The present study is concerned with a simple numerical method for estimating the hindered settling velocity of noncolloidal suspensions with bidisperse size distribution of particles. The method is based on an effective-medium theory which uses the conditional ensemble averages for describing the velocity fields or other physical quantities of interest in the suspension system with the particles randomly placed. The effective-medium theory originally developed by Acrivos and Chang[1] for monodisperse suspensions is modified for the bidisperse case. Using the radial distribution functions and stream functions the hindered settling velocity of the suspended particles is calculated numerically. The predictions by the present method are compared with the previous experimental results by Davis and Birdsell[2] and Cheung et al.[3]. It is shown that the estimations by the effective-medium model of the present study reasonably agree with the experimental results.

This paper deals with the inverse reconstruction of sectional area in nonuniform ducts by using the acoustical measurement. There have been many theoretical and experimental studies on the duct area reconstruction. In this research, the method using the impulse response function and area reconstruction algorithm was employed because of its mathematical and experimental simplicity. Based on the study results on the drawback of conventional impulse excitation method, a new measurement method is proposed, that uses the random noise source and the discrete inverse Fourier transform. It is found that the reconstruction errors of the present method is smaller than the conventional method. A random error analysis is performed in order to investigate the causes of reconstruction error and to clarify the applicable data range for area reconstruction.

In this study, an analytical model of micro-beam structure including thermoelastic damping with irregularly distributed masses is investigated. The significance of thermoelastic damping for micro-scale mechanical resonators is evaluated to design -with high quality factor(Q-factor). The beam model of this work is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. In order to determine the natural frequency of the model, energy method is applied. Also, the thermoelatic damping effects are considered by using heat conduction equations, and the Q-factor can be determined. To derive the equation of motion, non-dimensionalization is employed for systematic analysis. Results of the model are verified, and present mode shapes and Q-factors for the micro-beam with thermoelastic damping including random point masses.

BSR noise emerges in a vehicle as a result of road vibrations, engine vibrations, and speaker vibrations. BSR noise occurs with an irregular impact or stick slip friction phenomenon as the influence of the resonance mode when the vibration input load is transferred along poor joint and contacting pairs of the system. A sub-structure method of finite element analysis is required to detect impacts and slip in the full vehicle model. This study presents a method for sub-structure modeling and a rattle and squeak detection methodology that considers the characteristics of road vibration inputs.

실제 하천에서는 지형적 이산화에 따른 복잡성으로 인해 마름/젖음 현상이 발생하며 그로 인해 작은 수심에서 수치해석의 안정성에 영향을 주어 해석을 불가능하게 한다. 자연수로는 저수시 및 평수시에 물을 소통시키는 주수로부와 홍수시 수위 상승에 따라 주수로부에서부터 범람하게 되는 홍수터로 구성된다. 홍수터는 홍수류의 일시적인 저장이나 하류로 흐름을 전달하는 복합수로의 부분으로 사용된다. 자연수로에서 이와같은 흐름구조는 불규칙한 단면형상, 조도계수 등에 의해서 더욱 복잡하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 지형과 자연 하천구조에 대한 동역학적인 흐름특성을 해석하고 오염물질의 이송-확산 해석 및 토사이송 해석과 연계하기 위해서 개발된 RAM-2 모형에 동수역학적 해석을 실시하였다. RAM-2 모형에는 대상하도에 대한 마름/젖음의 처리를 위해 흐름의 시간별 수위상승 및 하강 속도를 고려한 Deforming Grid 기법을 적용하였으며, 이에 대한 적용성을 검토하기 위해 마름/젖음 조건을 가지는 실험수로와 홍수터를 가진 사다리꼴 단면 그리고 실제 하도에 대해 적용하여 그 결과를 살펴보았다.

Vibration of a non-linear system with multiple degrees of freedom under random parametric excitations was evaluated by probabilistic method. The non-linear characteristic terms of system structure were quasi-linearized and excitation terms were remained as they were. An analytical method where the expectation values of square mean of error was minimized was used. The numerical results were compared with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. A linear congruential generator and Box-Muller method were used in Monte Carlo simulation. The comparison showed the results by probabilistic method agreed well with those by Monte Carlo simulation.

An investigation into the stochastic bifurcation and response statistits of an autoparameteric system under broad-band random excitation is made. The specific system examined is a spring-pendulum system with internal resonance, which is known to be a good model for a variety of engineering systems, including ship motions with nonlinear coupling between pitching and rolling motions. The Fokker-Planck equations is used to generate a general first-order differential equation in the dynamic moment of response coordinates. By means of the Gaussian and non-Gaussian closure methods the dynamic moment equations for the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations. In view of equilibrium solutions of this system and their stability we examine the stochastic bifurcation and response statistics. The analytical results are compared with results obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.

많은 자연계가 선형성과 비선형성을 동시에 포함한 카오스적인 모습을 보여준다 예를 들면 춤추는 불꽃, 부서지는 파도. 하늘에 떠다니는 무수한 구름 등 외관상으로는 불규칙해 보이는 듯 하면서 어떤 규칙성을 가진 다양한 모습을 나타낸다. 특히 공학분야에서는 거의 모든 현상이 비선형계로 이루어져 있다 이러한 비선형계의 해석에 카오스 이론이 적용될 수 있는데 최근 들어 카오스에 내재하는 질서구조가 밝혀짐에 따라 여러 공학분야에서 이를 활발히 응용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 카오스 이론에 대해 간단히 논하고 이러한 카오스 이론이 응용될 수 있는 분야를 공학적 측면에서 일목요연하게 정리하였다. 특히 전력계통 및 송배전설비 분야 중 GIS 상태감시 및 부분방전 검출기법에 대해서 시계열 데이터를 이용한 카오스 이론의 적용 가능성을 타진하였다.
