Polyethylene(PE) pipes have been widely used as they are easy to construct and suitable for economical efficient when they are compared with metal pipelines. This paper studied the effect of various external loadings on stress and deflection of the buried PE pipes using Finite Element Method(FEM). For this purpose, stresses of buried PE pipes were calculated according to the loading condition such as pipe types(pipe diameter $50{\sim}400mm$), burial depths($0.6{\sim}1.2m$) and internal pressures($0.4{\sim}4bar$). As a result, it was founded the effect and relation with each of loading conditions under the buried condition.

The postbuckling behavior and failure of composite cylinders subjected to external hydrostatic pressure are investigated by a finite element method and test. A nonlinear finite element program, ACOS, is used for the postbuckling progressive failure analysis of composite cylinders. A total of 5 carbon/epoxy composite cylinders were fabricated and tested to verify the finite element results. For comparison, analyses by MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/MARC are additionally conducted. Among the softwares, the finite element program, ACOS, predicts the buckling loads the best with about 11 to 26% deviation from experimental results except for one specimen. While the finite element analysis shows global buckling modes with 4 waves in hoop direction, in the experiments the local buckling appears first and results in the final failure without global buckling.

The effect of kinesio taping in patients with common peroneal nerve paralysis (PNP) have not been investigated. This purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on patients with common PNP. Ten subjects who had common PNP were included in this study. Kinesio taping was applied to the ankle joint (direction of dorsiflexion and eversion). The measurements were by manual muscle test (MMT; tibialis anterior, peroneus longus), active ROM (ankle dorsiflexion, eversion), pain (visual analogue scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT)), and balance (one leg standing). Subjects were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks of intervention. In the results, all subjects showed improvements in MMT, active ROM, Pain and balance at the 8-week. These findings are considered to be effective in applying kinesio taping on ankle joint in common PNP patients.

The Heat Transport system loop stability of CANDU-6 reactor using the CANFLEX fuel bundle was studied. The Thermal-hydraulic behavior of CANFLEX fuel bundle is similar to the conventional 37-element fuel bundle since the reactor power and the frictional pressure drop through the fuel channel is almost the same each other, Mounter the CANFLEX fuel bundle gives higher critical channel power and more homogeneous enthalpy distributions in the subchannels than 37-element fuel bundle. The SOPHT modelling or the CANFLEX fuel bundle and the Reactor outlet Header(ROH) interconnection line was made and the stability analysis response of Wolsong-1 reactor with CANFLEX fuel bundle was obtained. Without the ROH interconnection line the Heat Transport system loop using 43-element fuel bundle is unstable like the current 37-element fuel bundle. With the ROH interconnection line, however, the Heat Transport system is stable within $\pm$1％ of nominal flow. In the Heat Transport system loop stability point of view for Wolsong-1 plant therefore, the CANFLEX fuel loading is considered to be acceptable.

