A computational analysis of engineering problems with moving domain or/and boundary according to either Lagrangian or Eulerian approach may encounter inherent numerical difficulties, the extreme mesh distortion in the former and the material boundary indistinctness in the latter. In order to overcome such defects in classical numerical approaches, the ALE(arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) method is widely being adopted in which the finite element mesh moves with arbitrary velocity. This paper is concerned with the ALE finite element formulation, aiming at the dynamic response analysis of baffled fuel-storage container in yawing motion, for which the coupled time integration scheme, the remeshing and smoothing algorithm and the mesh velocity determination are addressed. Numerical simulation illustrating theoretical works is also presented.

본 연구에서는 항타시공성(BPM, blow per meter)을 고려하여 대구경 항타강관말뚝을 시공하였을 때 발생하는 폐색효과를 분석하였다. Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL)해석 시 적용된 항타에너지는 파동방정식을 이용하여 산정하였고, CEL 대변형 3차원 유한요소 해석을 수행하여 말뚝 항타시공 과정을 모사하였다. 본 연구 결과, 말뚝 직경이 증가함에 따라 목표 깊이까지 소요되는 항타에너지는 증가(일정한 BPM인 경우에 해당함) 하였으며, 그 결과 soil plugging index(SPI)는 서로 유사하게 나타나지만 폐색효과는 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 말뚝의 근입 깊이가 증가할수록 SPI는 서로 유사한 값을 나타냈으나 관내토에서 발생하는 수평토압이 증가하게 되어 폐색효과는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 폐색효과의 대표적 영향인자인 말뚝 직경, 말뚝 근입 깊이, 지반 탄성계수, BPM에 따른 관내토의 수평토압계수 분포 경향을 제안하였다.

개단말뚝은 폐색정도에 따라 지지력이 다르게 나타나므로 개단말뚝 설계시 폐색효과를 고려하여야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대변형 수치해석 기법 중 하나인 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL) 기법을 이용하여 말뚝의 항타 관입을 모사하여 사질토, 점성토 지반조건, 단일 지반의 탄성계수, 말뚝 선단지지 조건, 다층지반 조건에 대한 영향 분석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 사질토 지반에서 점성토 지반보다 폐색정도가 큰 것으로 확인되었고, 사질토의 경우 지반의 강성이 클수록 폐색정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝 선단이 지지층에 근입된 경우, 그렇지 않은 경우보다 정지토압계수가 크게 나타나 폐색정도가 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 지반의 배열이 이질층인 경우 지반강성에 따라 정지토압계수가 다르게 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 지반조건, 지층 등에 따라 정지토압계수를 다르게 적용하여 관내 내부마찰력을 산정할 필요가 있으며 이를 반영한 합리적인 지지력 산정을 할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The erosion of solid particles in a pipe elbow was numerically investigated. A numerical procedure to estimate the sand erosion rate, as well as the particle motion, in the pipe elbow flow was introduced. This procedure was performed based on the combined empirical erosion model and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to consider the interaction between the particle motion and the eroded surface. The underlying turbulent flow on an Eulerian frame is described by the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with a $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulent model. The one-way coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian motion of the air flow and sand particles is employed to simulate the particle trajectories and particle-wall interactions on the pipe surfaces. The predicted CFD erosion magnitudes are compared with experimental data from pipe elbows. The erosion rate results do not reveal a good accordance between the simulation and experimental results. It seems that the CFD shows a slightly over-predicted erosion ratio.

In this paper, behavior of rectangular storage structures under earthquake loadings are investigated. Linear sloshing is assumed in this study. The effect of the wall flexibility is considered. Eulerian and lagrangian approaches are presented. The Eulerian approach is carried out by solving the boundary value problem for the fluid motion. In the lagrangian approach, the fluid as well as the storage structure is modelled by the finite element method. The fluid region is discretized by using fluid elements. The (1 $\times$ 1)-reduced integration is carried out for constructing the stiffness matrices of the fluid elements. Seismic analysis of the coupled system is carried out by the response spectra method. The numerical results show that the fluid forces on the wall obtained by two approaches are in good agreements. By including the effect of the wall flexibility, the forces due to fluid motion can be increased very significantly.

Finite element analyses using coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian technique are performed to investigate the effect of soil conditions on plugging of open-ended piles in sands. Results from numerical simulations are compared against the data from field load tests on three open-ended piles and show very good agreement. A parametric study focusing on determination of the coefficient of lateral earth pressure (K) in soil plug after pile driving are then performed for various soil densities, end-bearing conditions, and layering conditions. Results from the parametric study suggest that the K value in the soil plug - and hence the degree of soil plugging - increases with increasing soil densities. The analysis results further show that the K value within the soil plug can reach about 63 to 71% of the coefficient of passive earth pressure after pile driving. For layered soil profiles, the greater K values are achieved after pile driving when the denser soil layer is present near the pile base regardless of number of soil layers. This study provides comprehensive numerical and experimental data that can be used to develop advanced theory for analysis and design of open-ended pipe piles, especially for estimation of inner shaft resistance after pile driving.

