최근에 불연속 근사변위함수와 보조받침을 이용한 특이기저함수를 도입하여 균열의 불연속성과 특이성을 구현한 개선된 EFG(Element-Free Galerkin) 균열해석기법이 제안되었다. 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법은 균열의 성장에 따른 해석모형의 수정 없이도 높은 정확도로 균열전파해석을 수행할 수 있지만, 다른 무요소법과 마찬가지로 해석결과가 사용되는 해석계수에 의존하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 개선된 EFG 균열해석기법에서 사용하는 해석계수 즉, compact 받침 크기, 팽창계수, 선단주변에서의 형상함수의 평활화, 보조받침을 사용하는 절점개수가 수치해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 균열문제에 대한 patch 시험을 통해 응력에 대한 L₂오차노름과 응력확대계수를 산정하여 해석계수의 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 해석계수의 선택에 대한 지침으로 제시된다.

In the existing reports regarding free transverse vibrations of the Euler-Bernoulli beams, most of them studied a uniform beam carrying various concentrated elements (such as point masses, rotary inertias, linear springs, rotational springs, spring-mass systems, ${\ldots}$, etc.) or a stepped beam with one to three step changes in cross-sections but without any attachments. The purpose of this paper is to utilize the numerical assembly method (NAM) to determine the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes of the multiple-step Euler-Bernoulli beams carrying a number of lumped masses and rotary inertias. First, the coefficient matrices for an intermediate lumped mass (and rotary inertia), left-end support and right-end support of a multiple-step beam are derived. Next, the overall coefficient matrix for the whole vibrating system is obtained using the numerical assembly technique of the conventional finite element method (FEM). Finally, the exact natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes of the vibrating system are determined by equating the determinant of the last overall coefficient matrix to zero and substituting the corresponding values of integration constants into the associated eigenfunctions, respectively. The effects of distribution of lumped masses and rotary inertias on the dynamic characteristics of the multiple-step beam are also studied.

Shear walls have high stiffness and strength; however, they lack energy dissipation and repairability. In this study, an innovative slotted shear wall featuring vertical slots and steel energy dissipation connectors was developed. The ductility and energy dissipation of the shear wall were improved, while sufficient bearing capacity and structural stiffness were retained. Furthermore, the slotted shear wall does not support vertical forces, and thus it does not have to be arranged continuously along the height of the structure, leading to a much free arrangement of the shear wall. A frame-slotted shear wall structure that combines the conventional frame structure and the innovative shear wall was developed. To investigate the ductility and hysteretic behavior of the slotted shear wall, finite element models of two walls with different steel connectors were built, and pushover and quasi-static analyses were conducted. Numerical analysis results indicated that the deformability and energy dissipation were guaranteed only if the steel connectors yielded before plastic hinges in the wall limbs were formed. Finally, a modified D-value method was proposed to estimate the bearing capacity and stiffness of the slotted shear wall. In this method, the wall limbs are analogous to columns and the connectors are analogous to beams. Results obtained from the modified D-value method were compared with those obtained from the finite element analysis. It was found that the internal force and stiffness estimated with the modified D-value method agreed well with those obtained from the finite element analysis.

In this paper, several improved Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) methods containing singular expression in their approximation functions are compared one another through a patch test with near-tip field. Intrinsic enrichments that expand the basis function partially and fully with known near-tip displacement field and a local enrichment using auxiliary supports based on the partition of unity concept are examined by evaluating a relative stress norm error and the stress intensity factor. Some numerical examinations graphically show that how the size of compact support, dilation parameter and the diffraction parameter can affect the accuracy of the improved EFG methods in the error and the stress intensity factor.

자유학기제는 학생 참여 중심의 수업방법 개선과 진로교육 강화로 교육혁신을 추구하고 있으며, 이를 통하여 핵심역량의 함양을 목적으로 하고 있다. 변화하는 교육환경에서 학교도서관의 이용, 공공도서관의 지원 활동 현황과 개선 방안, 그리고 대학도서관과 문헌정보학과의 역할을 고찰하였다. 학교도서관은 핵심역량 함양에 효과적인 교육 인프라임에도 불구하고 활용도는 매우 낮으며, 공공도서관의 학교 지원 프로그램은 외부 특강과 탐방에 치우쳐 도서관의 자료와 서비스를 경험하는 기회를 제공하기에 미흡하다. 교육계가 공공도서관의 지원 활동에 큰 관심을 갖고 있으므로 학교도서관의 입지를 강화할 수 있는 협력 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다. 그리고 지역의 대학도서관과 문헌정보학과의 교수, 학생을 연계하여 직업체험, 진로교육, 그리고 역량 함양을 아우르는 입체적 교육 프로그램 개발에 공공도서관의 주도적 역할이 기대된다.

