Earth's gravity field recovery was improved after the pre-processing upgrade of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiments (GRACE) satellite's star trackers. The star tracker measurements were filtered with a tighter low-pass filtering of 0.025Hz cutoff frequency, instead of a nominal filtering of 0.1Hz cutoff frequency. In addition, a jump removal algorithm was applied to remove discontinuities, due to direct Sun and/or Moon interventions, in the star tracker measurements. During the K-Band Ranging (KBR) calibration maneuvers, large attitude variations could be detected concurrently by both of the star trackers and the accelerometer. The misalignment angles of star trackers between the true frame and the normal frame could be determined by comparing measurements from these sensors. In this paper, new Earth' gravity field maps were obtained using above improvement. Based on comparisons to nominal Earth's gravity field maps, the new Earth's gravity field maps were found better than the nominal ones. Among the applied methods, the misalignment calibration of the star trackers had a major impact on the improvement of the new Earth's gravity field maps.

This study compares the seismic performances of two reinforced concrete frame specimens tested by the pseudo-dynamic procedure. The pair of 3-storey, 3-bay frames specimens are constructed with typical characteristics of older construction which is lacking seismic design. One of the specimens is a bare frame while the other is infilled with low-strength autoclave aerated concrete (AAC) block masonry. The focus of this study is to investigate the influence of low strength masonry infill walls on the seismic response of older RC frames designed for gravity loads. It is found that the presence of weak infill walls considerably reduce deformations and damage in the upper stories while their influence at the critical ground story is not all that positive. Infill walls tend to localize damage at the critical story due to a peculiar frame-infill interaction, and impose larger internal force and deformation demands on the columns and beams bounding the infills. Therefore the general belief in earthquake engineering that infills develop a second line of defence against lateral forces in seismically deficient frames is nullified in case of low-strength infill walls in the presented experimental research.

경상북도 울진 보암광상 일대에서 리튬 페그마타이트와 관련된 화성암체의 분포를 파악하기 위해 중력탐사를 실시하고, 주변 지질 및 광체와의 공간적 관계를 연구하였다. 중력탐사 결과 보암광상 주변은 상대적으로 낮은 중력이상을 나타내고 있다. 보암광상은 남서-북동 방향으로 길게 분포하는 화성암체(분천화강편마암)와 남동쪽의 율리층군 및 원남층군, 동서 방향의 장군석회암층 및 동수곡층 퇴적암과 만나서 이루는 남서-북동 방향의 중력이상 경계 인근에 위치하고 있다. 이러한 남서-북동 방향의 서쪽 경계가 상대적으로 뚜렷하기는 하지만, 이외에도 광상 주변으로 동쪽과 남쪽 경계에서도 상대적으로 낮은 중력이상이 둘러싸고 있기 때문에 이곳에서도 주변으로 지표에 드러나지 않은 화성암체가 분포하고 있을 수 있다. 중력탐사를 통해 추정되는 잠두 화성암체의 분포 특성은 추후 리튬 페그마타이트의 분포와 규모를 예측하는데 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

A direct numerical simulation (DNS) code suitable for the prediction of buoyant jet diffusion flames was developed in this study. The thermodynamic and transport properties were evaluated using CHEMKIN package to enhance the prediction performance of the developed DNS code. A two dimensional simulations were performed for the jet diffusion flames in normal and zero-gravity conditions where the Froude numbers are 5 and infinity, respectively. The simulated buoyant jet diffusion flame in normal gravity showed that the unsteady and dynamic motion although the reynolds number is low (400). It was identified that the flame in normal gravity flickered periodically. The periodic motion of the flame disappeared in zero-gravity condition. The dynamic motion of the buoyant jet diffusion flame could be well understood by comparing the flame structures obtained by the simulations of normal and zero-gravity conditions.

The seismic design regulations have not been applied to low-rised buildings which are less than 6 stories. To evaluate the seismic strength of the low-rised building which is designed only for gravity, a theoretical and numerical analysis are peformed. In theoretical analysis, column hinge sway mechanism is assumed. For the numerical, push-over analysis is executed for 3 and 4 storied buildings. From the evaluations, the minimum base shear is found to be 0.1 g

