The determination of three dimensional parameters (e.g., radial speed, angular width, source location) of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) is very important for space weather forecast. To estimate these parameters, several cone models based on a flat cone or a shallow ice-cream cone with spherical front have been suggested. In this study, we investigate which cone model is proper for halo CME morphology using 26 CMEs which are identified as halo CMEs by one spacecraft (SOHO or STEREO-A or B) and as limb CMEs by the other ones. From geometrical parameters of these CMEs such as their front curvature, we find that near full ice-cream cone CMEs are dominant over shallow ice-cream cone CMEs. Thus we develop a new full ice-cream cone model by assuming that a full ice-cream cone consists of many flat cones with different heights and angular widths. This model is carried out by the following steps: (1) construct a cone for given height and angular width, (2) project the cone onto the sky plane, (3) select points comprising the outer boundary, (4) minimize the difference between the estimated projection speeds with the observed ones. We apply this model to 12 SOHO halo CMEs and compare the results with those from other stereoscopic methods (a geometrical triangulation method and a Graduated Cylindrical Shell model) based on multi-spacecraft data.

Horseshoe vortices generated around the juncture between the ship and her appendages often lower a performance of the ship by increasing the appendage drag and making a non-uniform wake on the propeller plane. This paper investigates numerically how the fillet around the juncture of the leading edge influences the juncture flow and the appendage drag. Computation has been made by solving Navier-Stokes equations with MAC method and the flows are at the Reynolds number of 5,000. Five fillets with different height-breath ratios and curvatures are chosen as test models to find out the effects of the shape of fillets on the appendage drag and wake. Computational results show that fillets with a smaller height-breath ratio and/or with a concave curvature has smaller appendage drag and more uniform wake.

Inception and propagation of electrical tree and properties of Partial discharge(PD) pulses accompanying with tree as a function of needle tip radius in low density polyethylene were discussed. To study on these characteristics in different tip radius, we used specimens with needle-plane electrode system made of LDPE, observed inception and propagation of electrical tree by optical microscope with computer and investigated the characteristics of the phase resolved PD pulses accompanying with propagation of electrical tree. The PD quantities detected and analysed were PD magnitude, mean phase angle, average discharge, and the statistical characteristics of the PD pulses. As the tip radius ${\gamma}$ increases, tree inception stress E$\sub$i/ converges to constance value. This result suggests that tree inception stress E$\sub$i/ increases due to stress relaxation when the tip radius is small. Branch-type electrical tree was formed When E$\sub$i/ is 640-750[kV/mm]. bush-type electrical tree when E$\sub$i/ is 370∼400[kV/mm], branch-like electrical tree when E$\sub$i/ is 370-400[kV/mm].

Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) is performed for developing turbulent flow of the $270^{\circ}$ curved duct at a Reynolds number of 56,690. The curvature ratio on the basis of a centric radius $R_c$ and a duct height H is 3.357. Turbulence models adopted are k-$\omega$ model for Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation Simulation and Shear Stress Transport (SST) model for DES. DES is used as the hybrid computation technique combined with RANS-SST and Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Predicted results are compared with measured results including the distributions of Reynolds stresses and the flow characteristics on the symmetric plane of curved duct are presented. Judging from the comparison between the predicted and the measured results, the DES approach is applicable to calculate the developing turbulent flow in a $270^{\circ}$ curved duct.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the transitional behavior and main factor of excessive welding distortion caused by fabrication process of STS 304 vacuum vessel having double curvature for the efficient quality control of vacuum vessel. In order to do it, the predictive equations of the welding distortion in simple weldment of vacuum vessel were established by conventional finite element analysis. And the principal factor controlling the welding distortion was identified by evaluating the welding distortion of vacuum vessel in each fabrication process with FEA and simplified thermo elastic method. Based on the results, the principal factors of distortion of vacuum vessel were clarified as angular distortion and transverse shrinkage which are a source of excessive out-of plane distortion in the double curved vacuum vessel. It was expected that the FE analysis results of this study could contribute to establish the proper control method of welding distortion for double curved vacuum vessel.

Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional spinal deformity defined as lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane of more than $10^{\circ}$. This study describes a case of functional scoliosis after hip injury. In this case, the patient fell whilst inline skating (June 2015) causing severe tilting of her spine, and left hip pain. She received outpatient treatment from July 14, 2015 to December 28, 2015. For approximately 5 months, acupuncture therapy was performed to relax the tension in both hips, Chuna therapy, and foot orthosis were applied to reduce the body's imbalance. Based on X-ray images, the Cobb angle had decreased from $14.73^{\circ}$ (pretreatment) to $1.90^{\circ}$ (posttreatment). This case report suggested that Korean medicine treatment could be an effective therapeutic choice for functional scoliosis.

In this study, the results of an analytical investigation on the seismic behavior of two residential 4-story bearing wall buildings with pilotis, each of which has symmetric or unsymmetric wall arrangement at their piloti level, are presented. The dynamic characteristics and lateral resistance of the piloti buildings were investigated through linear elastic and nonlinear static analyses. According to the results, the analytical natural period of vibration of the piloti buildings were significantly shorter than the fundamental period calculated in accordance with KBC 2016. In the initial elastic behavior, the walls resisting in-plane shear contributed to the lateral stiffness and strength, while the contribution of columns resisting flexural moments in double curvature was limited. However, after the shear cracking and yielding of the walls occurred, the columns significantly contributed to the residual strength and ductility. Based on those investigations, design recommendations of low-rise bearing wall buildings with piloti configuration are given.

In this paper, an improved mathematical model is presented for the bending analysis of doubly curved functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich rhombic conoids. The mathematical model includes expansion of Taylor's series up to the third degree in thickness coordinate and normal curvatures in in-plane displacement fields. The condition of zero-transverse shear strain at upper and lower surface of rhombic conoids is implemented in the present model. The newly introduced feature in the present mathematical model is the simultaneous inclusion of normal curvatures in deformation field and twist curvature in strain-displacement equations. This unique introduction permits the new 2D mathematical model to solve problems of moderately thick and deep doubly curved FGM sandwich rhombic conoids. The distinguishing feature of present shell from the other shells is that maximum transverse deflection does not occur at its center. The proposed new mathematical model is implemented in finite element code written in FORTRAN. The obtained numerical results are compared with the results available in the literature. Once validated, the current model was employed to solve numerous bending problems by varying different parameters like volume fraction indices, skew angles, boundary conditions, thickness scheme, and several geometric parameters.

In 2017 Pohang Earthquake, a number of residential buildings with pilotis at their first level were severely damaged. In this study, the results of an analytical investigation on the seismic performance and structural damage of two bearing wall buildings with pilotis are presented. The vibration mode and lateral force-resisting mechanism of the buildings with vertical and plan irregularity were investigated through elastic analysis. Then, based on the investigations, methods of nonlinear modeling for walls and columns at the piloti level were proposed. By performing nonlinear static and dynamic analyses, structural damages of the walls and columns at the piloti level under 2017 Pohang Earthquake were predicted. The results show that the area and arrangement of walls in the piloti level significantly affected the seismic safety of the buildings. Initially, the lateral resistance of the piloti story was dominated mainly by the walls resisting in-plane shear. After shear cracking and yielding of the walls, the columns showing double-curvature flexural behavior contributed significantly to the residual strength and ductility.
