The purpose of this study is to investigate the flexural behavior and plastic hinge of reinforced concrete-ECC composite beams. Ordinary portland cement was used as a binder, and high volume fly ash was also used to improve the properties of ECC. An ECC designed in this study showed high tensile strain capacity of 3.0%. Three types of beams were manufactured according to the replacement length of concrete with ECC. From the bending tests, it was found that load-bearing capacity as well as ductility of beam increased with an increase in the replacement length of concrete with ECC. Curvature ductility and plastic hinge length of beam were also increased.

호안은 유수의 침입으로부터 제방 및 하안의 침식 피해를 방지하기 위해 제방에 설치되는 구조물이다. 침식에 의한 제방 및 호안의 대표적인 붕괴특성 중에는 만곡부, 하천 급경사, 지형의 간섭효과 등이 있다. 특히, 만곡부는 원심력, 2차류 등에 의한 수위상승 및 유속증가로 제체에 응력 집중이 발생되어 안정성 저하를 유발할 수 있다. 또한, 만곡부의 흐름 방향전환 현상은 하도내 통수능 저하를 발생시켜 홍수피해를 가중시킬 수 있다. 따라서 하천특성상 만곡부에 의해 발생할 수 있는 홍수피해 요소를 저감시킬 수 있도록 적합한 피해저감대책을 마련할 필요가 있다. 제방의 보강대책으로서 활용되고 있는 호안은 역학적인 측면에서 외력과 저항력의 크기에 따라 안정성이 평가되어야 하며 지역여건 등에 따른 만곡부의 수위상승 및 제방 침식 등을 고려한 설계가 수행되어야 한다. 국내 실무에서 적용되고 있는 호안설계방법은 하천설계기준 해설(2009)을 참고하고 있는데, 흐름현상 및 만곡부 특성 등에 대하여 경험과 이론의 양면을 고려한 설계를 수행하도록 제안하고 있다. 이는 호안 안정성에 대한 역학적 검토 방법의 한계로 비합리적 설계가 될 우려가 있다. 따라서 만곡부에 의한 유속 및 소류력 등 흐름특성을 고려한 정량적인 평가기법이 요구되는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 수리실험을 통해 만곡에 의한 흐름영향과 수리학적 거동 및 설계요소를 파악하고자 만곡부에 사석호안공을 설치하여 흐름전환 및 유속변화에 따른 사석호안공의 이탈현상을 재현하였다. 실험수로는 곡률반경( )이 4.5 m인 만곡부가 3개소 발생하는 폭 2.3 m, 길이 25 m의 다중 사행수로 형태이다. 실험수로 우안의 1V:2H 경사면에 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mm 사석을 크기별로 설치하여 만곡에 의한 유속변화 등 흐름현상과 호안공 이탈을 관찰하였다. 수리실험은 고정상으로 수행되었으며 정상류 흐름조건에서 공급유량별 하류단 수위 조절을 통해 만곡부내 호안 공 이탈을 발생시키는 설계인자를 도출하고자 유속과 수심을 측정하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 사석호안공 설계시 1차원 접근유속에 만곡 영향을 고려하여 대표유속으로 적용하는 방법의 특성을 파악하고, 사석호안공의 이탈유속과 만곡에 의한 흐름특성간의 상관관계를 분석하여 제원결정기법을 제안하였다.

This study was focused on developing an optical sensor that monitors ultraviolet (UV) light. Recently, we proposed and demonstrated a novel, highly sensitive UV sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). To ensure that the incident UV light is focused on the FBG surface, the sensor was coated with an azobenzene polymer material that acts as a UV-induced stretchable functional material, in combination with a cylindrical focal lens. In this study we have improved the sensitivity of the sensor by employing a cylindrical focal mirror as a curved reflector, to refocus the UV light passing through the FBG. We considered the performance of several different types of reflectors and chose the optimal radius of curvature for the reflector. Compared to the UV sensor without an auxiliary device, the sensitivity of the FBG sensor with a focal lens and a curved reflector was 15 times as high.

Head-up displays for vehicles play an important role in displaying various information about the safety and convenience of driving on the windshield of the vehicle. In this study, ultra-precision machining was performed and evaluated as a method for machining a large-area aspheric free-form mirror that is applicable to augmented reality technology. Precision diamond cutting is highly accurate and suitable for the production of advanced parts with excellent surface integrity, low surface roughness, and low residual stress. By using an aspheric free-form mold, it is possible to improve the optical transfer function, reduce the distortion path, and realize a special image field curvature. To make such a mold, the diamond cutting method was used, and the result was evaluated using an aspherical shape-measuring machine. As a result, it was possible to the mold with shape accuracy (PV) below $1{\mu}m$ and surface roughness (Ra) below $0.02{\mu}m$.

