This paper investigates the concrete permeability through a numerical and statistical approach. Concrete is considered as a random heterogeneous composite of three phases: aggregates, interfacial transition zones (ITZ) and matrix. The paper begins with some classical bound and estimate theories applied to concrete permeability and the influence of ITZ on these bound and estimate values is discussed. Numerical samples for permeability analysis are established through random aggregate structure (RAS) scheme, each numerical sample containing randomly distributed aggregates coated with ITZ and dispersed in a homogeneous matrix. The volumetric fraction of aggregates is fixed and the size distribution of aggregates observes Fuller's curve. Then finite element method is used to solve the steady permeation problem on 2D numerical samples and the overall permeability is deduced from flux-pressure relation. The impact of ITZ on overall permeability is analyzed in terms of ITZ width and contrast ratio between ITZ and matrix permeabilities. Hereafter, 3680 samples are generated for 23 sample sizes and 4 contrast ratios, and statistical analysis is performed on the permeability dispersion in terms of sample size and ITZ characteristics. By sample theory, the size of representative volume element (RVE) for permeability is then quantified considering sample realization number and expected error. Concluding remarks are provided for the impact of ITZ on concrete permeability and its statistical characteristics.

In previous work, novel maskless bumping and no-flow underfill technologies for three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) integration were developed. The bumping material, solder bump maker (SBM) composed of resin and solder powder, is designed to form low-volume solder bumps on a through silicon via (TSV) chip for the 3D IC integration through the conventional reflow process. To obtain the optimized volume of solder bumps using the SBM, the effect of the volumetric mixing ratio of resin and solder powder is studied in this paper. A no-flow underfill material named "fluxing underfill" is proposed for a simplified stacking process for the 3D IC integration. It can remove the oxide layer on solder bumps like flux and play a role of an underfill after the stacking process. The bumping process and the stacking process using the SBM and the fluxing underfill, respectively, for the TSV chips are carefully designed so that two-tier stacked TSV chips are sucessfully stacked.

The uncemented breccia consisted of conglomerate and breccia, which are not originated from volcanic clastics, shows wide variation of engineering properties depending on the characteristics of matrix of the uncemented breccia. These uncemented breccia have breccia and matrix irregularly distributed according to their depth and position. Clay minerals are also included in the matrix of these uncemented breccia, so they are expected to show expansive behavior and weakness against weathering process. In this study, the volumetric ratio of breccia on the cores had been calculated using digital image processing technique (performed on recovered core box and their sections). The 3-axial compressional strength test had been done with a shaping of rapid cooling method, and the shear strength (c, ${\phi}$) of uncemented breccia due to the breccia content had been calculated by applying BIMROCK model curve suggested by Goodman. A reliable analysis on the engineering properties of uncemented breccia had been also possible by using borehole density logging and borehole loading test for the accurate determination of the unit weight and the deformation constants deformation modulus.

실내실험을 통해 미고결 셰일의 압밀은 시간 의존적 비복원 점성변형임을 보였다. 점소성 이론과 Cam-clay 이론을 접목하여 미고결 셰일의 구성방정식이 동항복/정항복면의 크기에 대한 지수함수의 형태로 주어짐을 보였으며 이를 통해 크립 변형은 시간에 대한 로그함수의 형태로 구해짐을 보였다. 실험자료와 이론을 비교하여 구성방정식의 물질상수를 규명한 결과 셰일의 항복점은 변형속도가 10배 증가함에 따라 약 6%의 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 실내 변형속도 조건에서 규명한 셰일의 물성(항복점, 공극률)을 실제 현장 변형속도 조건에 적용시에 상당한 오차를 유발할 수 있음을 시사한다.

The effect of nozzle characterristics on the mist-cooling heat transfer was investigated under the various flow conditions. Two different types of twin fluid nozzle were used, one is a $90^{\circ}$ angle tip nozzle with needle and the other is a $90^{\circ}$ angle tip non-needle nozzle. The cooling rate from the heated surface was measured and obtained the boiling curve as a function of surface temperature. An immersion sampling was employed for the measurement of droplet size of the spray. As a result of this experiment, the liquid sheet type nozzle shows better atomization when the mass ratio Mr>2.0, and collects more liquid droplets on the heated surface that results in better cooling effect. It was found that the maximum heat flux and heat transfer coefficient increased with increase in the volumetric flow rate, whereas the maximum heat flux decreased with increase in spray distance. The cooling effect depends upon the amount of collected droplet and droplet size, but it strongly depends upon the amount of collected droplet.

