모멘트법을 적용한 임의 형태 구조의 전자파 수치해석시 Rao에 의해 제시된 삼각형 표면 벡터 전개함수가 많이 사용된다. 이 경우 스칼라 적분식과 벡터 적분식이 나타나는데, 면적 좌표계가 도입되기 때문에 적분과정이 복잡해진다. 또한 구현시는 삼각형의 절점 정보 뿐만 아니라 쌍을 이루는 삼각형 번호의 데이터를 미리 입력하여야 하는 번거로움이 뒤따른다. 이를 극복하고자 본 논문에서는 삼각형 영역 자체에서 적분을 수행함으로써 적분식의 수를 2/3로 줄였으며, 삼각형의 쌍을 이루는 절점 정보로부터 적을 수행할 수 있도록 하였다.

We propose a modified 6-node element, where the sampling point of Gauss quadrature moved in the thickness direction. The modified 6-node element has been applied to static problems and forced motion analyses. In this study, this method is extended to the finite element analysis of the natural frequencies of two dimensional problems. We also propose a modified 16-node element for three dimensional problems, which behaves much like a 20-node element with smaller degree of freedom. The modified 6-node and 16-node elements have been applied to the modal analyses of beams and plates, respectively. The results agree well with the results of the 8-node or 20-node element models.

Meshless methods, developed in various ways over the past decade, have been attractive as new computational methods in that they do not need mesh generation in analyzing procedure. But most of these methods were not truly meshless methods because background meshes were required for the spatial integration of a weak form. Accordingly, in this paper, nodal integration for truly meshless methods has been studied, and an improvement scheme is proposed. To improve stabilization and accuracy, which are the weak points in previous nodal integration methods, the integration area is transformed to circle and then numerically integrated. This method does not need any adding term for stabilization in the variational formulation and then simplifies the integration procedure. Numerical test results show that the proposed method is more accurate, stable, and reasonable than the existed nodal integration methods.

In this study, a new 4-node general shell element with 6 DOFs per node is presented. Drilling rotational degrees of freedom are introduced by the variational principle with an independent rotation field. In formulation of the element, substitute transverse shear strain fields are used to avoid shear locking, while four nonconforming modes are applied in the in-plane displacement fields as a remedy for membrane locking. In addition, a direct modification method for nonconforming modes is employed in the numerical implementation of nonconforming modes to represent constant strain states. A 9-points integration rule is adopted for volume integration in the computation of the element stiffness matrix. With the combined use of these techniques, the developed shell element has no spurious zero energy modes, and can represent a constant strain state. Several numerical tests are carried out to evaluate the performance of the new element developed. The test results show that the behavior of the elements is satisfactory.

For the same configuration of two-dimensional finite element models, 6-node element exhibits stiffer bending stiffness than 8-node element. This is true in the relation between 16-node element and 20-node element for three-dimensional model. This stiffening phenomenon comes from the elimination of several mid nodes from full-node elements. Therefore, this may be called 'relative stiffness stiffening phenomenon'. It seems that there are a couple of ways to correct the stiffening effect, however, we could find only one effective method-the method of modification of Gauss sampling points-which passes the patch test and does not alter other kinds of stiffness, such as extensional stiffness. The quantity of modification is a function of Poisson's ratios of the constituent materials. We could obtain two modification equations, one for plane stress case and the other for plane strain case. This method can be extended to 3-dimensional solid elements. Except the exact plane strain cases, most 3-dimensional plates could be modeled successfully with 16-node element modified by the equation for the plane stress case. The effectiveness of the modification method is checked by applying it to several examples with excellent improvements. In numerical examples, beams with various boundary conditions are subjected to static and time-dependent loads. Free and forced motion analyses of beams and plates are also tested. The beam and plate may be composed of isotropic multilayers as well as a single layer.

