자동차 산업에서 안전에 대한 법적인 요구 및 시장 수요의 증가에 따라 강도와 경량화라는 안전과 환경에 대한 상반된 목적을 만족시켜야 하기 때문에 일체형 시트의 설계는 점점 더 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국시험규정 FMVSS210에 따라 외연적 유한 요소해석 프로그램인 LS-Dyna를 사용하여 시트 충돌해석을 수행하였다 하지만 충돌해석은 많은 해석시간을 요구하기 때문에 효율적이고 신뢰성 있는 최적설계기법이 요구된다. 따라서 통계적 기법인 실험계획법과 반응표면모델을 적용하여 많은 해석시간을 요구하는 LS-Dyna해석을 가능한 줄이고 비선형 최적설계 알고리즘을 적용하여 강도와 경량화를 동시에 최적화하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 실험계획법을 사용하여 최대 변위 및 총중량에 대한 설계영역을 탐색하고 반응표면모델을 구성하여 최적설계를 수행하였다.

테라헤르츠 광원인 포토믹서의 출력을 향상시키기 위하여 강한 공진의 복사부와 안정적인 DC 급전부로 구성된 네잎클로버 형태의 새로운 안테나구조를 제안하였다. 먼저 복사환경을 단순화시킨 무한기판 위에서 제안한 안테나구조의 공진특성을 살펴보았고, 이를 바탕으로 제안한 구조가 확장형 반구렌즈 위에서 최대의 전체효율과 지향성을 지니도록 설계하였다. 기존의 전파장다이폴안테나와 비교한 결과, 제안한 구조는 공진주파수에서 6배 이상의 높은 입력임피던스 특성을 가짐으로써 포토믹서와의 부정합효율을 크게 개선시켰으며, 이로 인해 테라헤르츠 출력이 전파장 다이폴의 경우보다 2.7배 높게 예상되었다.

In order to study current-voltage-luminance and impedance characteristics according to elapsed time, a blue fluorescent OLED was fabricated. The current density and luminance gradually decreased in accordance with elapsed time and did not emit light after 480 hours, and the threshold voltage increased as time elapsed. The Cole-Cole plot was a semicircular shape of a very large size at 2 V of the applied voltage below the threshold voltage, and the maximum value of the real number impedance did not change greatly from 9314.5 to $9902.2{\Omega}$ as time elapsed. Applied voltages 4, 6, and 8 V above the threshold voltage showed a large change in the real number impedance value at the semicircle end to 9,678.2, 9,826, $9,535.4{\Omega}$ according to the elapsed time from 2,222.5, 183.7, $48.2{\Omega}$ immediately after fabricating the device. By increasing the applied voltage beyond the threshold voltage just after device fabrication, the energy difference between the device and the organic layer was overcome and the current flowed, the maximum value of the real number impedance sharply decreased. As time passed, current did not flow through the element even at high applied voltage due to degradation of the element, and even when the applied voltage was higher than the threshold voltage, it showed an impedance value such as applied voltage equal to or less than the threshold voltage. As a result, it can be learned that the change in the impedance with elapsed time reflects the characteristics due to the degradation of the OLED and can predict the characteristics and lifetime of the OLED.

One of the important causes of building and infrastructure failure, such as bridges on pile foundations, is the placement of the piles in liquefiable soil that can become unstable under seismic loads. Therefore, the overarching aim of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of a soil-pile system in liquefiable soil using three-dimensional numerical FEM analysis, including soil-pile interaction. Effective parameters on concrete pile response, involving the pile diameter, pile length, soil type, and base acceleration, were considered in the framework of finite element non-linear dynamic analysis. The constitutive model of soil was considered as elasto-plastic kinematic-isotropic hardening. First, the finite element model was verified by comparing the variations on the pile response with the measured data from the centrifuge tests, and there was a strong agreement between the numerical and experimental results. Totally 64 non-linear time-history analyses were conducted, and the responses were investigated in terms of the lateral displacement of the pile, the effect of the base acceleration in the pile behavior, the bending moment distribution in the pile body, and the pore pressure. The numerical analysis results demonstrated that the relationship between the pile lateral displacement and the maximum base acceleration is non-linear. Furthermore, increasing the pile diameter results in an increase in the passive pressure of the soil. Also, piles with small and big diameters are subjected to yielding under bending and shear states, respectively. It is concluded that an effective stress-based ground response analysis should be conducted when there is a liquefaction condition in order to determine the maximum bending moment and shear force generated within the pile.

