  • 일반적으로 비선형 정자계 문제를 해석하기 위해서 뉴튼-�N슨(Newton -Raphson : NR)법이 이용된다. 하지만 뉴튼-�N슨법의 경우 각 반복계산 때마다 새로운 선형 시스템의 해를 구하기 위해서 LU-decomposition과 같은 과정을 매 반복계산 때마다 시행해야 하므로 절점(node)의 수가 증가할 경우 계산시간이 증가한다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서 최근 TLM (Transmission Line Modeling)법이 새로운 반복계산법으로 비선형 유한 요소 해석에 적용되었으며 뉴튼-�N슨법에 비해 훨씬 우수한 특성을 보여주었다. 하지만 지금까지의 TLM법은 2차원의 정식화만 이루어졌고 3차원에는 적용되지 못한 것이 사실이다. 본 논문에서는 3차원의 비선형 정자계 문제에 TLM법을 적용할 수 있는 수식을 최초로 제안하며 3차원 코어(core)모델에 대해 TLM법을 적용하여 그 타당성을 검증하기로 한다. 또한 3차원 비선형 TLM법을 이용한 해석 결과가 뉴튼-�N슨법에 의한 결과와 완전히 일치하며 수렴 속도에 있어서도 훨씬 향상된 결과를 나타냄을 보이도록 하겠다.

  • Ambient vibration tests were carried out to evaluate the dynamic properties of an asymmetric steel building with semi-rigid connections. The test case has many non-structural elements, constructed in the city of Tehran (Iran). The tests were conducted to obtain natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratio of the structure and then Fourier transform were used to analyze the velocity records obtained from the tests. The first and second natural periods of the building were obtained as 1.37 s and 1.28 s through the test and damping ratio for the first mode was calculated as 0.047. However, Natural periods obtained from finite element model have higher values from those gained from ambient vibration. Then the model was calibrated by modeling of the in-fill masonry panels at their exact locations and considering the boundary conditions by modeling two blocks near the block No. 3, but the differences were existed. These differences may be due to some hidden stiffness of nonstructural elements in the low range of elastic behavior, showing the structure stiffer than it is in reality.

  • The tooth profile of helical gear that is manufactured by the rack cutter consists of the involute curve and the trochoid curve. However, gear designers are very hard to calculate the exact profile because it needs very complex information about the gear manufacturing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop the automatic generation program for the helical gear using the Solid Works API. First, involute and trochoide coordinates by the rack cutter are calculated. Using the data, Visual Basic program for the helical gear model is coded. This work gives us the quick helical gear modeling and can be used as the modeling for the finite element analysis.

  • The purpose of this study is an optimization of gate valve made by forging method instead of welding method. In this study, we propose an optimal shape design to improve the mechanical efficiency of gate valve. In order to optimize more efficiently and reliably, the meta-modeling technique has been developed to solve such a complex problems combined with the DACE (Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments). The DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the function. Also, we prove reliability of the DACE model's application to gate valve by computer simulations using FEM(Finite Element Method).

  • In this paper, a model updating technique in dynamics is used to identify elastic properties for pultruded GFRP-Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic framed structural systems used in civil construction. Traditional identification techniques for composite materials may be expensive, while this alternative approach allows to identify several properties simultaneously, with very good precision. Furthermore, the procedure of a non-destructive type has a relatively simple implementation. Properties describing the mechanical behavior for beam and shell finite element modeling are identified. The used formulation is based on the minimization of eigensolution residuals. Important points concerning model updating procedures have been observed, such as the particular vibrational behavior of the test structure, the modeling strategies and the optimal placement of the sensors in the experimental procedure. Results obtained by experimental tests show the efficiency of the proposed procedure.

  • This paper deals with the ellipse permanent magnet machines for the minimization of torque ripple based on electromagnetic field theory. On the basis of a magnetic vector potential and a two dimensional (2-D) polar system, analytical solutions for flux density due to permanent magnet (PM) and current are obtained. In particular, the analytical solutions for mathematical expressions of magnets with different circumferential thicknesses can be solved introducing improved magnetization modeling techniques. The analytical results are validated extensively be nonlinear finite element solutions, a reduction of torque ripple can be achieved.

  • The inter-turn fault (ITF) causes the negative sequence components in the d -q voltage equation due to an increase in the unbalance of three-phase input currents. For this reason, d -q voltage equation become complicate as the voltage equation is classified into positive and negative components. In this study, we propose a simplified d -q equivalent circuit of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor under ITF state. First, we proposed modeling method for d -q current based on the finite element method simulation results. Then, we developed the simplified d -q equivalent circuit by applying the proposed d -q current modeling.
