  • This paper presents the structural analysis of RIROB(Reactor Inspection Robot). Actually, several analyses such as kinetodynamics analysis, fluid mechanics analysis and structural mechanics analysis etc. should be carried out in the design of RIROB. These analyses are executed through the use of com-puter aided engineering(CAE) systems. The kinetodynamics analysis is carried out using a simple fluid dynamic analysis model for the water flow over the sensor support surface instead of difficult fluid mechanics analysis. Simultaneously the structural mechanics analysis is carried out to obtain the mini-mum thickness of the RIROB housing. The minimum thickness of the RIROB housing is evaluated to be 1.0 ㎝ for the safe design of RIROB. The kinetodynamics analysis of RIROB is performed using ADAMS and the static structural mechanics analysis of RIROB is performed using NISA.

  • This paper presents an advanced computational method for the prediction of the responses in the frequency domain of general linear dissipative structural-acoustic and fluid-structure systems, in the low-and medium-frequency domains and this includes uncertainty quantification. The system under consideration is constituted of a deformable dissipative structure that is coupled with an internal dissipative acoustic fluid. This includes wall acoustic impedances and it is surrounded by an infinite acoustic fluid. The system is submitted to given internal and external acoustic sources and to the prescribed mechanical forces. An efficient reduced-order computational model is constructed by using a finite element discretization for the structure and an internal acoustic fluid. The external acoustic fluid is treated by using an appropriate boundary element method in the frequency domain. All the required modeling aspects for the analysis of the medium-frequency domain have been introduced namely, a viscoelastic behavior for the structure, an appropriate dissipative model for the internal acoustic fluid that includes wall acoustic impedance and a model of uncertainty in particular for the modeling errors. This advanced computational formulation, corresponding to new extensions and complements with respect to the state-of-the-art are well adapted for the development of a new generation of software, in particular for parallel computers.

  • An aim of the study is to develop an efficient numerical simulation technique that can handle the two-scale analysis of fluid permeation filters fabricated by the partial sintering technique of small spherical ceramics. A solid-fluid mixture homogenization method is introduced to predict the mechanical characters such as rigidity and permeability of the porous ceramic filters from the micro-scale geometry and configuration of partially-sintered particles. An extended finite element (X-FE) discretization technique based on the enriched interpolations of respective characteristic functions at fluid-solid interfaces is proposed for the non-interface-fitted mesh solution of the micro-scale analysis that needs non-slip condition at the interface between solid and fluid phases of the unit cell. The homogenization and localization performances of the proposed method are shown in a typical two-dimensional benchmark problem whose model has a hole in center. Three-dimensional applications to the body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell models are also shown in the paper. The 3D application is prepared toward the computer-aided optimal design of ceramic filters. The accuracy and stability of the X-FEM based method are comparable to those of the standard interface-fitted FEM, and are superior to those of the voxel type FEM that is often used in such complex micro geometry cases.

  • Circulatory disease is the number two cause of death next to cancer in Korea, while the cardiovascular disease alone is the number one cause of death in the US. In the present article, some background, current status and future prospects of biomedical engineering esearch on circulatory disorders are discussed in terms of the origin of atherosclerosis, computational fluid dynamics and medical imaging techniques, clinical treatments and fluid dynamics, advances in stents, hemodynamic analysis of artificial heart, and artificial blood. In particular, the importance of close collaboration of medicine and fluids engineering is emphasized.

  • With more and more high-rise building being constructed in recent decades, bluff body flow with high Reynolds number and large scale dimensions has become an important topic in theoretical researches and engineering applications. In view of mechanics, the key problems in such flow are high Reynolds number turbulence and fluid-solid interaction. Aiming at such problems, a parallel fluid-structure interaction method based on socket parallel architecture was established and combined with the methods and models of large eddy simulation developed by authors recently. The new method is validated by the full two-way FSI simulations of 1:375 CAARC building model with Re = 70000 and a full scale Taipei101 high-rise building with Re = 1e8, The results obtained show that the proposed method and models is potential to perform high-Reynolds number LES and high-efficiency two-way coupling between detailed fluid dynamics computing and solid structure dynamics computing so that the detailed wind induced responses for high-rise buildings can be resolved practically.
