  • From extensive measurements of the resistance and the dynamic resistance as functions of magnetic field and temperature, we find that the transport in the insulating state beyond the superconductor-insulator (S-I) transition is dominated by bosons(Cooper pairs and/or vortices) and cannot be described by the theory of the fermionic insulating phase. The maximum of the magnetoresistance at B = B$_m$ and the following negative slope in R(B) with increasing field can be explained by the crossover from the "Bose-glass" to the "Fermi-glass" phase as suggested by Paalanen, Hebard, and Ruel. The zero bias peak in dv/dl for biases below the characteristic voltage V$_c$ (or current $I_c$), gives a clue for the assumption of the "dirty boson" model which states that the insulating state above the critical magnetic field is the phase where Cooper pairs are localized due to the Coulomb blockade with a nonvanishing order parameter. The shift to a lower value of the critical magnetic field by overlaying thin Au layer, which is known as a strong spin-orbit scatterer, also supports the bosonic nature of the S-I transition.

  • The control rod worth is a key safety parameter required to be measured in commercial pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Conventionally, the control rod worth is measured after reaching the critical state, which occupies the considerable time in the zero-power physics test. In this study, an efficient control-rod worth measurement technique has been proposed based on the improved neutron-source multiplication method, which can be implemented with the source-range detector count rates in the subcritical states. Moreover, the noise reduction technique has been adopted to smooth the large fluctuation existing in the original signals. In order to verify the engineering performance of the proposed measurement technique, the measured source-range detector count rates during the rod withdrawal process before reaching critical state in a CNP1000 reactor have been employed. It demonstrated that almost all estimated results of control rod worth satisfy the engineering acceptance criteria, except one control rod with the relative difference over 10 %, which indicates the capability of the proposed method in estimating control rod worth.

  • 본 연구에서는 단조하중과 반복하중에 대한 점토지반의 거동을 표현할 수 있는 새로운 구성모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 과압밀상태에서의 응력-변형률 관계를 쌍곡선식으로 가정하고 한계상태이론과 결합시켜 비배수 응력경로를 예측한다. 에너지분산식을 이용하여 개발된 이 구성모델은 단조하중 작용시에 미약한 과압밀상태 및 과다한 과압밀상태의 점성토거동을 표현할 수 있다. 또한 반복하중하에서의 거동을 나타내기 위하여 단조하중에 대하여 개발된 구성모델에 비배수 경로간격비 이동함수를 도입하였다. 이를 위하여 한개의 추가적인 모델계수가 필요하며 그 값은 합리적 방법으로 실험결과로부터 산정될 수 있다. 본 구성모델은 비교적 쉽고 정확하게 반복하중을 받는 점성토지반의 비배수 거동에 대한 실험결과를 예측한다.

  • Flutter derivatives provide the basis of predicting the critical wind speed in flutter and buffeting analysis of long-span cable-supported bridges. In this paper, one popular stochastic system identification technique, covariance-driven Stochastic Subspace Identification(SSI in short), is firstly presented for estimation of the flutter derivatives of bridge decks from their random responses in turbulent flow. Secondly, wind tunnel tests of a streamlined thin plate model and a ${\Pi}$ type blunt bridge section model are conducted in turbulent flow and the flutter derivatives are determined by SSI. The flutter derivatives of the thin plate model identified by SSI are very comparable to those identified by the unifying least-square method and Theodorson's theoretical values. As to the ${\Pi}$ type section model, the effect of turbulence on aerodynamic damping seems to be somewhat notable, therefore perhaps the wind tunnel tests for flutter derivative estimation of those models with similar blunt sections should be conducted in turbulent flow.

  • In this paper, the important novelty and the defining a physical phenomenon of the resent research is the development of nonlocal stress and strain parameters on the porous sandwich beam with functionally graded materials in the top and bottom face sheets.Also, various beam models including Euler-Bernoulli, Reddy and the generalized formulation of two-variable beam theories are obtained in this research. According to a nonlocal strain elasticity theory, the strain at a reference point in the body is dependent not only on the stress state at that point, but also on the stress state at all of the points throughout the body. Thus, the nonlocal stress-strain elasticity theory is defined that can be actual at micro/nano scales. It can be seen that the critical buckling load and transverse deflection of sandwich beam by considering both nonlocal stress-strain parameters is higher than the nonlocal stress parameter. On the other hands, it is noted that by considering the nonlocal stress-strain parameters simultaneously becomes the actual case.

