Pulse waves continuously change with respect to the characteristics and status of the cardiovascular system and in relation to the blood pressure (BP) and the pulse wave velocity (PWV). Monitoring the vascular condition by analyzing the variations in pulse waveforms has been used to diagnose vascular disorders and in drug treatment of arteriosclerosis and peripheral circulatory obstruction. In this paper, we investigated the vascular characteristic index with regard to the BP and classified by pulse wave signals. The pressure pulse wave and photoplethysmography (PPG) were measured simultaneously while subjects exercised, producing changes in the BP, to analyze the variation in the vascular characteristic index. We investigated the correlation between the BP and vascular characteristic index with regard to the classification methods of the pulse wave. The reflection index (RI) and vascular stiffness index were correlated with the diastolic BP, but no correlation was found between these parameters and the systolic BP. These results suggest the possibility of estimating BP through simple measurements of pulse waves.

This paper presents an analytical study of wave propagation in simply supported graduated functional plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation (Pasternak model) using a new theory of high order shear strain. Unlike other higher order theories, the number of unknowns and governing equations of the present theory is only four unknown displacement functions, which is even lower than the theory of first order shear deformation (FSDT). Unlike other elements, the present work includes a new field of motion, which introduces indeterminate integral variables. The properties of the materials are assumed to be ordered in the thickness direction according to the two power law distributions in terms of volume fractions of the constituents. The wave propagation equations in FG plates are derived using the principle of virtual displacements. The analytical dispersion relation of the FG plate is obtained by solving an eigenvalue problem. Numerical examples selected from the literature are illustrated. A good agreement is obtained between the numerical results of the current theory and those of reference. A parametric study is presented to examine the effect of material gradation, thickness ratio and elastic foundation on the free vibration and phase velocity of the FG plate.

Single-orifice plate is wildly utilized in the piping system of the nuclear power plant to throttle and depressurize the fluid of the pipeline. The cavitation induced by the single-orifice plate may cause some serious vibration of the pipeline. This study aims to find the optimal designs of the single-orifice plates that may have weak cavitation possibilities. For this purpose, a new single-orifice plate with a convergent-flat-divergent hole was modeled, a multi-objective optimization method was proposed to optimize the shape of a single-orifice plate, while computational fluid dynamics method was adopted to obtain the fluid physical quantities. The reciprocal cavitation number and the developmental integral were treated as cavitation indexes (e.g., objectives for the optimization algorithm). Two non-dominant designs ultimately achieved illustrated obvious reduction in the cavitation indexes at a Reynolds number Re = 1 ×10⁵ defined based on fluid velocity. Besides, the sensitivity analysis and temperature effects were also performed. The results indicated that the convergent angle of the single-orifice plate dominants the cavitation behavior globally. The optimal designs of single-orifice plates result in lower downstream jet areas and lower upstream pressure. For a constant Reynolds number, the higher temperature of liquid water, the easier it is to undergo cavitation. Whereas there is a diametric phenomenon for a constant fluid velocity. Moreover, the regression models were carried out to establish the mathematical relation between temperature and cavitation indexes.

하천의 합류부는 물의 흐름에 변화가 생겨 수면 변화가 상류에 미치는 배수현상이 나타난다. 또한 한강과 평창강이 만나는 영월 지역의 경우 각 유역 면적이 비슷하기 때문에 홍수 사상에 따라 상호 배수 영향을 주어 수위에 영향을 준다. 그러므로 배수영향기간에는 하천 유량을 산정하는 기존 방법인 수위-유량관계곡선(stage-discharge relation curve)을 이용한 환산 유량은 실제 측정 유량과 차이가 있고, 연속적으로 유속을 직접 측정하여 얻은 유속과 평균유속 간의 관계를 이용한 지표유속법(index velocity method)의 적용에 대한 적절성을 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 강우 사상에 따른 영월군(영월대교) 지점, 영월군(팔괴교) 지점 간 기간별 상호 배수 영향을 검토하여 수위-유량관계곡선식 및 지표유속법을 비교·적용 하였고, 기간별 상하류 유량관계 및 총 유출량 분석을 실시하여 유량산정에 대한 적절성을 검토하였다. 배수 영향 발생 시 지표유속법을 이용하여 산정된 유량을 적용한 결과 상하류 유량 관계 및 총 유출량이 적절한 것으로 확인되었고, 배수 영향 기간에는 지표유속법을 활용하여 유량을 산정하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석되었다.

