Depending upon the combination of tolerances specified in the standards on bolt, nut and washer for high tension bolt sets, there arises center-to-center deviation between bolt and washer. This deviation nay cause loss of effective contact area between nut- and washer-faces, which leads to some dispersion of the torque coefficient K. By adapting circular arc surface instead of flat surface for the nut, it is shown through numerical analyses that the dispersion of the torque coefficient can be minimized. In this way, optimum radius of curvature of the nut bearing surface is proposed.

new domain/boundary decomposition method is suggested to perform efficient finite element analyses of contact problems. A penalty method is used for connecting an interface or contact interfaces with neighboring subdomains that satisfy continuity conditions. As a result, the derived effective stiffness matrices are always positive definite, and computational efficiency can be improved to a considerable degree. Moreover, any complex-shaped domain can be divided into independently modeled subdomains without considering the conformity of meshes along the interface. Using a computer code based on the present method, these advantageous features are confirmed through a set of numerical examples.

A domain/boundary decomposition method is applied for efficient analyses of thermo-elasto-viscoplastic damage and contact problems under the assumption of infinitesimal deformation. For the decomposition of a whole domain and contact boundaries, all the equality constraints on the interface and contact interfaces are restated with simple penalty functional. Therefore, the non-linearity of the problem is localized within finite element matrices in a few subdomains and on contact interfaces. By setting up suitable solution algorithms, the computational efficiency can be improved considerably. The general tendency of the computational efficiency is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

The shear behavior at the particle/surface interface such as rock joint can determine the mechanical behavior of whole structure. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms governing its behavior and accurately estimation of the interface strength is essential. In this paper, PFC, a numerical analysis program of discrete element method was used to investigate the effects of the surface roughness on interface strength. The surface roughness was characterized by smooth, intermediate, and rough surface, respectively. In order to investigate the effects of particle shape and crushing on particle/surface interface behavior, one ball, clump, and cluster models were created and their results were compared. The shape of particle was characterized by circle, triangle, square, and rectangle, respectively. The results showed that as the surface roughness increases, interface strength and friction angle increase and the void ratio increases. The one ball model with smooth surface shows lower interface strength and friction angle than the clump model with irregular surface. In addition, a cluster model has less interface strength and friction angle than the clump model. The failure envelope of the cluster model shows non-linear characteristic. From these findings, it is verified that the surface roughness and particle shape effect on the particle/surface interface shear behavior.

It is known that among many factors, relative micromotion at bone/implant interfaces can hinder bone ingrowth into surface pores of an implant. Loading conditions, mechanical properties of spinal materials, friction coefficients at the interfaces and geometry of spinal segments would affect the relative micromotion and spinal stability. A finite clement model of the human lumbar spine segments (L4-L5) was constructed to investigate the mechanical sensitivity at the interfaces between bone and cage. Relative micromotion. Posterior axial displacement. bone stress, cage stress and friction force were predicted in changes of friction coefficients, loading conditions. bone density and age-related material/geometric properties of the spinal segments. Relative micromotion (slip distance in a static loading means relative micromotion in routine activity) at the interfaces increased significantly as the mechanical properties of cancellous bone, annulus fibers or/and ligaments decrease or/and as the friction coefficient at the interfaces decreases. The contact normal force at the interfaces decreased as cancellous bone density decreases or/and as the friction coefficient increases A significant increase of slip distance at anterior annulus occurred with an addition of torsion to compressive preload. Relative micromotion decreased with an increase of disc area. In conclusion. relative micromotion, stress response. Posterior axial displacement and contact normal force are sensitive to the friction coefficient of the interfaces, bone density, loading conditions and age-related geometric/material changes.

불연속변형해석(DDA)은 유한요소법(FEM)과 개별요소법(DEM)의 장점을 모두 가지고 있는 해석법이다. 3차원 불연속변형해석의 안정성과 해석속도는 접촉찾기(Contact Detection) 알고리즘과 벌칙스프링(Penalty spring)을 이용한 접촉처리 알고리즘에 의해 크게 좌우되는데, 블록의 꼭지점(vertex) 간의 접촉이 발생할 경우, 적합한 접촉면을 결정하는 과정에서 많은 해석오류와 시간적 손실이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 블록의 꼭지점에 내접하는 구(inscribed sphere)를 삽입하여 가상의 접촉점과 접촉면을 생성하는 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 해석의 오차의 크기를 확인하고, 간단한 불연속 변형해석의 해석 실례에 적용해 보았다.

전도 열전달 분야에서 두 물체가 접해 있는 경우, 접촉 열저항은 고려해야 할 중요한 요소이다. 특히 최근에는 전자부품의 과열방지를 위한 열 소산과 관련하여 접촉 열저항 문제는 중요하게 대두되고 있으며 이에 관련한 많은 이론적 연구와 응용연구가 수행되고 있다. 접촉 열저항은 주로 거친 두 물체표면의 불완전접촉에 기인한다. 본 연구에서는, 접촉하는 두 물체사이의 접촉면을 이상화시킨 비교적 간단한 문제를 이론적으로 해석함으로써 접촉면의 틈새 형상 및 비접촉면적비(비접촉면적/외관접촉면적)의 크기에 따른 접촉 열저항의 크기를 구하였다.

본 연구에서는 윤활유막의 접촉압력 거동문제를 다른 각도에서 유한요소기법으로 해석하고자 한다. 즉, 혼합기가 폭발하게 되면 피스톤과 실린더 사이의 윤활유막이 순간적으로 초고압을 받아서 윤활유막은 밀폐된 공간에서 마치 폴리머처럼 거동할 것이라고 가정할 수 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 극히 짧은 시간에 국부적으로 일어날 것으로 예상되며, 이러한 작동조건에서 피스톤 링의 접촉면 형상에 따른 피스톤 압축링-윤활유막 사이의 접촉압력 거동문제를 미시적일 측면에서 유한요소기법으로 피스톤의 동적문제를 해석하고자 한다.
