A geometric and material nonlinear finite element analysis is developed for the layered elastomeric bearings. In this study, a mixed variational approach with separate variables is used to describe the displacement and volume change of rubber. To represent finely deformed behavior, Kirchoff stress tensors are used and converted Eulerian stress tensors to describe real physical meanings. Newton's method is utilized to solve the governing nonlinear finite element equations. Numerical test are performed in the case of compression and shear to verify the theory and to illustrate the application of this analysis. And the results of this study were compared to the results of Moore's discrete finite element analysis.

Strip footing is an important type of shallow foundations and is commonly used beneath the walls. Analysis of shallow foundation involves the determination of stresses and deformations. Element free Galerkin method, one of the important mesh free methods, is used for the determination of stresses and deformations. Element free Galerkin method is an efficient and accurate method as compared to finite element method. The Element Free Galerkin method uses only a set of nodes and a description of model boundary is required to generate the discrete equation. Strip footing of width 2 m subjected to a loading intensity of 200 kPa is studied. The results obtained are agreeing with the values obtained using analytical solutions available in the literature. Parametric study is done and the effect of modulus of deformation, Poisson's ratio and scaling parameter on deformation and stresses are determined.

In the literatures, the FFT-based SAM has been well applied to the computation of the steady-state responses of discrete dynamic systems. In this paper, a fast fourier transforms (FFT)-based spectral analysis method (SAM) is proposed fur the dynamic analysis of spectral element models subjected to the non-zero initial conditions. However, the FFT-based SAM has not yet been developed for the continuous systems represented by the spectral element model.

Composite nature of the masonry structures in general causes complex and non-linear behaviour, especially in intense vibration conditions. The presence of different types and forms of structural elements and different materials is a major problem for the analysis of these type of structures. For this reason, the analysis of the behaviour of masonry structures requires a combination of experimental tests and non-linear mathematical modelling. The famous UNESCO Heritage Old Bridge in Mostar was selected as an example for the analysis of the global behaviour of reinforced stone arch masonry bridges. As part of the experimental research, a model of the Old Bridge was constructed in a scale of 1:9 and tested on a shaking table platform for different levels of seismic excitation. Non-linear mathematical modelling was performed using a combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM), including the effect of connection elements. The paper presents the horizontal displacement of the top of the arch and the failure mechanism of the Old Bridge model for the experimental and the numerical phase, as well as the comparison of the results. This research provided a clearer insight into the global behaviour of stone arch masonry structures reinforced with steel clamps and steel dowels, which is significant for the structures classified as world cultural heritage.

In this paper, a class of large time-stepping method based on the finite element discretization for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with the Neumann boundary conditions is developed. The equation is discretized by finite element method in space and semi-implicit schemes in time. For the first order fully discrete scheme, convergence property is investigated by using finite element analysis. Numerical experiment is presented, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the large time-stepping approaches.

This study presents a new computational model to analyze the grain deformation in a polycrystalline aggregate in a discrete manner and based directly in the underlying physical micro-mechanisms. As a result, specific characteristics have to be considered for the numerical analysis. The grains and grain boundary elements are introduced to model individual grains and grain boundary facets, respectively, to consider the size effects in the micro forming. The constitutive description of the grain elements accounts for the rigid-plastic and the grain boundary elements for elastic relationships. The capability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through application of grain element and grain boundary element in the micro forming.

This study presents a new computational model to analyze the grain deformation in a polycrystalline aggregate in a discrete manner and based directly in the underlying physical micro-mechanisms. When scaling down a metal forming process, the dimensions of the workpiece decrease but the microstructure of the workpiece remains the similar. Since the dimensions of the workpiece are very small, the microstructure especially the grain size will play an important role in micro forming, which is called size effects. As a result, specific characteristics have to be considered for the numerical analysis. The grains and grain boundary elements are introduced to model individual grains and grain boundary facets, respectively, to consider the size effects in the micro forming. The constitutive description of the grain elements accounts for the rigid-plastic and the grain boundary elements for visco-elastic relationships. The capability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through application of grain element and grain boundary element in the micro forming.

Masonry is not a simple material, the influence of mortar joints as a plane of weakness is a significant feature and this makes the numerical modelling of masonry very difficult especially when dynamic (seismic) analysis is involved. In order to develop a simple numerical model for masonry under earthquake load, an analytical model based on Distinct Element Method (DEM) is being developed. At the first stage, the model is applied to simulate the in-plane shear behaviour of an unreinforced masonry wall with and without opening where the testing results are available for comparison. In DEM, a solid is represented as an assembly of discrete blocks. Joints are modelled as interface between distinct bodies. It is a dynamic process and specially designed to model the behaviour of discontinuities. The numerical solutions obtained from the distinct element analysis are validated by comparing the results with those obtained from existing experiments and finite element modelling.

개별요소법(Discrete Element Method, DEM)은 토목공학 등 입자형태의 재료를 다루는 분야에서 다양하게 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 DEM 기법에 근거한 입자 역학 전용 해석 상용 소프트웨어를 사용하여 면판형 토압식 쉴드TBM 굴착성능을 평가하기 위한 수치 해석을 수행하였다. TBM에 대한 해석은 커터헤드의 회전속도가 다른 두 가지 조건에 대해 수행되었다. 해석 모델의 직경은 6.64m이며 6개의 스포크를 갖는 것으로 작성되었다. 또한, 37개의 프리커터와 98개의 스크래퍼가 각 스포크에 모델링 되었다. 해석결과를 통해, 커터헤드면과 쉴드, 절삭 도구에 작용하는 압축력과 커터헤드면에서 발생하는 저항 토크의 크기를 검토하였으며 스크루 오거를 통해 배출되는 토사량에 대해서는 각각 단위 시간당 배토량과 누적 배토량을 검토하였다.

순환골재 입도 분리를 위해 사용되는 일반적인 스크린은 막힘 현상으로 인해 함수 시료 처리가 제한적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 스크린의 분리 효율을 개선하기 위하여, DEM(Discrete Element Method) 기반의 모사 실험을 통해 스프링 기반의 추가 보조 진동 장치의 우수성을 판단하였다. 스프링 디자인에 따른 변위, 진폭 및 변형 각 분석을 통해 운동 특성을 확인하였으며, 이를 스크린에 적용하여 입자의 거동을 모사하였다. 입자 모사 결과, 스프링이 적용된 스크린의 물질 흐름 및 분리 효율은 각각 9.2 kg/s, 97 %로 나타났으며, 기존 스크린과의 비교를 통해 막힘 방지 스프링의 적용은 기존 스크린을 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
