Resently, the use of smart structures has been heightened up rapidly. For this issue, vibration analysis related to a graphene nanoplatelet composite (GPLRC) nanodisk which is attached to a piezoelectric layer and is subjected to thermal loads is explored in the current paper. The formulation of this study is obtained through the energy method and nonlocal strain gradient theory, and then it is solved employing generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). Halpin-Tsai model in addition to the mixture's rule are utilized to capture the material properties related to the reinforced composite layer. The compatibility conditions are presented for exhibiting the perfect bounding between two layers. The results of this study are validated by employing the other published articles. The impact of such parameters as external voltage, the radius ratio, temperature difference, and nonlocality on the vibrational frequency of the system is investigated in detail.

This paper investigates the mechanical behavior of full-scale offshore fish cages under hydrodynamic loads. To simulate different cases, different materials were used in the fish cage and analyzed under different flow velocities. The cage system is studied in two parts: net cage and floating collar. Analyses were performed with the ANSYS Workbench program, which allows the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method to be used together. Firstly, the fish cage was designed, and adjusted for FSI: Fluid (Fluent) analysis. Secondly, mesh structures were created, and hydrodynamic loads acting on the cage elements were calculated. Finally, the hydrodynamic loads were transferred to the mechanical model and applied as a pressure on the geometry. In this study, the equivalent (von Mises) stress, equivalent strain, and total deformation values of cage elements under hydrodynamic loads were investigated. The data obtained from the analyses were presented as figures and tables. As a result, it has been shown that it is appropriate to use all the materials examined for the net cage and the floating collar.

This study investigates the impact of standardized underground logistics conainers on lower body muscle activation during warehouse tasks, comparing conventional roll containers(A type) with newly developed ones(B type). Through a detailed experimental setup involving electromyography(EMG) and tensiomyography(TMG), muscle activities of the lower limbs were quantitatively analyzed during loading unloading and transporting tasks. Results indicated no significant difference in muscle activation patters between the two rolltainer types, suggesting that the dimensions of these containers do not critically affect the muscular strain and workload. Furthermore, the TMG analysis revealed that muscle contraction velocity(Vc) increased in certain muscles when using the B-type rolltainer, indicating a potential for more efficient muscle engagement without increasing fatigue. This research underscores the importance of ergonomic considerations in the design of logistics equipment and suggests that further studies should focus on optimizing the interaction between human operators and logistical systems to enhance safety and efficiency in warehouse operations.

This research explores the domain of organic solar cells, a photovoltaic technology employing organic electronics, which encompasses small organic molecules and conductive polymers for efficient light absorption and charge transport, leading to electricity generation from sunlight. A computer simulation is employed to scrutinize resonance and dynamic stability in OSCs, with a focus on size effects introduced by nonlocal strain gradient theory, incorporating additional terms in the governing equations related to displacement and time. Initially, the Navier method serves as an analytical solver to delve into the dynamics of design points. The accuracy of this initial step is verified through a meticulous comparison with high-quality literature. The findings underscore the substantial impact of viscoelastic foundations, size-dependent parameters, and geometric factors on the stability and dynamic deflection of OSCs, with a noteworthy emphasis on the amplified influence of size-dependent parameters in higher values of the different layers' thicknesses.

The bistable thin cylindrical shell is developable structure with the ability to transition between its two stable configurations. This structure offers significant potential applications due to its excellent deformability. In this paper, the composite thin cylindrical shell consisting of the composite layer and the piezoelectric layer was investigated. The material and geometric parameters of the shell were found to influence its stable characteristics. The analysis model of the composite thin cylindrical shell incorporating the piezoelectric layer was developed, and the expressions for its strain energy were derived. By applying the minimum energy principle, the impact of the electric field intensity on the bi-stable behaviors of the cylindrical shell was analyzed. The results showed that the shell exhibited the bistability only under the appropriate electric field strength. And the accuracy of the theoretical prediction was verified by simulation experiments. This study provides an important reference for the application of deployable structures.

골밀도가 높고 두꺼운 피질골에 마이크로임플란트를 self-drilling 방식으로 식립하는 경우 과도한 수준의 골부하 (bone loading)가 발생할 위험이 있으며 이는 인접골의 정상적인 골개형(bone remodeling)에 장애를 초래할 수 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석으로 두께 1.0 mm의 피질골에 Absoanchor SH1312-7 마이크로임플란트((주)덴토스, 대구, 대한민국)가 self-drilling 방식으로 식립되는 과정(10회전, 식립깊이 5 mm)을 모사(simulation)하였으며 식립 단계별로 피질골에 발생되는 스트레인을 조사하였다. 식립중 마이크로임플란트 첨부의 절삭연(cutting flute)에 의한 골삭제로 생기는 나사길(threaded groove)의 치수를 얻기 위하여 가토 경골에 마이크로임플란트를 식립/제거한 후 Micro CT (Explore Locus RS, GE Healthcare, Ontario, Canada)를 이용하여 기하형상을 측정하였으며 이를 치밀골의 유한요소모델에 반영하였다. 해석결과, 치밀골에 발생되는 스트레인은 임플란트 식립깊이에 따라 증가하였고, 초기단계에서 나사산에 인접한 골에 국한되던 과부하 부위(스트레인이 4,000${\mu}$-strain을 상회하는 영역)가 식립깊이 증가에 따라 인접골 전체, 즉 나사산 인접부는 물론 골(valley) 부위에 접하는 모든 영역으로 확장되었다. 본 연구를 통해, self-drilling 방식으로 마이크로임플란트를 식립할 때 치밀골에 발생하는 스트레인 크기는 생리적인 골개형을 저해할 수 있는 수준임을 확인할 수 있었다.

