The finite element alternating method is a convenient and efficient method to analyze three-dimensional cracks embedded in an infinite or a finite body because the method has the property that the uncracked body and cracks can be modeled independently. In this paper the method was applied for fatigue crack growth simulation. A surface crack in a cylinder was considered as an initial crack and the crack configurations and stress intensity factors during the crack growth were obtained. In this paper the finite element alternating method proposed by Nikishkov, Park and Atluri was used after modification. In the method, as the required solution for a crack in an infinite body, the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method formulated by Li and Mear was used. And a crack was modeled as distribution of displacement discontinuities, and the governing equation was formulated as singularity-reduced integral equations.

The paper is devoted to present the Continuum Strong Discontinuity Approach (CSDA) and to examine its capabilities for modeling cracking of concrete. After introducing the main ingredients of the CSDA, an isotropic continuum damage model, which distinguishes tension and compression states, is used to implicitly induce a projected traction separation-law that rules the cracking phenomena. Criteria for onset and propagation of material failure and specific finite elements with embedded discontinuities are also briefly sketched. Finally, some representative numerical simulations of cracking, in plain and reinforced concrete specimens, using the CSDA are presented.

This paper presents an L1 optimization based filtering technique which effectively eliminates the optical misalignment effects encountered in the squint guidance mode with strapdown seekers. We formulated a series of L1 optimization problems in order to separate the bias and the gradient components from the measured data, and solved them via the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) and sparse matrix decomposition techniques. The proposed technique was able to rapidly detect arbitrary discontinuities and gradient changes from the measured signals, and was shown to effectively cancel the undesirable effects coming from the seeker misalignment angles. The technique was implemented on embedded flight computers and the real-time operational performance was verified via the hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) tests in parallel with the automatic target recognition algorithms and the intra-red synthetic target images.

We study seismically induced, anti-plane strain wave motion in a non-homogeneous geological region containing tunnels. Two different scenarios are considered: (a) The first models two tunnels in a finite geological region embedded within a laterally inhomogeneous, layered geological profile containing a seismic source. For this case, labelled as the first boundary-value problem (BVP 1), an efficient hybrid technique comprising the finite difference method (FDM) and the boundary element method (BEM) is developed and applied. Since the later method is based on the frequency-dependent fundamental solution of elastodynamics, the hybrid technique is defined in the frequency domain. Then, an inverse fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is used to recover time histories; (b) The second models a finite region with two tunnels, is embedded in a homogeneous half-plane, and is subjected to incident, time-harmonic SH-waves. This case, labelled as the second boundary-value problem (BVP 2), considers complex soil properties such as anisotropy, continuous inhomogeneity and poroelasticity. The computational approach is now the BEM alone, since solution of the surrounding half plane by the FDM is unnecessary. In sum, the hybrid FDM-BEM technique is able to quantify dependence of the signals that develop at the free surface to the following key parameters: seismic source properties and heterogeneous structure of the wave path (the FDM component) and near-surface geological deposits containing discontinuities in the form of tunnels (the BEM component). Finally, the hybrid technique is used for evaluating the seismic wave field that develops within a key geological cross-section of the Metro construction project in Thessaloniki, Greece, which includes the important Roman-era historical monument of Rotunda dating from the 3rd century A.D.

Behavior of soil is usually described with continuum type of failure models such as Mohr-Coulomb or Drucker-Prager model. The main advantage of these models is in a relatively simple and efficient way of predicting the main tendencies and overall behavior of soil in failure analysis of interest for engineering practice. However, the main shortcoming of these models is that they are not able to capture post-peak behavior of soil nor the corresponding failure modes under extreme loading. In this paper we will significantly improve on this state-of-the-art. In particular, we propose the use of a discrete beam lattice model to provide a sharp prediction of inelastic response and failure mechanisms in coupled soil-foundation systems. In the discrete beam lattice model used in this paper, soil is meshed with one-dimensional Timoshenko beam finite elements with embedded strong discontinuities in axial and transverse direction capable of representing crack propagation in mode I and mode II. Mode I relates to crack opening, and mode II relates to crack sliding. To take into account material heterogeneities, we determine fracture limits for each Timoshenko beam with Gaussian random distribution. We compare the results obtained using the discrete beam lattice model against those obtained using the modified three-surface elasto-plastic cap model.

