In this paper, a simple improved 8-node finite element for the finite element analysis of fibrous composite plates is presented by using the direct modification. We drive explicit expressions of shape functions for the 8-node element with bilinear element geometry, which is modified so that it can represent any quadratic fields in Cartesian coordinates. The refined first-order shear deformation theory is proposed, which results in parabolic through-thickness distribution of the transverse shear strains and stresses from the formulation based on the third-order shear deformation theory. It eliminates the need for shear correction factors in the first-order theory. This finite element is further improved by combined use of assumed strain, modified shape function, and refined first-order theory. To show the effectiveness of our simple modification on the 8-node finite elements, numerical studies are carried out the static, buckling and free vibration analysis of fibrous composite plates.

Studies on brake system recently are focused on braking performance, especially the consideration on safety of braking system in an extreme situation and reduction of vibration and noise during braking operation. The thermal crack and Judder from the friction between brake disc and pad can bring the threaten of passengers' safety in the end. Braking force comes from the change of kinetic energy to friction energy. Since heat energy is developed from here, the analysis on thermal stress and thermal strain can be the good data when selecting the material of brake pad and designing heat radiation holes on the disc and it will also be the data when designing the thickness of the disc. This paper is intended to show a creative design method by suggesting the thermal analysis data through FEM study and using shape design parameters.

Purpose: Pipes are widely used as applied devices in many industrial fields such as machinery, electronics, electricity, and plants, and are also widely used in safety-related fields such as firefighting and chemistry. With the diversification of products, the importance of technology in the piping field is also increasing. In particular, when changing the existing copper pipe to stainless steel, it is necessary to evaluate safety and flow characteristics through structural analysis or flow analysis. Method: This study investigated the safety by flow analysis of the 6.35 inch socket model, which are integrated insert type connectors developed by a company, using CFD analysis technique. For CDF analysis, RAN model and LES model are used. Result: As results of the analysis, amplitude of the pressure fluctuation acting on the wall of the piping system is formed at a level of 3,780 Pa or less, which is a very small level of pressure compared with the operating pressure or design stress of the refrigerant piping. Conclusion: These results mean that the effect of vibration caused by turbulence on the structural safety of the pipe is negligible.

토목 구조물에서 수문 (Gate)은 다양한 시설에서 설계되어 적용되고 있다. 이런 수문은 용도나규모, 사용재료, 구동방식에 의해 다양하게 분류되는데, 본 글에서 다룰 Girder 타입의 Sluice Gate 는 가장 많은 분야에서 포괄적으로 적용되는 수문 형식중 하나이다. 일반적으로 2m×2m 미만의 소규모 수문에서는 수문설계에 수리계산이나 응력검토를 요하지 않으나, 높이 5m 가 넘는 대형 수문의 경우 비체의 무게가 수십톤에 달하기 때문에 정수역학이나 동수역학과 같은 수리학적 설계가 반드시 필요하다. 수문설계는 크게 세 가지 해석을 다루는데, 첫 번째는 정수역학 또는 동수역학적 거동에 대한 수문 비체의 구조해석이고 두 번째는 수문의 상승 및 하강을 위한 권양장치 및 수문비체, 구동장치 등의 계산이며 마지막으로는 수문의 형상과 수류형상에 따른 수문의 진동해석 이다. 본 글에서는 두 번째에 해당하는 수문의 상승 및 하강에 영향을 미치는 수리학적 요소들을 통해 가장 합리적인 수문형상설계에 대해 논하고자 한다. 특히 국내에서는 Girder 타입의 수문설계에서 수문하단부 sill 부근의 형상을 쐐기 형태로 일률적으로 적용하고 있는데, 이를 개선하여 유체역학적으로나 경제적으로 보다 유리한 설계안을 본 글을 통해 제안하고자 한다.

