Developed ground cavity due to leakage of decrepit old sewer pipe causes ground surface settlement and brittle fracture of pavement. Recently, for 5 years, frequency of occurrence of ground subsidence phenomenon tends to increase rapidly and/or steadily. It is difficult to investigate ground surface settlement and/or subsidence in urban area because most ground surfaces are covered with asphalt or concrete pavement. In this research, therefore, ground surface settlement, influence zone and settlement of sewer pipe were analyzed using finite element method. Not only reinforced effect of pseudo-plastic backfill that is applied to prevent ground surface settlement or subsidence spot, was compared and analyzed using numerical analysis program, but also direct shear test was carried out to determine strength parameters of pseudo-plastic backfill.

Ferromagnetic material's residual magnetization is remained because of the interaction between domains from external apply field, so the electrical and electronic industry and area of defense development request deperm protocol which makes the residual magnetization to 0. But the deperm protocols which are used theses days are developed by using only experience and experiment, so we have to develop deperm protocol considering hysteresis curve. In this paper, Anhysteretic Deperm, Deperm-ME, Flash-Deperm were analyzed using two dimensional finite element method and Preisach model that was formulated by property of magnetic materials. From that analysis, the relations between hysteresis curve and deperm variable are compared by analyzing the trace of Preisach plane. Also, an efficient current ratio of deperm protocol, is proposed.

In the process to manufacture for metallic structures, control of welding deformation is one of an important problems connected with reliability of the manufactured structures so that welding deformation should be measured and controlled with quickly and actively. Also, welding parameters which have as lot of effects on welding deformation such as arc voltage, welding current and welding speed can also be controlled. The objectives for this study were to develop a simple 2-D FEM to calculate not only the transient thermal histories but also the sizes of fusion and heat-affected zone (HAZ) in multi pass arc welds including the butt and fillet weld type with dissimilar thickness, and to concentrate on a developed model for the finding the parameters of Godak's moving heat source model based on a GA. The developed model includes a GA program using MATLB and GA toolbox, and a batch mode thermal model using ANSYS software. Not only the thermal model was verified by comparison with Goldak's work but also the developed model was validated with molten zone section experimental data.

Roll-to-roll forming process is one of important metal processing technology because the process is simple and economical. These days, with these merits, roll-to-roll forming process is tried to be employed in manufacturing the circuit board, barrier ribs and solar cell plate. The solar cell plate may have millions of patterns, and the analysis of forming considering all the patterns is impossible due to the computational costs. In this study, analyses are carried out for various numbers of patterns and the results are compared. It is shown that the analyses results with four row patterns and twelve row patterns are same. So, it is considered that the analysis can be carried out for only four rows of pattern for the design of incremental roll-to-roll forming process. Also formability is analysed for various number of mesh, protrusion shapes and forming temperature.

Forward modeling by construction of synthetic data is usually practiced in a horizontal surface and a few subsurface structures. However, in-situ surveys often take place in such topographic changes that the corrupted field data always make it difficult to interpret the right signals. To examine the propagation characteristic of elastic waves on the irregular surface, a general mesh generation code for finite element method was modified to consider the topography. By implementing this algorithm, the time domain modeling was practiced in some models with surface topography such as mound, channel, etc. The synthetic data obtained by receivers placed on surface also agreed with the analytic solution. The snapshots showing the total wave-field revealed the propagation characteristic of the elastic waves through complex subsurface structures and helped to identify the signals on the time traces. The transmission of Rayleigh waves along the surface, compressive waves, and sheer waves was observed. Moreover, it turned out that the Rayleigh waves behave like a new source at the edge.

Recently, as steel structures become higher and more long-spanned, application of high strength steel. SM570, is considered, For accurate seismic design, seismic analysis of steel structures needs a constitutive equation describing the characteristic of steel materials under non-proportional cyclic loading, While the use of SM570 material is much increased these days, research for description and generalization of cyclic plasticity behavior are insufficient, In this study, a cyclic plasticity model is proposed by results of material tests, i.e, monotonic and low cycle tests, Proposed cyclic plasticity model is applied to 3-Dimensional FE program and we carried out seismic analysis of pipe-section steel pier using SM570, Comparison between experiment and analysis results shows that the proposed constitutive equation is able to describe exactly the complicated plastic behavior of steel structure using SM570.

