In the development of geodynamic structures such as subduction and rift zones, a weakening mechanism is essential for localized weak zone formation in the lithosphere. Shear heating, a weakening mechanism, generates short-wavelength temperature elevation in the lithosphere; the increased temperature can reduce lithospheric strength and promote its breakup. A two-dimensional elastoplastic extensional basin model was used to conduct benchmarking based on previous numerical simulation studies to quantitatively analyze shear heating. The amount of shear heating was investigated by controlling the yield strength, extensional velocity, and strain- and temperature-dependent weakening. In the absence of the weakening mechanism, the higher yield strength and extensional velocity led to more vigorous shear heating. The reference model with a 100-MPa yield strength and 2-cm/year extension showed a temperature increase of ~ 50 K when the bulk extension was 20 km (i.e., 0.025 strain). However, in the yield-strength weakening mechanism, depending on the plastic strain and temperature, more efficient weakening induced stronger shear heating, which indicates positive feedback between the weakening mechanism and the shear heating. The rate of shear heating rapidly increased at the initial stage of deformation, and the rate decreased by 80% as the lithosphere weakened. This suggests that shear heating with the weakening mechanism can significantly influence the strength of relatively undamaged lithosphere.

A simple steel-concrete composite deck is developed for preventing the lateral torsional buckling of girders that are under construction and for reducing the term of works using H-shaped rolled beams as bridge girders. A new type of shear connectors is also developed for the composite behavior between a simple steel-concrete composite deck and the rolled beams by the connecting conditions between the deck and the girders. One is a connector bolt that is lengthened and split or tightened with two nuts and the other is an I-shaped rolled beam welded on a steel plate with a number of holes punched through the web. In this study, to estimate the shear strength of those shear connectors the push-out tests are performed and the test results are compared with that of the previous studies and the codes. The result of the push-out tests of the connector bolts showed that the shear performance is similar to that of the stud connector and revealed that the equation for the shear strength in the Korean Specification of Highway Bridge overestimates the shear capacity of the connector bolt whose diameter is larger than 19mm. From the push-out tests of punched I-shaped rolled beams with varying welding amounts, with the small amount of welding, shear capacity is governed by the shear capacity of welding. On the other hand, shear capacity is governed by the size of the punched I-shaped rolled beams, regardless of the amount of welding.

For soil improvement, sand mats or sand compaction piles are often constructed on soft marine clays. In such cases, some amounts of sand and clay are inevitably mixed. Sand or gravel often exists in the weathered soils near the slope surface. This research investigates the effect of mixing sand content on consistency limits and shear strength of clays. Firstly, sand was mixed with kaolinite or bentonite at 0, 9, 17, 23, 29, 33, 50% and then liquid and plastic limits were measured. Both plastic and liquid limits decreased as a sand content increased. The water content of clay-sand mixtures with different sand content increased by 10% or 20% step by step and then their undrained shear strength was measured using a portable vane shear device called Torvane. For all cases, undrained shear strength of clay-sand mixtures decreased rapidly until reaching a certain value. Their state changed from undrained to drained state gradually as the sand content increased, which caused their undrained shear strength to decrease. On the other hand, a series of direct shear tests were also conducted on such clay-sand mixtures to investigate the effect of sand content on cohesion and angle of internal friction. It was found from clay-sand mixtures that their cohesion decreased but angle of internal friction increased as the sand content increased.

일반적으로 이젝터(ejector)는 노즐로부터 팽창하는 높은 운동량을 가지는 주 유동과 주변의 낮은 운동량을 가지는 유동사이에서 생기는 강한 전단력을 이용하여, 분류 주변의 유체를 보다 고압의 부분까지 압축하여 수송하는 장치이다. 이젝터는 노즐(nozzle)과 디퓨저(diffuser)로 되어 있으며, 회전부분이나 활동부분을 가지지 않는 유체기계이므로 고장이 적고, 소형임에도 불구하고 대용량의 유체를 압축할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. 그러나 이젝터의 구동은 유체의 전단력만을 이용하므로 효율이 낮은 단점이 있으므로, 이젝터 형상의 최적설계 및 성능개선을 위한 연구가 필요하다.

