Recent attempt to enhance the safety against collision reshaped the simple shell structures into the integrated complex shell structures. Moreover, due to various regulations continuously tightened for environment protection, weight reduction of automobiles becomes an increasingly important issue. Auto parts lightening is mainly accomplished by more reasonable design, adoption of lighter materials and miniaturization of the auto bodies. Focusing on the locally enhanced design approach among the above three ways, we here attempt to develop a patching optimization method, and also to determine the thicknesses of an integrated shell structure, both bringing a specified amount of stress relaxation. We first select a cross member as a patching optimization model. Based on the finite element stress calculations, we relieve the stress of cross member by patching in two ways-nonuniform thickness patching and optimized uniform thickness patching, the latter of which is more effective in a practical point of view for the preset amount of stress relaxation. Selecting a box type subframe as another finite element analysis model, we then determine the thickness of each part by axiomatic design approach for a preset amount of stress relaxation. The patching methodology and the axiomatic approach adopted in this work can be applied to the other complex shell structures such as center member and lower control arm.

In this paper, structural analysis is performed to investigate the deformation of porous media in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Structural deformation of air plate of the fuel cell causes the change in configuration and cross sectional area of the channel. The distributions of mass flow rate and pressure are major factors to decide the performance of a PEMFC. These factors are affected by channel configuration of air plate. Two kinds of numerical air plate models are suggested for flow analyses. Deformed porous media and undeformed porous media are considered for the two models. The Numerical flow analysis results between deformed porous media and undeformed porous media have some discrepancy in pressure distribution. The pressure and velocity distribution under a working condition are numerically calculated to predict the performance of the air plates. Pressure and velocity distributions are compared for two models. It is shown that structural deformation makes difference in flow analysis results.

There has been considerable interest over the last twenty years in the subject of the elastic properties of the cord-rubber laminate. This has been due to the rather intensive study of the composites materials characteristics brought about by the increased use of rigid composites materials characteristics brought about by the increased use of rigid composites in many structural applications. The object of this study is to obtain the natural frequencies and modes of the simply supported cord-rubber laminate plates prior to the study on the analysis of the dynamic properties of the pneumatic tire. To obtain these natural frequencies and modes, the 12 degrees of freedom orthotropic rectangular plate finite elements are developed. By using classical lamination theory, the stress-strain relations are represented. The governing equation for the finite element is derived by energy method. To find the natural frequencies and modes, he eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors are computed by the well known Jacobi power method. In order to verify the capability of this present finite element, the results of the specially orthotropic plate and the angle-ply laminate plate are compared with the analytical solution. The analytical and numberical results are in good agreement. The following problems of the simply supported plate are analyzed by the present finite element. a) the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cord-rubber laminate plate for various aspect ratio. b) The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the orthotropic plate with the rectangular hole in its center.

A new discrete method using idealized rigid body-spring model is introduced. This rigid element method is known to be more efficient and accurate than the finite element method in the inelastic range of structural analysis owing to simplified stress-strain and strain-displacement relations This kind of physical concept using idealized rigid model has been already applied among structural engineers to some problems such as rigid-plastic analysis or plastic design considering rigid bodies and plastic hinges. However the most rigorous and systematic research has been recently performed by T. Kawai et al.[1]. In this paper, an attempt is made to analyze the collapse behavior of stiffened plates under lateral loading by some modification and expansion of Kawai's rigid element approach to the collapse of plates without stiffener. Stiffened plates are treated as orthotropic plates which have equivalent bending rigidities. By employing Morley's plate element resubdivision technique, variety is given to mesh-division styles which have greate effect on the accuracy of numerical results. Some examples are shown to verify the validity of applying rigid element method to the ultimate strength analysis of stiffened plates. It is clarified that lateral deflections and detailed collapse patterns up to the ultimate state of stiffened plates can be easily obtained by the present approach.

A ship is composed of many grillage structures especially the deck which is consists of primary girders, transverse and longitudinal members. Several holes are arranged on these primary members for pipes, vents, etc. which cause stress concentration due to the discontinuity of the member. It is not easy to get the stress values around all these holes because of the huge amount of time necessary for computations. In this paper, a simple method to compute for the stress around the holes is suggested. This method is composed of two steps which are grillage analysis for primary members and detailed stress analysis using the results of the grillage analysis. This method is made for the design of the primary members with openings supporting the deck structure.

Assurance of the objectivity and reproducibility is a major key point in wrinkle measurement used for evaluating the degree of skin aging. The measurement of relief is quickly converted to a non-contact method, of which tools or instruments do not come in contact with skin directly, to minimize the artificial effects which influence the shape or depth of the relief. Here, we showed how wrinkle measurement techniques have been changed briefly and compared PRIMOS and replica method in the point of view of measurement principle and features, the former is non-contact fringe projection tool and the latter is contact type of the method.

