An efficient method was developed to determine the ultimate strength for the segment subjected to cross-sectional distortion. Cumulative data based on the finite element analysis were used to perform the multi-regression analysis. A moment-thrust-curvature relationship of short segment was obtained with mathematical forms in the nonlinear range. The extensive parametric study was performed to generate the ultimate strength for the various segments. The result was compared with the experimental result which was not included in the database. The proposed method gives an essential tool for the nonlinear analysis of beam-column.

본 연구에서는 공중용 초음파 센서에 많이 사용되고 있는 원판형 압전소자, 정합층, 그리고 후면충, 세 부분으로 이루어진 다층 접합체의 진동 특성을 기계적 진동 방정식을 이용하여 이론적으로 해석하였으며, 해석결과의 타당성을 유한요소 해석방법을 사용하여 검증하였다. 본 연구의 해석 방법은 다층 판, 특히 압전세라믹과 정합층으로 이루어진 2층과 후면층이 추가된 3층에 대한 진동 방정식에 적절한 경계 조건 및 수렴조건을 적용하여 고유진동 주파수를 유도하였다. 그리고 이를 이용하여 초음파 탐측자 개발 시 널리 사용되고 있는 설계변수 즉, 각 층의 반경, 두께, 밀도, 그리고 영률의 변화에 대한 공진주파수의 변화 경향을 분석하였다. 공진주파수 변화 경향에 대한 이 해석 방법의 타당성을 널리 사용되고 있는 유한 요소해석법을 사용하여 검증한 결과, 두 해석결과는 좋은 일치를 보였다. 그러므로 본 연구의 결과는 종래의 등가회로나 유한요소 해석법에 비해 더 간편하고, 더 정확한 해석결과를 제공할 수 있는 해석도구로써 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper predicted deformation due to thermal residual stress in composites using finite element analysis. Temperature cycle, Model shape, Laminate angle, Stacking sequence, chemical shrinkage of resin, and thermal expansion are affect composite deformation.

Capactive miro pressure sensor is simulated with finite element methods to analyze the effect of geometrical variation on its performace. Sensor material is th silicon single crystal. The sensor consists of a disk type diaphragm and several bridges connected to a rigid frame. Structural variables in consideration are the thickness of the diaphragm and the bridges, radius of the circular plate, and the number of bridges. Results of static, dynamic and sensitivity analyses reveal the best structure of the sensor among the fifteen cases under investigation.

In this paper, described is a research on the modal analysis of small DC motor by finite element method fer the vibration reduction. An impact test is performed to obtain the natural frequencies and modal shapes of DC motor, which valuate the usefulness of the finite element analysis model. From the study, we show that this finite element analysis model can be applicable for designing a new motor with improvement in vibration characteristics. As an example, a shape modification of DC motor is performed and its vibration characteristics is discussed in comparison with those of original shape.

The objective of this paper is the establishment of finite element analysis frame work for pavement research. Finite element analysis results simulating various loading experiments are verified with sensor measurements obtained from the KHC Test Road. The accuracy of the finite element analysis can be supported by these efforts so that it helps spread out the finite element analysis to pavement research and design processes. The finite element model used in this research is the full 3D nonlinear model including concrete slab, lean concrete base, subbase, shoulder, dowel, and tie-bar. In order to accomplish the accurate verification, the loading condition and the pavement temperature distribution are exactly simulated with field measured data. The curling behavior and the strain distribution are compared with measured responses from the loading tests with a truck and the FWD. Strain and curling predictions from the concrete slab are matched well with measured responses but the strain prediction from the lean concrete base is not matched with measured response. In addition, the magnitude of permanent curling is evaluated with the finite element analysis.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the stress distributions and the displacements of obturator for edentulous maxillectomy patients and to compare them with those of complete denture using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and methods: Based on the CT image of edentulous patient, three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxillae was constructed. Three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxillae with palatal defect was also fabricated. On each model, complete denture and obturator prosthesis were created. Vertical static force of 200 N was applied on the left maxillary premolar and molar region. The von Mises stress values and the displacements of models were analyzed using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Results: Maximum von Mises stress values were recorded in the cortical bones of both models. The von Mises stress value in the complete denture model was 2.73 MPa and 2.69 MPa in the obturator model. High von Mises stress values were also observed on the tissue surface of prosthesis. The maximum value of the displacement in the obturator was higher than that of complete denture. Conclusion: The obturator showed a worse result in terms of stress distribution and displacement than complete denture. In the prosthodontic rehabilitation of edentulous maxillectomy patient accurate impression procedure based on patients'anatomy and application of prosthodontic principle should be considered.

The purpose of this study is to develop the basic algorithm for the finite element method modeling of individual malocclusions. Usually, a great deal of time is spent in preprocessing. To reduce the time required, we developed a standardized procedure for measuring the position of each tooth and a program to automatically preprocess. The following procedures were carried to complete this study. 1. Twenty-eight teeth morphologies were constructed three-dimensionally for the finite element analysis and saved as separate files. 2. Standard brackets were attached so that the FA points coincide with the center of the brackets. 3. The study model of a patient was made. 4. Using the study model, the crown inclination, angulation, and the vertical distance from the tip of a tooth was measured by using specially designed tools. 5. The arch form was determined from a picture of the model with an image processing technique. 6. The measured data were input as a rotational matrix. 7. The program provides an output file containing the necessary information about the three-dimensional position of teeth, which is applicable to several finite element programs commonly used. The program for a basic algorithm was made with Turbo-C and the subsequent outfile was applied to ANSYS. This standardized model measuring procedure and the program reduce the time required, especially for preprocessing and can be applied to other malocclusions easily.

The objective of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of the composite slabs with the new-shaped deckplate. In order to examine the deckplate as structural members, the composite slabs with new-shaped deckplate are compared and verified with the international design codes, and the simple inertia-moment equation of the composite slabs is suggested from the regression analysis of the results of the experiments. Besides, the finite element analysis was added on the purpose of the observation of structural behavior of the section items such as the Locking rib and the Dovetail. 36 experiments of composite slabs were performed with two new-type deckplates. And the finite-element analysis was performed by ABAQUS package with the function of the 3-dimension solid modeling.

Composite materials have been used in aerospace industry and many applications because of many advantages such as specific strength and stiffness and corrosion resistance etc. However, it is vulnerable to impacts, these impact lead to formation of cracks in composite laminate and failure of structures. In this paper, we analyzed Mode I fracture toughness of Carbon/Epoxy laminates using acoustic emission signal. DCB test was carried out to analyze Mode I failure characterization of Carbon/Epoxy laminates, and AE sensor was attached to measure AE signal induced by failure of specimen. Fracture toughness was calculated using cumulative AE energy and measured crack length using camera. The calculated fracture toughness was applied in FE model and the result of FE analysis compared with DCB test results. The results show good agreement with between FEM and DCB test results.
