The strength evaluation of a wheel is becoming very important due to the high speed of railway system and the reduction of wheel weight. Therefore, in this study, the influence of thermal stress at tread breaking in Korean High Speed Train wheel was investigated using FEM. During FEM analysis, the mechanical load or wheel-rail contract load and braking load were considered. When 300% of the block force was applied, the maximum von Mises stress of 61.0 ㎫ was found at the outside plate around 400mm far away from the wheel center.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the distribution of stress in the surrounding bone around implant placed in the first and second molar region. Two different three-dimensional finite element model were designed according to vertical bone level around fixture ($4.0mm{\times}11.5mm$) on the second molar region. A mandibular segment containing two implant-abutments and a two-unit bridge system was molded as a cancellous core surrounded by a 2mm cortical layer. The mesial and distal section planes of the model were not covered by cortical bone and were constrained in all directions at the nodes. Two vertical loads and oblique loads of 200 N were applied at the center of occlusal surface (load A) or at a position of 2mm apart buccally from the center (load B). Von-Mises stresses were analyzed in the supporting bone. The results were as follows; 1. With the vertical load at the center of occlusal surface, the stress pattern on the cortical and cancellous bones around the implant on model 1 and 2 was changed, while the stress pattern on the cancellous bone with oblique load was not. 2. With the vertical load at the center of occlusal surface, the maximum von-Mises stress appeared in the outer distal side of the cortical bone on Model 1 and 2, while the maximum von-Mises stress appeared in the distal and lingual distal side of the cortical bone with oblique load. 3. With the vertical load at a position of 2 mm apart buccally from the center, there was the distribution of stress on the upper portion of the implant-bone interface and the cortical bone except for the cancellous bone, while there was a distribution of stress on the cancellous bones at the apical and lingual sides around the fixture and on the cortical bone with oblique load. 4. With the changes of the supporting bone on the second molar area, the stress pattern on the upper part of the cortical bone between two implants was changed, while the stress pattern on the cancellous bone was not. The results of this study suggest that establishing the optimum occlusal contact considering the direction and position of the load from the standpoint of stress distribution of surrounding bone will be clinically useful.

In many dynamic seals such as lip seal and compression packings, it is well known that wear occur at the surface of heat treated steel shaft as results of the intervened wear particle. It is widely understood that the dominant wear mechanism related in sealing surfaces is abrasive wear. However, little analytical and experimental studies about this problems have been done until now. In this paper, a contact analysis is carried out using MARC to investigate the wear mechanism in contact seal applications considering elastomeric seal, a elastic perfect-plastic micro-spherical particle and steel surface. Deformed seal shapes, contact and von-Mises stress distributions for various particle sizes and interference are showed. The maximum von-Mises stress within steel shaft was exceeded its yield strength and plastic deformation occurred at steel surface. Therefore, the sealing surface can be also worn by sub-surface fatigue due to wear particles together with well known abrasion. The numerical methods and models used in this paper can be applied in design of dynamic sealing systems, and further intensive studies are required.

Objective : The offset connector can allow medial and lateral variability and facilitate intralaminar screw incorporation into the construct. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of C7 intralaminar screw constructs with and without offset connector using a three dimensional finite element model of a C6-7 cervical spine segment. Methods : Finite element models representing C7 intralaminar screw constructs with and without the offset connector were developed. Range of motion (ROM) and maximum von Mises stresses in the vertebra for the two techniques were compared under pure moments in flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation. Results : ROM for intralaminar screw construct with offset connector was less than the construct without the offset connector in the three principal directions. The maximum von Misses stress was observed in the C7 vertebra around the pedicle in both constructs. Maximum von Mises stress in the construct without offset connector was found to be 12-30% higher than the corresponding stresses in the construct with offset connector in the three principal directions. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that the intralaminar screw fixation with offset connector is better than the construct without offset connector in terms of biomechanical stability. Construct with the offset connector reduces the ROM of C6-7 segment more significantly compared to the construct without the offset connector and causes lower stresses around the C7 pedicle-vertebral body complex.

Movable weirs with multi-stage control are necessary in many Korean rivers to actively control the water storage level. A mesh dependency test was performed to determine the appropriate number of meshes for structural analysis of movable weirs. The standing angles of movable weirs were set to 60°, 45°, 30°, and 15° for stress analysis. The standing angle of 0° was excluded from the analysis because it was unloaded. Changes in the standing angle led to changes in the water depth, maximum pressure, maximum strain, and maximum stress. The maximum average stress and the structural safety of the multi-stage control movable weir were computed and tested using the Ansys FEA software package.

