Acoustic-pressure response of diluted hydrogen-air diffusion flames is investigated numerically by adopting a fully unsteady analysis of flame structures in low and high pressure regimes. As acoustic frequency increases, finite-rate chemistry is enhanced through a nonlinear accumulation of heat release rate for any pressure regime, leading to a high amplification index. Same numerical results are analyzed with application of a pressure-sensitive time lag model, and thereby, interaction index and time lag are calculated for each pressure regime. The interaction index has the largest value in each pressure regime at an acoustic frequency near 1000 Hz. In a high-pressure regime, flames are more unstable than in a low-pressure regime. The interaction index shows a good agreement with the amplification index.

In this paper, we proposed Interval Type-2 polynomial Radial Basis Function Neural Networks. In the receptive filed of hidden layer, Interval Type-2 fuzzy set is used. The characteristic of Interval Type-2 fuzzy set has Footprint Of Uncertainly(FOU), which denotes a certain level of robustness in the presence of un-known information when compared with the type-1 fuzzy set. In order to improve the performance of proposed model, we used the linear polynomial function as connection weight of network. The parameters such as center values of receptive field, constant deviation, and connection weight between hidden layer and output layer are optimized by Conjugate Gradient Method(CGM) and Space Search Evolutionary Algorithm(SSEA). The proposed model is applied to gas furnace dataset and its result are compared with those reported in the previous studies.

The present study has been motivated by the development of a reliable numerical methodology for simulation of kerosene/LOx coaxial swirl injectors. To deal with thermodynamic non-ideality and anomalies of transport properties pronounced at supercritical pressures, a set of subroutine libraries has been constructed based on the cubic equations of state, and applied to an existing flamelet analysis code. For computational efficiency, two-dimensional axisymmetric RANS formulation with swirl was adopted and validated successfully against an isothermal coaxial swirling jet. For the actual problem with high pressure combustion, however, numerical results show that the RANS models yield excessive production of turbulence probably due to high density gradient magnitude in the vicinity of mixing layer of swirling film flow, and imply strongly further improvement of the turbulence models.

Acceptance level random vibration and life firing test for development model of 1 N-class monopropellant thruster have been performed. From the results of random vibration, the natural frequency of the dual thurst module composed of 1 N-class development model thrusters was higher than the part level requirement(>100 Hz) and the structural robustness was verified. Thrust decrease of steady sate was below 7% and thrust instability was within ${\pm}5%$ in the life firing test using over 20 kg propellant throughput. The computerized tomography for catalyst bed showed a less than 7% of catalyst loss and it revealed the design appropriateness of the current thruster development model.

In the present study, a new computational closure model is proposed in order to contain physical models in the k- and .epsilon.- equations. The time scale of the third-order diffusive transport of turbulent kinetic energy in a curved streamline flow field is assumed as a function of a velocity time scale and a curvature time scale, the latter being derived from the analogy between buoyancy and streamline curvature effects on turbulence. The curvature time scale is represented by a combination of Brunt-Vaisala frequency of the curvature instability and the velocity time scale. Besides the modification of diffusive transport time scale, the destruction term in the dissipation rate equation is modeled to incorporate the streamline curvature effect on the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy as a function of the ratio between velocity time scale and curvature time scale. The new curvature dependent 2-equation model is found to yield very good prediction accuracy for the various turbulent recirculating flows. Particurarly, the recovery of the mean velocity profile in the redeveloping region after the reattachment is correctly simulated by the present model.

This study discusses the inelastic behavior of single-layer latticed dome, which consists of a tubular truss member and newly proposed joint sections, through a loading test on a scaled-down structure. The loading test was performed under displacement control conditions, using loading transfer system for the same value of point loads on all joints. The maximum applied load was nearly 1.6 times of the design load, and structural failure occurred after exceeding the compressive yielding in some members. Structural displacement was maintained up to the limit of the oil jack. The behavior of the latticed dome from the loading test was analyzed according to the order of loading steps.

The experiment was carried out to fabricate alumina membrane which has a cylindrical pore structure by anodizing aluminium plate in sulfuric acid solution with the electrochemical technique. The aluminium plate for anodizing was prepared by the pretreatment process such as chemical, electro-polishing and thermal treatment. The pore size distribution and the film thickness of alumina membrane were investigated by the implementation of scanning electron microscope(SEM) and BET method. The results show that the oxide film has a geometrical structures like a Keller model and that the membrane has a uniform pore distribution. The pore size and the oxide film thickness are dependent on the anodizing process variables such as the electrolyte concentration, the reation temperature and the anodizing current density.

Recently, there has been considerable research in the field of application of Laser-Arc hybrid welding for superstructures, such as ship-structures, transport vehicles etc. However, the study on heat distribution and welding residual stress of hybrid weld by numerical simulation leaves much to be desired. Therefore, in this study, an optimized welding condition and numerical simulation for hybrid welding, using previous numerical analysis to calculate the heat source for hybrid welding, has been analyzed. For this purpose, fundamental welding phenomena of the hybrid process, using Laser and, is investigated. In order to calculate temperature and residual stress distribution in hybrid welds, a finite element heat source model is developed on the basis of experimental results and characteristics of temperature. Residual stress distribution in hybrid welds are understood from the result of simulation, and compared with the experimental values.

This article aims to analytically research for influence of residual stresses on bending moment responses against welded steel pipes subjected to quasi -static or dynamic loadings. The residual stresses of the welded steel pipe are computed by three-dimensional welding simulation. The bending moment responses of the welded and seamless steel pipes are determined by using three-dimensional dynamic elastoplastic FE analysis as a function of loading rate. It is seen from analytical results that the welded steel pipe shows lower moment response comparing to the seamless steel pipe, and moment difference between seamless and welded steel pipes tends to decrease as loading rate increases.

본 논문에서는 지중배전(22.9kV) 선로에 사용되는 지상변압기를 대상으로 수행한 방열해석 및 개선과 변압기수명연장에 관한 검토 결과를 수록하였다. 변압기의 열화메커니즘에 대한 문헌 조사를 통해 변압기 온도와 수명간의 관계를 작도하였는바, 수명 평가를 위한 핵심 인자로 열에 의한 절연지의 열화에 초점을 맞추었다. 기존 외함에 설치된 방열구중 상부 위치를 상부판에도 변경하는 경우 약25%의 통풍량 증가 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 평가 되었으며 상부판과 내함 사이에 형성되던 고온 영역에서의 온도를 약$15^{\circ}C$정도 낮출 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 절연지의 인장강도 변화로 평가한 수명예측 곡선에 따르면 약$10^{\circ}C$의 은도 저감은 약10배의 수명 연장 효과를 가져오는 것으로 나타난바, 본 연구에서 확인한 방열구의 위치 변경에 따른 지상기기 내부의 온도 저하는 변압기 수명을 연장하는데 일조할 것으로 기대된다. 기존 지상변압기에서의 방열구조를 통해 변압기 온도와 수명간의 관계를 작도하였는바, 수명 평가를 위한 핵심인자로 효과적으로 방열할 수 있는 새로운 외함의 구조 및 디자인을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 개선효과를 예측하였다. 또한, 개선된 모델을 가지고 실제 변압기를 제작한 후 부하를 인가하여 개선전과 후에 대한 방열효과를 실증시험을 통해 확인하였다.