This paper describes the rheological behavior study such as viscosity and change of shear stress regarding marine lubricating oil according to the amount of Marine Gas Oil (MGO) dilution. The viscosity reduction due to fuel dilution is crucially important characteristic to decreasing engine durability because of the abrasion of piston ring or liner. The lubricating oil used in this paper was blended with magnetic stirrer diluted High Sulfur Diesel (HSD, 0.05 wt%) ratio of 3 %, 6 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 %. The viscosity and shear stress of diluted lubricating oil were measured with the temperature range from $-10^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ using a rotary viscometer (Brookfield Viscometer). As the amount of MGO dilution increasing in lubricating oil, the viscosity and stress of those decreased, because the lubricating oil diluted MGO with low viscosity show the trends to decreased viscosity and shear stress. Especially, the viscosity and shear stress of lubricating oil radically decreased at low temperature ($0{\sim}-10^{\circ}C$) and doesn't effect in MGO dilution at over $40^{\circ}C$. As temperature risen, the reduction of the viscosity and shear stress in lubricating oil shows the Newtonian behavior. The lubricating oil was required to check up periodically to improve engine durability since the viscosity reduction by MGO dilution accelerating the engine abrasion.

We measured shear viscosity of polymeric particles, prepared by suspension polymerization with hydrophobic silica as a stabilizer at $75^{\circ}C$, by a capillary rheometer. Shear viscosity displayed a non-Newtonian behavior with an increase in weight average molecular weight. Measurement of shear viscosity at 170 and $190^{\circ}C$ with copoly(styrene/butyl methacrylate) (co-PSB) particles by varying the ratio between styrene (St) and butyl methacrylate (BMA) showed that shear viscosity was a function of molecular weight, temperature and compositional ratio. When the ratio was 7/3, 5/5 and 3/7, shear viscosity slightly reduced with an increase in BMA concentration despite similar weight average molecular weights. We found that shear viscosity of copolymers with BMA concentrations exceeding 70% displayed a sharp reduction at high shear rates. It is speculated that increased PBMA chain length contributes to enhanced flowability of copolymers. When carbon black was incorporated into co-PSB, shear viscosity progressively increased with increasing carbon black concentration. The increase in shear viscosity, however, was less pronounced compared to the cases of molecular weight increase.

The purpose of this study is to investigate risk factors of pre-hypertension and hypertension in rural residents. Nine hundred and ninety four subjects aged 40-70 yrs in Chungnam-do participated in this study. The subjects (n = 824) were classified into three groups of hypertensive, pre-hypertensive, and normotensive according to the Joint National Committee (JNC)-7 criteria. The weight, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and serum total protein, albumin, BUN, and triglyceride (TG) were positively correlated with SBP and DBP. After adjusted by age, sex and BMI, the total protein, albumin and TG were significantly correlated with SBP and DBP (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in eating habits according to the level of blood pressure. The serum albumin, creatinine, Glu-FBS, Glu-PP l20, and triglyceride were higher in both prehypertensive and hypertensive group than in the normotensive group. However, mean serum cholesterol was not different among three blood pressure groups. In this study, the common risk factors of pre-hypertension and hyper-tension were male, age of fifties, lower education level, ex-smoking, higher drinking frequency, higher BMI, body fat %, waist circumference, WHR, serum albumin and diabetes, even though the degree of risks in these variables were higher in the hypertensive group. The higher BUN was a risk factor of prehypertension, while the family history, prediabetes, serum total protein, Glu-PP l20 and higher alcohol drinking amount were the risk factors of hypertension. This result suggests that maintaining good health habit and normal range of blood parameters as well as controlling body weight have to be paid attention in order to prevent hypertention, and further reseasch on the relationship of blood pressure and BUN are needed.

