Among the soft ground improvement methods, PBD is the most common construction method because it is cheap and construction is fast. However, if the ground is rigid, additional work is required. In this study, the structural safety, natural vibration, and safety angle of the steel vertical tower structure were evaluated in the development of the PBD composite perforator which can be combined with drilling work and PBD construction. Structural safety was assessed when the wind load of 20 m/s was simultaneously applied to the PBD construction load of 20 tons, the perforating operation of 25 tons, and the wind speed of 50 m/s was applied only to the wind load. The natural frequencies were evaluated up to the sixth mode, and the safety angle was evaluated for static and dynamic safety angles.

The present paper provides experimental J estimation equation for the circumferential through-wall cracked pipe under four-point bending, based on the load-crack opening displacement (COD) record. Based on the limit analysis and the kinematically admissible rigid-body rotation field, the plastic ${\eta}$-factor for the load-COD record is derived and is compared with that for the load-load line displacement record. Comparison with the J results from detailed elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis shows that the proposed method based on the load-COD record provides reliable J estimates even for shallow cracks, whereas the conventional approach based on the load-load line displacement record gives erroneous results for shallow cracks. Thus, the proposed J estimation method could be recommended for testing the circumferential through-wall cracked pipe, particularly with shallow cracks.

This paper is concerned with the analysis on the surface stress profiles of perfectly plastic material in backward extrusion process. Due to heavy surface expansion appeared usually in the backward extrusion process, the tribological conditions along the interface between the material and the punch land are very severe. In the present study, the analyses have focused to reveal the surface conditions at the contact boundary for various punch shapes in terms of surface expansion, contact pressure, and relative movement between punch and workpiece which consists of sliding velocity and distance, respectively. Punch geometries adopted in the analysis include concave, hemispherical, pointed and ICFG recommended shapes. Extensive simulation has been conducted by applying the rigid-plastic finite element method to the backward extrusion process under different punch geometries. The simulation results are summarized in terms of surface expansion, contact pressure, sliding velocity and sliding distance at different reduction in height, deformation patterns, and load-stroke relationship, respectively.

Precision forming of electronic components has appeared to be competitive according to manufacturing cost and dimensional tolerances. Now domestic electronic companies have been involving in utilization of the finite element method in process design of precision forming. A forming process to produce an electronic component, aperture, has been inbestigated to find out forming defects during multi-operations. The applications of the commercial FEM software MARC show a possibility of defect in precision coining process among the whole multi-process. Thus the coining process of three-dimensional deformation is analyzed using DAMF-3D which has been developed in this lab with the rigid-plastic algorithm. The result f simulations by DAMF-3D provides clear description of the defect involved in the coining process.

The conventional and new forging processes of the power steering worm blank are analyzed by the rigid-plastic finite element method. The conventional process contains three stages such as indentation, extrusion and upsetting, which was designed by a forming equipment expert. Process conditions such as reduction in area, semi-die angle and upsetting ratio are considered to prevent internal or geometrical defects. The results of simulation of the conventional forging process are summarized in terms of deformation patterns, load-stroke relationships and die pressures for each forming operation. Based on the simulation results of the current three-stage, the power steering worm blank forging process for improving the conventional process sequence is designed. Die pressures and forming loads of proposed process are within limit value which is proposed by experts and the proposed process is found to be proper for manufacturing the power steering worm blank.

The comer filling in shaped drawing process is an important characteristic, unlike the round drawing. It has also influence on the dimensional accuracy of the product. In this study, therefore, the shaped drawing process has been simulated by the three dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method in order to investigate the effect of process variables such as reduction in area and semi-die angle to the corner filling. The artificial neural network has also been introduced to reduce the number of simulations. To verify the results of simulations, experiments have been performed on the real industrial products. According to the results, the main process variable on the corner filling is the combination of semi-die angle in the irregular shaped drawing processes, but in the case of regular shaped drawing processes, reduction in area has great influence on the corner filling.

This study aims detecting forming defects for the forming process of bearing rings, which is designed by an industry expert. The designed process consists of one forming operation for the outer ring and four operations for the inner ring. The thickness of the sheet used is 1.6mm, and is in between of thin sheet and bulk material. Here the rigid-plastic finite element method is applied to the analysis and design of the process without considering anisotropy of thin sheet. Thinning and folding defects are detected if the initially designed process is applied for manufacturing. so a new process is designed by referring the results of the FEM. It is confirmed that the industry expert agree the possibility of defects derived from FEM results.

The continuous confined strip shearing (CCSS) based on the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was modeled by means of a rigid-plastic two-dimensional finite element method (FEM). Parallel to the simulations, samples of AA 1050 sheets were experimentally deformed by CCSS. The CCSS deformation led to the formation of through thickness texture gradients comprising a strong shear texture in the sheet center and weak shear textures in the sheet surfaces. FEM analysis revealed variations in the strain component $\varepsilon_13$ along the sample thickness direction, which gave rise to the evolution of different textures. A high friction between the sample and die surface was responsible for lowering intensities of the shear texture components in thickness layers close to the surfaces.
