This paper presents a detailed procedure for a nonlinear soil-structure interaction of a seismically isolated NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) structure using the boundary reaction method (BRM). The BRM offers a two-step method as follows: (1) the calculation of boundary reaction forces in the frequency domain on an interface of linear and nonlinear regions, (2) solving the wave radiation problem subjected to the boundary reaction forces in the time domain. For the purpose of calculating the boundary reaction forces at the base of the isolator, the KIESSI-3D program is employed in this study to solve soil-foundation interaction problem subjected to vertically incident seismic waves. Wave radiation analysis is also employed, in which the nonlinear structure and the linear soil region are modeled by finite elements and energy absorbing elements on the outer model boundary using a general purpose nonlinear FE program. In this study, the MIDAS/Civil program is employed for modeling the wave radiation problem. In order to absorb the outgoing elastic waves to the unbounded soil region, spring and viscous-damper elements are used at the outer FE boundary. The BRM technique utilizing KIESSI-3D and MIDAS/Civil programs is verified using a linear soil-structure analysis problem. Finally the method is applied to nonlinear seismic analysis of a base-isolated NPP structure. The results show that BRM can effectively be applied to nonlinear soil-structure interaction problems.

In this study, the non-standard finite difference method for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed parabolic reaction-diffusion subject to Robin boundary conditions has presented. To discretize temporal and spatial variables, we use the implicit Euler and non-standard finite difference method on a uniform mesh, respectively. We proved that the proposed scheme shows uniform convergence in time with first-order and in space with second-order irrespective of the perturbation parameter. We compute three numerical examples to confirm the theoretical findings.

Analytical solutions of the reactant concentration inside porous spherical catalytic particles were obtained from unsteady reaction-diffusion equation by applying eigenfunction expansion method. Various surface concentrations as exponentially decaying or oscillating function were considered as boundary conditions to solve the unsteady partial differential equation as a function of radial distance and time. Dirac delta function was also used for the instantaneous injection of the reactant as the surface boundary condition to calculate average reactant concentration inside the particles as a function of time by Laplace transform. Besides spherical morphology, other geometries of particles, such as cylinder or slab, were considered to obtain the solution of the reaction-diffusion equation, and the results were compared with the solution in spherical coordinate. The concentration inside the particles based on calculation was compared with the bulk concentration of the reactant molecules measured by photocatalytic decomposition as a function of time.

In this paper, we have proposed a numerical method for Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems (SPBVPs) of reaction-diffusion type of third order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). The SPBVP is reduced into a weakly coupled system of one first order and one second order ODEs, one without the parameter and the other with the parameter ${\varepsilon}$ multiplying the highest derivative subject to suitable initial and boundary conditions, respectively. The numerical method combines boundary value technique, asymptotic expansion approximation, shooting method and finite difference scheme. The weakly coupled system is decoupled by replacing one of the unknowns by its zero-order asymptotic expansion. Finally the present numerical method is applied to the decoupled system. In order to get a numerical solution for the derivative of the solution, the domain is divided into three regions namely two inner regions and one outer region. The Shooting method is applied to two inner regions whereas for the outer region, standard finite difference (FD) scheme is applied. Necessary error estimates are derived for the method. Computational efficiency and accuracy are verified through numerical examples. The method is easy to implement and suitable for parallel computing. The main advantage of this method is that due to decoupling the system, the computation time is very much reduced.

We examined the steady state solution for a strongly exothermic mixtures in some class A geometries subjected to different boundary conditions under Arrhenius, Bimolecular and Sensitised reactions. The solution of the governing nonlinear reaction diffusion equation was obtained using the variational method formulation executed in Mathematica package. The paper elucidates the influence of geometry, boundary conditions and types of reaction on the thermal ignition of the reactive mixture. Apart from validating known results in literature, the solution gave further insight into the influence of material properties and conditions on the occurrence of thermal ignition.

