The Strain Wedge Model is useful method for horizontal bearing capacity calculation considering interaction of pile and ground deformation. However, application case of the Strain Wedge Model is rare and the strain wedge model of plenty of verification is needed on multi layered ground in Korea. In this present study, to conduct laboratory model test and numerical analysis for verification of Strain Wedge Model, adapt model that could describe the interaction of pile and ground deformation on multi layered ground. In model test, it was performed to estimate the behavior characteristics on pile under lateral load and to analyze the relationship between load and deformation. In addition, it was fulfilled to measure the skin friction on pile using strain gauge and to decide the ground passive resistance wedge using skin friction. Numerical analysis was performed to verify laboratory model test results.

The damping force of a jaw pad is determined by the displacements of main part when two lockers are locked, after the damping angle of a locker was set up in the wedge type rail damp for a container crane. In this time, of the resistance of wedge frame generates due to several factors, the damping angle of a locker to display the initial clamping force will be changed because of the reduction of displacement of extension bar. This resistance is determined by the eccentric distance between the roller and the wedge, and by the gap between the wedge frame and outer frame. In this study we measured the tensile force of both extension bar through the performance test of the prototype rail damp in order to evaluate the effect of the resistance of wedge frame on the damping force of the wedge type rail clamp.

최근 들어 하구의 이용도가 높아져 감에 따라 용수 취수, 염해 방지공, 하도 계획, 수질 개선 등의 문제와 관련하여 하도 내로 침입하는 염수쐐기를 적절히 제어해야 될 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이를 위해 염수쐐기의 형태와 거동특성을 정확하게 예측하고 내부유동 구조를 구명하는 것이 필요하다. 염수쐐기의 수리학적 특성에 관한 국내외 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 국내에서는 하구에서의 유동장 해석을 위한 연구와 염수침입 현상과 반대로 담수 유출이 해양환경에 미치는 영향에 관한 해양공학적 연구가 주로 수행되었다. 국외에서는 1950년대 초반에 하구에서의 염도 혼합양상과 확산계수의 결정 및 수학적 모형에서 각 항들의 상대적 중요성 평가와 같은 기초적인 연구가 수행되었으며, 1970년대에 컴퓨터의 급속한 발전에 힘입어 다양한 수치적 기법이 개발되어 폭이 좁고 성층화된 하구에서의 수치계산이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 정상 염수쐐기의 형태 및 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 수리실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 염수수조, 담수유입부, 수로부로 구성된 실험수로에서 수행되었으며, 염수와 담수간의 밀도차에 근거하여 실험 조건을 설정하였다. 실험을 통하여 밀도차와 담수유입량에 따라 염수쐐기의 형태 및 거동특성이 지배됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dose distribution when wedge filter is used in the various tissue electron density materials. The dose distribution was assessed that the enhanced dynamic wedge filter and physical wedge filter were used in the solid water phantom, cork phantom, and air cavity. The film dosimetry was suitable simple to measure 2D dose distribution. Therefore, the radiochromic films (Gafchromic EBT2, ISP, NJ, USA) were selected to measure and to analyze the dose distributions. A linear accelerator using 6 MV photon were irradiated to field size of $10{\times}10cm^2$ with 400 MUs. The dose distributions of EBT2 films were analyzed the in-field area and penumbra regions by using dose analysis program. In the dose distributions of wedge field, the dose from a physical wedge was higher than that from a dynamic wedge at the same electron density materials. A dose distributions of wedge type in the solid water phantom and the cork phantom were in agreements with 2%. However, the dose distribution in air cavity showed the large difference with those in the solid water phantom or cork phantom dose distributions. Dose distribution of wedge field in air cavity was not shown the wedge effect. The penumbra width, out of the field of thick and thin, was observed larger from 1 cm to 2 cm at the thick end. The penumbra of physical wedge filter was much larger average 6% than the dynamic wedge filter. If the physical wedge filter is used, the dose was increased to effect the scatter that interacted with photon and physical wedge. In the case of difference in electron like the soft tissue, lung, and air, the transmission, absorption, and scattering were changed in the medium at high energy photon. Therefore, the treatment at the difference electron density should be inhomogeneity correction in treatment planning system.

