Parametric Design on Bellows of Piping System Using Fuzzy Knowledge Processing

This paper describes a novel automated analysis system for bellows of piping system. An automatic finite element (FE) mesh generation technique, which is based on the fuzzy theory and computational geometry technique, is incorporated into the system, together with one of commercial FE analysis codes and one of commercial solid modelers. In this system, a geometric model, i.e. an analysis model, is first defined using a commercial solid modelers for 3-D shell structures. Node is generated if its distance from existing node points is similar to the node spacing function at the point. The node spacing function is well controlled by the fuzzy knowledge processing. The Delaunay triangulation technique is introduced as a basic tool for element generation. The triangular elements are converted to quadrilateral elements. Practical performances of the present system are demonstrated through several analysis for bellows of piping system.

Deformation Analysis of Carrier Pipe for Cold Shrinkable Joint

Abstract This paper represents the results of study on Extra High Voltage Power Cable Connection System Development. The purpose is to evaluate structural safety by numerical analysis for the relaxation of electric field concentration and by structural analysis of Carrier Pipe for easy installation of High Insulating Rubber Sleeve in the field, which is core technique of connection system. According to the results, the thickness of Carrier Pipe needs at least 9mm by optimization analysis of deformation behavior and insulating design & relaxation of electric field concentration. The result of contraction behavior of the connection part can be demonstrated with the same result of electric field relaxation analysis at the boundary of the electrode inserted into the insulating rubber sleeve.Key Words : Cold Shrinkable Joint(CSJ), Carrier, Optimization, Pre-Molded Joint(PMJ), Voltage Power * 교신저자 : 이준성(jslee1@kyonggi.ac.kr)접수일 09년 09월 26일 수정일 09년 12월 21일 게재확정일 10년 01월 20일

Inelastic Constitutive Modeling for Viscoplastcity Using Neural Networks

Up to now, a number of models have been proposed and discussed to describe a wide range of inelastic behaviors of materials. The fatal problem of using such models is however the existence of model errors, and the problem remains inevitably as far as a material model is written explicitly. In this paper, the authors define the implicit constitutive model and propose an implicit viscoplastic constitutive model using neural networks. In their modeling, inelastic material behaviors are generalized in a state space representation and the state space form is constructed by a neural network using input-output data sets. A technique to extract the input-output data from experimental data is also described. The proposed model was first generated from pseudo-experimental data created by one of the widely used constitutive models and was found to replace the model well. Then, having been tested with the actual experimental data, the proposed model resulted in a negligible amount of model errors indicating its superiority to all the existing explicit models in accuracy.

Conductivity·Filling Rate Analysis for Die-Casting Centrifugal Casting Machine

Abstract In this paper, the optimum RPM was suggested comparing rotor filling rate of RPM through the analysisof rotors filling rate as studying and developing centrifugal-casting machines method for high precision rotor in orderto increase the related types of businesss productivity. The result was similar to other result in industrial site, showing 99.47% of filling rate when rotational speeds are 600 rpm, so it is considered that if this result is conducted withadditional research, it will be possible to plan a better process design. Besides, the optimum temperature of compact ladle was examined to produce high quality casting product through the analysis of compact ladles conductivity. In the case of the heating devices absence using nicrome wire, Al solution solidifies falling drastically into 427 ℃ . However, it is feasible to work over 660 ℃ which is the meltingtemperature of aluminium solution when the heating device of nicrome wire is included. It reveals that there is littletemperature change.

Stress Intensity Factor Analysis System for 3D Cracks Using Fuzzy Mesh

Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic stress intensity factor analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated and quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. Finally, the complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.

Analysis of Three-Dimensional Cracks in Inhomogeneous Materials Using Fuzzy Theory

This paper describes a fuzzy-based system for analyzing the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of three-dimensional (3D) cracks. 3D finite element method(FEM) was used to obtain the SIF for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy theory. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The singular elements such that the mid-point nodes near crack front are shifted at the quarter-points, and these are automatically placed along the 3D crack front. The complete FE model is generated, and a stress analysis is performed. The SIFs are calculated using the displacement extrapolation method. The results were compared with those surface cracks in homogeneous materials. Also, this system is applied to analyze cladding effect of surface cracks in inhomogeneous materials.