본 연구에서는 최근 국내 도심지 대심도 지하교통터널 계획과 함께 중요성이 대두되고 있는 터널내 화재 안전 설계에 가장 기본적인 설계 요소인 자동차의 열방출률을 제시하고자 실물화재실험을 실시하였다. 산소소모율법을 적용한 라지스케일칼로리미터를 이용하여 승합차의 열방출률을 측정하였으며, 또한 두 대의 승용차를 인접시켜 터널 정체시 화재 전파 특성을 파악 하였다. 그 결과 승합차의 최대 열방출률은 5.9 MW를 나타내었으며, 일산화탄소는 최대 482 ppm이 방출되었다. 두 대의 승용차의 화재 전파 특성 실험의 경우 화재 발생 후 약 3분 30초 경과부터 인접 승용차에 화재 전파가 시작되어, 15분 경과 후에는 완전한 화재로 발달하였다. 최대 발열량은 9 MW를 나타내었다. 이러한 실물화재실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 수치해석시 중요한 입력 자료로 이용됨과 동시에 터널의 방재설비 설계에 유용하게 적용 될 수 있을 것이다.

In order to find out a physical quantity which controls the fatigue life of a structure and to predict the fatigue life of tires, a finite element simulation methodology to use the cracking energy density (CED) and the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) was proposed and applied to three different tires of a similar size. CED was calculated to predict the location of a crack initiation, and VCCT was used to obtain the strain energy release rate (SERR) at the tip of an initiated crack. Finite element simulations showed that SERR oscillated in the circumferential direction with its minimum occurring just before the contact zone and its maximum occurring just after the center of the contact zone, and SERR was affected significantly by the frictional force acting on the crack surface. In addition, a durability test was conducted to measure the fatigue life of the three tires. The comparison of SERR values with the test data revealed that the fatigue life increased as the amplitude of SERR decreased or as the R-ratio of SERR increased.

This paper describes the design processes and evaluation results of a small-sized six-axis force/torque sensor. The new six-axis force/torque sensor including S-type structure has been developed using a parallel plate structure as a basic sensing element. In order tominimize coupling errors, the location of strain gages has been determined based on the finite element analysis and the connections of strain gages have been made such that the bridge circuit with 4 strain gages becomes balanced. Several design modifications result in a similar strain sensitivity for six-axis forces and moments, and the reduced coupling errors of 2.6% FS between each forces and moments. Calibration test results show that the six-axis load cell developed which has light weight of 135g and the maximum capacities of 196 N in forces and 19.6 N.m in moments is estimated to be within 7.1% FS in coupling error.

Fretting fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the effect of contact pressure on fretting fatigue behavior in aluminum alloy A7075-T6. Test results showed that when the contact pressure is so low that gross or partial slip occurs at the pad/specimen interface, fretting fatigue damage increases with the contact pressure. However, when the contact pressure is high enough to prevent slip at the interface, fretting fatigue damage decreases with the contact pressure. In order to understand how the contact pressure influence the fretting fatigue damage, finite element analyses were conducted and the analysis results were used to evaluate critical plane fretting fatigue damage parameters and their components. It is revealed that fretting fatigue damage estimated with the parameters exhibits the same variation as that in the tests. Moreover, the variation of fretting fatigue damage is closely related with that of the maximum normal stress on the critical plane rather than the strain amplitude on the critical plane.

Ceramics are becoming one of the most important materials due to its good mechanical properties such as high strength, hardness, chemical safety, and high modulus of elasticity. Ceramics have been used widely as a material not only for construction, but also for vehicles, planes, and bones for the human body. Despite these advantages, ceramics have some limitations in actual use due to its brittle fracture characteristic. In order to develop ceramic belt in this study, the data regarding stiffness and strain is necessary. For this purpose, the sensitivities of maximum stress value and displacement are analyzed by applying the load change on ceramic belt with finite element method program.

This paper presents an evaluation of shear transfer across cracks in reinforced concrete through finite element modelling (FEM) and analytical predictions. The aggregate interlock is one of the mechanisms responsible for the shear transfer between two slip surfaces of a crack; the others are the dowel action, when the reinforcement contributes resisting a parcel of shear displacement (reinforcement), and the uncracked concrete comprised by the shear resistance until the development of the first crack. The aim of this study deals with the development of a 3D numerical model, which describes the behavior of Z-type push-off specimen, in order to determine the properties of interface subjected to direct shear in terms cohesion and friction angle. The numerical model was validated based on experimental data and a parametric study was performed with the variation of the concrete strength. The numerical results were compared with analytical predictions and a new equation was proposed to predict the maximum shear stress in cracked concrete.
