The numerical analysis of the hard disk drive slider is presented. The pressure distribution was calculated using the finite element method. The generalized Reynolds equation was applied in order to include the gas rarefaction effect. The balance of the air bearing force and preload force was considered. The characteristics of the small vibrations near the equilibrium were studied using the perturbation method. Triangular mesh with variable element size was employed to model the two-rail slider. The flying height, pitching angle, rolling angle, stiffness and damping of the two-rail slider were calculated for radial position changing from the inner radius to the outer radius and for a wide range of the slider crown values. It was found that the flying height, pitching angle and rolling angle were increased with radial position while the stiffness and damping coefficients were decreased. The higher values of crown resulted in increased flying height, pitching angle and damping and decreased stiffness.

We develop a method to analyze dynamic behavior off multi-stage gear train system. The example system consists of three shafts supported by ball bearings at the ends of them and two pairs of spur gear set. For exact analysis, the meshing tooth pair of gear set is modeled as spring and damper having time-dependent meshing stiffness and damping. The bearing is modeled as spring. The result of this analysis is compared to that of other model having mean mesh stiffness. The effect of the excitation force by the unbalance off rotor off motor is also analyzed. Finally, the change ova natural frequency of the whole system due to the change of an angle between three shafts is compared in each case, and from this analysis, the avoiding angle for design is advised.

본 논문에서는 2차원 입력 형상에 대하여 계층 메쉬를 이용한 빠르고, 품질 저하가 적은 평면 형상변형 기법을 제시한다. 입력으로 주어진 2차원형상의 내부와 경계를 조밀하게 샘플링한 정점의 집합으로 구성된 형상 메쉬와, 입력 형상을 근사적으로 둘러싸는 형상 메쉬의 일부 정점으로 구성된 제어 메쉬를 구성한다. 이때, 형상 메쉬 정점은 제어 메쉬의 정점에 대한 평균값 좌표로 표현한다. 사용자의 형상 변형 입력에 대하여 기존의 비선형 최소자승법을 사용한 메쉬 최적화문제를 풀어 제어 메쉬 정점의 변형될 위치를 구하고, 형상 메쉬는 변형된 제어 메쉬의 정점으로부터 평균값 좌표를 이용하여 최종적인 형상의 변형을 빠르게 계산한다. 형상 메쉬는 입력 형상을 정확히 표현하기 위해 많은 수의 정점으로 구성되는 반면에 제어 메쉬는 상대적으로 적은 수의 정점으로 구성된다. 계산양이 많은 최적화 방법은 제어 메쉬에만 적용되기 때문에 전체 수행시간은 매우 빠르지만, 제어 메쉬의 품질저하에 따라 형상변형의 품질 또한 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 형상 변형의 결과를 조절하고 품질 저하를 보정하기 위해서 사용자 제한에 방위 제어를 포함시켜 형상변형의 강성도를 조절하는 방법을 제시한다. 실험적인 결과에 의하면 본 논문에서 제시한 방법은 비교적 적은 수의 정점을 사용하여 형상 변형의 수행속도가 빠르면서, 변형의 시각적인 품질은 부드럽게 유지된다. 본 논문의 결과는 휴대폰이나 타블렛 PC와 같이 계산속도가 느린 임베디드 시스템에서 형상 변형을 이용한 2차원 애니메이션 제작과 같은 응용문제에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

가상 시뮬레이션을 이용한 의류 디자인 개발에서는 가상과 실제의 차이가 최소화되어야 한다. 가상 의상과 실제 의상의 유사성을 높이는 데에 가장 기본이 되는 작업은 의상 제작에 사용될 옷감의 물성을 최대한 유사하게 표현할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 파라미터를 찾는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 파라미터 최적화 절차에는 전문가의 수작업으로 이루어지는 튜닝 과정이 포함되는데, 이 작업은 높은 전문성과 많은 시간이 요구된다. 특히 조정된 시뮬레이션 파라미터를 적용한 결과를 다시 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 반복적으로 실행할 때 많은 시간이 소요된다. 최근 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 파라미터 튜닝에 주로 사용되는 드레이프 테스트 시뮬레이션 결과를 빠르게 추정하는 인공신경망 학습 모델이 제안되었다. 하지만 기존 연구에서는 비교적 간단한 선형 강성 모델을 사용하였으며 드레이프 시뮬레이션 전체를 추정하는 대신 일부만 추정하고 나머지는 보간하는 방식을 사용하였다. 실제 의류 디자인 개발 과정에서는 주로 비선형 강성 모델이 적용된 시뮬레이터가 사용되지만, 이에 대한 연구는 아직 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 강성 모델을 대상으로 드레이프 시뮬레이션 결과를 추정하기 위한 새로운 학습 모델을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안된 학습 모델은 시뮬레이션 결과인 고해상도 메시 모델 전체를 추정한다. 제시하는 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해 세 가지 드레이프 테스트 방식을 대상으로 실험을 진행하여 추정 정확도를 평가한다.

In modern automobile body manufacturing, the structural adhesive bonding is recognized to one of new joining techniques for the purpose of light weight body and its application scope in the automobile body has been gradually magnified. Specially, the structural adhesives have the advantages of not only enhancing the design flexibility of automobile body, but also improving automobile performances such as stiffness, crashworthiness and durability. In order to evaluate the performance simulation of the automobile body applied with structural adhesives, it is necessary to develop modeling techniques in the structural adhesives in advance. This paper aims to investigate modeling methodology of structural adhesive junctions for body stiffness simulation. Two main modeling points are the element selection for adhesives and the connectivity between adhesives and adherends. Both of the 1D element used in classical modeling and the 3D element which are more accurate are considered for the adhesives, and the congruent and incongruent mesh models of the adherends are compared for connectivity modeling. By applying the several kinds of modeling methodology to the simple structures, the simulation results are compared and some modeling guidelines are obtained.

