  • PURPOSES: Implementation and verification of the simple linear cohesive viscoelastic contact model that can be used to simulate dynamic behavior of sticky aggregates. METHODS: The differential equations were derived and the initial conditions were determined to simulate a free falling ball with a sticky surface from a ground. To describe this behavior, a combination of linear contact model and a cohesive contact model was used. The general solution for the differential equation was used to verify the implemented linear cohesive viscoelastic API model in the DEM. Sensitivity analysis was also performed using the derived analytical solutions for several combinations of damping coefficients and cohesive coefficients. RESULTS : The numerical solution obtained using the DEM showed good agreement with the analytical solution for two extreme conditions. It was observed that the linear cohesive model can be successfully implemented with a linear spring in the DEM API for dynamic analysis of the aggregates. CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that the derived closed form solutions are applicable for the analysis of the rebounding behavior of sticky particles, and for verification of the implemented API model in the DEM. The assumption of underdamped condition for the viscous behavior of the particles seems to be reasonable. Several factors have to be additionally identified in order to develop an enhanced contact model for an asphalt mixture.

  • 본 연구에서는 굴곡 계면을 따른 균열 진전을 응집 요소를 사용하여 유한요소 해석을 수행하였고 균열 선단에서 복합 모드 하중을 고려하기 위하여 BK 법칙을 적용하였다. 정현파 굴곡 계면을 갖는 이중 외팔보에 하중을 부여하고 복합 모드 응집 법칙에서 응집 강도와 응집 에너지에 따른 하중-변위 선도의 변화를 알아보았다. 응집 강도가 커지면 응집 영역 크기가 상대적으로 작아지고 균열 진전에 따른 하중-변위 선도에 굴곡이 나타나는 것을 보여 주었으며 인장과 전단 응집에너지 비율에 따라 하중의 증가와 하중-변위 선도에 굴곡이 나타나는 것을 보여주었다. 또한 굴곡 계면의 형상에 따른 균열 진전 거동의 영향을 분석하였는데 균열의 형상비가 커지면 균열 진전을 위한 더 큰 균열 분리 에너지가 요구되는 것을 보여 주었다. 굴곡 계면의 형상과 응집 법칙을 변화시켜 파괴 인성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있으며 균열 진전 거동을 변화시킬 수 있게 된다.

  • The effect of porosity on the crack propagation is studied by using the cohesive zone model. Standard mode I fracture test were done by using compact tension specimens with various porosities. Load-load line displacement curves and ${\delta}_5$-crack resistance curves for various porosities were obtained from experiments. The cohesive zone model proposed by Xu and Needleman was employed to describe the crack propagation in porous media, and the Gurson model is used for constitutive relation of porous materials. These models were implemented into user subroutines of a finite element program ABAQUS. The fracture mode changes from ductile fracture to brittle fracture as the porosity increases. Numerical calculations agree well with experimental results.

  • 본 연구에서는 ABAQUS(2014)를 이용한 다공질 매체의 혼합유한요소해석에서 요소 간의 분리를 모사할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. ABAQUS에서는 변위과 간극수압(u-p모델)의 자유도를 갖는 혼합유한요소의 분리를 standard(implicit) 버전 상에서 cohesive element와 함께 해석을 제안하지만, 요소 간의 이탈, 강체운동, 접촉 등과 같은 분리현상에 대해서는 경계조건 문제로 수치 해석상 한계가 있다. ABAQUS-explicit 해석에서는 경계조건 문제에 대해 자유롭지만 지금까지의 혼합요소 간의 분리를 제공하고 있지 않다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 ABAQUS-explicit 상에서 u-p 모델에 대한 분리를 모사할 수 있는 새로운 접근방법이 제안된다. VUMAT 서브루틴을 통하여 구성모델이 적용되고, 간극수압 변화에 따른 요소의 분리 조건을 판단한다. 그리고 VDISP 서브루틴을 통하여 요소의 분리를 발생시킨다. 이렇게 제안된 알고리즘은 간단한 2차원 다공질 매체 예제를 통하여 구현된다.

