사면붕괴는 매년 인간의 활동에 엄청난 재정적 손실을 끼치는 중요한 재난중의 하나이다. 사면의 붕괴특성을 고찰한 결과 강우와 매우 밀접한 상관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 기존 연구에 따르면 우기시 강우로 인한 간극수압의 영향으로 인하여 대부분의 사면붕괴 사고가 발생하였다. 기존사면의 안전율은 사면의 풍화 등 열화 거동과 강우 등의 작용으로 인해 점차 감소하고 있으나 식생, 보호공, 보강공 등으로 인해 안전율을 상승시키는 활동이 가미되어 실제기존사면의 적정한 평가가 어렵다. 따라서 사면의 절취 및 보수보강이 완료된 직후부터 현재까지의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 요소를 누적적으로 고려할 수 있는 시간 의존적 해석도구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 변위-간극수압을 고려한 연계 수치해석 기법을 채택하여 무보강 사면과 보강사면으로 구분하여 시간 의존적 거동을 고려하는 수치해석(coupled numerical analysis)을 실시하였다. 이로부터 기존사면의 간극수압에 따른 영향을 평가하고, 연계해석을 해석 도구로 하는 안정해석 기술을 제시하고자 하였다.

This paper is concerned with the numerical investigation of the landing impact characteristics of sport shoes to the landing mode. In most court sport activities, jumping and landing are fundamental motions, and the landing motion is largely composed of forefoot and rearfoot landing modes. Since the landing impact may, but frequently, lead to unexpected injuries of players, the investigation of its characteristics and the sport shoes design for reducing it are of a great importance. To investigate the landing impact characteristics to the landing mode, we construct a shoes-leg coupled model and carry out the numerical simulation by an explicit finite element method.

본 논문에서는 3차원 연계해석을 통해 지하수가 터널굴착에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 먼저 국외사례를 토대로 높은 지하수위의 조건에서 터널시공시 발생하는 여러 가지 문제점을 짚어보았다. 아울러서 3차원 응력-간극수압 연계해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 토대로 라이닝 작용하중 및 유발응력, 막장안정성, 지표침하 등을 고찰하였다. 해석 결과 지하수가 터널굴착에 미치는 영향은 연계해석을 통해서 만이 이해가 가능하며 전응력해석을 수행할 경우 지하수의 영향을 과소 평가할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 본 해석에서 얻어지는 결과를 실무적 측면에서 다각도로 고찰하였다.

This paper presents a finite element analysis of the electromechanical field in the spindle motor of a computer hard disk drive considering the speed control and mechanical flexibility. The driving circuit equation is modified by considering the switching action of PWM inverter, and is coupled with the Maxwell equation to obtain the nonlinear time-stepping finite element equation for the analysis of magnetic field. Magnetic force and torque are calculated by the Maxwell stress tensor. Mechanical motion of a rotor is determined by a time-stopping finite element method considering the flexibility of shaft, rotor and bearing. Both magnetic and mechanical finite element equations are combined in the closed loop to control the speed using PWM. Simulation results are verified by the experiments, and they are in food agreement with the experimental results.

This paper deals with a hydroelastic vibration analysis of two rectangular plates partially coupled with a liquid, which is bounded by two plates and two rigid side walls. The wet displacement of each plate is assumed to be a combination of the modal functions of a dry uniform beam with a clamped boundary condition. As the liquid is assumed to be an ideal liquid, the displacement potential satisfying the Laplace equation is determined so that the liquid boundary conditions can meet the requirements at the rigid surfaces and the free liquid surface. The wet dynamic modal functions of each plate are expanded by using the finite Fourier transform to obtain an appropriate form of the compatibility requirement along the contacting surfaces between the plates and the liquid. The liquid-coupled natural frequencies of the plates are derived by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. Finite element analyses using commercial software are carried out to verify the proposed theory. It is observed that the theoretical method agrees excellently with the three-dimensional finite element analyses results. The effects of the liquid depth and the liquid thickness on the normalized natural frequencies are investigated to identify the dynamic characteristics of the liquid coupled system.

The use of lightweight materials has been steadily increasing in the automotive industry, and presents new challenges to material joining. Among many joining processes, self-piercing riveting (SPR) is particularly promising for joining lightweight materials (such as aluminum alloys) and dissimilar materials (such as steel to Al, and metal to polymer). However, to establish a process window for optimal joint performance, it often requires a long trial-and-error testing of the SPR process. This is because current state of the art in numerical analysis still cannot effectively resolve the problems of severe material distortion and separation in the SPR simulation. This paper presents a coupled meshfree/finite element with a moving boundary algorithm to overcome these numerical difficulties. The simulation results are compared with physical measurements to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.

Vibration mode localization and frequency loci veering in disordered coupled beam system are studied in this paper using finite element analysis. Two beams coupled with transverse and rotational springs are examined. Small disorders in the physical parameters such as Young's modulus, mass density or span length of the substructure are introduced in the investigation of the mode localization and frequency loci veering phenomena. The effect of disorder in the elastic support on the mode localization phenomenon is also discussed. It is found that an asymmetric disorder in the weakly coupled system will lead to the occurrence of mode localization and frequency loci phenomena.

By using a coupled circuit, time-stepping, two-dimensional finite element method (2-D FEM), the performance of a stand-alone permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with inset rotor can be computed without involving the classical two-axis model. The effects of interpolar air gap length and armature resistance on the load characteristics are investigated. It is shown that the interpolar flux density, and hence the amount of voltage compensation, is affected by magnetic saturation. Validity of the coupled circuit and field analysis is confirmed by experiments on a prototype generator. The machine exhibits an approximately level load characteristic when it is supplying an isolated unity-power-factor load.

This paper presents the interaction effect between tunneling and groundwater on tunnel behavior. A parametric study is then conducted on the various tunneling situations frequently encountered in Seoul area using a 3D stress-pore pressure coupled finite-element model with emphasis on the effects of ground and lining permeabilities. It is shown that the ground and lining responses are significantly influenced by the relative permeability between the ground and the lining, and that the circumferential pre-grouting is effective in minimizing the tunnelling and groundwater interaction.

In this work, a mixed beam approach that combines both the stiffness and the flexibility methods has been performed to analyze the coupled composite blades with closed, two-cell cross-sections. The Reissner's semi-complementary energy functional is used to derive the beam force-displacement relations. Only the membrane part of the shell wall is taken into account to make the analysis simple and also to deliver a clear picture of the mixed method. All the cross section stiffness coefficients as well as the distribution of shear across the section are evaluated in a closed-form through the beam formulation. The theory is validated against experimental test data, detailed finite element analysis results, and other analytical results for coupled composite blades with a two-cell airfoil section. Despite the simple kinematic model adopted in the theory, an accuracy comparable to that of two-dimensional finite element analysis has been obtained for cases considered in this study.
