In this study, the stability of group piles installed in deep sea to the seaquake was studied by performing the calibration chamber model tests for open-ended pipe piles, grouted piles under soil plug and close-ended piles installed in the simulated deep sea. For each case (a single pile, 2-pile and 4-pile groups), series of seaquake tests were performed. While, during the simulated seaquake, the compressive capacity of the single open-ended pile depended on pile penetration depth(=7m), were found to be stable. But, a single grouted pile with penetration depth of 13m kept "mobility" state, the one with penetration depth of 20m was stable and grouted pile groups with penetration depth of 7m were stable regardless of pile penetration depth. By grouting soil plug of open-ended piles and soil under the pile toe of open-ended pipe piles installed in the deep sea, failure of soil plugging was prevented. Thus, close-ended piles were more stable than open-ended pile against the seaquake motionake motion.

본 논문에서는 2차 경로의 추정을 통하여 안정성이 강화된 능동소음 제어 시스템을 제안한다. LMS 알고리즘은 구조가 단순하고 계산량이 적은 장전이 있지만, 광대역 소음원에 적용할 경우 수렴 성능이 좋지 않은 단점이 있으며, 2차 경로 및 소음원 입력의 파워가 시변 할 경우 적응 알고리즘의 안정성이 약화되는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 지속적으로 누적 오차를 추적하여 일정 값 이상으로 증가하면 자동적으로 2차 경로 전달함수를 새로 추정하는 자동오프라인 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 공조용 덕트에 광대역 소음을 적용하여 제안된 능동소음제어 시스템을 실험을 수행한 결과 우수한 특성을 얻었다.

슬롯판을 이용한 경사충격파와 경계층 간섭유동 제어에서, 슬롯판 아래에 있는 공동부의 형상을 바꾸어 가며 제어 성능을 비교하는 수치적 연구가 수행되었다. 공동형상 직사각형 5개, 사다리꼴 3개를 선정하여 shock 뒤에서 경계층 안정성, 전압손실을 기준으로 제어 성능을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과 모든 형상에 대해 제어하지 않은 상태보다 좋은 성능을 얻었다. 그 중 경계층 안정성 측면에서는 형상 L과 R, 전압손실 감소 측면에서는 형상 M과 A가 효과적임을 확인하였고, 종합적으로 슬롯의 끝 면과 공동의 길이방향 끝 면이 일치하는 형상에서 상대적으로 좋은 결과를 얻음을 확인했다. 또한 슬롯과 공동 내부유동을 분석하면서 경계층 안정성과 전압손실 감소에 영향을 미치는 것은 separation 영역을 얼마 원활히 흡입하는지의 여부임을 알 수 있었고, 상류 슬롯에서 발생하는 shock에 대한 추후 해결 연구도 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

It is generally well known that the stratification of thermal energy in heat stores can be improved by increasing the aspect ratio (the height-to-width ratio) of the stores. Accordingly, it will be desirable to apply a high aspect ratio so as to demonstrate the good thermal performance of heat stores. However, as the aspect ratio of a store increases, the height of the store become larger compared to its width, which may be unfavorable for the structural stability of the store. Therefore, to determine an optimum aspect ratio of heat stores, a quantitative mechanical stability assessment should be performed in addition to thermal performance evaluations. In the present study, we numerically investigated the mechanical stability of silo-shaped rock caverns for underground thermal energy storage at different aspect ratios. The applied aspect ratios ranged from 1 to 6 and the mechanical stability was examined based on factor of safety using a shear strength reduction method. The results from the present study showed that the factor of safety of rock caverns tended to decrease with the increase in aspect ratio and the stress ratio of the surrounding rock mass was influential to the stability of the caverns. In addition, the numerical results demonstrated that under the same conditions of rock mass properties and aspect ratio, mechanical stability could be improved by the reduction in cavern size (storage volume), which indicates that one can design high-aspect-ratio rock caverns by dividing a single large cavern into multiple small caverns.

