A magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck the city of Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea on November 15, 2017. Many sand volcanoes were observed on paddy fields, parks and roads. This phenomenon was the first to be observed as a sign of soil liquefaction in South Korea. In this study, two different kinds of ejected Pohang sands were collected from a liquefied paddy field. Those sands were reconstituted into loose and dense conditions and then a series of cyclic simple shear tests were conducted under confining stresses of 100 and 200 kPa. A real earthquake motion was also repetitively applied to the specimen. As a result of constant shear stress tests, the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) of loose sand was 0.12-0.14, while the CRR value of dense sand was 0.17-0.21. It was shown that the relative density was more influencing factor on liquefaction resistance than the sand types and initial confining stress. When a real Pohang earthquake motion was repetitively applied to the specimen, a loose sand was liquefied at the second earthquake motion but the dense sand at the third earthquake motion.

Separated flows passed complex geometries are modeled by discrete vortex techniques. The flows are assumed to be rotational and inviscid, and a new techlnique is described to determine the stream functions for linear shear profiles. The geometries considered are the snow cornice and the backward-facing step, whose edges allow for the separation of the flow and reattachment downstream of the recirculation regions. A point vortex has been added to the flows in order to constrain the separation points to be located at the edges, while the conformal mappings have been modified in order to smooth the sharp edges and to let the separation points free to oscillate around the points of maximum curvature. Unsteadiness is imposed to the flow by perturbing the vortex location, either by displacing the vortex from the equilibrium, or by imposing a random perturbation with zero mean to the vortex in equilibrium. The trajectories of passive scalars continuously released upwind of the separation point and trapped by the recirculating bubble are numerically integrated, and concentration time series are calculated at fixed locations downwind of the reattachment points. This model proves to be capable of reproducing the trapping and intermittent release of scalars, in agreement with the simulation of the flow passed a snow cornice performed by a discrete multi-vortex model, as well as with direct numerical simulations of the flow passed a backward-facing step. The results of simulation indicate that for flows undergoing separation and reattachment the unsteadiness of the recirculating bubble is the main mechanism responsible for the intense large-scale concentration fluctuations downstream.

The composition of most engineering materials is heterogeneous at some degree. It is simply a question of scale at which the level of heterogeneity becomes apparent. In the case of cementitious granular materials such as concrete the heterogeneity appears at the mesoscale where it is comprised of aggregate particles, a hardened cement paste and voids. Since it is difficult to consider each separate particle in the topological description explicitly, numerical models of the meso-structure are normally confined to two-phase matrix particle composites in which only the larger inclusions are accounted for. 2-D and 3-D concrete blocks(Representative Volume Element, RVE) are used to simulating heterogeneous concrete meso-structures in the form of aggregates in the hardened mortar with nearly zero-thickness linear or planar interfaces. The numerical sensitivity of these meso-structures are Investigated with respect to the different morphologies of heterogeneity and the different level of coupling constant among fracture mode I, II and III. In addition, a numerically homogenized concrete block in 3-D using Hashin-Shtrikman variational bounds provides an evidence of the effective cracking paths which are quite different with those of heterogenous concrete block. However, their average force-displacement relationship show a pretty close match each other.

Particle-in-cell method which blends Eulerian grids and Lagrangian particle is utilized to solve simplified hall-effect thruster. Since this study individually tracks not only neutrons and ions but also electrons, message passing interface(mpi) scheme is adopted for parallel computer cluster. Helical movement of an electron cloud in constant magnetic field is validated comparing with an exact solution. A plasma in radial magnetic field and axial electric field in a reaction cylinder is established. Electrons do double helix movement and are well anchored in a cylinder. Ionization of neutrons by impact with high-speed electrons generates ion particles. They are accelerated by axial electric field, which forms a plume of a plasma-effect thruster.

A series of torsion shear tests were performed to study the strength characteristics of sand under various stress paths during rotation of principal stress. These results can be classified into two groups of 25cm and 40cm according to the height of specimen, and toy que was applied only in the clockwise direction. In this study, strength characteristics of sand for the principal stress ratio in torsion sheartests were investigated and their results were compared with Lade's failure criterion. And the effect for specimen was considered. From the results of tests, friction angle of sand was affected by the deviatoric principal stress ratio $b:(\sigma_2 -\sigma_s)/(\sigma_2, -\sigma_3)$Failure strength of sand was determined not by the stress paths but by the current stress state. From comparison of specimens on 25cm and 40cm height, effect of end restraint could not be found. In the test where b is over 0.5 due to extension force, necking phenomenon by the strain localization was found.

