은 비압축성 RAMS 방정식을 해석하여 구하고 날개 끝 볼텍스 캐비테이션 유동장은 일반적 CFD 기법의 큰 수치 소산으로 그 특성이 잘 나타나지 않으므로 Sculley 볼텍스 모델을 이용하여 해석한다. 해석한 유동장 정보를 입력치로 하고 버블의 지배 방정식인 Rayleigh-Plesset 방정식과 Newton의 제2법칙에 근거한 궤적 방정식을 연계하여 캐비테이션의 성장-붕괴와 운동을 예측한다. 계산된 거동 정보를 이용하여 버블 캐비테이션과 날개 끝 볼텍스 캐비테이션의 소음을 예측하였다. 본 연구는 수중 운동체에서 발생하는 캐비테이션의 거동과 소음의 특성을 파악하고 그에 따른 대비책을 마련하는 기본 연구로서 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, static axial crush tests were performed with the new aluminum/GFRP hybrid tube. Glass/Epoxy prepregs were wrapped around an aluminum tube and co-cured. The failure of the hybrid tube was stable and progressive without trigger mechanism, and specific energy absorption was increased to the maximum of 33% in comparison with the aluminum tube. Effective energy absorption is possible for an inner aluminum tube because a wrapped composite tube constrains the deflection of an aluminum tube. The failure of a hybrid composite tube was stable without trigger mechanism because the inner aluminum tube could play the role of the crack initiator and controller. Mean crushing load could be calculated by modifying the plastic hinge collapse model for hybrid materials. The predicted results by this analytical model showed good agreement with the experimental results. It can be said that Aluminum/Glass-Epoxy hybrid tube is suitable for the vehicle front structure because this hybrid tube shows effective energy absorption, easy production, and simple application capability for RTM process.

The buoy of the wave energy converter moves by direct contact with the fluid. In order to design a buoy by using the numerical method, it is necessary to analyze not only the contact with the fluid but also the exact behavior of the fluid. In this paper, differences between weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) and incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) are compared and analyzed for two-dimensional dam breaking simulation. ABAQUS, which is a commercial analysis program, is used for WCSPH analysis. A laboratory code is developed for ISPH analysis. The surface shape, the velocity, and the pressure pattern of the fluid are compared. The results of the laboratory code show the similar tendencies with those of ABAQUS, and there is a little difference in the pressure result.

A code is developed to simulate incompressible free surface flows using the Roe's flux-difference splitting scheme. An interface of two fluids is considered as a moving contact discontinuity. The continuities of pressure and normal velocity across the interface are enforced by the conservation law in the integral sense. The fluxes are computed using the Roe's flux-difference splitting scheme for two incompressible fluids. The interface can be identified based on the computed density distribution. However, no additional treatment is required along the interface during the whole computations. Complicated time evolution of the interface including topological change can be captured without any difficulties. The developed code is applied to simulate the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two incompressible fluids in the density ratio of 7.2:1 and the broken dam problem of water-air. The present results are compared with other available results and good agreements are achieved for the both cases.

The computation of moving interface by the level set method typically requires reinitializations of level set function. An inaccurate estimation of level set function ${\phi}$ results in incorrect free-surface capturing and thus errors such as mass gain/loss. Therefore, accurate and robust reinitialization process is essential to the free-surface flows. In the present paper, we pursue further development of the reinitialization process, which evaluates directly level set function ${\phi}$ using a normal vector in the interface without solving the re-distancing equation of hyperbolic type. The Taylor-Galerkin approximation and P1P1splitting FEM are adopted to discretize advection equation of the level set function and the Navier-Stokes equation, respectively. Advection equation of free surface and re-initialization process are validated with benchmark problems, i.e., a broken dam flow and time-reversed single vortex flow. The simulation results are in good agreement with the existing results.

Computation of moving interface by the level set method typically requires the reinitialization of level set function. An inaccurate estimation of level set function $\phi$ results in incorrect free-surface capturing and thus errors such as mass gain/loss. Therefore, an accurate and robust reinitialization process is essential to the simulation of free-surface flows. In the present paper, we pursue further development of the reinitialization process, which evaluates level set function directly using a normal vector on the interface without solving there-distancing equation of hyperbolic type. The Taylor-Galerkin approximation and P1P1 splitting/SUPG (Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin) FEM are adopted to discretize advection equation of the level set function and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation, respectively. Advection equation and re-initialization process of free surface capturing are validated with benchmark problems, i.e., a broken dam flow and timereversed single vortex flow. The simulation results are in good agreement with the existing results.

A particle method, recognized as one of gridless methods, has been developed to investigate non-linear free-surface motions interacting with structures. This method is more feasible and effective than conventional grid methods for solving flow fieldswith complicated boundary shapes. The method consists of particle interaction models representing pressure gradient, diffusion, incompressibility, and the free-surface boundary conditions without grids. In the present study, broken dam problems with various viscosity values are simulated to validate the developed method.

Stiffened steel plates are basic structural members on the deck and bottom structure in ship, offshore. It has a number of one sided stiffeners in either one or both directions, the latter structure was called grillage structure. At the ship structural desgn stage, one of the major consideration is evaluation for ultimate strength of the hull girder. In general, it is accepted that hull girder strength can be represented by the local strength of the longitudinal stiffened panel. In case of considering hogging condition in a stormy sea, stiffened panel was acting on the bottom structure under axial compressive load induced hull girder bending moment, also simultaneously arising local bending moment induced lateral pressure load. In this paper, results of the structural analysis have been compared with another detailed FEA program and prediction from design guideline and a series analysis was conducted consideration of changing parameters for instance, analysis range, cross-section of stiffener, web height and amplitude of lateral pressure load subjected to combined load (axial compression and lateral pressure load). It has been found that finite element modeling is capable of predicting the behaviour and ultimate load capacity of a simply supported stiffened plate subjected to combined load of axial compression and lateral pressure load It is expected that these results will be used to examine the effect of interaction between lateral pressure and axial loads for the ultimate load-carrying capacity based on the Ultimate Limit State design guideline.

Recently, the probability of collision accident between vehicles or vessels and infrastructures are increasing at alarming rate. Particularly, collision impact load can be detrimental to sub-structures such as piers and columns. The damaged pier from an impact load of a vehicle or a vessel can lead to member damages, which make the member more vulnerable to impact load due to other accidents which. In extreme case, may cause structural collapse. Therefore, in this study, the vehicle impact load on concrete compression member was considered to assess the quantitative design resistance capacity to improve, the existing design method and to setup the new damage assessment method. The case study was carried out using the LS-DYNA, an explicit finite element analysis program. The parameters for the case study were cross-section variation of pier, impact load angle, permanent axial load and axial load ratio, concrete strength, longitudinal and lateral rebar ratios, and slenderness ratio. Using the analysis results, the performance based resistance capacity evaluation method for impact load using satisfaction curve was developed using Bayesian probabilistic method, which can be applied to reinforced concrete column design for impact loads.