In this study an adaptive node generation procedure in the Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method using bubble-meshing technique is Proposed. Since we construct the initial configuration of nodes by subdivision of background cell, abrupt changes of inter-nodal distance between higher and lower error regions are unavoidable. This unpreferable nodal spacing induces additional errors. To obtain the smooth nodal configuration the nodal configurations are regenerated by bubble-meshing technique. This bubble meshing technique was originally developed to generate a set of well-shaped triangles and tetrahedra. In odder to evaluate the effect of abrupt changes of nodal spacing, one-dimensional problems with various nodal configurations mere investigated. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the sequences of making optimal nodal configuration with bubble meshing technique are investigated for several problems.

The composite shell element is developed for the solution of undamped forced vibration problem of composite curved panels. The finite element used in the current study is an 4-node enhanced assumed shell element with six degrees of freedom per node. The composite shell element is free of both shear and membrane locking phenomenon by using the enhanced assumed strain(EAS) method. A modification to the first-order shear deformation shell theory is proposed, which results in parabolic thorough-thickness distribution of the transverse shear strains and stresses. It eliminates the need for shear correction factors in the first order theory. Newmark's direct integration technique is used for carrying out the integration of the equation motion, to obtain the repones history. Parametric studies of curved composite panels are carried out for forced vibration analysis by geometrical shapes and by laminated composite; such as fiber orientation, stacking sequence.

In this paper, a modified 10-node equivalent solid element(MQM10 element), which has smallest degrees of freedom among 3-dimensional solid elements accounting bending deformation as well as extensional and shear deformations of isotropic plates, is proposed. The proposed MQM10 element exhibits stiffer bending stiffness due to the reduction of degrees of freedom from 20-node element or Q11 element. As an effective way to correct the relative stiffness stiffening phenomenon, the modification equation of Gauss sampling points is proposed. The quantity of modification is a function of Poisson's ratio. The effectiveness of MQM10 element is tested by applying it to several examples. It is noted that the results of static and free vibration analysis of isotropic plates using MQM10 elements show a good agreement with those using 20-node element.

하천의 2차원 흐름 해석, 유사이동 해석, 오염확산 해석을 위한 유체의 수치해석법에는 유한요소법, 유한차분법, 유한차분법의 변형인 유한체적법, 경계적분법 등이 있다. 유체에 대한 수치해석 기법으로 전통적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 방법은 유한차분법이지만, 비구조적 요소망(unstructured mesh)을 이용하여 복잡한 형상을 표현하기가 상대적으로 용이한 유한요소법이 다양한 형태의 하천 해석에는 더욱 적합할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 비구조적 요소망을 advanced front method를 이용하여 생성해 보았다. Advanced front method는 해석하고자 하는 영역에 적절한 절점들을 생성한 후 삼각 요소망을 구성하는 grid based advanced front method와 절점들을 생성하지 않고 해석 영역에 삼각 요소를 바로 구성하는 element based advanced front method로 나눌 수 있다. Grid based advanced front method에서 해석 영역에 적절한 절점을 생성하는 방법으로는 일반적인 격자 구조의 절점 생성 방법을 적용하였으며 경계와의 거리가 가까운 절점은 생성되지 않으며, 삼각 요소를 구성할 때에는 두 개의 인접 절점을 비교하여 최적의 삼각 요소를 구성하게 된다. 단 두 개의 인접 절점만을 비교함으로서 비교적 빠른 시간 안에 최적의 삼각 요소망을 구성할 수 있다. 삼각 요소망을 생성한 후에는 Laplacian smoothing을 이용하여 삼각 요소망의 형질을 개선하였다. Element based advanced front method는 외부 경계에서부터 시작된 Front가 내부 영역으로 확대되어지며 각 Front에서 적절한 절점을 직접 생성하여 바로 삼각 요소를 구성하게 된다. Front에서 생성된 절점은 인접 절점들이 있는지 검색하여 인접 절점이 있다면 생성된 절점은 삭제되어지며 인접 절점이 삼각 요소를 위한 나머지 한 점으로 채택되어진다. Front는 외부 경계와 교차되어지지 않아야 하며 또한 연속된 Front를 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 list 자료 구조를 활용하였다.
