  • 본 연구에서는 뒤틀림을 받고 있는 정사각형 단면의 중공단면 보를 최소자승법과 경계요소법을 이용하여 수치 해석하고 구조물을 해석하였다. 임계하중은 하중을 점차적으로 증가하여 구조물이 파괴가 발생하여 안정성을 상실하는 상태에서 가장 작은 하중을 의미한다. 뒤틀림을 받고 있는 beam은 일반 구조물에서 많이 발생하는 현상이며, 구조물의 안정성에 크게 영향을 미치고 있다. 최소자승법과 경계요소법은 복잡한 구조물에서도 물론, 다양한 경계조건을 포함하는 문제에 이르기까지 구조물의 안정성을 검사하는데 효과적인 수치해석 방법이다. 특히 뒤틀림의 문제에서는 단순성 및 일반성에 기인하여 매우 적합한 해석방법이다. 본 연구에서는 뒤틀림을 받고 있는 중공단면 보의 해석해를 유도하여 최소자승법으로 수치 해석하고 또한 경계요소법을 적용하여 빔의 안정성을 비교 검토하였다. 개발한 컴퓨터 프로그램의 타당성을 증명하기 위하여 삼각형, 사각형 그리고 타원형 단면에 대하여 각각 해석하여 해석해와 비교 검토하였다.

  • Existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be strengthened with externally bolted steel plates to the sides of beams. The effectiveness of this type of bolted side-plate (BSP) beam can however be affected by partial interaction between the steel plates and RC beams due to the mechanical slip of bolts. To avoid over-estimation of the flexural strength and ensure accurate prediction of the load-deformation response of the beams, the effect of partial interaction has to be properly considered. In this paper, a special non-linear macro-finite-element model that takes into account the effects of partial interaction is proposed. The RC beam and the steel plates are modelled as two different elements, interacting through discrete groups of bolts. A layered method is adopted for the formulation of the RC beam and steel plate elements, while a special non-linear model based on a kinematic hardening assumption for the bolts is used to simulate the bolt group effect. The computer program SiBAN was developed based on the proposed approach. Comparison with the available experimental results shows that SiBAN can accurately predict the partial interaction behaviour of the BSP beams. Further numerical simulations show that the interaction between the RC beam and the steel plates is greatly reduced by the formation of plastic hinges and should be considered in analyses of the strengthened beams.

  • Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are layered materials comprised of thin metal sheets and fiber reinforced plastic (FRP). This paper presents the numerical study of the formability enhancement of FMLs composed of an aluminum alloy and self-reinforced polypropylene (SRPP) composite. In this study, a numerical simulation based on finite element (FE) modeling is proposed to evaluate the formability of FMLs using ABAQUS/Explicit. The FE model, which included a single layer of solid and shell elements to model the blank, used discrete layers of the solid element with a contact model and shell elements with a friction based model for the aluminum alloy-composite interface conditions. This method allowed the description of each layer of FMLs and was able to simulate the interaction between the layers. It is noted through this research that the proposed numerical simulation described properly the formability enhancement of the FMLs and the simulation results showed good agreement with experimental results.

  • A definite shut-in pressure in hydraulic fracturing techniques is needed for obtaining the correct information on the in-situ stress regimes in rock masses. The relation between the behaviour of hydraulically induced fractures and the condition of remote stress is considered to be major reasons of an ambiguous shut-in pressure in hydraulic fracturing pressure-time history curves. This paper describes the results of a series of numerical analyses carried out using UDEC(Universal Distinct Element Code, Itasca), which is based on the discrete element method, to compare several methods for determining the shut-in pressure during hydraulic fracturing. The fully coupling of hydraulic and mechanical analysis was applied, and the effects of four different discontinuity geometries in numerical modelling have been investigated for this purpose. The effects of different remote stress regimes and different physical properties on hydraulic fracture propagation have been also analyzed. Several methods for obtaining shut-in pressure from the ambiguous shut-in curves have been applied to all the numerical models. The graphical intersection methods, such as (P vs. t) method, (P vs. log(t)) method, (log(P) vs. log(t)) method, give smaller values of the shut-in pressure than the statistical method, (dP/dt vs. P). Care should be taken in selecting a method for shut-in pressure, because there can be existed a stress anomaly around the wellbore and fracturing from the wellbore by a constant flow rate may have a more complicate mechanism.

  • This study simulated ice load and the motion response of a moored semi-submersible rig in pack-ice conditions using a finite element method. Ice flows of random size and shape were modeled, and interactions for ice-sea, ice-structure, ice-ice were simulated using a simplified method. Parameters for the simplified method such as drag force coefficient and the pressure-penetration relation were obtained based on the result of detailed analysis using the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The mooring lines were modeled by spring elements based on their stiffness. As a result of the simulation over 1,400 seconds, the force and motion response of the rig were obtained and validated using discrete elements and compared with the results found by the Krylov State Research Centre.

