In general, materials that can be used to form elastic pads, such as urethane and rubber, are often used in flexible forming processes by inserting the pads between a blank and flexible die for smoothing the forming surface that is formed by a reconfigurable die. In this study, the effects of the elastic pad on formability in the flexible forming process for sheet metals are investigated by performing numerical simulations. In the simulation, the hyperelastic material model is used, where the urethane elastic pads serve as elastic cushions. Case studies are carried out for elastic materials with different hardness values and thicknesses. The results are used to evaluate formability by comparing the configuration of the deformed blank and its major cross-sectional profiles. It is verified that the elastic pad used in the flexible forming process for sheet materials should be hard and that its thickness should be chosen appropriately.

An energy method has been used for an elastic formulation of bending vibration and buckling analysis of laminated composite plates on two-parameter elastic foundations. A quasi-elastic method is used for the solution of viscoelastic analysis of the laminated composite plates. The third-order shear deformation theory is applied by using the double-fourier series. To validate the derived equations the obtained displacements for simply supported orthotropic plates on elastic foundations are compared with those of LUSAS program Numerical results of the viscoelastic bending vibration and buckling analysis are presented to show the effects of layup sequence number of layers material anisotropy and shear modulus of foundations.

The purpose of this study is to derive the damage weak part of the elastic rail fastening system for concrete tracks (System 300-1). In the concrete tracks, the elastic rail fastening system sticks the rail and the sleeper and reacts all the time when the train is running. Among the components of the rail fastening system, the resilience pad and tension clamp were fatigue members and were constantly deformed in response to compressive and uplift forces. In this study, the residual deformation characteristics of the tension clamp according to the period of use were analyzed using by specimens taken on site in the same section for 6, 11, and 16 years on the serviced urban transit. In addition, the damage mechanisms for each component were derived based on finite element analysis. As a result of the numerical analysis, the stress (strain) of each part of the tension clamp according to the external force from the applied clamping force was analyzed to derive the damaged weak part of the tension clamp.

Calculation of elastic wave fields has important applications in a variety of engineering fields including NDE (Non-destructive evaluation). Scattering problems have been investigated by numerous authors with different solution schemes. For simple geometries of the scatterers (e.g., cylinders or spheres), the analysis of steady-state elastic wave scattering has been carried out using analytical techniques. For arbitrary geometries and multiple inclusions, numerical methods have been developed. Special finite element methods, e.g., the infinite element method and a hybrid method called the Global-Local finite element method have also been developed for this purpose. Recently, the boundary integral equation method has been used successfully to solve scattering problems. In this paper, a volume integral equation method (VIEM) is proposed as a new numerical solution scheme for the solution of general elasto-dynamic problems in unbounded solids containing multiple inclusions and voids or cracks. A boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is also presented for elastic wave scattering problems. The relative advantage of the volume and boundary integral equation methods for solving scattering problems is discussed.

Ultrasonic testing of composite materials is much more difficult than that of isotropic materials, because of the beam skew phenomenon caused by their elastic anisotropy. An established analytical method exists for elastic wave propagation in anisotropic media as a result of previous research efforts. Yet, due to the complexity of the analytical method, solution of real problems must resort to the numerical method. In this work, analytical solutions have first been obtained for the wavefield due to a point source in a unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite, which may be modeled as transversely isotropic. Then, the corresponding numerical solutions have been obtained using the mass-spring lattice model(MSLM). The two solutions have agreed well with each other. Other problems such as reflection from free boundaries and scattering from cracks have also been solved numerically, and the results have been investigated from the viewpoint of wave mechanics. The numerical model whose validity has been confirmed by this work will be of great use in simulating ultrasonic testing of composite materials.

판(leaf)의 너비가 일정하고 두께가 균일하게 감소하는 두께감소 홀다운스프링집합체(Tapered-Thickness Holddown spring Assembly ; TT-HDS)에서 단순 보 이론과 Castigliano의 정리를 이용하여 TT-HDS의 탄성강성도를 해석적으로 구할 수 있도록 종래에 유도되었던 탄성강성도 평가식을 수정하고 확장하였으며 TT-HDS의 기하학적 설계자료를 이용하여 탄성강성도를 평가하였다. 아울러 ANSYS code 의 접촉요소를 이용하여 TT-HDS을 유한요소 모델링하여 탄성강성도를 수치적으로 평가하였다. 평가 결과 전단력 및 축력이 TT-HDS의 탄성강성도에 미치는 영향은 약 0.09∼0.16%정도로서 TT-HDS의 탄성강성도는 주로 굽힘모우멘트에 의해 지배되고 있음이 확인되었다. 또한 접촉요소로 유한요소 모델링하여 평가한 결과는 확장된 평가식으로 평가한 탄성강성도와 매우 잘 일치하고 있음을 발견하였다.

This paper introduces a new explicit spectral element method for the simulation of SH-waves in semi-infinite domains. To simulate the wave motion in unbounded domains, it is necessary to reduce the infinite extent to a finite computational domain of interest. To prevent the wave reflection from the trunctated boundaries, perfectly matched layer(PML) wave-absorbing boundary is introduced. The forward problem for simulating SH-waves in PML-truncated domains can be formulated as second-order PDEs. The second-order semi-discrete form of the governing PDEs is constructed by using a mixed spectral elements with Legendre-gauss-Lobatto quadrature method, which results in a diagonalized mass matrix. Then the second-order semi-discrete form is transformed to a first-order, whose solutions are calculated by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Numerical examples showed that solutions of SH-wave in the two-dimensional analysis domain resulted in stable and accurate, and reflections from truncated boundaries could be reduced by using PML boundaries. Elastic wave propagation analysis using explicit time integration method may be apt for solving larger domain problems such as three-dimensional elastic wave problem more efficiently.
