Granite core samples and bulk samples were first subjected to petrographic examination to determine weathering degrees. Secondly, their physical or mechanical properties including specific gravity, porosity, sonic wave velocity and uniaxial compressive strength were measured. The results were correlated to investigate the influences between properties including physical and mechanical properties, weathering degrees, and rock textures. Porosity and P wave velocity were found the most useful indices in determining the weathering degrees of granites.

Platycodin D was isolated from n-butanol extract of Platycodi radix(Platycodon grandiflorum and identified by the spectroscopic analysis using $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR techniques. A new method of analysis of platycodin D by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was established using a reversed phase system with YMC-Pack ODS-AM( 250 X 4.6 mm) column and 30% acetonitrile as a mobile phase. Evaporative light scattering detector was used as detector. The kinds of extraction solvents and methods were examined to determine the efficient extraction condition and HPLC analysis was carried out to establish the optimum drying condition for the root of Platycodon grandiflorum. The contents of Platycodin D was highest as 0.083% when platycodon roots were dried at $60^{\circ}C$ using dry oven.

In this study, in order to overcome the weakness of acoustic field analysis which is generally used for ultrasonic probe performance evaluation, automatic acoustic field measurement system and evaluation parameters were proposed. The comparisons between acoustic field simulation and measured acoustic distribution data of normal and abnormal channels were conducted to evaluate the availability of proposed system and evaluation parameters. First, the impulse response characteristic of sample probe was investigated to classify the normal elements and abnormal elements. And then, normal channels and abnormal channels with abnormal element were chosen. The suggested 12 evaluation parameters were calculated using the acoustic fields of these channels. The availability of proposed automatic acoustic field measurement system and evaluation parameters was confirmed. And the performance evaluation of ultrasonic probe using acoustic field analysis could be easier and faster.

This study was conducted to develop predictive models for the growth of Bacillus cereus on carrot treated with slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAcEW) and ultrasonication (US) at different storage temperatures. In addition, the inactivation of B. cereus by US with SAcEW was investigated. US treatment with a frequency of 40 kHz and an acoustic energy density of 400 W/L at $40^{\circ}C$ for 3 min showed the maximum reduction of 2.87 log CFU/g B. cereus on carrot, while combined treatment of US (400 W/L, $40^{\circ}C$, 3 min) with SAcEW reached to 3.1 log CFU/g reduction. Growth data of B. cereus on carrot treated with SAcEW and US at different temperatures (4, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and $35^{\circ}C$) were collected and used to develop predictive models. The modified Gompertz model was found to be more suitable to describe the growth data. The specific growth rate (SGR) and lag time (LT) obtained from the modified Gompertz model were employed to establish the secondary models. The newly developed secondary models were validated using the root mean square error, bias factor, and accuracy factor. All results of these factors were in the acceptable range of values. After compared SGR and LT of B. cereus on carrot, the results showed that the growth of B. cereus on carrot treated with SAcEW and US was slower than that of single treatment. This result indicates that shelf life of carrot treated with SAcEW and US could be extended. The developed predictive models might also be used to assess the microbiological risk of B. cereus infection in carrot treated with SAcEW and US.

By using shear mixing and ultrasonication, we fabricated specimens of well-dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotube composites. To confirm the proper dispersion of the filler, we used scanning electron microscopy images for quantitative evaluation and a tensile test for qualitative assessment. Furthermore, the coefficients of thermal expansion of several specimens having different filler contents were calculated from the measured thermal strains and temperatures of the specimens. Based on the microscopy images of the well-dispersed fillers and the small deviations in the measurements of the tensile strength and stiffness, we confirmed the proper dispersion of nanotubes in the epoxy. As the filler contents were increased, the values of tensile strength increased from 58.33 to 68.81 MPa, and those of stiffness increased from 2.93 to 3.27 GPa. At the same time, the coefficients of thermal expansion decreased. This implies better thermal stability of the specimen.

