The construction of an underground silo structure was the first stage of erecting the Gyeongju low-and-intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facility. The facility, completed in 2014, has a scale of 100 000 drums and is currently in operation. The underground silo structure, 25 and 50 m in diameter and height, respectively, consists of cylindrical (for storing waste packages) and dome parts. The dome is divided into lower (connected to the operation tunnel) and upper parts. The wall of the underground silo structure is an approximately 1-m-thick reinforced concrete liner. In this study, finite element analysis was performed for each phase of the construction sequence and operation of the underground silo structure. Two-dimensional axial symmetric finite element analysis was implemented using the SMAP-3D program. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also performed to examine the reliability of the two-dimensional axial symmetric finite element model. The structural behavior of the underground silo structure was predicted, and its structural safety was examined.

The aim of this study was to compare the differences in closing extraction spaces between maxillary first premolar and second premolar extractions using 3-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: Maxillary artificial teeth were selected according to Wheeler's dental anatomy. The size and shape of each tooth, bracket and archwire were made from captured real images by a 3D laser scanner and FEA was performed with a 10-noded tetrahedron. A $10^{\circ}$ gable bend was placed behind the bull loop on a $0.017"{\times}0.025"$ archwire. The extraction space was then closed through 12 repeated activating processes for each 2mm of space. Results and Conclusions: The study demonstrated that the retraction of anterior teeth was less for the second premolar extraction than for the first premolar extraction. The anterior teeth showed a controlled tipping movement with slight extrusion, and the posterior teeth showed a mesial-in rotational movement. For the second premolar extraction, buccal movement of posterior teeth was highly increased.

본 연구에서는 3차원 심근조직에서의 회귀성파동에 대한 수치적 해석결과를 제시한다. 심근 조직에서의 회귀성파동은 심실세동(ventricular fibrillation)의 원인으로 지목되고 있으며 심근세포 이온채널 또는 전기전도시스템 등과 같은 여러 가지 요소들이 관련된 복합적 현상으로 생각되고 있다. 지금까지 이에 관한 많은 연구가 전기생리학적 모델을 이용하여 이루어진바 있으며, 주로 동물 심근세포모델에 기반으로 균일한 2차원 또는 3차원 모델에서의 전기전도 현상 해석을 한 바 있다. 그러나 실제 심장조직의 경우, 두께를 가진 3차원적 형상을 지니고 있으며 층을 따라서 전기생리학적으로 상이한 특성을 가진 세포들로 구성된다. 즉 심근은 층을 가로질러 Epi-cardiac, mid-cardiac, endo-cardiac cell들로 구성되며 각기 다른 APD(action potential duration)을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 세가지 종류의 인체 심근세포모델을 사용한 3차원 심근조직에서의 활동전위 전도현상에 대한 결과를 제시한다. 이를 위하여 기존의 인체 3가지 종류의 심근세포 모델을 구현하여 그 타당성을 검토한다. 그리고 이를 바탕으로 3차원 조직모델을 구현하는데, simplified bidomain방법을 사용하였다. 3차원 공간상에서 심근세포에 의한 활동전위 전달현상을 해석하기 위하여 유한요소법을 도입한다. 최종적으로는 3가지의 심근세포층을 가진 3차원 심근조직을 구성하고, 여기에 회귀성 파동을 유도한다. 그리고 단일층으로 이루어진 3차원조직에서의 결과와 비교 분석하여 다세포층에 의한 불균일 효과를 분석하였다.

In recent years, 3D printing has received increasing attention due to its potential for direct fabrication beyond the traditional rapid prototyping. 3D printing has the advantage of being able to manufacture complicated shapes that were thought impossible to produce by traditional manufacturing processes. This advantage has driven applications of 3D printing to direct manufacturing of functional parts, such as lightweight structures and component integration. In this study, a porous shell structure is designed for the purpose of weight reduction and ventilation. Finite element (FE) analyses are performed to compare the effective stiffness of the porous structure with the conventional solid structure. Structural reinforcements are also considered in order to make up the stiffness reduction due to the porosity, and the relevant FE analyses are performed to investigate the effect of the reinforcement design on the bending stiffness. The optimized reinforced structure is then proposed through response surface analysis.

Different backcalculation results for the same material properties are caused by different structural geometry. In this paper, based on real simulation results for typical pavement systems using 3-dimensional FE models, modified AREA graphs are proposed to graphically backcalculate modulus of elasticity of slab and subgrade based on center deflection and AREA. In modified graph for single infinity slab models, deflection and AREA are increased in deeper depth to bedrock. But, effects of depth to bedrock more than 4.0 meters on backcalculation results are negligible. And, center deflection and AREA generated from multifinite slab models are larger than those of single infinity slab models with same depth to bedrock.

The objective of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of the composite slabs with the new-shaped deckplate. In order to examine the deckplate as structural members, the composite slabs with new-shaped deckplate are compared and verified with the international design codes, and the simple inertia-moment equation of the composite slabs is suggested from the regression analysis of the results of the experiments. Besides, the finite element analysis was added on the purpose of the observation of structural behavior of the section items such as the Locking rib and the Dovetail. 36 experiments of composite slabs were performed with two new-type deckplates. And the finite-element analysis was performed by ABAQUS package with the function of the 3-dimension solid modeling.

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.
