This paper investigates the effect of 3-dimensional FE models to evaluation results of jointed concrete pavements which is back-calculated by AREA method. Sensitivity of 3-dimensional FE models developed to simulate the behavior of real jointed concrete pavement are analyzed after compared with 2-dimensional FE models using ILLISLAB. In comparison with 2-dimensional models, influence of concrete contraction under loading plate and base layer on surface deflections is more than that of loading configuration. Deflections at 3-dimensional model between linear and nonlinear temperature distribution under same temperature difference are similar, but noticeable differences are investigated in low elastic modulus of foundations. Dynamic deflections under loading plate are larger than static deflections in high elastic modulus of foundation, but smaller in low elastic modulus. Lower dynamic modulus of subgrade reactions are backcalculated by dynamic deflections than by static deflections. But reverse trend is investigated in the backcalculated elastic modulus of concrete which describes trends of the field backcalculation values calculated from AREA method.

In this paper, a finite element formulation was introduced for the three-dimensional cure simulation of composite structures. Based on the formulation, a three-dimensional finite element code was developed. Numerical examples found in the literatures were solved for code verification. Results from the present analyses agreed well with the measured cure-induced temperatures. Unlike in one or two dimensional analysis, temperature and degree of cure were able to be calculated at any point within composite structures in the present analysis. The finite element program can be used for the cure simulation of composite structures with arbitrary geometry under non-uniform autoclave temperature distribution.

최근 나노기술의 발달과 더불어 나노재료에 대한 특성평가 요구가 높아지고 있고, 따라서 나노스케일로 재료의 기계적 거동을 분석할 수 있는 나노인덴테이션 기법이 심도있게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 나노인덴테이션을 이용하여 여러 가지 재료의 탄성 소성 변형 거동을 관찰 조사하고 이를 다시 유한요소법(FEM)으로 모사하여 해석하였다. 나노인덴테이션으로 재료 표면에 압입하여 탄소성 변형을 일으켰으며 이때의 가하중과 변형깊이를 측정하여 하중-변형 곡선을 얻었다. 매우 작은 접촉응력 조건하에서는 탄성변형의 비율이 매우 높았는데 하중-변형 곡선으로부터 재료의 나노 경도와 탄성 계수값을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험적으로 얻은 하중-변형 곡선을 3 차원의 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 모사하였는데 상호간에 매우 근접한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 때 압자의 모양, 압입 깊이, 재료의 종류, 둥을 변수로 하여 여러 가지 조건하에서 압입실험을 하였으며 그 결과를 유한요소법으로 모사하였다.

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model based on the multi-pixel was constructed to accurately predict electric field distributions including an interference phenomenon between adjacent pixels in the liquid crystal of a complicated TFT-LCD panel. Utilizing the elaborate numerical model, the characteristics of spatial electric field distributions depending on various fault-electrode conditions are thoroughly examined on the basis of the field distribution of a normal electrode condition. The validity of the proposed model is proved by comparing the simulation results with those of the existing optical inspection equipments.

In the numerical analysis of En (eddy current testing) using 3-dimensional FEM (finite element method), MVP (magnetic vector potential) and electric scalar potential are used as variables in conductor region. Three dimensional modeling makes number of unknowns increase, and the degree of freedom of variables also makes number of unknowns increase. Because of this reason, modified UP is used to reduce the number of unknowns. Gauge condition is enforced artificially on existing FEM formulations to insure the uniqueness of MVP. So in this paper the effects of these FEM formulation procedures on ECT are investigated and the appropriate FEM formulation is suggested for accurate ECT simulation.

