In general, the power law and logarithmic profile are commonly used as flow vertical velocity profile model. However, since the parameters of profile vary with characteristics of coastal environment, it is necessary to estimate these values from measured data using regression analysis. In this paper, we estimated the power law exponent (n), friction velocity ($u^*$) and roughness length ($z_0$) of logarithmic profile by analyzing measured tidal current data that are averaged at a interval of 30 min. In the results of analysis, power law exponent (n) was estimated to be about 10.75 during flood and about 9.3 during ebb. Meanwhile, $u^*$ of logarithmic profile was estimated to be about 0.084 m/s, 0.105 m/s during flood and ebb, respectively. Also, $z_0$ was estimated to be 0.004 m and 0.006 m, respectively.

자율주행 트랙터를 위한 트랙터 조향제어는 일반적으로 전자모터를 이용한 EPS(Electric Power Steering) 시스템을 스티어링 휠에 연결하여 회전변위를 변경하고 그 결과 오비트롤(Orbitrol) 밸브의 토출유량을 바꾸고 호스로 연결된 조향실린더의 변위를 조절하여 최종적으로 전방 타이어의 방향각을 변경하면서 이루어진다. 이러한 조향방식은 시스템 구조상 조향실린더와 오비트롤 밸브가 상대적으로 멀리 떨어져 있으며, 밸브 특성상 약 ${\pm}5^{\circ}$의 오버랩이 포함되어 있다. 또한, EPS의 전자모터는 관성력, 마찰, 백래시 등의 영향을 가진다. 이와 같은 복합적인 영향은 조향 응답을 느리게 만들어 상대적으로 빠른 속도에서 주행에서 추종성능이 떨어지는 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행 트랙터의 조향성능 개선 연구의 일환으로 조향 HILS 시뮬레이터를 설계제작하여 조향 성능의 요인을 실험적으로 구명하고자 하였으며 이를 바탕으로 조향 시스템의 설계개선 방안을 수립하고자 하였다. 시뮬레이터는 동양물산 80 마력급 TX803 트랙터에 사용되는 오픈센터방식의 오비트롤 유압회로 시스템을 기어펌프가 장착된 AC모터로 구동되게 구성하였으며, 유량은 모터의 주파수를 조절 회전속도를 조절 변경하였다. 추가적으로 EPS와 오비트롤 조합의 조향성능을 비교 및 개선하기 위해 비례제어밸브(PVG 32, Danfoss)를 추가 장착하였다. 실제 트랙터 조향 시 나타나는 마찰저항을 모사하기 위해 부하 실린더를 구성하였으며, 조향 실린더의 부하의 크기는 부하 실린더를 폐회로를 구성하고 유량비례제어밸브를 이용한 유로의 개구량 조절을 통해 부하의 크기를 약 4000 N 까지 증가시킬 수 있도록 하였다. EPS와 비례제어밸브를 제어하기 위해 CANoe 8.0 소프트웨어를 이용하여 CAN통신 기반 가상 조향ECU를 구성하였으며 오비트롤의 기본 성능을 확인하기 위해 조향휠에 따른 실린더 동특성 및 계단 추종성능을 비례제어밸브와 비교하였다. 오비트롤 밸브는 약 ${\pm}5^{\circ}$이상 동작 시 실린더 압력이 상승하기 시작하였으며, 이후 약 ${\pm}10^{\circ}$이상 동작 시 조향실린더가 동작하기 시작하였다. 계단 추종성능실험에서는 비례제어밸브가 약 2배 이상의 응답개선을 나타냈다. 자율주행 경로추종 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 순간적인 출력밀도가 높은 비례제어밸브를 통해 응답개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Most of the silicon cutting methods using the multi-wire with the slurry injection have been used for wafers of the crystalline solar cell. But the productivity of slurry injection cutting type falls due to low cutting speeds. Also, the direct contact with the metal wire and silicon block increases the concentration of metallic impurities in the wafer's surface. In addition, the abrasive silicon carbide (SiC) generates pollutants. And production costs are rising because it does not re-use the worn wire. On the other hand, the productivity of the cutting method using the diamond coated wire is about 2 times faster than the slurry injection cutting type. Also, the continuous cutting using the used wire of low wear is possible. And this is a big advantage for reduced production costs. Therefore, the cutting method of the diamond coated wire is more efficient than the slurry injection cutting technique. In this study, each cutting type is analyzed using the surface characteristics of the solar wafer and will describe the effects of the manufacturing process of the solar cell. Finally, we will suggest improvement methods of the solar cell process for using the diamond cutting type wafer.

