Before cables are constructed, tower of suspension bridge is behaved as a cantilever type. Buffeting occured by unsteady loading of the tower due to velocity fluctuation in the oncoming flow has a wind velocity consistent with fundamental frequency of the tower and may give rise to large response by the tower resonance. To reduce the dynamic response by buffeting, the behavior of tower with TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) has studied using finite element method in time domain. The buffeting was obtained by transforming the velocity spectrum in frequency domain to random variable in certain time domain. The most probable maximum displacement which can be occured during the time interval was obtained using peak factor. The optimum location for TMD installation and TMD specification were decided by parametric study. Also, the effect of vibration control about various wind velocity was studied by the TMD which has optimum specification and location.

This paper describes structural optimization of optical fiber-wound mandrel hydrophones with Finite Element Method (FEM). The hydrophone is supposed to have operation frequency range of up to 10 kHz and show omni-directional sensitivity pattern at 5 kHz. Studied parameters are mandrel geometry, molding thickness, and material properties of constitutional parts of the hydrophone. Theoretical calculation result shows that pressure sensitivity of the hydrophone increased as either mandrel length or molding thickness gets larger. Also higher pressure sensitivity requires a mandrel or molding material with relatively low Youngs modulus or Poissons ratio. Hydrophone bandwidth increases either as the mandrel length becomes shorter or as the mandrel becomes harder. The omni-directional characteristic is improved as the mandrel length becomes shorter, at 5 kHz. With the above results, we determine the structure of an optical fiber-wound mandrel hydrophone which has the pressure sensitivity of $30 {\times} 10_{-7}$ Rad./Pa, operation frequency range of up to 10 kHz, and shows omni-directional sensitivity pattern at 5 kHz.

An attempt was made to evaluate the changes of microstructures and mechanical properties with increasing aging time in 2.25Cr-1Mo steel. In this study, it was verified the feasibility of the evaluation for degraded 2.25Cr-1Mo steel by isothermal heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C$ up to 1,000 hours using surface SH wave and investigated the change of attenuation coefficient and propagation time. Attenuation coefficient had a tendency to increase according to degradation and propagation time drastically in the beginning of deterioration. A good correlation between ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and hardness was found, which made sure that attenuation coefficient is an potential parameter for evaluation of aging degradation. In addition, it has verified experimentally the frequency dependence of ultrasonic group velocity and attenuation coefficient using wavelet transform.

희토류 이온이 첨가된 형광체는 조명, 정보 디스플레이, 태양 에너지 변환 소자에 응용 가능하기 때문에 상당한 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, 결정 입자의 형상과 크기는 산업체 응용에 있어서 중요한 변수 중의 하나이다. 구형의 형광체 입자는 형광층의 광학 및 기하학적 구조를 최적화 시킬 수 있고, 결정 입자의 크기는 양질의 코팅을 위해 필요한 결정 입자의 양에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는, $YVO_4$ 모체 결정에 Eu 이온의 농도를 선택적으로 주입하여 발광 효율이 높은 적색 형광체를 합성하고자 한다. 형광체 분말 시료는 활성체인 Eu의 함량을 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol로 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 사용하여 합성하였다. 볼밀링 작업을 수행한 후에, 60$^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 건조하였고, 잘게 갈아서 체로 걸러낸 다음에 세라믹 도가니에 넣고 전기로에서 서서히 온도를 승온시켜 500$^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 동안 하소를 실시한 후에 1,100$^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 소결하였다. Eu 이온의 함량비를 변화시켜 합성한 $YVO_4$ : Eu 형광체 분말 시료의 발광 세기의 변화, 결정 구조와 표면 형상을 각각 PL과 PLE, XRD, FE-SEM 장치를 사용하여 측정한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, Eu 이온의 비가 0.15 mol일때 발광 세기가 최대값을 나타냄을 알 수 있었으며, 더욱 Eu의 함량을 증가시키자 농도 억제 현상에 의하여 발광 세기는 급격히 감소함을 보였다. SEM으로 촬영한 결정 입자의 형상의 경우에, Eu 이온의 함량비가 증가함에 따라 결정 입자들이 더욱 조밀하게 구형에 가까운 형상을 나타냄을 관측할 수 있었다(Fig. 1). 형광체 분말의 형광 스펙트럼의 경우에, 619 nm에 주 피크를 갖는 적색 형광 스펙트럼들이 관측되었으며, Eu 이온의 함량비에 따라 형광 세기는 상당한 의존성을 나타내었다(Fig. 2). Eu 함량에 따른 결정입자의 크기, 형광 세기와 회절 피크의 반치폭 사이의 상관 관계를 제시하고자 한다.

The differences in the stress distribution and the critical stresses in concrete pavement systems were analyzed when the dual-wheel single-, tandem-, and tridem-axle loads were applied at the interior and the edge of the pavement. The effects of the concrete elastic modulus, slab thickness, foundation stiffness, and tire contact pressure were investigated. The stresses under the interior loads were calculated using the transformed field domain analysis and stresses under the edge loads were obtained using the finite element method. The critical stresses under the interior and the edge loads were compared with respect to various parameters and the equations to predict the ratio between the stresses under the edge and the interior loads were developed and verified. From this study, it was found that the trends of the changes in the critical concrete stresses under the interior and the edge loads were very similar and the critical stress locations under those loads were identical. The critical stress ratio, which was obtained by dividing the critical stress under the edge loads into that under the interior loads, decreased with increasing the number of axles. That ratio became larger as the concrete elastic modulus increased, the slab thickness increased, the foundation stiffness decreased, and the tire contact pressure increased.

