Recent development in composites containing phase-transforming particles, such as vanadium dioxide or barium titanate, reveals the overall stiffness and viscoelastic damping of the composites may be unbounded (Lakes et al. 2001, Jaglinski et al. 2007). Negative stiffness is induced from phase transformation predicted by the Landau phase transformation theory. Although this unbounded phenomenon is theoretically supported with the composite homogenization theory, detailed stress analyses of the composites are still lacking. In this work, we analyze the stress distribution of the Hashin-Shtrikman (HS) composite and its two-dimensional variant, namely a circular inclusion in a square plate, under the assumption that the Young's modulus of the inclusion is negative. Assumption of negative stiffness is a priori in the present analysis. For stress analysis, a closed form solution for the HS model and finite element solutions for the 2D composite are presented. A static loading condition is adopted to estimate the effective modulus of the composites by the ratio of stress to average strain on the loading edges. It is found that the interfacial stresses between the circular inclusion and matrix increase dramatically when the negative stiffness is so tuned that overall stiffness is unbounded. Furthermore, it is found that stress distributions in the inclusion are not uniform, contrary to Eshelby's theorem, which states, for two-phase, infinite composites, the inclusion's stress distribution is uniform when the shape of the inclusion has higher symmetry than an ellipse. The stability of the composites is discussed from the viewpoint of deterioration of perfect interface conditions due to excessive interfacial stresses.

Mixing is most important for developing an electric washer which transforms angular momentum from rotating solid wall to laundry clothes inside it. For magnification of this mixing effect, some inventions are introduced to washing machine system, i. e., washing plate, washing rod, and even for washing cap in a model of a Korean manufacture. However, the previous efforts show dissatisfaction up till now. In this paper, a triumph to enhance mixing effects to increase washing performance is presented and verified by numerical investigation. The present model to simulate a washing tub is the simple circular cylinder with two endwall disks which is completely filled with a viscous liquid. The present improvement is to change mounting position of a bottom disk of the model cylinder. Therefore, the aim of this work just proposes a new idea, which is numerically inspected, to a producer of washing machine, In detail, this invention is alternating the mounting position of a rotating bottom disk. Actually skewed pulsator is placed in steady of a flat disk, so the two endwall disks at top and bottom are not in parallel. The angle between an inclined bottom disk and the horizontal plane is fixed as 5 degree and physical domain to consider poses a sliced cylinder. Flow fields in both a right circular cylinder and the present improved model are fully depicted by numerical integration on a body fitted nonorthogonal regular uniform grid system. Numerical data to explain flow structure are plotted for understanding of the effects of the inclined disk. Also enhanced mixing effects by the inclined rotating disk are gauged by accurate numerical data used in this work.

