The finite element and boundary element methods of underground analysis are both well established numerical techniques for determination of stress and displacement distributions at underground excavation. The finite element method presents antithetical advantages and limitations. Complex constitutive behaviour may be modelled, at the expense of numerical efficiency and, for infinite domain, inadequate representation of remote bounadry conditions. The inherent advantages of the boundary element method are the ease with which infinite domain problems may be analysed, and the efficiency of analysis typically associated with a boundary value solution procedure. Application of the method is limited by the requirements linear constitutive behaviour for the medium. A combined of the finite element and boundary element methods of underground analysis is shown to preserve the advantages of each procedure, and, eliminates their individual disadvantages. Procedures employed in this papers described combined FEBEM algorithm. Solutions of underground excavation verifying the performance of combined FEBEM code are compared with theoretical solution, boundary element solution and finite element solution.

Recently, many general-purpose packages for fluid-structure interaction problems have been announced. However, they have a lot of limitations to model structures in the fluid-structure interaction problems reasonably. Utilizing general-purpose packages such as MSC/NASTRAN and SYSNOISE, in this paper, a method to slove the radiation scattering problems with some accuracy in the fluid-structure interaction problems was developed. Using a simple model, the results from the presented method here are compared with those from SYSNOISE. The result shows quite a good agreement between the two methods. The problems, which could not be solved by SYSNOISE, were tried to solve with the presented method and results were presented. It was proved that this method could be safely used to solve fluid-structure interaction problems.

This study introduces a hybrid approach combining numerical results with pre-developed analytical calculations for the sound radiation from the modal vibration of a thick, finite length cylinder with various boundary conditions. Structural vibrations of the cylinder are numerically investigated with the finite element method, and distributions of vibratory displacements on the cylinder surface are idealized as simple mathematical expressions based on the numerical results. Sound radiations from the normal vibration of the cylinder are calculated based on idealized modal displacements using a previously introduced theoretical solution. The results are confirmed with numerical analyses using the boundary element method. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the solutions suggested in this study have good accuracies in calculating the vibro-acoustic properties of a thick, finite cylinder with various boundary conditions. Also, the sound radiation characteristics of many practical components such as brake drums and motor housings are expected to be investigated using the procedure proposed in this study.

천수방정식을 사용하는 초기 수치모형은 프로드수($F_4$)가 변화하는 흐름 즉, 상류방향과 하류방향으로 전파하는 홍수파를 동시에 해석하기 위해 중앙 차분기법이 필요한 상류(sub-critical flow)와 흐름방향에 따른 상류이송(upwinding)기법이 필요한 사류(super-critical flow)가 나타나는 흐름해석에서 어려움이 있었다. 하지만, 근사 Riemann 해법의 등장으로 흐름방향에 관계없이 특성선을 따라 정확한 상향가중기법의 적용이 가능하게 되어, 천수방정식을 지배방정식으로 하는 수치모형이 더욱 실용적으로 적용될 수 있도록 하였다. 따라서, 현재 근사 Riemann 해법은 Godunov 형 유한체적 기법, 불연속 Galerkin 혹은 Petrov-Galerkin 유한요소기법 그리고 Boussinesq 기법에도 적용되고 있으며, 특히 Godunov 형 유한체적기법과 결합한 근사 Riemann 해법은 댐 붕괴, 하천 범람 그리고 도시 및 해안지역 침수에 이르기까지 여러 가지 문제에 폭넓게 적용되고 있다. 지금까지 홍수 모델링에 적용된 Godunov형 유한체적모형은 정형 사각격자나 비정형 삼각격자 중에서 한가지의 격자 종류만을 적용한 연구가 주로 수행되었으며, 유한요소모형과 같이 이 두 가지 격자를 동시에 적용한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 일반적으로, 삼각격자는 사각격자와 는 달리 연구유역의 경계나 지형이 복잡한 경우에도 큰 노력없이 격자의 생성이 가능하나, 격자와 노드의 수가 사각격자보다 많아 계산시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 반면, 사각격자는 하천과 같이 선형으로 변하는 지형에 대해서는 표현하기가 용이하며 계산시간의 효율성도 뛰어나다. 본 연구에서는 하천, 도시 그리고 해안지역에서의 효율적이고 정확한 홍수 모델링을 위해 삼각 및 사각격자 그리고 이 두 격자를 동시에 고려한 하이브리드 격자의 적용이 가능한 Godunov형 2차원 유한체적 모형을 개발하였다. 그리고 개발모형을 정확해가 있는 댐 붕괴 문제, 실측치가 존재하는 실험하도 및 실제하도에 삼각, 사각 그리고 혼합격자를 생성하여 모의를 수행하고, 각 적용 격자에 따른 정확성과 효율성 및 장점과 단점을 연구하였다.

Whereas the finite element method is well established today, the boundary element method is a fairly recent development. Both are general-purpose methods for the solution of various structural analysis problem. The B.E.M has several potential advantages relative to the F.E.M. One of them is that the number of unknowns in algebraic system obtained by discretization is proportional to the number of boundary nodes. Anothor advantage is the ease of discretization and input data preparation. However, the B.E.M. always leads to a fully populated and unsymmetric system of equations. Even though the number of degree-of-freedom is reduced as compared with F.E.M, since nodes exist on the boundary only in the B.E.M, to follow that the effort to solve the equations can be greater. It has been shown also that the time spent in setting up the coefficient matrix is a significant and can, in some cases, be greater than the time required to solve the equation. Thus, one can naturally consider the idea that two methods should be coupled, then the advantages of both methods can be taken. And further, by using this coupling method the HATCH CORNER was analyzed to give initial design data.
