A method to calculate stability limits is investigated to predict the characteristics of high-frequency combustion instability in liquid-propellant rocket engine. It is based on the theory of linear stability analysis proposed in previous works and useful to predict combustion stability at the beginning stage of engine development. The system of equations governing reactive flow in combustor has the simplified and linearized forms. The overall equation expressing stability limits is adopted. The procedures to evaluate quantitatively each term included in the equation are proposed. The thermo-chemical properties and flow variables required in the evaluation can be obtained from calculation of thermodynamic equilibrium, CFD results, and experimental test data. Based on the existent data, stability limits are calculated with actual rocket engine (KSR-III rocket engine). The present calculations show the reasonable stability limits in a quantitative manner and the stability characteristics of the engine are discussed. The prediction from linear stability analysis could be serve as the first approximation to the true prediction.

Thermal effect of finite-rate chemistry on linear combustion stability and film cooling effect are investigated in sample rocket engine. The flow variables required to evaluate stability limits are obtained from CFD data with finite-rate chemistry adopted in three dimensional chamber. Major flow variables are affected appreciably by finite-rate chemistry and thereby, the calculated stability limits are modified. It is found that finite-rate chemistry contributes to stability enhancement in thermal point of view. And film cooling also has the effect of combustion stabilization.

Measured shock wave effects were investigated by changing shock strength and position with particular emphasis on the stability limits of hydrogen-air jet flames. For this purpose, a supersonic nonpremixed, jet-like flame was stabilized along the axis of a Mach 2.5 wind tunnel, and wedges were mounted on the sidewall in order to interact oblique shock waves with the flame. This experiment was the first reacting flow experiment interacting with shock waves. Schilieren visualization pictures, wall static pressures, and flame stability limits were measured and compared to corresponding flames without shock-flame interaction. Substantial improvements in the flame stability limits were achieved by properly interacting the shock waves with the flameholding recirculation zone. The reason for the significant improvement in flame stability limits is believed to be the adverse pressure gradient caused by the shock, which can elongate the recirculation zone.

This study was carried out to assess quantitatively the safety of a tunnel by using critical strains in the ground. Critical strain is a new material property of the ground. It can be applied as deformation limits in the ground due to excavation using the measured displacement at the tunnel construction site. To achieve this purpose, the critical strain concept was reviewed and applied to assess the tunnel safety. First of all, the calculated excavation displacements of a circular tunnel by commercial programs were investigated and inputted into a feedback analysis module to calculate strains in the ground. Then the safety of tunnels was evaluated based on the critical strain concept. Subsequently the measured displacements obtained in the field are utilized practically to assess the safety of tunnels using the critical strain concept. Through this study, it was confirmed that the critical strain concept is useful to assess the safety of tunnels quantitatively.

In this study, a slope stability chart for assessing stability of homogeneous simple soil slopes is proposed. Most existing slope stability charts are based on limit equilibrium method, which is not rigorous in mechanical standpoint. Meanwhile, limit analysis based on the principle of virtual work and the bound theorems of plasticity is suitable for evaluating the stability of geotechnical structures such as slope due to its simplicity in computation and mechanical rigor. Numerical limit analysis taking advantage of finite elements and linear programming can consider various slope conditions and, in addition, find the optimum stability solution with effeciency. In this study, a numerical limit analysis program in terms of effective stress is developed and a mechanically rigorous slope stability chart is proposed by performing stability analyses for various slope conditions. Pore pressure ratio, commonly used in stability charts, is applied to consider the effects of pore pressure for effective stress analysis. As a result of comparison between proposed stability chart and Spencer's stability chart, it was found that Spencer's chart solutions are biased to lower bound which means conservative in design.

