Thermo-fluid characteristics in coke oven, sintering machine and blast furnace in iron-making facility are key processes related to the quality and productivity of the pig iron. Solid material in the processes usually forms a bed in a gas flow. For simulation of the processes by mathematical model, the solid beds are idealized to be a continuum and a reacting solid flow in the gas flow. Governing equations in the form of partial differential equations for the solid material can be constructed based on this assumption. Iron ore sintering bed is simulated and limited amount of parametric study have been performed. The results have a good agreement with the experimental results or physical phenomena, which shows the validity and applicability of the model.

We present 2-dimensional continuum radiative transfer modeling for EC53. EC 53 is a Class I YSO, which was brightened at $850{\mu}m$ by a factor of 1.5. This luminosity variation was revealed by the JCMT Transient Survey. The increase in brightness is likely related to the enhanced accretion. We aim to investigate how much increase of protostellar luminosity causes the observed brightness increase at $850{\mu}m$. Thus we modeled the SED of EC 53 both in the quiescence and (small scale) outburst phases, with and without the external heating from the interstellar radiation field (ISRF). We found that the internal protostellar luminosity should increase more to fit the observed flux enhancement if the ISRF is considered in the model.

This paper presents the application of hybrid-simulation-based adapter elements for the non-linear two-scale analysis of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infills under seismic-like demands. The approach provides communication and distribution of the computations carried out by two or more remote or locally distributed numerical models connected through the OpenFresco Framework. The modeling consists of a global analysis formed by macro-elements to represent frames and walls, and to reduce global degrees of freedom, portions of the structure that require advanced analysis are substituted by experimental elements and dimensional couplings acting as interfaces with their respective sub-assemblies. The local sub-assemblies are modeled by solid finite elements where the non-linear behavior of concrete matrix and masonry infill adopt a continuum damage representation and the reinforcement steel a discrete one, the conditions at interfaces between concrete and masonry are considered through a contact model. The methodology is illustrated through the analysis of a frame-wall system subjected to lateral loads comparing the results of using macro-elements, finite element model and experimental observations. Finally, to further assess and validate the methodology proposed, the paper presents the pushover analysis of two more complex structures applying both modeling scales to obtain their corresponding capacity curves.

Sandwich structures with the superior mechanical properties such as high stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio, good thermal insulation, and high energy absorption capacity are used today in aerospace, automotive, marine, and civil engineering industries. These structures are composed of moderately stiff, thin face sheets that withstand the majority of transverse and in-plane loads, separated by a thick, lightweight core that resists shear forces. In this research, the finite element technique is used to simulate a sandwich panel with a truss core under axial compressive stress using ABAQUS software. A review of past experimental studies shows that the bondline between the core and face sheets plays a vital role in the critical failure load. Therefore, this modeling analyzes the damage initiation modes and debonding between face sheet and core by cohesive surface contact with traction-separation model. According to the results obtained from the modeling, it can be observed that the adhesive stiffness has a significant influence on the critical failure load of the specimens. To achieve the full strength of the structure as a continuum, a lower limit is obtained for the adhesive stiffness. By providing this limit stiffness between the core and the panel face sheets, sudden failure of the structure can be prevented.

본 연구에서는 개별요소법에 근거한 상용 수치해석 프로그램인 PFC2D를 이용하여 조립재인 쇄석의 전단특성 모델링을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 기존의 연속체 해석에서 고려하기 힘든 조립질 재료의 입도분포 및 공극, 불규칙한 형상을 모델링 할 수 있었다. 또한, 대형직접전단시험을 수행한 실험결과와 비교를 통해 입자특성과 관련한 조립질 재료의 고유 특성을 본 연구에서 모델링한 불연속체 모델링으로 모사할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 모델링 기법은 향후 다양한 입도 및 공극특성을 갖는 조립질 재료의 현장 강도 특성을 예측하는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

The disjoining pressure is critical in modeling the transport phenomena in small scales. They are very useful in characterizing the non-continuum effects that are not negligible in heat and mass transports in the film of less than submicro-scales. We present he disjoining pressure of thin film absorbed on solid substrate using Molecular Dynamics Simulation (MD). The disjoining pressure with respect to the film thickness is accurately calculated in the resolution of a molecular scale. The characteristics of the pressure are discussed regarding the molecular nature of the fluid system like molecular diameter and intermolecular interaction. Also, the MD results are compared with those based on the macroscopic approximation of the slab-like density profile. Significant discrepancy is observed when the effective film thickness is less than several molecular diameter

This research deals with the study of the orthotropic vibrational features of single-walled carbon nanotubes according to Kelvin's model and to check the accuracy of the models, the results have been compared with earlier modeling/simulations. Obtaining rough approximations of the natural frequencies of CNTs using continuum equations are still a common procedure, even at high harmonics. The effects of different physical and material parameters on the fundamental frequencies are investigated for zigzag and chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes invoking Kelvin's theory. By using nonlocal Kelvin's model, the fundamental natural frequency spectra for two forms of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been calculated. The influence of frequencies with nonlocal parameters and bending rigidity are investigated in detail for these tubes. Computer software MATLAB is utilized for the frequencies of SWCNTs and current results shows a good stability with comparison of other studies.

Finite element technique considering adhesive forces is proposed and applied to analyze the behavior of elastic hemispherical asperity adhesively contacting the plane surface of semi -infinite rigid body. It is demonstrated that the finite element model simulates interfacial phenomena such as jump -to-contact and adhesion hysteresis that cannot be simulated with the currently available adhesive contact continuum models. This simulation aiso provides valuable information on contact pressure, contact region and stress distributions. This technique is anticipated to be utilized in designing a low-adhesion surface profile for MEMS/NEMS applications since various contact geometries can be analyzed with this technique.

When ultrasound propagates to a crack, transmitted and reflected waves are generated. These waves have useful information for the detection of the crack lying in a structure. When a crack is under residual stress, crack surfaces will contact each other and a closed crack is formed. For closed cracks, the fundamental component of the reflected and transmitted waves will be weak, and as such it is not easy to detect them. In this case, higher harmonic components will be useful. In this paper, nonlinear characteristic of a closed crack is modeled by a continuum material having a tensile-compressive unsymmetry, and the amplitude of the second harmonic wave was obtained by spectrum analysis. Variation of the second harmonic component depending on the nonlinearity of the inclusion was investigated. Two-dimensional plane strain model is considered, and finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit is used.

In this paper, a hybrid boundary element technique is implemented to analyze nonlinear transient pile soil interaction in Gibson type nonhomeogenous soil. Inelastic modeling of soil media is presented by introducing a rational approximation to the continuum with nonlinear interface springs along the piles. Modified $\ddot{O}$zdemir's nonlinear model is implemented and systems of equations are coupled at interfaces for piles and pile groups. Linear beam column finite elements are used to model the piles and the resulting governing equations are solved using an implicit integration scheme. By enforcing displacement equilibrium conditions at each time step, a system of equations is generated which yields the solution. A numerical example is performed to investigate the effects of nonlinearity on the pile soil interaction.
