Many aspects of the behavior of sands are affected by the content of non-plastic fine particles and these various aspects should be included in a constitutive model for the soil behavior. The fines content affects maximum and minimum void ratios, compressibility, shear strength, and static liquefaction under undrained conditions. Twenty-eight undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on mixtures of sand and fine particles with fines contents of 0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, and 100% to study the effects of fines on void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. The experiments were performed at low consolidation pressures at which liquefaction may occur in near-surface, natural deposits. The presence of fines creates a particle structure in the soil that is highly compressible, enhancing the potential for liquefaction, and the fines also alter the basic stress-strain and volume change behavior, which should be modeled to predict the occurrence of static liquefaction in the field. The void ratio at which liquefaction occurs for each sand/fines mixture was determined, and the variation of compressibility with void ratio was determined for each mixture. This allowed a relation to be determined between fines content, void ratio, compressibility, and the occurrence of static liquefaction. Such relations may vary from sand to sand, but the present results are believed to indicate the trend in such relations.

The nonlinear numerical analysis of the impact response of reinforced concrete/mortar beam incorporated with the updated Lagrangian method, namely the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is carried out in this study. The analysis includes the simulation of the effects of high mass low velocity impact load falling on beam structures. Three material models to describe the localized failure of structural elements are: (1) linear pressure-sensitive yield criteria (Drucker-Prager type) in the pre-peak regime for the concrete/mortar meanwhile, the shear strain energy criterion (Von Mises) is applied for the steel reinforcement (2) nonlinear hardening law by means of modified linear Drucker-Prager envelope by employing the plane cap surface to simulate the irreversible plastic behavior of concrete/mortar (3) implementation of linear and nonlinear softening in tension and compression regions, respectively, to express the complex behavior of concrete material during short time loading condition. Validation upon existing experimental test results is conducted, from which the impact behavior of concrete beams are best described using the SPH model adopting an average velocity and erosion algorithm, where instability in terms of numerical fragmentation is reduced considerably.

During the laser welding, weldments are suddenly heated by laser beam and cooled. This phenomenon gives occasion to complex welding residual stresses, which have a great influence on structural instability strength, in laser welds. However, a relevant research on this field is not sufficient until present and residual stress measurements have experimental and practical limitations. For these reasons a numerical simulation may be attractive in order to solve the residual stress problem. In order to determine the distribution of heat and welding residual stresses in laser welds with the nail-head shape, authors conduct the finite element analysis (two-dimensional unstationary heat conduction & thermal elasto-plastic analysis). From the result of this study, we can confirm the stress concentration is occurred at the place of melting line shape changed in laser welds with the nail-head shape.

The packaging of the integrated circuits requires knowledge of ceramics and metals to accommodate the fabrication of modules that are used to construct subsystems and entire systems from extremely small components. Composite ceramics (Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$) were tested for substrates. A stress analysis was conducted for a linear work-hardening metal cylinder embedded in an infinite ceramic matrix. The bond between the metal and ceramic was established at high temperature and stresses developed during cooling to room temperature. The calculations showed that the stresses depend on the mismatch in thermal expansion, the elastic properties, and the yield strength and work hardening rate of the metal. Experimental measurements of the surface stresses have also been made on a Cu/Al$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$ceramic system, using an indentation technique. A comparison revealed that the calculated stresses were appreciably larger than the measured surface stresses, indicating an important difference between the bulk and surface residual stresses. However, it was also shown that porosity in the metal could plastically expand and permit substantial dilatational relaxation of the residual stresses. Conversely it was noted that pore clusters were capable of initiating ductile rupture, by means of a plastic instability, in the presence of appreciable tri-axiality. The role of ceramics for packaging of microelectronics will continue to be extremely challenging.

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique had been adapted to the Mg alloy (AZ31) for achieving effective grain refinement through severe deformation. The average grain size of $2.5{\mu}m$ could be obtained after 4 passes. The stability of the ECAPed structure at elevated temperatures was examined by annealing the ECAPed materials over a wide range of temperature between 473 and 748 K. The average activation energy, Q, for static grain growth of 1, 2 and 3 passes was 33.7 kJ/mole (=0.25QL, activation for lattice diffusion). The abnormally low Q value in the lower temperature range may indicate that grain growth occurs in the unrecrystallized microstructure where non-equilibrium grain boundaries containing a large number of extrinsic dislocations exist. The yield stresses of the ECAPed alloys decreased whereas the elongations increased after the ECAP process. These results should be related to the modification of texture for easier slip on basal plane.

