Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted to accurately evaluate the in-plane mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). The FMLs in the current study are comprised of a layer of self-reinforced polypropylene (SRPP) sandwiched between two layers of aluminum alloy 5052-H34. The nonlinear tensile behavior of the FMLs under in-plane loading conditions was investigated using both numerical simulations and a theoretical analysis. The numerical simulation was based on finite element modeling using the ABAQUS/Explicit code and the theoretical constitutive model was based on the volume fraction approach using the rule of mixture and a modification of the classical lamination theory, which incorporates the elastic-plastic behavior of the aluminum alloy and the SRPP. The simulations and the model are used to predict the inplane mechanical properties such as stress-strain response and deformation behavior of the FMLs. In addition, a post-stretching process is used to reduce the thermal residual stresses before uniaxial tensile testing of the FMLs. Through comparison of both the numerical simulations and the theoretical analysis with the experimental results, it is concluded that the numerical simulation model and the theoretical approach can describe with sufficient accuracy the actual tensile stress-strain behavior of the FMLs.

We aimed to propose a novel computational approach to predict the electromechanical performance of pre- and post-mitral valve cerclage annuloplasty (MVCA). Furthermore, we tested a virtual estimation method to optimize the left ventricular basement tightening scheme using a pre-MVCA computer model. The present model combines the three-dimensional (3D) electromechanics of the ventricles with the vascular hemodynamics implemented in a lumped parameter model. 3D models of pre- and post-MVCA were reconstructed from the computed tomography (CT) images of two patients and simulated by solving the electromechanical-governing equations with the finite element method. Computed results indicate that reduction of the dilated heart chambers volume (reverse remodeling) appears to be dependent on ventricular stress distribution. Reduced ventricular stresses in the basement after MVCA treatment were observed in the patients who showed reverse remodeling of heart during follow up over 6 months. In the case who failed to show reverse remodeling after MVCA, more virtual tightening of the ventricular basement diameter than the actual model can induce stress unloading, aiding in heart recovery. The simulation result that virtual tightening of the ventricular basement resulted in a marked increase of myocardial stress unloading provides in silico evidence for a functional impact of MVCA treatment on cardiac mechanics and post-operative heart recovery. This technique contributes to establishing a pre-operative virtual rehearsal procedure before MVCA treatment by using patient-specific cardiac electromechanical modeling of pre-MVCA.

연소가스에 의한 내압 조건에서 필라멘트 와인딩 공법으로 제작되는 복합재 연소관은 돔에서 구조적으로 취약해진다. 본 논문에서는 압력분포비(PDR) 변화에 따른 복합재 돔의 파열압력을 비교하기 위해 유한 요소 해석을 수행하였다. 돔 내/외면 응력, 금속 보스 체적을 산출함으로써, 정량적으로 복합재 연소관의 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과, PDR 2.5-3.0에서 파손 모드의 임계점이 존재함을 확인하였다. PDR 2.5-3.5 설계는 연소관 파열압력의 변동 없이 금속 보스 무게 감량이 가능하며, 돔 형상 및 오프닝 크기에 대해 설계 기준값이 변경되므로 해석 및 시험을 통한 규명이 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 터널의 상부에 작용하는 토압을 평가하는데 있어서 기존의 Terzaghi 공식이 가지는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 흙의 팽창성(Dilatancy)을 고려하여 Terzaghi 공식을 수정하였다. Terzaghi 공식과 수정식에 대한 수학적 해석결과, 터널의 토압은 수정식이 Terzaghi 공식에 비해 작게 나타났으며 토피고가 커질수록 그 차이는 증가하였다. 터널모형실험 결과와 비교해 본 결과, Terzaghi 공식에 의해 계산된 상부토압은 굴착 전 토압의 약 70%이며, 수정식에 의하면 약 60% 정도로 나타났고, 터널모형실험에 의해 측정된 토압은 약 40% 정도 임을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 유한요소해석을 이용하여 Terzaghi 공식과 수정식에 의해 산정된 터널 상부토압과 전단변형률을 비교해본 결과 수학적 해석결과와 동일하게 수정식이 Terzaghi 공식보다 작게 나타났다.