The flow around free end of a finite circular cylinder (FC) embedded in an atmospheric boundary layer has been investigated experimentally. The experiments were carried out in a closed-return type subsonic wind tunnel with varying aspect ratio of the finite cylinder mounted vertically on a flat plate. The wakes behind a 2-D cylinder and a finite cylinder located in a uniform flow were measured for comparison. Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was about Re=20,000. A hot-wire anemometer was employed to measure the wake velocity and the mean pressure distributions on the cylinder surface were also measured. The flow past the FC free end shows a complicated three-dimensional wake structure and flow phenomenon is quite different from that of 2-D cylinder. The three-dimensional flow structure was attributed to the downwashing counter rotating vortices separated from the FC free end. As the FC aspect ratio decreases, the vortex shedding frequency decreases and the vortex formation length increases compared to that of 2-D cylinder. Due to the descending counter-rotating twin-vortex, near the FC free end, regular vortex shedding from the cylinder is suppressed and the vortex formation region is hardly distinguished. Around the center of the wake, the mean velocity for the FC located in atmospheric boundary layer has large velocity deficit compared to that of uniform flow.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트피복 원형충전강관 기둥을 적용한 합성구조 접합부의 거동특성과 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여, 기둥-플랜지 접합부에 대한 인장실험과 보-기둥 접합부에 대한 반복하중 실험을 수행하였다. 기둥-플랜지 인장실험은 피복콘크리트의 유무와 플랜지 폭, 인장철근 보강을 변수로 하여 5개의 실험체에 대하여 하중재하능력과 파괴모드를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 접합부에서의 플랜지 단부 폭을 200mm에서 350mm로 증가시킬 경우 연결부의 강도 및 강성이 각각 1.61배와 1.56배가 증가했고, 인장철근을 보강할 경우 추가적으로 강성과 강도가 각각 1.35배와 1.92배 증가했다. 접합부 반복하중 실험에서는 접합 상세를 변수로 3개의 외부접합부 실험체를 구성했다. 접합부 보강상세로는 인장철근 보강과 강관의 두께, 수직강판 보강을 고려하였다. 모든 접합부 실험체는 보에서 뚜렷한 휨항복이 발생하였으며 접합부의 손상은 제한적이었다. 특히, 강재보가 강관에 직접 용접되는 경우 보의 웨브를 통해서도 하중이 전달되기 때문에, 플랜지 인장실험 결과보다 보수적인 설계가 가능하며, 접합부 강관 두께를 증가시키거나 수직강판으로 보강한 경우에는 추가적으로 패널존의 전단내력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 고강도 철근을 확대머리 이형철근으로 사용하는 경우 정착길이 효과에 관한 실험 연구이다. 현행 기준에서는 확대머리 이형철근의 정착길이를 산정하는 식에서 철근의 설계기준강도를 400 MPa로 한정하고 있다. 고강도 철근에 대한 연구결과가 충분하지 않기 때문에 이러한 규정이 명시된 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 설계기준 항목강도 600 MPa의 철근으로 확대머리 이형철근을 제작하여, 변수별 실험연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 철근의 정착길이, 철근의 개수, 그리고 확대머리의 형상 등의 변수로 계획하였다. 실험체는 정착길이가 긴 L형과 정착길이가 짧은 S형으로 분류하고, 확대머리의 형상은 원판형(A형)과 원뿔형(B형)으로 구분하였다. L형 실험체는 원판형 확대머리를 대상으로 철근 개수가 1~3으로 변하는 3개의 실험체와 S형 실험체는 원판과 원뿔형 확대머리 형상에 대하여 정착길이를 L형의 50%, 45%, 40%, 35%로 변화한 실험체를 계획하였다. L형(LA형) 3개, SA형 4개, SB형 4개 등 총 11개의 실험체를 인발실험을 하였다. 실험결과는 콘크리트구조기준(부록 II)의 정착길이 산정 규정에 따라 평가하였으며, 그 결과 항복강도 600 MPa의 철근을 사용한 확대머리 이형철근은 현행기준의 설계식을 적용하여 설계할 수 있음을 보였다.

Spar platforms have several advantages for deploying wind turbines in offshore for depth beyond 120 m. The merit of spar platform is large range of topside payloads, favourable motions compared to other floating structures and minimum hull/deck interface. The main objective of this paper is to present the response analysis of the slack moored spar platform supporting 5MW wind turbine with bottom keel plates in regular and random waves, studied experimentally and numerically. A 1:100 scale model of the spar with sparD, sparCD and sparSD configuration was studied in the wave basin ($30{\times}30{\times}3m$) in Ocean engineering department in IIT Madras. In present study the effect of wind loading, blade dynamics and control, and tower elasticity are not considered. This paper presents the details of the studies carried out on a 16 m diameter and 100 m long spar buoy supporting a 90 m tall 5 MW wind turbine with 3600 kN weight of Nacelle and Rotor and 3500 kN weight of tower. The weight of the ballast and the draft of the spar are adjusted in such a way to keep the centre of gravity below the centre of buoyancy. The mooring lines are divided into four groups, each of which has four lines. The studies were carried out in regular and random waves. The operational significant wave height of 2.5 m and 10 s wave period and survival significant wave height of 6 m and 18 s wave period in 300 m water depth are considered. The wind speed corresponding to the operational wave height is about 22 knots and this wind speed is considered to be operating wind speed for turbines. The heave and surge accelerations at the top of spar platform were measured and are used for calculating the response. The geometric modeling of spar was carried out using Multisurf and this was directly exported to WAMIT for subsequent hydrodynamic and mooring system analysis. The numerical results were compared with experimental results and the comparison was found to be good. Parametric study was carried out to find out the effect of shape, size and spacing of keel plate and from the results obtained from present work ,it is recommended to use circular keel plate instead of square plate.

