In modern buildings, glass is considered a structurally unsafe material due to its brittleness and unpredictable failure behavior. The possible use of structural glass elements (i.e., floors, beams and columns) is generally prevented by its poor tensile strength and a frequent occurrence of brittle failures. In this study an innovative modelling based on an equivalent thickness concept of laminated glass beam reinforced with FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) composite material and of glass plates punched is presented. In particular, the novel numerical modelling applied to an embedding Carbon FRP-rod in the interlayer of a laminated structural glass beam is considered in order to increase both its failure strength, together with its post-failure strength and ductility. The proposed equivalent modelling of different specimens enables us to carefully evaluate the effects of this reinforcement. Both the responses of the reinforced beam and un-reinforced one are evaluated, and the corresponding results are compared and discussed. A novel equivalent modelling for reinforced glass beams using FRP composites is presented for FEM analyses in modern material components and proved estimations of the expected performance are provided. Moreover, the new suggested numerical analysis is also applied to laminated glass plates with wide holes at both ends for the technological reasons necessary to connect a glass beam to a structure. Obtained results are compared with an integer specimen. Experimental considerations are reported.

본 연구에서는 터보차저 및 인터쿨러, 블루 오프 밸브 등 튜닝 부품을 장착한 스쿠푸 알파 차량의 경우 N/A엔진에 비해 흡입 공기량의 변화가 오게 되고 이에 따른 연료 보정 및 ECU의 튜닝을 목적으로 연구되었다. 이와 같은 터보 엔진은 압축압력의 변화가 있게 되며 이때 인위적으로 개스킷의 두께를 조절하여 압축비에 변화를 주게 되면 엔진의 출력 특성 변화를 살펴볼 수 있다. 시험은 제동압력이나 마력 측정이 불가능하므로 ECU튜닝 장비인 모텍 라서치(주)의 Engine Management System장비를 기본으로 시험하였고 성능 공식 전개를 통하여 출력의 변화를 살펴보았다. 엔진 다이나모미터 시험보다 엔진 ECU데이터를 사용하기 때문에 개발된 ECU 데이터를 이용하면 튜닝엔진에 바로 접목시킬 수 있어 앞으로 튜닝 정비 분야에서 많이 필요로 할 것으로 예측된다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 학생들은 전자제어엔진에 대해 섬도 있는 학습이 되었으며, 정비 관련 산업체에서도 ECU데이터를 이용하여 엔진의 성능을 점검하고 체계적으로 제어할 수 있는 기술의 방향과 토대를 마련하였다고 본다.

In the present study, a suitable mathematical model considering parabolic transverse shear strains for dynamic analysis of laminated composite skew plates under different types of impulse and spatial loads was presented for the first time. The proposed mathematical model satisfies zero transverse shear strain at the top and bottom of the plate. On the basis of the cubic variation of thickness coordinate in in-plane displacement fields of the present mathematical model, a 2D finite element (FE) model was developed including skew transformations in the mathematical model. No shear correction factor is required in the present formulation and damping effect was also incorporated. This is the first FE implementation considering a cubic variation of thickness coordinate in in-plane displacement fields including skew transformations to solve the forced vibration problem of composite skew plates. The effect of transverse shear and rotary inertia was incorporated in the present model. The Newmark-${\beta}$ scheme was adapted to perform time integration from step to step. The $C^0$ FE formulation was implemented to overcome the problem of $C^1$ continuity associated with the cubic variation of thickness coordinate in in-plane displacement fields. The numerical studies showed that the present 2D FE model predicts the result close to the analytical results. Many new results varying different parameter such as skew angles, boundary conditions, etc. were presented.

Analysis of transverse stresses at layer interfaces in a composite laminate has always been a challenging task. Composite structures possess highly irregular material properties at layer interfaces, which cause high shear stresses. Classical Plate Theory and First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) use post computing to calculate transverse stresses. This paper presents Reissner Mixed Variational Theorem (RMVT) based finite element model to carry out layer-wise analysis of composite laminates. Selective integration scheme has been used. The formulation has been validated by solving numerical examples and comparing the results with those published in the literature.

This paper focuses on trigonometric porosity distribution to analyze its effect on the free vibration frequencies of porous orthotropic multi-layered composite plates. Three types of porosity distributions are considered. The governing equations of the free vibration response of porous orthotropic multi-layered composite plates are derived from the Hamilton's principle using higher-order shear deformation theory. The free vibration frequency relation of the problem is obtained by performing Galerkin's method. After the validation process of the relation under the available literature, a few parametric analyses are performed to observe the influence of shear deformation, porosity distribution, orthotropy, layer sequence, and different geometric properties on the frequencies.

