항만구조물의 경우 정적인 하중 뿐만 아니라 파압과 같이 반복적인 하중을 받는 구조물임에 따라 반복적인 하중을 받는 구조물의 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 반복 수평하중에 의한 말뚝으로 보강된 블록식 방파제의 거동특성을 실내모형실험을 통해 구하였다. 말뚝의 근입 깊이가 깊어질수록 수평저항력이 증가하는 경향이 나타났으며, 하중이 반복될수록 수평저항력의 기울기는 점차 완만하게 나타났다. 휨모멘트는 후열말뚝이 전열말뚝보다 크게 나타났다. 지반내에서의 말뚝의 휨모멘트는 Broms(1964)의 사질토지반에서 말뚝두부 자유일 때와 유사하게 나타났다.

This paper is concerned with nonlinear modeling and efficient numerical simulation of electrostrictive materials and structures. Two types of such materials are considered: relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and electrostrictive polymers. For ceramics, a geometrically linear formulation is developed, whereas polymers are studied in a geometrically nonlinear regime. In the paper, we focus on constitutive modeling first. For the reversible constitutive response under consideration, we introduce the augmented Helmholtz free energy, which is composed of a purely elastic part, a dielectric part and an augmentation term. For the elastic part, we involve an additive decomposition of the strain tensor into an elastic strain and an electrostrictive eigenstrain, which depends on the polarization of the material. In the geometrically nonlinear case, a corresponding multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient tensor replaces the additive strain decomposition used in the geometrically linear formulation. For the dielectric part, we first introduce the internal energy, to which a Legendre transformation is applied to compute the free energy. The augmentation term accounts for the contribution from vacuum to the energy. In our formulation, the augmented free energy depends not only on the strain and the electric field, but also on the polarization and an internal polarization; the latter two are internal variables. With the constitutive framework established, a Finite Element implementation is briefly discussed. We use high-order elements for the discretization of the independent variables, which include also the internal variables and, in case the material is assumed incompressible, the hydrostatic pressure, which is introduced as a Lagrange multiplier. The elements are implemented in the open source code Netgen/NGSolve. Finally, example problems are solved for both, relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and electrostrictive polymers. We focus on thin plate-type structures to show the efficiency of the numerical scheme and its applicability to thin electrostrictive structures.

에어로 스파이크 핀틀 노즐의 구동으로 인한 탈설계 조건에서의 추력 감소를 저감하고자 설계인자 분석 연구를 수행하였다. Close (NPR 100), open (NPR 11) 스트로크 모두 부족팽창 조건으로 고정되었다. 설계인자로 핀틀 형상, 핀틀 헤드 반경 (R), 덮개 각도 (θ), 덮개 출구 길이 (L)를 선정하였다. 검증된 수치해석 기법으로 설계인자로 인한 추력 변화를 분석하였다. 먼저 핀틀 헤드 반경과 덮개 출구 길이는 추력에 미치는 영향이 적었다. 덮개 각도는 유효 노즐목 면적에 영향을 주어 질량 유량을 변화시키고, 덮개 출구에서의 역압력 구배를 생성하였다. 이중 에어로 스파이크 형상을 적용한 결과, 탈설계 조건에서의 추력이 기준 case 대비 약 1.2%, 가장 악조건인 case 대비 약 3.4% 증가하였다.

