With steel and concrete composite beams, the incomplete interaction between the steel and the concrete slab leads to an appreciable increase in beam deflections. Moreover, encased composite beams using a deep deck plate or hollow-core PC slabs are critical to deflection due to their inherent geometry. In this paper, by using the calculation tools that were developed for a previous study on the deflection of encased composite beams considering the slip effects and load-slip curve, the shear bond stress and additional deflection induced due to interface slip of the encased composite beam are presented. It was found that the slip effects significantly contribute to the encased composite beam deflections and result in stiffness reduction of up to 30% compared to that of full shear interaction beams. The predicted results were compared with the measurement of 18 specimens tested in this study, and comparisons show a high degree of accuracy, within 6%.

Spraying method from the paddy-field levee is known to give insufficient penetration of the spray droplets to the rice stem of the densely grown plants, which is generally encountered at the last stage of rice growth. This study was intended to investigate the spraying system to solve this existing problem. As an approach, it was attempted to develop the boom-with-nozzle, between-the-row application system. Several types of nozzles and their different arrangements in the boom were tested in the field to measure the penetration-reaching distance and the uniformity of spray droplet distribution. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. Field experiments by the spraying method from the paddy-field levee showed to have practically no penetration of the spray droplets to the portion of the plant stem with the normal flow volume generally applied and thus need for improving present spraying method. 2. It was found that, considering both the uniformity of the spray droplet distribution and performance rate, the most efficient type of nozzle in the between-the-row boom-type spraying system was one that has core-insert hollow-cone with some clearance between the cone and tip. 3. When tested by applying the spraying method of between-the-row, the nozzle pressure did not affect the uniformity of spray droplet distribution. However, the nozzle pressure had a positive effect on the penetrating-reaching distance of the facing side of the rice stem and did not affect much on that of the opposite face of the stem. It was also found that the maximum pressure to affect the penetration-reaching distance was about $10kg/cm^2$. 4. The uniformity of the spray droplet distribution in the between-the-row system was greatly affected by the height and orientation of the nozzles in the boom. Based on experimental work for the different type of the boom-with-nozzle arrangements, it is recommended that the position of nozzle is set at about 0.45 m above the ground and two nozzles in the boom are oriented to be faced with each other with some angle such that the droplet stream from the nozzle would not directly face with each other.

Nano carbon balls (NCBs), activated carbons (ACs) and their mixture (new carbon mixtures, NCMs) were used to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from the automobile felt. The optimum analytical method to measure the trace amount of the VOCs, including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, has been established by utilizing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). The levels of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde released from newly produced felt were in the ranges of 0.3~6.0 ppm and 0.2~3.0 ppm, respectively. After 14 days of aging at the room temperature, however, their levels were still in the ranges of 0.2~0.5 ppm and 0.2~0.4 ppm, respectively. By applying NCMs of 2 wt% to the automobile felt, the amount of the total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) was reduced under the chronic inhalation minimum risk level of $0.32mmmm{\mu}g/TP$.

아웃도어용 스포츠웨어 의류분야는 소비자들의 욕구가 기능성, 착용감, 패션성을 매우 중시하는 고감성, 고기능성 제품특성을 요구하고 있으며 이를 가장 충족시킬 수 있는 패션 트랜드로서 보온, 경량화 제품이 가장 급부상하고 있는 아이템이다. 경량성의 쾌적 스포츠 웨어에 사용되는 주요 합섬소재인 PET, Nylon을 이용하여 소재의 세섬화, 중공 소재를 통한 제품 개발이 대부분으로 보온, 경량, 속건 등 의복에서의 쾌적 기능성을 개선하기 위하여 개발되는 소재 및 제품의 경량화, 보온 및 흡한속 건성 부여를 통한 기능 요소와 신질감 발현의 촉감요소를 통한 차별화 된 제품개발이 요구되고 있다. 보온 기능성을 부여하는 기술로써 가장 일반적인 기술은 섬유 내부에 중공을 형성하여 경량성과 보온성을 동시에 가지는 기능성 원사 제조 기술과 섬유 내에 열에너지를 흡수할 수 있는 물질을 넣어 외부의 태양광을 섬유내로 흡수하여 열에너지로 전환, 축적함으로서 보온성을 향상시키는 방식이 있다. 주로 경량 보온의 동시 발현을 위하여 중공 형성을 통한 보온 소재 개발이 활발하게 일어나고 있는 실정이다. 가장 많은 수요를 차지하고 있는 경량 보온성 중공사의 경우, 강도 저하, 염색 불량 등의 공정 애로점이 발생하며, 제직 및 가공 공정 시 원사 내 중공이 찌그러짐이 발생하므로 완제품 제조 후에는 중공의 기능이 제대로 발현되지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 또한 알칼리 또는 용제를 사용하여 후용출 하는 중공사의 경우, 공정이 복잡함은 물론 환경에 유해한 공정이다. 특히, 감량 후 직물의 인열강도는 감량 전과 비교하여 감소하게 되는데 이는 이용성 polymer가 용출되면서 생긴 중공에 의해 섬도가 감소되어 강도가 저하됨을 알 수 있다. 따라서 Sheath 부분에 최대한 손상을 주지 않으면서 Core 부분을 완전 용출 시킬 수 있는 감량 조건을 확보할 필요가 있다. 이에 보온성, 경량성의 기능을 극대화시키고, 중공률 유지하는 최적 용출 가공 조건을 확립하고자 연구하였다.