ZnO 박막은 대칭 육방정계(hexagonal) wurtzite-type crystal로써 결정구조에서의 이방성, 비화학양론 결합구조와 다양한 전기적, 광학적 그리고 타성파적 성질 때문에 현재 여러 응용분양에서 각광을 받고 있는 재료 중의 하나이다. 이러한 특성을 갖는 ZnO 박막은 결정학적으로 기판에 수직인 c-축 우선방위현상(preferred orientation)을 나타내며 압전 특성을 이용하여 응용을 할 경우 이 c-축 우선방위현상에 따라 압전 특성에 큰 차이가 있으며 ZnO 박막의 형성 조건에 의해 c-축 우성배향성은 큰 차이가 있다. 특히 스퍼터법을 이용하여 ZnO 박막을 형성하는 경우에는 투입전력, 기판온도, 분위기 가스압력, 타겟간 거리등의 증착조건에 의해 결정학적 및 전기적 특성이 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 결정학적으로 양호하며 고품위의 특성을 갖는 ZnO 박막을 제작하기 위해서는 최적의 증착조건을 확립하여 ZnO 박막을 제작할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 대향 타겟식 스퍼터장치는 두 개의 타겟이 서로 마주보게 배치되어 있고 양 타겟에 수직으로 분포하고 있는 자계가 ${\gamma}$-전자를 구속하게 되어 고밀도의 플라즈마를 형성할 수가 있다. 따라서 10-4Torr에서도 안정한 방전을 유지할 수가 있으며 기판의 위치가 플라즈마로부터 이격되어 (plasma-free)있는 위치에 있기 때문에 플라즈마내의 높은 에너지를 갖는 입자들의 기판충돌을 최대한 억제하여 고품위의ZnO 박막을 제작할 수가 있다. 이러한 특징을 갖는 대향타겟식스퍼터장치를 이용하여 본 연구에서는 비정질 slide glass를 기판으로 하여 ZnO 박막을 증착하였으며 XRD(X-ray Diffractometer)를 이용하여 증착된 ZnO 박막의 결정학적 특성을 측정하였다. ZnO 박막은 산소 가스압력과 기판온도, 인가 전류를 변화시켜가며 증착하였으며 이에 따른 박막의 결정성 변화를 알아보았다. 기판온도를 실온에서 점차 증가시켜나가면 $\Delta$$\theta$50은 급격히 감소하며 30$0^{\circ}C$에서는 결정성이 우수한 막을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 산소 가스 압력이 0.5~1mTorr에서 $\Delta$$\theta$50은 양호한 값을 나타내었지만 그 이상에서는 c-축 배향성이 나빠짐을 확인하였다. 따라서 대향타겟식스퍼터 장치를 이용하여 ZnO 박막을 증착시 가스압력 0.5~1mTorr, 기판온도 20$0^{\circ}C$이상의 막 제작조건에서 결정성이 우수하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Centrifuge tests have shown that a uniformly placed sand layer will first initiate liquefaction near the surface and that liquefaction will progress downward during shaking. This appears to be in conflict with the overburden stress effect on soil liquefaction (i.e., $K_0$ effect) observed in laboratory testing. This discrepancy can be explained by stress-induced densification at depth which overcomes the effect of confining stress on liquefaction resistance. Stress densification occurs in centrifuge model tests but its effect has generally not been considered when preparing or evaluating centrifuge models. A new centrifuge model preparation method is proposed by considering stress-induced densification upon spin-up. The proposed method can be used to explore $K_0$ effects. The method is supported in this study by numerical predictions.

This paper presents an optimal design method for structure-borne durability of a vehicle body structure. Structure-borne durability design requires a new design that can increase fatigue lives of critical areas in a structure and must prohibit transition phenomenon of critical areas that results from modification of the structure at the same time. Therefore, the optimization problem fur structure-borne durability design are consists of an objective function and design constraints of 2 types; type 1-constraint that increases fatigue lives of the critical areas to the required design limits and type 2-constraint that prohibits transition phenomenon of critical areas. The durability design problem is generally dynamic because a designer must consider the dynamic behavior such as fatigue analyses according to the structure modification during the optimal design process. This design scheme, however, requires such high computational cost that the design method cannot be applicable. For the purpose of efficiency of the durability design, we presents a method which carry out the equivalent static design problem instead of the dynamic one. In the proposed method, dynamic design constraints for fatigue life, are replaced to the equivalent static design constraints for stress/strain coefficients. The equivalent static design constraints are computed from static or eigen-value analyses. We carry out an optimal design for structure-borne durability of the newly developed bus and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by examination of the result.

This study investigated the variation of the threshold strain and pore water pressure response of the coils at high amplitude vibration using resonant column test. As a result of tests, threshold shear strains of soft clay, clean quartz sand and stiff volcanic deposit were turned out to be 1$\times$10-2%, 1$\times$10-3%, 1$\times$10-4% respectively. Also, threshold shear Strain was found to be changed with confining pressure for the clean quartz sand. An increase of pore water pressure with shear strain was not significant within the shear strain 3~4$\times$10-3%, but it was abruptly increased beyond shear strain 1$\times$10-2%.

고출력 레이저 다이오드는 광 디스크, 고체 레이저 여기, 광섬유 증폭기, 레이저 프린터, 위성 간 통신 등의 여러분야에 응용되고 있고. 고효율, 저가격, 초소형등과 같은 장점으로 수요가 점점 증가하고 있다. 최근 레이저 다이오드의 광출력 향상 및 열적 안성성를 위해 양자점(Quantum Dot) 응용에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 양자점 기반 레이저 다이오드는 전자가 3차원으로 구속되어 있어 열적 안정성이 우수할 뿐만 아니라 낮은 문턱전류밀도로 인해 열 발생이 적어 광출력 감소 현상을 지연시킬 수 있다. 또한 발광면에서의 재결합 확률이 낮아 표면재결합에 의한 신뢰성 열화 문제를 해결할 수 있어 고신뢰성의 레이저 다이오드를 개발할 수 있다. 고출럭 808 nm 양자점 레이저 다이오드 개발을 위해서는 레이저 다이오드의 활성 영역인 양자점 구조에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 최적화된 고출력 808 nm 양자점 레이저 다이오드 에피 성장을 위해 에피 구조에 대한 2D 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 양자점 밀도 및 에피층 변화에 따른 최적 양자점 구조에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.