This Paper describes a crack scattering model for SH wave based on the boundary integral equation(BIE) method, where the fundamental unknown is crack opening displacement(COD). When a time harmonic plane wave was incident on a 2-D isolated crack (slit) of width 2a, the COD distributions were numerically calculated as a function of ka. The calculated COD agreed well with results obtained with other methods. The far-field scattering amplitude, which completely characterizes the flaw response, was calculated in two ways. The Kirchhoff approximation and the BIE-COD exact formulation were compared in terms of incidence angle and frequency ka in a pulse-echo mode. Maximum response was obtained for both methods at the specular reflection direction. Away from the specular direction, the Kirchhoff approximation becomes less accurate. The time domain crack response was also calculated using a band-limited spectrum of center frequency 10 MHz. At oblique incidence to the crack both methods show the existence of an antisymmetric flash points occurring from the crack edge. The Kirchhoff approximation provides an exact time interval between flash points, although it unrealistically gives the same amplitude.

In this study, the HEC-HMS was applied to determine rainfall-runoff processes for the Gokgyuchun basin. Several sub-basins have large-scale reservoirs for agricultural needs and they store large amounts of initial runoff. Three infiltration methods were implemented to reflect the effect of initial loss by reservoirs: 'SCS-CN'(Scheme I), 'SCS-CN' with simple surface method(Scheme II), and 'Initial and Constant rate'(Scheme III). Modeling processes include incorporating three different methods for loss due to infiltration, Clark's UH model for transformation, exponential recession model for baseflow, and Muskingum model for channel routing. The parameters were calibrated using an optimization technique with trial and error method. Performance measures, such as NSE, RAR, and PBIAS, were adopted to aid in the calibration processes. The model performance for those methods was evaluated at Gangcheong station, which is the outlet of study site. Good accuracy in predicting runoff volume and peak flow, and peak time was obtained using the Scheme II and III, considering the initial loss, whereas Scheme I showed low reliability for storms. Scheme III did not show good matches between observed and simulated values for storms with multi peaks. Conclusively, Scheme II provided better results for both single and multi-peak storms. The results of this study can provide a useful tool for decision makers to determine master plans for regional flood control management.

Trabecular-bone-mimicking phantoms consisting of parallel-nylon-wire arrays were used to investigate correlations of phase velocity and attenuation coefficient with structural properties in trabecular bone. Trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) of the 7 trabecular-bone-mimicking phantoms ranged from 300 to $900\;{\mu}m$ and volume fraction (VF) from 1.6% to 8.7%. Phase velocity and attenuation coefficient of the phantoms were measured by using a through-transmission method in water, with a matched pair of broadband unfocused transducers with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a center frequency of 1 MHz. Phase velocity and attenuation coefficient at 1 MHz decreased almost linearly with increasing Tb. Sp and increased almost linearly with increasing VF. The simple and multiple linear regression models with phase velocity and attenuation coefficient as independent vanables and Tb.Sp and VF as dependent variables demonstrated that the coefficients of determination for the prediction of VF were higher than those for the prediction of Tb.Sp. The results obtained in the trabecular-bone-mimicking phantoms consisting of parallel-nylon-wire arrays were consistent with those in human trabecular bone suggesting that the structural properties can be estimated from the measurements of phase velocity and attenuation coefficient in trabecular bone.

Filtering rates of Crassostrea gigas were experimentally investigated with reference to effects of water temperature and size. Absorptiometric determinations of filtering rates with oysters being fed diatom Chaetoceros calcirtans were carried out in a closed system. Optical density of 675nm in path length 100mm cell used as the indication of food particles absorption was appeared directly In proportion with the concentration of diatom pigment $chlorophyll-\alpha$. In the closed system where $C_0$ is $OD_{675}$ at initial time 0, $C_t$, at time t, and Z is the decreasing coefficient of OD as meaning of instantaneous removal speed, then $C_t=C_0{\cdot} e^{-2t}$, $Z=In(C_t/C_0)/t$. On the assumption that the filtering rate is constant, then removal rate per unit time (d) is $d=-e^{-z}$. If t is used to time unit of hour (hr), the filtering rate (FR) in I/hr is given by $FR=V{\cdot}d=V(1-e^{-z})$, where V is the water volume (I) of the experimental vessel. Filtering rate increased as exponential function with increasing temperature while not over critical limit. The critical temperature for filtering rate was assumed to be between $28^{\circ}C$ and $29^{\circ}C$. And the weight exponent for filtering rate is 0.223. The model formula derived from the results as FR, $Ihr^{-1}$ = $Exp(0.208{\cdot}T-4.324){\cdot} (DW)^{0.223}$ (T<29 $^{\circ}C)$ where T is water temperature $(^{\circ}C

In this research, configuration design optimization of plane truss structure has been tested by using decomposition technique. In the first level, the problem of transferring the nonlinear programming problem to linear programming problem has been effectively solved and the number of the structural analysis necessary for doing the sensitivity analysis can be decreased by developing stress constraint into member stress approximation according to the design space approach which has been proved to be efficient to the sensitivity analysis. And the weight function has been adopted as cost function in order to minimize structures. For the design constraint, allowable stress, buckling stress, displacement constraint under multi-condition and upper and lower constraints of the design variable are considered. In the second level, the nodal point coordinates of the truss structure are used as coordinating variable and the objective function has been taken as the weight function. By treating the nodal point coordinates as design variable, unconstrained optimal design problems are easy to solve. The decomposition method which optimize the section areas in the first level and optimize configuration variables in the second level was applied to the plane truss structures. The numerical comparisons with results which are obtained from numerical test for several truss structures with various shapes and any design criteria show that convergence rate is very fast regardless of constraint types and configuration of truss structures. And the optimal configuration of the truss structures obtained in this study is almost the identical one from other results. The total weight couldbe decreased by 5.4% - 15.4% when optimal configuration was accomplished, though there is some difference.