Bearing capacity of pile foundations in cold region is dominated by adfreeze bond strength between surrounding soil and pile perimeter. Adfreeze bond strength is considered to be the most important design parameter for foundations in cold region. Many studies in last 50 years have been conducted to analyze characteristics of adfreeze bond strength. However, most studies have been performed under constant temperature and normal stress conditions in order to analyze affecting factors like soil type, pile material, loading speed, etc. In this study, both freezing temperature and normal stress acting on pile surface were considered to be primary factors affecting adfreeze bond strength, while other factors such as soil type, pile material and loading speed were predefined. Direct shear box was used to measure adfreeze bond strength between Joomoonjin sand and aluminium because it is easy to work for various roughness. Test was performed with temperatures of > $0^{\circ}C$, $-1^{\circ}C$, $-2^{\circ}C$, $-5^{\circ}C$, and $-10^{\circ}C$ and vertical confining pressures of 1atm, 2atm, and 3atm. Based on the test results, the effects of temperature and vertical stress on adfreeze bond strength were analyzed. The test results showed that adfreeze bond strength increases with decreased temperature and increased vertical stress. It was also noted that two types of distinct sections exist, owing to the rate of increase of adfreeze bond strength along the change of freezing temperature: 1)rapidly increasing section and 2)gradually decreasing section. In addition, the results showed that a main factor affecting adfreeze bond strength switches from friction angle to adhesion as freezing temperature decreases.

The performance of fuel cell is enhanced with increasing reaction surface. Narrow flow channels in flow plate cause increased pumping power. Therefore it is very important to consider the pressure drops in the flow channel of fuel cell. Previous research for pressure drop for micro channel of fuel cell was focused on effects of various configuration of flow channel without electrochemical reaction. It is very important to know pressure loss of micro flow channel with electrochemical reaction because fluid density in micro channel is changed due to chemical reaction. In this paper, it is investigated that the pressure drops in micro channel of various geometries at anode and cathode with electrochemical reaction and compared them to friction coefficient (fRe), velocity, pressure losses for corresponding non reacting flow channel. The results show that friction factors for cold flow channel could be used for parallel and bended flow channel for flow channel design of fuel cell. In the other hand, pressure drop for serpentine flow channel is the lowest among flow channels due to bypass flow across gas diffusion layer under reacting flow condition although its pressure drop is highest for cold flow condition.

For the pertinent use of NMT method, both characteristics of joints (JRC, JCS and ${\phi}_r$) and characteristics of rock mass (Q-Value) must be investigated carefully. The main objective of the study presented is to investigate how sensitive the predicted behaviour of an underground excavation is to various realistic assumptions about some input parameter for the jointed rock mass. Joint pattern in the tunnel is predicted by statistical approach (chi-square test). In this paper, sensitivity studies involving in joint characteristics were carried out. The parametric studies involving change in Barton-Bandis joint model have shown that JCS is relatively insensitive to JRC and ${\phi}_r$. An increase in JRC value may not, according to the Barton-Bandis model, necessarily lead to a decrease in displacement. The importance of dilation in predicting the behaviour of a rock mass around an excavation is emphasized from a comparison of the Barton-Bandis joint behaviour model with the Mohr-Coulomb model. The Barton-Bandis model predicted higher stress, which allow for the build-up of stress caused by dilatant behaviour.