Although it has recently been regulated for use as an eco-friendly policy in Korea, the use of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) cooling boxes, which are used as cold chain delivery insulation boxes for fresh agricultural and livestock products, is also increasing rapidly as e-commerce logistics such as delivery have increased rapidly due to COVID-19. Studies were conducted to optimize the EPS cooling container through internal air heat flow of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis and FEM (Finite Element Method) random vibration analysis using domestic PSD (Power Spectral Density) profile of the EPS cooling box to which the refrigerant is applied in this study. In the analysis of the internal air heat flow by the refrigerant in the EPS cooling box, the application of vertical protrusions inside was excellent in volume heat flow and internal air temperature distribution. In addition, as a result of random vibration analysis, the internal vertical protrusion gives the rigid effect of the cooling box, so that displacement and stress generation due to vibration during transport are smaller than that of a general cooling container without protrusion. By utilizing the resonance point (frequency) of the EPS cooling box derived by the Model analysis of ANSYS Software, it can be applied to the insulation and cushion packaging design of the EPS product line, which is widely used as insulation and cushion materials.

CT영상을 기반으로 한 QCT는 CT장비와 컴퓨터영상처리기술의 발전과 함께 적은 방사선 투과양으로도 체적골밀도를 측정할 수 있는 방향으로 크게 발전하고 있다. 방사선 의료영상을 대표적인 골밀도 측정법인 이중방사선흡수계수법(DXA)은 척추나 근위대퇴골과 다른 뼈와의 상관성이 떨어지는 경우가 많고질량효과에 의한 부정확성의 근본 원인을 가지고 있기 때문에 체적골밀도측정법인 단일에너지CT영상을 이용한 QCT법이 가장 보편적인 정확한 골밀도 측정법이다. 이중에너지CT의 사용은 단단한 뼈와 동시에 종양이나 연부조직의 이상을 같이 볼 수 있는 영상을 얻을 수 있게 되어 QCT 골밀도와 함께 특정연부조직이나 장기를 검사할 수 있어 그 사용이 더욱 늘어날 것으로 예상된다. 임상수술이나 추적검사가 필요한 위치에 사용자가 해부학적으로 특정한 형상체적에 대한 국부골밀도측정 방법도 병원의 임상현장에서 활용할 기술로 대두되고 있다.

Investigating the impact of openings on the structural behavior of ferrocement I-beams with two distinct types of reinforcing metallic and non-metallic meshes is the primary goal of the current study. Up until failure, eight 250x200x2200 mm reinforced concrete I-beams were tested under flexural loadings. Depending on the kind of meshes used for reinforcement, the beams are split into two series. A control I-beam with no openings and three beams with one, two, and three openings, respectively, are found in each series. The two series are reinforced with three layers of welded steel meshes and two layers of tensar meshes, respectively, in order to maintain a constant reinforcement ratio. Structural parameters of investigated beams, including first crack, ultimate load, deflection, ductility index, energy absorption, strain characteristics, crack pattern, and failure mode were reported. The number of mesh layers, the volume fraction of reinforcement, and the kind of reinforcing materials are the primary factors that vary. This article presents the outcomes of a study that examined the experimental and numerical performance of ferrocement reinforced concrete I-beams with and without openings reinforced with welded steel mesh and tensar mesh separately. Utilizing ANSYS-16.0 software, nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) was applied to illustrate how composite RC I-beams with openings behaved. In addition, a parametric study is conducted to explore the variables that can most significantly impact the mechanical behavior of the proposed model, such as the number of openings. The FE simulations produced an acceptable degree of experimental value estimation, as demonstrated by the obtained experimental and numerical results. It is also noteworthy to demonstrate that the strength gained by specimens without openings reinforced with tensar meshes was, on average, 22% less than that of specimens reinforced with welded steel meshes. For specimens with openings, this value is become on average 10%.

In recent decades, the protection and vulnerability of civil structures under explosion loads became a critical issue in terms of security, which may cause loss of lives and structural damage. Concrete retaining walls also restrict soils and slopes from displacements; meanwhile, intensive temporary loading may cause massive damage. In the current study, the modified Johnson-Holmquist (also known as J-H2) material model is implemented for concrete materials to model damages into the ABAQUS through user-subroutines to predict the blasting-induced concrete damages and volume strains. For this purpose, a 3D finite-element model of the concrete retaining wall was conducted in coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation. Subsequently, a blast load equal to 500 kg of TNT was considered in three different positions due to UFC 3-340-02. Influences of the critical parameters in smooth blastings, such as distance from a free face, position, and effective blasting time, on concrete damage rate and destroy patterns, are explored. According to the simulation results, the concrete penetration pattern at the same distance is significantly influenced by the density of the progress environment. The result reveals that the progress of waves and the intensity of damages in free-air blasting is entirely different from those that progress in a dense surrounding atmosphere such as soil. Half-damaged elements in air blasts are more than those of embedded explosions, but dense environments such as soil impose much more pressure in a limited zone and cause more destruction in retaining walls.
