In this paper, we have numerically investigated two-dimensional dielectrophoretic (DEP) motions of a single particle suspended freely in a viscous fluid, interacting with a nearby nonconducting planar wall, under an externally applied uniform direct-current electric field. Particularly, we solve the Maxwell equation with a large sharp jump in the electric conductivity at the particle-fluid interface and then integrate the Maxwell stress tensor to compute the DEP force on the particle. Results show that, under an electric field parallel to the wall, one particle is always repelled to move far away from the wall and the motion depends strongly on the particle-wall spacing and the particle conductivity. The motion strength vanishes when the particle is as conductive as the fluid and increases as the conductivity deviates further from that of the fluid.

자연하천 바닥 경계층 내에서는 복잡한 난류 구조가 형성되며 이들은 하상에 강한 모멘텀을 전달한다. 바닥 부근에 분포하는 유사 입자들은 경계층 내에서 발생한 난류 흐름으로부터 모멘텀을 전달받아 소류사 혹은 부유사 형태로 이송되게 되며, 이러한 유사 이송 과정을 역학적으로 설명하기 위해서는 경계층 내 유체 흐름에 대한 이해가 선행되어야한다. 경계층 내 난류 흐름 특성이 유사 입자의 움직임에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하기 위해서는 바닥 경계층 내 고해상도 유속 자료와 유사 움직임을 동시에 포착할 수 있는 기술이 요구된다. 하지만 현재까지 수행된 대부분의 선행 연구들은 점 유속을 측정할 수 있는 음파 도플러 유속계 (Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry) 혹은 2차원 입자 영상 유속계를 활용하였으며, 이들은 복잡한 3차원 난류 흐름 특성을 분석하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 실험실 실험을 통해 바닥 경계층 내 3차원 난류 흐름이 유사 이송에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 유사 주변에서의 고해상도 3차원 흐름 유동장 및 순간적인 유사 움직임에 대해서는 합성 개구 (synthetic aperture) 기반의 3차원 입자 영상 유속계 및 입자 추적 유속계를 활용하여 취득하였다. 취득된 흐름 유동장을 기반으로 레이놀즈 전단응력을 산정하였으며 이를 통해 유체가 하상에 미치는 모멘텀의 크기를 파악하였다. 복잡한 난류 흐름 구조에 대해서는 팔분원 분석 (octant analysis)을 통해 구분했으며, 유사가 움직이는 순간의 유속장을 기반으로 유사 이송을 발생시키는 지배적인 난류 흐름 특성에 대해 규명하였다. 본 연구는 바닥 경계층 내 복잡한 3차원 난류 흐름과 유사 입자의 움직임을 동시에 분석함으로써 기존에 수행되어왔던 선행 연구들의 한계점을 극복하고 보다 명확한 유사 이송의 발생 원인에 대해 분석했다는 점에 의의가 있다.

The carbonate sands of the Sabkha layer in the Middle East have very low shear strength. Therefore, instant settlement and time-dependent secondary settlement occur when inner voids are exposed, as in the case of particle crushing. We analyzed settlement of the Sabkha layer under a large-scale foundation by hydrotesting, and compared the field test results with the results of laboratory tests. With ongoing particle crushing, we observed the following stress-strain behaviors: strain-hardening (Sabkha GL-1.5 m), strain-perfect (Sabkha GL-7.0 m), and strain-softening (Sabkha GL-7.5 m). General shear failure occurred most frequently in dense sand and firm ground. Although the stress-strain behavior of Sabkha layer carbonate sand that of strain-softening, the particle crushing strength was low compared with the strain-hardening and strain-perfect behaviors. The stress-strain behaviors differ between carbonate sand and quartz sand. If the relative density of quartz sand is increased, the shear strength is also increased. Continuous secondary compression settlement occurred during the hydrotests, after the dissipation of porewater pressure. Particle crushing strength is relatively low in the Sabkha layer and its stress-strain behavior is strain-softening or strain-perfect. The particle crushing effect is dominant factor affecting foundation settlement in the Sabkha layer.