We present the discovery of rare active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in nearby (z<0.05) compact elliptical galaxies (cEs) located in isolated environments. Using spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 12, four AGNs were identified based on the optical emission-line diagnostic diagram. SDSS optical spectra of AGNs show the presence of distinct narrow-line emissions. Utilizing the black hole (BH) mass-stellar velocity dispersion scaling relation and the correlation between the narrow L([OIII])/L(Hβ) line ratio and the width of the broad Hα emission line, we estimated the BH masses of the cEs to be in the range of 7×10⁵-8×10⁷ solar mass. The observed surface brightness profiles of the cEs were fitted with a double Sérsic function using the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey r-band imaging data. Assuming the inner component as the bulge, the K-band bulge luminosity was also estimated from the corresponding Two Micron All Sky Survey images. We found that our cEs follow the observed BH mass-stellar velocity dispersion and BH mass-bulge luminosity scaling relations, albeit there was a large uncertainty in the derived BH mass of one cE. In view of the observational properties of BHs and those of the stellar populations of cEs, we discuss the proposition that cEs in isolated environments are bona fide low-mass early-type galaxies (i.e., a nature origin).

본류와 지류가 만나는 하천의 합류부는 물의 흐름에 변화가 생겨 수면 변화가 상류에 미치는 배수현상이 나타난다. 또한 한강과 평창강이 만나는 영월 지역의 경우 각 유역 면적이 비슷하기 때문에 홍수 사상에 따라 상호 배수 영향을 주어 상류 수위에 영향을 준다. 그러므로 하천 유량을 산정하는 기존 방법인 수위-유량관계곡선(stage-discharge relation curve)을 이용한 환산 유량은 실제 측정 유량과 차이가 있다. 본 연구에서는 2021년 강우 사상에 따른 영월군(영월대교) 지점, 영월군(팔괴교) 지점 간 수위관측소 수위 비교, 각 지점의 수위관측소 수위와 유량관측소 수위 비교, 각 지점의 수위-지표유속관계를 분석하여 기간별 상호 배수 영향을 검토하였고, 연속적으로 유속을 직접 측정하여 얻은 유속과 평균유속 간의 관계를 이용한 지표유속법(index velocity method)의 적용을 검토하였다. 검토 결과 배수 영향 발생 시 지표유속법을 이용하여 산정된 유량과 수위-유량관계곡선식으로 산정된 유량 간의 차이가 발생하였고, 배수 영향 기간에는 지표유속법을 활용하여 유량을 산정하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석되었다.

Based on the nonlocal strain gradient (NSG) theory and considering the influence of moment of inertia, the governing equations of motion of porous functionally graded (FG) nanoplates with four edges clamped are established; The Galerkin method is applied to eliminate the spatial variables of the partial differential equation, and the partial differential governing equation is transformed into an ordinary differential equation with time variables. By satisfying the boundary conditions and solving the characteristic equation, the dispersion relations of the porous FG strain gradient nanoplates with four edges fixed are obtained. It is found that when the wave number is very small, the influences of nonlocal parameters and strain gradient parameters on the dispersion relation is very small. However, when the wave number is large, it has a great influence on the group velocity and phase velocity. The nonlocal parameter represents the effect of stiffness softening, and the strain gradient parameter represents the effect of stiffness strengthening. In addition, we also study the influence of power law index parameter and porosity on guided wave propagation.

The production of fine wire through multi-pass wet wire drawing process would be impossible with no backtension at inlet of dies. Backtension is affected by many process parameters, such as dies reduction, coiling number of wire at capstan, machine constant, slip between wire and capstan, characteristic of lubricant and so on. Up to date, dies design and dies pass schedule of multi-pass wet wire drawing process have performed by trial and error of expert in the Industrial field without consideration of quantitative relation among process variables. Thus study investigates the multi-pass wet wire drawing process considering the relation among process variables, such as dies reduction, coiling number of wire at capstan, machine constant, slip between wire and capstan, etc. And analysis program which can analyze many important process values(drawing force, backtension force, slip rate, slip velocity rate, etc) for die design and dies pass schedule of multi-pass wet wire drawing process was developed.

In this paper, a parallel manipulator is comprised of two sliders and four links. Sliders execute a linear reciprocating motion depending on parallel guides and make the connected links rotate. A couple of links connected by sliders do coupling motion. The end-effector called a link tip has orientation angle. Through the kinematics analysis of this manipulator, we found displacement, velocity and acceleration using direct and inverse kinematics. We used equations that derived from this analysis and determined five constraint conditions. These conditions had much to do with rotation states of links, the relative relation of link length and coupling motion state. To verify those, we suggest a new algorithm regarding constraint conditions of a manipulator. With the result which performed the algorithm, we found out that operation range of coupled links was limited by relative relation of link length and that manipulator was not able to carry out a series of link motion, in case of being the link vertical between two parallel guides.