Multi-storey precast concrete skeletal structures are assembled from individual prefabricated components which are erected on-site using various types of connections. In the current design of these structures, beam-to-column connections are assumed to be pin jointed. Welded plate beam to-column connections have been used in the precast concrete industry for many years. They have many advantages over other jointing methods in component production, quality control, transportation and assembly. However, there is at present limited information concerning their detailed structural behaviour under bending and shear loadings. The experimental work has involved the determination of moment-rotation relationships for semi-rigid precast concrete connections in full scale connection tests. The study reported in this paper was undertaken to clarify the behaviour of such connections under symmetrical vertical loadings. A series of full-scale tests was performed on sample column for which the column geometry and weld arrangements conformed with successful commercial practice. Proprietary hollow core slabs were tied to the beams by tensile reinforcing bars, which also provide the in-plane continuity across the connections. The strength of the connections in the double sided tests was at least 0.84 times the predicted moment of resistance of the composite beam and slab. The secant stiffness of the connections ranged from 0.7 to 3.9 times the flexural stiffness of the attached beam. When the connections were tested without the floor slabs and tie steel, the reduced strength and stiffness were approximately a third and half respectively. This remarkable contribution of the floor strength and stiffness to the flexural capacity of the joint is currently neglected in the design process for precast concrete frames. In general, the double sided connections were found to be more suited to a semi-rigid design approach than the single sided ones. The behaviour of double sided welded plate connection test results are presented in this paper. The behaviour of single sided welded plate connection test results is the subject of another paper.

Carbon nano sphere(CNS) and nano bowl of carbon(NBC) containing 1.0 wt% copper were prepared by impregnation method and their catalytic activity was compared in the phenol hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of water and acetonitrile as a solvent, respectively. Cu content of catalysts was determined by EDS, and BET, pore volume, pore size and pore size distribution were compared. For both catalysts, phenol conversion, $H_2O_2$ efficiency and yield of catechol and hydroquinone were higher in the presence of water as a solvent than those in the presence of actonitrile. And catalytic activity such as phenol conversion and $H_2O_2$ efficiency of 1.0 Cu/CNS is about two times higher than that of 1.0 Cu/NBC in water solvent.

Concrete-filled steel columns consist of circular, square or rectangular hollow sections filled concrete. Much research has studied for the behavior of concrete-filled steel structures. The advantages from structural point of view are the triaxial confinement of the concrete within the section, and the fire resistance of the column which largely depends on the residual capacity of the concrete core. The axial capacity of a concrete-filled rectangular or circular section is enhanced by the confining effect of the steel section on the concrete which depends in the magnitude on the shape of the section and the length of the column. Buckling tends to reduce the benefit of confinement on the squash load as the column slenderness increases. In circular sections it is possible to develop the cylinder strength of the concrete. When compare with reinforced concrete columns, the concrete-filled composite column possesses much better strength and ductility in shear and generally in flexure also. Many researches are being conducted about concrete filled steel column to get these advantages in building design. In this paper it is provided to the basic experimental study of compression behavior of the circular and rectangular tubular steel pipe filled with concrete.

Recently, many linear motion generators and motors are rapidly finding applications that ranges from short stroke linear motion vibrators, such as dynamic cone type loudspeakers to stirling engine driven linear reciprocating alternators, compressors, textile machines etc. The stroke-length may go up to 2m, and the maximum speed is in the range of 5 to 10m/s with oscillating frequency as high as 15 kHz. Therefore, the linear oscillating actuators(LOAs) may be considered as variable speed drivers of precise controller with stoke-length and reversal periods during the reciprocating motion. In this paper, the design, fabrication, experiments, and extraction of control parameters of a moving coil type LOA for driving of linear reciprocating motion control systems, are treated. The actuator consists of the NdFeB permanent magnets with high specific energy as the stator produced magnetic field, a coil-wrapped nonmagnetic hollow rectangular bobbin structure, and an iron core as a pathway for magnetic flux. Actually, the design is accomplished by using FEM analysis for the basic configuration of a magnetic circuit, and characteristic equations for coil design. In order to apply as the drivers of a linear motion reciprocating control system, the control parameters and circuit parameters, such as input voltage-stoke, exciting frequency-stoke, coil inductance and so on, are extracted from the analysis and experiments on concerning a fabricating LOA.

Precast concrete structures are erected from individual prefabricated components, which are assembled on-site using different types of connections. In the present design of these structures, beam-to-column connections are assumed pin jointed. Bolted billet beam to-column connections have been used in the precast concrete industry for many years. They have many advantages over other jointing methods in component production, quality control, transportation and assembly. However, there is currently limited information concerning their detailed structural behaviour under vertical loadings. The experimental work has involved the determination of moment-relative rotation relationships for semi-rigid precast concrete connections in full-scale connection tests. The study reported in this paper was undertaken to clarify the behaviour of such connections under symmetrical vertical loadings. A series of full-scale tests was performed on sample column for which the column geometry and bolt arrangements conformed to successful commercial practice. Proprietary hollow core floor slabs were tied to the beams by 2T25 tensile reinforcing bars, which also provide the in-plane continuity across the connections. The contribution of the floor strength and stiffness to the flexural capacity of the joint is currently neglected in the design process for precast concrete frames. The flexural strength of the connections in the double-sided tests was at least 0.93 times the predicted moment of resistance of the composite beam and slab. The secant stiffness of the connections ranged from 0.94 to 1.94 times the flexural stiffness of the attached beam. In general, the double-sided connections were found to be more suited to a semi-rigid design approach than the single sided ones. The behaviour of double sided bolted billet connection test results are presented in this paper. The behaviour of single sided bolted billet connection test results is the subject of another paper.