Sulfide segregation behavior, characteristics of solidification microstructure and compositional distribution in the riser/castings junction of heavy-section main bearing support (MBS) steel castings were investigated; Sulfide streaks of A segregation were formed in the transitional region from columnar grain to coarse equiaxed grain and floated with aggregation of the dendritic free crystal. Solute segregation behaviors of elements Si, P and S were V shape negative segregation from the bottom of the castings to upper part of the riser with the reference of vertical center-line of the specimen block. Those of elements C and Mn were V shape negative segregation in the main body and A shape positive segregation in the riser of the casting. Just beneath the pipe shrinkage in the riser segregation ratio of each element was the highest, and that of S was 3.6 times higher, C 3.3 times, P 2.1 times, Si 1.6 times and Mn 1.0 times respectively. [Mn/S] ratio of the specimen block was distributed in the wide range of 20~275.

Piezoelectric energy harvesting has attracted increasing attention over the last decade as a means for generating sustainable and long-lasting energy from wasted mechanical energy. To develop self-powered wearable devices, piezoelectric materials should be flexible, stretchable, and bio-eco-friendly. This study proposed the fabrication of stretchable piezoelectric composites via dispersing perovskite-structured BaTiO₃ nanoparticles inside an Ecoflex polymeric matrix. In particular, the stretchable piezoelectric sensor array was fabricated via a simple and cost-effective spin-coating process by exploiting the piezoelectric composite comprising of BaTiO₃ nanoparticles, Ecoflex matrix, and stretchable Ag coated textile electrodes. The fabricated sensor generated an output voltage of ~4.3 V under repeated compressing deformations. Moreover, the piezoelectric sensor array exhibited robust mechanical stability during mechanical pushing of ~5,000 cycles. Finite element method with multiphysics COMSOL simulation program was employed to support the experimental output performance of the fabricated device. Finally, the stretchable piezoelectric sensor array can be used as a self-powered touch sensor that can effectively detect and distinguish mechanical stimuli, such as pressing by a human finger. The fabricated sensor demonstrated potential to be used in a stretchable, lead-free, and scalable piezoelectric sensor array.

Inductive power transfer (IPT) technology allows for charging of electric vehicles with security, convenience and efficiency. However, the IPT system performance is mainly affected by the magnetic coupling structure which is largely determined by the coupling coefficient. In order to get this applied to electric vehicle charging systems, the power pads should be able to transmit stronger power and be able to better sustain various forms of deviations in terms of vertical, horizontal direction and center rotation. Thus, a novel cross-shaped magnetic coupling structure for IPT charging systems is proposed. Then an optimal cross-shaped magnetic coupling structure by 3-D finite-element analysis software is obtained. At marking locations with average parking capacity and no electronic device support, a prototype of a 720*720mm cross-shaped pad is made to transmit 5kW power at a 200mm air gap, providing a $1.54m^2$ full-power free charging zone. Finally, the leakage magnetic flux density is measured. It indicates that the proposed cross-shaped pad can meet the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) according to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA).

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the influence of prosthesis weight and number of implants on the bone tissue microstrain. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Fifteen (15) fixed full-arch implant-supported prosthesis designs were created using a modeling software with different numbers of implants (4, 6, or 8) and prosthesis weights (10, 15, 20, 40, or 60 g). Each solid was imported to the computer aided engineering software and tetrahedral elements formed the mesh. The material properties were assigned to each solid with isotropic and homogeneous behavior. The friction coefficient was set as 0.3 between all the metallic interfaces, 0.65 for the cortical bone-implant interface, and 0.77 for the cancellous bone-implant interface. The standard earth gravity was defined along the Z-axis and the bone was fixed. The resulting equivalent strain was assumed as failure criteria. RESULTS. The prosthesis weight was related to the bone strain. The more implants installed, the less the amount of strain generated in the bone. The most critical situation was the use of a 60 g prosthesis supported by 4 implants with the largest calculated magnitude of 39.9 mm/mm, thereby suggesting that there was no group able to induce bone remodeling simply due to the prosthesis weight. CONCLUSION. Heavier prostheses under the effect of gravity force are related to more strain being generated around the implants. Installing more implants to support the prosthesis enables attenuating the effects observed in the bone. The simulated prostheses were not able to generate harmful values of peri-implant bone strain.

최근에 개발된 이방향 휨인장 시험법(Biaxial Flexure Test; BFT)을 적용하여 이축 인장강도를 측정한 결과 원형 시편에 1${\sim}$3개의 초기 균열이 불규칙 하게 발행한 후 파괴되는 것이 일반적이며, 실험체의 크기가 증가함에 따라 상대적으로 균열의 개수가 증가하는 양상을 갖는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한, 일방향 휨인장과 마찬가지로 이방향 인장상태의 균열강도의 크기효과에 관한 연구를 위한 각종 변수의 선택에 따른 이방향 휨 인장시험체의 거동을 삼차원 유한요소 해석을 통해 분석하였으며, 지점간의 지름, 하중재하판의 지름, 시험체의 두께와 여유길이 등이 주요변수로 고려되었다. 분석결과 시험체가 b/a>0.4인 경우에서는 h/a가 증가할수록, 여유길이의 크기가 작을수록 이방향 휨인장 응력 산정식과 일치함을 알 수 있었다.
