The characteristic of volumetric efficiency considering gas exchange process in a reciprocating engine is presented in this paper. The characteristic method is used for solving gas exchange problems of engine system in theoretical studies. The validity of the simulation is investigated by a comparison with the results obtained by the experiment which have been performed on the practical 4-cycle, 4-cylinder gasoline engine. The relationship between the volumetric efficiency and the intake pressure variation according to configuration of intake pipe, position of branch point, valve timing, compression ratio is clarified through simulation and experiment. The results predicted by the simulation are found to be in approximate agreement with those obtained by the experiment.

In this study, the effects of the characteristics of droplets of water spray on suppression of fire were analyzed numerically using fire dynamics simulator (FDS) 6.5.2. Additionally, the fire suppression characteristics by the water spray nozzle, including the extinguishing coefficient (EC), droplet size distribution function (SDF), median volumetric diameter (MVD), and droplets per second (DPS), were evaluated in terms of the decreasing normalized heat release rate (HRR) curve and cooling time. It was observed that with increase in the EC, the normalized HRR curve decreased rapidly, and the changing MVD affected the suppression of fire. In case of mono-disperse, the normalized HRR curve decreased slowly with the increase in DPS. On the contrary, in case of multi-disperse, the normalized HRR curve decreased rapidly even with a small increase in DPS.

The settlements by liquefaction seldom occur uniformly because of soil homogeneity, however differential settlements are major cause of the damages to structures. From the past researches, author paid attention to the fact that stress history during undrained cyclic shear process affects greatly on the volumetric strains of the post-liquefaction. Therefore, the effect of the residual shear strain in cyclic shear process was examined in this study. The experiment apparatus based on strain control with volumetric strain control device was used for the study to investigate the effect of the residual strain on the relationship between volumetric strain and effective stress of clean and granite sandy soil. It could be seen an insignificant difference in the volumetric strain after liquefaction under various residual shear strain conditions in the case of clean sand. On the other hand, in granite sandy soil, the volumetric strain after liquefaction was small when the lower level of the residual shear strain was applied. And, the residual shear strain during cyclic shear affected the shape of the relation curve between effective stress and volumetric strain as well.

본 연구에서는 레이더 강우를 이용하여 시공간적 변동성을 고려한 격자형 면적강우량을 산정하기 위하여 추계학적 방법인 칼만필터 기법을 이용하여 지상 강우 관측망과 레이더 강우 관측망을 조합하여 면적강우량을 산정하였다. 또한 전통적인 지상 강우량을 면적강우량으로 전환하는 기법인 Thiessen법, 역거리법, 크리깅 기법을 이용하여 면적강우량을 산정한 후 칼만필터 기법에 의해 보정된 면적 레이더 강우와 비교 하였다. 그 결과, 칼만필터 기법에 의해 보정된 레이더 강우는 실제 강우 분포와 유사한 공간분포를 가지는 원시 레이더 강우 분포를 잘 재현하면서도 강우 체적(볼륨)은 우량계 자료의 체적과 유사하게 나타났다. 그리고 칼만필터 기법에 의해 보정된 레이더 강우를 물리적 기반의 분포형 모형인 $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형과 준분포형 모형인 ModClark 모형에 적용하여 홍수유출을 모의하였다. 그 결과, $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형은 첨두시간과 첨두치가 관측 수문곡선과 유사하게 모의되었으며 ModClark 모형은 총 유출체적에서 좋은 결과를 나타냈다. 그러나 매개변수 검증에서는 $Vflo^{TM}$ 모형이 ModClark 모형보다 관측 수문곡선을 잘 재현하였다. 이를 통해 지상강우와 레이더 강우를 적절하게 조합하여 정확도 높은 면적강우량을 산정하고 분포형 수문모형과 연계하여 홍수유출모의를 실시할 경우 충분한 적용성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of soil grain size and its distribution on soil-water characteristic. To do this, soil-water characteristic tests were conducted on Saemangeum silt using the axis translation technique. For comparison, the test was also conducted on Jumunjin sand. Using the test results, the soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) of Saemangeum silt and Jumunjin sand were predicted by Van Genuchten model. By comparison and analysis between two SWCCs, the silt shows higher values of matric suction, water content, and air entry value than the sand. On the other hand, the sand has higher values of Van Genuchten model parameters of ${\alpha}$, $n$, $m$ than the silt. It indicates that the SWCC is significantly dependent on the structure of soils. In other words, if a soil has relatively high grain size and poor grain size distribution curve, the values of saturated volumetric water content, residual volumetric water content, and air entry value are small, and the variation of volumetric water content is high in accordance with the matric suction variation, and consequently it shows a narrow range of funicular region.

This paper deals with free vibrations of the circular curved beams with constant volume, whose cross sectional shapes are the circular solid cross-sections. Volumes of the objective beam are always held in constant regardless shape functions of the cross-sectional radius. The shape functions are chosen as the linear, parabolic and sinusoidal ones. Ordinary differential equations governing free vibrations of such beam are derived and solved numerically for determining the natural frequencies. In numerical examples, the hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped and clamped-clamped end constraints are considered. As the numerical results, relationships between frequency parameters and various beam parameters such as rise ratio, section ratio, elasticity ratio, volume ratio, slenderness ratio and taper type are reported in tables and figures.

Because of esophageal cancer has the long length of the lesion and also inhomogeneous in depth. So, the radiation dose distribution was inhomogeneous in radiation therapy. To overcomes the dose distribution uniformity using half beam method. Patient's CT image was used radiation treatment planning. We used two planning methods that one is the using normal beam and another is using half beam. Than comparing the two radiotherapy planning using target coverage, dose volume histogram, conformity index, homogeneity index and normal tissues - heart, spinal cord, lung -. In results, Treatment planning using half beam is little more than normal beam in target coverage, dose volume histogram, conformity index, homogeneity index and normal tissues covering. However, If the patient is not correct position patients may arise a side effect. Thus, the using in Half beam involving the geometrically exact under lung cancer is considered to advantage.

This paper presents the investigation of the propagation behavior of bulk longitudinal waves generated by an ultrafast laser system in thin films. A train of femtosecond laser pulses was focused onto the surface of a 150-nm thick metallic (chromium or aluminum) film on a silicon substrate to excite elastic waves, and the change in thermoreflectance at the spot was monitored to detect the arrival of echoes from the film/substrate interface. The experimental results show that the film material characteristics such as the wave velocity and Young's modulus can be evaluated through curve-fitting in numerical solutions. The material properties of nanoscale thin films are difficult to measure using conventional techniques. Therefore, this research provides an effective method for the nondestructive characterization of nanomaterials.
