Spot-welding is widely used to construct passenger car bodies in automotive industry. Occasionally severe spot-weld distortions in sub-assembly make further spot-weld difficult. In this paper, distortions for various spot-weld conditions are measured using coordinate measuring machine. Then, based on finite element solution for unit translation or unit rotation of nugget edge, equivalent loads for spot-weld distortions are determined. They can be used to predict the spot-weld distortion using finite element method.

In this study, crush characteristics of thin-walled rectangular tube is investigated. The stiffness of the element is obtained from analytical moment-rotation relationship and approximated load-deflection relationship of thin-walled rectangular tube. A computer program is developed for the large deformation analysis of frame. An incremental displacement method is used in the program and at each incremental stage, the stiffness matrix of the total structure is checked with the state each element for bending and compression.

This paper aims to verify the static strength of a KHST gangway structure including fixed ring and carrying ring according to tile load cases in the defined specification. The structure has been analyzed by the finite element method. Calculation carried out in tile fields of linearity and small deformation. The admissible limit is tile yield strength for the available materials. The analysis results show that Von-Mises stress at some locations of the structure is a little beyond the admissible limit. These results are successfully reflected on the adjusted design.

The system that follows to the resonance frequency of high frequency MOSFET inverter and varies according to the changes of load characteristics is proposed. Also we suggested a method how to select the resonant load type between series and parallel circuit for a given inverter type. It leads to the conclusion that in the case of high impedance loads, parallel resonant circuits are preferable, on the other hand, for low impedance loads, series resonant circuits are more preferable. For frequency tracking, a PLL circuit is used as main control element to detect the phase difference of current and voltage of load. The realized apparatus composed of control circuit and voltage type full-bridged MOSFET elements as main parts of inverter. A stable frequency follow-up characteristics are obtained for 1.2MHz, 1.5KW high frequency output and power is always supplied to the load with unity power factor.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the buckling characteristics of a conceptually designed KALIMER-150(Korea Advanced LIquid MEtal Reactor, 150MWe) reactor vessel and verify the buckling behavior using the reduced scale cylindrical shell structures. To do this, nonlinear buckling analyses using finite element method and evaluation formulae are carried out. From the results, the KALIMER-150 reactor vessel exhibits a dominant bending buckling mode and is significantly affected by the plastic behavior. The interaction effects with the vertical seismic load cause the lateral buckling load to be slightly decrease. From the results of the buckling experiments using reduced scaled cylindrical shell structures, it is verified that the buckling modes such as pure bending, pure shear, and mixed(bending plus shear) mode clearly appear under a lateral load corresponding to the slenderness ratio of cylinder.

The transmission load of gear devices is important factor in the design of gear system. To design gear system precisely, an analysis and calculation methods for transmission load of gears are demanded. The purpose of this study is to develop a computer program for analyzing tooth load sharing of a spur gear system by means of the contact theory. In this paper, load transmission characteristics is identified with elastic contact problem which is assumed to quasi-static equilibrium. The modeling of spur gear tooth is accomplished by application of I-DEAS.

Based on three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses, this paper provides plastic limit, collapse and instability load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and in-plane bending. The plastic limit loads are determined from FE limit analyses based on elastic-perfectly plastic materials using the small geometry change option, and the FE limit analyses using the large geometry change option provide plastic collapse loads (using the twice-elastic-slope method) and instability loads. For the bending mode, both closing bending and opening bending are considered, and a wide range of parameters related to the bend geometry is considered. Based on the FE results, closed-form approximations of plastic limit and collapse load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and bending are proposed.

The aim of this study is to investigate critical load, which can influence on flight path of a small slender body rocket, due to external forces such as thrust, drag and weight. The critical load was firstly obtained from Euler column equation, and compared with analysis results using Finite Element Method to evaluate the theoretical critical load.

In order to reduce the forming load of backward extrusion to a feasible level a new backward extrusion processes are proposed. In these process the shape of punch and die for conventional backward extrusion are change to open backward extrusion. To analyse the process numerical simulations by the finite element method has been performed, This simulation gave good results concerning the prediction of the forming load material flow and the corresponding shape of forged products, . These predictions set the limits of the preform shape and forming load depending on the punch and die geometry. The results show that the forming load is reduced significantly when the conventional backward extrusion change to open backward extrusion.