댐 건설은 홍수 및 가뭄에 대응하기 위한 구조적 방법으로써 우리나라와 같이 지표수에 의존적인 지역에서는 가용 수자원을 확보하기 위한 확실한 수단으로 활용되어왔다. 신규 댐의 건설은 대상 하천의 수리학적 특성에 큰 변화를 야기할 수 있으며, 댐의 안정성 및 하천의 하도보호를 위해 댐 주변의 수리적 특성의 변화에 대해서도 사전에 인지하여 설계 시 반영할 필요가 있다. 수공구조물 신설에 따라 변화되는 수리학적 특성을 분석하는 방법으로는 그 수단에 따라 상사법칙을 적용한 수리모형실험과 수치기법을 활용한 수치모형실험으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통한 실험적 방법을 이용하여 댐 상하류 구간의 수리학적 특성을 분석하였다. 해당 실험은 한국농어촌공사 농어촌연구원의 대형수리모형실험시설에서 수행되었다. 적용대상 댐의 제원은 높이 약 70m, 길이 약 230m이며, 폭 55m의 여수로를 포함하는 구조로 설정하였다. 수리모형은 Froude 상사법칙을 적용하여 1/30 규모로 축소하였으며, 콘크리트 및 아크릴 재료를 이용하여 제작되었다. 댐 모형이 설치되는 하천구간은 댐 구조물을 포함하여 실규모를 기준으로 흐름방향으로 약 800m, 하폭방향으로 약 450m의 범위를 포함하도록 설계되었으며, 하류구간에 사행하천이 존재하는 것이 특징이다. 본 실험에서 유량은 총 12개의 펌프를 이용하여 공급되었으며, 최대 4cms에 해당하는 유량공급이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 공급유량은 정교한 절차에 의해 보정된 전자식 유량계를 통해 통제되었으며, 사용된 유량계의 허용오차는 약 0.5% 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 수위 측정은 오차범위 0.05mm 수준의 초음파 수위측정기를 이용하였으며, 유속측정은 약 0.5cm/s의 정확도를 지닌 3차원 전자기 유속계를 이용한 접촉식 측정과 흐름구조 가시화를 위한 비접촉식 입자추적기법을 병행하였다. 실험조건은 실규모 기준으로 방류량 3,000~5,000cms에 대해 수행하였으며, 각 방류량별 댐 상하류의 흐름패턴에 대해 정량적으로 분석하였다.

The setting time which is the important element for the determination of slip-up speed of Slip-Form system is the hardening time of early-age concrete when the in place concrete has minimum compressive strength before the concrete appears out of Slip-Form system. But it is very difficult to predict the setting time because it depends on not only the composition ratio of concrete but also various conditions of construction fields. Thus, the technique to estimate accurately and continuously the hardening time of early-age in place concrete during operating Slip-Form system is necessary to guarantee the safety of Slip-Form system and the maintenance of the shape of concrete. Ultrasonic wave-based nondestructive testing methods have the advantages which are accurate and continuous in estimating concrete compressive strength. Of such methods, the method using surface wave which propagates along the surface of material is effective for thick member such as a pylon. Thus, in this paper a study on the determination of slip-up speed for Slip-Form system using surface wave velocity is performed. The relation between the slip-up speed of Slip-Form system and the setting time is formulated, and the surface wave velocity is estimated from continuous wavelet transform of the numerical results for surface wave propagation. Finally, the accuracy of this method according to the distance between the wave source and receivers and the relation between the estimated surface wave velocity and the elastic modulus are investigated.

The thermal fatigue crack(TFC) is one of the life-limiting mechanisms at the nuclear power plant operating conditions. In order to evaluate the structural integrity, various non-destructive test methods such as radiographic test, ultrasonic test and eddy current are used in the industrial field. However, these methods have restrictions that defect detection is possible after the crack growth. For this reason, acoustic emission testing(AET) is becoming one of powerful inspection methods, because AET has an advantage that possible to monitor the structure continuously. Generally, every mechanism that affects the integrity of the structure or equipment is a source of acoustic emission signal. Therefore the noise filtering is one of the major works to the almost AET researchers. In this study, acoustic emission signal was collected from the pipes which were in the successive thermal fatigue cycles. The data were filtered based on the results from previous experiments. Through the data analysis, the signal characteristics to distinguish the effective signal from the noises for the TFC were proven as the waveform difference. The experiment results provide preliminary information for the acoustic emission technique to the continuous monitoring of the structure failure detection.

In this paper, the superposition of ultrasonic signals which were generated by multi-source in a transformer was presented. For analysis of ultrasonic superposition, V$_{peak-peak}$ and pulse number of ultra-sonic signal were used. As a result, the wave form of ultrasonic superposition was classified into three types ; First type was the wave form whose V$_{peak-peak}$ was increased by the superposition of each signal's V$_{peak-peak}$. Second type was wave form whose V$_{peak-peak}$ was decreased by the superposition of each signal's V$_{peak-peak}$. And the other type was wave form whose peals were two or mere.

Pipelines in power plants, nuclear facilities and chemical industries are often affected by corrosion effects. It is important to inspect the internal defects in pipelines in oder to guarantee safe operational condition. We have taken relatively much time, cost and manpower to use conventional NDT methods because these methods are contact measuring methods. In this paper, we used digital shearography, a laser-based optical method which allows full-field measurement of surface displacement derivatives. This method has many advantages in practical use, such as low sensitivity to environmental noise, simple optical configuration and real time measurement. The experiment was performed with pressure vessels which has different internal cracks and detected internal cracks in the pressure vessels at a real time using phase shifting method.
