단면의 형상이 길이방향으로 일정한 무한길이 도파관 구조물 (waveguide structures)에 대한 진동 및 파동전파 특성은 도파관유한요소법 (waveguide finite element method, WFEM)을 이용해 효과적으로 해석할 수 있다. 도파관유한요소법은 2차원 단면만을 FE 모델링하여 해석하므로 모델의 크기가 작고 연산시간이 짧다는 장점이 있다. 도파관 구조물이 외부 유체와 연성된 경우, 원통형 실린더 또는 파이프와 같이 단면의 형상이 단순한 경우에는 이론적 해석을 수행할 수 있다. 반면 복잡한 형상의 단면을 가진 도파관구조물이 유체와 연성된 경우에는 수치해석 방법이 요구된다. 외부 유체와 연성된 도파관 구조물은 외부 유체와 도파관유한요소 (WFE)를 연성시켜 해석하는 수치해석 방법을 고려할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 외부 유체 모델링에 경계요소 (Boundary Element)를 도입하고 이를 도파관유한요소와 연성시킨 WFE/BE 방법을 소개한다. 이 방법의 적용 예로써 단순형상의 파이프에 대해 외부 유체의 유/무에 따른 분산선도와 가진점 모빌리티 (point mobility)를 구하고 이를 이론해석 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 WFE/BE 방법을 이용해 파이프에서 외부 유체로 방사되는 음향파워를 구하고 접수 유/무에 따른 영향을 살펴보았다.

According to recent figures, 35% of the world's blades are made using prepreg blades, by Vestas and Gamesa. They are the most advanced in the market today. In this study, we investigated the validity of the finite element method (FEM) applied to an FE analysis of a hybrid composite wind-turbine blade. Two methods were suggested for a composite FE analysis: using the equivalent properties of the composite or using stacking properties. FE analysis results using the stacking properties of the composite were in good agreement with results of using the equivalent properties. The difference between FE results was approximately 0.6~13.3%.

The standard practice is to seismically qualify the safety related equipment and structural components used in the nuclear power plants. Among several qualification approaches the qualification by the analysis using finite element (FE) method is the most common approach used in practice. However the predictions by the FE model for a structure is known to show significant deviations from the dynamic behaviour of 'as installed' structure in many cases. Considering such limitation, few researchers have advocated re-qualification of such structures after installation at site to enhance the confidence in qualification vis-$\grave{a}$-vis plant safety. For such an exercise the validation of FE model with experimental modal data is important. A validated FE model can be obtained by the Model Updating methods in conjugation with the in-situ experimental modal data. Such a model can then be used for qualification. Seismic analysis using the updated FE model and its advantage has been presented through an example of an in-core component - a perforated horizontal tube of a nuclear reactor.

The main objective of this paper is to propose a new Finite Element (FE) model updating technique for damped beam structures. The present method consists of a FE model updating, a Degree of Freedom (DOF) reduction method and a damping matrix identification method. In order to accomplish the goal of this study, first, a sensitivity-based FE model updating method using the natural frequencies and the zero frequencies is introduced. Second, an Iterated Improved Reduced System (IIRS) technique is employed to reduce the number of DOF of FE model. Third, a damping matrix is estimated using modal damping ratios identified by a curve-fitting method and modified matrices which are obtained through the model updating and the DOF reduction. The proposed FE model updating method is verified using a real cantilever beam attached damping material on one side. The updated result shows that the proposed method can lead to accurate model updating of damped structures.

In this paper, the residual stresses for the wide-band laser heat treatment using a polygon mirror have been analyzed. The results of FE analysis are compared with the experimental results. ANSYS Version 5.3, a commercial FE-code, is used for the FE stress analysis. The structural analysis was performed on after thermal analysis. The residual stress distribution across the hardened area was measured by the X-ray diffraction technique. The laser hardening conditions, 2kW laser power and 2mm/s travel speed, were used for the experiment and the FE analysis. Analysis results, which is maximum tensile residual stress is about 143MPa and maximum compressive residual stress is about -380MPa. Under same parameters with the analysis, experimental results indicate that MTRS is about 152MPa and MCRS is about -312MPa. The experimental results is about 6% higher than the FE analysis. As a result, residual stress data from the experiment close well with that of the FE analysis.

Static and dynamic response of a mechanical system can be easily and readily obtained using an approximate method such as the Finite Element Method. However, FE solution cannot be totally trusted, since there are many numerical uncertainies inherent in an FE analysis. FE solution error can be estimated based on FE analysis result. Error estimator shows the quality of the FE solution, and helps FE users to enhance the accuracy of the FE solution.

This paper focuses on the finite element (FE) response sensitivity and reliability analyses considering smooth constitutive material models. A reinforced concrete frame is modeled for FE sensitivity analysis followed by direct differentiation method under both static and dynamic load cases. Later, the reliability analysis is performed to predict the seismic behavior of the frame. Displacement sensitivity discontinuities are observed along the pseudo-time axis using non-smooth concrete and reinforcing steel model under quasi-static loading. However, the smooth materials show continuity in response sensitivity at elastic to plastic transition points. The normalized sensitivity results are also used to measure the relative importance of the material parameters on the structural responses. In FE reliability analysis, the influence of smoothness behavior of reinforcing steel is carefully noticed. More efficient and reasonable reliability estimation can be achieved by using smooth material model compare with bilinear material constitutive model.

This paper presents a sensitivity-based finite element (FE)-model update procedure for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridge model using vibration test results. Firstly, the stiffness parameters of the structure such as flexural rigidity of concrete and flexural rigidity of tendon are chosen as updating parameters. Next, the numerical frequencies of first two bending modes are calculated using a three-dimensional FE model which is established for the PSC girder. Then, the corresponding experimental frequencies which are obtained from forced vibration tests are selected. In order to perform the model update, the eigensensitivity-based method is employed. Finally, the effect of prestress-loss on the stiffness parameters is evaluated.

This paper presents a micro-mechanical model of ductile fracture for the API X65 steel using the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model. Experimental tests and FE damage simulations using the GTN model are performed for smooth and notched tensile bars, from which the parameters in the GTN model are calibrated. As application, the developed GTN model is applied to simulate small-sized, single-edge-cracked tensile and bend bars, via three-dimensional FE damage analyses. Comparison of FE damage analysis results with experimental test data shows overall good agreements.

The present article examines the static response of multilayered magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) beam in thermal environment through finite element (FE) methods. On the basis of the minimum total potential energy principle and the coupled constitutive equations of MEE material, the FE equilibrium equations of cantilever MEE beam is derived. Maxwell's equations are considered to establish the relation between electric field and electric potential; magnetic field and magnetic potential. A simple condensation approach is employed to solve the global FE equilibrium equations. Further, numerical evaluations are made to examine the influence of different in-plane and through-thickness temperature distributions on the multiphysics response of MEE beam. A parametric study is performed to evaluate the effect of stacking sequence and different temperature profiles on the direct and derived quantities of MEE beam. It is believed that the results presented in this article serve as a benchmark for accurate design and analysis of the MEE smart structures in thermal applications.
