This paper deals with the procedure and the results on the dynamic loading tests of two large diameter - long drilled shafts (diameter=2.0m, length=75m) which were embedded into weathered rocks through thick soft marine clays and sandy gravels. Prior to the real dynamic loading test, the numerical simulation for the test procedure was performed to check the structural stability of the main pile body using equivalent static elastic analysis and the application of the hammer system using WEAP (Wave Equation Analysis of Pile Driving). Through these preliminary analyses the dynamic loading tests on large diameter - long drilled shafts have been successfully achieved.

The technology of wire explosion have been used to product nanopowders. A new concept was proposed to produce metallic nanosized powders, which is wire explosion in liquid media. We have exploded the Ag or Cu wires of diameter of O.3mm, 40mm long, in the de-ionized water or acetone, respectively. Electrical energy of 1.1kJ was stored in 10uF capacitor and released to the wires through a triggered spark gap switch. The process was observed by high-speed camera. Those images showed that the powders were generated by vapor condensation in the shell formed by shock wave in the water. The particles were directly dispersed into the water with collapse of the shell. The sizes of Ag and Cu nanopowders were evaluated to 35nm and 17nm, respectively.

Magnetic fields correlated on several kiloparsec scales are seen in spiral galaxies. Their origin could be due to the winding up of a primordial cosmological field or due to amplification of a small seed field by a turbulent galactic dynamo. Both options have difficulties: There is no known battery mechanism for producing the required primordial field. Equally the turbulent dynamo may self destruct before being able to produce the large scale field, due to excess generation of small scale power. The current status of these difficulties is discussed. The resolution could depend on the nature of the saturated field produced by the small scale dynamo. We argue that the small scale fields do not fill most of the volume of the fluid and instead concentrate into intermittent ropes, with their peak value of order equipartition fields, and radii much smaller than their lengths. In this case these fields neither drain significant energy from the turbulence nor convert eddy motion of the turbulence on the outer scale to wave like motion. This preserves the diffusive effects needed for the large scale dynamo operation.

The phenomena called "combustion instabilities" in a solid-propellant rocket motor may be viewed as sustaining or amplifying pressure waves. Energy is supplied by combustion processes near the surface of the burning propellant. T-burner method is used to determine the response function of the propellant to the pressure wave. But initial tests were failed because of the Helmholtz resonation inside the T-burner. Acoustic analysis of the original T-burner is carried out and suppression techniques for the Helmholtz oscillation are introduced.ntroduced.

Density currents formed by buoyancy discharges from rivers are numerically studied using non-dimensional two layer model including Coriolis acceleration, bottom stress, interfacial friction. Some typical numbers such as Froude number, densimetric Froude number and Kelvin number are obtained and some characteristic scales are defined as a result of non-dimensionalization of the governing equations. Besides the Coriolis effect, the configurations of bottom topography, bottom friction coefficient and interfacial friction are found to significantly affect the propagation of the warm water plume. Frontal position can fastly propagate in the case of large density difference between the two layers and small interfacial friction. Left side boundary current is easily formed under the small interfacial friction. With large Kelvin number, both right and left side boundary currents are formed. Wave-like disturbances and eddies are easily formed under the high Froude number.

Theoretical analysis of noise reduction by a membrane-duct system is presented. When acorn waves propagate in the membrane-duct, the membrane is also excited and its motion is coup with interior medium. It has been shown that propagating waves with supersonic wave speed exist beyond a certain critical frequency that is determined from the mass ratio of the me and the fluid. Also found are subsonic waves which couple strongly wi th the membrane a provide a powerful mechanism of energy dissipation. Existence of an exterior medium alter dispersion characteristics. It provides additional mass loading and reduces the subsort speed further. The effect of mean flow speed on dispersion characteristics is also consider results show that the membrane-duct system can be applied to diminish and absorb 1 frequency noise in duct instead of passive muffler, such as a simple expansion chamber absorption material.

The continuous Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) has been utilized as a useful time-frequency analysis tool to identify the rapidly-varying characteristics of some wave signals. In the application of GWT, it is important to select the Gabor wavelet with the optimal shape factor by which the time-frequency distribution of a signal can be accurately estimated. To find the signal-dependent optimal Gator wavelet shape factor, the notion of the Shannon entropy which measures the extent of signal energy concentration in the time-frequency plane is employed.

보로 이루어진 복합구조물의 진동 에너지밀도와 파워를 구하기 위하여 파워흐름해 석법을 수행하였다. 복합구조물인 연성보에서는 구조 연결점에서의 파동변환에 따라 굽힘파, 종파, 비틀림파가 존재한다. 구조연결점에서 파동들의 파워투과와 반사를 고려하기 위해서는 파동전달법을 도입하였다. 이러한 파워흐름해석법을 이용하여 연성보에서 발생하는 열러 특 성의 파동들이 전달하는 에너지밀도와 파워의 공간적 분포 값을 엄밀해와 비교하였다. 결과 로써 파워흐름해석법은 고주파수영역에서 진동하는 연성보의 진동에너지와 파워의 공간적 분포를 예측하기 위해서 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 파워흐름해석법의 중주파 수 영역에서의 적용 가능성에 대해 검토하였다.

We have developed a rotating compensator spectroscopic ellipsometer (RCSE). As the ellipsometry measures a change in the polarization state of a light wave upon non-normal reflection from surface, the degree of sensitivity is enhanced greatly through the detection of relative phase change. RCSE acquires additional information from the non-ideal surface of sample and operates over the photon energy range from 1.5 to 4.5 eV. We applied RCSE to measure the optical properties of films and the line-width of patterned PR films on crystalline silicon.

Using an oedometer cell instrumented to measure the evolution of electromagnetic properties, small strain stiffness, and temperature, we conducted consolidation tests on four types of sediments. The tested specimens include sediments with different gas hydrate saturation at four stages of loading. The test results show that the electromagnetic and mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing marine sediments are governed by the vertical effective stress, stress history, porosity, hydrate saturation, fabric, ionic concentration of the pore fluid, and temperature. The results also show that permittivity and electrical conductivity data can be combined to estimate hydrate volume fraction in laboratory sediments, methodology that might eventually be extended for estimation of hydrate concentrations in field settings.
