A governing differential equation (GDE) of PSC flexural member with constant eccentricity considering the long-term losses including concrete creep, shrinkage, and PS steel relaxation is derived based on the two approaches. The first approach utilizes the force and moment equilibrium equations derived based on the geometry of strains of the uniform and curvature strains while the second one utilizes the principle of minimum total potential energy formulation. The identity of the two GDE's is verified by comparing the coefficients consisting of the GDE's. The boundary conditions resulting from the functional analysis of the variational calculus are investigated. Rayleigh-Ritz method provides a way to get the explicit form of the continuous deflection function in which the total potential energy is minimized with respect to the unknown coefficients consisting of the trial functions. As a closure, the analytically calculated results are compared with the experiments and show good agreements.

Hamilton's principle is used to derive Euler-Lagrange equations for free surface flow problems of incompressible ideal fluid. The velocity field is chosen to satisfy the continuity equation a priori. This approach results in a hierarchial set of governing equations consist of two evolution equations with respect to two canonical variables and corresponding boundary value problems. The free surface elevation and the Lagrange's multiplier are the canonical variables in Hamilton's sense. This Lagrange's multiplier is a velocity potential defined on the free surface. Energy is conserved as a consequence of the Hamiltonian structure. These equations can be applied to waves in water of finite depth including generalization of Hamilton's equations given by Miles and Salmon.

Herein the surge-heave-pitch motion of a ship in harbor has been analyzed within the framework of linear potential theory. The ship is assumed to be slender and moored at an arbitrary position in a rectangular harbor with a constant depth. The coast line is assumed to be straight. The ship and harbor responses to incident long waves are represented in terms of Green's function, which is the solution of tole Helmholtz equation satisfying necessary boundary conditions. An integral equation is obtained from matching condition between harbor and ocean solutions, and it is replaced by an equivalent variational form. Numerical results sallow that the ship motion can be highly amplified at the frequencies, where the harbor is resonated by the incident wave. At the resonant frequencies, the added mass for vertical motions becomes negative and the damping forte changes abruptly.

The free surface flow problem has been one of the most interesting and challenging topic in the area of the naval ship hydrodynamics and ocean engineering field. The problem has been treated mainly in the scope of the potential theory and its governing equation is well known Laplace equation. But in general, the exact solution to the problem is very difficult to obtain because of the nonlinearlity of the free surface boundary condition. Thus the linearized free surface problem has been treated often in the past. But as the computational power increases, there is a growing trend to solve the fully nonlinear free surface problem numerically. In the present study, a time-dependent finite element method is developed to solve the problem. The initial-boundary problem is formulated and replaced by an equivalent variational formulation. Specifically, the computations are made for a highly nonlinear flow phenomena behind a transom stern ship and a vertical strut piercing the free surface.

A numerical simultaneous solution involving a linear elastic model was applied to study the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of membrane structures under wind actions, i.e., formulating the fluid-structure system with a single equation system and solving it simultaneously. The linear elastic model was applied to managing the data transfer at the fluid and structure interface. The monolithic equation of the FSI system was formulated by means of variational forms of equations for the fluid, structure and linear elastic model, and was solved by the Newton-Raphson method. Computation procedures of the proposed simultaneous solution are presented. It was applied to computation of flow around an elastic cylinder and a typical FSI problem to verify the validity and accuracy of the method. Then fluid-structure interaction analyses of a saddle membrane structure under wind actions for three typical cases were performed with the method. Wind pressure, wind-induced responses, displacement power spectra, aerodynamic damping and added mass of the membrane structure were computed and analyzed.

We present an improved transfer matrix algorithm which can be used in solving general n-band effective-mass $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ equation for quantum well structures with arbitrary shaped potential profiles(where n specifies the number of bands explicitly included in the effective-mass equation). In the proposed algorithm, specific formulas are presented for the three-band (the conduction band and the two heavy- and light-hole bands) and two-band (the heavy- and light-hole bands) effective-mass eigensystems. Advantages of the present method can be taken in its simple and unified treatment for general $n{\times}n$ matrix envelope-function equations, which requires relatively smaller computation efforts as compared with existing methods of similar kind. As an illustration of application of the method, numerical computations are performed for a single GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well using both the two-band and three-band formulas. The results are compared with those obtained by the conventional variational procedure to assess the validity of the method.

The measurements of nutrient and runoff in 4 streams have been performed before and after the rainfall in order to estimate nutrient loads in the Yongdam reservoir. The equations for the relationship between the flow and the loads in each stream could be estimated by the regression analysis. R2 of TN showed the range from 0.95 to 0.99 and the range of R2 for TP was 0.90~0.95 based on the results of the regression analyses. In 2002, total loadings from the upstream to the Yongdam reservoir were TN 1,175 ton/year, TP 69 ton/year. There were 64.9% of TN and 72.3% of TP during 4 months as the flood season. Due to the rainfall, the load of TP was higher than one of TN in Yongdam reservoir.

We get a theorem which shows the existence of at least six solutions for the semilinear wave equation with nonlinearity crossing three eigenvalues. We obtain this result by the variational reduction method and the geometric mapping defined on the finite dimensional subspace. We use a contraction mapping principle to reduce the problem on the infinite dimensional space to that on the finite dimensional subspace. We construct a three-dimensional subspace with three axes spanned by three eigenvalues and a mapping from the finite dimensional subspace to the one-dimensional subspace.

The object of this research is limited to the reduction of compression process noise only among the main sources of compressor noise such as motor noise, compression process noise, and valve port flow noise. Thus the research is focused on the wave motion rather than the particle motion of sound wave travels. A muffler is a commonly used device to reduce the compression process noise, generated by the pressure pulsations caused by the cyclic compression process. In this research, the acoustic characteristics of the muffler are analyzed by using the normal gradient integral equation proposed by Wu and Wan. Moreover, a commercial code SYSNOISE developed by indirect variational boundary integral equation is also used to validate the results. For the noise reduction, the topology optimization technique using a genetic algorithm is used. The number, size and position of the muffler holes are considered as design variables. Compared with original design, the optimized design has very improved acoustic characteristics. Both numerical and experimental analyses are used to evaluate new design.
