Light gas guns have a large number of applications in various fields of engineering. A two-stage light-gas gun can produce an extremely high pressure in a very short interval of time. In general, the two-stage light-gas gun is made up of a high pressure tube, a compression tube and a launch tube, each stage being separated by diaphragms. This can be employed efficiently in the application of ultra-high pressure liquid jets. In the present study, experiments are carried out to investigate the projectile velocity and pressure behavior in the tubes according to the pressure changes at the frist diaphragm opening. In the present study result was found that the rupture pressure of the first diaphragm has a dominant influence on piston acceleration.

국내외 발생하는 재난 중 70% 이상이 물과 관련된 재해로 분류되며, 집중호우와 태풍으로 인한 하천범람 및 내수침수 등으로 많은 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 특히 최근 발생하는 피해 양상은 과거에 발생하지 않았던 극한 강우로 인해 돌발적으로 발생하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있어 이에 따라 사전에 예측하여 미리 대비하는 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템의 구축 여부는 정확한 하천 흐름 예측을 필요로 한다. 하지만 하천의 흐름은 댐붕괴, 제방붕괴, 하천 하상의 변동 등 다양한 상황에서 급격한 흐름의 변동이 발생하며, 이는 하천 흐름 예측에 장애물로 작용하여 정확도를 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 특히 국내에는 산악지형과 수공구조물에 의한 불연속 단면이 다수 존재하고 있어 그 예측 결과에 대한 정확성에 대한 요구가 더욱 부각되고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 해당 문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 기법들이 개발되어 실무에 적용되고 있으나 어떤 기법이 국내 하천특성에 적합한지 파악할 수 없으며, 그 정확성과 안정성에 측면에서 여전히 많은 문제점을 가지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 불연속 흐름이 빈번하게 발생하는 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 확인하고자 유량보존특성을 만족하는 유한체적기법 중 국내외적으로 다수 사용되었던 기법들을 비교 및 평가하였다. 불연속 흐름의 대표적인 예제로서 'Dam-break problem'과 충격파 해석 및 홍수기와 갈수기에 따른 하천 하상의 마름/젖음에 대한 평가를 할 수 있는 Toro's Riemann problems에 적용하여 비교하였으며 그 결과 값을 정량적인 수치로 나타내었다. 이를 통해 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 선정하였으며. 향후 국내하천 환경을 만족할 뿐만 아니라 하천 종사자들의 요구에도 부합한 하천흐름해석 모형의 개발 시 많은 기여가 될 것이라 판단된다.

This paper presents results of dynamic analysis for a bridge in intersection part of two tunnels subjected to moving vehicle load. Since such a bridge system is very unusual due to the fact that it is located in tunnel, the dynamic characteristics of the structure can not be assumed as conventional one. The structure investigated in this study it a reinforced concrete bridge in the intersection part of Namsan Tunnel-1 and Tunnel-2 in Seoul. It is supported by temporary steel structure which shall be constructed during the period of replacing lining in Tunnel-2. Dynamic analysis was carried out for the system using a finite element model constructed by general purpose FE program SAP2000. For this purpose, the structure, lining of tunnels, and surrounding rock were represented by finite elements, while the rock region it truncated and on its outer boundary viscous dampers were placed to simulate radiation of elastic waves generated tunnels. Several types of vehicle with various driving velocities were considered in this analysis. The FE model including vehicle loadings was verified by comparing calculated peak particle velocity with the measured one. From the analysis, the impart factor for the bridge was estimated as 0.21, which indicates that the use of upper bound for the impact factor in design code is reasonable for this kind of bridge system.

When an impact stress is applied on the external boundary of double cantilever beam of orthotropic material which crack length is greater than specimen hight and anistropic ratio is very high, dyna mic energy release rate is derived, and the relationship between dynamic energy release rate and crack propagating velocity is studied. Dynamic energy release rate to static energy release rate is decreased with increasment of crack propagating velocity. The relationships between dynamic energy release rate and vertical strain have a similar pattern with those between static energy release rate and vertical strain. When normalized time(Cstla) is greater than or equal to 2, dynamic energy release rate approaches to a constant value.

This is a study on application of a TVD-Mccormack scheme for the computation of one-dimensional dam-break flows. The TVD scheme not only has the ability to damp out oscillations, but also does not contain terms with adjustable parameters. Moreover, the TVD-McCormack scheme does not cause any additional difficulty when dealing with the source term of the equation and retains second-order accuracy in both space and time. In this study, by appropriately designing the limiter functions, the TVD property can be achieved, and numerical oscillations near a jump discontinuities can be eliminated or reduced. Also, this numerical scheme has less computational errors when the direction of the predictor-corrector step is in the same direction as the shock wane propagation.

We have developed a laser-based needle-free liquid drug-injection device. A laser beam is focused inside the liquid contained in the rubber chamber of a micro-scale. The focused laser beam causes explosive bubble growth, and the sudden volume increase in a sealed chamber drives a microjet of liquid drug through the micronozzle. The exit diameter of a nozzle is less than 100 ${\mu}m$, and we verify that the injected microjet is fast enough to penetrate soft human tissue. In the experiment, the microjet penetrated a 5% gelatin-water solution that replicates the human thrombus and pork-fat tissue.

This paper presents a supercompact multi-wavelet scheme and its application to fluid simulation data. The supercompact wavelet method is an appropriate wavelet for fluid simulation data in the sense that it can provide compact support and avoid unnecessary interaction with remotely located data (e.g. across a shock discontinuity or vortices). thresholding for data compression is applied based on a covariance vector structure of multi-wavelets. The extension of this scheme to three dimensions is analyzed. The numerical tests demonstrate that it can allow various analytic advantages as well as large data compression ratios in actual practice.

In this study, one type of ramjet intake were designed for the flight condition of Mach number 4 and numerical analysis was performed. In order to widen the flight envelope range (Mach number $2{\sim}6$), movable intake concept was applied. The central body was designed so that the capture area ratio which is one of most important factors of ramjet intake design could be adjusted. And various types of cowl and movable insert part of shell were designed in order to control throat area which could increase total pressure recovery. The numerical results showed that the designed ramjet intake could be applied in various flights Mach number.

A new concept of a small thruster for altitude control of a micro/nano class satellite is developed, which utilizes the pulsed laser energy. As the laser-based thruster does not require burning of any fuel, it gives promise of small satellite design criteria, namely light weight and cost effectiveness. In this paper, we develop gel-type material for generating strong plasma plume for enhancing thrust for propulsion. Moreover, we quantify the level of thrust via the momentum coupling coefficient measured by the pendulum system. We discover that the driving force is significantly improved via the gel-typed propellant for laser ablation.

The computer program, MFPD, which is used to backcalculate the layer moduli of asphalt concrete pavement system is modified by contemplating the depth to virtual bedrock in this study. An algorithm to estimate the depth to virtual bedrock is developed through the analysis of FWD impulse load duration and the compression wave velocity of ground. For verification of the modified MFPD, FWD is fabricated and then FWD field tests and verification tests are carried out at the test sites. Plate loading tests and surface wave propagation tests are performed at FWD test sites. Laboratory tests (Marshall stability tests, unconfined compression tests) for sampled asphalt concrete specimens are also carried out. From comparison analysis, the validity and applicability of the modified MFPD are verified.
