In this study, the behavior of saturated sandy soils under dynamic loads - pore water pressure and effective stress - was investigated using Disturbed State Concept(DSC) model. The model parameters are evaluated from laboratory test data. During the process of loading and reverse loading, DSC model is utilized to trace strain-hardening and cyclic softening behavior. The procedure of back prediction proposed in this study are verified by comparing with laboratory test results. From the back prediction of pore water pressure and effective mean pressure under cyclic loading, excess pore water pressure increases up to initial effective confining pressure and effective mean pressure decrease close to zero in good greement with laboratory test results. Those results represent the liquefaction of saturated sandy soils under dynamic loads. The number of cycles at initial liquefaction using the model prediction is in good agreement with laboratory test results. Therefore, the results of this study state that the liquefaction of saturated sandy soils can be explained by the effective tress analysis.

In this paper, the application of the DSC model to the analysis of liquefaction potential is examined through experimental and analytical investigations. For more realistic description of dynamic responses of saturated sands, the DSC model was modified based on the dynamic effective stress path and excess pore pressure development. Both static and cyclic undrained triaxial tests were performed for sands with different relative densities and confining stresses. Based on test results, a classification of liquefaction phases in terms of the dynamic effective stress path and the excess pore pressure development was proposed and adopted into the modified DSC model. The proposed methods using the original and modified DSC models were compared with examples with different relative densities and confining stresses. Based on the comparisons between the predicted results using the original and modified DSC models and experimental data, the parameters required to define the model were simplified. It was also found that modified model more accurately simulate initial liquefaction and dynamic responses of soil under cyclic undrained triaxial tests.

The purpose of this study is to find out the factors affacting liquefaction potential by using DSC(disturded state concept) method and to verify these results through cyclic shear test (truly triaxial test and cyclic triaxial) on saturated sandy soil. Based on this reserch, the DSC method predictions were found to provide satisfactory correlation with the cyclic shear test. And the relationship between the factors affecting liquefaction characteristics--relative density(Dr0 and initial effective confining pressure and physical properties of the saturated sand --ξD and Dc--is found. If the relative density and the initial effective confining pressure increase, the number of cyclic grows up. This means that Dc is incresed and ξD is decreased. Therefore, the liquefaction potential can be evaluated and the factors affacting liquefaction potential can be investigated by using on DSC method. Finally, it is shown that the DSC method can capture the liquefaction mechanism.

A methodology was developed for evaluation of oxidation stability of base stocks and engine oils. Analytical procedures for both classes of lubricants were based on the ASTM standards D 6186 and/or E 2009. The procedures were applied to a set of engine oils of the SAE 5W-30 specification, and to a set of several hydrocracked and solvent neutral base oils, both with and without addition of antioxidant. A potential of a pressure DSC for diagnostic purposed was also demonstrated by monitoring the engine oil ageing during its operation in heavy-duty engine.

There are many problems in the prediction of dynamic behaviors of saturated soils because undrained excess pore water pressure builds up and then the strain softening behavior is occurred simultaneously. A few analytical constitutive models based on the effective stress concept have been proposed but most models hardly predict the excess pore water pressure and strain softening behaviors correctly In this study, the disturbed state concept (DSC) model proposed by Dr, Desai was modified to predict the saturated soil behaviors under the dynamic loads. Also, back-prediction program was developed for verification of modified DSC model. Cyclic triaxial tests were carried out to determine DSC parameters and test result was compared with the result of back-prediction. Through this research, it is proved that the proposed model based on the modified disturbed state concept can predict the realistic soil dynamic characteristics such as stress degradation and strain softening behavior according to dynamic process of excess pore water pressure.