InP, III-V binary compound semiconductor, single crystal was grown by VGF (vertical gradient freeze) method using quartz ampoule and its electrical optical properties were investigated. Phosphorous powders were put in the bottom of quartz ampoule and Indium metal changed in conical quartz crucible hat was attached at the upper side position inside the quartz ampoule. It was vacuous under the pressure of 10-5 Torr and sealed up. In metal in the quartz crucible was melted at 1070$^{\circ}C$ and phophorous sublimated at 450$^{\circ}C$, there after it was diffused in In melt and so InP composition was formed. By cooling the InP composition melt (2$^{\circ}C$∼5$^{\circ}C$/hr of cooling rate) in range of 1070$^{\circ}C$∼900$^{\circ}C$, InP crystal was grown. the grown InP single crystals were investigated by X-ray analysis and polarized optical microscopy. Electrical properties of them were measured by Van der Pauw method. At the cooling rate of 2$^{\circ}C$/hr, its direction was (111), quality of the ingot ws better upper side of the ingot than lower. It was found that the InP crystals were n-type semiconductor and the carrier concentration, electron mobility and relative resistivity were 1015∼1016/㎤, 2x103∼3x104$\textrm{cm}^2$/Vsec and 2x10-1∼2x10-3Ωcm in the range of 150K∼300K, respectively.

During an earthquake on December 29th 2020, the Krško NPP automatically shutdown due to the trigger of the negative neutron flux rate signal on the power range nuclear instrumentation. From the time course of the detector signal, it can be concluded that the fluctuation in the detector signal may have been caused by the mechanical movement of the ex-core neutron detectors or the pressure vessel components rather than the actual change in reactor power. The objective of the analysis was to evaluate the sensitivity of the neutron flux at the ex-core detector position, if the detector is moved in the radial or axial direction. In addition, the effect of the core barrel movement and core inside the baffle movement in the radial direction were analysed. The analysis is complemented by the calculation of the thermal and total neutron flux gradient in radial, axial and azimuthal directions. The Monte Carlo particle transport code MCNP was used to study the changes in the response of the ex-core detector for the above-mentioned scenarios. Power and intermediate-range detectors were analysed separately, because they are designed differently, positioned at different locations, and have different response characteristics. It was found that the movement of the power range ex-core detector has a negligible effect on the value of the thermal neutron flux in the active part of the detector. However, the radial movement of the intermediate-range detector by 5 cm results in 7%-8% change in the thermal neutron flux in the active part of the intermediate-range detector. The analysis continued with an evaluation of the effects of moving the entire core barrel on the ex-core detector response. It was estimated that the 2 mm core barrel radial oscillation results in ~4% deviation in the power and intermediate-range detector signal. The movement of the reactor core inside baffle can contribute ~6% deviation in the ex-core neutron detector signal. The analysis showed that the mechanical movement of ex-core neutron detectors cannot explain the fluctuations in the ex-core detector signal. However, combined core barrel and reactor core inside baffle oscillations could be a probable reason for the observed fluctuations in the ex-core detector signal during an earthquake.

Objective: To assess segmental liver stiffness (LS) with MRI before and after endovascular intervention in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Materials and Methods: Twenty-three patients (13 males and 10 females; mean age, 42.6 ± 12.6 years; age range, 31-56 years) with BCS as a primary liver disease were recruited for this study. Two consecutive magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) examinations were performed before the endovascular treatment. Fifteen patients who underwent endovascular intervention treatment also had follow-up MRE scans within three days after the procedure. LS was measured in three liver segments: the right posterior, right anterior, and left medial segments. Inter-reader and inter-exam repeatability were analyzed with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman analysis. Segmental LS and clinical characteristics before and after the intervention were also compared. Results: Within three days of the endovascular intervention, all three segmental LS values decreased: LS of the right posterior segment = 7.23 ± 0.88 kPa (before) vs. 4.94 ± 0.84 kPa (after), LS of the right anterior segment = 7.30 ± 1.06 kPa (before) vs. 4.77 ± 0.85 kPa (after), and LS of the left medial segment = 7.22 ± 0.87 kPa (before) vs. 4.87 ± 0.72 kPa (after) (all p = 0.001). There was a significant correlation between LS changes and venous pressure gradient changes before and after treatments (r = 0.651, p = 0.009). The clinical manifestations of all 15 patients significantly improved after therapy. The MRE repeatability was excellent, with insignificant variations (inter-reader, ICC = 0.839-0.943: inter-examination, ICC = 0.765-0.869). Bland-Altman analysis confirmed excellent agreement (limits of agreement, 13.4-19.4%). Conclusion: Segmental LS measured by MRE is a promising repeatable quantitative biomarker for monitoring the treatment response to minimally invasive endovascular intervention in patients with BCS.

