In this study, wedge splitting tensile test(WST) using dye penetration method was carried out to investigate cracking criterion and fracture characteristics of concrete. For the this purpose, three levels of compressive strength of 180, 300 and 600 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and five testing age of 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days were selected as test variables. The specimen was loaded in a controlled manner and then dye was inserted at the load of 40%, 70% of the presumed peak load and at the load of 90% just after peak load. The fracture process zone was measured at each load step of a specimen. Test results were compared with analytic results by linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM) and numerical results through fictitious crack model(FCM) and finite element method(FEM).

The performance of a direct-injection type diesel engine often depends on the strength of air flow in the cylinder, shape of combustion chamber, the number of nozzle holes, etc. This is of course because the process of combustion in the cylinder was affected by the mixture formation process. In the present paper, high speed photography was employed to investigate the effectiveness of holes penetrated from the bottom of cavity wall to piston crown for some more useful utilization of air. The holes would function to improve mixing of fuel and air by the increase of air flow in the cylinder. The results obtained are summarized as follows, (1) Activated first of the combustion by shorten of ignition timing and rapid flame propagation (2) Raised the combustion peak pressure, more close to TDC the formation timing of peak pressure.

A DC current sensor is disclosed in which two pairs of saturable cores are provided so as enclose a conductor carrying a direct current to be measured. On each of the saturable cores, a bias winding, a feedback winding and an output winding are wound. Circuit for detection of an asymmetry in the magnetization current, generated by a reference alternating voltage, in a signal-conditioner. The reference alternating voltage is fed to the respective series circuits such that no resultant induction current is induced in the modulating current. The voltages over the resistor form input signals for two peak value detectors, the strength of the output signal of which represents the degree of asymmetry of magnetization current. This paper describes the development a DC current sensor and its signal-conditioner.

A constiutive model was proposed in order to model dilatancy under $K_0$ conditions. The model includes an anisotropic hardening rule with bounding surface and hypothetical peak stress ratio and dilatancy function which are dependent on a state parameter. The triaxial stress-strain relationship under $K_0$ conditions was calculated reasonably by the proposed model. In particular the model could consistently predict dilatancy in volume change, softening with peak strength and small strain behavior.

This paper describes the result of carbody and vibration test for freight car. The purpose of the test is to evaluate an safety which carbody structure shall be considered fully sufficient rigidity so as to load a freight car under maximum load and operating condition on line track. The test carbody is constructed by RS korea co., LTD. in accordance with KNR specfication. The test cases of the carbody is tested the vertical load and compressive load to verify the strength and stillness. The vibration test is tested for analysis and evaluation of vibration, to allow for the fact that mechanical vibration in railway vehicles have specific characteristics.

We have examined the relationship between the speeds of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the GOES X-ray peak fluxes of associated flares. Noting that previous studies were possibly affected by projection effects and random association effects, we have considered two sets of carefully selected CME-flare events: four homologous events and four well-observed limb events. In the respective samples, good correlations are found between the CME speeds and the GOES X-ray peak fluxes of the associated flares. A similarly good correlation is found for all eight events of both samples when the CME speeds of the homologous events are corrected for projection effect. Our results suggest that a close relationship possibly exists between CME kinematics and flaring processes.

This paper presents a new hypoelasticity model which was implemented in a nonlinear finite element formulation to analyze reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The model includes a new hypoelasticity constitutive relationship utilizing the rotation of material axis through successive iterations. The model can account for high nonlinearity of the stress-strain behavior of the concrete in the pre-peak regime, the softening behavior of the concrete in the post-peak regime and the irrecoverable volume dilatation at high levels of compressive load. This research introduces the modified version of the common application orthotropic stress-strain relation developed by Darwin and Pecknold. It is endeavored not to violate the principal of "simplicity" by improvement of the "capability" The results of analyses of experimental reinforced concrete walls are presented to confirm the abilities of the proposed relationships.

A new ignition system concept was developed to improve ignition performance, accuracy of control and the reliability of the ignition system. The new ignition system has ho호 frequency discharge characteristics with 1.5-2.0 ms discharge duration, in place of the usual solitary longer duration event. We applied the system to a commercial engine to study its influence on the maximum combustion pressure attained during the cycle, when this peak pressure occurred, imep, variation rate of the engine speed and the flammability limit of a lean mixture. In this study, we clarified that the new ignition system had a beneficial effect of the lean mixture flammability limit. Also for a given mixture strength we found that the mew ignition system gave a higher peak cylinder pressure than in the case of the conventional ignition system.

In this study, fundamental properties by pore structure and heat of microhydration test were determined. As a result of pore structure analysis, BS(AA) specimen showed showed the maximum peak value of significantly lower incremental intrusion than the maximum peak value of incremental intrusion at smaller pore size than that of BS. As a result of heat of microhydration test, the maximum heating value was in the order of OPC > BS > BS(AA), and initial drying shrinkage and compressive strength of BS(AA) were expected to be improved.

This paper described the ultimate strength and deformation limit of welded T-joints in cold-formed square hollow sections. Previous studies showed that the T-joint has an obvious peak load. with the failure mode of chord-web buckling at a ratio of branch width to chord width ($\beta$) of above 0.8. Similar to a T-joint with chord-flange failure mode, the strength at a certain deformation limit can be regarded as the ultimate strength of a T-joint Based on the experimental results including tests done by Kato and Zhao, the deformation limit was proposed as 3%B for $10.7{\leq}2{\gamma}(B/T){\leq}42.3$ and $0.8{\leq}{\beta}{\leq}1.0$. The strength formula of CIDECT and those of other researchers were also compared with the test results. Finally, the strength formula based on the column buckling was proposed.
