  • The elimination and erosion of cohesive sediments in port and reservoir water can so far be processed only with mechanical evacuation methods under extreme energy expenditure. The so-called flushing jets do not serve the purpose because they cannot set the material spaciously in motion despite high shear stresses at the bed. Therefore this study aims to examine the resuspension of the deposited fine material($Al_{2}O_3$) under presence of gas bubbles in order to decreased cohesive sediments in multipurpose dam, port and lakes. In the case of laboratory trial important parameters considered are supplied amount of air and the consolidation time of the solid materials. With increasing gas content alumina remains in suspension at high pH values in the laboratory test, where the particles fall mote rapidly without air addition.

  • This study consists of an analysis of pre-existing ceiling construction systems as well as the development of a replacement unitary, lightweight steel ceiling system and related legal standards. Based on the material conditions and progression of the study, appropriate components were chosen and details were modified by mock-up test. A final study model was evaluated for performance and adaptability based on four parameters (indoor environment, constructability, budget economy, and aesthetics) and compared to the pre-existing ceiling system. As a result of the initial study, a lightweight steel design was created consisting of a reinforced structure with modular bars and entry holes for components. This system was hung directly on the suspension structure. The new design increased lighting and acoustic performance adapted to an indoor environment. Moreover, the speed of construction was increased by approximately 30%, the cost was decreased by approximately 20%, and ceiling aesthetics were improved.

  • The aviation industry has continued to grow despite the influence of external environmental factors such as SARS and MERS. However, this growth has led to a sharp decrease in air traffic and a crisis of flight suspension due to the collapse of the global value chain and the decline of the world economy as the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the decrease in the number of international flights, aviation workers such as pilots and cabin crew were exposed to high psychological stress and fatigue, such as large-scale layoffs, job instability, decrease in income, and increased risk of infection during. Recently, the international community has eased immigration restrictions through quarantine activities, and airlines are taking a step further to recover existing air demand. However, during the crisis period, a significant number of professional workers have been turned off or fired, and the physical and mental fatigue of those who can perform their duties is increasing. Therefore, this paper intends to examine the direction of policy improvement and the identification of problems in aviation safety and fatigue management after the pandemic.

  • The traditional safety management method starts with the misconception that similar accidents will recur if the inappropriate behavior of the person who caused the accident is investigated and punishment is not judged. However, in modern safety management, incidents or situations occur when negative conditions latent in the system are mutually influenced and triggered. The precedent for revoking the disposition of suspension of first officer A of Eastar Jet, which won a legal lawsuit against the administrative regulatory authority, is a representative example that will serve as an opportunity for the administrative regulatory authority to break away from the punishment-oriented safety management method of the past. On the other hand, airmans and air carriers also need to have a clear understanding of flight regulations, and when judicial judgment is required, predictable and effective legal effects can be obtained by preparing clear standards for flight regulations. In addition, administrative regulatory authorities expect a change from the punishment-oriented safety management policy of the past to a systematic safety management policy.

  • Much research into two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal (PC) structures has been conducted for realization of ultrasmall optical integrated circuits. A 2-D silicon (Si) PC slab structure with air cladding (n=1) is one of the representative structures in 2-D PCs. While air-clad Si PC slab structures have good optical characteristics, their suspension in air can lead to mechanical weakness, making integration with some optical devices difficult. In this paper, we propose improving the mechanical robustness of PC structure by developing a 2-D Si PC structure with symmetric silica cladding (n=1.44) and comparing its optical properties to that of the air-clad structure. First, we investigate the optical properties of a 2-D Si PC slab structure with air cladding by using a 3-D finite difference time domain method. We determined that a photonic bandgap of 330 nm and a non-leaky propagating bandwidth of 100 nm in the optical communication range are possible. Next, we investigate the optical properties of 2-D Si PC slab structures with silica cladding. Even though the refractive index of the silica cladding is higher than that of air, we developed a silica-clad structure with good optical properties: a photonic band gap of approximately 230 nm and a non-leaky propagating bandwidth of 90 nm, comparable to that of the air-clad PC structures.

  • As a secondary suspension, the air spring has not good lateral stiffness characteristics. In order to make up for this weak point, lateral damper is used between bogie and carbody. The lateral vibration of carbody can be reduced by the lateral damper. When the damping force of lateral damper becomes worse, the running stability and ride comfort of the railway vehicle go down. Simultaneously the lateral motion of carbody is increased. In this study, the lateral displacement of carbody was studied by the multibody dynamic analysis in accordance with lateral damping force to find the cause of abnormal noise(impact noise) when the vehicle is running. The suitable lateral damping force was reviewed in order not to generate abnormal noise.

  • This study aims to investigate dynamic interaction characteristics between Maglev train and 3 span continuous guideway. The integrated model including a 3D full vehicle model based on multibody dynamics, flexible guideway by a modal superposition method, and levitation electromagnets with the feedback controller is proposed. The proposed model was applied to the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway to analyze the dynamic response of the vehicle and guideway from the numerical simulation. Using field test data of air gap and guideway deflections, obtained from the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway, the analysis method is verified. From the results, it is confirmed that Maglev railway system are designed and constructed safely according to the design criteria.

  • 본 논문에서는 자속 궤환을 포함하는 자기부상 시스템의 open-loop 특성에 대해서 다룬다. 훌륭한 외란 억제 특성을 포함하고 파라메타 변동에 대해서 둔감한 제어기를 설계하기 위해서 자속 궤환을 이용하는 것이 효과적일 수 있다. 적절한 센서에 의해서 측정 가능한 자속은 전류와 공극의 시간 변화에 대해서 선형적인 관계를 가지고 있으며, 자속의 궤한은 자기 부상시스템이 본질적으로 갖고 있는 전기적 엑츄에이터와 기계적 플랜트 사이의 간섭에 의해서 발생하는 비선형성을 감소시키는 역할을 한다. 모의시험 결과를 통해서 자속의 궤환이 자기부상 시스템의 부하변동에 대해서 open-loop 성능 향상에 효과적임을 보인다.

  • Dense oxygen ionic conducting materials can be used for oxygen separation membranes at high temperatures. However, they show relatively low permeation flux because of their large resistances. To reduce resistances and improve the oxygen permeation flux, thin dense yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ)/Pd composite dual-phase membranes were fabricated by a new approach that combines the reservoir method and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A thin porous YSZ layer was coated on a porous alumina support by dip-coating the YSZ suspension. A continuous Pd phase was formed inside pores of the YSZ layer by the reservoir method. The residual pores of the YSZ/Pd layer were plugged with yttria/zirconia by CVD to ensure the gas tightness of the membranes. The oxygen permeation fluxes through these composite membrane were 2.0$\times$10$^{-8}$ mol/cm$^2$.s and 4.8$\times$10$^{-8}$ mol/cm$^2$.s at 105$0^{\circ}C$ when air and oxygen were used as the permeate gases, respectively. These oxygen permeation values are about 1 order of magnitude higher than those of pure YSZ membranes prepared under similar conditions.