Recently, a problem related to the thermal management in portable electronic and telecommunication devices is becoming issued. That is due to the trend of slimness of the devices, so it is not easy to find the optimal thermal management technology for the devices. From now on, a pressed circular type cooling device has been mainly used, however the cooling device with thin thickness is becoming needed by the inner space constraint. In the present study, the silicon and metal flat plate type cooling device with the separated vapor and liquid flow path was designed and fabricated. Through the experimental study, the normal isothermal characteristic by vapor-liquid phase change was confirmed and the cooling device with 70mm of total length showed 6.8W of the heat transfer rate within the range of $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$/W of thermal resistance. In the meantime, the metal cooling device was developed for commercialization. The device was designed to have all structures of evaporator, vapor flow path, liquid flow path and condenser in one plate. And an envelope of that could be completed by combining the two plates of same structure and size. And the simplicity of fabrication process and reduction of manufacturing cost could be accomplished by using the stamping technology for fabricating large flow paths relatively. In the future, it will be possible to develop the commercialized cooling device by revising the fabrication process and enhancing the thermal performance of that.

Openings in steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are usually used for decorative designs, crossing locations of multiple utilities and/or structural objectives. However, earlier studies showed that generating an opening in an SPSW has a negative effect on the cyclic performance of the SPSW. Therefore, this study proposes tripling or doubling the steel-sheet-plate (SSP) layer and stiffening the opening of the SPSW to provide a solution to undesirable opening effects, improve the SPSW performance and provide the infill option of potential strengthening measures after the construction stage. The study aims to investigate the impact of SSP doubling with a stiffened opening on the cyclic behaviour, expand the essential data required by structural designers and quantify the SPSW performance factors. Validated numerical models were adopted to identify the influence of the chosen parameters on the cyclic capacity, energy dissipation, ductility, seismic performance factors (SPF) and stiffness of the suggested method. A finite Element (FE) analysis was performed via Abaqus/CAE software on half-scale single-story models of SPSWs exposed to cyclic loading. The key parameters included the number of SSP layers, the opening size ratios corresponding to the net width of the SSP, and the opening shape. The findings showed that the proposed assembly method found a negligible influence in the shear capacity with opening sizes of 10, 15, 20%. However, a deterioration in the wall strength was observed for openings with sizes of 25% and 30%. The circular opening is preferable compared with the square opening. Moreover, for all the models, the average value of the obtained ductility did not show substantial changes and the ultimate shear resistance was achieved after reaching a drift ratio of 4.36%. Additionally, the equivalent sectional area of the SSP in the twin and triple configuration of the SPSWs demonstrated approximately similar results. Compared with the single SSP layer, the proposed configuration of the twin SSP layer with a stiffened opening suggest to more sufficiency create SSP openings in the SPSW compared to that of other configurations. Finally, a tabular SPF quantification is exhibited for SPSWs with openings.

태양광 모듈의 과열을 방지하여 효율을 향상시키기 위해 스털링기관을 이용한 새로운 공랭식 냉각 시스템을 개발하였다. 베타 타입 스털링기관에 냉각팬을 연결하고 태양광 모듈의 뒷면에 반원형의 에어가이드를 부착함으로써 스털링기관 작동에 의해 발생된 강제대류가 에어가이드를 따라 이동하면서 태양광 모듈의 후면을 냉각하는 방식이다. 할로겐 조명을 활용한 하절기 모사 성능 평가 실험 결과 본 연구를 통해 개발된 새로운 냉각시스템을 적용할 경우 태양광 모듈의 온도가 냉각을 적용하지 않은 경우에 비해 약 $12^{\circ}C$ 낮아지고 출력 전압은 약 25% 향상되었다.
