A systematic method of design modification to reduce the influence of impact from multiple clearances in a planar four bar mechanism is developed. For this purpose, an optimization method is used with the objective function which is the linear sum of the Earles and Wu criteria for every joints with clearances. One coil spring is attached to a joint of limited range of revolution to reduce the undesirable dynamic effects due to clearances at joints. The stiffness of the coil spring and its pre-loading angle are chosen as design variables. A numerical example is taken for a four bar mechanism. The initial and modified mechanisms are compared using a clearance mechanism analysis technic to see the difference in dynamic effects due to contact loss. It is found that the modified mechanism produces much more smooth joint contact forces than the original design.

We performed three-dimensional CFD analysis to investigate the effect of the nozzle-rotor axial gap of a partial admission supersonic turbine on the stage performance and the flow field. The computations are conducted for five axial gaps using flow analysis program, $FLUENT^{TM}$. The results show that the axial gap between nozzle and rotor give the effect on the mass flow rates of tip leakage and the flow angle at the rotor outlet.

This study reports the influence of vocid geometry on fracture closure and permeability from numerical experiments. As the aperture distributions of rock fractures are characterized by statistical methods, synthetic fractures have successfully been simulated in this way. Based on the generated fracture models, models for fracture closure and flow calculation have been developed. A fracture closure model has been developed by considering the asperity compression and half-space deformation, and flow calculations have been performed using a finite difference method adopting a local cubic law. The results of numerical experiments have shown that the increase in the aperture spatial correlation leads the fracture closure and the decrease in fracture permeability to increase. Also, it has been indicated that there is an implicit relation between fracture normal stiffness and permeability. The importance of this study is to enhance the understanding the hydro-mechanical behavior of fractured rock massed due to engineering projects.

관입체 주변에서 발생하는 지반의 과잉간극수압은 그 측정위치에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 관입체의 선단과 축표면에서의 간극수압반응은 상당히 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반에 대한 관입시험시 주변지반에서 발생하는 간극수압의 반응에 대하여 Louisiana State University의 시험토조를 사용하여 조사하였다. 또한 시험결과를 비등방성 수정 Cam Clay 모델을 이용한 유한요소해석과 비교하였다. 본 연구로부터 관입체 주위에서 발생하는 간극수압은 예측한 바와 같이 선단부위에서 크게 나타나고, 뒤로 갈수록 작아지는 현상을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 현상은 전단에 의하여 발생한 간극수압과 압축에 의하여 발생한 간극수압의 상호간섭에 의한 것으로 나타났다.

A computer program code was developed to estimate hydraulic behavior of the 2-D connected pipe network system, and implemented to evaluate the effect of joint aperture on hydraulic parameters of fractured rock masses through numerical experiments. A total of 216 stochastic 2-D DFN(discrete fracture network) blocks of $20m{\times}20m$ were prepared using two joint sets with fixed input parameters of joint orientation, frequency and size distribution. Two different cases of joint aperture variation are considered in this study. The hydraulic parameters were estimated for generated 2-D DFN blocks. The hydraulic anisotropy and the chance for equivalent continuum behavior of the DFN system were found to depend on the variability of joint aperture.

There is a gap between the inner wall of a pulse tube and an underwater acoustic material when the measurement for transmission loss by the pulse tube is carried out. In this paper, the effect, which is caused by the gap, for the measurement of transmission loss is analyzed. Transmission coefficient is derived from the ratio of the pressures between front and rear of the gap. Then, transmission loss for specimen with a gap is obtained by combining the transmission coefficients of the gap and specimen. The results of experiment and simulation for a specimen of stainless steel with 10 mm thickness are compared in order to evaluate the simulation model. Finally, simulations with respect to the gap size and transmission loss of a specimen are performed to analyze and evaluate the effect of the gap in measurement of transmission loss.

액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압 소산 특성을 파악하기 위하여 포화된 수평 모래지반에 대하여 1-g 진동대시험을 수행하였다. 진동대시험에는 주문진 표준사와 영종도 세사를 사용하였으며 상대밀도를 dir 20~30% 사이가 되도록 조성하였다. 간극수압계, 가속도계 그리고 LVDT 등으로 시험중의 지반거동을 계측하였으며, 4Hz의 sine 파를 0.15g에서 5초간 5회 반복하여 작용시켰다. 진동대시험을 분석한 결과 액상화 발생후 과잉간극수압의 소산속도는 그 지반의 투수성뿐 아니라 과잉간극수압 소산시 입자의 침강거리와 직접 관련이 있는 지반의 침하량에도 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 과정을 침강모래 이론으로 모델링하였을 때 입자의 침강속도와 투수계수 사이의 비례 관계는 침강모래 이론에서의 가정한 것과는 달리 모래의 종류에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 Terzaghi의 압밀이론으로는 액상화 후 과잉간극수압의 소산과정을 적절히 모사할 수 없었다.

소방보호복은 고열유속에 의한 화상방지를 위해 3층 이상의 복합소재로 구성되어 있으며, 각 소재 사이는 공기 간극이 존재한다. 화재에 의한 고열유속 노출 시 공기 간극 내에서의 열전달은 대류와 복사에 의해 주로 발생하며, 그로 인해 간극의 크기에 따라서 비선형 특징의 열 저항 크기를 갖게 된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 보호복 소재 사이의 여러 가지 공기 간극에 대한 보호복의 열 보호성능을 자세히 파악하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다.

Tip clearance is a critical point in turbine to reduce friction between blade and casing. To estimate the direct effectiveness of the tip clearance, numerically analyzed are flow passing through rotors with and without tip clearance. The Results by CFX tells that rotors with tip clearance have vortex structure which makes larger loss in turbine, and shows lower total-to-total efficiency than that without tip clearance.

It is well-known that when single rock fractures undergo shear displacement, they are influenced by the boundary conditions and fracture roughness. In this case, aperture geometry will change by means of dilation due to the shear displacement. As fractures become the flow paths, fluid flow through rock fractures is affected by the void geometry. In this study, therefore, the influence of roughness on shear behavior of fractures has been investigated, and the resulting hydraulic behavior has been analyzed. In order for this study, a statistical method has been used to generate rough fractures, and they have been adopted into new conceptual models fur fracture shearing and flow calculations. The main contributions of this study are as follows: firstly, fracture shear behavior becomes less brittle with decreasing fracture roughness and increasing normal stress. Then, the characteristics of aperture distribution becomes those of roughness of fractures indicating its hydraulic significance. Finally, it is observed that with decreasing fracture roughness the breakdown of channel flow occurs more slowly.