In this study, the data used for the models were a set of 56 geologic estimates of long-term fault slip rates. The hest models were those in which mantle drag was convergent on the Transverse Ranges in the San Andreas fault system, and faults had a low friction (${\mu}$= 0.3). It is clearly important to decide whether these cases of low strength are local anomalies or whether they are representative. Furthermore, it would be helpful to determine fault strength in as many tectonic settings as possible. Analysis of data was considered by unsuspected sources of pore pressure, or even to question the relevance of the friction law. To contribute to the solution of this problem, three attempts were tried to apply finite element method that would permit computational experiments with different hypothesized fault rheologies. The computed model has an assumed rheology and plate tectonic boundary conditions, and produces predictions of present surface velocity, strain rate, and stress. The results of model will be acceptably close to reality in its predictions of mean fault slip rates, stress directions and geodetic data. This study suggests some implications of the thermoelastic characteristics to interpret the relationship with very low strength of San Andreas fault system.

In this study, parametric analyses are performed using the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme for the collision behaviors of a vessel and an underwater slope that constitutes part of an artificial protective island. The vessel parameters considered in the analysis are bow angle, stem angle, draft, and impact velocity. The gradient of the slope, the friction coefficient between the bow and the slope, and soil strength are considered as parameters of the slope. For each parameter, the dissipated collision energy and the collision force are estimated from the behavior of the vessel, and the energy dissipation mechanism is identified in terms of the ground deformation. The collision force is assumed as an exponential function, and the effects of the parameters are estimated. As a result, only two parameters, the gradient of the slope and the friction coefficient between the vessel and the soil, can affect the exponential coefficient of the function. The dissipated energy by the soil can thus be estimated adequately. The relationship between the volume of the soil pushed out by the bow and the dissipated collision energy is estimated as a linear function. This relationship is independent of the magnitude of the collision energy, and affected more by the friction coefficient and the soil strength than by the parameters of the vessel.

Crash cushions are protective devices that prevent errant vehicles from impacting on fixed objects. This function is accomplished by gradually decelerating a vehicle to a safe stop in a relatively short distance. Commonly used crash cushions generally employ one of two concepts to accomplish this function. The first concept involves the absorption of the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle by crushable or plastically deformable materials and the other one involves the transfer of the momentum of a moving vehicle to an expendable mass of material located in the vehicle's path. Crash cushions using the first concept are generally referred to as compression crash cushions and crash cushions using the other concept are generally referred to as inertial crash cushion. The objective of this research is the development of a compression-type crash cushion by employing the two concepts simultaneously. To minimize the number of full-scale crash tests for the development of the crash cushion, preliminary design guide considering inertial and frictional energy absorption was constructed and computer simulation was performed. LS-DYNA program, which is most widely used to analyze roadside safety features, was used for the computer simulation. The developed crash cushion satisfied the safety evaluation criteria for various impact conditions of CC2 performance level in the Korean design guide.

This paper presents a braking model that can be used to design the safety distance of a train control system and a train braking system to increase the volume of traffic. For the braking model, a train set (electric multiple unit composed 6 cars) was tested. The factors that can affect the braking characteristics include the friction coefficient, braking pressure, and regenerative braking. The braking pressure was classified into service and emergency braking and reflected the characteristics of the vehicle. The external force acting on the running railway car was tested in accordance with KS R 9217, and the running resistance of the train is presented in the form of a polynomial. The dynamic behavior of the train running on a straight flat line was simulated using UM 8.3. The results were validated with experimental data, and the results were reasonable. With the validated model, a stopping distance was determined according to the initial braking speed and compared with the deceleration braking model. In addition, a safety distance for the train control system could be changed according to the frictional coefficient limits. These results are expected to be useful for analyzing the dynamic behavior of trains, and for analyzing various railway environments and improving the braking performance.
