This paper deals with the structural analysis of wind turbine blades considering the bi-modulus property of CFRP, known as a more economic and efficient material for very large blades. The bi-modulus property is an unique characteristic of CFRP that shows higher tensile modulus than compressive modulus. Due to this characteristic, it is needed to apply the bi-modulus property to the computational analysis of CFRP blades to achieve more accurate results. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to apply the bi-modulus property of CFRP in a numerical simulation. To demonstrate the bi-modulus effect in FE analysis, the actual bi-modulus of CFRP was measured and applied to the structural analysis of a wind turbine blade. Moreover, the effects of the proposed method were evaluated by comparing the analysis results with actual full-scale blade static test results. As a result, it was verified that the proposed method could appropriately simulate the bi-modulus during FE analysis. Moreover, the accuracy of blade structural analysis was improved in accordance with the application of the bi-modulus property.

Brake squeal noise has been a challenging problems for a long time. It is very annoying to passengers and residents near tracks. Two methods have been applied to reduce or eliminate brake squeal noise. One is to improve frictional materials; the other is to optimize the topology and structures of brake pads. In this study, we developed two kinds of brake pads; one is a pad whose frictional material is different from the KTX brake pad friction material; the other is a flexible pad that has the same frictional material as that of the KTX brake pad, but a different structure. Squeal noise and friction coefficients were measured and analyzed using a full-scale brake dynamometer. It was found that the dynamometer test can simulate the squeal noise of KTX trains at stations. The squeal frequency of the KTX at 4500Hz was exactly reproduced; this value of 4500Hz was one of the natural frequencies of the KTX brake disc. It was also found that the squeal noise depended on the caliper pressure, initial disc temperature and braking speed. The average friction coefficient was 0.35~0.45. The new pad lowered the squeal noise by 17.3~21.6dB(A).

Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) has been planted in Korean forests for several decades, primarily for erosion control and use as a fuel supply. To enhance its value, and especially potential use as lamina for structural glued laminated timber (glulam), log quality and lumber yield of pitch pine were evaluated in this study. Trees from pure pitch pine stands with an average diameter at breast height of 32 cm were felled and bucked into 3.6m long 15 cm minimum butt-end diameter logs. Over 80% of the logs were classified to No.2 or No.3 visual grade group. Upon sawing total lumber yield was 55.2%, 39.9% for structural glulam lamina, 7.2% for louver, and 8.1% for miscellaneous use. The final lumber yield for manufacturing structural glulam, after cross-cutting to eliminate knots and finger jointing, was only 15.3%. To enhance this manufacturing yield requires that the rate of knot-included lumber used as lamina be raised. However arrangement of the knot-included lamina, whose mechanical properties need to be accurately evaluated, must be optimized to minimize any reduction to the structural glulam strength. The log quality and lumber yield of pitch pine evaluated in this study are expected to facilitate proper planning for wood product manufacture in the Korean lumbering and glulam industrial field, which has not previously dealt with this species.

팽창재와 같은 비촉성 파쇄재는 화약발파와 비교하여 볼 때 진동을 유발하지 않는다는 면에서 인접한 구조물에 영향을 주지 않고 암반을 파괴할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 비폭성 파괴방법으로 유압식 암석분할기도 팽창재와 유사한 적용성을 갖고 있으나 힘을 작용시킬수 있는 천공깊이에 제약을 갖고 있으며 규모가 큰 암반의 파괴 방법으로는 적용한계가 있다. 반면에 팽창재는 천공깊이에 큰 제약을 받지 않으며 천공수에 제한을 받지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 팽창재의 현장적용시 가장 큰 단점의 하나로 지적되고 있는 것은 파괴력을 나타내기까지의 시간이 오래 걸림으로 작업능률에 문제가 있다는 것이다. 반응시간은 물과 팽창재와의 반응률과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있으며 본 논문에서는 팽창재의 적용성을 높이기 위하여 실시한 여러 조건하에서 팽창재 반응률 특성에 관한 연구내용을 기술한다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1)팽창재의 반응은 주위온도에 큰 영향을 받는다. 2) 팽창재의 성능을 충분히 발휘하기 위하여는 주위 온도 조건에 따라 천공직경을 적절히 조절하는 것이 필요하다. 3) 낮은 주위 온도 조건에서 팽창재의 반응은 압력이 증가하는 시간이 느리고 따라서 최대 팽창압이 높은 온도 조건에 비해서 낮게 나타난다. 4)팽창압이 증가하는 시간은 팽창재와 물과의 반응률에 좌우된다.