A buffer in a geological disposal system minimizes groundwater inflow from the surrounding rock and protects the disposed high-level waste (HLW) against any mechanical impact. As decay heat of a spent fuel causes temperature variation in the buffer that affects the mechanical performance of the system, an accurate estimation of the temperature variation is substantial. The temperature variation is affected by thermal and material properties of the system such as thermal conductivity, density and specific heat capacity of the buffer, and thus these factors should be properly included in the design of the system. In particular, as the thermal properties are variable depending on the density and water content of the buffer, consideration of the effects should be included in the analysis. Hence, in this study, a numerical model based on finite element method (FEM) which is able to consider the change of density and water content of the buffer was established. In addition, using the numerical model, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of each thermal property on the temperature variation of the buffer.

A magnetic cable that can safely deliver high frequency AC electric power in flammable or sensitive workplaces by preventing from arcs and electric shocks is firstly proposed in this paper. Several new magnetic cable structures with magnetic shields, which are composed of such cancel coil, cancel copper plate, and cancel copper pipe, were compactly implemented by considering and analyzing fringe field and thus the parallel leakage flux is drastically reduced. The output power and efficiency of a prototype magnetic cable with 1.5 m length and 5 cm gap were measured as 353.8W and 68%, where the source current and switching frequency were 10 $A_{rms}$ and 20 kHz, respectively. The proposed magnetic cables are fully analyzed and verified by finite-element method (FEM) simulations and experiments. The results are in a good agreement.

자성체를 포함하는 자기 시스템을 해석하는데 있어 비선형과 히스테리시스(Hysteresis)는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 재질의 히스테리시스 특성을 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 계산하기 위해서 많은 방법들이 소개되었다. 단순 반복법이나 Fixed Point Technique(FPT), M-iteration 법. 뉴튼 랍슨 (Newton-Raphson) 법 등이 그 예이다. 이 방법들 중에서 뉴튼 랍슨법은 빠른 수렴 특성으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 뉴튼-랍슨법을 이용하여 히스테리시스 재질을 해석할 때는 매 반복 계산 때마다 계 계수행렬(System Stiffness matrix)이 변화하기 때문에 요소의 수가 매우 많을 경우 역행렬을 계산하기 위한 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 특히 히스테리시스 해석의 경우에는 주로 time-step법을 이용하여 계산하므로 가장 시간이 많이 소요되는 행렬 계산 시간을 단축함으로써 전체 계산 시간을 크게 줄일 수 있다. 최근 비선형 해석에서 TLM(Transmission Line Modeling)법이 도입되어 비선형 해석 시의 계산 시간을 크게 단축할 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 비선형 해석에 적용된 TLM법을 히스테리시스 해석에 적용하는 방법을 새로 제안한다. TLM법은 뉴튼-랍슨법과 달리 각 반복 계산 때마다 계수행렬식이 변화하지 않고 단지 구동항만 변하기 때문에 행렬의 LU를 한 번 저장해 두면 forward와 backward substitution만 시행하면 된다. 따라서 요소의 수가 증가할 경우 TLM법을 사용하면 뉴튼-랍슨법에 비해 매우 큰 계산 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 TLM법을 히스테리시스에 적용하는 방법을 기술하고 간단한 모델에 이 방법을 적용하여 뉴튼-랍슨법과의 비교를 통해 TLM법의 효용성을 보인다.

Cast in situ and grouted concrete helical piles with 150-200 mm diameter half cylindrical ribs have become an economical and effective choice in Shanghai, China for uplift piles in deep soft soils. Though this type of pile has been successful used in practice, the reinforcing mechanism and the contribution of the ribs to the total resistance is not clear, and there is no clear guideline for the design of such piles. To study the inclusion of ribs to the contribution of shear resistance, the shear behaviour between silty sand and concrete slabs with parallel ribs at different spacing and angles were tested in a large direct shear box ($600mm{\times}400mm{\times}200mm$). The front panels of the shear box are detachable to observe the soil deformation after the test. The tests were modelled with three-dimensional finite element method in ABAQUS. It was found that, passive zones can be developed ahead of the ribs to form undulated failure surfaces. The shear resistance and failure mode are affected by the ratio of rib spacing to rib diameter. Based on the shape and continuity of the failure zones at the interface, the failure modes at the interface can be classified as "punching", "local" or "general" shear failure respectively. With the inclusion of the ribs, the pull out resistance can increase up to 17%. The optimum rib spacing to rib diameter ratio was found to be around 7 based on the observed experimental results and the numerical modelling.
