We prepared polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) beads with a particle size of 80 nm to improve the energy conversion efficiency (ECE) by increasing the effective surface area and the dye absorption ability of the working electrodes (WEs) in a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). We prepared the $TiO_2$ layer with PMMA beads of 0.0~1.0 wt%; then, finally, a DSSC with $0.45cm^2$ active area was obtained. Optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the microstructure of the $TiO_2$ layer with PMMA. UV-VIS-NIR was used to determine the optical absorbance of the WEs with PMMA. A solar simulator and a potentiostat were used to determine the photovoltaic properties of the PMMA-added DSSC. Analysis of the microstructure showed that pores of 200 nm were formed by the decomposition of PMMA. Also, root mean square values linearly increased as more PMMA was added. The absorbance in the visible light regime was found to increase as the degree of PMMA dispersion increased. The ECE increased from 4.91% to 5.35% when the amount of PMMA beads added was increased from 0.0 to 0.4 wt%. However, the ECE decreased when more than 0.6 wt% of PMMA was added. Thus, adding a proper amount of PMMA to the $TiO_2$ layer was determined to be an effective method for improving the ECE of a DSSC.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid) (PAM) were prepared to investigate the effect of aging on their morphology by swelling them for up to 7 days. PAM was used both as a crosslinking agent and as a donor of the hydrophilic-COOH group. A $30 wt\%$ weight loss of the dry membrane was observed in the swelling test after 6 days. The surface of the membrane was dramatically changed after the swelling test. The surface roughness of the PVA/PAM membrane was increased, as determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The swelling loosened the polymer structure, due to the release of the unreacted polymer and the decomposition of the ester bond, thereby resulting in an increase in the free volume capable of containing water molecules. The water molecules present in the form of free water were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The fraction of free water increased with increasing swelling time. The swelling of the membrane may provide space for the transport of protons and increase the mobility of the protonic charge carriers. The proton conductivity of the membranes measured at T= 30 and $50^{\circ}C$ was in the range of $10^{-3} to 10^{-2} S/cm$, and slightly increased with increasing swelling time and temperature.

A methodology for the seismic vulnerability assessment of historical monuments is presented in this paper. The ongoing work has been conducted in Tunisia within the framework of the FP6 European Union project (WIND-CHIME) on the use of appropriate modern seismic protective systems in the conservation of Mediterranean historical buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The case study is the five-century-old Zaouia of Sidi Kassem Djilizi, located downtown Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. Ambient vibration tests were conducted on the case study using a number of force-balance accelerometers placed at selected locations. The Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD) technique was applied to extract the dynamic characteristics of the monument. A 3-D finite element model was developed and updated to obtain reasonable correlation between experimental and numerical modal properties. The set of parameters selected for the updating consists of the modulus of elasticity in each wall element of the finite element model. Seismic vulnerability assessment of the case study was carried out via three-dimensional time-history dynamic analyses of the structure. Dynamic stresses were computed and damage was evaluated according to a masonry specific plane failure criterion. Statistics on the occurrence, location and type of failure provide a general view for the probable damage level and mode. Results indicate a high vulnerability that confirms the need for intervention and retrofit.

보행하중을 받는 바닥판 구조물의 진동해석을 위해서 일반적으로 계측한 보행하중을 적용하거나 Bachmann의 보행하중식을 사용하게 된다. 다양한 매개변수의 영향을 받는 보행하중은 계측이 쉽지 않으며 Bachmann 보행하중식은 보행진동수가 2.OHz와 2.4Hz로 제한적이기 때문에 다양한 보행진동수에 따른 보행하중을 적용하기가 곤란하다. 따라서 보행하중을 받는 구조물의 진동해석을 위해서 보행하중의 매개변수 분석과 다양한 보행진동수에 적용이 가능한 보행하중의 모형화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 로드셀이 장착된 계측 플레이트를 이용하여 바닥판에 가해지는 보행하중을 직접 계측하고 매개변수를 분석하였다. 그리고 퓨리에 변환을 이용하여 계측한 보행하중을 다양한 진동수를 가지는 조화하중으로 분해하였다. 분해과정을 거쳐 얻은 조화하중의 계수들을 보행진동수에 대한 일정한 함수관계로 유도하여 보행하중을 모형화하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 보행하중식을 이용하면 다양한 보행진동수에 따라 다르게 나타나는 보행하중을 구조물의 진동해석에 용이하게 적용할 수 있다.

