The violent free-surface motions and the corresponding impact loads are numerically simulated by using the Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method, which was originally proposed by Koshizuka and Oka (1996) for incompressible flows. In the original MPS method, there were several shortcoming including non-optimal source term, gradient and collision models, and search of free-surface particles, which led to less-accurate fluid motions and non-physical pressure fluctuations. In the present study, how those defects can be remedied is illustrated by step-by-step improvements in respective processes of the revised MPS method. The improvement of each step is explained and numerically demonstrated. The numerical results are also compared with the experimental results of Martin and Moyce (1952) for dam-breaking problem. The current numerical results for violent free-surface motions and impact pressures are in good agreement with their experimental data.

This study was carried out to determine the possibility of making fiberboard through the dry forming process, utilizing the tannin-like material of the Asplund pulp from the silk worm oak as a binder. The fiberboard was made through paraformaldehyde treatment, spray of NaOH solution and adjustment of mat moisture content, by hot-pressing at $220^{\circ}C$, and 50-6-50kg/$cm^2$ pressure with 6-min. (0.6-1.8-3.6) three-stage pressing cycle. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The modulus of rupture value of fiberboard treated with NaOH solution was greater than that of untreated. The value was increased in proportion to the paraformaldehyde content from I to 5%, but there was no increasing between 5 and 7% paraformaldehyde content. The value became higher along with the increase of mat moisture content from 15% to 25%. 2. The water adsorption of fiberboard treated with NaOH solution was lower than that of untreated. The value was de"creased in proportion to the paraformaldehyde content from 1 to 5%, but there was no decreasing between 5 and 7% paraformaldehyde content.. 3. A good quality fiberboard (modulus of rupture value of about 250kg/$cm^2$) was made through 5% paraformaidehyde treatment and 3% treatment of 10% NaOH solution, when the mat moisture content was 25%. was 25%.

Distributed arrival time control (DATC) is a distributed feedback control algorithm for real-time scheduling problems in dynamic operational environment. Even though DATC has provided excellent performance for dynamic scheduling problems, it can be improved by considering the following considerations. First, the original DATC heavily depends on the quality of initial solution. In this paper, well-known dispatching rules are incorporated DATC algorithm to enhance its performance. Second, DATC improves its solution with adjusting virtual arrival times of jobs to be scheduled in proportion to the gap between completion time and due date iteratively. Since this approach assigns the same weight to all gaps generated with iterations, it fails to utilize significantly more the latest information (gap) than the previous ones. To overcome this issue we consider exponential smoothing which enable to assign different weight to different gaps. Using these two consideration This paper proposes A-DATC (Advanced-DATC). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheduling algorithm through computational results.

In apartment buildings, floor-impact sound has been regarded as the major source that causes complaints from residents. It is mainly due to the use of light-weight structures and the lack of researches in terms of floor-impact sound. The purposes of this study are analyzing the characteristics of vibration response and sound radiation of 12type void slabs in the improvements void slab by impedance method and finding the fittest improvements void slab on the 12type void slab. The main results of this study are summarized as below: (1) In the $\frac{1}{3}$ octave band level of sound radiation, $\frac{1}{3}$ octave band levels, measured from four-divided improvement void slab(No.8) and eight-divided improvement void slab(No.12), are 10~25 dB lower than that of standard void slab(No.1) in the 1250 Hz. Especially, eight-divided improvement void slab(No.12) is the best void slab in terms of radiation efficiency of sound level. (2) In the correlation relation of acceleration and sound radiation, standard void slab(No.1), four-divided improvement void slab(No.8), SK standard four-hole void slab(No.10), and eight-divided improvement void slab(No.12) are positive correlation relation.

High temperature fatigue crack growth behavior of P92 and STS 316L steel were investigated under four load conditions using CT type specimens. Loading and unloading times for the low wave forms were combinations of 1 sec. and 50 sec., which were two symmetric wave forms and two unsymmetric wave forms. Their behaviors are characterized using ΔK parameter. In STS 316L, Crack growth rate generally increases as frequency decreases. However, sensitivity of the loading rate to crack growth rate was fecund to be far greater than that of the unloading time. It is because as loading time increases, creep occurs at crack tip causing the crack growth rate to increase. However creep does not occur at the crack tip even if the unloading time is increased. In P92 steel, crack growth rate showed same behavior as in STS 316L. But the increase in loading or unloading time made almost no difference in crack growth rate, suggesting that no significant creep occurs in P92 steel even though loading time increases. After conducting high temperature tensile tests and comparing high temperature fatigue crack growth rates under various wave forms, it was proved that P92 steel has not only good high temperature properties but also improved, better high temperature fatigue properties than STS 316L.

A computer program which consists of pre-processor, main solidification simulator and post-processor has been developed for three dimensional solidification analysis of steel castings. The pre-processor is used for mesh generation in a small personal computing system. The modified finite difference method is adopted for the main solidification simulation algorithm. The post -processor graphically presents the simulation results and shows the formation of shrinkage defects. Several experiments on large steel castings in sand mold were carried out. The temperature variations in casting and mold with time are measured experimentally, and the results are compared with calculation results. Several numerical examples for the prediction of shrinkage cavity in large steel casting of SC42 and SCNCrM2 alloys are compared with experimental results. The effect of sleeve and chills on solidification patterns are also studied. Formation of shrinkage defects for the three cases of experimental castings are relatively well predicted by present model.

In this study, we focused on the correlation between the solidification structure, heat treatment and mechanical properties of the A356 alloy according to the conditions of Sr modification. The microstructural evolution of the eutectic Si and ${\alpha}-Al$ phase in the A356 alloy castings depending on the amount of Sr were investigated during solid solution heat treatment using an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope and an image analyzer. In addition, tensile tests on the heat treated materials examined the relationship between the microstructure and the fracture surface. The as-cast A356 alloys under 40 ppm Sr showed an undermodified microstructure, but that of the added 60-80 ppm Sr had well modified structure of fine fibrous silicon. After solid solution treatment, the microstructure of the undermodified A356 alloy exhibited a partially spheroidized morphology, but the remainder showed the fragmentation of fibrous shaped silicon. The spheroidization of the eutectic silicon in the modified A356 alloys was completed during heat treatment, which was very effective in increasing the elongation. This is supported by the fracture surface in the tensile test.

In this paper, the hysteretic characteristics of traditional wooden house frame,which is fabricated by Sagaemachum, under cyclic lateral load are presented. Full scale frame models are used in the tests. The skeleton curves of traditional wooden frame are quite different from those of wooden frames which are fabricated using nails or bracings. The equivalent viscous damping ratios of the frame system are about 27% and 13% for ordinary and high-column frames, respectively. The nonlinear hysteretic characteristics of the frame is modeled by the so called Modified Double Target model.

Traffic lights contain very important information for safety driving. So, the delivery of the information to drivers in real-time is a very critical issue for advanced driver assistance systems. However, traffic light detection is quite difficult because of the small sized traffic lights and the occlusion in real world. In this paper, a traffic light detection method using modified color based saliency map and morphological information is proposed. It shows 98.14% of precisions and 83.52% of recalls on computer simulations.