  • A large deformation FEM (Finite Element Method) based numerical analysis has been performed to study the behaviour of the bell-shaped anchor embedded in undrained saturated (cohesive) soil with the help of finite element based software ABAQUS. A typical model anchor with bell-diameter of 0.125 m, embedded in undrained saturated soil with varying cohesive strength (from 5 kN/m2 to 200 kN/m2) has been chosen for studying the characteristic behaviour of the bell-shaped anchor installed in cohesive soil. Breakout factors have been evaluated for each case and verified with the results of experimental model tests for three different types of soil samples. The maximum value of breakout factor was found as about 8.5 within a range of critical embedment ratio of 2.5 to 3. An explicit model has been developed to estimate the breakout factor (Fc) for uplift capacity of bell-shaped anchor within clay mass in terms of H/D ratio (embedment ratio). It was also found that, the ultimate uplift capacity of the anchor increases with the increase of the value of cohesive strength of the soil and H/D ratio. The empirical equation developed in the present investigation is usable within the range of cohesion value and H/D ratio from 5 kN/m2 to 200 kN /m2 and 0.5 to 3.0 respectively. The proposed model has been validated against data obtained from a series of model tests carried out in the present investigation. From the stress-profile analysis of the soil mass surrounding the anchor, occurrence of stress concentration is found to be generated at the joint of anchor shaft and bell. It was also found that the vertical and horizontal stresses surrounding the anchor diminish at about a distance of 0.3 m and 0.15 m respectively.

  • RC shear walls are considered one of the main lateral resisting members in buildings. In recent years, FRP has been widely utilized in order to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures. A number of experimental studies used CFRP sheets as an external bracing system for retrofitting of RC shear walls. It has been found that the common mode of failure is the debonding of the CFRP-concrete adhesive material. In this study, behavior of RC shear wall was investigated with three different micro models. The analysis included 2D model using plane stress element, 3D model using shell element and 3D model using solid element. To allow for the debonding mode of failure, the adhesive layer was modeled using cohesive surface-to-surface interaction model at 3D analysis model and node-to-node interaction method using Cartesian elastic-plastic connector element at 2D analysis model. The FE model results are validated comparing the experimental results in the literature. It is shown that the proposed FE model can predict the modes of failure due to debonding of CFRP and behavior of CFRP strengthened RC shear wall reasonably well. Additionally, using 2D plane stress model, many parameters on the behavior of the cohesive surfaces are investigated such as fracture energy, interfacial shear stress, partial bonding, proposed CFRP anchor location and using different bracing of CFRP strips. Using two anchors near end of each diagonal CFRP strips delay the end debonding and increase the ductility for RC shear walls.

  • It has been argued that fracture energy of composite laminates depends on their thickness and number of layers. In this paper a modified direct energy balance approach (DEBA) has been developed to evaluate the mode-II shear fracture energy for E-glass/Epoxy laminates from finite element model at an arbitrary thickness. This approach considers friction and damage/plasticity deformations using cohesive zone modeling (CZM) and nonlinear finite element modeling. The presence of compressive stress and resulting friction was argued to be a possible cause for the thickness dependency of fracture energy. In the finite element modeling, CZM formulation has been developed with bilinear cohesive constitutive law combined with friction consideration. Also ply element have been developed with shear plastic damage model. Modified direct energy balance approach has been proposed for estimation of mode-II shear fracture energy. Experiments were performed on laminates of glass epoxy specimens for characterization of material parameters and determination of mode-II fracture energies for different thicknesses. Effect of laminate thickness on fracture energy of transverse crack tension (TCT) and end notched flexure (ENF) specimens has been numerically studied and comparison with experimental results has been made. It is shown that the developed numerical approach is capable of estimating increase in fracture energy due to size effect.

  • 본 논문에서는 재료의 물성에 따른 파괴 거동을 응집영역모델과 확장유한요소법을 이용하여 예측하였다. 중앙에 경사진 초기 균열을 가지는 직사각형 시편 형상에 대해 평면응력요소로 모델링하고 인장하중을 가하여 균열의 전파 거동을 모사하였다. 파손 진전이 예측되는 지역에 대해 응집영역모델링 해석에서는 모든 일반 요소들 사이에 응집요소를 삽입하였고, 확장유한요소해석에서는 요소확장영역으로 지정하였다. 취성과 소성 재료에 대해 파괴 형태를 예측하고 파괴 강도를 계산하였다. 시편의 두께가 매우 얇은 경우에 기하학적 비선형 후좌굴해석 기법으로 주름변형을 고려하였고 주름이 파괴 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.
