암석과 불연속면은 암반을 구성하는 주요소이며 각각의 주요 물성들은 암반 구조물의 역학적 안정성에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 암석 및 암반 불연속면의 물성은 시료의 크기에 따라 변화하는 양상을 보이므로 실험실 시험에서 얻은 물성을 현장 구조물 설계에 적용할 때는 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 이러한 이유로 실험실에서 얻은 암석 및 불연속면의 물성을 이용하여 현장규모의 암석 및 불연속면의 물성을 합리적으로 예측하는 방법을 확립할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 암반의 크기 효과에 대한 기초 연구로서 불연속면을 제외한 무결암 부분의 크기에 따른 물성 변화를 알아보고자 한다. 무결암에 가까운 재료를 택하기 위해 암석 대신 최대한 균질성이 보장될 수 있는 인공재료를 선택하였고 이러한 인공 재료에 대한 크기 변화에 따른 강도 및 탄성계수의 변화양상에 대해 살펴보았다. Buckingham's theorem을 이용한 차원해석을 통해 이상적인 무결함 재료의 크기에 따른 강도 및 탄성계수의 변화 양상을 파악하였고 이를 실험을 통해 검증해보기 위해 총 6가지의 재료를 대상으로 일축압축강도 실험을 실시하였다. 또한 3차원 입자결합모델을 이용한 상용프로그램인 PFC3D (Particle Flow Code 3- Dimension)를 사용하여 무결함 시료에 대해서 크기에 따른 강도 및 탄성계수 등의 물성 변화 양상을 수치해석을 통해 확인하고 그 영향요소를 분석하였다.

Hollow center cracked disc (HCCD) in Brazilian test was modelled numerically to study the crack propagation in the pre-cracked disc. The pre-existing edge cracks in the disc models were considered to investigate the crack propagation and coalescence paths within the modelled samples. The effect of particle size on the hollow center cracked disc (HCCD) in Brazilian test were considered too. The results shows that Failure pattern is constant by increasing the ball diameter. Tensile cracks are dominant mode of failure. These crack initiates from notch tip, propagate parallel to loading axis and coalescence with upper model boundary. Number of cracks increase by decreasing the ball diameter. Also, tensile fracture toughness was decreased with increasing the particle size. In this research, it is tried to improve the understanding of the crack propagation and crack coalescence phenomena in brittle materials which is of paramount importance in the stability analyses of rock and concrete structures, such as the underground openings, rock slopes and tunnel construction.

Geogrid application that has proved to be an effective and economic method of reinforcing particles, is widely used in geotechnical engineering. The discrete element method (DEM) has been used to investigate the micro mechanics of the geogrid deformation and also the interlocking mechanism that cannot be easily studies in laboratory tests. Two types of realistically shaped geogrid models with square and triangle apertures were developed using parallel bonds in PFC3D. The calibration test simulations have demonstrated that the precisely shaped triangular geogrid model is also able to reproduce the deformation and strength characteristics of geogrids. Moreover, the square and triangular geogrid models were also used in DEM pull-out test simulations with idealized shape particle models for validation. The simulation results have been shown to provide good predictions of pullout force as a function of displacement especially for the initial 30 mm displacement. For the granular material of size 40 mm, both the experimental and DEM results demonstrate that the triangular geogrid of size 75 mm outperforms the square geogrid of size 65 mm. Besides, the simulations have given valuable insight into the interaction between particle and geogrid and also revealed similar deformation behavior of geogrids during pullout. Therefore, the DEM provides a tool which enable to model other possible prototype geogrid and investigate their performance before manufacture.

High voltage direct current(HVDC) systems has been an alternative method of a power transmission to replace high voltage alternate current(HVAC), which is a traditional AC transmission method. Due to technical limitations, Line commutate converter HVDC(LCC-HVDC) was mainly used. However, result from many structural problems of LCC-HVDC, the voltage source converter HVDC(VSC-HVDC) are studied and applied recently. In this paper, after analyzing the reactive power and output voltage ripple, which are the main problems of LCC-HVDC, the characteristics of each HVDC are summarized. Based on this result, a new LCC-HVDC structure is proposed by combining LCC-HVDC with the MMC structure, which is a representative VSC-HVDC topology. The proposed structure generates lower reactive power than the conventional method, and greatly reduces the 12th harmonic, a major component of output voltage ripple. In addition, it can be easily applied to the already installed LCC-HVDC. When the proposed method is applied, the control of the reactive power compensator becomes unnecessary, and there is an advantage that the cut-off frequency of the output DC filter can be designed smaller. The validity of the proposed LCC-HVDC is verified through simulation and experiments.

Aim: This study investigates the effects of ginsenoside Rb1 (GsRb1) on methamphetamine (METH)-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and METH-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in adult Sprague-Dawley rats. It also examines whether GsRb1 can regulate these effects through the NR2B/ERK/CREB/BDNF signaling pathways. Methods: SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with GsRb1 (20 mM and 40 mM) for 1 h, followed by METH treatment (2 mM) for 24 h. Rats were treated with METH (2 mg/kg) or saline on alternating days for 10 days to allow CPP to be examined. GsRb1 (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before METH or saline. Western blot was used to examine the protein expression of NR2B, ERK, P-ERK, CREB, P-CREB, and BDNF in the SH-SY5Y cells and the rats' hippocampus, nucleus accumbens (NAc), and prefrontal cortex (PFC). Results: METH dose-dependently reduced the viability of SH-SY5Y cells. Pretreatment of cells with 40 µM of GsRb1 increased cell viability and reduced the expression of METH-induced NR2B, p-ERK, p-CREB and BDNF. GsRb1 also attenuated the expression of METH CPP in a dose-dependent manner in rats. Further, GsRb1 dose-dependently reduced the expression of METH-induced NR2B, p-ERK, p-CREB, and BDNF in the PFC, hippocampus, and NAc of rats. Conclusion: GsRb1 regulated METH-induced neurotoxicity in vitro and METH-induced CPP through the NR2B/ERK/CREB/BDNF regulatory pathway. GsRb1 could be a therapeutic target for treating METH-induced neurotoxicity or METH addiction.