최근 공구산업은 산업 발전으로 공구의 사용 환경이 가혹화 되고, 첨단산업용 특수합금들이 발달하면서 이를 가공할 수 있는 새로운 절삭공구소재들이 개발되어지고 있다. 또한 고성능 절삭공구는 공구소재보다 코팅개발이 상대적으로 더욱 효과적이기 때문에 코팅 기술 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 일본에서는 새로운 코팅층 물질 개발보다는 기존의 코팅물질을 조합하거나 개량하여 성능을 향상시키는 추세이며, 이는 현재 공구산업의 효율적인 개발방향을 제시하고 있다. 기존의 빗각 증착은 기판의 각도를 변경하여 증기가 기판에 비스듬하게 입사하도록 조절하여 코팅하는 기술로 박막의 조직을 다양하게 제어하는 것이 가능하며, 구조 제어를 통한 완전화 박막을 이용한 one-batch 다기능 구현을 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 가공이 까다로운 소재를 가공하기 위한 공구에 적용하기 위해서 Al의 함량이 높은 AlTiN 소재가 개발되어 적용되고 있으며, 이 소재는 공구의 수명향상을 위한 표면처리 소재로 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음극아크 증착 시 거대입자가 박막에 증착되어 결함을 만들기 때문에 그 밀도를 낮추기 위해서 음극 아크 증착을 이용하여 공정 변화에 따른 AlTiN 박막의 표면형상을 관찰하고 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 빗각 증착을 적용하여 제작한 AlTiN 박막의 특성을 평가하였다. 고 함량의 AlTi합금 타겟을 음극 아크 소스에 장착하여 AlTiN 박막을 코팅하였다. 시편은 스테인리스강판(SUS304)과 초경(tungsten carbide; WC)을 사용하였다. 음극 아크 소스에 인가되는 전류가 낮을수록 AlTiN 박막 표면에 거대입자의 밀도가 낮아졌으며, 기판 전압과 공정압력이 높을수록 AlTiN 박막의 표면에 존재하는 거대입자의 밀도가 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통하여 거대입자밀도를 낮추는 기초공정을 도출하였다. AlTiN 박막 제작 시 빗각을 적용한 결과 $60^{\circ}$의 빗각을 적용한 다층 박막에서 상대적으로 가장 높은 경도 값을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 음극 아크 증착을 이용하여 거대입자의 밀도가 낮은 박막을 제작할 수 있는 공정을 도출하였고, 빗각증착을 적용하면 경도가 향상되는 결과를 확인하였다.

In this contribution, an integration of seamless navigation system for the pedestrian is introduced. To overcome the GPS outages in various situations, multi-sensor of GPS, INS, electronic barometer and compass are considered in one Extented Kalman filter. Especially, the integrated system is designed for low-cost for the practical applications. Therefore, a MEMS IMU is considered, and the low quality of the heading is compensated by the electronic compass. In addition, only the pseudoranges from GPS measurements are considered for possible real-time application so that the degraded height is also controlled by a barometer. The mathematical models for each sensor with systematic errors such as biases, scale factors are described in detail and the results are presented in terms of a covariance analysis as well as the position and attitude errors compared to the high-grade GPS/INS combined solutions. The real application scenario of GPS outage is also investigated to assess the feasible accuracy with respect to the outage period. The description on the current status of the development and future research directions are also stated.

This study carried out a series of experiments involving impact tests (Drop Weight type & Charpy type with a standard specimen and newly designed I-type specimen), hardness tests, and fracture surface observations of French-made roll shell steel (F), abnormal roll shell steel (M), reheated roll shell steel (R), and S25C steel under heat treatment conditiAn experimental study was carried out to study the solid-liquid mixture upward hydraulic transport of solid particles in vertical and inclined annuli with a rotating inner cylinder. The lift forces acting on a fluidized particle play a central role in many important applications such as the removal of drill cuttings in horizontal drill holes, sand transport in fractured reservoirs, sediment transport, the cleaning of particles from surfaces, etc. In this study a clear acrylic pipe was used to observe the movement of solid particles. Annular velocities varied from 0.4 to 1.2 m/s. The effect of the annulus inclination and drill pipe rotation on the carrying capacity of a drilling fluid, particle rising velocity, and pressure drop in a slim hole annulus were measured for fully-developed flows of water and aqueous solutions of CMC (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) and bentonite. The rotation of the inner cylinder was efficient at carrying particles to some degree. For a higher particle volume concentration, the hydraulic pressure loss of the mixture flow increased because of the friction between the wall and solids or between solids.

In this research, post grouting methods were applied on PHC piles, and static load tests were conducted to confirm the effect of post grouting on bearing capacity enhancement of PHC piles. Grouting pressures of 1.9 MPa and 3.5 MPa were applied, and bearing capacities of grouted piles were compared with that of non-grouted pile. From the static load test results, the bearing capacities of grouted piles were about 3 times higher than that of non-grouted pile. In addition, the design efficiency (allowable bearing capacity/nominal bearing capacity) increased from 32% to 97% after post grouting, and the axial stiffness of piles also increased by about 1.3 times per grouting pressure.
