An upper bound solution is obtained to perform the process analysis of hot strip rolling process. The material flows within the roll bite at various geometries and frictional conditions are obtained from finite element analysis and the typical flow pattern which is necessary to determine the kinematically admissible velocity field is assumed. From the kinematically admissible velocity field, the upper bound energy is calculated and the rolling load, angle of neutral point and forward slip ratio at various operational conditions are obtained from upper bound energy. The process analysis of above mentioned parameters at various operational conditions have provided valuable information which is hard to obtain during rolling operation and the predicted ranges of quantitive values from these analyses lie whthin the bound of actual operational data.

Subduction has been the focal point of numerical studies for decades because it plays an important role in the Earth's mass and energy circulations and generates earthquakes and arc volcanoes which are closely related to the human lives. Among the studies on subduction, numerical modeling has been broadly applied to the quantitative studies on the subducting slab in the mantle which cannot be directly observed. In this study, we benchmark the numerical subduction modeling using a finite element package, COMSOL $Multiphysics^{(R)}$ and the results are consistent with the previously reported benchmark results.

The corrugated web is a plate that was manufactured with a corrugated shape. It is widely used in bridges, buildings, and culverts. A girder with a corrugated web can be crippled by local, in-plane compressive loads. Due to its high out-of-plane strength, however, a stiffener is usually not needed in trapezoidally corrugated plates, and the corrugated profile of the web can change the boundary condition of the edge load. Some researchers have studied the strength of the partial-edge loading of the trapezoidally corrugated web, but they have not considered the profile of corrugation in their studies. This paper investigates the influence of the corrugate profile. A parametric study was conducted on the shape parameter using the finite-element method. In this parametric study, the relationship between the corrugated shape and the partial-edge strength was also investigated by dividing the partial-edge strength into the web capacity and the flange capacity.

A general analysis method is proposed for analysis of the superposed structures with geometric and material nonlinearities. It is presumed that no friction occurs between structures. It utilizes a shell element for the geometric and material nonlinearities and imposes various deformation constraints for the contact and interaction between structures. To show the reliability and effectiveness of this method, superposed cantilevers for which exact solutions can be obtained and holddown spring assemblies which are now used in PWR reactors are chosen as analysis models. The results of analyses were compared with exact solution in the case of cantilevers and with test results in the case of holddown spring assemblies. The analysis results obtained by this method showed good agreement with the reference values.

For the finite deflection analysis of plates with initial deflections subjected to uniaxial compression, the formulation of incremental finite strip method is made and has been incorporated into a computer program. A new in plane displacement function varying along the load: direction has been derived from the out-of-plane displacement function by considering the curvature of a plate. Either incremental load type analysis or incremental displacement type analysis may be selected to solve incremental equibrium equations in the program. The following results have been obtained: 1. Incremental displacement type analysis is superior to incremental load type analysis in that the former converges more rapidly than the latter. 2. The finite strip method using the new displacement function gives as accurate results as analytical method and other finite element methods.

Recently, as the size of buildings structure becomes large increases, their mat area of building structure is supported or by an inhomogeneous foundation. This paper presents a vibration analysis on thick plates subjected to in-plane force is presented in this paper. The rectangular plate is isotropic, homogeneous, and composed of a linearly elastic material. A vibration analysis of the rectangular thick plate iwas done by useing ofarectangular finite element with 8 nodes and 9 nodes. In this study, the foundation was idealized as a Pasternak foundation model. A Pasternak foundation haves a shear layer on Winkler's model, which idealizes the foundation as a vertical spring. In order tTo analysze the vibration of a plate supported on by an inhomogeneous Pasternak foundation, the value of the Winkler foundation parameter of the central and border zones of the plate awere chosen as WFP1 and WFP2. (fFigure 4.). The Winkler foundation parameter of WFP1 and WFP2 is varied from 0 to 10, $10^2$, and $10^3$ and the shear foundation parameters is were 0, 5, and 10. The ratio of the in-plane force to the critical load iwas applied as 0.4 to 0.8

In this study, a new concept perforated breakwater is proposed, which is having resonant channels. In the channel, perforated plate is installed for dissipating wave energy induced by flow separations. The breakwater has two advantages compared with conventional perforated breakwater having wave chamber with slotted walls. One is easy to control the target wave condition for dissipating wave energy, and the other is having the high structural safety because the structural members are not exposed to impact waves, directly. To evaluate wave reflection characteristics of the proposed breakwater, numerical experiment was carried out by using Galerkin's finite element model based on the linear potential theory. The results indicated that considerable energy dissipation occurs near the resonant period of channel, and wave reflection characteristics are affected by channel shape, location and opening ratio.

The purpose of this study is to assess the condition of composites used in aircraft under varying temperature environment with ultrasound guided wave technique. Investigation of crucial influential factor on the composite health monitoring related to aircraft operational environments such as the number of thermal cycles and temperature deviation between ground level and flight altitude has been of a great concern for aircraft safety issue. In this study, ultrasonic guided wave health monitoring scheme is proposed to evaluate composite specimens damaged with the thermal fatigue simulating aircraft operational condition. Guided wave dispersion curves are used to select right modes which show a promising sensitivity to each different thermal fatigue damage level. The present approach can be also implemented as one of on-lines health monitoring tools for aircraft.

Dynamic instability of rotating disks is the most significant factor to limit its rotating speed. Application of composite materials to rotating disks may enhance the dynamic stability leading to a possible design of rotating disks with lightweight and high speed. Whereas much work has been done on the effect of transverse shear and rotary inertia, called Timoshenko effect, on the dynamic behavior of plates, there is little work on the correlation between the effect and the rotation of disk, especially nothing in case of composite disks. The dynamic equations of a rotating composite disk are formulated with the Timoshenko effect and the vibrational analysis is performed by using a commercial package MSC/NASTRAN. According to the results, the Timoshenko effect goes seesaw in some modes, unlike the well-known fact that the effect decreases as the rotating speed increases. And it can be concluded, based only on the present results, that decrement of the Timoshenko effect by disk rotation grows larger as the thickness ratio decreases, the diameter ratio increases, the modulus ratio increases, and the mode number increases.

Recently, the paradigm of the aircraft industry, not only domestically but also globally, has been changing significantly starting with the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With the convergence of new technologies such as ICT and AI, the drone market, centered around the military, is expanding its overall services to include the civilian market. Additionally, drones operate by being equipped with batteries, and for product lines that use batteries, lightening the product is one of the critical factors. This is because the lighter the aircraft, the less battery consumption and maximum efficiency. Therefore, recently, composite materials have been used to reduce the weight of the aircraft. To not only reduce weight but also achieve high functionality, it is being applied to most areas such as propellers, airframes, interior materials, floor plates, driving devices, and battery housings, and is emerging as a core technology. In this paper will utilize ceramic fiber composite materials, which have recently emerged for lightweight. It aims to improve noise and strength by targeting propellers, one of the most important factors in drones. In addition, the performance of the propeller developed through the low-noise design will be verified.
