In this paper, the response surface method using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis to optimize the shape of a multi-blade centrifugal fan, is described. For numerical analysis, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard k - c turbulence model are transformed into non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Due to the large number of blades in this centrifugal fan, the flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow by introducing the impeller force models for economic calculations. Linear Upwind Differencing Scheme(LUDS) is used to approximate the convection terms in the governing equations. SIMPLEC algorithm is used as a velocity-pressure correction procedure. Design variables, location of cur off, radius of cut off, expansion angle of scroll and width of impeller were selected to optimize the shapes of scroll and blades. Data points for response evaluations were selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method was used for the optimization on the response surface. As a main result of the optimization, the efficiency was successfully improved. It was found that the optimization process provides reliable design of this kind of fans with reasonable computing time.

In this paper, the response surface method using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis to optimize the shape of a forward-curved blades centrifugal fan, is described. For numerical analysis, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard k-e turbulence model are transformed into non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Due to the large number of blades in forward-curved blades centrifugal fan, the flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow by introducing the impeller force models for economic calculations. Linear Upwind Differencing Scheme(LUDS) is used to approximate the convection terms in the governing equations. SIMPLEC algorithm is used as a velocity-pressure correction procedure. Design variables, location of cur off, radius of cut off, expansion angle of scroll and width of impeller were selected to optimize the shapes of scroll and blades.

The Dengue virus M protein is a 75 amino acid polypeptide with two helical transmembranes (TM). The TM domain oligomerizes to form an ion channel, facilitating viral release from the host cells. The M protein has a critical role in the virus entry and life cycle, making it a potent drug target. The oligomerization of the monomeric protein was studied using ab initio modeling and molecular dynamics simulation in an implicit membrane environment. The representative structures obtained showed pentamer as the most stable oligomeric state, resembling an ion channel. Glutamic acid, threonine, serine, tryptophan, alanine, isoleucine form the pore-lining residues of the pentameric channel, conferring an overall negative charge to the channel with approximate length of 51.9 Å. Residue interaction analysis for M protein shows that Ala94, Leu95, Ser112, Glu124, and Phe155 are the central hub residues representing the physicochemical interactions between domains. The virtual screening with 165 different ion channel inhibitors from the ion channel library shows monovalent ion channel blockers, namely lumacaftor, glipizide, gliquidone, glisoxepide, and azelnidipine to be the inhibitors with high docking scores. Understanding the three-dimensional structure of M protein will help design therapeutics and vaccines for Dengue infection.

가동중검사 동안 가압중수로 압력관에서 탐지된 베어링 패드 프레팅 결함, 이물질 프레팅 결함 등 체적결함에 대해서는 CSA N285.8-05 에 따라 탄성 응력집중계수 수식을 이용하여 피로균열 및 수소지연균열이 개시되는 것을 평가하여야 한다. CSA N285.8-05 에는 이물질 프레팅 결함에 대해서는 선형파괴역학 기반한 개략적인 수식만이 제시된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이물질 프레팅 결함에 대해 2 차원 유한요소 해석과 일부 수정된 Kinectrics 사의 공학적 절차를 통해 이물질 프레팅 결함의 기하학적 특성이 좀더 상세히 고려된 탄성 응력집중계수 수식을 도출하였다. 도출된 수식을 적용한 결과와 3 차원 유한요소 해석 결과를 비교한 결과, 도출된 수식은 유한요소 해석과 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Since it was first studied in 1980, solar energy analysis model for geographic information systems has been used to determine the approximate spatial distribution of terrain. However, the spatial pattern was not able to be grasped in 3D (three-dimensional) space with low accuracy due to the limitation of input data. Because of computational efficiency, using a constant value for the brightness of the sky caused the simulation results to be less reliable especially when the slope is high or buildings are crowded around. For the above reasons, this study proposed a model that predicts solar energy of vertical surfaces of buildings with four stages below. Firstly, CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) luminance distribution model was used to calculate the brightness distribution of the sky using NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) solar tracking algorithm. Secondly, we suggested a method of calculating the shadow effect using ray tracing. Thirdly, LOD (Level of Detail) 3 of 3D spatial data was used as input data for analysis. Lastly, the accuracy was evaluated based on the atmospheric radiation data collected through the ground observation equipment in Daejeon, South Korea. As a result of evaluating the accuracy, NMBE was 5.14%, RMSE 11.12, and CVRMSE 7.09%.

