There is the high possibility of crack initiation from mechanical joints, which are widely used in aircraft fuselages, due to the development of stress concentration and contact pressure. In this paper, the mixed-mode stress intensity factors at the surface and deepest points of an inclined quarter elliptical corner crack in mechanical joints are analyzed by the weight function method. The coefficients included in the weight function are obtained by finite element analyses for reference loadings. Critical angle at which mode I stress intensity factor becomes maximum is determined by analyzing the variation of stress intensity factors along incline angle of crack and the effects of the amount of clearance and crack depth on the critical angle are investigated.

복잡한 형상을 지닌 터빈 블래이드의 결함을 검사하기 위해 현재 $35^\circ,\; 38^\circ,\; 40^\circ$의 횡파 굴절각을 지닌 탐촉자를 사용하고 있다. 이와 같은 굴절각은 초음파 빔의 경로를 Snell의 법칙에 의해 설정하고 있다. 그러나 터빈 블래이드 검사용 초음파 탐촉자를 제작하는 과정에서 $35^\circ$의 횡파 굴절각을 갖는 경사각 탐촉자는 제작이 어려움을 알았다. 이러한 원인은 철강재료의 종파임계각이 $33.2^\circ$의 횡과굴절각에 대응되며, 종파임계각 근처에서는 전반사 현상 때문에 에너지 투과율이 매우 작아 실제 시험대상체에 입사되는 에너지가 거의 없으며 또한 횡파굴절각이 약 $37.5^\circ$ 일때에 휭파의 에너지 투과율이 최대가 되어 wedge를 $37.5^\circ$ 이하의 횡파굴절각을 갖도록 설계하더라도 측정을 하면 $37.5^\circ$ 근처의 횡파굴 절각을 갖게된다. 즉, 종파임계각 근처에서는 전반사 현상에 의해 경계면에서의 에너지 투과가 매우 작아 횡파 굴절각은 Snell의 법칙이 아닌 초음파 에너지의 투과 정도를 나타내는 echo transmittance의 크기에 의해 결정된다.

Mechanical joints such as bolted or riveted joints are widely used in mechanical components. The reliable determination of the stress intensity factors for cracks in bolted joints is needed to evaluate the safety and fatigue life of them. The weight function method is an efficient technique to calculate the stress intensity factors for various loading conditions because only the stress analysis of an uncracked model is required. In this paper the mixed-mode stress intensity factors for cracks in bolted joints are obtained by weight function method, in which the coefficients of weight function are determined by finite element analyses for reference loadings. Critical inclined angle that mode I stress intensity factor becomes maximum is determined and the effects of crack length and the magnitude of clearance on critical inclined angle are investigated.

국지성 호우의 증가로 인해 도시 지역의 내수침수피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 특히 배수의 흐름이 집중되는 저지대 지역과 노후화된 하수관거가 설치된 지역에서 특히 피해가 집중되고 있으며, 이는 도로 측면에 설치된 빗물받이와 같은 하수시설에서 원활하게 배수가 되지 않기 때문에 강우 발생시 도로표면에 노면수가 정체되어 피해가 발생하고 있다. 과거 도로 노면의 형상과 강우의 임계 지속시간을 고려한 적정 우수 유출량 산정에 관한 연구가 진행된 바 있으나, 현재 발생하는 국지성 호우의 형태나 강우강도의 변화에 따른 유출량의 변화가 발생하였으며, 도달시간 산정식에 따른 매개변수의 차이와 새로운 도달시간 산정식의 개발로 도달시간의 결과가 크게 차이가 날 수 있다. 따라서 도로의 침수피해를 막고 교통 안정을 유지하기 위해서는 도로 조건을 고려한 도로 입구 및 하수관의 적절한 설계 등 다양한 연구가 주기적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 강우 유출 모델인 SWMM 모형과 계산식을 이용하여 도로 표면의 폭과 길이, 도로 종횡단의 변화량, 재 산정한 강우강도에 따른 유출량을 계산하였다. 도로 표면의 폭과 길이, 경사를 다양하게 입력하였으며, 또한 각 Case에 따라 최대 유출량을 생성하는 임계지속기간을 결정하고 다양한 도달시간 산정식의 결과와 비교하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과 도달시간은 산정식의 매개변수에 따라 차이가 발생하였으며, 도로표면의 길이와 횡단경사에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었으며, 횡단경사보다 종단경사가 클 경우 도달시간이 길어져 유량의 집중을 막는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

