In this paper, an automated adaptive mesh generation scheme, based on an advancing-front-Delaunay method, is developed for finite element simulation of three dimensional bulk metal forming processes. During the simulation, the finite element mesh system is adaptively remeshed whenever the mesh is unacceptable. Several schemes are developed such as curvature compensation scheme to minimize volume loss, optimal smoothing scheme to improve element quality, etc. The presented approach is evaluated and applied to automatic forging simulation in order to demonstrate the effect of the developed schemes.

This paper focuses on a number of criteria that enable controlling the influence of geometric simplification on the quality of finite element (FE) computations. To perform the mechanical simulation of a component, the corresponding geometric model typically needs to be simplified in accordance with hypotheses adopted regarding the component's mechanical behaviour. The method presented herein serves to compute an a posteriori indicator for the purpose of estimating the significance of each feature removal. This method can be used as part of an adaptive process of geometric simplification. If a shape detail removed during the shape simplification process proves to be influential on mechanical behaviour, the particular detail can then be reinserted into the simplified model, thus making it possible to readapt the initial simulation model. The fields of application for such a method are: static problems involving linear elastic behaviour, and linear thermal problems with stationary conduction.

The superior performance of the spherical actuator is establishing a new trend in the industry. Spherical actuators can perform multiple degrees-of-freedom (DOF) motions by using only one actuator. Therefore, a multi-DOF device using the spherical actuator can reduce weight and simplify the structure. This paper proposes a new spherical actuator that uses the operational principle of a rotational voice coil motor. The effectiveness of the actuator is verified through 3-D finite element method.

Differential inequalities occurring in problems of obstacle contact problems are recast into variational inequalities and analyzed by finite element methods. A new a posteriori error estimator, which is essential in adaptive finite element method, is introduced to capture the errors in finite element approximations of these variational inequalities. In order to construct a posteriori error estimates, saddle point problems are introduced using Lagrange parameters and upper bounds are provided. The global upper bound is localized by a special mixed formulation, which leads to upper bounds of the element errors. A numerical experiment is performed on an obstacle contact problem to check the effectivity index both in a local and a global sense.

적응적 hp-세분화 기법과 그 기법의 효과적인 구성방법을 포함한 새로운 적응적 유한요소 알고리즘의 기초이론 및 적용이 이 연구를 통해 제시되었다. 적응적 hp-세분화 기초의 유한요소기법은 적분형 르장드르 형상함수와 요소별로 불균등한차수의 분배 및 비정형적인 절점연결과 관련된 연속조건을 만족시킬 수 있는 제약조건을 필요로 한다. 따라서 요소간의 접합부분에서 적응적 hp-유한요소망의 연속성이 중요한 문제로 대두된다. 이러한 문제를 요소경계에 연속성 제약조건을 절점연결 사상행렬을 적용하여 해결하였다. 또한, 적분형 르장드르 형상함수의 계층성질을 이용하여 제시된 알고리즘의 효율적 정식화 방안을 제시하였다. 간단한 캔틸레버문제가 h-세분화, p-세분화 그리고 hp-세분화 방법에 의해 계산되었다. hp-세분화의 결과는 다른 방식의 세분화에 비해 보다 빠른 수렴성을 보여 주는 것이 확인되었다. 그러므로 제시된 hp-세분화 알고리즘은 실제문제에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The present paper reports the development of a computational code based on the Adaptive Group of Ink Drop Spread (AGIDS) for reconstruction of the neutron noise sources in reactor cores. AGIDS algorithm was developed as a fuzzy inference system based on the active learning method. The main idea of the active learning method is to break a multiple input-single output system into a single input-single output system. This leads to the ability to simulate a large system with high accuracy. In the present study, vibrating absorber-type neutron noise source in an International Atomic Energy Agency-two dimensional reactor core is considered in neutron noise calculation. The neutron noise distribution in the detectors was calculated using the Galerkin finite element method. Linear approximation of the shape function in each triangle element was used in the Galerkin finite element method. Both the real and imaginary parts of the calculated neutron distribution of the detectors were considered input data in the developed computational code based on AGIDS. The output of the computational code is the strength, frequency, and position (X and Y coordinates) of the neutron noise sources. The calculated fraction of variance unexplained error for output parameters including strength, frequency, and X and Y coordinates of the considered neutron noise sources were $0.002682{\sharp}/cm^3s$, 0.002682 Hz, and 0.004254 cm and 0.006140 cm, respectively.

The Enriched Free Mesh Method (EFMM) is a patch-wise procedure in which both a displacement field on an element and a stress/strain field on a cluster of elements connected to a node can be defined. On the other hand, the Superconvergent Patch Recovery (SPR) is known to be an efficient post-processing procedure of the finite element method to estimate the error norm at a node. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between solutions of the EFMM and those of the SPR through several convergence studies. In addition, in order to solve the demerit of the smoothing effect on the fracture mechanics fields, we implement a singular stress field to a local patch in the EFMM, and its effectiveness is investigated.

대변형을 고려한 유한요소법을 이용하여 flat DMT의 3차원 관입을 모사하였다. 상용 프로그램으로 널리 알려진 ABAQUS/Explicit를 이용하여 flat DMT의 3차원 관입 해석을 수행하였으며 관입 도중에 발생되는 큰 요소 변형을 해결하기 위하여 adaptive meshing 기법을 도입하였다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로, flat DMT 시험방법으로부터 얻어지는 3가지 지수 중에 하나인 수평응력지수($K_{D}$)와 지반 설계 정수인 비배수 전단강도 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 $K_{D}=2$ 정규압밀지반에서는 Marchetti(1980)가 제안한 경험적 상관관계식과, $K_{D}$가 2이상으로 모사되는 과압밀지반에서는 Kamei & Iwasaki(1995)가 제안한 경험적 상관관계식과 잘 일치하는 결과를 제공하였다.

In this study, a remeshing algorithm adapted to the mesh density map using the Delaunay mesh generation method is developed. In the finite element simulation of forging process, the numerical error increases as the process goes on because of discrete property of the finite elements and distortion of elements. Especially, in the region where stresses and strains are concentrated, the numerical error will be highly increased. However, it is not desirable to use a uniformly fine mesh in the whole domain. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the analysis error by constructing locally refined mesh at the region where the error is concentrated such as at the die corner. In this paper, the point insertion algorithm is used and the mesh size is controlled by using a mesh density map constructed with a posteriori error estimation. An optimized smoothing technique is adopted to have smooth distribution of the mesh and improve the mesh element quality.
