This paper presents FE analysis on the stress and displacement behavior safeties of dome roof structures for a LNG outer tank, which is constructed by sets of H beams and reinforced concrete. The excitation force of 0.2g is applied at the center of the bottom concrete structure of an outer tank. The computed FEM results indicated that the maximum von Mises stress was shown at the edge of dome roof structure and the maximum displacement was produced at the center of dome roof. The results showed that the concentrated stress and displacement were steadily increased for an increased number of H beams. This means that the number of H beams does not critically affect to the safety of the dome roof structure because the stiffness of a reinforced concrete structure is much higher than that of H beams. Thus, the number of H beams may be restricted under 60 due to a dead weight of H beams for 0.2g excitation force.

Research about the geometry design of lead pin was carried based on the normal or shear stress of the interface between a lead pin and a PCB in terms of delamination failure. The taguchi method with four design factors of three levels and FEA(Finite element Analysis) are carried under $20^{\circ}$ bending and 50 ${\mu}m$ tension of lead pin. The contact width, d2, between head round and copper pad in PCB is the highest affection factor among design factors by analysis of contribution analysis. Equivalent von Mises stress of 18.7% reduction design is obtained by the parameter design of the taguchi method. Maximum normal stress occurred at contact position between solder outer surface and a Cu pad in PCB. Also, maximum shear stress happened at contact position between solder outer surface and SR layer of PCB. From these calculated results, delamination of the PGA package may be occurred from outer interface of solder to inner interface of solder.

Seals are very useful machine components in protection of leakage of lubricant or working fluid, and incoming of debris from outside. Various elastomer are widely used as sealing materials and the shaft surfaces are generally coated with high hardness material after heat treatment. It is generally known that the foreign debris and wear particles get stuck into sealing surface, the steel shaft surface can be damaged and worn by mainly abrasive wear. In this paper, using MARC, contact analysis are conducted to show the hard coated steel shaft surface can be fatigue failed by very small elastic particle intervened between seal and steel surface. Variations of contact and von-Mises stress distributions and contact half-widths with interference and coating thickness are presented. The maximum von-Mises stress occurs always in the coating layer or between coated layer/substrate interface. Therefore the coated sealing surface can be fatigued and then failed by very small particles. The results can be used in design of sealing surface and further studies are required.

In this paper, buckling conditions and retrofitting of cylindrical steel water storage tanks with different roof types and wall thicknesses were investigated by using finite element method. Four roof types of cylindrical steel tanks which are open-top, flat-closed, conical-closed and torispherical-closed and three wall thicknesses of 4, 6 and 8 mm were considered in FE modeling of cylindrical steel tanks. The roof shapes significantly affect load distribution on the tank shell under the seismic action. Composite FRP materials are widely used for winding thin-walled cylindrical steel structures. The retrofitting efficiency of cylindrical steel water tank is tested under the seismic loading with the externally bonded CFRP laminates. In retrofitting of cylindrical steel tank, the CFRP composite material coating method was used to improve of seismic performance of cylindrical steel tanks. ANSYS software was used to analyze the cylindrical steel tanks and maximum equivalent (von-Mises) and directional deformation were obtained. Equivalent (von-Mises) stresses significantly decreased due to the coating of the tank shell with FRP composite material. In thin-walled steel structures, excessive stress causes buckling and deformations. Therefore, retrofitting led to decrease in stress, reductions in directional and buckling deformation of the open-top, flat-closed, conical-closed and torispherical-closed tanks.

In order to investigate the thermal cracking of the rolling stock brake disc, finite element analysis was conducted on the temperature distribution and thermal stress of the disc during braking. In case of initial vehicle speed of 90, 106, 120km/h, the maximum temperature on the disk surface due to braking was $135.9^{\circ}C,\;157.9^{\circ}C,\;178.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. And, the maximum von-Mises stress at the disc surface was 42.4, 50.3, 57.1MPa at a speed of 90, 105, 120km/h, respectively, indicating that the stress increases with an increment in the speed. Damage fraction due to braking during one year running on the Seoul - Busan line was determined as 14.6%.

