One of the cause of embankment failure for piping is a routine design for piping consideration without exact understanding of that. Therefore, in this study, comparison and analysis of existing piping consideration methods had been conducted through embankment sections when sheet piles constructed on sandy ground. For the Terzaghi method and the critical hydraulic method, safety factors were changed up to double depending on the method. And for the critical velocity method, it was dramatically changed due to design parameters. Consequently, existing piping consideration method currently used is recommended not to be applied to all ground conditions uniformly but to applied with exact understanding of each consideration method characteristics depending on ground conditions.

The paper deals with the study of the dynamics of the oscillating moving ring load acting in the interior of the hollow circular cylinder surrounded by an elastic medium. The axisymmetric loading case is considered and the study is made by employing the exact equations and relations of linear elastodynamics. The focus is on the influence of the oscillation of the moving load and the problem parameters such as the cylinder's thickness/radius ratio on the critical velocities. At the same time, the dependence between the interface stresses and load moving velocity under various frequencies of this load, as well as the frequency response of the mentioned stresses under various load velocity are investigated. In particular, it is established that oscillation of the moving load can cause the values of the critical velocity to decrease significantly and at the same time the oscillation of the moving load can lead to parametric resonance. It is also established that the critical velocity decreases with decreasing of the cylinder's thickness/radiusratio.

The major parameters governing the fluid dynamical and thermo-dynamical behavior in the large pipeline network system are friction loss and the pipeline length. But in local pipeline networks and relatively short distance pipeline system, secondary loss and the considerations of the moving states of the fluid machine are also important. One of the major element in local pressure control system is pressure regulator. It causes the variations of the physical properties in that pipeline system. Especially, as there is not enough information to obtain reliable physical property values such as density, temperature etc. at the downstream of the pressure regulator, It is hard to calculate accurate solution in the pipeline network analysis. In this study, some numerical approaches to investigate the critical-flow-characteristics of the pressure regulator have been done and the detail examinations and considerations of the pressure regulator as a pipeline network elements according to the variations of the inlet-outlet pressure ratio have been carried. Finally the flow-flied distributions, relations and critical-flow-characteristics have been studied. in detail and the 1D analytic method to analyze critical pipe flow have been investigated

But in local pipeline networks and relatively short distance pipeline system, secondary loss and the considerations of the moving states of the fluid machine are also important. One of the major element in local pressure control system is pressure regulator. It causes the variations of the physical properties in that pipeline system. When it is under working, the accurate analysis of the flow properties is so difficult. In this study, some numerical approaches to investigate the critical-flow-characteristics of the pressure regulator have been done according to the variations of the opening ratio or cross-sectional area and the detail examinations and considerations of the pressure regulator as a pipeline network elements have been carried. Finally the flow-flied distributions and critical-flow-characteristics have been presented in detail and the critical flow phenomena and the relation to the opening ratio or cross-sectional-area ratio have been studied.

This paper presents the interruption capability of serial-hybrid type GCB (gas circuit breaker) compared with that of puffer type. First a puffer type model interrupter which has the stroke length of 80 mm has been designed and manufactured. And also, a serial-hybrid type interrupter which has the same design parameters as the puffer type interrupter except the serially arranged thermal-expansion chamber and puffer cylinder has been fabricated. Using a simplified synthetic test facility, the critical interruption capabilities of the two GCBs have been estimated. The critical di/dt, the critical dV/dt of ITRV (initial transient recovery voltage) and the minimum arcing time of the puffer type model GCB were 10.7 A/${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 5.5 kV/${\mu}\textrm{s}$, and 15.0 ms respectively. In the case of serial-hybrid type model GCB, each of the values was 16.6A/${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 11.5 kV/${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 13.0 ms. As a conclusion of this work, it has been quantitatively confirmed that the hybrid type interrupter can obtain the sufficient interruption capability at the operating force which is so low that puffer type interrupter has not the interruption capability.

The polycrystalline superconductor $SmBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ is fabricated, and intergranular magnetic properties are investigated using the critical state model, from which some useful parameters such as the critical current density and the intergranular volume fraction are obtained. The curve fitting for M-H hysteresis loop shows that the intergranular critical current density of $SmBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ / decreases in the form of ($1-T/T_{c}$ )$^{1.5}$ . The intergranular volume fraction is influenced by granular morphology. From SEM image, the grains of $SmBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ are found to be randomly shaped. This mean:; that the intergranular volume fraction of $SmBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ / should be smaller than those of superconductors, of which grains are plate-shaped such as Tl-based superconductor.

When high temperature superconducting tapes is fabricated using the PIT (Powder In Tube) method, the length of HTS tapes is increased more than 500 ${\sim}$ 1,000 times of initial powder packed billet. On mechanical processing, heterogeneous properties between the ceramic superconducting core and Ag/Ag alloy sheath occur the non-uniformity deformation as like sausaging that deteriorate the critical current properties of HTS tapes. In this study, we investigated the workability of Bi-2223/Ag/Ag alloy sheath tapes fabricated by the PIT method involving a number of different mechanical processes, multi drawing and rolling. In order to obtain the high critical current density and high uniformity of Bi-2223/Ag sheath tapes, the influences of powder packing density, drawing die angle and rolling parameters were studied. We found that the roll diameter is an important variable in the rolling process, as critical current of tapes rolled using 250 mm rolls was higher than that using 150 mm rolls.

In order to investigate the characteristics in tensile strength of transversely isotropic rock, a new anisotropic tensile failure function was suggested. According to the function, the tensile strength is minimum in the normal direction to a weakness plane and rises exponentially to its maximum on a plane perpendicular to the weakness plane. The anisotropic function is defined in terms of three strength parameters which can be identified trom direct tensile tests of transversely isotropic rocks. By incorporating the suggested function into the critical plane approach, a numerical procedure which enables to search the tensile strength and the direction of critical plane at failure was presented. The validity of the suggested numerical procedure was checked through the simulation of direct tensile tests reported in a literature. The numerical results from the simulation were in good agreements with those from the laboratory tests.

This paper presents a digital-controlled single-phase power-factor correction (PFC) converter operating in critical current conduction mode. The proposed converter utilizes the DC-DC boost converter topology for the PFC and operates the inductor current in critical conduction mode. Because the proposed converter is controlled digitally using a micom, its control circuit is simplified and the converter operates more effectively. This paper first explains the operational principles of the proposed converter and then analyzes the converter circuit. And this paper explains the implementation method of proposed converter with a detail design example, which is divided into software and circuit design parts. Also, it is shown through the experimental results of the prototype converter by the designed circuit parameters that the proposed converter has good performance as a single-phase PFC converter.