A two-frame PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) technique is used to investigate the wake characteristics behind a marine propeller with 4 blades at high Reynolds number. For each of 9 different blade phases from $ 0^{\circ} $ to $ 80^{\circ} $, one hundred and fifty instantaneous velocity fields are measured. They are ensemble averaged to study the spatial evolution of the propeller wake in the region ranging from the trailing edge to one propeller diameter (D) downstream location. The phase-averaged mean velocity shows that the trailing vorticity is related to radial velocity jump, and the viscous wake is affected by boundary layers developed on the blade surfaces and centrifugal force. Both Galilean decomposition method and vortex identification method using swirling strength calculation are very useful for the study of vortex behaviors En the propeller wake legion. The slipstream contraction occurs in the near-wake region up to about X/D : 0.53 downstream. Thereafter, unstable oscillation occurs because of the reduction of interaction between the tip vortex and the wake sheet behind the maximum contraction point.

The Canton Tower is a high-rise slender structure with a height of 610 m. A structural health monitoring system has been instrumented on the structure, by which data is continuously monitored. This paper presents an investigation on the identified modal properties of the Canton Tower using ambient vibration data collected during a whole day (24 hours). A recently developed Fast Bayesian FFT method is utilized for operational modal analysis on the basis of the measured acceleration data. The approach views modal identification as an inference problem where probability is used as a measure for the relative plausibility of outcomes given a model of the structure and measured data. Focusing on the first several modes, the modal properties of this supertall slender structure are identified on non-overlapping time windows during the whole day under normal wind speed. With the identified modal parameters and the associated posterior uncertainty, the distribution of the modal parameters in the future is predicted and assessed. By defining the modal root-mean-square value in terms of the power spectral density of modal force identified, the identified natural frequencies and damping ratios versus the vibration amplitude are investigated with the associated posterior uncertainty considered. Meanwhile, the correlations between modal parameters and temperature, modal parameters and wind speed are studied. For comparison purpose, the frequency domain decomposition (FDD) method is also utilized to identify the modal parameters. The identified results obtained by the Bayesian method, the FDD method and a finite element model are compared and discussed.

본 논문에서는 비압축성 Newtonian 점성유동에서 초기에 순간 출발하는 2차원 실린더 주위의 유동을 해석하기 위해서, 와도를 기저로 한 수치해석기법을 제안하고 있다. Helmholtz 분리 형태로 표현된 Navier-Stokes방정식에서 유도되는 와도전달방정식과 압력방정식, 그리고 벡터등식에서 유도되는 속도-와도 관계식을 이 문제의 지배방정식으로 택하고, 경계조건으로는 물체표면에서 와도와 압력의 연성관계와 힘의 평형을 고려한 동적와도경계조건과 동적압력조건이 제시된다. 이 지배방정식과 경계조건을 수치적으로 처리하기 위하여, 와도와 압력이 연성되어 있는 경계조건은 Wu등(1994)이 제안한 대로, 연성관계를 유지한 채로 식을 분리하는 방법을 이용하였고, 와도전달 방정식은 유한체적법으로 계산하였으며, 그 식에 포함된 대류항을 처리하는 방법으로 TVD 방법을 이용하였다. 속도는 Biot-Savart적분항이 포함된 벡터등식에서 panel방법으로 구하고, 압력방정식은 형태가 Poisson방정식이므로 역시 panel방법을 이용하였다. 계산에 사용된 격자로 정규격자를 이용하고, 결과를 다른 수치적, 해석적 결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

The initial NiCuZn synthetic ferrite were acquired from thermally decomposing the metal nitrates $Fe(NO_3)_39H_2O, Zn(NO_3)_26H_2O, Ni(NO_3)_26H_2O, and Cu(NO_3)_23H_2O$ at $150^circ{C}$ for 24 hours, and then we calcined the synthetic powder at $500^circ{C}$, pulverized each of those for 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 hours in a steel ball mill, sintered each at $700^circ{C}$ to $1,000^circ{C}$ for 1 hour, and thus studied their microstructures and electromagnetic properties. We could make the initial specimens chemically bonded in liquidity at a low-temperature $150^circ{C}$, by using the low melting points less than $200^circ{C}$ of the metal nitrates instead of the mechanical ball-mill pulverization, then narrow a distance between the particles into a molecular one, and thus lower the reaction point of sintering by at least $200^circ{C}$ to $300^circ{C}$. Their initial permeability was 50 to 400 and their maximum magnetic induction density and coercive force, 2,400 G and 0.3 Oe to 0.5 Oe respectively, which was similar to those of NiZnCu ferrite synthesized in the conventional process. In the graph of initial permeability by frequencies, a $180^circ{C}$ rotation of the magnetic domains which appears in a broad band of micro-wave before and after the resonance frequency, could be perceived.