We studied the effects of induction of natural convection instability flow (NCIF) according to the gravitational orientation (inclined angle) of the membrane cell on the reduction of membrane fouling in the constant-flow ultrafiltration (UF) of colloidal silica solutions. Five colloidal silica solutions with different silica size (average size = 7, 12, 22, 50 nm and 78 nm) were used as UF test solutions. The silica particles in colloidal solutions form cakes on the membrane surface thereby causing severe membrane fouling. The constant-flow UF performance according to the gravitational orientation of the membrane cell (from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ inclined angle), was examined in an unstirred dead-end cell. We evaluate the effects of NCIF on the suppression of fouling formation by measuring the variation of transmembrane pressure (TMP) and the increase of critical flux by using the flux-stepping method. In the constant-flow dead-end UF for the smaller size (7, 12 nm and 22 nm) silica colloidal solutions, changing the gravitational orientation (inclined angle) of the membrane cell above the $30^{\circ}$ angle induces NCIF in the membrane module. This induced NCIF enhances back transport of the deposited silica solutes away from the membrane surface, therefore gives for the reduction of TMP. But in the constant-flow UF for the more larger size (50 nm and 78 nm) silica colloidal solutions, NCIF effects are not appearing. The critical flux is increased as increasing the module angle and decreasing the silica size. Those results show that the intesity of NCIF occurrence in membrane module is more higher as increasing the module angle and decreasing the silica size.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of tunnel slope on critical velocity by using the model funnel of the 1/20 reduced-scale applying the Floods scaling law. the square liquid pool burners were used for methanol, acetone and n-heptane fires. tunnel. Tunnel slopes varied as five different degrees $0^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$, $4^{\circ}$, $6^{\circ}$ and $8^{\circ}$. The mass loss rate and the temperatures are measured by a load celt and K-type thermocouples for tunnel slope. Present study results in bigger the critical velocity than the research of Atikinson and Wu using the propane burner. Therefore, when estimating the critical velocity in slope tunnel, the variations of the heat release rate is an important factor. The reason is the ventilation velocity directly affects variation of heat release rate when slope tunnel fire occurred.

Ultimate load factors of PPWS(Prefabricated Parallel Wire Strand) sockets in main cables of suspension bridges are studied with respect to the tapered angles of the inner surface of sockets. After briefly reviewing the current design method, 15 numbers of finite element models of sockets are prepared by varying the number of wires in a strand and the tapered angles. The finite element models are updated by comparing experimental and numerical results, so that the models can reflect the real behavior of sockets. The stress distributions at the first yielding and ultimate states are analyzed by performing the incremental load analysis using ABAQUS. It is concluded that the optimized tapered angle of sockets should be determined at the specific angle between the results of verification equations of the required bonding length and stress resistance length.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effect of the inclination angle on the nucleate pool boiling of saturated water at atmospheric pressure. We considered an annulus with a gap of 5 mm and a bottom opening. The inner tube of the annulus was heated, and the outer diameter and the length of the tube were 25.4 mm and 500 mm, respectively. The inclination angle was varied from horizontal to vertical. The results were compared to those for an annulus with a larger gap and a single tube. In the small-gap annulus, the effect of the inclination angle on the heat transfer was not significant. However, an early onset of the critical heat flux was observed at 80 kW/$m^2$ when the annulus was horizontal. Liquid agitation and bubble coalescence were considered to be the major heat-transfer mechanisms.

Subcritical crack growth in rock material can occur under monotonic and cyclic loading. Subcritical crack growth plays an important role in evaluating the long-term stability of structures in rocks. This paper presents the results of studies conducted to determine subcritical crack growth parameters under monotonic and cyclic loading in rock-like material. The constant stress rate method was employed for monotonic loading. The subcritical crack growth parameter of n under cyclic loading was determined by the relation between the rate of crack growth per cycle and stress intensity factor range. The specimens contained pre-existing flaws with 45 and 60 degrees of inclination angle and flaws spacing and continuity were varied to arrange crack growth in shear or tensile manner. The results show that the parameter of n is almost constant regardless of the applied load conditions such as monotonic and cyclic or shear and tension.

Recently, the frequency of occurring dynamic events such as earthquakes, explosives blasting and other types of vibration has been increasing. Besides, the chances of exposure for rock discontinuities to free faces get higher as the scale of rock mass structures become larger. For that reason, the frictional behavior of rock joints under dynamic conditions needs to be investigated. In this study, artificially fractured rock joint specimens were prepared in order to examine the dynamic frictional behavior of rough rock joint. Roughness of each specimen was characterized by measuring surface topography using a laser profilometer and a series of shaking table tests was carried out. For mated joints, the static friction angle back-calculated ken the yield acceleration was $2.7^{\circ}$ lower than the tilt angle on average. The averaged dynamic friction angle for unmated joints was $1.8^{\circ}$ lower than the tilt angle. Displacement patterns of sliding block were classified into 4 types and proved to be related to the first order asperity of rock joint. The tilt angle and the static friction angle for mated joints seem to be correlated to micro average inclination angle which represents the second order asperity. The tilt angle and the dynamic friction angle for unmated Joints, however, have no correlation with roughness parameters. Friction angles obtained by shaking table test were lower than those by direct shear test.
