  • This study suggests a simple, convenient and non-destructive method for investigation of the Young's modulus detection in stepped shafts which only utilizes the first-order resonant frequency in flexural mode and dimensions of structures. The method is based on the impulse excitation technique (IET) to pick up the fundamental resonant frequencies. The standard Young's modulus detection formulas for rectangular and circular cross-sections are well investigated in literatures. However, the Young's modulus of stepped shafts can not be directly detected using the formula for a beam with rectangular or circular cross-section. A response surface method (RSM) is introduced to design numerical simulation experiments to build up experimental formula to detect Young's modulus of stepped shafts. The numerical simulation performed by finite element method (FEM) to obtain enough simulation data for RSM analysis. After analysis and calculation, the relationship of flexural resonant frequencies, dimensions of stepped shafts and Young's modulus is obtained. Numerical simulations and experimental investigations show that the IET method can be used to investigate Young's modulus in stepped shafts, and the FEM simulation and RSM based IET formula proposed in this paper is applicable to calculate the Young's modulus in stepped shaft. The method can be further developed to detect mechanical parameters of more complicated structures using the combination of FEM simulation and RSM.

  • This paper presents the optimum load-speed diagram evaluation for a linear micromotor, including multitude cantilever piezoelectric bimorphs, briefly. Each microbeam in the mechanism can be actuated in both axial and flexural modes simultaneously. For this design, we consider quasi-static and linear conditions, and a relatively new numerical method called the smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) is introduced here. For this purpose, after finding an optimum volume fraction for piezoelectric layers through a standard numerical method such as quadratic finite element method, the relevant load-speed curves of the optimized micromotor are examined and compared by deterministic topology optimization (DTO) design. In this regard, to avoid the overly stiff behavior in FEM modeling, a numerical method known as the cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM, as a branch of S-FEM) is applied for our DTO problem. The topology optimization procedure to find the optimal design is implemented using a solid isotropic material with a penalization (SIMP) approximation and a method of moving asymptotes (MMA) optimizer. Because of the higher efficiency and accuracy of S-FEMs with respect to standard FEMs, the main micromotor characteristics of our final DTO design using a softer CS-FEM are substantially improved.

  • Tonpilz 트랜스듀서를 이용한 미세먼지의 포집 거동을 살펴보기 위하여 유한요소법(FEM) 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 미세먼지의 응집 거동을 모사하였다. 원판형 head mass의 두께와 tail mass의 직경, 그리고 고정 볼트의 깊이를 트랜스듀서의 형상 변수로 고려하였다. 도넛형 압전체의 소재로는 기존의 PZT-4 소재와 서로 다른 특성의 두 가지 압전 단결정에 대하여 그 출력에 미치는 형상 변수의 최적화를 구현하였고 이를 통하여 얻은 트랜스듀서를 이용하였을 때 나타나는 미세먼지의 응집 거동을 다중 물리해석 S/W인 COMSOL을 이용하여 모사하였다.

  • The present study was an attempt for systematic data conversion between FDM and FEM in order to evaluate the thermal stress distribution during quenching process. It has been generally recognized that FDM is efficient in flow and temperature analysis and FEM in that of stress. But it induced difficulty and tedious work in analysis that one uses both FDM and FEM to take their advantages because of the discrepancy of nodes between analysis tools. So we proposed field data conversion procedure from FDM to FEM in 3-dimensional space, then applied this procedure to analysis of quenching process. The simulation procedure calculates the distributions of temperature and microstructure using FDM and microstructure evolution equations of diffusion and diffusionless transformation. FEM was used for predicting the distributions of thermal stress. The present numerical code includes coupled temperaturephase transformation kinetics and temperature-microstructure dependent material properties. Calculated results were compared with previous experimental data to verify the method, which showed good agreements.

  • The aim of this work is a numerical comparison (FEM) between lattice pyramidal-core panel and honeycomb core panel for different core thicknesses. By evaluating the mid-span deflection, the shear rigidity and the shear modulus for both core types and different core thicknesses, it is possible to define which core type has got the best mechanical behaviour for each thickness and the evolution of that behaviour as far as the thickness increases. Since a specific base geometry has been used for the lattice pyramidal core, the comparison gives us the opportunity to investigate the unit cell strut angle giving the higher mechanical properties. The presented work considers a detailed FEM modelling of a standard 3-point bending test (ASTM C393/C393M Standard Practice). Detailed FEM modelling addresses to detailed discretization of cores by means of beam elements for lattice core and shell elements for honeycomb core. Facings, instead, have been modelled by using shell elements for both sandwich panels. On lattice core structure, elements of core and facings are directly connected, to better simulate the additive manufacturing process. Otherwise, an MPC-based constraint between facings and core has been used for honeycomb core structure. Both sandwich panels are entirely built of Aluminium alloy. Prior to compare the two models, the FEM sandwich panel model with lattice pyramidal core needs to be validated with 3-point bending test experimental results, in order to ensure a good reliability of the FEM approach and of the comparison. Furthermore, the analytical validation has been performed according to Allen's theory. The FEM analysis is linear static with an increasing midspan load ranging from 50N up to 500N.

  • 본 논문에서는 유한 요소법(FEM) 시뮬레이션을 사용하여 초음파 미세패턴 성형에 사용되는 초음파 공구혼을 이론적 연구와 유한요소해석을 통하여 조사 하였다. 이 방법은 FEM 해석으로 얻어진 초기 설계 추정치에 기초한다. 초음파 미세패턴 성형에 필요한 고유주파수와 공구 혼의 공진주파수를 유한요소해석을 통하여 예측하였다. ANSYS S/W를 이용한 FEM 분석은 초음파 혼의 진동모드 형상의 최적 설계기술로 공진 주파수를 예측하기 위해 사용하였다. 초음파 진동자에 전원이 공급되면, 초음파 진동자에 공급된 전기에너지가 기계적인 운동에너지로 변환되어 진동이 발생하게 된다. 초음파 공구혼의 종진동 에너지를 이용하여 절연시트위에 RFID TAG 패턴 성형을 하게 된다. 초음파 진동을 이용한 마이크로 단위의 형상정밀도 향상을 위해서는 공구혼의 종진동모드만을 이용하여 성형 해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 마이크로패턴 성형에 필요한 공구혼의 고유진동수 및 진동모드를 갖는 설계변수를 고찰하고, 유한요소해석 결과를 바탕으로 공구혼을 제작함으로써 마이크로패턴 성형에 응용하고자 한다. 유한요소해석 결과를 바탕으로 RFID TAG의 미세패턴 성형을 위한 초음파 공구혼의 최적설계 및 제작에 반영하였다.
