As part of seismic experiments investigating crustal velocity structures of the Korean peninsula, permanent (fixed) seismographs of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) network recorded seismic signals from four and eight large explosions in Korean Crustal Research Team (KCRT) profiles shot in 2004 and 2008, respectively. Among the seismograms recorded by 43 velocity sensors and 103 accelerometers at KMA stations distributed throughout the southern Korean Peninsula, 156 records with epicentral distances less than 120 km and high signal-to-noise ratios were analyzed to determine velocity anisotropy of the Pg phase. Relative elevation corrections of -101.6 to 105.3 ms were made using velocity information derived from the 2004 KCRT profile data and differences in elevation between the permanent KMA stations and the temporary stations in the KCRT profiles at the same source-receiver offsets. To remove site effects, receiver-station corrections of -89.6 to 192.2 ms were additionally made to the KMA station data by subtracting the average differences in traveltimes between KMA stations and portable stations at the same offsets for all available shots with different azimuths. With the exception of anomalously fast velocities along trends of the Chugaryeong fault zone and the Okchon fold belt and anomalously slow velocities in the regions of high terrestrial heat near Yeongduk and Ulsan, the analysis of crustal velocity anisotropy using the Pg phase indicates overall isotropy in the southern half of the Korean peninsula.

Shear wave velocity of uncemented soil can be expressed as the function of effective stresses when capillary phenomena are negligible. However, the terms of effective stresses are divided into the direction of wave propagation and polarization because stress states are generally anisotropy. The shear wave velocities are affected by ${\alpha}$ parameters and ${\beta}$ exponents that are experimentally determined. The ${\beta}$ exponents are controlled by contact effects of particulate materials (sizes, shapes, and structures of particles) and the ${\alpha}$ parameters are changed by contact behaviors among particles, material properties of particles, and type of packing (i.e., void ratio and coordination number). In this study, consolidation tests are performed by using clay, mica and sand specimens. Shear wave velocities are measured during consolidation tests to investigate the stress-induced and inherent anisotropies by using bender elements. Results show the shear wave velocity depends on the stress-induced anisotropy for round particles. Furthermore, the shear wave velocity is dependent on particle alignment under the constant evvective stress. This study suggests that the shear wave velocity and the shear modulus should be carefully estimated and used for the design and construction of geotechnical structures.

We measured the changes in P-wave velocity that occur when injecting $CO_2$ in gaseous, liquid, and supercritical phases into water-saturated anisotropic sandstones. P-wave velocities were measured in two cylindrical samples of Tako Sandstone, drilled along directions normal and parallel to the bedding plane, using a piezo-electric transducer array system. The velocity changes caused by $CO_2$ injection are typically -6% on average, with maximum values about -16% for the case of supercritical $CO_2$ injection. P-wave velocity tomograms obtained by the differential arrival-time method clearly show that $CO_2$ migration behaviour is more complex when $CO_2$ flows normal to the bedding plane than when it flows parallel to bedding. We also found that the differences in P-wave velocity images were associated both with the $CO_2$ phases and with heterogeneity of pore distribution in the rocks. Seismic images showed that the highest velocity reduction occurred for supercritical $CO_2$ injection, compared with gaseous or liquid $CO_$ injection. This result may justify the use of the seismic method for $CO_2$ monitoring in geological sequestration.

The aim of this paper is to present the modulus of elasticity of $E_L$, $E_R$, $E_T$ along three principal axis of softwood dimension lumber by nondestructive method. Ultrasonic measurement was carried out on defect free wood samples taken by the Japanese Larch, SPF (spruce-pine-fir) and Hem-fir $2{\times}4s$. The ultrasound velocities were measured to calculate young's moduli and it was derived elastic constants for each wood samples using the ultrasound velocities and densities of wood. From the test, $E_L$ was much greater than $E_R$ and $E_T$. $E_R/E_T$ ratios were about 1.3. The high density wood had high young's moduli in three principal axis and the difference in young's moduli between species was greater in transverse direction than longitudinal direction. The anisotropy of the lumber was presented through the calculated elastic moduli and compliances matrix in diagonal term were determined by inverting the stiffness matrix.

The present paper deals with numerical modeling of Love channel waves in transversely isotropic elastic medium. First, an explicit finite-difference scheme of second order approximation is formulated with the wave equation of SH particle displacement in transversely isotropic medium. Since it is a heterogeneous formulation, it should enable efficient modeling of complex model structures without additional treatment of the internal boundary matching. With a model of isotropic coal seam embedded in high velocity host rock, seismograms are synthesized and tutn out to be essentially identical with published ones of Korn and $St{\ddot{o}}ckl$. Next, anisotropic coal seams are investigated. It is found that the horizontal velocity of the seam appears to play a major role of determining the group velocity of Love channel waves. The group velocity increases with the increase of the horizontal velocity or vice versa. However, further study will be needed to exploit fully Love channel waves for the determination of lithology, stratification, fracture in sedimentary rocks, for instance, for hydrocarbon exploration and development.

