Abstract

최근에 요소망의 재구성이 불필요하고 균열의 가시화에 강점을 가지는 확장유한요소법(XFEM)을 이용한 균열 해석이 많이 연구되고 있지만 주로 단일재료로 이루어진 부재의 해석에 집중되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 복합재료 부재인 철근콘크리트 보의 다중균열 해석에 확장유한요소법을 적용하며 그 적용성과 타당성을 살펴보았다. 확장유한요소해석 기능이 탑재된 상용해석프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 균열해석을 수행하였으며 그 결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 확장유한요소법에서 인접요소에 동시에 균열이 발생할 경우 균열의 불연속성이 나타나지 않은 부가자유도 잠김 현상을 발견하였고 이에 대한 원인과 그 해결방안을 제시하였다. 또한 실험결과와 유사한 다중균열 발생을 위한 모델링 기법도 제시하였다. 확장유한요소법을 이용한 해석결과는 실험결과와 유사한 균열 양상 및 균열 간격을 보여 주었으며 하중-변위 관계에 있어서도 실험에 근접한 결과를 보여 주었다.

Recently, extensive research on crack analysis using extended finite element method(XFEM) which has main advantages in element re-meshing and visualization of cracks has been conducted. However, its application was restricted to the members of a single material. In this study, the applicability and feasibility of the XFEM to the multiple crack analysis of reinforced concrete beams were demonstrated. ABAQUS which has implemented XFEM was used for the crack analysis and its results were compared with test results. Enriched degree-of-freedom locking phenomenon was discovered and its causes and the ways to prevent it were suggested. The locking occurs when cracks in the adjacent elements simultaneously develop. A modelling technique for multiple cracking similar to test results was also proposed. The analysis with XFEM showed similar results to the tests in terms of crack patterns, spacing of cracks, and load-deflection relationship.