본 연구에서는 강관압입 공법 적용 시 굴착 선단부에서 수리학적 또는 역학적 불안정으로 인해 발생 가능한 붕괴를 방지하는 목적으로 액체질소를 주입하여 굴착선단부를 안정화하는 공법에 관하여 연구하였다. 강관압입 공법 적용 시 오거 내 중공(中空)에 액체질소 주입관(호스)를 넣어 오거 선단부에 액체질소를 분사하는 방식을 고안하였다. 실내 실험을 위해 직경이 1,000 mm인 강관압입관을 기준으로 1/5축소 모형오거 및 토조를 제작하였다. 화강풍화토로 지반을 조성하여 함수비를 변화시켜가며 액체질소를 주입한 결과 오거 선단부에 동결 구근이 형성되어 강관압입공법 시공 시 발생 가능한 붕괴를 막을 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 액체질소를 이용한 동결공법은 지반이 모래일 때 보다는 소성이 있는 화강풍화토일 경우 더 효과적이었으며, 화강풍화토 지반의 경우 함수비가 최적함수비 이상일 경우 동결효율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 액체질소 분사시간이 길어질수록 동결범위가 더 커졌으며 인위적으로 함수비를 급격히 증가시켜 수리학적 불안정을 유발해 보았더니 강관과 오거 전면의 지반이 약 120~300초 이내에 동결 되어 관으로 흙이 유입되지 않았으며, 차수효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이번 연구에서는 강관압입공법 안정화에 미치는 주요 인자에 대하여 액체질소를 이용하여 강관압입공법 시공 시 역학적 수리학적인 불안정이 발생할 경우, 화강풍화토 지반의 경우 붕괴를 막을 수 있는 효율적인 방법이 될 수 있다는 것을 확인하는데 큰 의의를 둔다.

The stream generator tubes represent an integral part of a major barrier against the fission product release to the environment. So, the rupture of these tubes could permit flow of reactor coolant into the secondary system and injure the safety of reactor coolant system. Therefore, if the crack was detected during In-Service Inspection of tubes the cracked tube should be evaluated by the pulgging criteria and plugged or not. In this study, the fracture mechanics evaluation is carried out on the thru-wall axial crack due to Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking in the roll transition aone of steam generator tube to help the assurence the integrity of tubes and estabilish the plugging criteria. Due to the Inconel which is used as tube material is more ductile than others, the plastic instability repture theory was used to calculate the critical and allowable crack length. Based on Leak Before Break concept the leak rate for the critical crack length and the allowable leak rate are compared and the safety of tubes was given.

Anti cancer agent 5-FU (Fluoro Uracil) is a prodrug that can be metabolized and then activated to interfere with RNA and DNA homeostasis. However, the majority of administered 5-FU is known to be catabolized in vivo in the liver where Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is abundantly expressed to degrade 5-FU. The biological factors that correlate with the response to 5-FU-based chemotherapy have been proposed to include uridine phosphorylase (UPP), thymidine phosphorylase (TPP), p53 and microsatellite instability. Among these, the expression of UPP is known to be controlled by cytokines such as $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL1 and $IFN-{\gamma}$. Our preliminary study using a DNA microarray technique showed that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) markedly induced the expression of UPP1 at the transcription level. In the present study, we investigated whether bFGF could modulate the expression of UPP1 in osteo-lineage cells and examined the sensitivity of these cells to 5-FU mediated apoptosis.

최근, 화석연료의 고갈과 환경오염의 문제로 인해 차세대 신재생 에너지에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 그 중 수소연료는 친환경, 저장의 용이, 손쉬운 제조 등과 같은 장점에 반해 가연범위가 넓고, 폭발의 위험성이 단점으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 간편한 SP 시험법을 이용하여 고압수소가스 분위기 하에서 in-situ 수소취화거동을 평가할 수 있는 시험기법을 확립하고자 한다. 그 적용성을 평가하기 위해서 수소저장용기 재료로 사용되는 스테인리스강(SUS316L)을 사용하여 대기압, 고압 헬륨 및 수소가스 분위기에서 시험하였다. 실험결과, 고압 수소가스 분위기에서는 수소 침투로 인해, 대기압 및 헬륨가스 분위기하에서와 달리, 시험편 표면에 미세균열 발생과 하중-변위 선도상 소성불안정 변형 영역에서 연신율 감소를 가져왔고, 파면관찰 결과 수소취화 균열이 관찰되어 SP시험법의 유효성을 나타내었다.
