This paper introduces two kinds of new four-node quadrilateral axisymmetric elements with independently-assumed strains. They are formulated by the modified Hellinger-Reissner principle so as to employ incompatible displacements and assumed strains. In one of the present elements, the strains from incompatible displacements are corrected to pass the constant strain patch test. The other contains incompatible functions that are obtained from the element boundary condition. The elements are evaluated on the several problems of bending and material incompressibility with regular and distorted meshes. The results show that the new element performs excellently in deformation and stress calculation.

단섬유 보강 플래스틱 재료의 사출성형 충전공정에서 금형재의 유동장이 섬유 배향 상태를 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 섬유의 배향상태가 역으로 유동장에 영향 을 미친다. 충전유동과 섬유 배향의 연계해석을 위하여 단섬유에 의한 추가적인 응력을 포 함하는 Dinh과 Armstrong의 이방성 구성방정식을 충전유동의 해석에 도입하였다. 평명방향 으로의 속도구배에 의한 응력을 고려하여 새롭게 유도된 압력 지배방정식과 에너지방정식을 유한요소법과 유한차분법을 이용하여 풀고 동시에 2차배향텐서의 변화방정식을 4차 Runge-kutta 방법을 이용하여 풀었다. 절점 게이트 주변의 확장유동영역과 라인게이트를 통한 수축유동영역에서 평면방향으로의 속도구배에 의한 응력이 유동장에 미치는 영향을 고 찰하였다. 확장유동영역에서는 평면방향으로의 속도구배에 의한 영향이 추가적인 유량으로 나타나면서 주어진 유량조건하에서 평면방향으로의 속도구배에 의한 응력을 고려하지 않은 경우보다 작은 압력구배를 나타냈다. 수축유동영역에서는 위와 반대의 결과를 보였다. 이러 한 경향은 섬유의 부피분율이증가하거나 모양비가 커짐에 따라 증가한다.

Due to the drastic improvement of computer hardware and operating system, it is easy to break through the main defects of limited computer memory and processing time, etc. To keep up with this situation, this paper is focused on developing the preprocessor program with the input method based on vector graphic editor and the preprocessing technique including automatic node generation algorithm for the $\rho$-version finite element program. To develop this preprocessor program, the special data structure and the OOP(Object Oriented Programming) have been used by the Visual Basic 4.0. The Special data structure is proposed to describe the geometric data of node numberings and coordinates suitable for the $\rho$-version finite element program, which are quite different from the comvential h-version finite element program.

본 논문에서는 원자력발전소의 부속건물인 냉각탑에 대한 추계론적 해석을 수행하였다. 냉각탑 구조는 원자력발전소의 냉각시스템 부속건물로서 그 규모가 매우 큰 반면 쉘의 두께가 매우 얇아 바람하중에 취약한 구조로서 주로 철근콘크리트로 건설된다. 냉각작용은 냉각탑의 하부에 유입된 외부공기에 의한 대류현상에 의하며 냉각에 필요한 시설은 냉각탑 하부에 위치한다. 이 구조는 형태적 및 재료적 특성에 따라 형상과 재료에서 공간적인 형상불완전과 재료적 불확실성을 가지며, 이들 불확실성은 구조의 응답에 영향을 미친다. 이들 인수의 불확실성을 추계장으로 가정하고 이들 사이의 상관관계를 고려하여 응답에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 해석에는 4절점 층상쉘요소를 사용하였고, 몬테카를로 해석을 적용하였다.

As for the safety evaluation of existing large-scale structures, methods for the estimation of structural and dynamic properties are studied. Sequential prediction error method in time domain and frequency response function estimators in frequency domain are examined. For this purpose, impact tests are performed on a steel frame structure with 2 bays and 3 floors. Results from both methods are found to be consistent to each others. However those from the finite-element analysis are slightly different from the experimental results. The discrepancies may be caused by the improper modeling of the complex behavior at the connection joints of the model structure.

In adaptive finite element analysis, r- and h-methods are generally used on the basis of a discretization error estimator. In this paper, an rh-method is proposed as a new adaptive method which can improve the adaptivity performance by using both of them. This suggested rh-method moves nodal coordinates of initially given model to adjust element discretization errors and thereafter performes the h-method tdo obtain the specified accuracy of finite element solutions. Numerical experiments for various plane problems were performed using 4-noded isoparametric quadrilateral elements. As a result, the rh-method has been shown to be an accurate and efficient adaptive analysis method to obtain as improved solution.

This paper deals with a numerical model for the time-dependent analysis of steel and concrete composite beams with partial shear connection. A linear partial interaction theory is adopted in formulation of structural slip behavior, and the effect of concrete creep and shrinkage are considered. The proposed model is effective in simulating the slip behavior, combined with concrete creep and shrinkage, of multi-span continuous composite beams. Finally, correlation studies and several parameter studies are conducted with the objective to establish the validity of the proposed model.

This paper describes the general formulation for the in-plane flexural free vibration analysis of two layered structure by the transfer influence coefficient method. The structure is regared as a distributed mass system with lumped mass and inertia moments, massless linear and rotational springs, and joints elements of releases and rolls at which the displacements are discontinuous in each layer. The results of the simple numerical examples on a personal computer demonstrate the validity of the present method, that is, the numerical high accuracy, the high speed, the flexibility for programming of the present algorithm, compared with the transfer matrix method.

This paper deals with the FE analysis for the free vibration of sloshing in horizontal cylindrical tank with baffles. We use Laplace equation based on potential theory as governing equation. This problem is solved by FEM using lineal isoparametric elements. We assume that the tank as well as baffles is rigid body and by separating nodes into two at the baffle location, baffle effect is obtained by separating nodes into two at the baffle location. For the calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes, we introduce Lanczos transformation and Jacobi iteration methods. Numerical results of the first longitudinal and transverse modes, while comparing with literature cited, are very good. In order for the baffle effects on the free vibration of sloshing, various combinations of baffle parameters, which are location, inner diameter and number, are examined.

Fiber-reinforced composite materials due to their high specific strength, high stiffness and light weight are becoming increasingly used in many engineering industry, especially in the aerospace, marin and civil, etc. In this paper, the buckling load and mode shapes of composite laminates with elliptical cross-section including transverse shear deformations are analyzed. For solving this problems, a versatile flat shell element has been developed by combining a membrane element with drilling degree-of-freedom and a plate bending element. Also, an improved shell element has been established by the combined use of the addition of enhanced assumed strain and the substitute shear strain fields. The combined influence of shell geometry and elliptical cross-sectional parameter, fiber angle, and lay-up on the buckling loads of elliptical cylinder is examined. The critical buckling loads and mode shapes analyzed here may serve as a benchmark for future investigations.
