This paper came up with the theoretical modelling of the metrology for the acoustic power using ultrasonic radiation force and showed some theoretical results. In order to do this, a scattering model for a rigid circular cone based upon the Kirchhoff approximation was made, which was followed by the calculation of acoustic power, and then, was converted to the radiation force. From these works, it provided the accuracy and limitation of the conventional method using a circular cone, and the expanded metrology modelling that can be applied to a circular cone with arbitrary apex angle. Using these, this study provided the dependence of the metrology for the acoustic power using ultrasonic radiation force on the frequency and the size of the target. As a result, the correction was yielded in the value of the acoustic power calculated by the suggested International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) method, which needs to be added when the frequency and the size of the target was considered.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic biometric data on Korean adults through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based measurements of the distances between the apex of sacral hiatus (SH) and the termination of dural sac (DS), and between SH and conus medullaris (CM) because they are critical to the performance of epidural neuroplasty. A total of 200 patients(88 males and 112 females) with back pain, who had no spine fracture, significant spinal deformity, and spondyloisthesis were selected for this study. The subjects were of mean age 54.3 (20~84) years and mean height 161.3 cm (135~187). T2-weighted MRI images were used for correlation analysis to evaluate the relationships between the distances, and variables such as sex and height. In all patients, the mean distance between SH and DS was $62.8{\pm}9.4mm$ and the mean distance between SH and CM was $232.2{\pm}21.8mm$. The minimum distance and the maximum distance between SH and DS were 34.8 mm and 93.9 mm respectively, and the minimum distance and the maximum distance between SH and CM were 155.0 mm and 284.0 mm respectively. In female patients, both the distances between the SH and DS, and between SH and CM were shorter when compared to those of the male patients(p<0.05). Both the distances between SH and DS and between SH and CM showed a significant correlation with height(p<0.01). The results of this study will provide a useful biometric data on the distances between SH and DS and between SH and CM in Korean in ensuring clinical safety and in the development of more effective catheterization techniques for epidural neuroplasty in Korean.

The sharp indenters such as Berkovich and conical indenters have a geometrical self-similarity in theory, but different materials have the same load-depth curve in case of single indentation. In this study, we analyze the load-depth curves of conical indenter with angles of indenter via finite element method. From FE analyses of dual-conical indentation test, we investigate the relationships between indentation parameters and load-deflection curves. With numerical regressions of obtained data, we finally propose indentation formulae for material properties evaluation. The proposed approach provides stress-strain curve and the values of elastic modulus, yield strength and strain-hardening exponent with an average error of less than 2%. It is also discussed that the method is valid for any elastically deforming indenters made of tungsten carbide and diamond for instance. The proposed indentation approach provides a substantial enhancement in accuracy compared with the prior methods.

In this paper, miniaturized conically stepped COBRA is proposed. In order to prevent electrical breakdown, COBRA, which consists of hem and lens, has to get bigger if it is designed with conventional method. Because of the phase error increase, shortening the length of the antenna without changing the aperture size leads to the reduction of the antenna gain. To avoid this, the phase error at the aperture is compensated by transforming the COBRA lens into conically stepped form. The simulations result shows that the proposed antenna has higher gain than the conventional COBRA in spite of the size reduction from 1,300 mm to 600 mm. The fabricated and measured COBRA has the gain of 26.2 dBi.

Nowadays in school mathematics, the skill and method for solving problems are often emphasized in preference to the theoretical principles of mathematics. Students pay attention to how to make an equation mechanically before even understanding the meaning of the given problem. Furthermore they do not get to really know about the principle or theorem that were used to solve the problem, or the meaning of the answer that they have obtained. In contemporary textbooks the conic section such as circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola are introduced as the cross section of a cone. But they do not mention how conic section are connected with the quadratic equation or how these curves are related mutually. Students learn the quadratic equations of the conic sections introduced geometrically and are used to manipulating it algebraically through finding a focal point, vertex, and directrix of the cross section of a cone. But they are not familiar with relating these equations with the cross section of a cone. In this paper, we try to understand the quadratic curves better through the analysis of the discussion made in the process of the discovery and eventual development of the conic section and then seek for way to improve the teaching and learning methods of quadratic curves.

일반적 의미의 성형폭약이라 함은 폭약 중에 빈공간이 존재하여 표면쪽으로 개방되어 있는 한덩이의 고폭약을 말한다. 이런 이유로 절단 단면의 형상은 주로 V 자형을 이루고 있으며 보통 V자의 뽀족한 부분이 기폭부분이 된다. 성형폭약은 그 생김새를 기준으로 크게 2가지로 나눌 수가 있는데 원뿔형과 선형이 그것이다. 원뿔형 성형폭약은 그 초기 발전단계부터 군용 대장갑용으로 명성을 떨쳤으며 현재에도 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 상태이다. 이에 비해 선형 성형폭약은 철구조물 해체나 여러 용도의 민간/상업용 절단도구로 많이 쓰이고 있는데 두 번의 세계전쟁을 치루며 엄청난 규모의 물질적 인적 지원을 바탕으로 발전한 원뿔형 성형폭약에 비해서 턱없이 연구실적이 부족한 상태이다. 이 논문에서는 일반적인 선형 성형폭약의 관통력에 대한 연구가 아닌 기능적 측면에 대한 연구결과를 서술하며, 기능적 측면상 중요한 몇 개의 항목에 대한 수량화, 정의 및 연구가 이루어진다. 그 항목으로는 발전거리(run up distance), 이격거리(stand off distance), 기폭위치에 따른 절단모양, 파편 분간 형상 등이 있으며 각 항목에 대한 하류 항목들은 본문에서 다루어진다. 모든 실험은 University of Missouri-Rolla, Rock Mechanics and Explosives Research Center 에서 이루어 졌으며 대부분의 실험은 500grain/ft 선형성형폭약을 사용하여, 기폭 후 철제목표물을 관통한 형상 및 관통 단면을 관찰하는 형식으로 이루어졌다.

In this paper, supersonic jets impinging on axisymmetric cone were investigated to obtain fundamental design data for jet deflector case of example being VTOL/STOL or rocket launch. It was of interest to study flow phenomena such as shock interactions and separation induced by shear layer. Experiments were conducted to obtain schlieren flow visualization and measurement of surface pressure. Numerical results are compared with the experimental result. The dominant feature of the flow is the shock pattern induced by the interaction between the cone shock and the barrel shock. This pattern can take a wide variety of forms depending on the structure of the free jet and strongly influences the form of the surface pressure distributions.

In this paper, the shock angle and effect had been compared with numerical data within supersonic area at an forebody such as missiles or an aircraft. By using supersonic wind tunnel in Seoul National University, The shock position and magnitude were measured in the model of cone shape according to mach number. The experiment had been conducted at mach number 2.0, 3.0, and 3.8. As a result, the shock position and magnitude are different from flow velocity, AOA, and AOS in some cases blockage effect had occurred.
