By the use of a similar numerical method as the forming limit strain by coating method of coated sheet metals is investigated, in which the FEM is applied and J2G(J2-Gotohs Corner Theory) is utilized as the plasticity constitutive equa-tion. Circular bonded sheet metals with dissimilar sheets on both surface planes are stretched in a plane -strain state, with various work-hardening exponent n-values and thicknesses of each layer. Processes of shear-band formation in such com-posite sheets are clearly illustrated. It is concluded that, it the bonded state, the higher limiting strain of one layer is reduced due to the lower limiting strain of the other layer and vice versa, and does not necessarily obey the rule of linear combination of the limiting strain of each layer weighed according thickness.

By the use of a similar numerical method as that in the previous paper, the forming limit strain by coating method of clad sheet metals is investigated, in which the FEM is applied and J2G(J2-Gotoh's corner theory) is utilized as the plasticity constitutive equation. Clad two-layer sheets and sheets bonded with dissimilar sheets on both surface planes are stretched in a plane-strain state, with various work-hardening exponent n-values and thicknesses of each layer. Processes of shear-band formation in such composite sheets are clearly illustrated. It is concluded that, in the clad state, the higher limiting strain of one layer is reduced due to the lower limiting strain of the other layer and vice versa, and does not necessarily obey the rule of linear combination of the limiting strain of each layer weighted according thickness.

Although a structural analysis based on e linear elastic theory yields good results for deformations and stresses produced by working loads, it fails to assess the teal load-carrying of the plates on the verge of yielding. In case of a limit analysis of plates, the yield line theory is widely used on the basis of the upper bound theorem and theoretically it overestimates the strength of the plate. There is, therefore, a general need for analytical methods of predicting the inelastic behavior and load-carrying capacities of plate subjected to arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. The $\rho$-version of finite element method has been presented for determining the accurate limit load of plates. The numerical results by $\rho$-version model compares with the results obtained by the h-version software ADINA as well as with the available analytical solutions in literatures.

The purpose of this study is to predict the forming limit diagram (FLD) of strain-rate sensitive materials on the basis of the Marciniak and Kuczynski (M-K) theory. The strain-rate effect is taken into consideration in such a way that the stress-strain curves for various strain-rates are inputted into the formulation as point data, not as curve-fitted models such as power function. To solve the nonlinear system of equations derived from the equilibrium and constraints in the groove region and the safe zone, the Newton-Raphson method is used. The theoretical FLDs using four different yield criteria, that are von Mises, Hill (1948), Hill (1979), Logan and Hosford, are compared with the experimental, numerical (FEA) and other theoretical results. A new trial is made where a modified M-K model having n-step grooves is introduced to describe a real localized neck.

During an actual forming operation, a material may undergo considrably large changes in strain path, and these changes can significantly alter the forming limits. So, in this study, modified forming limit curves(FLCs) in complex strain path are determined with specially designed jig to give test specimens with desired prestrains in uniaxial or biaxial deformation mode. In another part of present study, theoretical prediction of FLCs is attempted with MK's theory and Hosford's yield criterion to give forming limit curves in positive minor strain region and with Hill's local necking theory in negative minor strain region. Comparison of these theoretical results with experimental ones will be mentioned for both linear and complex strain path.

In this paper, the penetration process of Shaped charge jet(SCJ) was simulated through finite element analysis to obtain physical quantities such as jet incidence velocity, penetration rate, and penetration increment. As a result of applying these physical quantities to the hydrodynamic theory, it was confirmed that the penetration efficiency of the jet with a high incident velocity is higher than that of the following slow jet. This efficiency decreased sharply when the jet was slower than the hydrodynamic limit(HL). On the other hand, the comparison of penetration increment and jet consumption over time showed that the length extension effect should be considered for SCJ's theoretical penetration analysis.

The aim of this paper is to give a rigorous framework for the interpretation of limit analysis results including large displacements. The presentation is oriented towards unidimensional media (beams) but two-dimensional (plates) or three-dimensional media are also concerned. A single-degree-of-freedom system is first considered: it shows the basic phenomena of large displacement limit analysis or second-order limit analysis. The results are compared to those of a continuous system and the differences between both systems are discussed. Theoretical results are obtained using the kinematical approach of limit analysis. An admissible load-displacement plane is then defined, according to the yield design theory. The methodology used is applied to frame structures. The presented results are nevertheless different from those already published in the literature, as the virtual displacement field can be distinguished from the displacement field at collapse. The simplicity of large displacement limit analysis makes it attractive for practical engineering applications. The load-displacement upper bound can be used for instance in the optimal design of steel frames in seismic areas.

This paper deals with the enhancement of the complex potential navigation for wheeled mobile robots. The circle theorem from complex function theory is used to avoid an obstacle, and the enhancement to avoid multiple obstacles is proposed. The limit cycle navigation can be combined for robot to kick the ball to the intentioned direction. Avoiding step and superposing twin vortices can be applied to adjust the direction of robot's trajectory. The proposed method is verified through a set of simulation works, and the feasibilities for the enhancement of complex potential theory are successful.

An analysis for the prediction of wrinkling formation in curved sheets during metal froming is presented. We construct "Wrinkling Limit diagram"(WLD) which represent the combinations of the critical principal stresses for wrinkling formation in curved sheet elements subjected to biaxial plane stress. Here the scheme of plastic bifurcation theory for thin shells based on the Donnell-Mushtari-Vlasov shell theory is used. In this study, the effects of the material variables (yield stress, plastic hardening coefficient, plastic anisotropic parameter, and so on) and sheet geometry on the critical conditions for wrinkling is carried out numerically.merically.

Design of wireless link in Ka and mm-wave bands is critically affected by rain attenuation. In this paper, we compared and analyzed the main distributions of rain drop size to estimate the rain attenuation which can be used in domestic environment. Mie scattering theory was checked to agree with Rayleigh theory in its low frequency limit and agree with optical scattering theory in its high frequency limit. We intended to provide more specific criteria to estimate rain attenuation with a generalized approach.
