Numerical methods to estimate behaviors of jointed rock mass can be roughly divided into two method : discontinuous model and continuum model. Generally, distinct element method (DEM) is applied in discontinuous model, and finite element method (FEM) or finite difference method (FDM) is utilized in continuum model. To predict a behavior of discontinuous model by DEM, it is essential to understand characteristics of joints developed in rock mass through field tests. However, results of field tests can not provide full information about rock mass because field tests is conducted in limited area. In this paper, discontinuous analysis by UDEC and continuous analysis by FLAC is utilized to estimate a behavior of a tunnel in jointed rock mass. For including discontinuous analysis in continuous analysis, joints in rock mass is considered by reducing rock mass properties obtained by RMR and decreasing shear strength of rock mass. By comparing and revising two analysis results, analysis results similar with practical behavior of a tunnel can be induced and appropriate support system is decided.

Conventional space vector pulse width modulation based asymmetrical dual inverter configuration produces high common mode voltage (CMV) variations. This CMV causes the flow of common mode current, which adversely affects the motor bearings and electromagnetic interference of nearby electronic systems. In this study, a simple and generalized carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is proposed for dual inverter configuration. This simple approach generates various continuous and discontinuous modulating signals based PWM algorithms. With the application of the discontinuous modulating signal based PWM algorithm to the asymmetrical dual inverter configuration, the CMV can be reduced with a slightly improved quality of output voltage. The performance of the continuous and discontinuous modulating signals based PWM algorithms is explored through both theoretical and experimental studies. Results show that the discontinuous modulating signal based PWM algorithm efficiently reduces the CMV and switching losses.

불연속 지형을 지나는 천수 흐름의 해석에서 흐름률을 정확하게 계산하기 위하여 계단에 의한 흐름 저항이 지배적인 계단 전면과 그 영향이 비교적 덜한 계단의 윗부분을 구분하여 접근하는 새로운 기법을 제안하였다. 새로운 기법에 의한 모의 결과는 정확해, 가상의 문제에 대한 3차원 모의 결과, 그리고 실험 결과와 대체로 잘 일치하였다. 이 연구에서 개발된 기법으로 불연속 하천구조물을 넘나드는 천수 흐름에 대한 직접 해석이 가능해졌다. 보나 옹벽(강변 도로)의 월류 양상 그리고 불연속 지형으로 이루어진 도심에서 범람에 따른 침수 구역의 정확한 산정에 개발된 기법의 적용이 기대된다.

This paper investigated the damage transition mechanism between the fiber-breaking mode and the fiber-avoiding crack mode when the fiber-length is reduced in the unidirectional discontinuous carbon fiber-reinforced-plastics (CFRP) composites. The critical fiber-length for the transition is a key parameter for the manufacturing of flexible and high-strength CFRP composites with thermoset resin, because below this limit, we cannot take full advantage of the superior strength properties of fibers. For this discussion, we presented a numerical model for the microscopic damage and fracture of unidirectional discontinuous fiber-reinforced plastics. The model addressed the microscopic damage generated in these composites; the matrix crack with continuum damage mechanics model and the fiber breakage with the Weibull model for fiber strengths. With this numerical model, the damage transition behavior was discussed when the fiber length was varied. The comparison revealed that the length of discontinuous fibers in composites influences the formation and growth of the cluster of fiber-end damage, which causes the damage mode transition. Since the composite strength is significantly reduced below the critical fiber-length for the transition to fiber-avoiding crack mode, we should understand the damage mode transition appropriately with the analysis on the cluster growth of fiber-end damage.

최근 반송장치 시스템의 구동원으로 전기자 분산배치를 이용한 영구자석 리니어 동기 모터가 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 전기자 분산배치를 이용한 영구자석 리니어 동기 모터는 구조상 필연적으로 단부가 존재하게 된다. 이러한 이유로 전기자의 철심과 가동자의 영구자석 사이에 단부 코깅력이 발생한다. 본 논문은 유한요소법을 이용한 2차원 수치해석을 통해 단부 코깅력을 고찰하였다. 또한, 단부 코깅력을 최소화하기 위해 가동자에 보조극을 설치한 형상을 제안하였다.

The phenomenology of shock loading effects in brittle mass has been of interest to researchers and engineers. The shock loading as blasting causes strong stress waves in the structures. Discontinuous faces due to shock waves interrupt the tensile stress wave propagation and reflect the stress wave propagation. To predict the fracturing behavior of brittle mass, it is required for the numerical method that can analyze the colliding and slipping behavior of discontinuous faces and the wave propagation in the mass, simultaneously In this study, the wave propagation in the brittle materials is analyzed using the modified distinct element method to be able to predict the behavior of discontinuous structures. The behavior of an unsupported bar subjected to loading at the end is analyzed to verify the rigid body motion of a bar and the relative displacement in the bar. The colliding behavior of two bars is analyzed to investigate the propagation of stress waves in the bar. The fracturing behavior of a bar due to impact loading is analyzed to investigate the propagation of stress waves in the bar with and without the discontinuous faces. The applicability of the modified distinct element method to the wave propagation problems is investigated.

The discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) has become widely used as it possesses several qualities, such as a natural ability to dealing with discontinuities. DGM has its major success related to fluid mechanics. Its major importance is the ability to deal with discontinuities and still provide high order of approximation. That is an important advantage when simulating cracking propagation. No remeshing is necessary during the propagation, since the crack path follows the interface of elements. However, DGM comes with the drawback of an increased number of degrees of freedom when compared to the classical continuous finite element method. Thus, it seems a natural approach to combine them in the same simulation obtaining the advantages of both methods. This paper proposes the application of the combined continuous-discontinuous Galerkin method (CDGM) to crack propagation. An important engineering problem is the simulation of crack propagation in concrete structures. The problem is characterized by discontinuities that evolve throughout the domain. Crack propagation is simulated using CDGM. Discontinuous elements are placed in regions with discontinuities and continuous elements elsewhere. The cohesive zone model describes the fracture process zone where softening effects are expressed by cohesive zones in the interface of elements. Two numerical examples demonstrate the capacities of CDGM. In the first example, a plain concrete beam is submitted to a three-point bending test. Numerical results are compared to experimental data from the literature. The second example deals with a full-scale ground slab, comparing the CDGM results to numerical and experimental data from the literature.

불연속 지형 전면에 작용하는 정수압 분포에 실제 압력과 차이를 해명하는 흐름률 보정 계수를 도입하여 불연속 지형을 직접 해석하는 Hwang의 기법이 적용된 수치 모형의 정확도를 높일 수 있었다. 218개 실험 시행으로 직각 광정 위어의 월류량에 가장 적합한 계수를 결정하였으며, 이것을 별도의 두 가지 직립 광정 위어 실험과 측면 위어 부정류 실험에 적용해보니 실험과 모의에서 월류량이 서로 잘 일치하였다. 이로써 조밀한 격자로 불연속 지형을 완화하거나 내부 경계를 부여하지 않고도 직각 광정 위어와 같은 불연속 하천 구조물을 지나는 천수 흐름의 정확한 수치 모의가 가능해졌다.

Novel unified criterion to optimize power coupling at optical directional couplers with discontinuous input/output interfaces is first defined and evaluated numerically. The numerical results reveal that maximum power transfer between guiding slabs without discontinuous interfaces is dominated by conventional phase-matching condition while the guiding structures with discontinuous interfaces has maximum power transfer at an equi-partition condition, which describes the power distribution condition between two rigorous modes propagating through optical couplers.
