자유표면 유동을 수반하여 복잡한 구조를 지나는 유동문제를 수치모사할 수 있는 삼차원 유한요소법코드를 개발하였다. 정사각관을 대상으로 하는 삼차원 압출팽창 문제를 등온 뉴톤 유동뿐만아니라 비뉴톤유동 및 비등온 유동문제의 경우까지 다룰수 있도록 확장 하여 수치모사하였다. 삼차원 유한요소법 알고리듬에 pathline approach 방법과 사상방법을 적용시켜 등온 뉴톤 유체의 미동흐름에 대하여 압출 팽창문제를 푼 결과 팽창비가 대칭면에 서 최대 21.0%관의 모서리 부분에서 최소 4.1%로 나타났다 전단박화현상이 있는 비뉴톤 유 동의 경우 뉴톤유동에 비해 팽창이 작게 일어났고 비등온 유동의 경우 관벽온도가 낮은 쪽 이 높은 쪽에 비해 팽창이 크게 일어남을 알수 있었다.

An air spring which is a part of the suspension system of automobiles is used to reduce and absorb the vibration and the noise. Main components of the air spring are a cord reinforced rubber bellows, a canister and a piston. The performance of the air spring are depended on configurations of rubber bellows, the angle and elastic modulus of cord. The finite element analysis are executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and the stiffness. The design variables of air spring are determined to adjust the required specifications of the air spring. Several samples of the air spring are manufactured and experimented. It is shown that the results by finite element analysis are in close agreement with the test results.

A three dimensional finite element generation code has been developed attaching simple blocks. Block can be either a quadrature or a cube depending on the dimension of a subject considered. Finite element serendipity basis functions are employed to map elements between the computational domain and the physical domain. Elements can be generated with wser defined progressive ratio for each block. For blocks to be connected properly, a block should have a consistent numbering scheme for vertices, side nodes, edges and surfaces. In addition the edge information such as the number of elements and the progressive ratio for each direction should also be checked for interfaces to have unique node numbers. Having done so, user can add blocks with little worry about the orientation of blocks, Since the present the present code has been written by a Visual Basic language, it can be developed easily for a user interactive manner under a Windows environment.

The finite element method (FEM) has been used for various fields like mathematics and engineering. However, the FEM has a difficulty in describing the geometric shape exactly due to its property of piecewise linear discretization. Recently, however, a so-called isogeometric analysis method that uses the non-uniform rational B-spline(NURBS) basis function has been developed. The NURBS can be used to describe the geometry exactly and play a role of basis functions for the response analysis. Nevertheless, constructing the NURBS basis functions in analysis is as costly as a meshing process in the FEM. Since the isogeometric method shares geometric data with CAD, it is possible to intactly import the model data from commercial CAD tools. In this paper, we use the Rhinoceros 3D software to create CAD models and export in the form of STEP file. The information of knot vectors and control points in the NURBS is utilized in the isogeometric analysis. Through some numerical examples, the accuracy of isogeometric method is compared with that of FEM. Also, the efficiency of the isogeometric method that includes the CAD and CAE in a unified framework is verified.

We use the finite element method to analyze the seismic design of a liquid storage tank for a polar crane at a nuclear power plant. We obtained the natural frequency and vibration modes by modal analysis, and we evaluated the seismic stability by response spectrum analysis. Furthermore, the seismic analysis of the tank was accomplished by analyzing not only the forces applied to the wall by the sloshing of the liquid, but also the safe-shutdown earthquake condition for the tank. We propose a seismic-design process and a seismic-analysis method for liquid storage tanks based on the commercial finite element analysis program, ANSYS.

Stresses occur in the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister due to the impulsive forces incurred in the accidental drop and impact event from the transportation vehicle onto the ground during deposition in the repository. In this paper, the comparative study of finite element analysis for stresses occurring in various models of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister due to these impulsive forces is presented as one of design processes for the structural integrity of the canister. The main content of the study is about the design of the structurally safe canister through this comparative study. The impulsive forces applied to the canister subjected to the accidental drop and impact event from the transportation vehicle onto the ground in the repository are obtained using the commercial rigid body dynamic analysis computer code, RecurDyn. Stresses and deformations occurring due to these impulsive forces are obtained using the commercial finite element analysis computer code, NISA. The study for the structurally safe canister is carried out thru comparing and reviewing these values. The study results show that stresses become larger as the wall encompassing the spent nuclear fuel bundles inside the canister becomes thicker or as the diameter of the canister becomes larger. However, the impulsive force applied to the canister also becomes larger as the canister diameter becomes larger. Nonetheless, the deformation value per unit impulsive force decreases as the canister diameter increases. Therefore, conclusively the canister is structurally safe as the diameter increases.

A three-dimensional thoracic model was constructed using 8-node trilinear hexahedron elements. A three-dimensional steady-state finite element code was developed using FORTRAN. Its output consists of potential at each node. current In each element, and total current In each layer in the z-direction. The thoracic model was Implemented to calculate basal impedance(Zo) In Impedance CardiograPhy Generalized Laplace's equation was solved with Dirlchlet(constant potentials) and homogeneous Neumann(no flux) boundary conditions. It was found that the con structed thoracic model was reasonable since the calculated potential differences between the adjacent electrodes and basal impedance were about the same as the measured ones.

This paper summarizes the components of an explicit aeroelastic solver developed especially for the simulation of dynamic fracture events occurring during the flight of solid propellant rockets. The numerical method combines an explicit Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) version of the Cohesive Volumetric Finite Element (CVFE) scheme, used to simulate the spontaneous motion of one or more cracks propagating dynamically through a domain with regressing boundaries, and an explicit unstructured finite volume Euler code to follow the flow field during the failure event. A key feature of the algorithm is the ability to adaptively repair and expand the fluid mesh to handle the large geometrical changes associated with grain deformation and crack motion.
