  • 본 논문에서는 등분포 하중을 받는 등방성 환형 섹터판의 지배방정식에 대한 새로운 해석적 해가 3차원 극좌표계에서 개발된다. 4차의 편미분방정식 형태를 가지는 지배방정식은 레비 타입 시리즈 해에 대한 가정과 그 후속적인 수학적 처리를 통해 4차의 상미분방정식으로 전환된다. 전환된 상미분방정식의 특성방정식에 대한 실수 영역 및 복소수 영역의 해를 해석적으로 구한 후 제차 및 비제차 방정식의 각 해의 조합으로 최종적인 지배방정식의 해가 완성된다. 개발된 해의 수렴성 및 정확성을 보여주기 위해 다양한 경계조건 및 내부 중심 각도를 가지는 판에 대한 예제 해석을 수행하였고 그 결과를 다른 해석적 연구결과와 비교하였다. 또한 개발된 해의 정확성을 확인하기 위하여 유한요소 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용한 탄성해석을 추가로 수행하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 제안된 해로부터 결정된 환형 섹터판의 변위 및 모멘트 값은 여타의 해석적 및 수치적 접근방법으로 구한 값들과 비교해 본 결과 매우 높은 수준에서 일치하고 있음이 확인되었다.

  • A new analytical derivation of the elastodynamic point load solutions for an isotropic multi-layered half-space is presented by means of the precise integration method (PIM) and the approach of dual vector. The time-harmonic external load is prescribed either on the external boundary or in the interior of the solid medium. Starting with the axisymmetric governing motion equations in a cylindrical coordinate system, a second order ordinary differential matrix equation can be gained by making use of the Hankel integral transform. Employing the technique of dual vector, the second order ordinary differential matrix equation can be simplified into a first-order one. The approach of PIM is implemented to obtain the solutions of the ordinary differential matrix equation in the Hankel integral transform domain. The PIM is a highly accurate algorithm to solve sets of first-order ordinary differential equations and any desired accuracy of the dynamic point load solutions can be achieved. The numerical simulation is based on algebraic matrix operation. As a result, the computational effort is reduced to a great extent and the computation is unconditionally stable. Selected numerical trials are given to validate the accuracy and applicability of the proposed approach. More examples are discussed to portray the dependence of the load-displacement response on the isotropic parameters of the multi-layered media, the depth of external load and the frequency of excitation.

  • 이 논문은 지진응답을 감소시키기 위해 외부설치형 카고메 감쇠시스템의 유효성을 비선형 동적 해석 결과를 통해 나타내었다. 이전의 연구에 의해 제안된 카고메 감쇠시스템을 활용하여 본 연구에서는 등방성, 이선형 이력특성 및 설치구성이 새롭게 제안하였다. 또한, 외부접합형 카고메 감쇠시스템의 여러 가지 효과를 15층 및 20층 철근콘크리트 라멘조 아파트를 대상으로 검증하였다. 원구조물에 대한 감쇠장치 지지구조물의 강성비, 감쇠장치의 수량 및 설치 층수는 설계변수로 고려하였다. 수치해석결과, EKDS는 기존의 한 방향 층간에 설치되는 감쇠시스템과 비교할 때 더 작은 수를 적용하여도 두 방향의 지진하중을 감소시키는데 매우 효과적임을 입증되었다.

  • It is experimentally well-known that high anisotropies of the turbulent flow field are dominant inside the tip leakage vortex, which is attributable to a substantial proportion of the total loss and constitutes one of the dominant mechanisms of the noise generation. This anisotropic nature of turbulence invalidates the use of the conventional isotropic eddy viscosity turbulence models based on the Boussinesq assumption. In this study, to check whether an anisotropic turbulence model is superior to the isotropic ones or not, the results obtained from the steady-state Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulations based on the RNG k-$\varepsilon$ model and the Reynolds stress model (RSM) are compared with experimental data for two test cases: a linear compressor cascade and a forward-swept axial-flow fan. Through this comparative study of turbulence models, it is clearly shown that the RSM, which can express the production term and body-force term induced by system rotation without introducing any modeling, should be used to predict quantitatively the complex tip leakage flow, especially in the rotating environment.

  • The planar tracked vehicle model used in this investigation consists of two kinematically decoupled subsystems, i.e., the chassis subsystem and the track subsystem. The chassis subsystem includes the chassis frame, sprocket, idler and rollers, while the track subsystem is represented as a closed kinematic chain consisting of rigid links interconnected by revolute joints. In this study, the recursive kinematic and dynamic formulation of the tracked vehicle is used to find the vertical terce and the distance of an arbitrary track moved in the driving direction along the track. These distances and vertical forces obtained are used to get the deformation and sinkage of a terrain. The FEM(Finite Element Method) is adopted to analyze the interaction between tracked vehicle and terrain. The terrain is represented by a system of elements wish specified constitutive relationships and considered as a piecewise linear elastic, plastic and isotropic material. When the tracked vehicle is moving with different speeds on the terrain, the elastic and plastic deformations and the maximum sinkage for the four different types of isotropic soils are simulated.

  • In this research, the dynamic photoelastic experimental hybrid method for bimaterial is introduced. Dynamic biaxial loading device is developed, its strain rate is 31.637 s-1 and its maximum impact load is 20 ton. Manufactured methods for model of the dynamic photoelastic experiment for bimaterial are suggested. They are bonding method(bonding material: AW106, PC-1) and molding method. In the bonding method, residual stress is not occurred in the manufactured bimaterial. Crack is propagated along the interface or sometimes deviated from the interface. While in the molding method, residual stress is occurred in the manufactured bimaterial. Crack is always deviated from the interface and propagated in the epoxy region(softer materila). In order to propagate with constant velocity along the interface of bimaterial with arbitrary stiffer material, edge crack should be located along the interface of the acute angle side of the softer material in the bimaterial.

  • High-cycle fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates [-45/0/45/90]s up to $10^8$ cycles were investigated. To assess the fatigue behavior in the high-cycle region, fatigue tests were conducted at a frequency of 100 Hz, since it is difficult to investigate the fatigue characteristics in high-cycle at 5 Hz. Then, the damage behavior of the specimen was observed with a microscope, soft X-ray photography and a 3D ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, to evaluate quantitative characteristics of both transverse crack propagation and delamination growth in the high-cycle region, the energy release rate associated with damage growth in the width direction was calculated. Transverse crack propagation and delamination growth in the width direction were evaluated based on a modified Paris law approach. The results revealed that transverse crack propagation delayed under the test conditions of less than ${\sigma}_{max}/{\sigma}_b$ = 0.3 of the applied stress level.

  • In this paper, local ratcheting behavior of 1045 steel plates with circular cutout was investigated. Experimental tests were carried out by a Zwick/Roell HB 100 servo hydraulic machine. In order to measure the local strain at notch root, a data acquisition system with strain gauge was used. Various notch diameters and distances of strain gauges mounted from the notch root were found influential in the magnitude of local ratcheting strain. It was found that the local maximum principal stress plays a crucial role in increasing the local plastic deformation. Numerical simulation was done by ABAQUS software using nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model. Material parameters of hardening model were attained from several stabilized cycles of flat specimens subjected to symmetric strain cycles. The nonlinear kinematic hardening model along with the Neuber's rule was employed to assess local ratcheting at the notch root of steel plates. The results of the numerical simulations agreed closely with those measured values in this study. Both ratcheting progress and mean stress relaxation occurred simultaneously at the notch root.