A method of calculating the natural frequency corresponding to the first mode of vibration of beams and tower structures, with irregular cross-sections and with arbitrary boundary conditions was developed and reported by D. H. Kim in 1974. This method has been developed for two-dimensional problems including the laminated composite plates and was proved to be very effective for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions and irregular sections. In this paper, the result of application of this method to the building slabs with passive and active control devices is presented. Finite difference method is used to obtain the deflection influence surfaces needed for this vibration analysis in this paper. The influence of the modulus of the foundation on the natural frequency is thoroughly studied.

지진파 전파로 인한 매설관에 작용하는 지진하중은 지진특성 및 지반조건에 따른 지반변형률로부터 산정되어야 한다. 그러나. 기존에 사용되고 있는 경험적인 방법에 의해 계산된 지반변형률 모형은 지진 및 지반의 지역적 특수성을 고려할 수 없는 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 지진특성 및 지반조선을 반영할 수 있는 수정된 지반변형률 모형을 제안하고 개발된 모형을 매설관로의 지진해석에 지진하중으로 적용하였다. 여기서, 지반변형률을 예측하기 위한 지진판 전파속도는 지반조건을 고려할 수 있도록 파 에너지분포에 근거한 분산곡선을 제안하여 산정하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 얻어진 지반변형률 산정방법에 타당성을 파악하기 위해 예측한 지반변형률과 과거 지진으로 실측된 지반변형률을 비교하였다. 타당성이 입증된 지반변형률 모형을 매설관의 하중으로 적용하여 지진해석을 실시하였으며, 계산결과는 범용 유한요소해석을 통한 동해석 및 응답변위법에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. 이를 통해 지반 변형률 모형을 적용한 매설관 지진해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, 지진 및 지반환경이 다른 다양한 관의 특성을 반영하기 위해, 지진 지반 및 관의 영향 인자에 대해 매개변수 해석에 실시되었으며, 이로써 본 연구의 활용성을 검토하였다.

본 글에서는 속이 찬 실린더(solid cylinder)에서의 비대칭 탄성파전파 문제를 풀기 위한 해석적 방법의 일부를 소개하고자 한다. 속이찬 실린더에 있어서는 측면벽의 경계조건에 상관없이 평 판에서의 Fourier 시리즈와 유사한 단순해가 존재하지 않는다고 밝혀져 왔다(1). 그러나 최근 발표된 본인의 논문(2)에서 지적된 것처럼, 매우 특별한 측면 경계조건을 갖는 경우에만 정해가 존재한다. 특히 탄성파전파에 관한 한, 이러한 정해는 물리적으로 볼 때 팽창파(dilatational wave)와 전단파(shear wave)가 서로 얽히지 않는 상태에 해당되기 때문에, 소위 "비혼합 해(uncoupled solution)"라 불린다. 이 "비혼합해(uncoupled solution)"의 실제 사용 예를 들면, 상술된 바와 같이 일반적인 측면 경계조건을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더 문제를 풀기 위한 시도함 수(trial function)로 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 주지하는 바와 같이 자유측면벽(traction-free cylindrical wall)을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더는 공학적으로 매우 중요한 구조요소이다. 이 경우에는 측면벽의 경계조건으로 말미암아, 해가 정해의 형태로 존재하지 않는다. 특히 이 구조물에서의 탄성파전파 문제를 다루고자 할 때, 먼저 분산관계식(dispersion relation)을 구한 다음, 이를 이 용해 경계문제를 푸는 것이 상용적으로 사용되는 방법이다. 이 분산 관계식은 파장과 주파수 와의 관계를 나타내는 것으로, 그 복잡성으로 말미암아 이 식을 사용되는 수치해법으로 정확하게 구하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. 따라서, 본 글에서는 특별한 측면벽을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더의 비혼합해를 활용하여 자유측면벽을 갖는 속이 찬 실린더의 분산관계식(pochhammer의 분산관 계식이라 불린다)을 구하는 법을 설명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 비혼합해가 존재하는 측면경계조 건에 대해 먼저 살펴보고자 한다.조 건에 대해 먼저 살펴보고자 한다.

LED is standing in the limelight as a light part of the low-carbon green energy. While LEDs are eco-friendly, efficient and durable, extreme heat rises can cause their durability to decrease, with 80% of the power supply being turned into heat energy. Heat radiation systems are important because rising temperatures affect the lifetime of LED elements. Therefore, in this paper, thermal analysis was performed for the shape of heat sink to the LED bulb. Also, it is applied the temperature control systems to our products for optimal performance.
