The paper presents a study regarding rubber compressibility behavior. The objective is to analyze the effect of compression degree of rubber on its mechanical properties and propose a new methodology based on reverse engineering to predict compressibility degree based on uniaxial stretching test and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In general, rubbers are considered to be almost incompressible and Poisson's ratio is close to 0.5. Since this property is intimately related to the rubber packing density, little changes in Poisson's ratio can lead to significant changes regarding mechanical behavior. The deviatory hyperelastic constants were obtained through experimental data fitting by least squares method for the most relevant constitutive models implemented in commercial software Abaqus, such as: Neo-Hooke, Mooney-Rivlin, Ogden, Yeoh and Arruda-Boyce, whereas the hydrostatic part was determined through an optimization algorithm implemented in the Abaqus environment by Python scripting. The simulation results presented great influence of the Poisson's ratio in the rubber specimen mechanical behavior mainly for high strain levels. A conventional pure volumetric compression test was also carried out in order to compare the results obtained by the proposed methodology.

Abrupt change of cross-section in mechanical parts is one of significant causes of structural fracture. In this paper, a hybrid method is employed to analyze the stress distribution of a discontinuous plate. The plate with an inclined crack is utilized in our experiment and the stress field in the vicinity of crack tip is calculated through isochromatic fringe order of given points. This calculation can be made handy through least-squares method integrated with complex power series representation(Laurent series) implemented on a computer program for high-speed processing. In order to accurately compare calculated results with experimental ones, both of actual and regenerated photoelastic fringe patterns are doubled and sharpened by digital image processing. The experiment results show that regenerated patterns obtained by hybrid method are quite comparable to actual patterns.

Flexural stiffness of bridge spans has become even more important parameter since Eurocode 1 introduced for railway bridges the serviceability limit state of resonance. For simply supported bridge spans it relies, in general, on accurate assessment of span moment of inertia that governs span flexural stiffness. The paper presents three methods of estimation of the equivalent moment of inertia for such spans: experimental, analytical and numerical. Test loading of the twin truss bridge spans and test results are presented. Recorded displacements and the method of least squares are used to find an "experimental" moment of inertia. Then it is computed according to the analytical method that accounts for joint action of truss girders and composite deck as well as limited span shear stiffness provided by diagonal bracing. Finally a 3D model of finite element method is created to assess the moment of inertia. Discussion of results is given. The comparative analysis proves efficiency of the analytical method.

Model updating is a very active research field, in which significant efforts has been invested in recent years. Model updating methodologies are invariably successful when used on noise-free simulated data, but tend to be unpredictable when presented with real experimental data that are-unavoidably-corrupted with uncorrelated noise content. In this paper, Reanalysis using frequency response functions for correlating and updating dynamic systems is presented. A transformation matrix is obtained from the relationship between the complex and the normal frequency response functions of a structure. The transformation matrix is employed to calculate the modified damping matrix of the system. The modified mass and stiffness matrices are identified from the normal frequency response functions by using the least squares method. Full scale pseudo dynamic pier test is employed to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. The result indicate that the damping matrix of correlated finite element model can be identified accurately by the proposed method. In addition, the robustness of the new approach uniformly distributed measurement noise is also addressed.

MLS(Moving Least Squares) 차분법은 무요소법의 이동최소제곱법과 Taylor 전개를 이용하여 요소망의 제약 및 수치 적분이 없이 절점만을 이용하여 미분방정식을 수치해석할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 고체역학 문제의 동적해석을 위하여 MLS 차분법의 시간이력해석 알고리즘을 제시한다. 개발된 알고리즘은 Newmark 방법으로 시간적분을 하였으며, 강형식을 그대로 이산화하여 해석을 수행했다. 이동최소제곱법을 이용해 Taylor 전개식을 근사하여 실제 미분계산없이 미분근사식을 얻기 때문에 고차까지 Taylor 다항식의 차수를 증가하는 것이 용이하다. 1차원과 2차원 수치예제들을 통하여 동적해석을 위한 MLS 차분법의 정확성과 효율성을 검증하였다. 수치결과들이 정확해에 잘 수렴하였으며, 유한요소법(FEM)의 해석결과와 비교하여 떨림현상(oscillation) 및 주기성(periodicity) 오차에 대해 보다 안정적인 모습을 보였다.