Background: Sutureless aortic valves may enable shorter procedure times, which benefits patients with elevated surgical risk. We describe the outcomes of patients with aortic stenosis who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) using the sutureless Perceval aortic bioprosthesis. Methods: Data from a retrospective cohort were obtained from a clinical database. The study enrolled patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent surgical AVR with a sutureless bioprosthesis between August 2015 and December 2020. In total, 113 patients were included (mean age, 75.3±8.4 years; 57.5% women; median Society of Thoracic Surgeons score, 9.7%; mean follow-up period, 51.19±20.6 months). Of these patients, 41 were octogenarians (36.2%) and 3 were nonagenarians (2.6%). Transthoracic echocardiography was employed to assess changes in ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and mean pressure gradient (MPG). Results: The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.6%, and 13 patients developed new-onset atrial fibrillation. A permanent pacemaker was implanted in 3 patients (2.6%). The median intensive care unit stay was 1 day (interquartile range [IQR], 1-2 days), and the median hospital stay was 12 days (IQR, 9.5-15 days). The overall survival rate at 5 years was 95.9%. LVMI and MPG were reduced postoperatively, while EF increased over the follow-up period. No structural valve deterioration was observed, and no meaningful paravalvular leakage developed during follow-up. Conclusion: The use of a sutureless valve in the aortic position is safe and feasible, even for high-risk elderly patients requiring surgical AVR. LVMI and MPG decreased postoperatively, while EF increased over the follow-up period.

본 연구에서는 소나무와 낙엽송 스킨팀버의 ACQ-2, CUAZ-2, CuHDO-1 가압처리 특성을 평가하기 위해 소나무 변재부와 낙엽송 심재부 시험편을 대상으로 처리용 목재의 함수율이 방부제 처리도에 미치는 영향과 방부제 유효성분인 구리의 처리목재 내 정착 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 소나무 변재부는 방부제 종류에 관계없이 함수율 30%부터 사용환경 범주 H3용 처리목재의 침윤도와 흡수량 기준을 모두 만족하였다. 완벽한 방부제 침투가 가능한 소나무 변재부에서 깊이에 따른 방부제 흡수량 경사를 조사한 결과, 방부제 종류에 따른 차이가 관찰되었다. CuHDO-1 처리 시험편에서 발생한 경사가 ACQ-2와 CUAZ-2 처리 시험편에서의 경사보다 심했는데, 특히 고함수율(25, 30%) 시험편에서 경사가 저함수율(15, 20%) 시험편에서보다 심함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 난주입성인 낙엽송 심재부는 처리용 목재의 함수율 조건 및 방부제 종류에 관계없이 처리도 가 매우 불량하였다. 낙엽송 심재부의 처리도 개선을 위해 증기 전처리($121^{\circ}C$의 포화수증기 조건에서 12시간 처리)를 실시한 결과, 낙엽송 심재부의 침윤도와 흡수량 모두 사용환경 범주 H3용 처리목재 기준에 부합하게 처리도가 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 소나무 변재부와 낙엽송 심재부 시험편에서 공히 방부제 유효성분인 구리의 정착이 비건조 양생에 비하여 건조 양생에서 빨리 진행되었다. 소나무 변재부는 양생 초기 3~6일, 낙엽송 심재부는 양생 1일 이내에 3주간 정착된 구리 양의 95% 이상이 정착되었다. 양생 3주 후 처리목재 내에 미정착 상태로 남아있는 구리의 양은 ACQ-2, CuHDO-1, CUAZ-2 순으로 많았는데, 이는 처리용 작업액에 존재하는 구리의 양과 비례하였다.
