By using the transmission anode x-ray tube developed to apply to the hand-held XRF equipment, we carried out XRF experiment and evaluated the influences of the x-ray tube on XRF spectra. XRF data, which is measured using the W-target and Rh-target tube, were good agreements with the known results. FWHM of Fe $K_{\alpha}$-line measured by W-target tube with the 35 kV-tube voltage and the $40{\mu}A$-tube current was 180 eV. This result reveals that our XRF equipment using the transmission anode x-ray tube is enough for a qualitative analysis of materials. By comparison XRF data with the integrated intensity of x-ray tube, it was confirmed that Rh-target tube is better than W-target tube for application to the hand-held XRF equipment.

To develope chemical heat pump using available energy sources such as solar heat and many kinds of waste thermal energy we have studied the enhancement effect of inserted fins in cylindical packed bed reactor. Two dimensionnal(radial and circumferential) partial differential eqaetions, concerning heat and masstransfer in CaO packed bad, are solved numerically to describe the characteristics of the reaction of fins inserted reactor and heat transfer. The results obtained by numerical analysis about two dimensional profiles of temperature and conversion in the reactant in the packed bed and exothermic heat amount released from the reactor are follows; -. The insertion of fins in reactor can redue the reaction completion time by half. -. The rate of thermochemical reaction depends of the temperature and concentration and it is also governed by the boundary conditions and heat transfer rate in the particle packed bed.

The potential pollution problems resulting from tanker collision necessitate the requirement for an effective structural design and the development of relevant safety regulation. During a few decades, the great effort has been made by International Maritime Organization and the Administration, etc, to reduce oil spillage from collision accidents. However there is still a need for investigation in the light of structural evaluation method for the experiments and rational analysis, and design development for an operational purpose of ships. This study is aimed at investigating a complicated structural response of bow structures of oil carriers for assessing the energy dissipation and crushing mechanics of striking vessel through a methodology of the numerical analysts for the various models and its design changes. Through this study an optimal bow construction absorbing great portion of kinetic energy in the least penetration depth prior to reach to the cargo area and an effective location of collision bulkhead are investigated. In order to obtain a rational results in this study, three stages of response analysis procedures are performed as follows; 1). 16 simplified ship models are used to investigate the structural response against bow collision with variation of primary and secondary members. Mass and speed are also varied in two conditions. 2). 21 models conisted of 5 size of full scaled oil carriers are used to perform the collision simulation with the various sizes and deadweight delivered in a recent which are complied with SOLAS and MARPOL. 3). 36 models of 100k oil carrier are used to investigate the structural response and its influence to the collision bulkhead against bow collision in variation with location of collision bulkhead, primary mombers, framing system and colliding conditions, etc.

In this paper an enhanced quadratic finite element for static and dynamic analysis of plate structures is presented. The performance of a proposed plate element is improved by the coupled use of non conforming displacement modes, the selective integration scheme, and the assumed shear strain fields. An efficient direct modification method is also applied to this element to solve the problem such as failure of the patch test due to the adoption of non conforming modes. The proposed quadratic finite element does not show any spurious mechanism and does not produce shear locking phenomena even with distorted meshes. It is shown that the results obtained by this element converged to analytical solutions very rapidly tough numerical tests for standard benchmark problems. It is also noted that this element is applicable to transient dynamic analysis of Mindlin plates.

In this paper, an energy detection-based low power, low complexity IR-UWB receiver in multipath impulse radio channel is presented. The proposed receiver has a simple 1-bit sampler for energy detection. Also, multipath signal received from multipath impulse radio channel is amplified and envelope of the signal is detected. Then, energy detection technique using integrator by summing multipath signals in certain period is adopted to minimize the BER loss by simple energy detection. In particular, in acquisition of a sample signal, SNR is additionally improved using a digital sampler. Symbol decision using several sampled signals is performed and thus the process of symbol synchronization is significantly simplified. Also, it is effectively designed to be compatible with influences of multipath and timing error. In addition, the proposed receiver complexity is reduced using pulse decision window. The performance of the proposed receiver is simulated based on IEEE 802.15.4a channel model and the algorithms are implemented on FPGA.

In this paper, a finite element technique is applied to the prediction of the wave resonance phenomena in harbors. The mild-slope equation is used with a partial reflection boundary condition introduced to model the energy dissipating effects on the solid boundary. For an efficient modeling of the radiation condition at infinity, a new infinite element is developed. The shape function of the infinite element is derived from the asymptotic behavior of the first kind of the Hankel's function in the analytical boundary series solutions. For the computational efficiency, the system matrices of the element are constructed by performing the relevant integrations in the infinite direction analytically. Comparisons with the results from experiments and other solution methods show that the present model gives fairly good results. Numerical experiments are also carried out to determine the proper distance to the infinite elements from the mouth of the halter, which directly affect the accuracy and efficiency of the solution.

