The interaction between two different shaped structures is very important to be understood. Fluid-structure interactions and aerodynamics of a circular cylinder in the wake of a V-shaped cylinder are examined experimentally, including forces, shedding frequencies, lock-in process, etc., with the V-shaped cylinder width d varying from d/D = 0.6 to 2, where D is the circular cylinder diameter. While the streamwise separation between the circular cylinder and V-shaped cylinder was 10D fixed, the transverse distance T between them was varied from T/D = 0 to 1.5. While fluid force and shedding frequency of the circular cylinder were measured using a load cell installed in the circular cylinder, measurement of shedding frequency of the V-shaped cylinder was done by a hotwire. The major findings are: (i) a larger d begets a larger velocity deficit in the wake; (ii) with increase in d/D, the lock-in between the shedding from the two cylinders is centered at d/D = 1.1, occurring at $d/D{\approx}0.95-1.35$ depending on T/D; (iii) at a given T/D, when d/D is increased, the fluctuating lift grows and reaches a maximum before decaying; the d/D corresponding to the maximum fluctuating lift is dependent on T/D, and the relationship between them is linear, expressed as $d/D=1.2+{\frac{1}{e}}T/D$; that is, a larger d/D corresponds to a greater T/D for the maximum fluctuating lift.

Recently, there has been significant interest in structural health monitoring for civil engineering applications. In this research, a specially designed tendon, proposed by embedding FBG sensors into the center king cable of a 7-wire strand tendon, was applied for long-term health monitoring of tensile forces on a ground anchor. To make temperature independent sensors, the effective temperature compensation of FBG sensors must be considered. The temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$ of the FBG sensors embedded tendon was successfully determined to be $2.0{\times}10^{-5}^{\circ}C^{-1}$ through calibrated tests in both a model rock body and a laboratory heat chamber. Furthermore, the obtained result for ${\beta}^{\prime}$ was formally verified through the ground temperature measurement test, expectedly. As a result, the ground temperature measured by a thermometer showed good agreement compared to that measured by the proposed FBG sensor, which was calibrated considering to the temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$. Finally, four prototype ground anchors including two tension ground anchors and two compression ground anchors made by replacing a tendon with the proposed smart tendon were installed into an actual slope at the Yeosu site. Tensile forces, after temperature compensation was taken into account using the verified temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ground temperature obtained from the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) have been monitored for over one year, and the results were very consistent to those measured from the load cell, interestingly.

본 연구에서는 기존의 근입비와 재하높이에 따른 모형실험의 결과를 바탕으로 셀 내벽의 마찰을 인위적으로 증감시켜 셀 구조물의 변형특성에 미치는 벽면 마찰의 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 재하높이가 낮아질수록 그리고 근입비가 증가할수록 셀 구조물의 변형특성에 미치는 벽면마찰의 영향은 적게 나타났다. 또한 벽면 마찰이 감소함에 따라 항복하중도 작은 값을 나타내었다. 2. 재하높이가 낮아질수록 그리고 근입비가 커질수록 셀 구조물의 수평이동 변위에 대한 회전성분 변위의 비가 작게 나타났다. 따라서 벽면 마찰의 영향은 회전성분 변위와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper a simple and effective call admission control (CAC) scheme is proposed for the emerging interleave-division multiple-access (IDMA) systems, supporting a variety of traffic types and offering different quality of service (QoS) requirements and priority levels. The proposed scheme is signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) evolution based CAC (SE-CAC). The key idea behind the scheme is to take advantage of the SINR evolution technique in the process of making admission decisions, which is developed from the effective chip-by-chip (CBC) multi-user detection (MUD) process in IDMA systems. By virtue of this semi-analytical technique, the MUD efficiency can be estimated accurately. Additionally, the computational complexity can be considerably reduced. These features make the scheme highly suitable for IDMA systems, which can combat intra-cell interference efficiently with simple CBC MUD. Analysis and simulation results show that compared to the traditional CAC scheme considering MUD efficiency as a constant, the proposed SE-CAC scheme can guarantee high power efficiency and throughput for multimedia traffic even in heavy load conditions, illustrating the high efficiency of CBC MUD. Furthermore, based on the SINR evolution, the SE-CAC can make accurate estimation of available resource considering the effect of MUD, leading to low outage probability as well as low blocking and dropping probability.

