Precise analysis of soil-structure interaction requires a proper description of soil profile. However, such approach becomes generally nearly unpractical for soil exhibiting material discontinuity and complex geometry since meshes should match that material discontinuity line. To overcome these difficulties, a different numerical integration method is adopted in this paper, which enables to integrate easily over an element with material discontinuity without regenerating mesh fellowing the discontinuity line. As a result the mesh is highly structured, loading to very regular silliness matrix. The influence of the shape of soil profile on the response is examined and it is seen that the proposed soil-structure analysis method can be easily used on soil-structure interaction problems with complicated soil profile and produce reliable results regardless of material discontinuities.

A comparative study using electron-beam(EB) and thermal curing techniques was carried out to determine the effect of cure behavior and thermal stability of epoxy resins. In this work, benzylquinoxalinium hexafluoroantimonate(BQH) was used as a latent cationic catalyst for an epoxy resin. According to the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), the decomposed activation energy based on Coats-Redfern method was higher in the case of thermal curing technique. This could be interpreted in terms of slow thermal diffusion rate resulted from high crosslink density of the thermally cured epoxy resin. However, the increase of hydroxyl group in the epoxy resin cured by EB technique was observed in near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) measurements, resulting in improving the stable short aromatic chain structure, integral procedural decomposition temperature, and finally ductile properties for high impact strengths.

동시경화조인트는 경화 시 복합재료로부터 흘러나오는 수지를 접착제로 사용하기 때문에 제조과정이 간편할 뿐 아니라 복합재료를 표면 처리할 필요가 없기 때문에 기존의 접착제에 의한 접합방법에 비해 장점을 지닌다. 최근 동시경화조인트에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으나 해석적인 방법을 통한 연구는 아직까지 미비하다. 실험적으로 연구된 결과를 보면 동시경화 조인트는 계면 모서리에서 파괴가 시작되어 계면을 따라 파괴가 진행된다. 그러므로 조인트의 계면 모서리에서의 응력집중계수에 관해 연구하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 고유치 문제를 고려하여 복합재료와 강재료로 구성된 동시경화조인트의 계면 모서리에서 발생하는 응력 및 변위장을 결정하고, H-적분을 이용하여 응력집중계수를 구하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

The di-functional epoxy resins, i.e., diglycidylether of bisphenol A(DGEBA) and diglycidylethere of bisphenol F(DGEBF) were initiated by cationic catalyst, i.e., benzylquinoxalinium hexafluoroantimonate(BQH) using electron-beam(EB) technique. And the effect of structure of DGEBA and DGEBF on thermal stabilities and cure behaviors was investigated. According to the experimental results, the decomposed activation energy based on Horowitz-Metzger method was higher in the case of DGEBA, but intergral procedural decomposition temperature(IPDT) of DGEBA was lower than DGEBF. This could be interpreted in terms of high crosslink density resulted from hydroxyl bond of DGEBF backbone. It was confirmed in increasing the hydroxyl band at $7000\;cm^{-1}$ and $5235\;cm^{-1}$ using near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS).

In the layered medium, the Sommerfeld integral must be evaluated to calculate a space domain Green's function. The real axis integration method provides stable and accurate results over wide ranges of the observation distance and the singnal frequency. But this method has the in efficiency of approximation when the field point z is changed. Also, as the amplitude of z increases, the change of the spectral domain function is more rapidly. Therefore, the approximation is difficult when z becomes larger. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate an accurate closed-form Green's function for microstrip structure by using the closed-loop integration path.

A quasi depth-varying mathematical model for wind-generated circulation in coastal areas, expressed in terms of the depth-averaged horizontal velocity components and free surface elevation was validated and used to understand the diurnal circulation process. The wind velocity is considered as a dominant factor for driving the wind generated current. In this paper, three dimensional numerical experiments that included the land topography were used to investigate the mesoscale air flow over the coastal regions. The surface temperature of the inland was determined through the surface heat budget consideration with inclusion of a layer of vegetation. A series of numerical experiments were then carried out to investigate the diurnal response of the air flow and wind-generated circulation to various types of surface inhomogeneities.

The effect of siloxane oligomer content on thermal stability and internal stress of DGEBA epoxy resin was investigated. Siloxane-epoxy polymers having terminal epoxy group were prepared by reaction of siloxane-DDM prepolymer with DGEBA epoxy resin. Thermal stability was studied in terms of the initial decomposition temperature(IDT), temperature of maximum rate of weight loss($T_{max}$), integral procedural decomposition temperature(IPDT), and decomposition activation energy($E_t$) using TGA data. The thermal stability increased with increasing the siloxane oligomer content and showed a maximum value in the case of 5 wt% siloxane oligomer content in the blend system. While, the coefficient of thermal expansion(${\alpha}_r$) and the flexural modulus($E_r$) allowed us to study internal stress of the blend system. As the content of siloxane oligomer increases, the internal stress systematically decreases as decreasing both ${\alpha}_r$ and $E_r$.

In this work, two thermal latent catalysts, i.e., N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH) and benzyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BDPH), were synthesized. The cure behaviors and thermal stabilities of diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DCEBA) epoxy resins initiated by 1 wt.% of the catalysts were investigated by DSC, NIR, TCA, and DMA Latent properties of the catalysts were examined by conversion of epoxy resins using NIR from $100^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$ From the resultes of near-IR, DGEBA/BPH system showed higher conversion than that of DGEBA/BDPH system. The thermal stabilities of DGEBA/BDPH system based on the initial decomposition temperature (IDT) and integral procedural decomposition (IPDT) were relatively lower than those of DCEBA/BPH system. These could be attributed to the hindered structure of BDPH, resulting in decreasing the thermal stability in the DGEBA/BDPH system.

에폭시 메트릭스에 $10{\pm}5nm$ SiO2 입자를 함량별 (1,3,5,7,9wt%)로 혼합하여 초음파 및 균질기를 이용한 분산을 실시하여 나노콤포지트를 제조하였다. 엉킴이 있는 나노입자를 물리적분산법을 이용하여 분산시킬 수 있었고, 그 결과 여러특성을 연구하였다. 기계적 굴곡강도 특성은 나노입자 충진함량 증가에따라 증가되는 경향을 나타내었고, 무충진 에폭시수지에 비하여 상대적으로 높은 굴곡강도를 나타내었다. 나노입자의 충진함량 증가에따라 절연파괴강도는 1wt%에서 가장 높는 절연파괴강도를 기록하였고 함량증가에 따라 약간 감소되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이는 여러 연구자의 경향과 대체로 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, an investigation was performed on the dynamic interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP(carbon fiber reinforcement plastics). Specimens used in this experiment are CF/EPOXY laminated plates. In this experiments, Split Hopkinson s Bar test was applied to dynamic and notched flexure test. The mode II fracture toughness of each unidirectional CFRP was estimated by the analyzed deflection of the specimen and J-integral with the measured impulsive load and reactions at the supported points. As an experimental result, the vibration amplitude of 〔$0_{10}F_4/0_{10}$〕laminates appear more than that of 〔0_{10}/F_2/0_{10}$〕laminates for the J-integral and displacement velocity at a measuring point. Also, it is thought that the dynamic fracture toughness of two kind specimen with the increase of displacement velocity becomes great at a measuring point with in range of measurement.
