This study investigated the effect of deep-sea environment on the compressive characteristics of polymer matrix composite. The specimens used in the experiment were thick Carbon-Epoxy composites that were made from Carbon-Epoxy prepregs. The specimens were immersed into seawater for thirteen months. The seawater content at saturation was about 1.2% of the specimen weight. The hydrostatic pressures applied were 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 270 MPa. It was found that the compressive elastic modulus increased about 10% as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 200 MPa. The modulus increased additional 2.3％ as the pressure increased to 270 MPa. It was also found that compressive fracture strength and compressive fracture strain increased with pressure in a linear behavior. Compressive fracture strength increased 28％ and compressive fracture strain increased 8.5％ as the hydrostatic pressure increased from 0.1 MPa to 270 MPa.

Surface residual stresses as well as wall thickness and ovality changes after U-bending process on UNS N06690 row-1 heat exchanger tubes, were estimated. Surface residual stresses were measured by Hole Drilling Method(HDM), calculating the stresses from relieved strains of 3 rosette strain gages. After bending of the tubes, dimensional tolerances for wall thickness and ovality were satisfied with ASTM requirements. Residual stresses at the extrados were introduced with compressive stress(-) by bending operations, and its maximum value reached-319 MPa in axial direction at ${\phi}=0^{\circ}$ in position. Tensile residual stresses(+) of ${\sigma}_zz=45$ MPa,${\sigma}_zz=25$ MPa were introduced in the intrados surface at position of ${\phi}=0^{\circ}$ Maximum tensile residual stress of 170 MPa was detected on the flank side at position of ,${\phi}=95^{\circ}$i.e., at apex region. It appeared that higher stress gradients were generated at the irregular transition regions. In the trend of residual stress changes with U-bend position, the extrados is related with the changes of ovality and the intrados is related with the changes of wall thickness.

We devise the 3 models of Multilayered Recurrent Prediction Neural Network(MLRPNN), which are obtained by modifying the Multilayered Perceptron(MLP) with 4 layers. We experimentally study the speech recognition performance of 3 models by a comparative method, according to the variation of the prediction order, the number of neurons in two hidden layers, initial values of connecting weights and transfer function, respectively. By the experiment, the recognition performance of each MLRPNN is better than that of MLP. At the model that returns the output of the upper hidden layer to the lower hidden layer, the recognition performance shows the best value. All MLRPNNs, which have 10 or 15 neurons in the upper and lower hidden layer and is predicted by 3rd or 4th order, show the improved speech recognition rate. On learning, these MLRPNNs have a better recognition rate when we set the initial weights between -0.5 and 0.5, and use the unipolar sigmoid transfer function in the lower hidden layer.

It is very important to study on the structural behaviors of structurally damaged tunnel linings. A series of centrifuge model tests were performed in order to investigate different behaviors of tunnel linings. A 1/100-scaled aluminum horseshoe tunnel linings with a radius 5 cm, height 8 cm were buried in a depth with dry Joomunjin standard sand, the relative density of which was 86%. Such sectional forces as bending moments and thrusts along the tunnel circumference were measured by twelve strain gages. Earth pressures in soil mass and on the outside of lining model were estimated by pressure transducers, ground surface settlements at a center and edges by using LVDTs.

This paper employed finite element method (FEM) to study the dynamic response of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete(SFRC) panels subjected to impact loading by spherical projectiles. The material properties and non-linear stress-strain curves of SFRC were obtained by compression test and flexural test. Various parametric studies, such as the effect of fiber volume fraction and thickness of panels, are made and numerical analyses are compared with experiments conducted. It is shown that protective performance of concrete panels will be improved by adding steel fiber. Area loss rates and weight loss rates are decreased with increasing fiber volume fraction. Also, penetration modes can be expected by FEM, showing well agreement with experiment. Results can be applied for designing the protection of military structures and other facilities against high-velocity projectiles.

The implicit finite difference program was developed to evaluate the relationship between time and consolidation ratio within the zone of vertical drain effective radius. In the evaluation, the excess pore water pressure was considered to dissipate in two directions, namely, vertical and radial flow direction. To calculate subsoil stress increments in the soil due to multi-step embanking, the foundation soil was assumed to be an isotropic and homogeneous elastic medium and the initial excess pore water pressure was estimated by using Skempton's parameters whose condition is plane strain and elastic phase of pore pressure response within the soft ground. Regarding to the settlement estimation, immediate and primary consolidation settlements were calculated. The secondary or delayed consolidation settlement was not considered. Numerically calculated excess pore water pressure and settlements were similar to the measured data in situ. Thus, this method can be used to predict the time-consolidation ratio of each layer treated by vertical drain method.

