Spacing factor proposed by Power is a concept of averaging air void spacing composed of geometric models. Thus, there's a limitation on simulating actual air void characteristics in concrete. This study presents SDI(spacing distribution index) to overcome the limitation of spacing factor. SDI is also evaluated through comparing SDI with SF(spacing factor). In this study, it was confirmed that SF decreased due to increasing air-entrainer content but SDI increased. This occurs because SDI is the area of spacing distribution curve and SDI increases with increasing the frequency of spacing. SDI is evaluated to have better coverage below $300{\mu}m$ of SF so that determination of critical point of SDI above 80% of durability index can be easily obtained with more reliability. SDI is the area of spacing distribution curve and reflects actual air void characteristics in concrete. A comparative study of SDI and results of freeze-thaw test will be performed later.

농업과 환경분야에서 토양 상태를 신속하고 주기적으로 모니터링하는 것에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 토양의 특성을 측정하는 기존의 화학분석 방식은 분석의 정밀도, 시료의 수, 분석항목 등에 따라 시간, 인력, 비용적 소모가 커진다. 최근에는 식품, 농업, 환경 분야에서 신속하고 비파괴적 분석 방법으로 가시 근적외선 분광학을 도입하고 있다. 가시 근적외선 영역(VNIR, 400-2400 nm)에는 다양한 물질의 고유한 흡수분광형태가 존재한다는 이론적 토대로부터 물질의 정성 정량적 분석이 가능하다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 VNIR 분광 스펙트럼으로부터 Al, organic carbon (OC), clay, silt, sand, CEC (Cation exchange capacity), CEC/clay 등의 토양 특성을 정량하고자 하였다. 농경지에서 채취한 94개 토양시료를 기존의 화학분석 방법으로 분석하고 실내에서 VNIR 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 스펙트럼은 원시형태와, 1차, 2차 도함수로 변환된 형태 모두 partial least square regression (PLSR) 모델에 적용하였다. PLSR에 의한 토양특성 추정식은 RMSE, $R^2$, SDE, RPD 값을 이용하여 검증하였다. Al, OC, silt, sand 함량에 대해서는 통계적으로 유의한 수준의 추정값을 산출하였고, clay와 CEC/clay에 대해 추정한 값은 실측값과 약한 상관성을 나타내었다. 이러한 분광학적인 추정 기법은 영상을 이용한 정성 정량분석에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A cyclone separator has been widely used in various industrial processes for removing fine particulate matter because it is easy to fabricate, cost effective, and adaptable to extremely harsh conditions. However, owing to the complex flow field in cyclones, a complete understanding of the detailed mechanisms of particulate removal has not yet been gained. In this study, a theoretical analysis was performed for calculating the collection efficiency and cut-off size in cyclones by taking into account the effects of geometrical and flow parameters. The collection efficiency and cut-off size values predicted by the theoretical model showed good agreement with experimental measurements for particles with a diameter of $0.5-30{\mu}m$. It was also revealed that the surface friction, along with the flow and geometrical parameters, has a significant effect on the cyclone performance.

하천 합류부에서 수체의 흐름은 매우 역동적으로 변화하며 합류부의 복잡한 3차원 흐름과 난류 구조는 2차류(secondary currents)의 강도변화, 전단층(shear layer)의 뒤틀림 그리고 재순환구역(recirculation zone)의 발생 등 합류부에서의 독특한 특징을 형성한다. 이러한 특징들의 변화는 수체의 흐름구조 뿐만 아니라 하천으로 유입된 오염물의 거동에도 영향을 준다. 기존의 합류부 연구들은 주로 본류와 지류의 합류각이나 유량비에 차이를 두어 합류부의 특징 변화를 모의하였다. 하지만 실제 자연하천에서 홍수방지를 위한 수심확보, 건축자재의 골재수집 등 다양한 목적으로 수행되는 본류의 준설작업으로 인해 발생하는 본류와 지류의 하상면 단차 또한 합류부의 특성에 영향을 미치는 주요한 인자 중 하나이다. 단차가 커짐에 따라 증가하는 지류수체의 낙차는 이차류의 강화를 야기하며 이는 합류부에서의 유속구조를 변화시켜 흐름을 가속시키거나 지체시키며 오염물의 혼합에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치모의를 통해 90도로 합류되는 수로에서의 흐름구조와 오염물의 혼합에 단차비와 유량비가 미치는 영향을 모의하였다. 유동장 해석을 위해 3차원 RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stoke) 방정식을 사용하였으며 난류해석은 k-𝜔 SST 모델을 이용하였다. 본류의 경우 11.4m의 수로 연장을 갖고, 하폭은 0.3m이며 수심은 단차의 크기에 따라 변화한다. 지류의 경우는 수로연장 1m, 하폭 및 수로깊이는 0.1m이다. 수치결과의 검증을 위해 이주하(2013)이 수행한 실내 합류수로의 실험결과를 이용하였다. 모의결과를 통해 파악한 합류부의 흐름특성을 이용하여 적절한 2차원 분산계수를 산정한다. 자연하천에서 오염물의 혼합거동을 효과적으로 모의하기 위해 수심 평균된 2차원 이송-분산모형을 이용하는데 이때 적절한 분산계수의 산정이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 합류 후 흐름방향에 따라 분산특성이 상이한 구간을 구분하여 분산계수를 산정하였으며 이를 통해 오염물의 거동을 정확하게 모의하였다.

