An experimental assessment has been made of the drag reducing efficiency of the outer-layer vertical blades, which were first devised by Hutchins. The drag reduction efficiency of the blades was reported to reach as much as 30%. However, the drag reduction efficiency was quantified only in terms of the reduction in the local skin-friction coefficient. In the present study, a series of drag force measurements in towing tank has been performed toward the assessments of the total drag reduction efficiency of the outer-layer vertical blades. A maximum 9.6% of reduction of total drag was achieved. The scale of blade geometry is found to be weakly correlated with outer variable of boundary layer. In addition, detailed flow field measurements have been performed using 2-D time resolved PIV with a view to enabling the identification of drag reduction mechanism.

Multiconductor transmission line(MTL) equations are solved by FDTD method to examine the coupling between incident electromagnetic fields and multiconductor transmission lines. The measurement of induced voltages on UTP Category 5 and STP Category 5 cables which are used as LAN cables is carried out using a TEM cell where uniform and strong TEM fields can be established. The comparison between measured and simulated results shows good agreement. It is also found that grounding of shield foil at both terminations and small grounding resistance give good shielding effects for STP Category 5.

In the present study, an experimental assessment has been made of the drag reducing efficiency of the outer-layer vertical blades, which were first devised by Hutchins(1). A detailed flow field measurements have been performed using 2-D time resolved PIV with a view to enabling the identification of drag reduction mechanism. In addition, an experimental investigation has been made of the applicability of outer-layer vertical blades to real ship model. The arrays of outer-layer vertical blades have been installed onto the flat side and flat bottom of a 300k KVLCC model. A series of towing tank test has been carried out to investigate resistance (CTM) reduction efficiency with various geometric parameters and installed places of blades. The installation of vertical blades led to the CTM reduction of 1.44~3.17% near the service speed.

The railroad bridges have been usually experienced by vibration and impact in service state. With this reason, it is important that the effective strengthening capacity should be considered to resist the kind of service loading. In this study, NSM strengthening technique is recommended for the concrete railroad bridge because of its better effective resistance for dynamic loading condition and strengthening cost than the conventional externally bonded strengthening using fiber sheet. However, to widely apply NSM method for the concrete railroad bridge, it needs that the strengthening ratio has to be reasonably evaluated with geometrical and material uncertainties, especially for the concrete bridge under long-term service state without the apparent design history and detail information such as concrete compressive strength, reinforcing ratio, railroad characteristics. The purpose of this study is to propose the critical strengthening ratio of CFRP plate for the targeted concrete railroad bridge with uncertainties of deterioration of the structures. To do this, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) for geometrical and material uncertainties have been applied so that this approach may bring the reasonable strengthening ratio of CFRP plate considering probabilistic uncertainties for the targeted concrete railroad bridge. Finally, the critical strengthening ratio of NSM strengthened by CFRP plate is calculated by using the limit state function based on the target reliability index of 3.5.

The regional distribution of magnetic isotropy depending on the post annealing condition for the dual-type structure GMR-SV (giant magnetoresistance-spin valve) of NiFe/Cu/NiFe/IrMn/NiFe/Cu/NiFe multilayer was investigated. The rotation of in-plane ferromagnetic layer induced by controlment of the post annealing temperature inside of the vacuum chamber. The magnetoresistive curves of a dual-type IrMn based GMR-SV depending on the direction of the magnetization easy axis of the free layer and the pinned layer are measured by between $0^{\circ}$ and $360^{\circ}$ angles for the applied fields. The optimum annealing temperature having a steady and isotropy magnetic sensitivity of 1.52 %/Oe was $107^{\circ}C$ in the rotational section of $0{\sim}90^{\circ}$. By investigating the switching process of magnetization for an arbitrary measuring direction, the in-plane orthogonal magnetization for the dual-type GMR-SV multilayer can be used by a high sensitive biosensor for detection of magnetized micro-beads.

