The p-version crack model based on integrals of Legendre polynomial and virtual crack extension method is proposed with its potential for application to stress intensity factor computations in linear elastic fracture mechanics. The main advantage of this model is that the data preparation effort is minimal because only a small number of elements are used and the high accuracy and the rapid rate of convergence can be achieved in the vicinity of crack tip. There are two important findings from this study. Firstly, the limit value, the strain energy of the exact solution can be estimated with successive three p-version approximations by ascertaining the approximations is entered the asymptotic range. Secondly, the rate of convergence of p-version model is almost twice that of h-version model on the basis of uniform or quasiuniform mesh refinement for the cracked panel problem subjected tension.

In the dynamic analysis of a mechanism, if one or more of the components are flexible, then the simulation will not be accurate because of the violation of the rigid body assumption. Mode shapes are used to represent the dynamic behavior of an elastic structure. A modal synthesis method which uses a combination of normal modes, constraint modes, and attachment modes, was used to represent effectively the elastic deformation of a flexible multibody. Since the combination of these modes should be different for each type of connecting part, the modal synthesis method was studied for the various types of interconnecting joints. In addition, the analysis procedure for the flexible body was explained. A satellite system with flexible solar panels was chosen as an example to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 저속충격을 받는 복합재 샌드위치 평판의 동적 거동에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 접촉 하중의 산출을 위해서 Hertz의 접촉법칙을 새로이 수정하는 방법을 제시했는데, 지수를 줄이는 방법과 심재의 두께방향의 탄성계수의 값을 줄여 등가 탄성계수를 계산하는 방법을 사용했다. 접촉하중을 산출하는 비선형 방정식은 Newton-Raphson 방법을 사용하여 계산하였고, 시간적분에는 Newmark-beta 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 기법과 18절점 가정변형률 솔리드 요소를 적용하여 저속충격 해석용 유한요소 프로그램을 개발했다. 이 프로그램을 이용하여 다양한 복합재 샌드위치 평판의 저속충격에 대한 동적 거동을 해석하였다. 제안된 접촉법칙을 적용한 해석결과를 분석하여 볼 때, 대부분의 경우에서 접촉하중과 접촉시간이 실험결과와 대체로 일치함을 확인하였다.

Despite considerable life casualty and financial loss resulting from past earthquakes, many existing steel buildings are still seismically vulnerable as they have no lateral resistance or at least need some sort of retrofitting. Passive control methods with decreasing seismic demand and increasing ductility reduce rate of vulnerability of structures against earthquakes. One of the most effective and practical passive control methods is to use a shear panel system working as a ductile fuse in the structure. The shear Panel System, SPS, is located vertically between apex of two chevron braces and the flange of the floor beam. Seismic energy is highly dissipated through shear yielding of shear panel web while other elements of the structure remain almost elastic. In this paper, lateral behavior and related benefits of this system with narrow-flange link beams is experimentally investigated in chevron braced simple steel frames. For this purpose, five specimens with IPE (narrow-flange I section) shear panels were examined. All of the specimens showed high ductility and dissipated almost all input energy imposed to the structure. For example, maximum SPS shear distortion of 0.128-0.156 rad, overall ductility of 5.3-7.2, response modification factor of 7.1-11.2, and finally maximum equivalent viscous damping ratio of 35.5-40.2% in the last loading cycle corresponding to an average damping ratio of 26.7-30.6% were obtained. It was also shown that the beam, columns and braces remained elastic as expected. Considering this fact, by just changing the probably damaged shear panel pieces after earthquake, the structure can still be continuously used as another benefit of this proposed retrofitting system without the need to change the floor beam.

Since the linear elastic fracture analysis has been proved to be insufficient in predicting the failure of strain hardening materials, a number of fracture concepts have been studied which remain applicable in the presence of plasticity near a crack tip. This work thereby presents a new finite element model to predict the elastic-plastic crack-tip field and fatigue life of center-cracked panels(CCP) with ductile fracture under large-scale yielding conditions. Also, this study has been carried out to investigate the path-dependence of J-integral within the plastic zone for elastic-perfectly plastic, bilinear elastic-plastic, and nonlinear elastic-plastic materials. Based on the incremental theory of plasticity, the p-version finite element is employed to account for the accurate values of J-integral, the most dominant fracture parameter, and the shape of plastic zone near a crack tip by using the J-integral method. To predict the fatigue life, the conventional Paris law has been modified by substituting the range of J-value denoted by ${\Delta}J$ for ${\Delta}K$. The experimental fatigue test is conducted with five CCP specimens to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. It is noted that the relationship between the crack length a and ${\Delta}K$ in LEFM analysis shows a strong linearity, on the other hand, the nonlinear relationship between a and ${\Delta}J$ is detected in EPFM analysis. Therefore, this trend will be depended especially in the case of large scale yielding. The numerical results by the proposed model are compared with the theoretical solutions in literatures, experimental results, and the numerical solutions by the conventional h-version of the finite element method.

