A Multilayered microelectrode design is presented for large area travelling wave dielectrophoresis (TwDEP) separators. Most of typical TwDEP chip has been arrayed with 1000 electrodes in $20{\times}20\;mm^2$. However, there is a limitation of the device area that is critical in throughput, because when the area of TwDEP becomes larger, the resistance of microelectrodes for bus bar is also increased. In this paper, we successfully developed a novel TwDEP chip with extremely large area ($31{\times}25\;mm^2$) by a unique multilayered bus bar design. According to the resistance simulation of our microelectrodes, it is possible to realize a TwDEP chip with an infinite longitudinal length. We demonstrated the feasibility of our suggestion with latex microbeads and showed the potential of extremely high throughput separation with TwDEP technique.

전 세계적인 LNG 수요 증가에 따라 LNG 운반선의 대형화 및 극한 환경의 항로 선택이 불가피해지고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 LNG의 슬로싱 현상에 따른 화물창의 구조적 안정성 여부가 큰 이슈거리로 떠오르고 있다. 슬로싱 현상에 의한 구조 안전성을 평가하는 가장 이상적인 방법은 유체 영역과 탱크의 복합적인 상호 작용을 완벽하게 구현하는 것이다. 하지만 과도한 계산 시간과 결과의 정확성이 확보되지 못한 상황에서 LNG 운반선 화물창의 안전성 평가에 적용하기에는 문제가 있다. 많은 연구 단체에서는 불규칙적인 슬로싱 압력 신호를 삼각파 등의 형태로 이상화하여 구조해석에 적용하고 있지만 이 또한 유체의 압축성 및 비선형성을 고려하는데 한계를 드러내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 슬로싱 하중을 받는 구조의 안전성을 평가함에 있어 쌍방향(2-way) FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction)의 과도한 해석 시간 및 수렴의 어려움을 보안하고 유체의 비선형성을 고려할 수 있는 단 방향(1-way) FSI 기법을 이용하는 절차를 제안하고자 한다.

현재 우리나라는 이상기후 현상이 발생하여 계획홍수위를 초과하는 극한홍수에 의한 피해가 심각해지고 있는 실정이다. 또한 도심지역에서 제방이 붕괴된다면 범람홍수파에 의해 적지 않은 인명 및 재산피해가 발생할 수 있다. 이와 같은 피해를 줄이려면 제방붕괴시 범람홍수파의 수리학적 거동특성을 명확히 규명하고 이에 따른 대피체계가 수립되어야한다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 통한 범람홍수파 특성연구에 조도계수 및 GMO(General Moving Object)를 추가하여 점진적인 제방붕괴로 인한 제내지에서 범람홍수파의 수리학적 거통 특성을 모의하였다. 높이 0.6m의 제방붕괴 단면이 시간에 따라 일정하게 넓어지면서 제내지로 홍수파가 유입되어 들어오도록 모의하였다. 수치모의 된 결과를 선행연구의 수리실험결과와 비교 검증을 수행하였다. 또한 수치모형 값에 조도계수를 입력하여 기존연구와 비교분석하였다. GMO를 이용하여 붕괴속도($v_0$)에 변화를 준 경우, 유속($v_{max}$) 및 수위($h_{max}$)변화에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았고, 초기 월류수심($h_0$) 변화에 따른 범람홍수파의 영향을 분석한 결과 붕괴속도 보다 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과의 활용방안으로 제방붕괴시 홍수범람에 의한 비상대처계획(EAP) 수립에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, researches about fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) which has excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and tensile strength as a substitution material to steel tendon have been actively pursued. This study is performed to examine FRP tendon used prestressed beam's safety under service load. The specimen was a prestressed concrete beam with internal bonded FRP tendon. In order to compare the member fatigue capacity, a control specimen of a prestressed concrete beam with ordinary steel tendon was tested. A fatigue load was applied at a load range of 60%, 70%, and 80% of the 40% ultimate load, which was obtained though a static test. The fatigue load was applied as a 1~3 Hz sine wave with 4 point loading setup. Fatigue load with maximum 1 million cycles was applied. The specimen applied with a load ranging between 40~60% did not show a fatigue failure until 1 million cycles. However, it was found that horizontal cracks in the direction of tendons were found and bond force between the tendon and concrete was degraded as the load cycles increased. This fatigue study showed that the prestressed concrete beam using FRP tendon was safe under a fatigue load within a service load range. Fatigue strength of the specimen with FRP and steel tendon after 1 million cycles was 69.2% and 59.8% of the prestressed concrete beam's static strength, respectively.

Recently, research has been carried out into the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), which has good tensile strength and corrosion resistance, as an alternative to rebar. But as of yet, the research into fatigue failure of CFRP is insufficient. In this paper, an analysis was performed of the mechanical behavior and failure patterns of CFRP reinforced concrete beams according to static and cyclic loads, in order to evaluate the safety and validity of CFRP rebar as an alternative material for rebar. The cyclic load ranged from 10 % to 70% of the ultimate load, and was loaded at a speed of 3Hz using a sine wave in the form of a three-point loading method. Through the static load test, the maximum load or stiffness of the beam was found to increase remarkably with the increase of the reinforcement, but the fatigue test showed that the number of repetitions decreased and the amount of deflection increased with the increase of the reinforcement.

