An automatic quadrilateral mesh generator for large deformation finite element analysis such as metal forming simulation was developed. The NURBS interpolation method is used for modeling arbitrary 2-D free surface. This mesh generation technique is the modified paving algorithm, which is an advancing front technique with element-by-element resolving method for paving boundary intersection problem. The mesh density for higher analysis accuracy and less analysis time can be easily controlled with high-density points, maximum and minimum element size. A couple of application to large deformation finite element analysis is given as an example, which shows versatility and applicability of the proposed approach and the developed mesh generator for large deformation finite element analysis.

본 접이식 태양광 발전 시스템은 독립형 시스템의 하나로, 태양광 패널이 부착되어 있는 구조물이다. 이를 지지하는 부분과 이동의 용이함을 위해 접히는 부분으로 구성되어 있다. 태양광 패널의 발전효율을 최대화 하여 전기를 생산하기 위해서는 태양광 패널의 효율도 중요하지만 가장 중요한 것은 구조물 안정성이다. 본 연구에서 개발하고자 하는 접이식 태양광 발전 구조물은 격오지에서도 독립으로 전기를 생산할 수 있는 시스템으로 이동과 설치가 용이한 접이식 방식의 구조물이다. 이러한 구조물은 야외에 설치되므로 풍하중, 적설하중 등이 작용한다. 본 논문에서는 접이식 태양광 발전 구조물에 가장 영향이 큰 풍하중을 MeshFree 유한요소법을 사용하여 구하였다. 일반적으로 구조물의 형상은 복잡하고 큰 설계안 때문에 Mesh를 수행할 때 시간이 오래 걸린다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 기존 Mesh의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 최근 MeshFree가 개발되어 사용되고 있다. MeshFree는 기존 해석 시 요구되는 Mesh 작업을 간소화함으로써, 사용자가 보다 쉽게 해석 할 수 있는 프로그램이다. 또한, 사계절 남중고도에 따라 일반적으로 많이 설치되는 각도인 $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$의 각도로 설계하여 해석하였다. 해석결과 풍하중은 지면과의 경사각이 클수록 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 풍하중실험을 통해 신뢰성을 확보하였다.

In this study, we conducted resistance and propulsion performance test of ship composed of the Resistance Test, Propeller Open Water Test and Self Propulsion Test using the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). We used commercial RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equation) solver, as a calculating tool. The unstructured grids were used in a bow and stern of ship, having complex shape, for a convenience of generating grids, and the structured grids were adopted in a central hull and rest of hull having a relatively simple shape which is called hybrid grid method. In addition, The sliding mesh method was adopted to rotate a propeller directly in the Propeller Open Water and Self Propulsion Test. The Resistance Test and Self Propulsion Test were calculated using Volume of Fluid (VOF) model and considering a free surface. And all The three cases were applied realizable k-epsilon model as the turbulence model. The results of calculations were verified for the suitability of calculations by comparing MOERI's EFD results.

본 연구에서는 프리폼(free form)을 가지는 공간구조물의 유한요소망을 자동으로 생성하는 기법을 개발하고 그 배경이론과 수치실험 결과 그리고 이용방안에 대하여 기술하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제시한 유한요소망 생성기법은 공간구조물의 해석을 위해 전통적으로 이용하던 형태별 자동생성기법의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 개발 되었다. 개발된 자동 생성기법은 최근 연속체 쉘 구조물의 형태를 정확히 구현하기 위해 활발히 이용되고 있는 CAGD기법을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 자동생성기법은 두 단계의 생성과정을 거치는데 첫 번째가 구조물의 형태를 기하학적인 모델로 표현하는 단계이며 두 번째가 표현된 기하학적인 모델에 이산화된 공간구조물을 생성하는 단계이다. 수치실험을 통하여 본 연구에서 개발된 자동생성기법이 임의의 형상을 가지는 이산화된 공간구조물을 표현하기 용이할 뿐만이 아니라 기존의 자동생성기법을 수정 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있으며 특히 이산화된 공간구조물의 형상최적화에도 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 나타났다.