Flexible pavement responses to vehicular loading, such as critical stresses and strains, in each pavement layer, could be predicted by the multilayered elastic analysis. However, multilayered elastic theory suffers from major drawbacks including spatial dimension of a numerical model, material properties considered in the analysis, boundary conditions, and ill-presentation of tire-pavement contact shape and stresses. To overcome these shortcomings, three-dimensional finite element (3D FE) models are developed and numerical analyses are conducted to calculate pavement responses to moving load in this study. This paper introduces a methodology for an effective 3D FE to simulate flexible pavement structure. It also discusses the mesh development and boundary condition analysis. Sensitivity analyses of flexible pavement response to loading are conducted. The infinite boundary conditions and time-dependent history of calculated pavement responses are considered in the analysis. This study found that the outcome of 3D FE implicit dynamic analysis of flexible pavement that utilizes appropriate boundary conditions, continuous moving load, viscoelastic hot-mix asphalt model is comparable to field measurements.

본 연구는 등방탄성체에 고속충격하중이 작용하는 경우에 대한 유한요소해석에 관한 것으로 대상구조는 여러 가지 모양의 2차원 평면구조를 택하였다. Galerkin 방법을 이용하여 유한요소 정식화하였으며 직접시간적분법에 의해 수치해를 구하였다. 본 해석에서는 균열이 없는 평판으로 수치해와 이론해를 비교하여 수치해의 신뢰성을 확인하였으며, 0°, 30°, 45°경사 균열이 없는 평판에 적용한 3가지 예를 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과는 이론해의 결과와 상호 잘 일치하였다.

To prevent the occurrence of fractures in metal structures, it is very important to evaluate the 3D crack growth process in those structures and any related parts. In this study, tension tests and two simulations, namely, Simulation-I and Simulation-II, were performed using XFEM to evaluate crack growth in three dimensions. In the tension test, Mode I crack growth was observed for a notched metal specimen. In Simulation-I, a 3D reconstructed model of the specimen was created using CT images of the specimen. Using this model, an FE model was constructed, and crack growth was simulated using XFEM. In Simulation-II, an ideal notch FE model of the same geometric size as the actual specimen was created and then used for simulation. Obtained crack growth simulation results were then compared. Crack growth in the metal specimen was evaluated in three dimensions. It was shown that modeling the real shape of a structure with a crack may be essential for accurately evaluating 3D crack growth.

본 논문은 미세구조의 마이크로 액추에이터의 구동해석을 위한 결과로써 3차원 유한요소해석(Finite Element Analysis, FEA)을 이용하여 수행하였다. 마이크로머신과 같은 미소구조물을 해석하는 경우, 컴퓨터의 메인 프로세스에 비해 프리프로세서(pre-processor)의 비중이 높아지고 있어 그 효율화가 가장 중요하다. 수작업에 의존해야 했던 지난날의 요소분할법 기술은 최근에 들어 여러 연구자들에 의해 개발되고 있다. 특히, 복합현상을 다루는 정전 액추에이터에 직접적인 적용에 다소 어려움이 있는데 3차원적인 수치 및 실험평가는 실용적인 문제에서 비추어 볼 때 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서로서의 역할을 하는 마이크로 정전 액추에이터의 기본설계를 위한 토대를 구축하고자 3차원적인 FEA 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 미세 회전운동을 분석하였다. 그 결과 설계된 모델에서 먼저 자중해석과 Mode 해석에서 기준치를 모두 만족하였다. 또한 설계된 액추에이터의 형상에 따른 회전자의 변형해석을 수행하여 시작토오크와 탄성한계까지의 위치제어에 필요한 회전각을 구하였으며, 정전장 해석을 통하여 시작토오크는 전압 $V^2$에 비례함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 Brushless DC Motors(이하 BLDC Motor이라 함)의 영구 자석의 오버행에 따른 진동, 소음 특성에 대하여 다루었다. 비대칭 오버행 구조에서는 Z축 방향 힘이 발생한다. 이는 베어링에 손상을 입힐 뿐 아니라 큰 노이즈와 진동을 유발시킨다. 따라서 진동과 소음의 감소를 위한 자석 오버행 효과 해석이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 비대칭 영구 자석 오버행 효과를 해석하고 BLDC Motor에서 발생하는 소음과 진동을 분석하였고 비대칭 영구 자석 오버행 효과를 고려하여 Z축 방향의 영향력을 계산하기 위하여 3차원 유한요소법(3D FEM)을 사용하였다.