The circuit of the EEFL system and the inverter has been analyzed into the resistance RL, the capacitance C of the EEFL-backlight system, and the inductance of transformer in the inverter. The lamp resistance and capacitance are deter-mined from the phase difference is between the lamp current and voltage and from the Q-V diagram, respectively. The single Lamp of EEFL for 32' LCD-BLU has the resistance of $66\;k\Omega$ and the capacitance of 21.61 pF. The resistance, which is connected by parallel in the 20-EEFLS BLU, is $3.3\;k\Omega$ and the capacitance is 402.1 pF. The matching frequency in the operation of lamp system is noted as $\omega_M=1/\sqrt{L_2C(1-k^2)}$, where $L_2$ is the inductance of secondary coil and k is the coupling coefficient between primary and secondary coil. The lamp current and voltage has maximum value at the matching frequency in the LCD BLU system. The results of analytic solutions are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The term 'Piezoresistive effect' describes a change in the electrical resistance of the material from deformed to its original shape by the external pressure, e.g., elongation, compression, etc. This phenomenon has various applications of sensors for monitoring pressure, vibration, and acceleration. Although there are many materials which have the piezoresistive effect, rubber (nano)composites with conductive fillers have attracted a great deal of attention because the piezoresistive effect appears at the various range of pressure by controlling the type of filler, particle size, particle shape, aspect ratio of particles, and filler content. Especially one can obtain the composites with elasticity and flexibility by using the rubber as a matrix. This paper aims to review the piezoresistive effect itself, their basic principles, and the various conductive rubber-composites with piezoresistive effect.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate seismic behaviour of post-tensioned(PT) exterior slab-column connections used for the purpose to resist gravity loads only. For these, 2/3-scale, two PT post-tensioned exterior connections with two different tendon arrangement patterns and one conventional reinforced concrete(RC) exterior connection was tested under quasi-static, uni-directional reversed cyclic loading. During the lateral testing, gravity forces transferred to the column were kept constant to closely simulate a moment to shear ratio of a real building. One of the objectives of this study was to assess the necessity and/or the quantity of bottom bonded reinforcement needed to resist moment reversal which would occur under significant inelastic deformations of the adjacent lateral force resisting systems. The ACI 318 and 352 provisions for structural integrity were applied to provide the bottom reinforcement passing through the column for the specimens. Prior test results were also collected to conduct comparative studies for some design parameters such as the tendon arrangement pattern, the effect of post-tensioning forces and the use of bottom bonded reinforcement. Consequently, the impact of tendon arrangement on the seismic performance of the PT connection, that is lateral drift capacity and ductility, dissipated energy and failure mechanism, was considerable. Moreover, test results showed that the amount of bottom reinforcement specified by ACI 352. 1R-89 was sufficient for resisting positive moments arising from moment reversal under reversed cyclic loads. Shear strength of the tested specimens was more accurately predicted by the shear strength equation(ACI 318) considering the average compressive stress over the concrete($f_{pc}$) due to post-tensioning forces than that without considering $f_{pc}$.

In order to cope with the abnormally high waves during the storm surge due to climate change, various methods have been proposed for interlocking adjacent caissons to enhance stability of harbor structures. Among the methods, it was studied the method based on an open-cell caisson having reduction effect increasing the cohesion with adjunction caissons by filling materials such as crushed rocks in an inter-cell formed by two facing open-cells which consist of transverse walls. It is necessary to investigate the shear behaviors of an inter-cell to secure the stability using calculating shear forces on inter-cell under oblique wave loadings. It was analyzed the shear force share ratio with the length of internal and external wall and the number of internal walls. Numerical results show that 60~70% of the shear load is transmitted to adjacent caisson through the internal walls, more than 30% is through the external wall. It was applicable in the assumption that filling materials was uniformly distributed in inter-cells, and further studies were worth consideration on other conditions under construction.

한전은 지속적으로 지중화사업을 시행하여 현재 서울은 약 55%, 전국적으로는 약 15.5%의 지중화율을 기록하고 있다. 지중배전의 경우 가공에 비해 동일루트에 다회선이 설치가 가능하며 외부 기상여건 등의 영향이 거의 없고 설비의 단순고도화로 보수업무가 비교적 적으며 특히 쾌적한 도심환경 조성으로 지자체와 일반고객들에게 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 고가의 건설비용과 고장으로 인한 정전발생시 고정점 발견과 복구에 장시간이 소요되는 단점 또한 가지고 있는 것이 사실이다. 특히 지중변압기의 경우 바이오넷퓨즈의 동작유무를 기준으로 변압기 내부(1차측)고장인지 외부(2차측)고장인지 판단하고 있으나 바이오넷퓨즈의 동작만을 가지고 내 외부고장을 판단하는 것은 매우 위험하다는 것을 밝힌 바 있다. 그러나 변압기의 내 외부 고장을 판정하는 내부권선저항 측정방법은 절차가 복잡하고 정전을 시킨 후 측정하게 되어 있어 실효성이 매우 낮은 것으로 보인다. 이에 따라 변압기의 건전상을 정전시키지 않고 쉽게 변압기 내부권선코일의 이상유무를 판정하는 방법이 필요하다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 지중변압기 고장 발생 시 변압기 내부의 이상유무를 쉽게 파악할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.