This study aims at developing the conductive pastes consisting of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone and metal powder as matrix and filler, respectively. Electrical and rheological properties of metal - filled polymer composites are in general strongly affected by particle shape, side and dispersion state of the filler. In highly filled systems, particles tend to form very complex agglomerated structure which is easily changed when subjected to shear deformation. And the breakdown of agglomerated particles due to shear usually leads to the change of electrical conductivity of the composite. In this study, the effect of particle size and dispersion state of filler on the electrical conductivity of the composites are investigated to offer the selection criteria of conductive filler by measuring the rheological properties of uncured composites and the electrical conductivity of the cured composites. It was found that the type of metal filler systematically affected the rheological property, the susceptibility to shear and the degree of change of electrical conductivity of the composite. The effect of shear on the properties is more conspicuous in the composites containing large particle, indicating that both rheological and electrical properties can be improved by controlling the dispersion state at a given filler content.

Ceria ($CeO_2$) becomes one of important functional nanomaterials and a key abrasive material for chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) of advanced integrated circuits in silicon semi-conductor technology. Two synthetic crystalline ceria (RT735, RT835) are studied by the Rietveld structural refinement to determine crystallite size and microstrain. Rietveld indices of RT735 and RT835 indicate good fitting with $R_p(%)=8.50$, 8.34; $R_{wp}(%)=13.4$, 13.5; $R_{exp}(%)=11.3$, 11.5; $R_B(%)=2.21$, 2.36; S(GofF: Goodness of fit)=1.2, 1.2, respectively. $CeO_2$ with space group Fm3m show a=5.41074(2), 5.41130(6) ${\AA}$, V=158.406(1), 158.455(3)${\AA}^3$ in dimension. Detailed Rietveld refinement reveals that crystallite size and microstrain are 37.42(1) nm, 0.0026 (RT735) and 72.80(2) nm, 0.0013 (RT835), respectively. It also shows that crystallite size and microstrain of ceria are inversely proportional to each other.

To better understand the fundamental problems of the true micro-damage in medium-grained granite under uniaxial compressive stress, micro-damage localization, initiation and propagation have been observed in a great detail in contact portion of two grains such as quartz and feldspar. For this purpose, new experimental system allowing us to observe the micro-damaging process continuously was developed. Earlier studies used the specimens of unloaded state and it is difficult to visualize stress-induced microcracks under unloading state. Thus, direct observation under loading state is very important for understanding the true micro-damage process. The results explain well the mechanism of micro-damage at two grains, and mechanics of the micro-damage is clarified well by Hertzian fracture mechanics.

시멘트 페이스트의 비선형적 점탄성 거동을 연구하기 위해 동적인 전단 유동 시험 이 수행되었다. 전단응력과 전단변형 또는 전단변형율간의 관계를 보여주는 히스테리시스 곡선을 얻기 위하여 전단응력이 연속적으로 측정되었다. 이는 기존의 주파수 혹은 변형의 증가에 의한 실험(frequency or strain sweep experiment)과는 달리 저자에 의해 수정된 점 성계(HAAKE Model RV20/RC20/CV20N)의 조정프로그램을 이용하여 수행되었다. 동적 전 단유동시험에서 얻어진 히스테리시스곡선은 시멘트 페이스트가 전단변형을 받는 동안 선형 탄성, 입자간 연결고리의 파괴 및 점성유체 거동을 보여준다. 측정된 항복전단응력은 전단변 형율의 증가에 따라 파우어함수(Power low equation)에 의해 증가함을 보여준다.

An explosion modeling technique was developed by using the spherical discrete element code, $PFC^{3D}$, which can be used to model the dynamic stress wave propagation phenomenon. The modeling technique is simply based on an idea that the explosion pressure should be applied to a $PFC^{3D}$ particle assembly not in the form of an external force (body force), but in the form of a contact force (surface force). The stress wave propagation modeling was conducted by simulating the experimental approach based on the Hopkinson's effect combined with the spatting phenomenon that had previously been developed to determine the dynamic tensile strength of Inada granite. As a result, the stress wave velocity obtained by the proposed modeling technique was 4167 m/s, which is merely $3\%$ lower than the actual wave velocity of 4300 m/s for an Inada granite.

The purpose of this paper is to present an photoelasticity technique for measuring the displacement and stress distribution in particle assembly subjected to shallow foundation loading. Photoelastic measurement technique was employed to visualize the force transmission of a particle assembly. A model assembly bounded by a steel frame was built by stacking bi-dimensional circular particles made of polycarbonate elastomer. Each particle was coated by a thin photoelastic sheet so that the force transmission represented by bright light stripes can be visualized. In a contacted particle, both magnitude and orientation of principal stress difference can also be measured via the photoelasticity technique. The different distributions of the contact stresses at the initial loading and near the failure were quantitatively compared. The photoelastic patterns and displacement fields observed in the pre-failure state disappears immediately after the buckling of confined force chains.