Vector algorithms and the relative importance of the four basic modules (computation of element stiffness matrices, assembly of the global stiffness matrix, solution of the system of linear simultaneous equations, and calculation of stresses and strains) of a finite element computer program for inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete shells are presented. Performance of the vector program is compared with a scalar program. For a cooling tower problem, the speedup factor from the scalar to the vector program is 34 for the element stiffness matrices calculation, 25.3 for the assembly of global stiffness matrix, 27.5 for the equation solver, and 37.8 for stresses, strains and nodal forces computations on a Gray Y-MP. The overall speedup factor is 30.9. When the equation solver alone is vectorized, which is computationally the most intensive part of a finite element program, a speedup factor of only 1.9 is achieved. When the rest of the program is also vectorized, a large additional speedup factor of 15.9 is attained. Therefore, it is very important that all the modules in a nonlinear program are vectorized to gain the full potential of the supercomputers. The vector finite element computer program for inelastic analysis of RC shells with layered elements developed in the present study enabled us to perform mesh convergence studies. The vector program can be used for studying the ultimate behavior of RC shells and used as a design tool.

The shape optimization of composite flexbeam sections of a bearingless helicopter rotor is studied using a finite element (FE) sectional analysis integrated with an efficient evolutionary optimization algorithm called particle swarm assisted genetic algorithm (PSGA). The sectional optimization framework is developed by automating the processes for geometry and mesh generation, and the sectional analysis to compute the elastic and inertial properties. Several section shapes are explored, modeled using quadratic B-splines with control points as design variables, through a multiobjective design optimization aiming minimum torsional stiffness, lag bending stiffness, and sectional mass while maximizing the critical strength ratio. The constraints are imposed on the mass, stiffnesses, and critical strength ratio corresponding to multiple design load cases. The optimal results reveal a simpler and better feasible section with double-H shape compared to the triple-H shape of the baseline where reductions of 9.46%, 67.44% and 30% each are reported in torsional stiffness, lag bending stiffness, and sectional mass, respectively, with critical strength ratio greater than 1.5.

Single span historic bridges often contain non-prismatic members identified with a varying depth along their span lengths. Commonly, the symmetric parabolic height variations having the constant haunch length ratio of 0.5 have been selected to lower the stresses at the high bending moment points and to maintain the deflections within the acceptable limits. Due to their non-prismatic geometrical configuration, their assessment, particularly the computation of fixed-end horizontal forces (FEFs) and fixed-end moments (FEMs) becomes a complex problem. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the behavior of non-prismatic beams with symmetrical parabolic haunches (NBSPH) having the constant haunch length ratio of 0.5 using finite element analyses (FEA). FEFs and FEMs due to vertical loadings as well as the stiffness coefficients and the carry-over factors were computed through a comprehensive parametric study using FEA. It was demonstrated that the conventional methods using frame elements can lead to significant errors, and the deviations can reach to unacceptable levels for these types of structures. Despite the robustness of FEA, the generation of FEFs and FEMs using the nodal outputs of the detailed finite element mesh still remains an intricate task. Therefore, this study advances to propose effective formulas and dimensionless estimation coefficients to predict the FEFs, FEMs, stiffness coefficients and carry-over factors with reasonable accuracy for the analysis and re-evaluation of the NBSPH. Using the proposed approach, the fixed-end reactions due to vertical loads, and also the stiffness coefficients and the carry-over factors of the NBSPH can be determined without necessitating the detailed FEA.

This paper presents experimental results on the behaviour and ultimate load of fifteen pipes and six roof panels made of ferrocement. Additional results from three roof panels, carried out by others, are also compared with this research results. OPC cement, natural sand and galvanised iron wire mesh were used for the construction of 20 mm thick specimens. The pipe length was 2 m and roof panel length was 2.1 m. The main variables studied were the number of wire mesh layers which were 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 layers, the inner pipe diameter which were 105, 210 and 315 mm, cross sectional shape of the panel which were channel and box sections and the depth of the edge beam which were 95 mm and 50 mm. All specimens were simply supported and tested for pure bending with test span of 600 mm at mid-span. Tests revealed that increasing the number of wire mesh layers increases the flexural strength and stiffness. Increasing the pipe diameter or depth of edge beam of the panel increases the cracking and ultimate moments. The change in the pipe diameter led to larger effect on ultimate moment than the effect of change in the number of wire mesh layers. The box section showed behaviour and strength similar to that of the channel with same depth and number of wire mesh layers.

Micro-vibration induced by on-board equipments such as fly-wheel and cryogenic cooler with mechanical moving parts affects the image quality of high-resolution observation satellite. Micro-vibration isolation system has been widely used for enhancing the pointing performance of observation satellites. In general, the micro-vibration isolation system requires a launch locking mechanism additionally to guarantee the structural safety of mission payloads supported by the isolation system with low stiffness under launch environment. In this study, we propose a passive launch and on-orbit vibration isolation system using shape memory alloy mesh washers for the micro-vibration isolation of spaceborne compressor, which does not require the additional launch locking mechanism. The basic characteristics of the isolator were measured in static and free vibration tests of the isolator, and a simple equivalent model of the isolator was proposed. The effectiveness of the isolator design in a launch environment was demonstrated through sine vibration, random vibration and shock tests.