This paper has focused on presenting vibration analysis of trapezoidal sandwich plates with a damaged core and FG wavy CNT-reinforced face sheets. A damage model is introduced to provide an analytical description of an irreversible rheological process that causes the decay of the mechanical properties, in terms of engineering constants. An isotropic damage is considered for the core of the sandwich structure. The classical theory concerning the mechanical efficiency of a matrix embedding finite length fibers has been modified by introducing the tube-to-tube random contact, which explicitly accounts for the progressive reduction of the tubes' effective aspect ratio as the filler content increases. The First-order shear deformation theory of plate is utilized to establish governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions for the trapezoidal plate. The governing equations together with related boundary conditions are discretized using a mapping-generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method in spatial domain. Then natural frequencies of the trapezoidal sandwich plates are obtained using GDQ method. Validity of the current study is evaluated by comparing its numerical results with those available in the literature. After demonstrating the convergence and accuracy of the method, different parametric studies for laminated trapezoidal structure including carbon nanotubes waviness (0≤w≤1), CNT aspect ratio (0≤AR≤4000), face sheet to core thickness ratio (0.1 ≤ ${\frac{h_f}{h_c}}$ ≤ 0.5), trapezoidal side angles (30° ≤ α, β ≤ 90°) and damaged parameter (0 ≤ D < 1) are carried out. It is explicated that the damaged core and weight fraction, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) waviness and CNT aspect ratio can significantly affect the vibrational behavior of the sandwich structure. Results show that by increasing the values of waviness index (w), normalized natural frequency of the structure decreases, and the straight CNT (w=0) gives the highest frequency. For an overall comprehension on vibration of laminated trapezoidal plates, some selected vibration mode shapes were graphically represented in this study.

강섬유보강 적층복합구조물에서 온도의 변화는 구조물의 응답에 중요한 영향을 미칠수 있다. 온도의 급작스런 변화는 재료의 강도와 성질을 현저히 저하시켜 구조물의 대변형, 좌굴, 고응력상태를 유발하는 중요한 인자가 된다. 본 연구에서는 등분포로 재하된 온도하중에 의한 적층복합판의 온도좌굴에 관한 해석을 수행하였다. 전단변형의 효과를 정확히 고려하기위해 5개의 변수로 구성된 고차전단변형이론을 적용하였다. 적층판의 배열각도, 적층판의 수, 폭-두께비의 변화, 형상비의 변화에 따른 임계좌굴온도를 구하여 1차전단변형이론에 의한 결과와 고전적이론에 의한 결과와 비교분석하였다.

적층복합재료, 특히 탄소섬유 복합재료는 금속에 비해 가벼우며 상대적으로 비강도 및 비강성이 뛰어나기 때문에 항공 우주 산업 및 자동차 산업 등과같이 광범위한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 적층 복합재료는 섬유의 배열이 모두 면내방향으로 배열되어있기 때문에 박리가 발생한다는 큰 단점이 있으며, 이는 적층복합재료의 응용분야를 제한한다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 π-빔과 평판이 결합된 형태의 적층복합재료 T-빔을 개발하고, 구조해석 및 기계적 물성평가를 통하여 설계변수를 최적화하였다. 이후 적층복합재료 T-빔의 설계변수를 3D 직조 프리폼에 동일하게 적용하여 T-빔을 개발하였으며, 적층구조에 비하여 향상된 기계적 강도를 달성할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 강도향상을 필요로 하는 기존의 적층복합재료 구조물에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper investigates the problem of a crack approaching two circular holes in an orthotropic infinite plate. The stress intensity factors were obtained by using the modified mapping-collocation method. The present results show excellent agreement with existing solutions for a crack approaching two circular holes in an isotropic infinite plate. In the numerical examples, various types of cross-ply laminated composites were considered. To investigate the effect of orthotropy and geometry(d/R and a/(d-R)) on crack tip singularity, stress intensity factors were considered as functions of the normalized crack length. It is expected that the modified mapping-collocation method can be applied to the analysis of various kinds of cracks existing around the stress-concentration region of composite laminate.

복소퍼텐셜을 이용하여 타원공 또는 균열을 내재한 복합재 적층판구조 해석법을 고찰하였다. 복합재 적층판은 충격에 취약하며 이러한 충격손상은 타원공이나 균열형태의 노치로 모델화된 바 있다. 이와 같이 컷아웃부를 내재한 복잡한 형태의 복합재 적층판 해석에 유한요소해석법이 널리 사용되고 있으나 피로하중 하에서의 손상허용성 평가와 같이 손상진전에 따라 반복적으로 유한요소모델링을 수정하여 해석을 수행하여야 하는 경우 매우 번거로운 작업이 요구된다. 이러한 관점에서 복소퍼텐셜을 이용한 해석적 기법은 매우 간편하고 사용하기 손쉬운 기법이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 해석법에 의한 계산결과를 유한요소해석 결과와 비교 분석함으로써 계산과정의 유효성과 용이성을 검증하였다.