PURPOSE. To analyze stress distribution in premolars restored with inlays or onlays using various materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three-dimensional maxillary premolar models of abutments were designed to include the following: 1) inlay with O cavity (O group), 2) inlay with MO cavity (MO group), 3) inlay with MOD cavity (MOD group), and 4) onlay (ONLAY group). A restoration of each inlay or onlay cavity was simulated using gold alloy, e.max ceramic, or composite resin for restoration. To simulate masticatory forces, a total of 140 N static axial force was applied onto the tooth at the occlusal contact areas. A finite element analysis was performed to predict the magnitude and pattern of stresses generated by occlusal loading. RESULTS. Maximum von Mises stress values generated in the abutment teeth of the ONLAY group were ranged from 26.1 to 26.8 MPa, which were significantly lower than those of inlay groups (O group: 260.3-260.7 MPa; MO group: 252.1-262.4 MPa; MOD group: 281.4-298.8 MPa). Maximum von Mises stresses generated with ceramic, gold, and composite restorations were 280.1, 269.9, and 286.6 MPa, respectively, in the MOD group. They were 252.2, 248.0, 255.1 MPa, respectively, in the ONLAY group. CONCLUSION. The onlay design (ONLAY group) protected tooth structures more effectively than inlay designs (O, MO, and MOD groups). However, stress magnitudes in restorations with various dental materials exhibited no significant difference among groups (O, MO, MOD, ONLAY).

In this study, 5-axis machining was proposed as a method for manufacturing a nozzle with a curved shape, and flow analysis and structural analysis were used for structural validation of the manufactured geometry. The program used for CFD obtained the internal temperature and pressure distribution of the nozzle using STAR-CCM+ and used it as the boundary condition for structural analysis. For structural analysis, the commercial program NASTRAN was used, and stress was calculated using the von-mises technique. Based on the maximum stress value generated, the safety margin was 0.78 and the safety margin of the bearing stress was 46.8. In addition, the creep life was calculated as 9.97 x 1012 hours using the Larson-Miller parametric method and applying the maximum stress value of 187 MPa and the exhaust gas perfectly mixed temperature of 463 K.

In this study, the safest model can be selected by the simulation result of structural safety analysis according to the shape of impact bar affected at side door of automobile. The open sectional model of semicircle type has the lowest deformation and stress among 4 kinds of models. As the weight of this model has 30% in comparison with other models, it becomes most economical and stable. As the open sectional model of cap type the highest deformation and stress among 4 kinds of models, it becomes weakest. The closed models with circular and rectangular types has the stress far lower than cap type. The maximum deformation is shown at the center part of impact bar but the maximum stress occurs at the joint part between impact bar and frame.

In this study, 3 kinds of holes (square, circular and elliptic holes) are attempted on a cantilever to reduce the weight by 30%. Maximum Von-Mises stresses of cantilever plate with 3 kinds of holes are investigated. For the elliptic holes, a shape optimization is attempted to fad the optimum angle of axis by rotating the axis by $10^{\circ}\; from\; 50^{\circ}\; to\; 120^{\circ}\;$ From the results, it is known that the maximum stress is decreased to 0.868 MPa by rotation of the axis of elliptic hole and 0.26 MPa is decreased compared with the maximum stress occurred on the circular hole.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in bone and displacement distribution of the miniscrew according to the length and number of the miniscrews used for the fixation of miniplate, and the direction of orthodontic force. Methods: Four types of finite element models were designed to show various lengths (6 mm, 4 mm) and number (3, 2) of 2 mm diameter miniscrew used for the fixation of six holes for a curvilinear miniplate. A traction force of 4 N was applied at $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ to an imaginary axis connecting the two most distal unfixed holes of the miniplate. Results: The smaller the number of the miniscrew and the shorter the length of the miniscrew, the more the maximum von Mises stress in the bone and maximum displacement of the miniscrew increased. Most von Mises stress in the bone was absorbed in the cortical portion rather than in the cancellous portion. The more the angle of the applied force to the imaginary axis increased, the more the maximum von Mises stress in the bone and maximum displacement of the miniscrew increased. The maximum von Mises stress in the bone and maximum displacement of the miniscrew were measured around the most distal screw-fixed area. Condusions: The results suggest that the miniplate system should be positioned in the rigid cortical bone with 3 miniscrews of 2 mm diameter and 6 mm length, and its imaginary axis placed as parallel as possible to the direction of orthodontic force to obtain good primary stability.