In this study, we identified methods to improve heat stability and skin permeability of functional protein biopolymers, such as growth factors, enzymes, and peptides. The biopolymers participate in cellular activation and catalytic functions in vivo. Therefore, when applied to cosmetics, their efficacies are expected to be helpful for skin care. However, they have disadvantages that include instability to heat and low skin permeability due to their high molecular weight. To overcome these problems, we searched for a composition that increases heat stability. Stability was improved using a polymeric humectant having a long polyethylene glycol length, compared with a mono-molecular structure humectant. Next, to enhance skin permeation, a permeation enhancing peptide was selected from a phage library. The permeation enhancing peptide can be commonly used to promote the permeation of growth factors, enzymes, and peptides. Screening was performed on the polymeric humectant formulation. One dominant peptide from the modified-screening method was identified. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the permeability of the peptide was better than that of the peptide developed through a screening system based on phosphate-buffered saline. The data indicate that the polymeric humectant formulation will be helpful for increasing the heat stability of protein ingredients and that skin permeability could be increased by a formulation-specific, penetration-enhancing peptide.

In discontinuous rock masses, hydraulic-mechanical coupled analyses are required since groundwater flow in joints have a great influence on the stability of a subsea tunnel. In this study, a sensitivity analysis was performed based on coupled analysis to verify the routine which can estimate the safety factor of a tunnel in discontinuous rock mass. To this end, 324 cases of numerical calculations were performed with a commercial program, UDEC-2D. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposed routine for coupled analysis in discontinuous rock mass could give a reasonable result for the estimation of safety factor of a tunnel. Therefore, it is expected that the safety factor estimation method used in this study can be effectively applied for the stability estimation of a subsea tunnel in discontinuous rock masses.

In order to evaluate the stability of the geo-structure of railway bridge, the response dominant frequency was analyzed based on a series of impact vibration load test results. The specifications of the experiment piers were obtained by referring to the completion design data, and when data was missing, a field study was conducted. The impact vibrations test according to the scouring progress was carried out at one pier scheduled to be abandoned, and it was confirmed that the response dominant frequency can be utilized as an evaluation index for scour. In addition, the response dominant frequency was measured through an impact load test at 46 piers in 5 bridges in operation, and the scour safety of the bridge was evaluated by comparing it with the japanese proposal formula.

In this study, a lightweight wide impeller for large-area surface treatment was designed and structural stability was confirmed based on finite element(FE) analysis. A lightweight bracket FE model was established through topology optimization, and the optimal FE model was selected after structural analysis. The bending deformation FE analysis was performed, and bending deformation was included in the allowable deformation range. In addition, FE modal analysis was performed, and the range of safe speed(RPM) by rotation was suggested. Ultimately, it was confirmed that this analytical technique is effective for design the lightweight wide impeller.

In this work, experiments on hybrid sounding rocket were conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics and analyze longitudinal static stability. Tests were performed on 1/10 scale models of sounding rocket through Mach number ranging from 1.75 to 2.5 and for angle of attack from $0^{\circ}$ to $6^{\circ}$. Aerodynamic forces and moments were measured by means of a 4 component internal balance. With measured forces and moments, static stability characteristics of rocket were calculated. Tests were made for three models with different length to determine the effect of body length. The visualization of shock waves was carried out by Schlieren optical system to observe variations of shock waves with Mach number and angle of attack.

For a successful accomplishment of Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) projects, appropriate injection conditions should be designed and optimized for site specific geological conditions. In this study, we evaluated the effect of injection conditions such as injection temperature and injection rate on the geomechanical stability of CCS system in terms of TOUGH-FLAC simulator, which is one of the well-known T-H-M coupled analysis methods. The stability of the storage system was assessed by a shear slip potential of the pre-existing fractures both in a reservoir and caprock, expressed by mobilized friction angle and Mohr stress circle. We demonstrated that no tensile fracturing was induced even in the cold CO2 injection, where the injected CO2 temperature is much lower than that of the reservoir and tensile thermal stress is generated, but shear slip of the fractures in the reservoir may occur. We also conducted a scenario analysis by varying injected CO2 volume per unit time, and found out that it was when the injection rate was decreasing in a step-wise that showed the least potential of a shear slip.
