In this paper a damage imaging technique using pre-stack migration is developed using Lamb (guided) wave propagation in composite structures for imaging multi damages by both numerical simulations and experimental studies. In particular, the paper focuses on the experimental study using a finite number of sensors for future practical applications. A composite laminate with a surface-mounted linear piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) disk array is illustrated as an example. Two types of damages, one straight-crack damage and two simulated circular-shaped delamination damage, have been studied. First, Mindlin plate theory is used to model Lamb waves propagating in laminates. The group velocities of flexural waves in the composite laminate are also derived from dispersion relations and validated by experiments. Then the pre-stack migration technique is performed by using a two-dimensional explicit finite difference algorithm to back-propagate the scattered energy to the damages and damages are imaged together with the excitation-time imaging conditions. Stacking these images together deduces the resulting image of damages. Both simulations and experimental results show that the pre-stack migration method is a promising method for damage identification in composite structures.

본 연구에서는 판이론으로서는 해석할수 없는 집중충격하중의 작용점을 포함 한 유한판(정방형판)의 충격응력을 이론적으로 해석하는 방법을 제안하고저 하며 포성 재료로서 손쉽게 구할수 있고 파괴에 큰 에너지가 소요되지 않은 유리판을 대상으로 하여 3차원 동탄성이론을 이용하여 강구의 고속충돌에 의해서 유리판에 발생하는 충격 응력을 해석하였다. 또한 3차원 동탄성이론에서는 Laplace역변환이 곤난하므로, 고 속 Fourier변환의 알고리즘을 이용하였으며, 충격하중의 크기는 실측이 곤난하여 Lag- range의 고유판이론과 Hertz의 접촉이론으로부터 결정하였으며 단순지지된 정방형유리 판에 고속충격을 가하여 계측된 변형율변동과 본이론해석 결과와를 비교하여 응력해석 방법의 적용성을 명확히 하였다.

p-version 유한요소법을 사용한 바닥 슬래브의 탄성해석은 어떤 종류의 요형모서리, 개구 그리고 손상단면을 갖는 점에서 응력특이성을 수반하게 된다. Reissner-Mindlin의 평판이론에 근거한 C.deg.- 평판 계층요소를 사용한 결과가 이론치 및 참고문헌에 발표된 수치해석값과 비교되었다. h-, p-와 hp-version의 수렴속도는 전체적 차원에서의 자유도 증가에 따른 에너지 노름값을 사용하여 예측할 수 있다. 만약에 자유도의 항으로 나타내지는 정확도를 여러 해석방법을 비교하는 기준으로 삼으면 본 연구에서 새로 제안되는 p-version 유한요소해석법의 근사해는 종래의 h-version에 근거하여 현재 까지 발표된 어떤 것 보다 훨씬 효율적 접근방법이라 하겠다. 해석예로는 150.deg. 둔각을 갖는 마름모꼴평판과 손상단면을 갖는 정방형평판이 사용되었다.

The soil-structure interactions are caused by the point sources of explosions, deriving piles, compaction of foundations and excavations those are frequently arose in the construction sites. Thus the analysis of soil-structure interactions is one of the most important subjects in the fields of dynamic analysis and vibration control. From this viewpoint, the aim of this study is to collect the basic data for designing foundation structures throughout understanding the dynamic structural behavior, which is embodied by the dynamic analysis of soil-structure systems. In this study, the dynamic analyses of stiffened thick plates subjected to in-plane stress on elastic foundations are carried out. The foundation is modeled as Pasternak foundation that includes the continuity effect of foundations. Also both the Mindlin plate theory and Timoshenko beam-column theory are used for analyzing the thick plates and beams, respectively.

A simple and efficient vibration analysis procedure for stiffened panels with openings and arbitrary boundary conditions based on the assumed mode method is presented. Natural frequencies and modes are determined by solving an eigenvalue problem of a multi-degree-of-freedom system matrix equation derived by using Lagrange's equations of motion, where Mindlin theory is applied for plate and Timoshenko beam theory for stiffeners. The effect of stiffeners on vibration response is taken into account by adding their strain and kinetic energies to the corresponding plate energies whereas the strain and kinetic energies of openings are subtracted from the plate energies. Different stiffened panels with various opening shapes and dispositions for several combinations of boundary conditions are analyzed and the results show good agreement with those obtained by the finite element analysis. Hence, the proposed procedure is especially appropriate for use in the preliminary design stage of stiffened panels with openings.

In this paper, the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) (Mindlin) for continuum incorporating surface energy is exploited to study the static behavior of ultra-thin functionally graded (FG) plates. The size-dependent mechanical response is very important while the plate thickness reduces to micro/nano scales. Bulk stresses on the surfaces are required to satisfy the surface balance conditions involving surface stresses. Unlike the classical continuum plate models, the bulk transverse normal stress is preserved here. By incorporating the surface energies into the principle of minimum potential energy, a series of continuum governing differential equations which include intrinsic length scales are derived. The modifications over the classical continuum stiffness are also obtained. To illustrate the application of the theory, simply supported micro/nano scaled rectangular films subjected to a transverse mechanical load are investigated. Numerical examples are presented to present the effects of surface energies on the behavior of functionally graded (FG) film, whose effective elastic moduli of its bulk material are represented by the simple power law. The proposed model is then used for a comparison between the continuum analysis of FG ultra-thin plates with and without incorporating surface effects. Also, the transverse shear strain effect is studied by a comparison between the FG plate behavior based on Kirchhoff and Mindlin assumptions. In our analysis the residual surface tension under unstrained conditions and the surface Lame constants are expected to be the same for the upper and lower surfaces of the FG plate. The proposed model is verified by previous work.

According to the relative stiffness between the half-space and plate or loading condition, some parts of the plate can be separated from the half-space. The finite element procedure to determine the contact area by considering the distribution of contact pressure between plate and the elastic half-space is developed. The vertical surface displacements of the elastic half-space can be obtained through the integrations of the Boussinesq's solution for a point load. The rectangular plate on the elastic half-space is modeled by the 8-node rectangular and 6-node triangular elements and the Mindlin plate theory is used in oder to consider the transverse shear effect. In this study, the contact area may be determined approximately by the analysis with rectangular elements. From this results, the mesh pattern is modified by using triangular and rectangular elements. The contact area can be determined by the new mesh pattern with a relatively sufficient accuracy.

Closed form solutions for equilibrium and flexibility matrices of the Mindlin-Reissner theory based eight-node rectangular plate bending element (MRP8) using Integrated Force Method (IFM) are presented in this paper. Though these closed form solutions of equilibrium and flexibility matrices are applicable to plate bending problems with square/rectangular boundaries, they reduce the computational time significantly and give more exact solutions. Presented closed form solutions are validated by solving large number of standard square/rectangular plate bending benchmark problems for deflections and moments and the results are compared with those of similar displacement-based eight-node quadrilateral plate bending elements available in the literature. The results are also compared with the exact solutions.