In the present study, a least square/level set based two-phase flow code has been developed using finite element discretization, which can be utilized for the analysis of a free surface flow problem in a complex geometry. Since the finite element method is employed for the spatial discretization of governing equations, an unstructured mesh can be naturally adopted for the level set simulation of a bubble-in-liquid flow without an additional load for the code development except that solution methods of the hyperbolic type redistancing and advection equations of the level set function should be devised in order to give a bounded solution on the unstructured mesh. For the discretization of hyperbolic type redistancing and advection equations, least square method is adopted. From the numerical experiments of the present study, it is shown that the proposed method is both robust and accurate.

The recently developed Harmonic Polynomial Cell (HPC) method has been proved to be a promising choice for solving potential-flow Boundary Value Problem (BVP). In this paper, a flux method is proposed to consistently deal with the Neumann boundary condition of the original HPC method and enhance the accuracy. Moreover, fixed mesh algorithm with free surface immersed is developed to improve the computational efficiency. Finally, a two dimensional (2D) multi-block strategy coupling boundary-fitted mesh and fixed mesh is proposed. It limits the computational costs and preserves the accuracy. A fully nonlinear 2D numerical wave tank is developed using the improved HPC method as a verification.

Knowledge of the complex biomechanical behavior of the human mandible is of great importance in various clinical situations. Various approaches can be used to evaluate the physical behavior of bone. In this study, we developed the voxel mesh program(Bionix) and generated FE models of mandible using Bionix and using handmade work and compared them with free vibration results derived from finite element analysis(FEA). The data of FE models based on DICOM File exported from Computed tomography(CT). Comparing the two models, we found a good correlation about mode type and natural frequency. The voxel based finite element mesh is a valid and accurate method to predict parameters of the complex biomechanical behavior of human mandibles.

This paper is concerned with the propram of the automatic mesh generation for 2-dimensional domain which contains the curved boundaries and holes. This program treats a new vertical-line drawing method. This method starts with 4-subdivisions of problem domain and the classification of the cross points of grid lines and boundaries. The new node is generated by the vertical line to the line connecting the two intersections of a boundary and two grid lines in gereral. And the node very close to the boundary is moved to the boundary. The automatic mesh generation composed of only rectangular elements is achieved by this procedure. The boundaries are piecewise-curves composed of lines, circles, arcs, and free curves. The free curves are generated by B-Spline form. Although there were some bad elements for the complex boundary, it was possible to obtain the acceptible rectangular elements for the given boundaries.

This paper is concerned with the program of the automatic mesh generation for 2-dimensional domain which contains the curved boundaries and holes. This program treats a new vertical - line drawing method. This method starts with 4-subdivisions of problem domain and the classification of the cross points of grid lines and boundaries. And the new node is generated by the vertical line to the line connecting the two intersections of a boundary and two grid lines in general. The boundaries are piecewise-curves composed of lines, circles, arcs, and free curves. The free curves are generated by B-Spline form. Although there were some bad elements for the complex boundary, it was possible to obtain the acceptable elements for the given boundaries. The results of automatic mesh generation can be verified directly by drawing on the computer monitor in executing the program. And it is possible to add the processes - that is, editing, hard copying, etc - using the script file in Auto-CAD.

This paper newly proposes a mesh regularization method for the enhancement of the efficiency in sheet metal forming analysis. The regularization method searches for distorted elements with appropriate searching criteria and constructs patches including the elements to be modified. Each patch is then extended to a three-dimensional surface in order to obtain the information of the continuous coordinates. In constructing the surface enclosing each patch, NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface is employed to describe a three-dimensional free surface. On the basis of the constructed surface, each node is properly arranged to form unit elements as close as to a square. The analysis results with the proposed method are compared to the results from the direct forming analysis without mesh regularization in order to confirm the validity of the method.
