To analyze the buffet phenomenon that causes serious vibration loads on a satellite launch vehicle, the pressure fluctuations on a hammerhead launch vehicle at transonic speeds are predicted by coupling CFD analysis and semi-empirical methods. From the RANS simulation, shock oscillation region, separation region, and separation reattachment region are identified, and the boundary layer thickness, the displacement thickness, and flow properties at boundary layer edge are calculated. The pressure fluctuations and power spectra on the hammerhead fairing are predicted by coupling RANS results and semi-empirical methods considering spatial distribution, and compared with the experimental data.

대도시의 국소지역인 도심지 도로변 양측은 빌딩에 의해 둘러싸여 있어 canyon으로 비유되어 street canyon이라고 하며 도로에 관한 선행연구는 도로변에 관한 것과 street canyon에 관한 것 그리고 두 경우를 전부 포함하는 경우로 분류할 수 있다. 도로변에 있어서 자동차 배출가스의 확산 예측에 관한 연구는 가우시안형 해석해 모형이 가장 많고 그 외 비가우시안형 해석해 모형, 반경험식 모형, 수치해 모형으로 분류되고 있다. (중략)

해양구조물의 주부재인 원형파일 및 실린더부재에 미치는 파력은 일반적으로 Morison식(1)으로 알려진 반경험식으로부터 구하고 있다. Morison식에서의 파력계수의 결정을 위해 주로 원형단면을 가진 실린더부재에 관한 연구가 수행되어 왔다(2, 3). 연구결과 제안된 파력계수 값들은 실험조건과 유해의 유동속도를 결정하는데 이용된 파랑이론의 차이, 계수들의 결정방법의 차이때문에 서로 상당히 다른 값들을 보이고 있다. (중략)

The semi-empirical equation and commercial computational tool were used to predict the base drag of a guided missile with free-stream Mach numbers and chamber pressures, and the results were generally agree each other. Differences in flow characteristics and base drags were observed with over/under expansion conditions by the nozzle. Under the over-expansion condition, the base pressure decreased as the expansion fan was generated at upper region of the base, and base pressure decreased further with increasing free-stream Mach number as the expansion becomes strong. Under the under-expansion conditions, a shock wave was generated around the base by the influence of the nozzle flow, which increased the base pressure, and the effect increased as the chamber pressure increased. Under the same chamber pressure condition, as the free-stream Mach number increases, the characteristic that the base pressure decreases as the shock wave generated at the base moves downstream was observed.

The heat transfer coefficient on the wall, which is used as a boundary condition in the thermal analysis of general contract-divergent supersonic nozzles, affects the thermal analysis accuracy of the entire nozzle. Accordingly, many methods of deriving a heat transfer coefficient have been proposed. In this study, the accuracy of each method was compared. For this purpose, the heat transfer coefficients were calculated through theoretical-based analogy methods, semi-empirical equations, and CFD simulations for the previously performed heat transfer experiment with an isothermal wall and compared with the experimental results. The results show that the Prandtl-Taylor analogy methods and the CFD results with the k-ω SST turbulence model were in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, the Modified Bartz empirical formula showed an overall over-prediction tendency.

The wind tunnel test data for the missile configuration were compared with analysis results using various semi-empirical code and CFD analysis code. The three types of configurations were used for comparison including 2 types of main wing, inline and interdigitate configuration that the main wing and tail intersect. Additionally, it was confirmed that the vortex flow was accurately predicted by comparing the CFD analysis result with the flow visualization test result.

In this paper, we focus on improving the performance of the piezoelectric diaphragms of valveless micropumps. A circular lightweight piezoelectric composite actuator (LIPCA) with a high level of displacement and output force has been developed for piezoelectrically actuated micropumps. We used numerical and experimental methods to analyze the characteristics of the actuator to select optimal design. With the developed circular LIPCA, we fabricated a valveless micropump by photo-lithography and PDMS molding techniques. The displacement of the diaphragm, the flow rate and the back pressure of the micropump were evaluated and discussed. With a semi-empirical method, the flow rate with respect to driving frequency was predicted and compared with experimental one. The test results confirm that the circular LIPCA is a promising candidate for micropump application and can be used as a substitute for a conventional piezoelectric actuator diaphragm.

This paper presents a ground surface settlement prediction method for shield tunneling in cohesive soils. In order to develop the method, a parametric study on shield tunneling was performed by using a threetimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis, which can simulate the construction procedure. By using the results of the finite element analysis, the ground movement mechanism was investigated and a base which relates the ground surface settlement and iuluencing factors was formed. The data base was then used to formulate semi -empirical equations for both surface settlement ratio above tunnel face and imflection point by means of a regression analysis. Furthermore, a prediction method for transverse and longitudinal surface settlement profiles was suggested by using the leveloped equations in conjunction with the normal probability curve. Effectiveness of the developed method was illustrated by comparing settlement profiles obtained by using the developed method with the results of finite element analysis and measured data. Based on the comparison, it was concluded that the developed method can be effectively rosed for practical applications at least within the conditions investigated.

Estimation of passive earth pressure is an important factor in anchor block, temporary retaining wall and support block of raker that resist lateral earth pressure. In practice, due to ease of use, it is common to estimate the earth pressure using the theory of Coulomb and Rankine, which assumes the failure plane as a straight line. However, the passive failure plane generated by friction between the wall surface and the soil forms a complex failure plane: a curve near the wall and a flat plane near the ground surface. In addition, the limit displacement where passive earth pressure is generated is larger compared to where the active earth pressure is generated. Thus, it is essential to calculate the passive earth pressure that occurs at the allowable displacement range in order to apply the passive earth pressure to the design for structural stability reasons. This study analyzed the mobilized passive earth pressured to various displacement ranges within the passive limit displacement range using the semi-empirical method considering the complex failure plane.

A challenging topic was and still is the failure behavior of concrete beams without shear reinforcement. In spite of substantial experimental and theoretical efforts in the past, the mechanism of shear failure is not entirely understood. ALWAC is of importance to the current construction industry. Most of present concrete research focuses on high performance concrete, by which in meant a cost effective material that satisfies demanding performance requirements, including durability. The advantages of ALWAC are its reduced mass and improved thermal and acoustic insulation properties, while maintaining adequate strength. In spite of these advantages, its ultimate failure behavior has not been well defined for adequate design process. This paper will investigate mainly the shear behavior of reinforced ALWAC beam without web reinforcements numerically with experimental evidences.