경계반력법은 일반적인 복합법에서 필요한 진동수영역과 시간영역의 반복 작업이 필요없는 두 단계의 시간수영역 부구조법이다. 경계반력법은 다음의 두 단계로 나누어진다: (1) 진동수영역에서 선형구간과 비선형구간 경계에서 경계반력계산, (2) 시간영역에서 경계반력을 이용한 파동방사형문제 해석. 이때 시간영역에서는 파동방사형문제를 모사하기 위해 근역지반을 모델링한다. 이 연구에서는 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석을 위한 BRM 해석의 근역지반 모델링 범위에 따른 응답을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 등가선형 SSI 문제를 이용하여 매개변수해석을 수행하였다. BRM 응답의 정확성을 평가하기 위해 BRM 응답은 재래의 SSI 해석의 응답과 비교하였다. 수치해석결과 BRM 해석을 위한 근역지반 모델링 범위는 기초의 크기뿐만 아니라 지반조건의 영향을 받았다. 마지막으로, BRM 해석을 면진원전구조물의 비선형 SSI 해석에 적용하므로 BRM의 정확성과 효율성을 입증하였다.

During the metallization in the manufacturing of the ceramic capacitor at the boundary layer between Pd or Pt electrode and $BaTiO_3$-dielectric reactions were analysed. For the study of the reaction Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) Method was used. With the aid of ESR an increased of the concentration of the paramagnetic $Ti^{3+}$-Centers on the metallizing process could be seen. It meaned a reduction effect although the metallization was accomplished under oxidation atmosphere. Therefore it could be regarded as a reaction at the boundary layer. In order to investigate the reaction ad double octahedral model was compared and the increase of the $Ti^{3+}$-concentration was studied.

이 논문에서는 경계반력법을 이용한 비선형 지반-구조물 상호작용 해석을 위해 LS-DYNA나 MIDAS/Civil 등의 유한요소해석 프로그램과 연계하는 방법을 제시하였다. 경계반력법 적용시 유한요소프로그램에서 구조물과 지반은 선형 또는 비선형 유한요소를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 유한요소의 해석모델 외부의 무한영역으로 전달되는 탄성파를 최대한 흡수하기위해 유한요소 모델의 외측에 LS-DYNA의 경우에는 PML(Perfectly Matched Layer) 요소를, MIDAS/Civil의 경우에는 점성감쇠-스프링 요소를 적용하였다. 비선형 유한요소는 구조물영역에만 적용되는 것으로 가정하였다. 이 연구에서는 입사지진파에 의한 경계반력은 KIESSI-3D 프로그램을 이용하여 계산하였다. 선형 지반-구조물 상호작용 문제에 대해 일반적인 KIESSI-3D의 해석결과와 BRM해석결과를 비교하여 제시된 방법의 효율성을 제시하였다. 또한 수치적 비교를 통해 비선형 구조에 대해 보수적인 응답을 보이는 선형 SSI문제에 대하여 얻은 경계반력이 비선형 지반-구조물 상호작용해석에 효과적으로 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

We give a simple and direct proof of the characterization of positivity preserving semi-flows for ordinary differential systems. The same method provides an abstract result on a class of evolution systems containing reaction-diffusion systems in a bounded domain of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with either Neumann or Dirichlet homogeneous boundary conditions. The conditions are exactly the same with or without diffusion. A similar approach gives the optimal result for invariant rectangles in the case of Neumann conditions.

In this research, the impact behavior of the boundary between MMC-reinforced SiC whisker and Al alloy were studied. It is known that the resultant of the interfacial reaction between SiC whisker and Al alloy has brittle and low toughness property. In this paper, impact behavior of graded MMC & Al alloy shows the interfacial opening at the boundary. Generally this phenomenon is generated by thermal residual stress, brittle interfacial reaction resultant and difference of the deflection. So, these results may be interpreted as a macroscopic method of measuring the interfacial strength between matrix and reinforcement
