In this study the occlusion of dural-sac. the outer membrane of spinal cord in the lumbar region. was quantitatively analyzed using one motion segment finite element model. Occlusion was quantified by calculating cross sectional area change of dural-sac for different compressive impact duration (loading rate) due to bony fragment at the posterior wall of the cortical shell in vertebral body. Dural-sac was occluded most highly in the range of 8∼12 msec impact duration by the bony fragment intruding into the spinal canal. $\Delta$t = 400 msec case 4 % cross sectional area change was calculated. which is the same as the cross sectional area change under 6 kN of static compressive loading.

In order to produce high-quality optical components, aspheric lenses have been widely applied in recent years. An aspheric lens consists of aspheric surfaces instead of spherical ones, which causes difficulty in the design process as well as the manufacturing procedure. Although injection molding is widely used to fabricate optical lenses owing to its high productivity, there remains lots of difficulty to determine appropriate mold design factors and injection molding parameters. In the injection molding fields, computer simulation has been effectively applied to analyze processes based on the shell analysis so far. Considering the geometry of optical lenses, a full-3d simulation based on solid elements has been reported as a reliable approach. The present work covers three-dimensional injection molding simulation and relevant deformation analysis of an injection molded plastic lens based on 3d solid elements. Numerical analyses have been applied to the injection molding processes of three aspheric lenses for an image sensing module of a mobile phone. The reliability of the proposed approach has been verified in comparison with the experimental results.

In this paper, the effect of wrinkling on the cut propagation direction of thin membrane was studied using geometrically nonlinear shell element post-buckling analysis. In the analysis, rectangular tensile membrane configuration with a slanted center cut was considered. The cut propagation direction was predicted by maximum energy release rate method, $K_{II}$-zero method, and maximum tangential stress method. The cut propagation angle and the $J$-integral values were calculated for the wrinkled and unwrinkled cases and the results were compared. Various initial cut orientation angles were considered and the effect on the propagation direction was studied. The cut propagation paths were also predicted by virtual cut extension approach.

In this work, we prepared Fe-Ni alloy nanopowders by wire electrical explosion in deionized water and ethanol. Particles size and morphology of the as-synthesized nanoparticles prepared in water and ethanol were observed by transmission electron microscopy. In both cases, the as-synthesized nanoparticles were in nearly spherical shape and their size distribution was broad. The particles prepared in the water were in core-shell structure due to the oxidation of Fe element. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the phase of the nanopowders. It showed that the nanopowders prepared in water had ${\gamma}$-Fe-Ni solid solution and FeO phase. The samples obtained in ethanol were in two phases of Fe-Ni solid solution, ${\gamma}$-Fe-Ni and ${\alpha}$-Fe-Ni. Bulk samples were made from the as-synthesized nanopowders by spark plasma sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Structure of the bulk sample was observed by scanning electron microscope. Magnetic properties of the as-synthesized nanopowders and the bulk samples were investigated by vibrating sample magnetometer. The hysteresis loop of the assynthesized nanopowders and the sintered bulk samples revealed a ferromagnetic characteristic.

The modified arc-length algorithms for the automatic incremental solution of nonlinear finite element equations proposed by Riks are presented, which comprise the cylindrical arc-length method and the normal arc-length method. These methods are developed to trace the nonlinear path of large displacement problems such as a pre and post bucking/collapse response of general structures. These methods are applied to analyse the nonlinear behavior of arch and shell problems in parallel with the standard and modified Newton-Raphson method.

A ship is composed of many grillage structures especially the deck which is consists of primary girders, transverse and longitudinal members. Several holes are arranged on these primary members for pipes, vents, etc. which cause stress concentration due to the discontinuity of the member. It is not easy to get the stress values around all these holes because of the huge amount of time necessary for computations. In this paper, a simple method to compute for the stress around the holes is suggested. This method is composed of two steps which are grillage analysis for primary members and detailed stress analysis using the results of the grillage analysis. This method is made for the design of the primary members with openings supporting the deck structure.

Although the holes on the shell case are very important fer the acoustic performance, it is difficult to solve the problem because the case includes thin bodies. Hence, in the past, only the method of trial and error, which depends on the engineer's intuition and experience, was available fur the design of holes. Many researchers have tried to solve the thin-body acoustic problems, since the conventional boundary element method (BEM ) using the Helmholtz integral equation fails to yield a reliable solution fer the numerical modelling of radiation anti scattering of sound from thin bodies. In the area of the analysis of thin-body acoustic problem, three approaches are generally used; the multi-domain BEM, the indirect variational BEM, and the normal derivative integral equation And there has been just a f9w study reported on the design optimization for the acoustic radiation problems by using only the conventional BEM. For the thin-body acoustics, however, no further study in the optimization fields has been reported. In this research, the normal derivative integral equation is adopted as an analysis formulation in the thin-body acoustics, and then used fur the optimization. The analytical approaches for the design of holes are proposed by using a topology optimization technique and a genetic algorithm. The proposed approaches are implemented and validated using numerical examples.

The propeller induced pressure fluctuation around a ship's stern is one of the interesting problems from viewpoints of the noise and vibration. Most of the experimental works on the subject employ pressure transducer attached on hull surface near the propeller. In the technique, the measured pressure includes the hydrodynamic pressure transducer attached, if they exit. Hence, the separation of the additional pressure due to vibration from the measured pressure is essential for the determination of true values of the propeller induced pressure. In this paper, to contribute to the separation method, the author investigated the additional hydrodynamic pressure as below, based on the numerical calculation. (1) Hydrodynamic pressure on the body surface of two dimensional cylinders of some mathematical sections such as ellipse, rectangle, Lewis form of hypotrocoidal charactor and curvilinear-element section with chines oscillating vertically at high frequency in a free surface. (2) Hydrodynamic pressure on the surface of the shell plate in local vibration in an ideal fluid.

One and three dimensional whipping response analyses of a naval surface combatant subjected to an underwater explosion bubble pulse were carried out to compare the efficiency and accuracy according to the modeling methods. In 1-D analysis, program UNDEXWHIP developed by KIMM was used, which is based on the thin-walled Timoshenko's beam theory and on the modal analysis method using wetted vibratory modes of the hull girder. In 3-D analysis, three finite element models were suggested using LS-DYNA/USA code, such as 3-D beam model considering geometric shape of wetted side shell, coarse and fine 3-D F.E. models. Through the comparison of results from the 1-D and 3-D analyses, it could be confirmed that 1-D analysis result is in good agreement with 3-D analysis ones, and that fine 3-D F.E. model, shock analysis one, is also used both in the shock response and whipping response analyses for the analyst effort and time savings.
