In this study, the process parameters in powder compaction are optimized for getting high relative densities. To find optimized parameters, the analytic models of powder compaction are firstly prepared by 2-dimensional rod arrays with random green densities using a quasi-random multi-particle array. Then, using finite element method, the changes in relative densities are analyzed by varying the size of the particle, the amplitude of cyclic compaction, and the coefficient of friction, which influence the relative density in cyclic compactions. After the analytic function of relative density associated process parameters are formulated by aid of the response surface method, the optimal conditions in powder compaction process are found by the grid search method.

Granulated coal ash (GCA), a mixture of the by-product from milling processes with a small amount of cement added, has recently come to be used as a new form of geomaterial. The shear strength and deformation behaviours of GCA are greatly determined by its relative density or void ratio. A series of drained triaxial compression tests were performed on cylindrical specimens of GCA at confining pressures of between 50 kPa and 400 kPa at initial relative densities of 50%, 70% and 80%. Experimental results show that a rise in relative density increases the peak shear strength and intensifies the dilation behaviour. The initial tangent modulus and secant modulus of the stress-strain curve increase with increasing initial relative density, whereas the axial and volumetric strains at failure decrease with level of initial relative density. The stress-dilatancy relationships of GCA at different relative densities and confining pressures display similar tendency. The dilatancy behaviour of GCA is modelled by the Nova rule and the material property N in Nova rule of GCA is much larger than that of natural sand.

This study investigates the uplift capacity of a single vertical belled pile buried at shallow depth in dry sand. The laboratory model experiments are conducted with different pile-tip angles and relative densities. In addition, image and FEM analyses are performed to observe the failure surface of the belled pile for different pile-tip angles and relative densities. Accordingly, the uplift capacity and failure angle in the failure surface of the belled pile were found to depend on the belled pile-tip angle and relative density. A predictive model for the uplift capacity of the belled pile was proposed considering the relative density and belled pile-tip angle based on a previous limit equilibrium equation. To validate the applicability of the proposed model, the values calculated using the proposed and previous models were compared to those obtained through a laboratory model experiment. The proposed model had the best agreement with the laboratory model experiment.

반복단순전단시험기를 이용하여 해양실트질 모래의 상대밀도 변화에 따른 비배수전단파괴 거동에 대해 평균전단응력과 반복전단응력이 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 시험결과 반복전단 변형모드는 상대밀도가 달라지더라도 유사한 양상을 보였으며, 평균전단응력과 반복전단응력으로부터 큰 영향을 받았다. 파괴에 필요한 반복하중 횟수는 반복전단응력비, 상대밀도, 그리고 평균전단응력비의 순서로 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 조밀한 지반과 느슨한 지반에서 상대밀도 변화에 따른 응력기반 파괴경로의 변화를 2차원과 3차원으로 제시하였으며, 3차원 파괴선도는 조밀한 지반 조건에 대해서만 한정된 한계점을 보완하여 지반의 상대밀도에 따라 반복전단응력비, 평균전단응력비, 반복하중 횟수 등의 설계 조건을 결정 할 수 있는 아주 유용한 설계도구로 활용 가능하다.

Air pluviation method is widely adopted for preparation of large, uniform and repeatable sand beds of desired densities for laboratory studies to simulate in-situ conditions and obtain test results which are highly reliable. This paper presents details of a portable traveling pluviator recently developed for model sand bed preparation. The pluviator essentially consisted of a hopper, orifice plates for varying deposition intensity, combination of flexible and rigid tubes for smooth travel of material, and a set of diffuser sieves to obtain uniformity of pluviated sand bed. It was observed that sand beds of lower relative density can be achieved by controlling height of fall, whereas, denser sand beds could be obtained by controlling deposition intensity. Uniformity of pluviated sand beds was evaluated using cone penetration test and at lower relative densities minor variation in density was observed with depth. With increase in relative density of sand bed higher repeatability of uniform pluviation was achieved.

본 연구에서는 세라믹 제품의 고밀도를 얻기 위해 분말 압축 성형 공정 변수의 최적화가 수행되었다. 이를 위해 먼저 임의의 초기 밀도를 갖는 분말 성형체를 모델링하였다. 그리고 반복 가압 성형 공정시 상대밀도에 영향을 주는 Al₂O₃ 입자의 크기, 반복 가압 진폭 크기, 그리고 마찰계수에 따른 상대밀도의 변화를 유한요소법으로 해석하였다. 유한요소 해석 결과를 반응 표면법으로 수식화한 후, 격자 탐색법으로 가압 성형 공정 변수의 최적 조건을 찾았다. 입자의 크기가 22.5 ㎛, 반복 가압 진폭이 75 MPa, 마찰계수가 0.1103인 경우에 상대 밀도 값이 0.9390으로 최대가 되었다.

We investigated the role of competition in adaptation to varying water availability levels for two ecotypically-differentiated populations of Impatiens pallida found naturally in low- vs. high-water environments. In a greenhouse experiment, seedlings were grown in pure cultures at two densities (n=1 and 2 plants per pot) and in mixed cultures (n=2) under low-, medium- and high-water treatments. The two populations were shown to be genetically distinct across the range of environmental conditions in the greenhouse experiment, confirming previous findings. The two populations had similar morphological responses to density and water availability in pure cultures and mixtures, but the population from the high-water environment showed a greater growth response to high water availability than did the population from the low-water environment and the difference in growth between the two populations decreased from the high-water to low-water treatment. Relative competitive ability of two populations were compared under three different water treatments and two densities. Differential response to watering treatment and density were not reflected in a difference in relative competitive ability. Relative yield totals were significantly greater than 1 overall. The niche differentiation suggested by RYTs>1 may be responsible for the lack of differential competitive effects observed for populations in the three vatering treatments.

This study was designed to carry out studies on critical seepage velocity and critical hydraulic gradient using a piping test targeting SM and ML which are widely distributed ahead of and behind the depth of E.L(-)10m in Saemangeum area in order to examine stability of embankment built on the ground vulnerable to piping. The effects of relative densities on critical hydraulic gradient and critical velocity were also compared and analyzed using empirical formula and theoretical formula, and relative densities were set up as respectively 9%, 25%, 50%, and 75% for this experiment. As a result, for critical hydraulic gradient, most of specimens detected piping at lower values than the empirical formula of Terzaghi(1922). It is, therefore, considered that the empirical formula devised by Kalin(1977) or Hayashi(1978) is more reasonable to be conservative. It was also found that critical velocity decreased as relative density increased, and critical velocity predicted was mostly lower than the theoretical formula.

Proten-conductive $SrZr_{0.95} Y_{0.05} O_{2.975}$ powder was prepared by citrate gel method its characteristics and sinterability were investigated. Amorphous gel could be obtained from a citric acid solution that $SrCO_3$ and metal nitrates were dissolved. The initial decomposition of the gel proceeded up to $250^{\circ}C$, followed by combustion of its decomposition products in the temperature range from $250^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$. A well-crystallized perovskite phase with a stoichiometric composition after calcination at $1000^{\circ}C$. Sintering green compacts of this powder for 6 h showed a considerable densification to start at $1200^{\circ}C$ and resulted in 86.8% and 96.5% relative densities at $1400^{\circ}C$ and $1600^{\circ}C$, respectively. Whereas, the powder compacts prepared by solid state reaction had much lower relative densities, 73% at $1400^{\circ}C$ and 92% at $1600^{\circ}C$.