  • It has been well known that ductile fracture of steels is accelerated by triaxial stresses. The characteristics of ductile crack initiation in steels are evaluated quantitatively using two-parameters criterion based on equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality. It has been demonstrated by authors using round-bar specimens with circumferential notch in single tension that the critical strain to initiate ductile crack from specimen center depends considerably on stress triaxiality, but surface cracking of notch root is in accordance with constant strain condition. In order to evaluate the stress/strain state in the specimens, especially under dynamic loading, a thermal, elastic-plastic, dynamic finite element (FE) analysis considering the temperature rise due to plastic deformation has been carried out. This study provides the fundamental clarification of the effect of strength mismatching, which can elevate plastic constraint due to heterogeneous plastic straining, loading mode and loading rate on critical condition to initiate ductile crack from notch root using equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality based on the two-parameter criterion obtained on homogeneous specimens under static tension. The critical condition to initiate ductile crack from notch root for strength mismatched bend specimens under both static and dynamic loading would be almost the same as that for homogeneous tensile specimens with circumferential sharp notch under static loading.

  • 나노구조 교환결합 삼층박막의 열적안정성을 예측하기 위한 최근의 연구진전에 대하여 리뷰한다. 새로운 해석적/수치적 방법을 이용하여 나노구조 교환결합 삼층박막의 에너지 배리어, 나아가서 열적안정성을 예측한다. 이 방법의 특징은 수치적인 방법을 이용하여 얻은 magnetostatic 자기장을 포함하는 해석적인 전체 에너지 방정식을 이용함에 있다. 단자구라는 가정하에, 모든 magnetostatic 자기장은 자성층 전체 부피에 대해 그 값을 평균함으로써 유효 값을 취할 수 있다. 그러나, 평형상태에서는 자구의 구조가 복잡하며, 또한 불안정한 saddle point에서의 자구 구조를 알 수 있는 직접적인 방법이 없기 때문에, saddle point에서의 magnetostatic 자기장 역시 얻을 수 없다. 이러한 어려움은 micromagnetic simulation을 통해 얻을 수 있는 critical 자기장과 saddle point에서의 magnetostatic 자기장을 연결하는 방정식을 사용함으로써 극복되었다. 이 방법은 신뢰성이 확보된 micromagnetic simulation에 기반을 두고 있기 때문에 열적안정성을 정확하게 예측하는 것이 가능하다.

  • Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an innovative soil improvement approach utilizing metabolic activity of microbes to hydrolyze urea. In this paper, the shear response and the erodibility of MICP-treated sand under axial compression and submerged impinging jet were evaluated at a low confining stress range. Loose, poorly graded silica sand was used in testing. Specimens were cemented at low confining stresses until target shear wave velocities were achieved. Results indicated that the erodibility parameters of cemented specimens showed an increase in the critical shear stress by up to three orders of magnitude, while the erodibility coefficient decreased by up to four orders of magnitude. Such a trend was observed to be dependent on the level of cementation. The treated sand showed dilative behavior while the untreated sands showed contractive behavior. The shear modulus as a function of strain level, based on monitored shear wave velocity, indicated mineral debonding may commence at 0.05% axial strain. The peak strength was enhanced in terms of emerging cohesion parameter based on utilizing the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria.

  • 최근 발표된 GvdW(Generalized van der Waals) EOS에서는 상호작용이 vdWf(van der Waals force)뿐이라고 여겨지는 구체특성의 비선형적 입자에 대해 임계영역에서의 상태 특성이 잘 기술될 수 있음을 보였다. 그러나 기존의 논문에서는 선형성을 갖는 입자의 형태나 정전기적 인력 등 추가적인 상호작용이 존재하는 입자에 대해서도 GvdW가 정확성을 나타내는지에 대한 분석이 이루어지지 않아, GvdW의 범용성에 대한 논란의 여지가 남아있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 선형성을 갖는 입자인 포화 알칸 유도체 류(R=methane, ethane, propane, butane)와 정전기적 인력이 극한적으로 나타나는 포화 아민 유도체 류($RNH_2$, R=methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-amine)에 대한 임계영역 시뮬레이션을 위하여 이들 입자들에 대한 GvdW의 파라미터 값을 정의하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 최근에 발표된 기존의 상태방정식들과 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 포화 알칸 유도체 류와 포화 아민 유도체 류 입자에 대하여 GvdW는 기존의 방정식들보다 측정값에 더 가까운 정확한 임계영역 특성이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 분자량이 큰 부탄에 있어서는 GvdW EOS만이 임계점에 정확하게 근접함을 알 수 있었다.

  • In this study, a forging steel alloyed with both Nb and V was used as experimental material and the hot deformation behavior has been studied for this steel by conducting the compressive deformation test at temperature of $900-1150^{\circ}C$ and strain rate of $0.01-0.01s^{-1}$ in a MMS-300 thermo-mechanical simulator. The microstructure evolution, particularly the dynamically recrystallized microstructure, of the experimental steel at elevated temperatures, strain rates and strain levels, was characterized by optical microstructural observation and the constitutive equation in association with the activation energy and Zener-Hollomon parameter. The curves of strain hardening rate versus stress were used to determine the critical strain and peak strain, and their relation was connected with Zener-Hollomon parameter. Under the conditions of processing temperature $900^{\circ}C$ and strain rate $0.01s^{-1}$, the dynamic recrystallization took place and the austenite grain size was refined from $164.5{\mu}m$ to $28.9{\mu}m$.