본 연구는 호안보호공 중 하천 바닥 또는 제방의 유지시설로 많이 쓰이는 사석의 안정성 분석을 위하여 수리실험을 실시하였다. 안정성 분석을 위해 Isbash식, Netherlands 간이공식, ASCE식, Pilarczk식, Maynord식을 검토하였다. 실험결과 사석의 직경이 커짐에 따라 한계유속이 증가하였고, 형상계수가 커지면 한계유속이 증하하였다. 또한 랜덤배열일 때보다 규칙배열일 경우 한계유속이 크게 측정 되었다. 이로서 형상계수와 인터로킹의 정도가 사석의 안정성에 중요한 함수라는 것을 나타낸다. 사석은 Maynord의 직경공식과 미 California주 정부 중량공식이 적합하게 나왔고, 모형사석의 규칙배열에서는 Pilarczk의 직경공식과 Netherlands 간이 무게공식이 적합하였다. 모형사석의 랜덤배열시에는 Isbash 공식이 적합하였다. Isbash 공식과 직경산정에 형상계수를 대입하여 새로운 식을 개발하였다. 이는 기존공식의 적용성을 더 개선할 수 있으리라고 기대된다.

Critical strain is a new material property of the ground. Critical strain concept which was established in tunnel engineering can be applied to deformation limits in the ground due to tunneling by using the measured displacement at the tunnel construction site. In this study, quantitative evaluations for the tunnel stability are conducted by analysing the displacement results obtained at the construction field. Especially, critical stain concept was reviewed from a total displacement point of view using the displacements occurring before excavation. As a results, the variation characteristics of the tunnel stability are presented on the critical strain diagram with or without the preceeding displacements.

The stability of underground openings is a major concern for the safety and productivity of mining operations. Rock mass classification methods provide the basis of many empirical design methods as well as a basis for numerical analysis. Of the many factors which influence the stability of openings, the span of the opening for a given rock mass condition provides an important parameter of design. In this paper, the critical span curves proposed by Lang, the Mathews stability graph method and the modified critical span curve suggested by the authors have been assessed. The modified critical span curve was proposed by using Mathews stability graph method. The modified critical span curve by the author have been used to assess the stability of underground openings in several limestone mines.

산사태 발생 예측은 재해를 예방하고 대처하기 위한 가장 근본적이며 효과적인 방법이나, 과학기술의 발전과 많은 노력에도 불구하고 아직 산사태의 발생 장소와 시기를 예측하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 산사태 발생 예측 기법은 크게 경험론적 지수기법, 통계적 해석기법, 물리적 해석 기법으로 나뉠 수 있다. 이 세 방법은 각기 장단점이 있으나 일반적으로 후자로 갈수록 많은 데이터가 요구되고, 해석에 시간이 필요하며, 보다 신뢰할만한 결과를 도출할 수 있다. 경험론적 지수 기법은 국내에서 실무적으로 널리 활용되고 있으며, 통계적 해석기법에 관한 연구도 수행된 바 있다. 하지만 이 두 방법론은 일정량 또는 일정강도 이상의 강우 발생 시 산사태의 발생 위험도를 공간적으로 예측할 수 있으나, 산사태의 발생 시점과 연속적인 강우량 또는 강우강도의 관계를 정량적으로 분석하기 힘든 한계가 있어 최근에는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 최근 무한사면안정 모형과 토양수분침투 모형을 결합한 시변 사면안정모형들이 활용되기 시작하고 있다. 대표적으로는 TRIGRS가 있으며, 이 모형에서는 선형화한 1차원 Richards 방정식의 해석해를 활용하여 토양수분량을 계산한 후 이 정보를 무한사면안정모형에 반영하여 시변적인 사면안정도를 구하고 있다. 하지만 Richards 방정식을 선형화하기 위해서 제한된 토양수분-압력 관계식이 사용되며, GUI가 제공되지 않아 전처리 및 후처리가 번거로운 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계를 개선하기 위해 3차원 Richards방정식을 수치적으로 계산하여 보다 다양한 토양수분-압력 모형과 초기조건을 반영할 수 있게 하였다. 또한 GUI를 지원하여 사용자가 보다 손쉽게 해석모형을 사용할 수 있도록 하였다.