Stayed cables are the key components for transmitting loads in cable-stayed bridges. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the cable force condition to ensure bridge safety. An online condition assessment and anomaly localization method is proposed for cables based on the spatiotemporal correlation of grouped cable forces. First, an anomaly sensitive feature index is obtained based on the distribution characteristics of grouped cable forces. Second, an adaptive anomaly detection method based on the k-nearest neighbor rule is used to perform dissimilarity measurements on the extracted feature index, and such a method can effectively remove the interference of environment factors and vehicle loads on online condition assessment of the grouped cable forces. Furthermore, an online anomaly isolation and localization method for stay cables is established, and the complete decomposition contributions method is used to decompose the feature matrix of the grouped cable forces and build an anomaly isolation index. Finally, case studies were carried out to validate the proposed method using an in-service cable-stayed bridge equipped with a structural health monitoring system. The results show that the proposed approach is sensitive to the abnormal distribution of grouped cable forces and is robust to the influence of interference factors. In addition, the proposed approach can also localize the cables with abnormal cable forces online, which can be successfully applied to the field monitoring of cables for cable-stayed bridges.

이상에서 본 연구는 1960년 이후부터 1985년까지의 인구규모와 그 변동의 특질을 농촌에서 도시로의 인구이동현상과 관련하여 검토해 보았다. 아울러 분해시계열방법을 이용하여 농촌인구유출과 농정과의 관계도 고찰하였다. 그리고 적정모델을 추정하여 2,000년까지의 농촌 및 농가인구도 예측해 보았다. 결론적으로 말해서 인구구조의 변화측면에서 농촌인구와 농가인구는 1965년부터 감소하기 시작하여 1975년 이후부터 급격히 감소하였다. 농촌인구의 급격한 감소는 농촌 인구의 자연감소로 인한 요인보다는 도시로 유출되는 인구이동의 요인이 더 크게 작용한 것으로 나타났다. 농촌에서 도시로의 인구유출과정에서 유입지의 분포를 보면 도시지역 중에서 서울, 부산, 경기지역으로 인구가 집중한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 70년대에는 서울 부산 등 대도시 지역으로 직접적인 이동이 있었으나 80년대에 들어와서는 대도시 지역으로의 직접적인 유입보다는 주변지역으로의 유입이 점차 증가함으로써 농촌에서 대도시로의 유입형태가 주변도시로의 유입형태로 변화되고 있다. 농촌인구의 유출을 농업생산과 관련시켜 볼 때 농업노동력의 수요가 확대되는 6월 이후에 유출인구는 점차 줄어들고 있으며 3월에 가장 많이 유출하는 것으로 판명되었다. 60년대 이후 농업정책과 농촌인구의 유출과의 관계를 분석하기 위해 순환변동을 도출하였으며 2-3차 개발계획기간을 제외한 기간에 있어서 농촌부문의 상대적 저위성이 농촌인구의 유출을 자극한 요인으로 작용했으며 이러한 사실은 농업정책의 불균형적 시행이 직 간접적으로 영향을 미친 결과라 하겠다. 끝으로 농촌인구의 유출을 포함한 한국농업의 근본적인 문제는 도농간 상대적 소득 격차에 있다고 보고 농촌지역의 개발을 서울이나 수도권, 대도시권의 비대화를 막기 위한 방편 또는 공업화 우선정책의 반작용으로 본 과거의 정책성향을 극복해야 한다는 점이다. 따라서 도농간 소득격차의 문제를 농업정책의 중심과제로 삼고 농촌지역의 자원을 보다 효율적으로 이용함으로써 나라의 경제적 효율성은 물론 형평성을 높인다는 시각에서 농업정책을 다루어야 할 것이다.
