The study is concerned with the analysis of axisymmetric hydroforming with controlled pressure by the rigid-plastic finite element method. The finite element method is employed to obtain the detailed information including the distribution of stresses and strains and geometry changes. Experiments are carried out for hydroforming of cold-rolled steel sheets with the developed CNC hydroforming press which is pressure-controlled according to the fluid pressure vs.-stroke relationship given by the upper bound. Four types of punches are used for the experiments. The computed results are in good agreements with the experimental observation in geometric change and thickness variation. The present analysis permits the prediction of stresses, strains, geometric changes. The effects of Lankford value and workhardening exponent on thickness strains in hydroforming are also discussed. It is thus shown that the present method can be applied to the effective design of axisymmetric hydrooforming processes.

The upper bound elemental technique (UBET) is used to simulate the bulk flow characteristics in axisymmetric closed die forging process. Internal flow inside the cavity is predicted using a kinematically admissible velocity field that minimizes the rate of energy consumption. Application of the technique includes an assessment of the formation of flash and of degree of filling in rib-web type cavity using billets with various aspect rations. The technique considering bulging effect is performed in an incremental manner. The results of simulation show how it can be used for the prediction of forging load, metal flow, and free surface profile. The experiments are carried out with plasticine. There are good agreements in forging load and material flow in cavity between the simulation and experiment. The developed program using UBET can be effectively applied to the various forging problems.

The axisymmetric methane-air counterflow flame in microgravity was simulated to investigate effects of the global strain rate on the flame structure. The flame shapes and profiles of temperature and the axial velocity for the mole fraction of methane in the methane-nitrogen fuel stream, Xm= 20, 50, $80\%$, and the global strain rate, ag= 20, 60, 90 $s^{-1}$ each mole fraction were compared. The profiles of the temperature and axial velocity of the axisymmetric simulations were in good agreement with those of OPPDIF, an one-dimensional flamelet code. It was confirmed that the flame is stretched more and the flame radius increases and the flame thickness decreases as the global strain rate increases.

A three-dimensional (3-D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies of thick, hyperboloidal shells of revolution. Unlike conventional shell theories, which are mathematically two-dimensional (2-D), the present method is based upon the 3-D dynamic equations of elasticity. Displacement components u/sub r/, u/sub θ/, u/sub z/ in the radial, circumferential, and axial directions, respectively, we taken to be sinusoidal in time, periodic in θ, and algebraic polynomials in the r and z directions. Potential(strain) and kinetic energies of the hyperboloidal shells are formulated, and the Ritz method is used to solve the eigenvalue problem, thus yielding upper bound values of the frequencies by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Convergence to four digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies of the hyperboloidal shells of revolution. Numerical results are tabulated for eighteen configurations of completely free hyperboloidal shells of revolution having two different shell thickness ratios, three variant axis ratios, and three types of shell height ratios. Poisson's ratio (ν) is fixed at 0.3. Comparisons we made among the frequencies for these hyperboloidal shells and ones which ate cylindrical or nearly cylindrical( small meridional curvature. ) The method is applicable to thin hyperboloidal shells, as well as thick and very thick ones.

본 논문에서는 지반-구조물 상호작용계의 강성에 관련된 물성값들을 지진계측결과를 바탕으로 효과적으로 추정할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였으며 제안된 방법의 검증은 국제공동 연구의 일환으로 최근 대만의 화련에 건설된 대형지진시험구조물에서 계측된 지진 응답을 사용하여 수행하였다. 지반-구조물 상호작용계의 지진응답해석을 위해서 구조물과 근역지반은 축대칭유한요소로 모형화하고 원역지반은 축대칭 무한요소를 사용하였으며 이때 입력 지진하중은 부구조법에 근거한 파입력기법이 고려되었다 지진계측결과를 사용하여 각 영역의 물성값을 제약적 최속강하법을 사용하여 추정하였는데 추정된 계수들을 사용하여 계산된 지진응답이 계측치와 매우 잘 일치하여 추정결과의 타당성을 검증할 수 있었다.

Based upon the results of numerical calculation, empirical scaling equations were made for supersonic under-expanded jets in both axisymmetric and two dimensional flows. The objective of the present study is to find a straightforward method that can predict the under-expanded supersonic jets issuing from various kinds of nozzles. The present empirical equations were agreed with the calculation results of total variation diminishing difference scheme. The supersonic under-expanded jets operating at a given pressure ratio could be well predicted by the present scaling equations.

For the extension of application in flash method measuring the thermophysical properties of materials, the heat diffusion equation with the heat transfer loss from front, rear, and circumferential surfaces of two layer cylinderical sample is mathematically analyzed by means of Green's function for axially symmetric pulse heating on the front of samples. The solutions are applied to determine the unknown thermal diffusivity of the two materials and analyzed the measurement error due to heat loss and finite pulse time effects.