This paper investigated the structural capacity of the CT shear connectors, which is a kind of the perfobond rib and functions as an anchor transferring the tension force in the joint between a composite PHC wall pile and a bottom slab. The direct pull-out test was performed for various specimens. From failure modes and load-displacement curves, it was found that transverse rebars should be placed to holes in a web to restrict pull-out failure of CT shear connectors. The results of additional tests for specimens with transverse rebars and various support lengths indicated that all specimens were failed by the tension failure of PHC pile before pull-out failure of CT shear connector and concrete pull-out failure. Thus, the CT shear connector could endure the tension force between the PHC wall pile and the bottom slab.

The standard penetration test (SPT) has been widely used because of its usability, economy, and many correlations with soil properties among other factors. In SPT, hammer energy is an important factor to evaluate and calibrate N values. To measure hammer energy, an instrumented SPT rod was developed considering that stress waves transferring on rods during SPT driving are the same as stress waves transferring on piles due to pile driving. Using this idea, an instrumented SPT rod with a pile driving analyzer was applied as a pile capacity prediction tool in this study. In order to evaluate this method, SPT and dynamic cone tests with the instrumented SPT rod were conducted and also 2 pile load tests were performed on pre-bored steel pipe piles at the same test site. End bearings were predicted by CAPWAP analysis on force and velocity waves from dynamic cone penetration tests and SPT. Comparing these predicted end bearings with static pile load tests, a new prediction method of the end bearing capacity using the instrumented SPT rod was proposed.

Military rotorcraft should be designed taking into account the condition of the fuel cell bullet impact. The internal fluid pressure, stress of metal fitting and fuel cell, bullet kinetic energy can be included as the design factor for the fuel cell. The best way to obtain the important design data is to conduct the verification test with actual product. But, the verification test requires huge cost and long-term effort. Moreover, there is high risk to fail because of the sever test condition. Thus, the numerical simulation is required to reduce the risk of trial-and-error together with prediction of the design data. In the present study, the bullet impact simulation based on SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamics) is conducted with the commercial package, LS-DYNA. As the result of the numerical simulation, the internal pressure of fuel cell is calculated as 350~360MPa and the equivalent stress caused by hydro-ram effect is predicted as 260~350MPa on metal fittings.

국내외 발생하는 재난 중 70% 이상이 물과 관련된 재해로 분류되며, 집중호우와 태풍으로 인한 하천범람 및 내수침수 등으로 많은 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 특히 최근 발생하는 피해 양상은 과거에 발생하지 않았던 극한 강우로 인해 돌발적으로 발생하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있어 이에 따라 사전에 예측하여 미리 대비하는 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템의 구축 여부는 정확한 하천 흐름 예측을 필요로 한다. 하지만 하천의 흐름은 댐붕괴, 제방붕괴, 하천 하상의 변동 등 다양한 상황에서 급격한 흐름의 변동이 발생하며, 이는 하천 흐름 예측에 장애물로 작용하여 정확도를 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 특히 국내에는 산악지형과 수공구조물에 의한 불연속 단면이 다수 존재하고 있어 그 예측 결과에 대한 정확성에 대한 요구가 더욱 부각되고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 해당 문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 기법들이 개발되어 실무에 적용되고 있으나 어떤 기법이 국내 하천특성에 적합한지 파악할 수 없으며, 그 정확성과 안정성에 측면에서 여전히 많은 문제점을 가지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 불연속 흐름이 빈번하게 발생하는 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 확인하고자 유량보존특성을 만족하는 유한체적기법 중 국내외적으로 다수 사용되었던 기법들을 비교 및 평가하였다. 불연속 흐름의 대표적인 예제로서 'Dam-break problem'과 충격파 해석 및 홍수기와 갈수기에 따른 하천 하상의 마름/젖음에 대한 평가를 할 수 있는 Toro's Riemann problems에 적용하여 비교하였으며 그 결과 값을 정량적인 수치로 나타내었다. 이를 통해 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 선정하였으며. 향후 국내하천 환경을 만족할 뿐만 아니라 하천 종사자들의 요구에도 부합한 하천흐름해석 모형의 개발 시 많은 기여가 될 것이라 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to describe the Non-Destructive Testing(NDT) of the rockbolt and investigate the applicability of the NDT methods to estimate the integrity of the rockbolt. To examine the rockbolt integrity including rockbolt itself and grouting material, two methods are adopted: numerical and experimental methods. In the numerical method, the numerical code DISPERSE is used to analyze the dispersion of the rockbolt. The dispersion curve shows the effects of the thickness and stiffness of grouted materials on the embedded rockbolt. Therefore, the optimal frequency for the integrity test of the rockbolt is obtained: 20~120kHz in L(1,0) mode. In the experimental methods, destructive and non-destructive tests are carried out in a laboratory. In the non-destructive test, the low frequency mode generated by an impact and t he high frequency mode generated by an ultrasonic transducer seem to characterize the rockbolt condition readily. The experimental results show that the guided waves attenuate more significantly when the stiffness of the grouted material increases and/or the zone of the defect increases. Meanwhile, the ultimate capacity of rockbolt was evaluated through the pull-out tests and is compared to the NDT results. This study demonstrates that the NDT is a valuable tool for the rockbolt integrity evaluation.