The Physicochemical, sensory and cooking properties of functionally fortified rice with dietary fiber and chitosan were compared with regular rice when the rices were cooked with pressure and electric cookers. Moisture content of functional rice before cooking was 11.11%, which was lower than 13.72% in regular rice. Accordingly, moisture contents of functional rice samples cooked both with pressure and electric cookers were lower than those of regular rice. L value showing the degree of lightness of cooked rice was significantly higher in rice samples cooked with pressure cookers. The ${\alpha}$ value, the degree of redness and the b value, the degree of yellowness, were the highest in the functional rice cooked with an electric rice cookers. Textural measurement of hardness using a rheometer showed the highest value in functional rice cooked with a pressure cooker. The degree of gelatinization measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) before cooking showed higher onset gelatinization temperature ($T_0$) and peak gelatinization temperature ($T_p$) in functional rice compared with those in regular rice. The gelatinization enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) of functional rice was lower than that of regular rice, showing that functional foe had lower gelatinization energy compared with regular rice. When the samples were stored in a refrigerator for one week, the DSC showed faster retrogradation degrees in samples cooked with electric rice cooker, having significantly higher enthalpies of regular and functional rice cooked with electric cooked compared to those cooked with pressure cookers. The functional rice samples cooked with pressure cooker had higher consumer acceptance test values compared to those cooked with electric cookers.

The evaluation of thermal and pressure hazard of chemicals on the manufacturing, transporting and storaging is important in the chemical industry for safety. In this study, the thermal decomposition characteristics of intermediate of Saccharin were investigated by using Accelerating Rate Calorimeter(ARC) and Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC). Experimental results showed that decomposition temperatures in p-TSA were about 280~$318^{\circ}C$ by DSC and $201^{\circ}C$ by ARC. In case of o-TSA were about $336^{\circ}C$~$360.8^{\circ}C$ by DSC and $299^{\circ}C$ by ARC. The decomposition temperature acquired by ARC was about $70^{\circ}C$ lower than that by DSC. The exothermic runaway reaction in case of p-TSA occured in 598 minute and o-TSA in 5 minute. For the safety in the chemical industry, we should consider the ARC data as well as DSC data in the handling and design of process.

We have examined In order to compare each other from explosion and combustion characteristics about the dusts which collects from manufacturing process of wheat flour and cosmetics manufacturing process of functional Keratin removal soap at the small and medium enterprise style. We measured explosive pressure and explosive lower limit which follows in change of concentration change at the time of talc addition uses Hartman dust explosion apparatus, also measured weight loss and endothermic quantity uses DSC and TGA. The explosion test results show that increased explosive lower limit concentration and explosive pressure decreased by the increased ratio of the talc dust. And the DSC results show that heat flux and temperature decreased by the increased ratio of the talc dust. Also increased in raising temperature causes initial smoldering temperature to move towards low temperature section and the endothermic quantity increased on a large scale. Together the TGA results show that weight loss decreased by the increased ratio of the talc dust. From this research we have assured the successive dust explosion mechanism study will play a key role as a significant safety securing guideline against the dust explosion.

There are many problems in the prediction of soil dynamic behaviors because undrained excess pore water pressure builds up and then the strain softening behavior is occurred simultaneously. A few analytical methods based on the dynamic constitutive model have been proposed but the model hardly predict the excess pore water pressure directly. In this study, the verification on the disturbed state concept (DSC) model, proposed by Dr, Desai was performed. Some laboratory tests such as conventional triaxial tests and cyclic triaxial tests were carried out to determine DSC Parameters and then disturbance values are determined by the proposed equation. Through this verification, it is proved that the disturbed state concept can express reliably the soil dynamic characteristics such as excess pore water pressure and strain softening behavior. It is also found that the critical disturbance which is determined at the minimum curvature of disturbance function can be a the specific index.

We conducted an isothermal slow cook-off(ISCO) test for an aluminized explosive containing AP. The sample bulged before the run-away reaction, and therefore we were unable to obtain the ISCO data. However, these phenomena did not occur for a certain AP grade, which means that the quality of the AP exerted a significant effect on the thermal stability of the explosive formulation. In this study, we investigated the thermal stability difference between a good and bad AP grade. First, we characterized the thermal properties of all APs by Differential Scanning Calorimeter(DSC) and correlated them to the ISCO phenomena. In addition to the DSC study and ISCO test, we also investigated and calculated the SADT and self-heating rate by the ARC of the different AP qualities to interpret the thermal stability of the explosive formulation. Moreover, we investigated the impurity of the AP and a preparation method to remove the included impurity and crystallization. Finally, we implemented qualification methods to identify the quality of AP by DSC using a high-pressure crucible.