  • A nonlinear finite element modeling approach is developed to assess the behavior of a dowel bar embedded on a single concrete block substrate, subjected to monotonic loading. In this approach, a discrete representation of the steel reinforcing bar is considered, using beam finite elements with nonlinear material behavior. The bar is connected to the concrete embedment through nonlinear Winkler spring elements. This modeling approach can only be used if a new constitutive model is developed for the spring elements, to simulate the deformability and strength of the concrete substrate. To define this constitutive model, an extensive literature review was conducted, as well as 3 experimental tests, in order to select the experimental data which can be used in the calibration of the model. Based on this data, an empirical model was established to predict the global dowel response, for a wide range of bar diameters and concrete strengths. This empirical model provided the information needed for calibration of the nonlinear Winkler spring model, valid for dowel displacements up to 4 mm. This new constitutive model is composed by 5 stages, in order to reproduce the concrete substrate response.

  • Finite element models of dynamic systems can be updated in two stages. In the first stage, mass and stiffness matrices are updated neglecting damping, and in the second stage, damping matrices are estimated with the mass and stiffness matrices fixed. Three methods to estimate damping matrices for this purpose are proposed in this paper. The methods include one for proportional damping systems and two for non-proportional damping systems. Method 1 utilizes orthogonality of normal modes and estimates damping matrices using the modal parameters extracted from the measured responses. Method 2 estimates damping matrices from impedance matrices which are the inverse of FRF matrices. Method 3 estimates damping using the equation which relates a damping matrix to the difference between the analytical and measured FRFs. The characteristics of the three methods are investigated by applying them to simulated discrete system data and experimental cantilever beam data.

  • The study deals with the physical modeling of a typical single storeyed building frame resting on pile foundation and embedded in cohesive soil mass using the finite element based software SAP-IV. Two groups of piles comprising two and three piles, with series and parallel arrangement thereof, are considered. The slab provided at top and bottom of the frame along with the pile cap is idealized as four noded and two dimensional thin shell elements. The beams and columns of the frame, and piles are modeled using two noded one dimensional beam-column element. The soil is modeled using closely spaced discrete linear springs. A parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of various parameters of the pile foundation, such as spacing in a group and number of piles in a group, on the response of superstructure. The response considered includes the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The soil-structure interaction effect is found to increase the displacement in the range of 38 -133% and to increase the absolute maximum positive and negative moments in the column in the range of 2-12% and 2-11%. The effect of the soil- structure interaction is observed to be significant for the type of foundation and soil considered in this study. The results obtained are compared further with those of Chore et al. (2010), wherein different idealizations were used for modeling the superstructure frame and sub-structure elements (foundation). While fair agreement is observed in the results in either study, the trend of the results obtained in both studies is also same.

  • A general and efficient methodology has been developed to analyze dimensional variations of an assembly, taking into account of weld distortion. Weld distortion is generally probabilistic because of the random nature of welding parameters such as the welding speed, maximum welding temperature, ambient temperature, etc. The methodology is illustrated through a very simple example of two perpendicular plates fillet-welded to each other. Two steps comprise the methodology: establishment of a weld-distortion database, and tolerance analysis using the database. To establish the database, thermo-elasto-plastic finite element analyses are conducted to compute the weld distortion for all combinations of discrete values of major welding parameters. In the second step of tolerance analysis, the weld distortion retrieved from the database is used in addition to the dimensional tolerances of the parts. As a result of such an analysis, sensitivities of the assembly's dimensional variations to the part tolerances and weld distortion are obtained, which can be help improve the dimensional quality of the assembly.

  • 절리면의 전단거동에서 나타나는 응력 및 변위의 비선형 특성을 탄소성해석에 의해 모사하는 경우 소성유동법칙이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. Plesha의 절리구성모델을 적용하여 일정수직응력조건과 일정수직변위조건에서 수치직접전단시험을 실시하였다. 연상유동법칙을 적용하면 과도한 수직팽창이 예측되는 반면에 비연상유동법칙을 적용한 해석은 실제 절리거동을 잘 모사하고 있음을 보였다. 비연상유동법칙의 적용으로 강성행렬이 비대칭이 피는 단점을 보완하기 위해 비연상유동법칙을 적용하는 경우라도 요소의 접선강성행렬을 대칭화시키는 수치해석 기법이 제안되었다. 본래의 절리면과 동일한 소성변형을 일으키지만 연상유동법칙을 따르는 등가의 절리면을 가정함으로써 대칭인 탄소성행렬을 유도하였다. 일정수직음력조건에서 수티 직접전단시험을 실시하여 제안된 강성행렬 대칭화 기법의 유효성을 검증하였다.
