Mathematical model was developed to verify a sequential particle removal taking place in a granular media gravity filter. Consequential multi-layer filtration cycle model was applied to verify the fraction of filter effluent particles that are filter influent particles that were never removed as well as the fraction of filter effluent particles that were detached after deposition were performed through laboratory experiments. Three sizes of marker particles were injected ahead of the filter column as a pulse in the presence of four sizes of polystyrene particles that were used as a primary source of particles in the raw suspension to investigate particle attachment alone in contrast to net removal from attachment and detachment. Microscopic counting of filter effluent particles was assumed to reflect attachment. Experimental results indicated that particle detachment is significant beginning from the early phase of filtration. For each size of fluorescent microspheres at one filter depth, fluorescent microsphere removal increased with filter runtime to a maximum due to ripening. The detached fraction of effluent particles increased with particle size and filter depth. The presence of detached particles and the increasing fraction of detached particles in deeper bed were confirmed.

The erosion of solid particles in a pipe elbow was numerically investigated. A numerical procedure to estimate the sand erosion rate, as well as the particle motion, in the pipe elbow flow was introduced. This procedure was performed based on the combined empirical erosion model and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to consider the interaction between the particle motion and the eroded surface. The underlying turbulent flow on an Eulerian frame is described by the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with a $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulent model. The one-way coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian motion of the air flow and sand particles is employed to simulate the particle trajectories and particle-wall interactions on the pipe surfaces. The predicted CFD erosion magnitudes are compared with experimental data from pipe elbows. The erosion rate results do not reveal a good accordance between the simulation and experimental results. It seems that the CFD shows a slightly over-predicted erosion ratio.

A particle tuned mass damper (PTMD) system is the combination of a traditional tuned mass damper (TMD) and a particle damper (PD). This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of the damping performance of a PTMD attached to the top of a benchmark model under wind load excitation. The length ratio of the test model is 1:200. The vibration reduction laws of the system were explored by changing some system parameters (including the particle material, total auxiliary mass ratio, the mass ratio between container and particles, the suspending length, and wind velocity). An appropriate analytical solution based on the concept of an equivalent single-unit impact damper is presented. Comparison between the experimental and analytical results shows that, with the proper use of the equivalent method, reasonably accurate estimates of the dynamic response of a primary system under wind load excitation can be obtained. The experimental and simulation results show the robustness of the new damper and indicate that the damping performance can be improved by controlling the particle density, increasing the amount of particles, and aggravating the impact of particles etc.

The effect of particle breakage and intermediate principal stress ratio on the behaviour of crushable granular assemblies under true triaxial stress conditions is studied using the discrete element method. Numerical results show that the increase of intermediate principal stress ratio $b(b=({\sigma}_2-{\sigma}_3)/({\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_3))$ results in the increase of dilatancy at low confining pressures but the decrease of dilatancy at high confining pressures, which stems from the distinct increasing compaction caused by breakage with b. The influence of b on the evolution of the peak apparent friction angle is also weakened by particle breakage. For low relative breakage, the relationship between the peak apparent friction angle and b is close to the Lade-Duncan failure model, whereas it conforms to the Matsuoka-Nakai failure model for high relative breakage. In addition, the increasing tendency of relative breakage, calculated based on a fractal particle size distribution with the fractal dimension being 2.5, declines with the increasing confining pressure and axial strain, which implies the existence of an ultimate graduation. Finally, the relationship between particle breakage and plastic work is found to conform to a unique hyperbolic correlation regardless of the test conditions.

본 논문은 비전을 이용한 인간 정면 상반신 포즈를 인식 방법에 대해서 기술한다. 일반적으로 HCI(Human Computer Interaction)와 HRI(Human Robot Interaction)에서는 인간이 정면을 바라볼 때 얼굴, 손짓으로 의사소통 하는 경우가 많기 때문에 본 논문에서는 인식의 범위를 인간의 정면 그리고 상반신에 대해서만 한정한다. 인간 포즈인식의 주요 두 가지 어려움은 첫째 인간은 다양한 관절로 이루어진 객체이기 때문에 포즈의 자유도가 높은 문제점 때문에 모델링이 어렵다는 것이다. 둘째는 모델링된 정보와 영상과의 매칭이 어려운 것이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 모델링이 쉬운 그림모델(Pictorial Model)을 이용해 인체를 다수 사각형 파트로 모델링 하였고 이를 이용해 주요한 상반신 포즈를 DB화 해 인식한다. DB 포즈로 표현되지 못하는 세부포즈는 인식된 주요 포즈 파라미터로 부터 파티클필터를 이용해 예측한 다수 파티클로부터 가장 높은 사후분포를 갖는 파티클을 찾아 주요 포즈를 업데이트하여 결정한다. 따라서 주요한 포즈 인식과 이를 기반으로 한 세부 포즈를 추적하는 두 단계를 통해 인체 정면 상반신 포즈를 정확하게 인식 할 수 있다.

