The distinct element method has been effectively applied to the analysis of stability and behavior of jointed rock masses. In this paper the modelling characteristics of different types of distinct element model were investigated. Arch tunnel examples were chosen to compare the calculation results of two computer codes, NURBM and CBLOCK, where the former is based on implicit algorithm, and the other on explicit one. CBLOCK calculations show that joint properties are very important parameters in the stability analysis and that the joint stiffness ratio associated with joint configuration could be used as an indicator, whereas NURBM differ from that. Some other disagreements were also identified.

Rock mass includes such discontinuities as fault, joint, bedding, crack, schistosity, cleavage. The rock mass behavior, therefore, is influenced by the discontinuity behavior. In this study, a stability and deformation analysis method considering discontinuities in rock mass is proposed, and then applied to the rock collapse disaster site. As the method, the stability analysis by the stereographic projection method was carried out in an actual site, the deformation analysis program by the finite element method including the joint element was developed, and performed. To demonstrate the applicability of this developed stability and deformation analysis method considering discontinuities in rock mass, the analysis results are examined and compared with the failure behavior at the rock mass.

이론적으로 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWNT)는 무산란 전도가 가능하여 실리콘을 대체할 차세대 나노소자의 기본소재로서 많은 각광을 받아왔다. 이러한 SWNT의 전기전자적 특성을 좌우하는 주요인자로는 직경과 비틀림도(chirality)가 있으며, 이를 제어하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제시되어왔다. 특히, SWNT 합성 시 필요한 촉매 나노입자의 크기와 튜브직경과의 연관성이 제기된 후부터, 합성단계에서 촉매 나노입자의 형태(또는 크기)를 제어함으로써 SWNT의 직경을 제어하고자 하는 직접적인 방법들도 주요방법의 한 축으로 이어지고 있다. 한편, SWNT의 합성촉매로는 철, 코발트, 니켈 등의 전이금속이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 최근에는 금, 은, 루테늄, 팔라듐, 백금 등의 귀금속에서부터 다양한 금속산화물 나노입자에 이르기까지 그 범위가 확장되었다. 본 연구에서는, 촉매 나노입자의 크기제어를 통하여 SWNT의 직경을 제어할 목적으로, 전이금속에 비해 상대적으로 융점이 낮아 비교적 낮은 온도의 열처리를 통해서도 입자의 크기를 제어할 수 있는 금 나노입자를 선정하여 SWNT의 합성거동을 살펴보았다. 합성은 메탄을 원료가스로 하는 CVD방법을 이용하였고, 합성되는 SWNT의 다발화(bundling) 등을 방지하기 위하여 수평배향 성장을 도모하였으며, 이를 위하여 퀄츠 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 우선, 콜로이드상인 금 나노입자의 스핀코팅 조건을 최적화하여 퀄츠 위에 단분산(monodispersion) 된 금 나노입자를 얻었으며, 열처리 온도 및 시간의 제어를 통하여, 1~5 nm 범위 내에서 특정 직경을 갖는 금 나노입자를 얻는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 합성 후 금 나노입자의 크기와 합성된 SWNT 직경과의 관계를 면밀히 조사한 결과, 튜브보다 나노입자의 크기가 약간 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 금 나노입자의 크기에 따라 SWNT의 합성효율이 크게 좌우되는 것을 확인하였다.

Damping information is required to analyse heat exchangers for flow-induced vibration. The most important energy dissipation mechanisms in heat exchanger tubes are related to the dynamic interaction between tube and support. In liquids, squeeze-film damping is dominat. Simple experiments were carried out of a two-span tube with one intermediate support to investigate the effects of tube-support parameters, such as: tube-support thickness, diametral clearance, tube eccentricity, tube span length, location of tube-support, and nature of dynamic interaction between tube and tube-support. The results show that squeeze-film damping is much larger for lateral-type motion than for rocking-type motion at the support. Eccentricity was found to be very important. Diametral clearance, support thickness and frequency are also very relevant. The effects of these parameters on squeeze-film damping are formulated and proposed in a semi-empirical expression.