Model updating is a very active research field, in which significant efforts has been invested in recent years. Model updating methodologies are invariably successful when used on noise-free simulated data, but tend to be unpredictable when presented with real experimental data that are-unavoidably-corrupted with uncorrected noise content. In this paper, Reanalysis using frequency response functions for correlating and updating dynamic systems is presented. A transformation matrix is obtained from the relationship between the complex and the normal frequency response functions of a structure. The transformation matrix is employed to calculate the modified damping matrix of the system. The modified mass and stiffness matrices are identified from the normal frequency response functions by using the least squares method. One simulated system is employed to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. The result indicate that the damping matrix of correlated finite element model can be identified accurately by the proposed method. In addition, the robustness of the new approach uniformly distributed measurement noise Is also addressed.

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites have drawn increasing attentions worldwide for decades due to its outstanding properties. Stress concentration factor (SCF) as an essential parameter in materials science are critically considered in structure design and application, strength assessment and failure prediction. However, investigation of stress concentration in FRP composites has been rarely reported so far. In this study, three resource-conserving analyses (Isotropic analysis, Orthotropic analysis and Finite element analysis) were introduced to plot the $K_T^A-d/W$ curve for E-glass/epoxy composite plate with the geometrical defect of circular hole placed centrally. The plates were loaded to uniaxial direction for simplification. Finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out via ACP (ANSYS composite prepost module). Based on the least squares method, a simple expression of fitting equation could be given based on the simulated results of a set of discrete points. Finally, all three achievable solutions were presented graphically for explicit comparison. In addition, the investigation into customized efficient SCFs has also been carried out for further reference.

Waveform inversion requires extracting a reliable low frequency content of seismic data for estimating of the low wave number velocity model. The low frequency content of the seismic data is usually discarded or neglected because of the band-limited response of the source and the receivers. In this study, however small the spectral of the low frequency seismic data is, we assume that it is possible to extract a reliable phase information of the low frequency from the seismic data and use it in waveform inversion. To this end, we exploit the frequency domain finite element modeling and source-receiver reciprocity to calculate the $Frech\`{e}t$ derivative of the phase of the seismic data with respect to the earth model parameter such as velocity, and then apply a damped least squares method to invert the phase of the seismic data. Through numerical example, we will attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of our method in estimating the correct velocity model for prestack depth migration.

An experimental study is presented for the effect of number of terms of a pewee series type stress function on stress analysis around a hole in tensile loaded plate. The hybrid method coupling photoelastsic data inputs and complex variable formulations involving conformal mappings and analytical continuity is used to calculate tangential stress on the boundary of the hole in uniaxially loaded, finite width tensile plate. In order to measure isochromatic data accurately, actual photoelastic fringe patterns are two times multiplied and sharpened by digital image processing. For qualitative comparison, actual fringes are compared with calculated ones. For quantitative comparison, percentage errors and standard deviations with respect to percentage errors are caculated for all measured points by changing the number of terms of stress function. The experimental results indicate that stress concentration factors analyzed by the hybrid method are accurate within three percent compared with ones obtained by theoretical and finite element analysis.

이 연구에서 복소 전기비저항을 이용한 2차원 IP 모델링 알고리듬과 이를 이용한 역산 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 복소 전기비저항을 이용한 IP 탐사기법은 크기인 전기비저항과 위상정보를 제공함으로써 지하의 수리지질학적인 특성 및 내부 공극수 종류 등 다양한 정보의 제공이 가능하여 활용성이 확대되고 있다. IP 탐사 모델링 및 역산 알고리듬은 기존의 전기비저항 모델링 및 역산 알고리듬을 복소 연산을 포함하도록 확장함으로써 개발되었다. IP 모델링은 유한요소법을 이용한 2.5차원 모델링 알고리듬을, 역산 알고리듬으로는 평활화 제한을 가한 감쇠 최소자승법을 이용하였다. 모델링의 검증에는 슐럼버저 배열에 대하여 3차원 층서모형에 수치필터링을 이용한 1차원 모델링 결과와 비교하였으며, 쌍극자 배열에 대하여 고립이상체 모형에 3차원 적분방정식 IP 모델링 알고리듬과 비교하여 그 타당성을 확인하였다. 역산의 타당성을 확인하기 위하여 전기비저항 및 위상 중 하나는 배경매질과 동일하고 다른 물성 하나만 차이를 가지는 모델에 대하여 역산 실험을 수행하였으며, 전기비저항 및 위상 이상체를 정확히 영상화하고 있음을 확인하였다. 역산의 실제 복잡한 지질모델에의 적용성을 확인하기 위해, 3차원 층서구조 내에 두 번째 층의 일부에 위상 이상체가 존재하는 모형을 설정하여 수치실험을 수행한 결과 전기비저항 단면에서는 이상체가 잘 확인되지 않으나, 위상 단면에서 그 이상체가 명확히 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.