식립 후 힘의 부하가 조기에 이루어지는 마이크로임플란트의 경우 식립 시의 골응력 혹은 스트레인의 관리가 그 안정성에 있어 중요한 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 3D 유한요소법을 사용하여 교정용 마이크로임플란트 식립 시 피질골에 발생하는 응력(스트레인)을 해석하였다. 0.9 mm 직경으로 미리 드릴링한 1mm 두께 피질골에 마이크로임플란트(AbsoAnchor SH1312-7, Dentos, Daegu, Korea)가 식립되는 전체 과정(10회전, 식립 깊이 5 mm)의 모사를 위해 총 1,800 step의 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 식립 진행과 더불어 생기는 나사산 주위 피질골의 기하학적 형상변화를 유한요소해석에 반영하기 위하여 지속적인 remesh를 실행하였으며, 빠른 수렴을 위해 마이크로임플란트는 강체로, 피질골은 강소성체로 모델링하였다. 해석 결과, 마이크로임플란트 식립 시 피질골에 발생되는 스트레인은 임플란트 주위골 전체에서 정상적인 골개형을 위한 한계치로 보고되고 있는 $4,000\;{\mu}$-strain을 상회하였고, 나사산 첨부 인접골에서는 스트레인이 100% 이상에 달하였다. 계산된 피질골 식립토오크는 약 1.2 Ncm 정도로 가토 경골에 동일 모델의 마이크로임플란트을 식립하며 측정한 값에 약간 미달하였으나 근접한 수치를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해, 마이크로임플란트의 식립과정을 3D 유한요소법으로 재현할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 또한 마이크로임플란트 식립에 의해 피질골에 발생하는 스트레인 크기는 생리적인 골개형을 저해할 수 있는 수준임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Developed from conventional concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) members, concrete-encased CFST has attracted growing attention in building and bridge practices. In actual construction, the inner CFST is erected prior to the casting of the outer reinforced concrete part to support the construction preload, after which the whole composite member is under sustained service load. The complex loading sequence leads to highly nonlinear material interaction and consequently complicated structural performance. This paper studies the full-range behaviour of concrete-encased CFST columns with initial preload on inner CFST followed by sustained service load over the whole composite section. Validated against the reported data obtained from specifically designed tests, a finite element analysis model is developed to investigate the detailed structural behaviour in terms of ultimate strength, load distribution, material interaction and strain development. Parametric analysis is then carried out to evaluate the impact of significant factors on the structural behaviour of the composite columns. Finally, a simplified design method for estimating the sectional capacity of concrete-encased CFST is proposed, with the combined influences of construction preload and sustained service load being taken into account. The feasibility of the developed method is validated against both the test data and the simulation results.

Air springs are prevalently used as suspension in train. However, air springs are seldom used in automobiles where they improve stability and comfort by enhancing the impact-relief, breaking, and cornering performance. Thus, this study proposed a new method to analyze air springs and obtained some reliable design parameter which can be utilized in vehicle suspension system in contrast to conventional method. Among air spring types of suspension, this study focused on sleeve type of air spring as an analysis model since it has potential for ameliorating the quality of automobiles, specifically in its stability and comfort improvement by decreasing the shock through rubber sleeve. As a methodology, this study used MARC, as a nonlinear finite element analysis program, in order to find out maximum stress and maximum strain depending on reinforcement cord's angle variation in sleeves. The properties were found through uniaxial tension and pure shear test, and they were developed using Ogden Foam which is an input program of MARC. As a result, the internal maximum stresses and deformation according to the changes of cord angle are obtained. Also, the results showed that the Young's modulus becomes smaller, then maximum stresses decrease. It is believed that these studies can be contributed in automobile suspension system.

해양구조물의 비보강원통 부재가 충돌로 인해 횡 충격하중을 받는 경우 비보강원통의 동적거동을 추적하고 그 결과로 발생되는 손상의 정도를 예측할 수 있는 간이 수치해석 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이 방법에서는 국부적인 변형과 전체굽힘 변형을 별도로 자유도로 분리하여 2 자유도의 스프링-질량계로 치환하여 해석하게 된다. 변형속도를 비롯한 기타의 동적효과가 굽힘변형을 나타내는 스프링 상수값에 미치는 영향은 실험자료로부터 얻어진 수정계수를 도입하여 고려하였다. 제안된 해석방법을 사용하여 얻어진 손상정도의 값들은 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하고 있다.