A nanofluid is a mixture of solid nanoparticles and a common base fluid. Nanofluids have shown great potential in improving the heat transfer properties of liquids. However, previous studies on the characteristics of nanofluids did not adequately explain the enhancement of heat transfer. This study examined the distribution of particles in a fluid and compared the mechanism for the enhancement of heat transfer in a nanofluid with that in a general microparticle suspension. A theoretical model was formulated with shear-induced particle migration, viscosity-induced particle migration, particle migration by Brownian motion, as well as the inertial migration of particles. The results of the simulation showed that there was no significant particle migration, with no change in particle concentration in the radial direction. A uniform particle concentration is very important in the heat transfer of a nanofluid. As the particle concentration and effective thermal conductivity at the wall region is lower than that of the bulk fluid, due to particle migration to the center of a microfluid, the addition of microparticles in a fluid does not affect the heat transfer properties of that fluid. However, in a nanofluid, particle migration to the center occurs quite slowly, and the particle migration flux is very small. Therefore, the effective thermal conductivity at the wall region increases with increasing addition of nanoparticles. This may be one reason why a nanofluid shows a good convective heat transfer performance.

콘크리트의 일축압축실험에서 축하중이 발생함에 따라 새로운 균열이 발생하고 이 균열의 확장이 파괴의 주된 원인이 되는 경우가 대부분인데 이는 입자 결합 모델에서 입자간의 결합이 파괴되어 해석 대상체의 균열 모사와 유사하게 해석될 수 있어 콘크리트의 표준 공시체에 대하여 일축압축실험의 모사 가능성을 연구하였다. 그러나 입자 결합 모델은 해석 대상체를 입자간의 집합체로 모사하기 때문에 입자간의 결합을 결정하는 미시변수에 의해서 해석 대상의 거시물성이 변하게 되어 이들 변수간의 정량적인 관계를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서 사용된 접촉 결합 모델에서는 총 8개의 미시변수가 있어 이들 변수와 일축압축실험결과 나오는 거시물성-탄성계수, 일축압축강도, 포아송비-와 콘크리트의 압축파괴거동에 관련이 있는 균열 개시 응력과 일축압축강도와의 비로서 5개의 거시물성에 대하여 부분배치법 및 회귀분석을 통하여 이들 간의 정량적인 관계를 도출하였고 그 결과 일축압축강도를 가정한 가상시료 및 조사 자료로부터 얻은 일축압축강도를 비교적 잘 모사할 수 있었다. 또한 해석을 수행한 공시체의 응력-변형률 곡선이나 응력 수준별 균열 발생의 빈도 및 파괴거동을 관찰한 결과 일반적인 콘크리트의 일축압축하중 하에서의 파괴거동과 상당부분 유사함을 보여 입자 결합 모델을 이용하여 콘크리트 공시체에 대한 일축압축실험을 잘 모사할 수 있다고 본다.

This study investigates the effect of particle size on the detergency of particulate soil using an $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model. Monodispersed spherical $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were prepared by the hydrothermal aging of an acidic $FeCl_3$ and HCl solution. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber was measured by the streaming potential method. The potential energy of interaction between the particle and fiber was calculated using the heterocoagulation theory for a sphere-plate model. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber and potential energy of interaction between particles and fiber increased with a decreasing particle size in a DBS solution. However, in the nonionic surfactant solution, the $\xi$-potential signs of PET fiber and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were (-) and (+), respectively; there was no repulsive power between the particles and substrate. The adhesion of particles to the fabric increased with increasing particle size in the anionic surfactant solution and their removal from the fabric increased with a decreasing particle size. The adhesion of particles to the fabric and their removal from the fabric was biphasic with a maximum and minimum at 0.1% concentration of the surfactant solution. In the nonionic surfactant solution the adhesion of particles to fabric and their removal from the fabric were greater than the ones in the anionic surfactant DBS solution.

In this paper, a three elastic body sliding contact problem is modeled to investigate more precise wear mechanisms related with the sealing surface. A 3-D finite element contact model, a small spherical elastic particle, PTFE seal and steel surface, is solved using a nonlinear finite element code MARC. The deformed seal and steel surface shapes, von-Mises and principal stress distributions are obtained for different seal sliding distances. The entrapped small particle within PTFE seal results in very high stresses on the steel surface which exceeded its yield strength and produce plastic deformation such as groove and torus. The sealing surface could also be worn down by sub-surface fatigue due to intervening small particles together with the well-known abrasive wear. Therefore the proposed contact model adopted in this paper can be applied in design of various sealing systems, and further studies are required.

The strength of lumped cokes can be represented by some index numbers. Although some indexes are suggested, these indexes are not enough to enlighten fracture mechanism. To find essential mechanism, a computational way, discrete element method, is applied to the uniaxial compression test for cylindrical specimen. The cylindrical specimen is a kind of lumped particle mass with parallel bonding that will be broken when the normal stress and shear stress is over a critical value. It is revealed that the primary factors for cokes fracture are parallel spring constant, parallel bond strength, bonding radius and packing ratio the parallel bond strength and radius of the parallel combination the packing density. Especially, parallel spring constant is directly related with elastic constant and yield strength.
