In the past it has been often observed that the shear stresses at failure are much smaller than the shear strength obtained from traditional laboratory tests and conventional analysis technique is inadequate in stiff soil, such as cemented sand. Many researchers have brought attention to the fact that the presence of flaws i.e. fissures, cracks, joints have a great effect on the strength and overall stress-strain behavior of such materials. They have thought that fracture mechanics may appropriately be adopted as a good tool for analysis of these materials. However, the use of fracture mechanics concept especially for cemented sands is faced with difficulties in obtaining relevant parameters, because fracture parameters and predictions are highly dependent on the material constituents and the size of specimens as well as the size of particles. This paper addresses the effects of sizes which include specimen and aggregate on fracture properties of cemented sand. The results of laboratory tests show that the sizes of specimens and particle have a great effect on the fracture properties such as nominal strength of cemented sand.

When gas/particle partitioning of PAHs in the atmosphere approached an equilibrium state, the slope of linear regression between gas/particle partitioning coefficient($logK_p$) and subcooled liquid vapour pressure($logP_L^O$) was -1. But it was alleged that the slope of equilibrium state might not be -1 in real atmospheric environment due to heterogeneous characteristics of particulate matter. In This study, it would be found if gas/particle partitioning of PAHs segregated with particle size in equilibrium state was based on the hypothesis mentioned above. We have calculated the slopes of $logK_p$ v.s. $logP_L^O$ after collecting 10 set samples which consisted of particulate and vaporous phases. The slope was close to -1 in equilibrium states. But despite of equilibrium state, all slopes segregated with particle size were not close to -1 and those were gentler with larger particle size. The difference of slopes in equilibrium states was almost against the assumption of gas/particle partitioning theory. When the gas/particle partitioning was due to adsorption, the desorption enthalpy was different in each particle size. When it was absorption, the activity coefficient was different. The difference of desorption enthalpy and activity coefficient in each particle size indicate the heterogeneous characteristics of the bulk particle. This may be the reason for slope variation with particle size even though in an equilibrium state.

Pt/SiO2/Si 기판구조위에 스크린인쇄법과 졸-겔법에 의해 (Pb, La)TiO3(PLT) 후막 과 박막을 도포시켜 $650^{\circ}C$후속열처리 온도에서 결정화한후 결정특성과 전기적 특성을 조사 하였다. $650^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 후속열처리된 PLT 시료의 경우 전형적인 perovskite 결정구조를 보 여주었다. SEM 단면형상으로부터 Pt 전극과 PLT막 사이에는 비교적 평활한 계면형상을 보여주었다. PLT 후막과 박막시료의 잔류분극(2Pr) 값은 약 1$\mu$C/cm2 으로각각 나타났으며 이와같이 후막 PLT시료에 비해 박막시료의 잔류분극값이 큰이유는 박막시료가 보다 양호 한 결정성을 지니기 때문이었다. 상온부근에서 후막과 박막시료의 초전계수값은 약 1.5nC/cm2.$^{\circ}C$와 4.0nC/cm2.$^{\circ}C$의 값을 각각 나타내었으며 누설전류의 크기는 약 0.3~0.8$\mu$ A/cm2의 비교적 양호한 누설전류 특성을 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 MBR 공정 유출수의 화학응집에 따른 특성을 알아보고자 A2O공정 하수처리수를 대상으로 막의 공극 크기와 약품 교반시간 및 응집 침전시간에 따른 인 제거 효율을 조사하였다. 막 여과 전후의 시료에 대한 응집실험결과 막 여과 전후의 응집제 투입에 따른 인 제거효율은 막 여과 전 90%와 비교했을 때 각각 74.5, 71.2, 62.6%로 최고 37.4%까지 큰 차이를 보였으며 이것은 막 여과로 인하여 시료 내 존재하는 콜로이드성 물질들의 입자 크기가 작아져 응집반응을 위한 응집핵 형성에 영향을 주었기 때문이며 막의 공극 크기가 작을수록 인 제거 효율도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 완속교반과 침전시간을 길게 할수록 인 제거 효율이 증가하였다. 침전시간이 10분일 경우는 인 제거 효율이 막 여과 후의 시료에 대해서 각각 45.3, 35.1, 52.0%로 인 제거가 상당히 불안정하였고 60분일 경우에는 각각 83.4, 85.1, 80.7%로 탁월한 인 제거가 일어난 것을 알 수 있었다.

