Bellows is a component in piping systems which absorbs mechanical deformation with flexibility. Its geometry is an axial symmetric shell which consists of two toroidal shells and one annular plate or conical shell. In order to analyze bellows, this study presents the finite element analysis using a conical frustum shell element. A finite element analysis is developed to analyze various bellows. The validity of the developed program is verified by the experimental results for axial and lateral stiffness. The formula for calculating the natural frequency of bellows is made by the simple beam theory. The formula for fatigue life is also derived by experiments. The shape optimal design problem is formulated using multiple objective optimization. The multiple objective functions are transformed to a scalar function by weighting factors. The stiffness, strength and specified stiffness are considered as the multiple objective function. The formulation has inequality constraints imposed on the fatigue limit, the natural frequencies, and the manufacturing conditions. Geometric parameters of bellows are the design variables. The recursive quadratic programming algorithm is selected to solve the problem. The results are compared to existing bellows, and the characteristics of bellows is investigated through optimal design process. The optimized shape of bellows is expected to give quite a good guideline to practical design.

본 논문에서는 초기부정을 가진 판이 최종강도에 도달하기까지 나타내는 탄소성대변형 거동을 해석하기 위하여 새로운 간이 유한요소법을 개발한다. 본 논문에서 개발하는 유한요소는 4개의 절점만을 가진 4각형 plane-shell요소로서 면외 뿐만 아니라 면내의 대변형거동에 의한 기하학적 비선형성의 효과도 고려한다. 또한, 요소의 소성거동에 대한 취급은 소성절점법을 적용하여 판두께방향의 소성영역의 확산을 일일히 고려하는 대신에 판두께방향의 중앙부에 생성되는 소성절점에 집약시켜 나타내는 방법으로 단순화하며, 그 결과, 요소의 탄소성 강성행렬은 판두께방향의 수치적분을 수행할 필요없이 간단한 행렬연산만으로 얻어지기 때문에 기존의 유한요소법에 비해 상당한 수치계산 시간의 절약이 예상된다. 본 논문에서 정식화한 해석이론을 바탕으로 컴퓨터 프로그램을 개발하고, 해석예를 통하여 기존의 유한요소법등에 의한 해석결과와 비교하여 본 논문에서 정식화한 해석이론 및 컴퓨터 프로그램의 정도와 유용성을 확인한다.

This Finite Element Program(TAFEM) has been developed to be able to carry out the structural analsis of tunnel section and simulate the surrounding ground behaviour due to New Austrian Tunnelling Method, of which main support is the surrounding ground, itself. The Elasto-plastic theory has been applied. The used finite elements are 8-noded isoparametric element(rock & shotcrete), 2 or 3-noded rod element(rock bolt) and infinite boundary element. The load incremental method and tangential stiffness method has been used. Associated flow rule was applied to plastic flow and yield criteria inclued not only Mohr-Coulomb but also Drucker-Prager. In this paper, Drucker-Prager yield criterion has been used. The relationship between plastic strain and stress is based on the incremental strain concept and stress-strain equation on the basis of the stress path of each gauss point has been adopted. It may be rational that rock is considered to be no-tension material, so that no-tension analysis has been adopted in accordance with the brittle fracture constitutive equation.

In this paper, we have proposed a method by using virtual simulation to calculate the behaviors of spacers to avoid conductor galloping with the hanging composite polymer spacer between conductors on different phases. We have considered with three types of modeling considerations for the analysis of galloping in power transmission lines, such as iced-single conductors without spacer, iced-single conductors with spacers, and iced-two bundle conductors with spacers. In simulation, the finite element method is used to calculate the structural response with geometric nonlinear behavior. The iced conductor is modeled by two beam-element faces with which it is connected. The ANSYS program is applied too. First, the calculation results show that the two beam-element model is very suitable to make a virtual simulation. Second, the amplitude of conductor galloping is reduced after hanged spacers. Third, when number of spacer is increased, the maximum magnitude of natural frequency of iced conductor will reduce. Final, the behaviors of spacers are verified in viewpoint of standard cases.

A rigid visco-plastic finite element method has been developed for modeling superplastic forming processes. The optimum pressure-time relationship for a target strain rate and thickness distributions was predicted using two-node line element based on membrane approximation for plane strain and axisymmetric condition. Analysis of superplastic forming was carried out using the developed program and the numerical results were compared to the values available in the literature for plane strain problems. For description of the contact between the dies and sheet, the direct projection method was applied to the complicated problem and the validity of the scheme was tested. Experiments for the various geometries such as hemisphere and cone were performed with the developed forming machine using the calculated optimum pressure-time curves. Comparison between analysis and experiments showed good agreement.

Low-velocity impact on composite sandwich panel has been investigated. For the study, a finite element program is coded using 18-node assumed strain solid element and Newmark-beta method. Contact force is calculated from a proposed modified contact low. The finite element code is verified by solving typical example. The calculated impact behavior agreed well with experimental result.

In this study, element loading matrices are defined for static application of classical M$\ddot{u}$ller-Breslau principle to finite element method. The loading matrices are derived from existing element matrices using Betti's law and known governing equations of F.E.M. Thus, the ordinates of influence lines and influence surfaces may be easily obtained from structural analysis for the loading matrices derived from governing equations, instead of through introduced unit force or displacement techniques. An algorithm for a computer program and comparative numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the procedure for determination of influence line and surface ordinates.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the inelastic behavior of precast segmental prestressed concrete bridge columns. A computer program, named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. An unbonded tendon element based on the finite element method, that can represent the interaction between tendon and concrete of prestressed concrete member, is used. A joint element is newly developed to predict the inelastic behaviors of segmental joints. The proposed numerical method for the inelastic behavior of precast segmental prestressed concrete bridge columns is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

도심지 지반굴착 해석을 위한 전용 유한요소 프로그램(EM)을 개발하였다. 기존 범용 프로그램과는 달리 사용자가 간단한 입력자료를 작성하고 전.후처리는 자동으로 도화 출력되므로 굴 착해석에 쉽게 사용될 수 있도록 하였다. 특히, 새로 개발된 GDHM재료모델 ((GDHM, General ized Decoupled Hyperbolic Model)은 8면체평면상에서의 응력경로에 따른 강도변화를 고려하였다. 개발된 EM프로그램은 대형 굴착토조모형실험 결과와 비교 검토함으로서 개발된 재료모델과 굴착전용프로그램의 신뢰성을 검증하여 비교적 정확도가 높은 결과를 얻었고, 향후 미비점을 보완, 개선하여야 한다.

In recent years, the subject of remaining life assessment has drawn considerable attention in chemical plants, where various structural components typically operate at high temperature an pressure. Thus a life prediction methodology accounting for high temperature creep fracture is increasingly needed for the components. Critical defects in such structures are generally found in the form of semi-elliptical surface crack, and the analysis of which is consequently an important problem in engineering fracture mechanics. On this background, we first develop an auto mesh generation program for detailed 3-D finite element analyses of axial and circumferential semi-elliptical surface cracks in a piping system. A high temperature creep fracture parameter C-integral is obtained from the finite element analyses of generated 3-D models. Post crack growth module is further appended here to calculate the amount of crack growth. Finally the remaining lives of surface cracked pipes for various analytical parameters are assessed using the developed life assessment program.
