This paper presents a theoretical analysis for determining the transverse deflection of simply supported battened beams subjected to a uniformly distributed transverse quasi-static load. The analysis considers not only the shear effect but also the discrete effect of battens on the transverse deflection of the battened beam. The analytical solution is obtained using the principle of minimum potential energy. Numerical validation of the present analytical solution is accomplished using finite element methods. The present analytical solution shows that the shear effect on the transverse deflection of battened beams increases with the cross-section area of the main member but decreases with the cross-section area of the batten. The longer the battened beam is, or the larger the moment of inertia of the main member is, the smaller the shear effect will be.

Low-velocity impact responses of composite laminates are investigated using the finite element method based on various theories. In two-dimensional nonlinear analysis, a displacement field considering higher order shear deformation and large deflection of the laminate is assumed and a finite element formulation is developed using a C$^{o}$-continuous 9-node plate element. Also, three-dimensional linear analysis based on the infinitesimal strain-displacement assumptions is performed using 8-node brick elements with incompatible modes. A modified Hertzian contact law is incorporated into the finite element program to evaluate the impact force. In the time integration, the Newmark constant acceleration algorithm is used in conjuction with successive iterations within each time step. Numerical results from static analysis as well as the impact response analysis are presented including impact force histories, deflections, strains in the laminate. Impact responses according to two typical low-velocity impact conditions are compared each other.

The aeroelastic analysis of rotor blades with trailing edge flaps, focused on reducing vibration while minimizing control effort, are investigated using large deflection-type beam theory in forward flight. The rotor blade aerodynamic forces are calculated using two-dimensional quasi-steady strip theory. For the analysis of forward flight, the nonlinear periodic blade steady response is obtained by integrating the full finite element equation in time through a coupled trim procedure with a vehicle trim. The objective function, which includes vibratory hub loads and active flap control inputs, is minimized by an optimal control process. Numerical simulations are performed for the steady-state forward flight of various advance ratios. Also, numerical results of the steady blade and flap deflections, and the vibratory hub loads are presented for various advance ratios and are compared with the previously published analysis results obtained from modal analysis based on a moderate deflection-type beam theory.

Operation deflection shapes(ODS) is defined as a motion of structure at particular frequency. The ODS is eligible to show any types of structural motions while the modes supply solutions only to linear and stationary motion. The principal vibration source of an auto teller machine(ATM) case was occurred due to resonance which was found by modal analysis. To reduce the vibration of ATM case, the motion of the case was visualized using ODS analysis, which can suggest how to modify the structure. As a result the vibration of the ATM case was greatly reduced with a stiffening bar between the opposite plates.

In this paper, a nonlinear numerical method to solve the large deflection problem is introduced. And the non-dimensional load-deflection behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates is parametrically investigated. The large deflection problem is formulated according to the von Kármán nonlinear theory and the (1,1,0)^* hierarchical model, and it is approximated by 2-D natural element method (NEM). The shear locking phenomenon is suppressed by the selectively reduced integration method. The nonlinear matrix equations are solved by combining the incremental loading scheme and the Newton-Raphson iteration method. The proposed method is validated from the benchmark experiments, where the propose method shows an excellent agreement with the reference methods. The nonlinear behavior of FG-CNTRC plates is evaluated in terms of the non-dimensional load-deflection curve, and it is parametrically investigated with respect to the existence/non-existence and gradient pattern of CNTs, the width-to-thickness and aspect ratios of plates and the type of boundary conditions. The non-dimensional central deflection is significantly reduced when CNTs and added, and it decreases with the volume fraction of CNTs. But, it shows a uniform increase in proportion to the width-to-thickness and aspect ratios. Both the gradient pattern of CNTs and the type of boundary conditions do also show the remarkable effects.

The Aerial platform Truck is widely used for work in high place with the aerial platform. The most important thing is that worker's safety and worker must be able to work with trustworthiness so it needs to be verified its stiffness, deflection of boom, and dynamic condition concerned with a rollover accident. It should have an analytical exactitude because it is directly linked with the worker safety. In this point, we are trying to develop a proper CAE analysis model concerned with a rollover safety, bending stress and deflection for load. The Aerial platform Truck have a dynamic characteristics by load and moving of boom in the work field, so its static and dynamic strength analysis, structural mechanics are very important. Therefore, we evaluate the safety of each boom to calculating its stress, deflection. A computer simulation program is used widely for doing applying calculation of stiffness and structural mechanics, then finally trying to find a optimum design of the Aerial platform Truck.

An extensive investigation is performed to analyze the behavior of tieback anchored wall. Finite element method is used and several case histories are collected to investigate the relationship of wall deflection, anchor unbonded length, and anchor load. The finite element method can calculate wall deflection with changing the anchor unbonded length and the anchor load. Wall deflection normalized by excavation height can be related to anchor location so that it may produce a zone chart. It is found that a different chart showing the relation of the wall deflection, the anchor load, and anchor unbonded length can be constructed. It is necessary to collect more case histories considering soil conditions and to perform FE analysis extensively with changing bonded length to extend the capability of this relation chart into practice.
