In this study, we analyze the static and dynamic characteristics of a bulk-cement trailer with a simpler structure that carries powders. The commercial software ANSYS is used to prepare a detailed three-dimensional model of the chassis frame and tank body that bear most of the load of a bulk-cement trailer for the finite element analysis. Modal analysis is conducted to examine the dynamic characteristics of the trailer body, and static analysis shows weak links in the structure. Finally, we propose a method to increase the strength of vulnerable areas and to reduce the weight of the trailer by applying the Taguchi method.

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.

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.

Stents are frequently used throughout the human body. They keep pathways open in vascular or nonvascular duct for a long time. Therefore its stability is very important factor. In recent years, aconsiderable amount of research has been carried out in order to estimate mechanical properties of the stent such as expansion pressure behavior, radial recoil and longitudinal recoil using FEM (Finite element analyses). However, published works on simulation of stent fatigue behavior using FEM are relatively rare. In this paper, a nonlinear finite-element methodwas employed to analyses the compression of a stent using external pressure and fatigue behavior. Finite element analyses for the stent system were performed using NASTRAN FX. In conclusion this paper shows how the stent is behaved in the body, and its fatigue behavior.

Using isogeometric analysis(IGA) gives more accurate results for higher order mode in eigenvalue problem than using the finite element method(FEM). This is because the FEM has $C^0$ continuity between elements, whereas IGA guarantee $C^{P-1}$ between elements for p-th order basis functions. In this paper, a mode based reduced model is constructed by using IGA and dynamic behavior analysis is performed using this advantage. Craig-Bampton(CB) method is applied to construct the reduced model. Several numerical examples were performed to compare the eigenvalue analysis results for various order of element basis function by applying the IGA and FEM to simple rod analysis. We have confirmed that numerical error increases in the higher order mode as the continuity between elements decreases in the IGA by allowing internal knots multiplicity. The accuracy of the solution can be improved by using the IGA with high inter-element continuity when high-frequency external force acts on the reduced model for dynamic behavior analysis.

In this paper, a finite element based method far determining factor of safety of slopes which has certain advantages over conventional limit equilibrium methods is described. Particularly, the slope failure behaviour considering different seepage conditions is produced by finite element method using strength reduction technique. It is shown that both the failure mechanism and the safety factor that are analyzed by the FEM using strength reduction technique are an effective means of slope stability analysis. And the stability of a slope with rising water table and rapid drawdown are analyzed and the results are compared with the simplified Bishop Method of the Limit Equilibrium Methods.

In the numerical analysis of En (eddy current testing) using 3-dimensional FEM (finite element method), MVP (magnetic vector potential) and electric scalar potential are used as variables in conductor region. Three dimensional modeling makes number of unknowns increase, and the degree of freedom of variables also makes number of unknowns increase. Because of this reason, modified UP is used to reduce the number of unknowns. Gauge condition is enforced artificially on existing FEM formulations to insure the uniqueness of MVP. So in this paper the effects of these FEM formulation procedures on ECT are investigated and the appropriate FEM formulation is suggested for accurate ECT simulation.

Two types of one-dimensional dispersion-correction scheme are developed to take into account the dispersion effects for the simulation of tsunami propagation using ADCIRC finite element model based on shallow-water equations The first is an implicit scheme, and the dispersion-correction is accomplished by controlling the weighting factor assigned to each spatial derivative term of different time levels. The other scheme is explicit and the dispersion is considered by adjusting the element size. The validity of the dispersion-correction scheme proposed in this study is confirmed through the comparison of numerical solutions calculated using the new schemes with analytical ones considering dispersion effect of waves.