반도체 트랜지스터의 크기가 점점 미세화 함에 따라 이에 수반되는 절연막에 대한 요구 조건도 까다로워지고 있다. 특히 게이트 산화 막의 두께는 10 nm 이하에서 고밀도를 갖는 높은 유전율 막에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있으며 또한 증착 온도 역시 낮아져야 한다. 이러한 요구사항을 충족하는 기술중의 하나는 매우 낮은 압력 및 200도 이하 저온에서 절연막을 증착하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 화학 기상 증착(PE-CVD) 시스템을 이용하여 $180^{\circ}C$의 온도 및 10 mTorr의 압력에서 SiN 및 SiCN 박막을 제조하였다. 박막의 특성은 원자층 증착 공정 결과와 유사하면서 증착 속도의 향상을 위해 개조된 사이클릭 화학 기상 증착 공정을 이용하였다. Si 전구체와 산화제는 기판에 공급되기 전에 혼합되어 1차 리간드 분해를 하였으며, 리간드가 일부 제거된 가스가 기판에 흡착되는 구조이다. 기판흡착 후 플라즈마 처리 공정을 이용하여 2차 리간드 분해 공정을 수행하였으며, 반응에 참여하지 않은 가스 제거를 위해 불활성 가스를 이용하여 퍼지 하였다. 공정 변수인 플라즈마 전력, 반응가스유량, 플라즈마 처리 시간은 최적화 되었다. 또한 효율적인 리간드 분해를 위해 ICP와 CCP를 포함하고 있는 이중 플라즈마 시스템에 의해 2회에 걸쳐 분해되어지고, 그 결과로 불순물이 들어있지 않는 순수한 SiN과 SiCN 박막을 증착하였다. XRD 측정 결과 증착된 박막들은 모두 비정질 상이며, 550 nm 파장에서 측정한 SiN 및 SiCN 박막의 굴절률은 각 각 1.801 및 1.795이다. 또한 증착된 박막의 밀도는 2.188 ($g/cm^3$)로서 유전체 박막으로 사용하기에 충분한 값임을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 300 mm 규모의 Si 웨이퍼에서 측정된 비 균일도는 2% 이었다. 저온에서 증착한 SiN 및 SiCN 박막 특성은 고온 공정의 그것과 유사함을 확인하였고, 이는 저온에서의 유전체 박막 증착 공정이 반도체 제조 공정에서 사용 가능하다는 것을 보여준다.

In this paper the Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion is integrated into the Holmquist-Johnson-Cook (HJC) concrete material model to reflect the inherent characteristics of field rock masses in LS-DYNA blast modeling. This is intended to emphasize the distinctive characteristics of field rock masses that usually have many geological discontinuities. The replacement is made only for the static strength part of the HJC material model by using a statistical curve fitting technique, and its procedure is described in detail. An example is also given to illustrate the use of the obtained HJC material model. Computation is performed for a plane strain model of a single-hole blasting on a field limestone by using the combination of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) technique and the multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MMALE) method in LS-DYNA.

Crack formations are inevitable in reinforced concrete structures. To estimate crack widths, empirical formulae are used widely and indirect crack controling methods of limiting bar spacing and bar diameter are also used due to their simplicity. In EC2, the characteristic crack width is calculated by multiplying maximum crack spacing and average strain. In this study, limit values of maximum bar spacing and bar diameter are examined as the material characteristics are varied. Two models of tension stiffening effect and maximum crack spacing and their effects are evaluated. The obtained results are compared with the values obtained using KCI method. The results showed that a significant difference is found when two tension stiffening effect are employed, and an under-estimation is found when 2nd order tension stiffening effect and maximum crack spacing limit from Part II were implemented. Therefore, a rational indirect crack control method attained using the tension stiffening effect of 2nd order form is needed. Also, a consistency in serviceabiliy analysis in flexural members needs to be secured. In order to achieve these goals, two crack controling models are suggested.

One of the fundamental limits of Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) is that the data transmission is available via singlehop connection. In this research, we suggested the stable multihop transmission method to overcome this limitation. In multihop connection situation, multiple singlehop connection should be made and disconnected dynamically. Therefore, we stored the data within the GATT layer and tried to send it dynamically. We divided whole process as 4 states, and let each nodes transfers around each states to make data connection safely. Also, we set the transfer policy between each states during the transmission to make a robust system. From the experiment in real-time environment, we proved that our method showed high rate of packet delivery in a multihop network, which consists of more than 3 nodes.
