This investigation deals with the spin-up flows in a circular container of aspect ratio, 2.0. Shear front is generated in the transient spin-up process and propagating from the side wall to the central axis in a rotating container. Propagation of the shear front to the axis in a rotating container means the region acquires an angular momentum transfer from the solid walls. Propagating speed of the shear front depends on the apparent viscosity of polymer solution. Two kinds of polymer solutions are considered as a working fluid: one is CMC and the other is CTAB solution. CMC solution has larger apparent viscosity than that of water, and CTAB shows varying apparent viscosities depending on the applied shear rates. Transient and spatial variations of the apparent viscosities of the present polymer solutions (CTAB and CMC) cause different speeds of the propagating shear front. In practice, CMC solution that has larger values of apparent viscosity than that of water always shows rapid approach to the steady state in comparison of the behavior of the flows with water. However, for the CTAB solution, the speed of the propagating of the shear front changes with the local magnitude of its apparent viscosity. Consequently, the prediction of Wedemeyer's model quantitatively agrees with the present experimental results.

Polymer induced turbulent drag reduction in a rotating disk apparatus was investigated using four different molecular weights of poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) in a synthetic seawater solution for the purpose of potential application to the cold water piping in the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) system. To apply drag reduction to the OTEC we measured the temperature dependence on the drag reduction efficiency. From this study, it was found that the drag reduction efficiency increases with the temperature and the concentration. To measure the drag reduction efficiency during the operation period, the drag reduction behavior was detected as a function of time and the results obtained from the experiment was compared to the Brostow's model equation.

A general theory of polymer adsorption at a semi-permeable oil-water interface of the biphasic solution is presented. The configurational factor of the solution in the presence of the semi-open boundary at the interface is evaluated by the quasicrystalline lattice model. The present theory gives the feature of the bulk concentration equilibria between oil-water subsystems and the surface excesses of ${\Gamma}^{\alpha}$ and ${\Gamma}^\{beta}$ of the polymer segments as a function of the degree of polymerization $\gamma$, the Flory-Huggins parameter in $\beta$-phase $x_{\rho}^{{\beta}_{\rho}}$, the differential adsorption energy parameter in $\beta$-phase $x_{\sigma}^{{\beta}_{\rho}}$, the differential interaction energy parameter ${\Delta}x_{\rho}$ and the bulk concentration of the polymer in ${\beta}-phase ${\varphi}_2^{{\beta(*)}_2}$. From our numerical results, the characteristics of ${\Gamma}^{\alpha}$ are shown to be significantly different from those of ${\Gamma}^{\beta}$ in the case of high polymers, and this would be the most apparent feature of the adsorption behavior of the polymer at a semi-permeable oil-water interface, which is sensitively dependent on ${\Delta}x_{\rho}$ and r.

In this study, the effects of initial damage of concrete columns on the post-repair performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite are investigated experimentally. Four kinds of compression-damaged RC cylinders were reinforced using external CFRP composite wraps, and the stress-strain behavior of the composite/concrete system was investigated. These concrete cylinders were compressed to four pre-damaged states including low -level, medium -level, high -level and total damage states. The percentages of the stress levels of pre-damage were, respectively, 40, 60, 80, and 100% of that of the control RC cylinder. These damaged concrete cylinders simulate bridge piers or building columns subjected to different magnitudes of stress, or at various stages in long-term behavior. Experimental data, as well as a stress-strain model proposed for the behavior of damaged and undamaged concrete strengthened by external CFRP composite sheets are presented. The experimental data shows that external confinement of concrete by CFRP composite wrap significantly improves both compressive strength and ductility of concrete, though the improvement is inversely proportional to the initial degree of damage to the concrete. The failure modes of the composite/damaged concrete systems were examined to evaluate the benefit of this reinforcing methodology. Results predicted by the model showed very good agreement with those of the current experimental program.

탄소섬유시트 보강공법은 열화 손상된 콘크리트 구조물의 보강에 가장 많이 사용되는 보강공법 중 하나이다. 탄소섬유시트 보강공법은 에폭시접착제를 사용하여 탄소섬유시트를 콘크리트의 외부에 부착하는 보강공법으로 탄소섬유시트에 의한 휨보강이 에폭시 접착 경계면을 통하여 콘크리트로 전달된다. 따라서 사용기간이 경과함에 따라 에폭시 접착 경계면에 발생하는 크리프 등의 시간의존적 거동은 보강효과를 감소시키는 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 경계면에서 발생하는 크리프 영향을 해석하기 위하여 콘크리트의 크리프 거동에 대한 기존의 연구들을 고찰하고, 이를 바탕으로 에폭시 접착 경계면의 크리프 영향을 예측할 수 있는 이론적인 연구를 수행하였다. 제안된 유한요소해석기법은 기존의 콘크리트 크리프 거동 분석을 위해 사용되던 유변모델을 에폭시 접착 경계면에 적용한 것으로 기존 실험결과와 비교를 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, 제안된 유한요소해석을 통하여 탄소섬유시트로 보강된 콘크리트 구조물의 시간의존적 거동에 경계면 재료의 크리프 영향을 반드시 고려해야 한다는 것을 입증하였다.

Fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) composite decks are new to bridge applications and hence not much literature exists on their structural mechanical behavior. As there are many differences between numerical displacements through static analysis of the primary model and experimental displacements through static load tests, system identification (SI)techniques such as Neural Networks (NN) and support vector machines (SVM) utilized in the optimization of the FE model. During the process of identification, displacements were used as input while stiffness as outputs. Through the comparison of numerical displacements after SI and experimental displacements, it can note that NN and SVM would be effective SI methods in modeling an FRP deck. Moreover, two methods such as response surface method and iteration were proposed to optimize the estimated stiffness. Finally, the results were compared through the mean square error (MSE) of the differences between numerical displacements and experimental displacements at 6 points.

Even though fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely used as a retrofitting material, the FRP behavior and effect in FRP retrofitted structure under blast loading, impulsive loading with instantaneous time duration, has not been accurately examined. The past studies have focused on the performance of FRP retrofitted structures by making simplifications in modeling, without incorporating accurate failure mechanisms of FRP. Therefore, it is critical to establish an analytical model that can properly consider the specific features of FRP material in evaluating the response of retrofitted concrete structures under blast loading. In this study, debonding failure analysis technique for FRP retrofitted concrete structure under blast loading is suggested by considering FRP material characteristics and debonding failure mechanisms as well as rate dependent failure mechanism based on a blast resisting design concept. In addition, blast simulation of FRP retrofitted RC panel is performed to validate the proposed model and analysis method. For validation of the proposed model and analysis method, the reported experimental results are compared with the debonding failure analysis results. From the comparative verification, it is confirmed that the proposed analytical model considering debonding failure of FRP is able to reasonably predict the behavior of FRP retrofitted concrete panel under blast loading.

본 연구에서는 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지의 글리콜 몰비에 따른 경화거동을 실험하였다. 경화과정은 Tanaka 강체진자(rigid-body pendulum)형 점탄성 모델과 differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)법을 이용하였다. 강체진자의 회전축부에 수지막을 형성하여 자유진동을 시키면 수지막의 점탄성 변화에 응답하여 pendulum의 진동주기 T 및 대수 감쇄율 ${\Delta}$가 변화한다. Pendulum의 회전축부에 있어서의 수지막의 역학적인 응답을 pendulum의 진동 운동으로 취급하고 T 및 ${\Delta}$를 이용, 수지막의 dynamic modulus(E') 및 modulus loss(E')을 구하는 계산식을 만들었다. 이 측정법과 계산식을 이용하여 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지의 경화과정에 있어서의 점탄성 변화를 추적하여 수지막의 경화성의 차이를 알 수 있었다. Neopentyl glycol(NPG)의 몰비가 증가할수록 진동주기의 감소폭 기울기에 의한 경화반응속도가 느리고, damping 값에 의한 점도값의 상승속도가 감소하는 경화거동을 고찰하였다.

삼투정 펠렛은 경구를 통한 약물전달 시스템에 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 이러한 삼투정 펠렛은 수팽윤성 시드층과 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함하는 약물층 그리고 약물의 방출을 조절하는 반투막 층으로 구성되어 있다. 이번 연구에서는 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함한 삼투정 펠렛을 제조하고, 반투막층으로 사용되는 초산셀룰로오스(CA)와 Eudragit RS의 코팅두께에 따른 약물방출 거동과 알긴산 나트륨과 알긴산 나트륨의 가교가 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출에 미치는 영향에 대하여 확인하고자 하였다. 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함한 삼투정 펠렛의 제조는 유동층코팅기를 이용하여 제조하였으며, 비교적 높은 코팅 수율로 $1500{\sim}1700{\mu}m$ 내외의 펠렛이 제조됨을 SEM을 통하여 확인하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 펠렛의 반투막 층의 코팅두께에 따른 약물방출 거동을 보면 반투막의 코팅 두께가 증가할수록 약물의 방출이 지연됨을 확인하였다. 알긴산 나트륨을 반투막층 위에 코팅하였을 경우 인공위액(pH 1.2)에서는 약물방출이 거의 일어나지 않았으며, 인공장액(pH 6.8)으로 교체한 후 약물방출이 서서히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 알긴산 나트륨을 염화칼슘을 이용하여 가교시켰을 경우 약물의 방출이 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 이번 실험을 통하여 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출은 반투막충의 코팅두께에 영향을 받으며, 알긴산 나트륨이 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출에 영향을 끼침을 확인하였다.