본 논문에서는, 프록시 모바일 IPv6 네트워크에서 대역폭에 효율적인 핸드오프 기법을 분석하고 제안한다. MN(Mobile Node)은 느린 MN과 빠른 MN으로 구분된다. 대역폭에 효율적인 핸드오프 기법에서 먼저 빠른 MN은 마이크로셀에 등록되어야 한다. 매크로셀은 오버플로우된 세션 요청을 처리하기 위해 마이크로셀로 이동한다. 매크로셀에서 오버플로우된 세션 요청은 마이크로셀의 경계에서 새로운 마이크로셀로 돌아 갈 것을 요청한다. 유효 트래픽의 세션이 셀 내에 있다면 대상 마이크로셀에 의해 요청된다. 분석 모델을 개발하였고, 기존 세션호출의 차단 확률과 세션호출이 강제로 종료할 확률 등의 성능이 상당히 향상되었다. 시스템의 전체 트래픽 로드가 매우 크지 않은 경우에 제안 기법은 가장 우수한 대역폭 효율을 가지고 있으며, 시스템에 많은 처리 비용 없이도 MN에게 더 나은 서비스 품질을 제공한다.

A proper sealant for low temperature SOFCs should show zero or low leak rates to avoid direct mixing of the fuel and oxidant gases or leakage of fuel gas during the operation of SOFCs. Furthermore, it should be chemically and/or mechanically stable in both oxidizing and reducing environments and chemically compatible with other fuel cell components. In the present work, we developed a novel compressed seal gasket of glass-based composite reinforced with ceramic particulate particles, which can efficiently control the viscous flow of glass matrix as well as the crystallization of glass phase. This novel sealing gasket showed excellent gas tightness under very low compressive load which would be suitable for the operation of SOFCs in the temperature range $600{\sim}650^{\circ}C$.

모래다짐말뚝(SCP)공법은 느슨한 모래지반이나 연약한 점성토지반을 압밀촉진시키고 지지력을 강화하여 지반을 개량할 목적으로 적용되는 개량공법이다. 본 연구에서는 현장상태와 유사한 연성변형(free strain) 상태로 변형이 일어날 때 모래말뚝과 지반의 상호작용을 분석하기 위하여 모형토조실험 및 3-D유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 치환율이 증가함에 따라 하부의 응력분담비가 증가하고 침하량 및 모래말뚝 - 지반의 상대변위는 감소하였으며 특히 지표면 침하량이 크게 감소하였다. 3-D 유한요소해석의 경우 모래말뚝 - 지반 접촉면에서 상대변위가 발생하며 치환율의 증가에 따라서 접촉면의 상대변위는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 응력전이 메커니즘에 대한 분석을 수행하였으며 그 결과, 상대변위가 발생하지 않는다는 가정하에 제안된 모래말뚝 주면의 응력전이 이론식은 유한요소해석결과와 비교를 통하여 상대변위가 없는 경우는 물론 상대변위가 비교적 작은 5mm 정도까지도 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

최근 미세가공기술이 발전함에 따라 생체분해성 소재 기반의 미소바늘 혹은 미소바늘 주사기에 대한 연구가 각광을 받고 있다. 일반적으로 생체분해성 소재는 기계적 강도가 낮아 생체분해성 소재 기반의 미소바늘은 피부조직 관통 시 구부려지거나 파손되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 강도가 향상된 생체적합성 소재를 새로이 합성하는 대신에 미소바늘 삽입 전 피부조직에 1축 혹은 등2축 초기변형률을 가해 미소바늘의 피부조직 관통력을 감소시키는 방법에 대해 살펴본다. 실험에서는 1축 혹은 등 2축 초기변형률을 가해 준 돼지 피부조직에 미소바늘을 삽입시키면서 힘-시간 데이터를 획득함으로써 초기변형률에 의한 미소바늘의 관통력 변화를 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 미소바늘의 피부조직 관통력은 피부조직에 초기변형률을 가해주는 방법으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study aims to investigate the effects of the microstructures and nodule type on the fatigue characteristics of cast iron. Fatigue tests were carried out in tension-tension mode using a servo-hydraulic testing machine with load control mode operating at a frequency of 15 Hz. The tests were conducted at stress ratio R=Kmin/Kmax, of 0.1. Initial crack ${\Dalta}K$ values were highly performed with increase in tensile strength of DCI fatigue specimens. ${\Dalta}K_{th}$ region, fatigue crack propagation was primarily advanced through cell boundary and in periphery of near nodule. Fatigue crack propagation rate of D2 consisted with 2Phase(Ferrite+Pearlite) was slow due to crack closure enhanced by crack deflection and occurred crack branching. The generation of crack branch was occurred due to interaction of crack-nodule. At Threshold and Paris zone, the fractographs of the fatigue fracture surface for DCI show typical striations of a ductile fracture and isolated cleavage planes near graphite. The effect of microstructure on fatigue crack propagation of GC strongly depends on the type of flake. The generation of crack branch occurred due to interaction of crack-nodule. The fractographs of the fatigue fracture surface for GC show cleavage plane along the flake graphite.