A flight training simulator of a fully spherical configuration is being developed to precisely and quickly control six degrees of freedom (Dof) motions especially with unlimited rotations. The full-scale simulator should be designed with a lightweight material to reduce inertial effects for fast and stable feedback controls while no structural failure is ensured during operations. In this study, a sandwich composite consisting of glass fiber reinforced plastics and a foam core is used to obtain high specific strengths and specific stiffnesses. T-type stainless steel frames are inserted to minimize the deformation of the sphere curvature. Finite element analysis is carried out to evaluate structural safety of the simulator composed of the sandwich sphere and steel frames. The analysis considers the weights of the equipment and trainee and it is assumed to be 200 kg. Gravity acceleration is also considered. The stresses and displacement acting on the simulator are calculated and the safety is assessed under two different situations.

Typical Mn-SnO₂/Ag/Mn-SnO₂ tri-layer films were prepared on a PET substrate by RF/DC magnetron sputtering method at room temperature. Based on EMP simulation, the thicknesses of the top and bottom Mn-doped SnO₂ layers were kept at 40 nm and the Ag layer was maintained at 13 nm for continuous electrical conduction. The experimentally measured optical transmittances at 550 nm wavelength were ranged from 82.9 to 88.1 % and sheet resistances were varied from 5.9 to 6.9 Ω/☐. The highest value of figure of merit, ϕ_TC was 48.1 × 10^-3 Ω^-1. Based on bending test under 4 and 5 mm of inner and outer curvature radius condition, tri-layer film resistance varies only by approximately 1.5 % after 10,000 bending cycles, showing excellent mechanical flexibility.

In order to obtain high resolution images, a focusing ultrasonic transducer operated in very high frequency (VHF) range was fabricated and its characteristics were evaluated. A 9-${\mu}m$ thick PVDF film with only one metalized surface for electric ground was adhered to a CCP (Copper-clad polyimide) film by using epoxy. It was pressed by a metal ball to form a concave surface and its rear side was filled with the epoxy. The radius of curvature and the f-number of the fabricated transducer are 7.5 mm and 1.7, respectively. The pulse-echo measurement results from a target located at the focal point showed that the frequency bandwidth was 35.0 MHz and the insertion loss near the peak frequency of approximately 40 MHz was about 60 dB. Those values agreed well with the simulation results by the KLM equivalent circuit analysis including the effect of the epoxy bonding layer. When the image of thin copper lines by the 35 MHz transducer of the UBM (Ultrasonic Backscattering Microscope) system was compared with the image by the transducer fabricated in this study, the fabricated transducer was observed that the axial resolution was improved although the lateral resolution was degraded.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between axial length (AL) and anthropometric parameters in Korean children. Methods: This study included 40 urban school children aged 11-12 years (mean age, $11.95{\pm}0.22$ years; 45.0% girls) residing in Seoul, South Korea. AL (using partial coherence laser interferometry), corneal radius, refractive error, height (m), and weight (kg) were measured. Body mass index (BMI $[kg/m^2]=weight/[height]^2$) and degree of obesity (DO[%]=[actual weight standard weight]/standard weight) were calculated. Furthermore, the number of hours spent reading, watching television, and using a computer every day was determined using a detailed questionnaire. Results: The students had a mean spherical equivalent refraction of $1.06{\pm}0.84$ D. Weight (r=0.427, p=0.006), BMI (r=0.508, p=0.001), and DO (r=0.371, p=0.018) showed a significant positive correlation with AL. Furthermore, longer AL was significantly associated with heavier weight (p=0.041), and higher BMI (p=0.015), and higher DO quartiles (p=0.042). After adjust for age, sex, and near-work activities, multivariate linear regression models showed that weight, BMI, and DO were still significantly associated with AL. Among the near-work activities, daily reading time was significantly associated with AL. Conclusions: AL was positively related to weight as well as daily reading time in Korean urban school children.

The member deflection is one of the most important considerations for the serviceability evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, and the concept of the effective moment of inertia has been generally used for its estimation. However, the actual service load applied on an existing RC beam may not be easily obtained, for which the estimation of beam deflection by existing methods can be difficult work. Therefore, based on the close relationships between cracks and deflection in a RC beam, this study proposed a method to estimate the deflection of RC beams directly from the condition of cracks not using the actual loads acting on the member as its input data. The proposed method extensively utilized the relationships among sums of crack widths, average strains, and curvatures, and modification factors obtained from regression analysis were also introduced to improve its accuracy. The deflections of members were successfully estimated by the proposed method independent from applied loads, which was also easy to apply compared to the existing methods based on the effective moment of inertia. This new method, however, has limitations in its applicability in that it is less accurate than the existing methods because the magnitude of acting load is not involved in the estimation process of member deflection, and that it requires the measurement of crack widths along the whole length of a member.
