Static performance was compared for the triangular plate elements through some numerical experiments. Four Kirchhoff elements and six Mindlin elements were selected for the comparison. Numerical tests were executed for the problems of rectangular plates with regular and distorted meshes, rhombic plates, circular plates and cantilever plates. Among the Kirchhoff 9 DOF elements, the discrete Kirchhoff theory element was the best. Element distortion and the aspect ratio were shown to have negligible effects on the displacement behaviour. The Specht's element resulted in better results than the Bergan's but it was sensitive to the aspect ratio. The element based on the hybrid stress method also resulted in good results but it assumed to be less reliable. Among the linear Mindlin elements, the discrete shear triangle was the best in view of reliability, accuracy and convergence. Since the thin plate behaviour of it was as good as the DKT element, it can be used effectively in the finite element code regardless of the thickness. As a quadratic Mindlin element, the MITC7 element resulted in best results in almost all cases considered. The results were at least as good as those of doubly refined meshes of linear elements.

무요소기법이 공통적으로 내재하고 있는 수치적분의 부정확성을 해결하기 위해, 페트로프-갤러킨 자연요소법이라 불리는 향상된 자연요소법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 라플라스 기저함수를 시도 형상함수로 사용하는 반면, 시험 형상함수로서 델라우니 삼각형이 지지영역이 되는 함수를 새롭게 정의한다. 이러한 접근은 통상적인 적분영역과 적분함수 지지영역간의 불일치를 제거하게 하며, 이는 적용이 편리할 뿐만 아니라 수치적분의 정확성을 보장한다 본 논문에서는 2차윈 선형 탄성의 대표적인 검증문제를 통하여 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증한다. 비교를 위해 기존의 부브노프-갤러킨 자연요소법과 일정 변형률 유한요소법을 이용한 해석을 동시에 수행한다. 조각 시험과 수렴율 평가를 통해 제안된 기법의 우수성을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose the shape of extremely small thrust VCM for application of the Nanoindenter, which enables control of very small force and displacement. We performed optimization of the VCM shape using conjugated gradient method. And the purposes of optimization are the minimization of the permanent magnet size for the efficient systems, minimization of deviation of flux density from the air gap for operate on regular thrust and a linearization of thrust for a good control characteristic. The finite element method is used for characteristic analysis. The node moving method is used to redundant changes of design variables. As a result, the VCM produces a yew small force by the difference of flux density of lower part from higher one. Also, in a wide range of current (0［A］-1［A］), the VCM produces linear driving thrust by saturating the magnetic circuit path and operate on regular thrust by minimizing deviation of flux density of the air gap.

In this study, to investigate the effect of process variables such as reduction in area, semi-die angle and the rectangular ratio to the corner filling which influences the dimensional accuracy of the final product in the drawing of the cluadrangle rod from a round bar, it has been simulated by three dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method. In order to reduce the number of simulation artificial neural network has been introduced. Also, through the experimental investigation, the present results have been implemented on the industrial product. In results, the main process variable is the combination of the semi-die angle in case of the irregular shaped drawing process and reduction in area in the event of regular shaped drawing process, respectively.

The effect of the core cell shape on shock absorption characteristics of biomimetically inspired honeycomb structures has been numerically investigated. The finite element models of honeycomb test specimen composed of five core cells of identical mass have been constructed, and numerical simulations have been run on PAMCRASH. The dimensions of the sides of core cells as well as the angle between the sides have been shown to influence the shock absorption characteristics of the honeycomb structure. The specimen with regular hexagonal core cell shape is found to show the best shock absorbing capacity, and specimen with rectangle-like core cell are found to provide good shock absorbing characteristics.

Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) have been accepted widely as an effective lateral load resisting system. For seismic performance evaluation of a multi-story building with SPSWs, detailed finite element models or a strip model can be used to represent the SPSW components. However, such models often require significant effort for tall or medium height buildings. In order to simplify the analysis process, discrete elements for the framing members can be used. This paper presents development of a simplified equivalent braced model to study the behavior of the SPSWs. The proposed model is expected to facilitate a simplification to the structural modeling of large buildings with SPSWs in order to evaluate the seismic performance using regular structural analysis tools. It is observed that the proposed model can capture the global behavior of the structures quite accurately and potentially aid in the performance-based seismic design of SPSW buildings.

In the country where the population concentrates in the metropolis with the narrow land, development of the ocean space is necessary. Recently, mega-float offshore structure has been studied as one of the effective utilization of the ocean space. And very large floating structures are now being considered for various applications such as floating airports, offshore cities and so on. This very large structure is relatively flexible compared with real floating structures like large ships. when we estimate dynamic responses of these structures in waves, the elastic deformation is important, because vertical dimension is small compared with horizontal. And it is necessary to examine the effect of ocean wave external force received from the natural environment. In this study, the mat-type large floating structure is made to be analytical model. And the analysis of the dynamic response as it receives regular wave is studied. The finite element method is used in the analysis of structural section of this model. And the analysis is carried out using the boundary element method in the fluid division. The validity of analysis method is verified in comparison with the experimental result in the Japan Ministry of Transport Ship Research Institution. In order to know the characteristics of the dynamic response of the large floating structures, effects of wavelength, bending rigidity of the structure, water depth, and wave direction on dynamic response of the floating structure are studied by use of numerical calculation.

One of the most common defects in reinforced concrete bridge decks is corrosion of steel reinforcing bars. This invisible defect reduces the deck stiffness and affects the bridge's serviceability. Regular monitoring of the bridge is required to detect and control this type of damage and in turn, minimize repair costs. Because the corrosion is hidden within the deck, this type of damage cannot be easily detected by visual inspection and therefore, an alternative damage detection technique is required. This research develops a non-destructive method for detecting reinforcing bar corrosion. Experimental modal analysis, as a non-destructive testing technique, and finite element (FE) model updating are used in this method. The location and size of corrosion in the reinforcing bars is predicted by creating a finite element model of bridge deck and updating the model characteristics to match the experimental results. The practicality and applicability of the proposed method were evaluated by applying the new technique to a two spans bridge for monitoring steel bar corrosion. It was shown that the proposed method can predict the location and size of reinforcing bars corrosion with reasonable accuracy.

In this research, a numerical study has been provided for examining the nonlinear stability behaviors of sandwich beams having a cellular core and two face sheets made of nanocomposites. The nonlinear stability behaviors of the sandwich beam having geometrically perfect/imperfect shapes have been studied when it is subjected to a compressive buckling load. The nanocomposite face sheets are made of epoxy reinforced by graphene oxide powders (GOPs). Also, the core has the shape of a honeycomb with regular configuration. Using finite element method based on a higher-order deformation beam element, the system of equations of motions have been solved to derive the stability curves. Several parameters such as face sheet thickness, core wall thickness, graphene oxide amount and boundary conditions have remarkable influences on stability curves of geometrically perfect/imperfect sandwich beams.

When a large ship is advancing in waves, it undergoes hydroelastic response, which affects the structural stability and the fatigue destruction of the ship. Therefore, to predict an accurate hydroelastic response, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of hydroelastic response, including fluid-structure interactions. In this research, the ship is divided into many hull elements, to calculate the fluid forces and wave exciting forces on each element. Using the three-dimensional source distribution method, the calculated fluid forces and wave exciting forces are assigned to nodes of the hull elements. The neighbor nodes are connected with elastic beam elements. We analyzed hydroelastic responses, using the finite elements method.