유한요소법은 일반적으로 변분원리를 이용해 정식화를 하고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 웨이티드 잔차법으로 아주 좋은 근사해를 얻을 수 있다는 Galerkin법에 의해 Helmholtz방정식으로부터 직접 유산요소 정식화하는 방법을 소개하고, 정식화한 수치계산법을 2, 3차원 음장의 고유모드 및 음향방사상태해석에 응용하였다. 또한 수치 계산결과를 확인하기 위하여 간단한 모형을 제작, 실내음향 모드와 음압분포 등의 측정도 병행하였으며 그 결과, 유한요소법에 의한 수치해석결과의 측정치가 잘 맞는 것을 알았다.

뼈는 주변 여건에 따라 뼈의 재질 및 형상이 변하는 일종의 동적 구조물로서, 보철물이 부착되면 뼈의 응력상태가 다라져 새로이 골재형성을 하게 된다. 특히, 골절판 부착시 뼈의 접촉은 촉진되나, 그 부위의 응력 변화에 의하여 골절판과 부착된 부분의 뼈는 오히려 약화되는 골다공증 현상을 야기하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 뼈의 응력변화와 골재형성의 관계를 3차원 유한 요소법을 이용하여 관련시키고자 한다. 이는, 새로이 설계된 골절판 또는 어떤 보철물이, 비록 그 자체의 생체 적합성 및 충분한 강도를 갖게 되더라도 골재형성에 미치는 영향을 판단할 근거가 요구된다고 사료되기 때문이다. 그래서, 현 사용되는 골절판을 인체 대퇴골에 부착된 3차원 유한 요소 모델을 제작하여, 응력 차이법에 의한 골재형성의 경향을 조사하고, 그 경향을 기존 동물 실험결과와 비교 검토하여, 본 연구의 타당성을 평가하여 보철설계의 역학적 기초를 확립하고자 한다.

Compared to a full three dimensional FEM, the Slab-FEM hybrid method reduces the required computation time distinctly and it can be applied to the analysis of a shape rolling process. However, the method is somewhat approximate and predictions by the method contain certain inaccuracies. In the present investigation a parameter called T-factor was introduced to compensate the inaccuracies of the method and proper values of the parameter were estimated for different widths of bars and reduction ratios. Then, the method was applied to analyze cold and hot rollings of rectangular bars and predicted results were compared to those of experiments. Nonuniform distributions of temperature in the bars were predicted by utilizing the temperature equation obtained for a semi-infinite solid under radiation and convection boundary conditions. It was found out that accuracies of spread and roll separating force predictions could be enhanced by using proper values of the T-factor.

Optimal design of raft-pile foundations is examined by combining finite element technique and the optimization approach. The piles and soil medium are modeled by three dimensional solid elements while the raft is modelled by shell elements. Drucker-Prager criterion is adopted for the soil medium while the raft and the piles are assumed to be linear elastic. For the optimization process, the approximate semi-analytical method is used for calculating constraint sensitivities and a constraint approximation method which is a combination of the extended Bi-point approximation and Lagrangian polynomial approximation is used for predicting the behaviour of the constraints. The objective function of the problem is the volume of materials of the foundation while the design variables are raft thickness, pile length and pile spacing. The generalized reduced gradient algorithm is chosen for solving the optimization process. It is demonstrated that the method proposed in this study is promising for obtaining optimal design of raft-pile foundations without carrying out a large number of analyses. The results are also compared with those obtained from the previous study in which linear analysis was carried out.

풍전압력비와 2차 제트 분사구 위치에 따른 2차분사 추력방향 제어(SITVC: secondary injection thrust vector control) 성능특성 변화를 수치해석하였다. 2차 제트 분사에 의해 간섭된 수축-팽창노즐 내부의 초음속유동장을 대상으로 3차원 비정상 오일러 방정식을 내재적으로 근사인자분해된 Beam과 Warming의 방법을 사용하여 차분하였으며, 2차 분사 제트에 의한 추력비 비추력비 및 전향각에 대한 성능변화를 고찰하였다. 연구결과 측추력과 비추력비는 2차 분사 질량유량에 비래하여 증가하는 반면, 비추력 성능은 감소되어 2차 분사 질량유량이 적을 수록 추력 성능손실이 적어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 전압력비에 대하여 2차 제트 분사위치가 노즐의 하류에 위치할수록 고속기 주유동과의 간섭에 의한 강한 충격파로 인하여 측추력과 측비추력의 증가와 함께 추력방향 제어성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.