In this study, the piezoresistive properties of cementitious composites enhanced with carbon nanotubes for improved electrical conductivity were analyzed using a deep learning-based transformer algorithm. Experimental execution was performed in parallel for acquisition of training data. Previous studies on mixture design, specimen fabrication, chemical composition analysis, and piezoresistive performance testing are also reviewed in this paper. Notably, specimens in which fly ash substituted 50% of the binder material were fabricated and evaluated in this study, in addition to carbon nanotube-infused specimens, thereby exploring the potential enhancement of piezoresistive characteristics in conductive cementitious materials. The experimental results showed more stable piezoresistive responses in specimens with fly-ash substituted binder. The transformer model was trained using 80% of the gathered data, with the remaining 20% employed for validation. The analytical outcomes were generally consistent with empirical measurements, yielding an average absolute error and root mean square error between 0.069 to 0.074 and 0.124 to 0.132, respectively.

Recently, the application of distributed acoustic sensors (DAS), which can replace geophones and seismometers, has significantly increased along with interest in micro-seismic monitoring technique, which is one of the CO₂ storage monitoring techniques. A significant amount of temporally and spatially continuous data is recorded in a DAS monitoring system, thereby necessitating fast and accurate data processing techniques. Because event detection and seismic phase picking are the most basic data processing techniques, they should be performed on all data. In this study, a machine learning-based P, S wave phase picking algorithm was developed to compensate for the limitations of conventional phase picking algorithms, and it was modified using a transfer learning technique for the application of DAS data consisting of a single component with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Our model was constructed by modifying the convolution-based EQTransformer, which performs well in phase picking, to the ResUNet structure. Not only the global earthquake dataset, STEAD but also the augmented dataset was used as training datasets to enhance the prediction performance on the unseen characteristics of the target dataset. The performance of the developed algorithm was verified using K-net and KiK-net data with characteristics different from the training data. Additionally, after modifying the trained model to suit DAS data using the transfer learning technique, the performance was verified by applying it to the DAS field data measured in the Pohang Janggi basin.

Electric Vehicle (EV) can be categorized by the driving method into in-wheel and in-line types. In-wheel type EV does not have transmission shaft, differential gear and other parts that are used in conventional cars, which simplifies and lightens the structure resulting in higher efficiency. In this paper, design method for in-wheel motor for automobiles using Parameter Map is proposed, and motor with continuous power of 5 kW is designed, built and its performance is verified. To decide the capacity of the in-wheel motor that meets the automobile's requirement, Vehicle Dynamic Simulation considering the total mass of vehicle, gear efficiency, effective radius of tire, slope ratio and others is performed. Through this step, the motor's capacity is decided and initial design to determine the motor shape and size is performed. Next, the motor parameters that meet the requirement is determined using parametric design that uses parametric map. After the motor parameters are decided using parametric map, optimal design to improve THD of back EMF, cogging torque, torque ripple and other factors is performed. The final design was built, and performance analysis and verification of the proposed method is conducted by performing load test.

A full scale hydrodynamic simulation that requires an accurate reproduction of shock-induced detonation was conducted for design of an energetic component system. A detailed hydrodynamic analysis SW was developed to validate the reactive flow model for predicting the shock propagation in a train configuration and to quantify the shock sensitivity of the energetic materials. The pyrotechnic device is composed of four main components, namely a donor unit (HNS+HMX), a bulkhead (STS), an acceptor explosive (RDX), and a propellant (BPN) for gas generation. The pressurized gases generated from the burning propellant were purged into a 10 cc release chamber for study of the inherent oscillatory flow induced by the interferences between shock and rarefaction waves. The pressure fluctuations measured from experiment and calculation were investigated to further validate the peculiar peak at specific characteristic frequency (${\omega}_c=8.3kHz$). In this paper, a step-by-step numerical description of detonation of high explosive components, deflagration of propellant component, and deformation of metal component is given in order to facilitate the proper implementation of the outlined formulation into a shock physics code for a full scale hydrodynamic simulation of the energetic component system.

The payload BioCabinet of CAS500-3 is designed for 3D stem cell differentiation, culture, and analysis utilizing bio 3D printing techniques in space. The 3D printing technique was initially developed for orbital use; however, it lacks separate validation for extreme launch vibration environments, necessitating a design that mitigates the launch load on the payload. This paper proposes a passive vibration isolator with a low-stiffness elastic support structure and high damping characteristics to reduce the launch loads affecting the BioCabinet. We explore the high-damping characteristics through the superelastic effects of SMA (Shape Memory Alloys) and a multi-layered structure incorporating viscoelastic tape. The effectiveness of the proposed vibration isolation system was confirmed via launch vibration tests on a qualification model.