The inelastic behavior of a reinforced concrete columns is influenced by a number of factors : 1) level of axial load, 2) tie spacing, 3) volumetric ratio of lateral steel, 4) concrete strength, 5) distribution of longitudinal steel, 6) strength of lateral steel, 7) cover thickness, 8) configuration of lateral steel, 9) strain gradient, 10) strain rate, 11) the effectively confined concrete core area, and 12) amount of longitudinal steel. A new constitutive model of a confined concrete is suggested in order to investigate the nonlinear behavior of the reinforced concrete columns under concentric loading. The developed constitutive model for the confined concrete takes into account the effects of effectively confined area as well as the horizontal and longitudinal distributions of the confining pressures. None of the existing models incorporated these two main effects at the same time. A total of different six constitutive models for the behavior of the confined concrete under concentric compression were compared with the sixty-one test results reported by different researchers. The superiority of the developed model in its accuracy is demonstrated by evaluating the error function, which compares the weighted averages for the sum of squared relative differences in peak compressive strength and corresponding strain, stress at strain equal to 0.015, and total area under stress-strain curve up to strain equal to 0.015.

Glass systems based on Ca, Sr, Ba, and Zn modified alumino-boro silicates were investigated in order to improve the dielectric and mechanical properties of a typical LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) which was developed for high frequency highly-integrated modules. The glass was prepared by a typical melting procedure and then mixed with cordierite fillers to fabricate glass/ceramic composite-type LTCC materials. The amount of cordierite filler was fixed at 50 volumetric%. For an optimal glass composition of 7.5% CaO, 7.5% BaO, 5% ZnO, 10% $Al_2O_3$, 30% $B_2O_3$, and 40% $SiO_2$ in mole ratio, the resultant LTCC composite showed a dielectric constant of 5.8 and a dielectric loss ($tan{\delta}$) of 0.0009 after firing at $900^{\circ}C$. An average bending strength of 160MPa was obtained for the optimal composition.

As an automobile fuel, LPG has many environmental advantages compared to gasoline or diesel. However, current LPG engine which is provided with LPG fuel as gas form has lower power and worse fuel efficiency than gasoline engine. These problems of low power and bad fuel efficiency come from lower volumetric efficiency. Also there is a new rising problem of high failure ratio in an engine emission test. Although there are many factors which affect engine performance of exhaust gas emission, one believes that the fact that ECM of gasoline engine is used for LPG engine when retrofitting gasoline engine to LPG engine is one of the main problems, which lower engine power and emit more noxious gas due to wrong ignition timing. To solve these problems, one studied the effects of ignition timing on the exhaust gas to find out the optimum condition of ignition timing. The experimental results show that noxious exhaust gas is reduced and engine power is increased if the optimum control of ignition timing is applied in accordance to the revolution speed of engine.

Rhodococcus rhodochrous IGTSS (ATCC 5396S) can break organo sulfur compounds such as dibenzothiophene. Since the environment for biodesulfurization process is invariably hydrophobic, parameters in hydrophobic systems should be examined. For the model oil, hexadecane-containing 5.43mM dibenzothiophene, the volumetric desulfurization rate was decreased with the oil-to-aqueous phase ratio up to 50%. The rate declined sharply after 48h because the cell activity, which is refreshed by medium exchange, was lost. To supply the exhausted nutrients, medium exchange was performed. At 30% oil phase, most of DBT was removed by medium exchange on 48h, and the rate was 2.03mg $DBT_{removed}/L_{dispersion}-hr.$ At 50% oil phase, medium exchange on 60h was performed and the rate was 1.79mg $DBT_{removed}/L_{dispersion}-hr.$ The 300mL flask system was scaled up to a 5-L bioreactor system. On 60 h, a medium exchange was performed and the rate was 5.28mg $DBT_{removed}/L_{dispersion}-hr.$ and all of DBT was removed. It means that we can use the biodesulfurization process even 10 the high oil-to-water phase by some appropriate methods such as controlled feeding of key nutrients and the dilution or removal of some toxic metabolites by continuous reactor.

액체추진제 추력기 인젝터로부터 발생하는 분무의 분열과 확산거동을 파악하기 위해 이중모드 위상 도플러속도계(DPDA)를 사용하여 분무액적의 준3차원적 공간분포를 계측하고 도시한다. 분무는 27.6 bar의 분사압력 조건에서 길이-직경비가 1.67인 노즐 오리피스로부터 지면에 수직으로 분사된다. 분무 액적의 수직 및 수평방향 평균속도, SMD, 그리고 체적유속은 분무의 상류/중심에서 하류/외곽으로 이동함에 따라 분무분열에 의해 그 크기가 감소한다. 분무특성 인자들의 대칭적 분포 경향에도 불구하고 그들의 절대값은 노즐 오리피스 중심축을 기준으로 대칭이 아니다.