Objectives : This study was performed in order to investigate the relation of body composition analysis and radiological parameter(lumbosacral angle, lumbar lordortic angle, lumbar gravity line). Methods : This study was carried out with the data from comprehensive medical testing. 75 subject aged 20-59 performed the segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis, questionnaire. And lumbosacral angle, lumbar lordortic angle and lumbar gravity line were measured in the standing position x-ray. Then we analyzed the data. Results : Low back pain(LBP) prevalence in high obesity index(Body Mass Index(BMI), Percentage of Body Fat(PBF), Waist Hip Ratio(WHR)) group was higher than LBP prevalence in normal obesity index group(p<0.01). In LBP group, lumbosacral angle, lumbar lordortic angle were significantly lager than Non-LBP group(p<0.001). And 75% of LBP group indicated abnormal lumbar gravity line ratio(0.67 < Normal lumbar gravity line ratio <1.00). When it comes to analyze relation between obesity index and radiological parameter, no-significant change was seen. Conclusions : This study carried as following research after the study on relation of obesity, LBP and trunk muscle strength. Results from this investigation showed positive correlation between obesity and LBP prevalence. But obesity index didn't indicate significant correlation with structural changes of lumbar vertebrae. When considering prior research, trunk muscle strength changes were more related to LBP prevelence in obese people. This results are expected to explain causes of LBP in obese group.

In the last decade, the supply of natural aggregates has been continuously increased due to the other types of aggregates. In general, aggregates constitute 70-80% of the total volume of concrete, so the quality of aggregates is main factor controlling physical characteristics of concrete. For this reason, physical properties of aggregate according to different rock types were studied. The majority of crushed aggregates is taken out of granite, gneiss, sandstone, andesite, basalt and so forth. The physical properties of these rock types were tested and most of them fell within the acceptable limit on the base of Korean standard regulation. The major lithology of the crushed aggregates is granite and gneiss, both of which are marked for more than 50% of total lithology thpes in Korea. A to the physical properties of granite, the high specific gravity coincides with low porosity, low absorption ratio, while the abrasion and soundness index show, in general, no specific trend. It has been assumed that slight differences of the physical properties of granite aggregates are related with those of the mineral composition, grain size, and so on. In comparison to granite, the physical properties of gneiss have little correlation one after another. This trend is related to different mineral composition, grain size and typical sheet fractures typically prevailing in the texture of gneiss. Spatial pattern of physical properties shows that high specific gravity of granite coincides only with low porosity and absorption ratio in all provinces except Cheolla province, and high specific gravity of gneiss coincides with low porosity and absorption ratio only in Cheolla and Gandwon provinces.

A mixture fraction formulation is used to numerically simulate the structure of diluted axisymmetric methane-air nonpremixed counterflow flames. The effects of global strain rate and gravity wert! investigated and results were compared. Fuel of a mixture of 20% methane and 80% nitrogen by volume and oxidizer of pure air at low and moderate global strain rates $a_g= 20, 40, 80 s^{-1}$ in normal and zero gravity were computed. It is shown that the numerical method is capable of predicting the structure of counterflow flames in normal and microgravity environments at low and moderate global strain rates.

Two problems in the measurement of 6-DOF head vibration in very low frequency range were investigated in this study. One is how much error was involved in the estimation of three rotational and three translational motion at any specified point from measured 6 translational accelerations. The other is quantitative and qualitative influence of gravity on DC and AC component of the estimated accelerations in 6 degree of freedom, which were derived from pick-ups fixed on a helmet. In the study the effect of nonlinear terms on the estimation of 6 degree of freedom accelerations was negligible but gravity effect must be considered carefully.

GRACE 위성자료를 이용하여 한반도를 포함한 동아시아 지역에서 지오이드와 중력이상을 계산하였다. 지오이드의 기복은 중국 내륙에서 한반도를 거쳐 태평양쪽으로 갈수록 음에서 양으로 -60 m에서 60m로의 변화가 나타난다 중력이 상은 섭입대에서의 특징적인 -100 mgal 이하의 저이상대를 제외하면 전체적으로 $-60\~60\;mgal$의 분포를 보이며, 북한 지역의 백두산과 개마고원, 남한지역의 태백산맥에서 고이상이, 동해의 울릉분지, 일본분지, 야마토 분지에서 저이상이 관찰된다. 지각 성분만을 고려하기 위한 방법으로 구면조화분석시 degree 10이하의 광역성분을 제거하여 잔여이상을 계산하였다. 계산된 잔여이상에서 한반도 육상 북부 산간 지역과 경상분지 일대에서 고이상이 보이고, 한반도 주변 해상지역의 서한만 분지와 남한 군산분지, 제주분지, 울릉분지 등지에서 저이상대가 관찰된다. 육상지역과 해상지역에서 계산된 잔여이상과 degree별 분리된 이상대의 분포는 지하 지질 규모 및 심도별 분포와 관련하여 대규모 지구조를 규명하거나, 나아가 지하자원 탐사에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