복단면 하도는 홍수소통을 위한 상부 하도와 생태계 서식처 강화와 유사이송능력 개선, 경제적인 유지유량의 확보 등을 도모하는 자연적인 저수로 하도로 구성된다. 그러므로 갈수기와 홍수기의 유량차가 큰 하천에서, 복단면 하도는 하천 공학, 환경 생태 관점에서 다양한 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 복단면 하도에서의 흐름저항, 조도계수, 통수능, 수위-유량관계, 횡방향 유속분포, 그리고 하상전단응력 분포는 단단면 하도와 상이하며, 중요한 차이점은 주수로부와 홍수터부 사이의 유속차로 인하여 발생하는 활발한 운동량 교환에 의해 추가적인 전단층이 생성되는 점이다. 주수로와 홍수터 사이에서 발생된 경계전단력(Apparent Shear Force, ASF)은 하천의 전반적인 통수능을 감소시켜 홍수의 하도내 저류효과를 증가시킬 수도 있다. 또한 주수로 및 홍수터가 분담할 수 있는 유량은 경계전단력에 민감하기 때문에, 홍수터에 수목 식재, 구조물 설치 등을 계획할 경우 정량적인 항력저항의 산정을 위하여 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 복단면에서 발생하는 경계전단응력을 추정하는 다양한 방법들이 개발되었으며, 각각의 방법으로 부터 경계전단력을 정량적으로 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 방법이 실험에 근거한 경험적 방법이므로 각 식의 개발에 사용된 자료에만 적합할 수 있는 한계가 있으며, 균일한 수로의 기하학적 변수(전단면과 주수로의 하폭비, 홍수터와 주수로의 수심비, 홍수터와 주수로의 조도비, 주수로의 하폭대 수심비 등)에 의한 식으로 구성되어 수치모형에서 직접 활용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 복단면 경계전단력 산정을 위하여 개발된 다양한 연구결과들을 비교 검토하고, 기존문헌 또는 웹상에서 가용한 수리실험 자료들을 이용하여 각 방법에서 계산된 유량과 실측 유량을 비교함으로써 각 방법이 지닌 한계를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 5가지 방법은 Knight and Demetriou (1983)(이하 KD), Wormleaton and Merret (1990)(이하 WM), Cristodoulou (1992), Bousmar and Zech(1999) (이하 BZ) 그리고 Moreta and Martin-Vide (2010)(이하 MM)이다. BZ 방법을 제외하고 나머지 방법들은 전체 유량의 비교에서 5% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다. 그러나 나머지 4가지 방법 중 주수로부 유속의 비교에 있어서는 소규모 수로 실험자료만 이용한 KD 방법이 5% 이상의 오차를 나타내어 정확도가 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 비교적 단순한 형태의 Cristodoulou (1992) 방법이 적용하고자 하는 수로의 규모와 무관하게 복단면 유량예측에 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Pipe and Pressure Vessels that is used in power plant and chemical industry have many Internal Defects that is corrosion caused by the flow of fluid. These Internal Defects that have possibility of explosion are very dangerous because it can not see from the outside. This days many companys using NDT method to find an Internal Defect. Most of the NDT methods have limitations that are constraint of shape and materials. But Sheargoraphy have many advantages compared conventional NDT method. It has very fast measuring speed, non-destructive and non contacting measurement. As well as it hasn't constraint of shape and materials. As a paper on the analysis of measurement of error, the important factors were the Shearing Amount and pressure, and discovered measurement of the Internal Defect of the object by using shearography. The optimal Shearing Amount and pressure was discovered and utilized.

A constitutive model, which can simulate the effect of principal stress rotation associated with direct simple shear test, is proposed in this study. The model is based on two mobilized planes. The plastic strains occur from the two mobilized planes, and depend on stress state, and they are added. The first plane is a plane of maximum shear stress, which rotates about the horizontal axis, and the second plane is a horizontal plane which is spatially fixed. The second plane is used to consider the effect of principal stress rotation on simple shear tests under different stress states. The soil skeleton behavior observed in drained simple shear tests is captured in the model. This constitutive model is incorporated into the dynamic coupled stress-flow finite difference program FLAC. The model is first calibrated with drained simple shear tests on loose Fraser River sand. The measured shear stress and volume change are partially induced by principal stress rotation and compared with model calculations. The model is verified by comparing predicted and measured settlements due to rigid footing resting on loose sands. Settlements predicted by the proposed model were very similar to measured settlements. Mohr-Coulomb model can not consider the effect of principal stress rotation and its prediction was only 20% of measured settlements.