The relationship between grain size and number of magnetic domain walls for tertiary recrystallized ultra thin 3 % Si-Fe strips was investigated. It was found that the strips with different grain size can be produced by controlling the inserting speed of sample in annealing furnace. Though grain size of the stirip became smaller than 1mm, $B_{8}$ of high value above 1.95T was obtained. But $H_{c}$ increased with decaying the grain size. The magnetic domains and losses of the ultra thin grain oriented silicon steel with smaller grian size were observed. The eddy current losses of the strips were decreased with decreasing the grain size in high frequency range because strips with smaller grain have narrower magnetic domain wall spacings. But Hysteresis losses of the strips with smaller grain have high value in low frequency range. Therefore the iron loss of ultra thin grain oriented silicon steel could be controlled by the grain size. It was clarified that the minumum tatal loses depended on the exciting frequency and grain size.

In this study, laboratory hydraulic fracturing tests are carried out to evaluate the effects of the cleavage anisotropy of Pocheon granite. Breakdown pressure is smaller when cracks are generated to the direction of rift plane in constant pressurization rate condition because of higher microcracks density. Besides not only injection rate changes but also the amount of injection pressure for fracture initiation and crack expansion is detected while testing due to internal deformation. Pressurization rate is higher while hydraulic fracture testing with constant injection rate condition in case of the specimen which has rift plane perpendicular to borehole because there are much flow paths to penetrate compared to the specimen which has hardway plane perpendicular to borehole. Observation by X-ray CT scanning shows that almost all of cracks due to hydraulic fracturing are generated to the direction of plane which has higher microcrack density that is rift plane or grain plane.

When a saturated clay is sampled from a borehole in an undisturbed manner, the exerted negative pore water pressure restricts the volume expansion. The vertical and horizontal stresses to which the clay was subjected in the ground are smaller and larger than this isotropically confining stress equivalent to the mean principal stress in the ground, respectively. Therefore the sample expands vertically and shrinks laterally under an undrained condition. In the ordinary consolidation test, the sample thus deformed is trimmed to fit the inside of the consolidometer ring. Thus, the specimen generates larger consolidation displacement due to confining larger horizontal stress when in-situ effective pressure is loaded. The specimen does not reproduce the in-situ consolidation behavior, In this paper, considering sample deformation, the test specimen is made to expand laterally to fit the inside of the ring in the undrained manner when the in-situ effective pressure is loaded. And applicability of this proposed test procedure was verified; results from the conventional consolidation test procedure are also discussed.

In this study, an actual test procedure was considered for the effective operation of a bulletproof test. The problems of the existing system were drawn in two ways. First, it is difficult to mount items of various shapes. Second, various test standards cannot be applied. To improve these problems, an automated and standardized mounting system was designed/applied to mount various items. The multi-purpose mount was compatible with the backing support for body armor testing. The sample holding frame was located inside and was designed to mount samples of various sizes and shapes through vertical movement and fixation without a separate detachment/attachment process. A comparison of the economics before and after the introduction of the item mounting system confirmed the effectiveness of the system by the increased number of daily tests and equipment utilization and reduced hourly cost.

The concentration and hydrodynamic radius of nano-sized fluorescence particles diffusing in solution were compared by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), which can measure the variation of the correlation function of a fluorescence signal by size and number of particles. The used nano-sized fluorescence particles are Alex Fluor 647, quantum dots, and fluorescence beads, and three kinds of sample solutions with different concentrations were prepared by dilution to 1/10 and 1/100 with distilled water for each kind of particles. The effective focal volumes were calculated by using the known diffusion coefficient of Alexa Fluor 647 particles, and the diffusion time, number of particles in focal volume, and variation of concentration according to the dilution could be measured by the FCS system. Through this study, we determined that the concentrations of arbitrarily diluted sample solutions can be measured by a home-built FCS setup in the range of 0.1 nM ~ 10 nM and that the diffusion coefficient of the quantum dot was $27{\pm}1{\mu}m^2/s$.

Using wood pellets, which are used as fuel for thermal power generation plants, as test specimens, the minimum spontaneous ignition temperatures according to the size of the container for the test specimens were measured, and by applying the Frank-Kamenetskii theories on thermal energy to these temperatures, the danger factor of the materials were calculated by deriving the apparent activation energies. The results confirmed that the ignition threshold temperature decreased as the size of the container increased and that the spontaneous ignition energy was 37.83 kcal/mol. The results also confirmed that the larger the container for the test specimens was the time to arrive at the spontaneous ignition time and maximum temperature also increased.