As an emerging materials in construction fields, FRP(fiber reinforced polymer) has been used in many area of civil engineering for its light weight and high strength. In this study we chose the 2nd Jindo-Bridge as a prototype, and evaluate effect of replacing steel components to FRP components through simplified 3D linear analysis. Static and modal analysis are done and the analysis results are compared with steel case analysis. From the static analysis results, the maximum stress of each component and maximum displacement of middle span are compared. Due to the reduction of deadload, the FRP structure causes less deflection than the original steel structure and from the reduced section (cable) analysis we confirmed the previous result. The occurrence wind velocity of flutter is compared by the frequency ratio.

The present study applied the external post tensioning reinforcement method for reinforcing a non-ballast steel plate girder railway bridge, and the effects of the strength of tendons and the level of post-tensioning force on the dynamic behavior are experimented and analyzed. According to the results of this study, the natural frequency was increased by the strength of tendons but it was decreased by the rise of post-tensioning force and as a consequence the introduction of post-tensioning force decreased natural frequency slightly. It was analyzed that further study is need to establish the exact relations between post-tensioning force and natural frequency. In addition, it was found that the dynamic displacement, dynamic bending stress and vertical acceleration were decreased by the external post-tensioning. On the other hand, external post-tensioning increased horizontal acceleration by up to 20%, which was around 70% of vertical acceleration. This needs further study.

For the design of structural systems having the prescribed or optimum dynamic characteristics, some design changes of the initially designed system are required. In these cases, if the sensitivity analysis which can predict the changes of dynamic characteristics due to the changes of design variables is applied, the design changes can be carried out rationally and very efficiently. For many structural systems, it is well known that the analysis by the transfer matrix method(TMM) and the combined finite element-transfer matrix method(FETMM) is more efficient than the analysis by the finite element method. However, most known studies on the sensitivity analysis of structural systems premise using the finite element method. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis methods by the TMM and the FETMM are presented and some numerical investigations on the beam-column with elastically restrained ends and intermediate contraints and the stiffened plate having subsystems are carried out. The results of the numerical examples show good accuracy and computational efficiency of the presented methods, and show that the application of sensitivity analysis in the dynamic characteristic reanalysis give good results within the practically changeable range of design variables.

Most widened bridges have been constructed by the joining-construction method that makes new and existing bridges structurally a single structure. Since the joining-construction method has several problems in design and construction viewpoint, this study is conducted in order to investigate the structural behaviors of RC slabs, which are widened and influenced by traffic-induced vibration of existing bridge during placing and curing of new concrete, with the prototype flexural strength test and FEM analysis. It was found that cracks are generated in construction joint at low applied load and that stress concentration at the joints and slips between steel bar and concrete are occured. But, the decreasing of load carrying capacity is negligible according to the traffic-induced vibration as well as the difference of construction method.

Electronic equipment has been applied to virtually every area associated with commercial, industrial, and military applications. Specifically, electronics have been incorporated into avionics components installed in aircraft. This equipment is exposed to dynamic loads such as vibration, shock, and acceleration. Especially, avionics components installed in a helicopter are subjected to simultaneous sine and random base excitations. These are denoted as sine on random vibrations according to MIL-STD-810F, Method 514.5. In the past, isolators have been applied to avionics components to reduce vibration and shock. However, an isolator applied to an avionics component installed in a helicopter can amplify the vibration magnitude, and damage the chassis, circuit card assembly, and the isolator itself via resonance at low-frequency sinusoidal vibrations. The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of an avionics component installed in a helicopter and the structural dynamic modification of its tray plate without an isolator using both a finite element analysis and experiments. The structure is optimized by dynamic loads that are selected by comparing the vibration, shock, and acceleration loads using vibration and shock response spectra. A finite element model(FEM) was constructed using a simplified geometry and valid element types that reflect the dynamic characteristics. The FEM was verified by an experimental modal analysis. Design parameters were extracted and selected to modify the structural dynamics using topology optimization, and design of experiments(DOE). A prototype of a modified model was constructed and its feasibility was evaluated using an FEM and a performance test.