For the conventional two-dimensional source location of acoustic emission (AE) based on the threshold crossing, wave velocity has to be measured in the actual structure to calculate the arrival-time difference and thus to form the two hyperbolae. Velocity is dependent on the fiber orientation, however, due to the dependence of elastic modulus on fiber orientation in anisotropic materials such as compost#e plates. This tan affect the accuracy of AE source location and make the source location procedure complicated. In this study, we propose a method to reduce the location error in anisotropic plates by using the numerical solution of nonlinear equations, where the velocity term has been removed by employing the fourth sensor. The efficiency and validity of the proposed method has also been experimentally verified.

The effects of disk surface velocity on the microstructures and magnetic properties of ${(Nd_{0.8}Dy_{0.2})}_{12}Fe_{80}B_8$ melt-spun ribbons were investigated. From the X-ray diffraction results. it is confirmed that the lower the surface velocity ($V_{s}$), the better the orientation of c-axis normal to the ribbon plane. The results of magnetic property measurements for the powder solidfied in magnetic field showed that the highest remanence was obtained from the alloy quenched at medium velocity of $V_{s}=14.6m/s$. The remanence of the powder solidfied in magenetic field was about 10 % higher than that of the powder solidfied in non-magnetic field.

구리는 탄성이방성이 큰 재료로 Si 박막상에 성장시키면 (111) 방향으로 우선 배향된 박막을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 (111) 우선 방위를 갖는 Cu 박막의 전기도금층의 재결정 후의 매우 평탄한 표면을 갖는 박막에서 에칭에 따른 박막의 단차와 표면형상을 통해 결정방위별 에칭 특성을 비교 분석한 결과이다. 10 vol% 질산용액에서 에칭한 결과는 구리의 용해에 따라 각 결정면에 대한 고유의 facetted surface morphology를 나타내며, 대표적인 결정 방위인 (111), (110), (100)에 대해 triangular flake, ridge and rectangular pyramidal shapes을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 에칭속도의 정량적 측정을 위해 120초간 2.2M 농도의 질산용액으로 에칭을 실시하였고, nanosize의 as-plated initial region, (111), (110), (100) oriented regions의 각각에서 383, 270, 276, 317 nm/min의 에칭속도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. Facet surface의 관찰을 통해 에칭반응이 (111) front surface를 갖는 열역학적 평형상태에서 일어나며, 이러한 결정방위별 에칭속도 차이는 각 결정S면이 갖는 Kink or ledge의 밀도의 차이에 기인할 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 에칭이 평형상태에서 step flow mechanism에 의해 열역학적 평형상태를 유지하면서 진행이 된다. 본 연구는 향후 다양한 에칭관련 용액 효과, 구리 박막의 응력 및 불순물에 의한 효과를 볼 수 있는 기본 방법을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다.

초고분자량 폴리에틸렌을 파라 크실렌에 녹인 희박 용액에 전단흐름을 가해 섬유를 뽑아내는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 표면성장이라 불리는 이 방법을 용액내에서 회전하는 rotor 의 표면에 흡착된 젤 층에, 결정성이 강한씨(seed)를 접촉시킴으로써 엉킨 분자쇄들이 전단력에 의해 신장되어 분자의 자유에너지가 증가하도록 하여 연속적으로 고강력, 고탄성 률 결정을 뽑아내게 한 것이다. 이표면성장법으로 섬유를 얻는데 있어서 결정화온도 rotor 속도, 권취속도 및 고분자 농도와 같은 결정화 변수를 변화시키면서 섬유의 물리적 성질에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 이방법으로 섬유를 성장시키면 열역학적 평형온도(118.6$^{\circ}C$) 이상 인 12$0^{\circ}C$에서 성장시켰을 때 133GPa의 인장 탄성계수 3.1%의 절단신도에서 5.04GPa의 고 강력을 갖는 섬유를 얻을수 있었다. 또한 이방법에 있어서는 결정화 온도가 물리적 성질에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자로 작용하였다, 고분자 농도의 영향은 0.7wt.% 이상에선 물리적 성질이 더 이상 개선되지 않았으며 오히려 장력의 증가로 불안정한 성장을 보였다. 또한 0.5wt%이하에서는 젤층의 형성이 둔화됨을 볼수 있었다. 결국 물리적 성질의 측면에서 볼 때 0.5~0.7wt%에서 최적조건을 보여주었다.