The engineering performance of a high level waste repository is significantly dependent upon the T-H-M behavior in the engineered barrier system. An engineering-scale test facility (KENTEX) was set up to validate the T-H-M behaviors in the buffer of a reference disposal system developed in the 2002. The validation tests started on May 31, 2005 and is now in progress. The KENTEX facility and validation test programme are introduced, and pre-operation calculations are also presented to give information on the sensitive location of sensors and operational conditions. This test will provide information (e.g., large-scale apparatus, sensors, monitoring system etc.) needed for 'in-situ' tests, make the validation of a T-H-M model for the T-H-M performance assessment of the reference disposal system, and demonstrate the engineering feasibility of fabricating and emplacing the buffer of a repository.

Because pile behavior is governed by geotechnical characteristics of surrounding soils, it is therefore necessary to monitor ground responses during pile driving and analyze the relation between the behaviors of pile and ground. In this research, the 57 m long PHC pile was driven into deep soft clay in the Nakdong River estuary area. During and after the pile driving, the ground responses and the residual load of pile have been monitored for about a year, by using piezometers, inclinometers, level posts for surface settlement, and strain gauges in piles etc. As the results, the residual load by the negative skin friction along the pile increased with the dissipation of the excess pore pressure, which was developed by pile driving and reclamation. About 30% of the maximum residual load developed due to the dissipation of the increased excess pore pressure during the driving. It is thus emphasized that most piles driven in clay deposits need to be designed by considering negative skin friction along the pile.

This study aimed to understand the mode characteristics of a droplet subject to periodic forced vibration and the detachment of a droplet placed on a plate surface. An surface was coated with Teflon to clearly observe the behavior of a droplet. The contact angle between the droplet and surface and the hysteresis were found to be approximately $115^{\circ}C$ and within $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The coating process was performed in a clean room that had an environment with a low level of contaminants and impurities such as air dust, detergents, and particles. To predict the resonance frequency of a droplet, theoretical and experimental approaches were applied. Two high-speed cameras were configured to acquire side and top views and thus capture different characteristics of a droplet: the mode shape, the detachment, the separated secondary droplet, and the waggling motion. A comparison of the theoretical and experimental results shows no more than 18 discrepancies when predicting the resonance frequency. These differences seem to be caused by contact line friction, nonlinear wall adhesion, and the uncertainty of the experiment. For lower energy inputs, the contact line of the droplet was pinned and the oscillation pattern was axisymmetric. However, the contact line of the droplet was de-pinned as the oscillation became more vigorous with increased energy input. The size of each lobe at the resonance frequency is somewhat larger than that at the neighboring frequency. A droplet in mode 2, one of the primary mode frequencies, exhibits vertical periodic movement as well as detachment and secondary ejection from the main droplet.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the high temperature creep behavior of anisotropic Zr-2.4%Nb alloy which includes the hydride. To minimize the effect of the anisotropy and to achieve the bi-axial stress condition, SP creep test was performed using the Zr alloys which have the 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 200 ppm hydride. Each SP creep curve was obtained and compared. While the creep degradation of 50 ppm and 100 ppm hydride specimens was clearly found, the degradation of 200 ppm was not cleared. By the comparison of SP creep constant and stree exponent, this fact was confirmed. As the degradation of 50 ppm and 100 ppm hydride was processed, the SP creep constant was decreased and the stress exponet was increased. However, while the SP creep constant of 200 ppm hydride was decreased, the stree exponent was decreased. Finally, it was confirmed that the creep degradation of 200 ppm was not found. In conclusion, the hydride was the major parameter to control the hight temperature creep degradation of Zr alloy.

This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation into the behavior of retaining wall subject to cycles of wetting and drying due to rainfall. The stress-pore pressure coupled finite element modeling strategy was first established for stimulating the wall behavior. A series of finite element analyses were then performed on a range of conditions including different rainfall and backfill conditions. The results indicated that the rainfall intensity was the primary influencing factor for the wall behavior. Also revealed was that the pre-rainfall condition determines the magnitudes and the distribution of matric suction which in fact has a significant impact on the behavior of wall during a major rainfall. This result demonstrates the importance of incorporating the pre-rainfall condition for numerical modeling of walls during heavy rainfall. Practical implications of the findings from this study are discussed in great detail.
