This paper deals with a hex-dominant mesh generation using an advancing front method for three-dimensional geometries. Hexahedral and prismatic meshes are generated inwardly by offsetting from initial boundary mesh. When the meshes intersect with each other after offsetting, overlapped meshes are improved by node relocation method. In order to generate conforming mesh, pyramid elements are inserted between hexahedral and tetrahedral elements. Sample meshes fur several geometries are presented and analized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A new moving-mesh Finite Volume Method (FVM) for the efficient solution of the two-dimensional neutron diffusion equation is introduced. Many other moving-mesh methods developed to solve the neutron diffusion problems use a relatively large number of sophisticated mathematical equations, and so suffer from a significant complexity of mathematical calculations. In this study, the proposed method is formulated based on simple mathematical algebraic equations that enable an efficient mesh movement and CV deformation for using in practical nuclear reactor applications. Accordingly, a computational framework relying on a new moving-mesh FVM is introduced to efficiently distribute the meshes and deform the CVs in regions with high gradient variations of reactor power. These regions of interest are very important in the neutronic assessment of the nuclear reactors and accordingly, a higher accuracy of the power densities is required to be obtained. The accuracy, execution time and finally visual comparison of the proposed method comprehensively investigated and discussed for three different benchmark problems. The results all indicated a higher accuracy of the proposed method in comparison with the conventional fixed-mesh FVM.

The iterative procedure to use the nonconforming elements in elasto-plastic problems is established and applied to the variable node transition solid element developed for the automated three-dimensional local mesh refinement. Through numerical tests, the validity and performance of the element are examined. As the nonlinear iterative procedure presented in this paper is accomplished for the general three-dimensional case, it can also be easily applied to the two-dimensional elements such as membranes, plates and shells.

An algorithm for the automatic generation of quadrilateral shell elements on three-dimensional sculptured surfaces has been developed, which is one of the key issues in the finite element analysis of structures with complex shapes such as automobile structures. Mesh generation on sculptured surfaces is performed in three steps. First a sculptured surface is transformed to a projection plane, on which the loops are subdivided into subloops by using the best split lines, and with the use of 6-node/8-node loop operators and a layer operator, quadrilateral finite elements are constructed on this plane. Finally, the constructed mesh is transformed back to the original sculptured surfaces. The proposed mesh generation scheme is suited for the generation of non-uniform meshes so that it can be effectively used when the desired mesh density is available. Sample meshes are presented to demonstrate the versatility of the algorithm.

Objectives: The purpose of this preliminary study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a customized, three-dimensional, preformed titanium mesh as a barrier membrane for peri-implant alveolar bone regeneration. Materials and Methods: Ten patients were recruited for this study. At the time of implant placement, all patients had fenestration or a dehiscence defect around the implant fixture. A mixture of particulate intraoral autologous bone and freeze-dried bone allograft was applied to the defect in a 1 : 1 volume ratio and covered by the preformed titanium mesh. A core biopsy specimen was taken from the regenerated bone four months postoperatively. Patients were followed for 12 months after the definitive prosthesis was placed. Results: Satisfactory bone regeneration with limited fibrous tissue was detected beneath the preformed titanium mesh. Histologic findings revealed that newly formed bones were well-incorporated into the allografts and connective tissue. New growth was composed of approximately 80% vital bone, 5% fibrous marrow tissue, and 15% remaining allograft. All implants were functional without any significant complications. Conclusion: The use of preformed titanium mesh may support bone regeneration by maintaining space for new bone growth through its macro-pores. This preliminary study presents the efficacy of a preformed titanium mesh as a ready-to-use barrier membrane around peri-implant alveolar bone defect. This preformed mesh is also convenient to apply and to remove.

SGBEM-FEM 교호법은 유한 물체 내에 존재하는 삼차원 균열을 해석하는 유용한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 이 방법으로 일반적인 평면 혹은 비평면 삼차원 균열에 대한 정확한 응력강도계수를 구할 수 있다. 기존의 방법에서는 균열을 모델화 하는데 8 절점 사각형 경계요소를 사용한다. 그러나 임의 형상의 균열의 경우는 3 절점 삼각형 요소를 사용하여 균열을 모델화 하는 것이 더 편리하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3 절점 삼각형 요소와 7 절점 사각형 요소를 사용하여 전진 프런트 법으로 균열을 모델링 하였다. 사용된 균열 모델의 정확성을 검토하기 위하여 몇 가지 형상의 균열에 대하여 응력강도계수를 구하여 기존의 해와 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 가상 공간에서 객체와의 상호 작용을 위한 빠른 충돌 감지 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저 메쉬 그룹화 단계에서는, 전체 공간을 일정한 크기의 소공간들로 분할하고, 각각의 소공간에 속하는 메쉬들에 대하여 이들을 모두 포함하는 최소의 기본 입체도형(육면체 혹은 구)의 위치와 크기를 정함으로써 그룹화한다. 충돌 검출 단계에서는, HIP(Haptic Interface Point)가 어떤 그룹을 대표하는 입체도형 내부에 들어 있는지를 검사하여 특정 입체도형과의 충돌이 확인되면 해당 그룹의 메쉬들만을 대상으로 실제 충돌이 일어난 메쉬를 찾는다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 적용한 경우와 적용하지 않은 경우의 연산시간을 측정 및 비교함으로써 제안한 알고리즘의 효용성을 확인하였다.

Most of agricultural structures located in seashore could not avoid rapid deterioration of concrete because chloride-ion and $CO_2$ gradually penetrate into concrete. However, since most of models can be able to describe the phenomenon of penetration by using one or two dimensional models based on finite difference method (FDM), those modes can not simulate the real geometry and it takes a lot of computational time to complete even the calculation. To overcome those weaknesses, three dimensional numerical model considering time dependent variables such as surface concentration of chloride and diffusion coefficient of domain based on finite element method (FEM) was suggested. This model also included the neutralization occurred by the penetration of $CO_2$. Because the model used various sizes of tetrahedral mesh instead of equivalent rectangular mesh, it reduced the computational time to compare with FDM. As this model is based on FEM, it will be easily extended to execute multi-physics simulation including water evaporation and temperature change of concrete.

본 논문에서는 유전체층을 가진 3차원 도체의 정전용량 계산을 위한 적응요소 MLFMA을 제안하였다. 고속화 알고리즘인 MLFMA와 더불어 높은 전하밀도를 가지는 영역에서 삼자요소를 세분화함으로써 효율적으로 요소를 분할하게 된다. 제안된 기법은 유전체 층위의 3차원 도체의 정전용량을 계산하는데 적용되어 균일한 요소에 의한 계산결과의 수렴보다 빠른 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 3차원의 복잡한 구조를 가진 문제의 해석에 있어서도 과도한 추가계산시간을 요구하지 않으므로, 제안된 방법을 MLFMA의 장점에 부합되는 적절한 기법이라 할 수 있다.