The Taguchi method is applied to obtain the optimal design of an automotive pedal arm in consideration of the stiffness test specification. Design parameters are defined to describe shape of the pedal arm. Volume, maximum Von-Mises stress and maximum displacement of the pedal arm are established as the smaller-the-better characteristics. Optimal parameters are determined on the basis of the analyzed level averages of the characteristics.

A solar power generator is usually installed outdoors and it is exposed to extreme environments such as snow weight and wind loading. The solar tracker structure should be designed to have sufficient stiffness and strength against such loads. In this paper, simulations are performed by varying the parameters such as wind directions, wind speeds and the pose of the solar panel to evaluate the effects of extreme wind on solar tracker. As the effects of wind load, maximum displacement and maximum equivalent stress in the solar tracker are calculated. Finite element stress analysis is carried out by using the pressure distribution that is obtained by prior wind load analysis due to the flow around the solar tracker. The stress analysis of solar tracker to check and/or improve structural robustness provides some useful instructions for structural design or revision of solar tracker.

A structural safety evaluation was conducted for the stabbing system for the pre-piling jacket substructure currently being developed in South Korea, considering pile construction errors due to its lateral movement that may occur during construction in the ocean. Based on (1) the maximum stress generated by the stabbing system, (2) the maximum rotational displacement of the guide cone, and (3) the maximum stress generated by the horizontal hydraulic pressure cylinder, the structural safety of the stabbing system was examined under the initial loading condition and three possible load combinations during its construction. In order to evaluate the structural safety of the stabbing system, a concept of stress safety factor (= Yield stress / Max. Von-Mises stress) was used. It was found that the stabbing system considered in this study has a sufficient margin of safety.

본 연구에서는 LPG 용기용 가스밸브의 강도 안전성과 몸체의 경량화 해석을 9개의 밸브모델에 대하여 유한요소해석 프로그램 MARC 및 다구찌의 실험적 설계법을 사용하였다. 가스밸브의 몸체에 작용하는 Von Mises 최대응력은 밸브에 작용하는 최대가스압력 $91kg/cm^2$을 적용하여 황동밸브 구조물의 안전성을 고찰하였다. 여기서 최대압력 $91kg/cm^2$은 LPG 가스용기의 안전계수를 고려한 것으로 안전성 해석이나 최적설계를 수행하는데 충분한 작동압력이다. 밸브몸체의 자중량을 줄이기 위해 수행된 해석은 LPG가스의 유동손실을 줄이고, 최적설계에 따라 소재가격을 낮출 수 있기 때문에 설계단계에서 고려해야 할 하나의 주요변수이다. 계산결과에 따르면, 최적설계 밸브모델은 9번이고, 이때의 최적설계 변수는 가스가 통과하는 밸브의 아래쪽 A의 반경 r=10mm, 위쪽 B의 반경 r=6mm, A와 B의 연결부 파이프 길이 l=2 mm로 결정되었다.

전자패키지 크기의 소형화와 전자기기의 성능 향상이 함께 이루어지면서 높은 입출력 밀도 구현이 중요한 요소로서 평가받고 있다. 이를 구현하기 위해 팬아웃 웨이퍼 레벨 패키지(FO-WLP)가 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 FO-WLP는 휨(Warpage) 현상에 취약하다는 약점이 있다. 휨 현상은 생산 수율 감소와 더불어 패키지 신뢰성 하락에 큰 원인이므로 이를 최소화하는 것이 필수적이다. 유한요소해석을 이용한 재질의 물성 등 FO-WLP의 휨 현상과 연관된 요소에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔지만, 대부분의 연구는 이러한 요소들의 불확실성을 고려하지 않았다. 재질의 물성, 칩의 위치 등 패키지의 휨 현상과 연관된 요소들은 제조 측면에서 보았을 때 불확실성을 가지고 있기 때문에, 실제 결과와 더 가깝게 모사하기 위해서는 이러한 요소들의 불확실성이 고려되어야 한다. 이번 연구에서는 FO-WLP 과정 중 칩의 탄성 계수가 정규 분포를 따르는 불확실성을 가졌을 때 휨 현상에 미치는 영향을 유한요소해석을 통해 알아보았다. 그 결과 칩의 탄성 계수의 불확실성이 최대 von Mises 응력에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. Von Mises 응력은 전체 패키지 신뢰성과 관련된 인자이기 때문에 칩의 물성에 대한 불확실성 제어가 필요하다.
