A cylindrical composite lattice structure is manufactured by filament winding. The distribution of nonuniform fiber volume fraction induced by the manufacturing process can be observed. The stiffness and buckling characteristics can be influenced by non-uniform fiber volume fraction. In this paper, the effect of non-uniform fiber volume fraction through thickness direction on the torsional buckling load of the cylindrical composite lattice structure was examined. The stiffness variation induced by the non-uniform fiber volume fraction was applied to the finite element model, and buckling analysis was performed. The variations of buckling load with variations of fiber volume fraction were compared. The non-uniform fiber volume fraction reduced the torsional buckling load of the composite lattice structure.

This paper reports the steady-state stresses within the heat affected zone (HAZ) of a welded straight pipe subject to creep. The creep constants and exponent are varied systematically to see the effect of various mismatches in creep properties on the steady-state creep stresses, via detailed two-dimensional finite element (FE) creep analyses. The weldments consist of the base metal and weld metal with the HAZ, which are characterized using the idealized power creep laws with the same creep exponent. The internal pressure and axial loading are considered to see the effect of the loading mode. To quantify the creep stresses, a creep mismatch factor is introduced as a function of the creep constants and exponent. It is concluded that the ratio of the section-averaged stresses for a mismatched case to those for an evenmatched case are linearly dependent on the mismatch factor. The results are compared with the FE results, including the Type IV region, as well as the R5 procedure.

In this paper, in order to examine the effect of fiber volume fraction non-uniformity in thickness direction on the buckling load of cylindrical composite lattice structures, we modified the equation of buckling load of the cylindrical composite lattice structures proposed by Vasiliev. The thickness of each layer of the rib was varied by fiber volume fraction, and material properties were applied differently by using the rule of mixture. Also, we performed linear buckling analysis by varying the structure size, thickness, and average value of the fiber volume fraction of finite element model. Finally, by comparing the calculation results of the buckling load of the equivalent model using the modified buckling load equation and the results of the finite element analysis, we found that the fiber volume fraction non-uniformity in thickness direction can reduce the buckling load of the cylindrical composite lattice structure.

The effects of specimen geometry and loading conditions on the stress distribution in a sandwich specimen under combined loads are investigated by elastic finite element analysis. A commercial software NASTRAN is used in plain-strain two-dimensional finite element analysis of sandwich specimens; the analysis was performed for three different specimen shape factors and four different combined displacement conditions. The results of computational analysis suggest that the effect of the combined displacement angle, which is defined as the ratio of the shear displacement to the normal displacement, on the size of the non-homogeneous stress distribution is observed only in the case of the shear stress and von Mises stress. Also as the combined displacement angle increases, the size of the nonhomogeneous stress distribution decreases in the case of the shear stress and increases in the case of the von Mises stress. In addition, as the specimen shape factor, which is defined as the ratio of the specimen length to the height, increases, the size of the non-homogeneous stress distribution under combined displacement conditions decreases significantly.

There are fatigue fractures at the practical area. The fatigue load happens non- constantly. As it is impossible to be predicted, it can not be known when the fracture happens. Non -constant fatigue load is simulated in this study. The stability and the life of the material are analyzed theoretically by the program of Ansys workbench. These results are greatly applied as the practical structures to predict the prevention of failure and the endurance.

본 연구에서는 Heuer는 원추형 애자의 해석을 ANSYS프그램을 사용하여 시도하 였으나 시멘트와 자기간의 접촉문제를 다루지 않았고, Iwama와 Kito는 이에 대한 언급 이 없이 유한요소법에 의한 자기내부의 응력분포 결과와 실험식과를 개략적으로 비교 하였다. Fig. 1은 현수애자의 외관과 단면도이다. 철재의 핀(Pin)과 캡(cap), 자 기, 철재와 자기를 접착시키는 시멘트(cement), 접촉면의 불균일 상태를 보상시키는 역청(bituminous layer), 그리고 시멘트와 자기간의 사층(sand band)으로 구성되어 있 는 현수애자의 핀의 하단에서 송전선 무게의 하중이 가해지고 캡의 홈으로 다른 애자 가 연결되어 송전탑에 부착된다. 본 해석에서는 핀의 하단에 정적으로 사용하중이 가해진다고 가정하였다.

This paper derives numerically the buckling Knockdown factors using two different initial imperfection models, such as geometric and loading imperfection models, to investigate the unstiffened composite cylinder with an ellipse pre-buckling deformation pattern. Single Perturbation Load Approach (SPLA) is applied to represent the geometric initial imperfection of a thin-walled composite cylinder; while Single Boundary Perturbation Approach (SBPA) is used to represent the geometric and loading imperfections simultaneously. The buckling Knockdown factor derived using SPLA is higher than NASA's buckling design criteria by approximately 84%, and lower than buckling test result by 9%. The buckling Knockdown factor using SBPA is higher than NASA's buckling design criteria by about 75%, and 14% lower than the buckling test result. Therefore, it is shown that the buckling Knockdown factors derived in this study can provide a lightweight design compared to the previous buckling design criteria while they give reasonably a conservative design compared to the buckling test for both the initial imperfection models.

In this paper, the characteristics of fracture in mode I loading were analyzed for adhesively bonded joints with non-uniform adhesion. The Double Cantilever Beam test was performed and mode I fracture toughness was obtained. In the case of non-uniform adhesively bonded joints, the stable crack growth sections and unstable crack growth section were shown. The fracture characteristics of each section were observed through the load-displacement curve of the DCB test and the fracture surface of the specimen. Finite Element Analysis was performed at the section based on segmented section by crack length measured through the test and using the mode I fracture toughness of each section. Through DCB test results and finite element analysis results, it was confirmed that the fracture behavior of specimens with non-uniform adhesion can be simulated.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the thickness eccentricity on the collapse pressure of a subsea pipeline subjected to external pressure. The collapse behavior of the subsea pipeline containing initial imperfection was evaluated using elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analyses. API 5L X65 and API 5L X80 Pipelines with the thickness eccentricity values between 4~16% were adopted to investigate the plastic collapse under hydrostatic pressure. A parametric study was shown that the plastic collapse pressure decreased when either the thickness eccentricity or the ratio of diameter to thickness increased.