1986년 미국 음향학회 수중음향학술분과 특별회기중에 제안된 표준쐐기형 매질내의 음장을 계산하기 위하여 영상모델이 사용되었다. 음장의 계산 결과는 왕복결합모드무델과 음선모델에 의한 계산 결과들과 비교되었다. 영상모델은 그 특성에 의한 제한점을 갖고 있으나, 표준 쐐기형 매질의 음장 계산에 사용될 수 있고, 기존의 수치모델과는 달리 개인용 컴퓨터로써 쐐기형 매질의 음장 계산이 가능하기 때문에 음파 전파 현상분석 등의 연구에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

A simplistic quality assurance (QA) method was designed for a Linac built-in enhanced dynamic wedge (EDW), which can be utilized to make wedged beam distributions. For the purpose of implementing the EDW symmetry QA, a film dosimetry system, low speedy dosimetry film, film densitometer and 3D RTP system were used, and the films irradiated by means of a 60$^{\circ}$ Reversed wedge pair (REWP) method. The profiles were then analyzed in terms of their symmetries, including partial treatment, which is the case of stopping it abruptly during EDW irradiation, and the measured and calculated values compared using the Cad Plan Golden Segmented Treatment Table (Golden STT). The result of this experiment was in good agreement, within 1 %, of the 'reversed wedge pair counterbalance effect'. For the QA of the effective wedge factor (EWF), the authors measured EWFs in relation to the 10$^{\circ}$, 15$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 25$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and 60$^{\circ}$ EDW, which were compared with the calculated values using the correction factor derived from the Golden STT and the log files produced automatically during the process of EDW irradiation. By means of this method it was capable of check up the safety of effective wedge factor without any other dosimetry system. The EDW QA was able to be completed within 1 hour from irradiation to analysis as a consequence of the simplified QA procedure, with maximized effectiveness. Unlike the metal wedge system, the EDW system was heavily dependent on the dose rates and jaw movements; therefore, its features could potentially cause inaccuracy. The frequent simplistic QA for the EDW is essential, and could secure against the flaw of dynamic treatment that uses the EDW.

Four different wedge angle absorptive tiles were designed and made, and the magnitudes of the reflected acoustic fields by the wedge shaped underwater sound absorptive tiles were measured. The minimum magnitude was found at the angle of 30$^{\circ}$ and the maximum of it was found at the wedge angle of 120$^{\circ}$ from measured the reflected acoustic fields at the front sides of the tiles. The fact that as wedge angle of the absorptive tile increases, the reflection coefficient is increasing is verified. The measured reflected acoustic fields were not dependent on the frequency in the range of 10kHz~30kHz used in this experiment for the same wedge angle tile. The measured reflected acoustic fields at the back sides of the tiles show that they are independent from both type of the absorptive tiles and the frequencies used in the experiments. The measured values and the computed values by the numerical model for the reflected acoustic fields of the wedge shaped absorptive tiles are fairly well comparable with one another.

This study presents the behavior of unsteady saline wedge in which it is examined velocity profile variations at the lower layer (inner wedge) and wedge tip responses to a tidal action in a rectangular open channel. Unsteady saline wedge has just tidal excursions corresponding to tidal amplitudes at the river mouth, although two wedge tips in flood and ebb tide remarkably have different shapes. Maximum velocities at the lower layer appear immediately from high water to low water level (or low to high water). Numerical computation results obtained by only just interfacial friction factor at the steady state show satisfactory agreements with experimental data. However, the numerical model on one-demensional two-layer flor still has some problems to date.

Supersonic jets impinging on $60^{\cire}$ wedge were investigated to obtain fundamental design data for jet deflector It was of interest to study flow phenomena such as shock interaction and separation induced by shear layer. Experiments using supersonic cold flow system were conducted for Schlieren flow visualization and measurement of surface pressure. Numerical results were compared with the experimental results. The major parameters are underexpansion ratio, distance from nozzle to apex and design Mach number. Flow conditions were obtained for the wedge shock to attach on or detach from the wedge. The dominant feature of flow-field is shock pattern induced by the Interaction between the wedge shock and the barrel shock.