10 Gbps용 전계 흡수형 InGaAsP/InGaAsP 응력 완화 MQW (Multiple Quantum Well) 광변조기의 변조 성능은 패키징후 발생되는 기생 특성에 의해서 큰 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 이 초고주파 기생 특성은 변조기의 변조 대역폭을 제한하고 처핑 변수를 증가시키는 요인이 된다. 따라서, 이러한 기생 성분중 고속·광대역 변조시 변조 성능을 크게 저하시키는 본딩와이어에 의한 유도성 기생성분을 최소화시키기 위해 유전체 몰딩된 이중 본딩와이어 구조를 제안하였다. 50 Ω 저항으로 병렬 종단된 MQW 광변조기에 제안된 본 구조를 이용할 경우, 패키징전에 비하여 변조 대역폭이 약 125 %가 확대됨을 확인하였다. 또한 이 구조를 이용할 경우 기존에 무시되었던 패키징 기생 특성에 의한 처핑 변수의 영향을 최소화시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법이 됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 10 Gbps 대역 이상의 초고속 외부 광변조기의 변조 성능 극대화를 위한 최적 패키지 구현 자료로서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we present a 3D thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled discrete beam lattice model of structure built of the nonisothermal saturated poro-plastic medium subjected to mechanical loads and nonstationary heat transfer conditions. The proposed model is based on Voronoi cell representation of the domain with cohesive links represented as inelastic Timoshenko beam finite elements enhanced with additional kinematics in terms of embedded strong discontinuities in axial and both transverse directions. The enhanced Timoshenko beam finite element is capable of modeling crack formation in mode I, mode II and mode III. Mode I relates to crack opening, mode II relates to in-plane crack sliding, and mode III relates to the out-of-plane shear sliding. The pore fluid flow and heat flow in the proposed model are governed by Darcy's law and Fourier's law for heat conduction, respectively. The pore pressure field and temperature field are approximated with linear tetrahedral finite elements. By exploiting nodal point quadrature rule for numerical integration on tetrahedral finite elements and duality property between Voronoi diagram and Delaunay tetrahedralization, the numerical implementation of the coupling results with additional pore pressure and temperature degrees of freedom placed at each node of a Timoshenko beam finite element. The results of several numerical simulations are presented and discussed.

본 논문에서는 저온 소성 세라믹(Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic: LTCC)에 기초한 밀리미터파 RF SiP(System-in-Package) 모듈 응용을 위하여, CBCPW(Conductor Backed CPW) 전송선과 스트립 라인 대역 통과필터(BPF)에서 기생적으로 발생하는 공진 모드들과 40 GHz 전력 증폭기 모듈의 발진 현상을 분석하고 이를 제거하기 위한 방법들을 제안하였다. CBCPW 구조에서의 기생 구형 도파관(RWG) 모드는 비아의 간격을 줄여 공진 주파수를 높게 하여 동작 주파수 내에서 완전히 억제하였다. 스트립 라인 구조에서는 마주 보는 비아 중한 쪽을 제거하여 대각선으로 비아를 배치함으로써 완전히 제거하였다. CBCPW의 마이크로스트립 패치 공진기 모드들을 제거하기 위하여, 갭을 통한 커플링을 감소시키기 위해 갭에 인접하게 비아를 배치하였다. 그 결과 기생 공진 모드들이 완전히 제거되었다. 40 GHz 대역의 능동 증폭기 모듈의 경우, 상호 연결(interconnection)불연속 효과로 발생한 방사에 의한 인한 누설(cross talk)을 억제하기 위해, LTCC 기판 내부에 내장된 DC 전원 배선과 CPW 전송선의 고 격리 구조를 사용하여 발진 현상을 개선하였다.

In structures excavated in rock mass, load progressively increases to a level and remains constant during the construction. Rocks display different elastic properties such as E_i and ʋ under different loading conditions and this requires to use the true values of elastic properties for the design of safe structures in rock. Also, rocks will undergo horizontal and vertical deformations depending on the amount of load applied. However, under constant loads, values of E_i and ʋ will vary in time and induce variations in the behavior of the rock mass. In some empirical equations in which deformation modulus of the rock mass is taken into consideration, elastic parameters of intact rock become functions in the equation. Hence, the use of time dependent elastic properties determined under constant loading will yield more reliable results than when only constant elastic properties are used. As well known, rock material will play an important role in the deformation mechanism since the discontinuities will be closed due to the load. In this study, E_i and ʋ values of intact rocks were investigated under different constant loads for certain rocks with high deformation capabilities. The results indicated significant time dependent variations in elastic properties under constant loading conditions. E_i value obtained from deformability test was found to be higher than the E_i value obtained from the constant loading test. This implies that when static values of elastic properties are used, the material is defined as more elastic than the rock material itself. In fact, E_i and ʋ values embedded in empirical equations are not static. Hence, this workattempts to emerge a new understanding in designing of safer structures in rock mass by numerical methods. The use of time-dependent values of E_i and ʋ under different constant loads will yield more accurate results in numerical modeling analysis.

본 논문에서는 국내 몇몇 시험현장에서 수행한 총 54회 단일앵커시험과 4회 실규모 앵커기초에 대한 결과를 제시하였다. 시험결과, 암반앵커의 인발에 대한 파괴메커니즘은 암종 및 암질, 근입깊이, 불연속면의 특성, 텐던의 강도 등에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 불량한 암반내 얕은 앵커의 경우(정착심도 1.0m 이하) 대부분 그라우트-암반 부착파괴로 나타났으나 이러한 경우에도 깊이를 증가시키면 암반파괴를 유도할 수 있다. 반면에, 얕은 앵커기초라 하더라도 암반상태가 좋으면 부착파괴가 아닌 암반파괴의 형태를 보인다. 한편 실내부착강도 시험결과는 표면부터 진행성파괴가 나타나며 점차 아래로 전파된다. 이때 측정된 텐던-그라우트 부착강도는 그라우트 일축압축강도의 약 $18{\sim}25%$로 나타났으며, 방식 쉬이스로 인한 부착강도의 감소는 보이지 않았다. 연구결과로부터 암반앵커시스템의 인발지지력을 지배하는 주요 파라메터를 결정하고 적용 암반의 분류기준을 제시하였으며, 최종적으로 인발에 대한 암반앵커기초의 지지력을 평가할 수 있는 간편화된 절차를 제안하였다.