In this study, the bisphenol-based DGEBA/GEBS blend systems were studied in cure kinetics, thermal stabilities, and fracture toughness of the casting specimen. The content of DGEBA/DCEBS was varied in 100 : 0, 90 : 10, 80 : 20, 70 : 30, and 60 : 40 wt%. The cure activation energies ($E_a$) of the blend systems were determined by Ozawa's equation. The thermal stabilities, including initial decomposed temperature (IDT), temperatures of maximum rate of degradation ($T_{max}$), and integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT) of the cured specimen were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). For the mechanical interfacial properties of the specimens, the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) test was performed and their fractured surfaces were examined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). As a result, $E_a$, IPDT, and $K_{IC}$ show maximum values in the 20 wt% DGEBS content compared with the neat DGEBA resins. This was probably due to the fact that the elevated networks were farmed by the introduction of sulfonyl groups of the DCEBS resin.

In this work, the epoxy specimens were prepared from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) with silane coupling agents (3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)) in different ratios. Thermal stability was studied in terms of polymer decomposition temperature (PDT), temperature of maximum rate of weight loss ($T_{max}$), integral procedural decomposition temperature (IPDT), and decomposition activation energy ($E_a$) using TGA analysis. Adhesion properties of epoxy composite specimens were measured by UTM (universal testing machine) at atmosphere temperature. In this result, the adhesion properties of DGEBF were improved by addition of silane coupling agents compared to non-treated epoxy resin. However, when the content of GPTMS agent is more than 10 phr, adhesion properties decreased with increasing GPTMS agent.

최근 들어 지구온난화의 영향 등 기후변화에 따라 호우의 빈도와 강도가 증가하여 홍수피해가 확대되고 토사재해, 댐과 저수지의 퇴사 문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 특히 농업용저수지의 경우 제체가 노후화되고 유입토사에 의한 퇴사는 심각한 수준에 있다. 또한 도심중심의 다양한 공사 등은 토지 이용과 피복을 변화시켜 많은 토사 유출의 원인이 되고 있다. 이렇게 노출된 토사는 탁수발생원이 되고, 토사와 부유물로 형성된 탁수환경은 수중의 태양복사에너지 전달을 방해하여 수중생태계의 먹이사슬과 저서생물의 서식환경에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 농업용 저수지는 반폐쇄성 수역으로써 탁수환경에 노출되기 쉬우며, 수질회복에는 많은 노력과 비용이 소요된다. 또한 탁수환경의 변화는 시 공간적으로 발생하고 지속적으로 일어나기 때문에 탁수환경에 미치는 토사에 대한 연구는 우선적으로 시행되어야 한다. 이러한 토사 정보의 추출 및 분석에 RS기법의 활용은 증대되고 있으나 우리나라에서는 아직 연구가 미진하여, 이에 대한 기초연구가 시급한 실정이다. 본 연구는 2단계로 진행하였다. 먼저 1단계는 탁도계(2100P turbidimeter)를 이용하여 토사농도 변화에 따른 탁도를 측정하여 탁도 관계식을 추정하였다. 2단계는 분광복사계(LI-1800)를 이용하여 토사농도 변화에 따른 분광반사율을 측정하고, 얻어진 결과는 도함수와 적분의 수치해석 방법으로 토사농도를 측정할 수 있는 최적밴드를 구하였다. 다음으로 각 밴드간의 비를 계산하여 탁수환경을 측정할 수 있는 가장 적합한 밴드 조합식을 구하였다. 얻어진 밴드 조합식은 1단계에서 추정한 토사농도에 따른 탁도 관계식과의 상관관계를 분석하여 분광복사계를 이용한 탁도 관계식을 추정하였다. 그 결과, 6개의 탁도 관계식이 추정되었으며 결정계수 $R^2$는 0.67의 높은 상관성을 보였다.

This paper proposes a real-time simulation technique for thin shells undergoing large deformation. Shells are thin objects such as leaves and papers that can be abstracted as 2D structures. Development of a satisfactory physical model that runs in real-time but produces visually convincing animation of thin shells has been remaining a challenge in computer graphics. Rather than resorting to shell theory which involves the most complex formulations in continuum mechanics, we adopt the energy functions from the discrete shells proposed by Grinspun et al. For real-time integration of the governing equation, we develop a modal warping technique for shells. This new simulation framework results from making extensions to the original modal warping technique which was developed for the simulation of 3D solids. We report experimental results, which show that the proposed method runs in real-time even for large meshes, and that it can simulate large bending and/or twisting deformations with acceptable realism.