최대 1800W의 열부하를 발생하는 전력반도체를 냉각하는 히트파이프 히트싱크를 설계하고 제작하였다. 히으파이프 냉각장치는 4개의 외경 22.23mm 인 FC-72 히트파이프, 알루미늄 블록 (130${\times}$160${\times}$35mm) 및 126개의 알루미늄핀 (250${\times}$58${\times}$0.8mm)으로 구성되어 있다. 성능 실험결과 총열저항은 1~2kW의 열부하일때 2~3m/s의 풍속에 풍속의 증가에 따라 0.02~0.018$^{\circ}C$/W 를 나타냈다. 이 결과는 3 m/s의 풍속에서 1800W의 열부하가 주어질 때 $40^{\circ}C$미만의 온도상승을 나타내는 것으로 설계 목표를 잘 만족하였다. 이 외로 대류 및 히트파이프의 열저항의 실험값은 몇가지 상관식에 의한 예측값과 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

In order to investigate the influence of the interfacial angel on failure characteristics and mechanism of combined coal-rock mass, 35 uniaxial/biaxial compressive simulation tests with 5 different interfacial angels of combined coal-rock samples were conducted by PFC2D software. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) The compressive strength and cohesion decrease with the increase of interfacial angle, which is defined as the angle between structure plane and the exterior normal of maximum principal plane, while the changes of elastic modulus and internal friction angle are not obvious; (2) The impact energy index $K_E$ decreases with the increase of interfacial angle, and the slip failure of the interface can be predicted based on whether the number of acoustic emission (AE) hits has multiple peaks or not; (3) There are four typical failure patterns for combined coal-rock samples including I (V-shaped shear failure of coal), II (single-fracture shear failure of coal), III (shear failure of rock and coal), and IV (slip rupture of interface); and (4) A positive correlation between interfacial angle and interface effect is shown obviously, and the interfacial angle can be divided into weak-influencing scope ($0-15^{\circ}$), moderate-influencing scope ($15-45^{\circ}$), and strong-influencing scope (> $45^{\circ}$), respectively. However, the confining pressure has a certain constraint effect on the interface effect.

최근 도심지 고층 구조물의 수가 증가하면서 수명이 오래된 구조물에 대한 재건축 수요가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 기존 구조물을 철거하는 방법에는 기계식 해체 공법과 발파 해체공법이 있으나 10여층 이상의 고층건물일 경우 발파해체공법을 사용하는 겅이 경제적으로 유리한 것으로 알려져 있다. 발파해체공법을 사용할 경우, 발파에 앞서 미리 그 붕괴거동을 예측하는 일은 안전한 발파를 위해서 뿐만 아니라 발파해체의 실패를 방지하기 위해서 필수적으로 요구된다. 과거의 연구에서 이차원 입자결합모델을 사용하여 구조물 해체과정을 모사한 사례가 있었지만, 실제 발파붕괴 거동을 적절히 모사하는 데는 많은 제약이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 개별요소법을 기반으로 입자결합모델을 사용한 상용 프로그램인 PFC3D를 사용하여 구조물의 3차원 해체발파를 모사하였다. 삼차원 해석에서는 해석 시간이 오래 걸리는 단점으로 인하여 현실에 가까운 모사를 완성할 수 없었지만 몇 가지 입력변수를 바꾸어가며 그들의 효과를 관찰하였다. 보다 현실에 가까운 결과를 얻기 위해서는 입력변수의 설정과 부재 특성의 모사에 보다 많은 노력이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Experimental and discrete element methods were used to investigate the effects of angle of Y shape non-persistent joint on the tensile behaviour of joint's bridge area under brazilian test. concrete samples with diameter of 100 mm and thikness of 40 mm were prepared. Within the specimen, two Y shape non-persistent notches were provided. The large notch lengths were 6 cm, 4 cm and 2 cm. the small notch lengths were 3 cm, 2 cm and 1 cm. The angle of larger notch related to horizontal axis was 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°. Totally, 12 different configuration systems were prepared for Y shape non-persistent joints. Also, 18 models with different Y shape non-persistent notch angle and notch length were prepared in numerical model. The large notch lengths were 6 cm, 4 cm and 2 cm. the small notch lengths were 3 cm, 2 cm and 1 cm. The angle of larger notch related to horizontal axis was 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150. Tensile strength of model materil was 1 MPa. The axial load was applied to the model by rate of 0.02 mm/sec. This testing showed that the failure process was mostly governed by the Y shape non-persistent joint angle and joint length. The tensile strengths of the specimens were related to the fracture pattern and failure mechanism of the discontinuities. It was shown that the tensile behaviour of discontinuities is related to the number of the induced tensile cracks which are increased by increasing the joint length and joint angle. The minimum tensile strength occurs when the angle of larger joint related to horizontal axis was 60°. Also, the maximum compressive strength occurs when the angle of larger joint related to horizontal axis was 90°. The tensile strength was decreased by increasing the notch length. The failure pattern and failure strength are similar in both methods i.e. the experimental testing and the numerical simulation methods.