This paper aims to develop Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict the buckling resistance of cold-formed steel (CFS) channels with restrained flanges, widely used in typical CFS sheathed wall panels, and provide practical design tools for engineers. The effects of cross-sectional restraints were first evaluated on the elastic buckling behaviour of CFS channels subjected to pure axial compressive load or bending moment. Feedforward multi-layer Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were then trained on different datasets comprising CFS channels with various dimensions and properties, plate thicknesses, and restraining conditions on one or two flanges, while the elastic distortional buckling resistance of the elements were determined according to the Finite Strip Method (FSM). To develop less biased networks and ensure that every observation from the original dataset has the chance of appearing in the training and test set, a K-fold cross-validation technique was implemented. In addition, the hyperparameters of the ANNs were tuned using a grid search technique to provide ANNs with optimum performances. The results demonstrated that the trained ANNs were able to predict the elastic distortional buckling resistance of CFS flange-restrained elements with an average accuracy of 99% in terms of coefficient of determination. The developed models were then used to propose a simple ANN-based design formula for the prediction of the elastic distortional buckling stress of CFS flange-restrained elements. Finally, the proposed formula was further evaluated on a separate set of unseen data to ensure its accuracy for practical applications.

Three kinds of metallic sandwich panels with quasi-Kagome truss cores have been analyzed on their mechanical behaviors subjected to bending load. According to the results of previous work on the optimal design, they were designed to have similarly high strength per weight with the identical overall sizes, i.e., the total length, the width, the core height. Differences were in the face sheet thickness and/or the thickness of the metal sheet from which the core was fabricated through expanding and bending processes. Under the bending load, they performed well as designed, as far as the maximum load is concerned. However, after the maximum load, the load-displacement curves were different each other depending on the slenderness ratio of the truss elements composing the quasi-Kagome truss cores and the face sheet thickness. Namely, the slenderness ratio and the face sheet thickness governed stability of the elastic and plastic buckling. Therefore, if energy absorption characteristics or structural stability as well as the maximum load capacity are to be achieved, the sandwich panel with thick truss members and thick face sheet should be selected.

복합재료를 효과적으로 사용하기 위하여 복합재료 구조물의 설계기준 개발을 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 금속 셀의 좌굴에 대한 설계시에는 초기 결함의 영향과 탄성임계좌굴응력을 근거로 한 녹다운계수(Knock-down factor)를 정의하는 것이 중요한 과정이나 복합재료 쉘의 좌굴에 대한 설계시에는 초기 결함에 대한 민감도가 거의 연구되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 복합재료 쉘의 좌굴거동에 영향을 주는 설계변수는 많기 때문에, 쉘의 설계시 이 변수들로 인한 초기 결함 민감도를 분석하기 위하여 많은 실험을 필요로 하고 있으며 실험 이외의 다른 방법으로서는 이미 검증된 수치모델을 사용하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 복합재료 쉘요소를 개발하는데 사용된 이론을 요약, 정리 하였으며 수치예제를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 쉘요소의 정확성을 검증하였다. 그리고 축방향으로 압축을 받는 GFRP 곡선형 판넬의 설계시 고려해야 하는 각 변수들을 다양하게 변화시키면서 좌굴거동에 미치는 영향을 유한요소 모델링에 의해 고찰하였다. 방법으로서 초기 결합 및 두께의 진폭을 고려한 비선형 해석과 고유치 해석을 수행하였으며 이 결과를 이용하여 녹다운 계수를 산출하였다.

목재 hollow core 형태의 프러쉬문은 가구과 목공품 산업에서 주요 제품으로 사용중 틀어짐과 좌굴은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 틀어짐은 도아 표면재 간의 물리적 및 기계적 성질의 차이에 기인된다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 수치적 모델덜을 사용해 틀어짐과 좌굴을 예측하는데 그 목적이 있다. 여러 환경조건에서 경질섬유판과 합판으로 만들어진 프러쉬문에 대한 각 모델들과 실측치간의 비교를 하였다. 문의 틀어짐과 좌굴을 예측하기 위해 3가지 연속체 모델, 즉 보, 판상 및 판상-좌굴 모델이 채택되었다. 틀어짐은 고습에서보다 저습에서 현저하게 훨씬 현저하게 발생되었으며, 포아송 비를 고려한 판상 모델은 저습에서 보 모델보다 더 정확하게 틀어짐을 예측할 수 있었다. 그러나 고습에서 좌굴이 문의 표면재에 발생하기 때문에 판상-좌굴 모델 이 모든 시험범위에서 가장 적절하였다.