This paper presents a new approach to simulate fluid-solid interaction problems involving non-matching interfaces. The coupling between fluid and solid domains with dissimilar finite element meshes consisting of 4-node quadrilateral elements is achieved by using the interface element method (IEM). Conditions of compatibility between fluid and solid meshes are satisfied exactly by introducing the interface elements defined on interfacing regions. Importantly, a consistent transfer of loads through matching interface element meshes guarantees the present method to be an efficient approach of the solution strategy to fluid-solid interaction problems. An arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) description is adopted for the fluid domain, while for the solid domain an updated Lagrangian formulation is considered to accommodate finite deformations of an elastic structure. The stabilized equal order velocity-pressure elements for incompressible flows are used in the motion of fluids. Fully coupled equations are solved simultaneously in a single computational domain. Numerical results are presented for fluid-solid interaction problems involving nonmatching interfaces to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.

The characteristic response of a structure to blast load may be divided into two distinctive phases, namely the direct blast response during which the shock wave effect and localized damage take place, and the post-blast phase whereby progressive collapse may occur. A reliable post-blast analysis depends on a sound understanding of the direct blast effect. Because of the complex loading environment and the stress wave effects, the analysis on the direct effect often necessitates a high fidelity numerical model with coupled fluid (air) and solid subdomains. In such a modelling framework, an appropriate representation of the blast load and the high nonlinearity of the material response is a key to a reliable outcome. This paper presents a series of calibration study on these two important modelling considerations in a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian framework using a hydrocode. The calibration of the simulated blast load is carried out for both free air and internal explosions. The simulation of the extreme dynamic response of concrete components is achieved using an advanced concrete damage model in conjunction with an element erosion scheme. Validation simulations are conducted for two representative scenarios; one involves a concrete slab under internal blast, and the other with a RC column under air blast, with a particular focus on the simulation sensitivity to the mesh size and the erosion criterion.

본 연구에서는 지반침식 및 연행작용을 고려한 토석류 해석을 위한 모델을 개발하였으며, 이를 대변형 3차원 유한요소 해석을 통해 거동을 분석하였다. 지반침식 및 연행작용을 고려한 토석류 해석 모델은 토석류에 의한 지반의 변형속도에 따른 전단강도 감소를 고려하였으며, 대변형 해석은 Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL)기법을 이용하였다. 모델의 적정성을 확인하기 위하여 지반침식 및 연행작용을 고려한 실내실험(Mangeny et al., 2010)을 모사하여 거동을 비교하였으며, 또한 실제 발생한 우면산 래미안 유역의 토석류를 대상으로 연행작용을 고려한 해석과 고려하지 않은 해석 결과를 비교함으로써 연행작용에 따른 토석류의 거동 및 피해영향 범위를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 실내 모형실험의 결과를 적절히 모사할 수 있었으며, 실제 유역규모의 해석에서도 토석류의 흐름에 의해 원지반의 침식 및 연행작용을 모사할 수 있었으며 연행작용으로 인해 유하부로 흘러내려오는 토석류의 체적과 속도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이로 인하여 본 연구에서 제안한 해석 모델은 지반의 침식 및 연행작용을 고려하여 토석류의 속도, 토석류의 규모 및 피해 면적을 적절히 예측할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Flexible media such as the paper, the film, etc. are thin, light and very flexible. They behave in geometrically nonlinear. Any of small force makes large deformation. So we must including aerodynamic effect when its behavior is predicted. Thus, it becomes fully coupled fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problem. In FSI problems, where the fluid mesh near the structure undergoes large deformations and becomes unacceptably distorted, which drive the time step to a very small value for explicit calculations, the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE) methods or rezoning are used to create a new undistorted mesh for the fluid domain, which allows the calculations to continue. In this paper, FE sheet model considering geometric nonlinearity is formulated to simulate the behavior of the flexible media. Aerodynamic force to the media by surrounding air is calculated by solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Q2Q1(Taylor-Hood) element which means biquadratic for velocity and bilinear for pressure is used for fluid domain. Q2Q1 element satisfies LBB condition and any stabilization technique is not needed. In this paper, cantilevered sheet in the viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes flow is simulated to check the mesh motion and numerical integration scheme, and then falling paper in the air is simulated and the effects of some representative parameters are investigated.
