In order to accelerate the rate of consolidation settlement and to gain a required shear strength for a given soft clay deposit, the preloadina technique combined with a vertical drainage system has been widely applied. Even if a sophisticated numerical analysis technique is applied to solve the consolidation behavior of drainage-installed soft deposits, the actual field behavior is often different from the behavior predicted in the design state due to several uncertainties involved in soil properties, numerical modelling, and measuring system. In this paper, two back-analysis schemes such hs simplex and BFGS methods have been implemented in an a Bisymmetric consolidation program, AXICON which considers the variation of compressibility and permeability during the consolidation process. Utilizing the program, one might be able to appropriately predict the subsequent consolidation behavior from the measured data in an early stage of consolidation of drainage-installed soft deposits.

The rifling design problem has continuous-type shape variables and an integral number of riflings. In addition, it requires considerable time for analysis because its behavior should be described by a nonlinear finite element model (FEM). Therefore, this study presents an efficient design process for rifling based on a design of experiment (DOE) approach. First, Bose's orthogonal array is used to represent 25 runs for four design variables including three shape variables and one integer variable. Then, nonlinear FE analyses are performed. Next, to minimize the bullet resistance without affecting the bullet velocity and bullet rotational angle immediately before a bullet leaves the gun barrel, a what-if design is performed. In the proposed what-if design, a functional including the design objective and constraints is constructed and effect analysis is performed by using the functional. It is found that the new design obtained from the what-if design shows better results than the current one.

In this paper, we developed an EM wave absorber having the absorption ability of more than 15 dB for port logistics RFID system by using AMP. Firstly, we fabricated EM wave absorber by using AMP and CPE(Chlorinated Polyethylene) with different composition ratios 80:20 wt.% and 85:15 wt.%. Secondly, we designed the optimum EM wave absorber using the calculated material constants obtained from measured input impedance of the samples. Therefore, EM wave absorber with absorption ability of 17.5 dB at 433 MHz when composition ratio of AMP:CPE=85:15 wt.% and thickness of 5.5 mm.

하천 내 식생의 분포는 흐름저항의 증가와 수위상승에 큰 영향을 미치는 요소 중 하나이다. 동일한 단면정보를 가졌더라도 식생이 분포하는 하도는 식생이 없는 하도에 비해 흐름저항으로 인해 유속이 현저히 느려져 홍수위 상승을 유발하기 때문이다. 따라서 식생의 종류, 크기, 분포 형태, 잎의 밀도 등에 따라 흐름저항계수를 정량화하며 흐름을 정확히 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 2019년 한국건설기술연구원 하천실험센터에서 진행된 식생하도에 대한 실규모 실험의 조건과 지형정보를 HEC-RAS(Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System) 1차원 수치모형에 입력하고, 식생 패치의 분포를 고려한 Manning's n의 공간적 분포 및 적용방식에 따른 수면 경사 재현 정확도에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 실험은 상단 폭 11 m, 경사 1:2(V:H)의 사다리꼴 단면을 가진 실규모 수로에서 70 m 길이의 구간을 대상으로 진행되었다. 실험 구간 내 6개의 압력식 수위계를 설치해 수위 측정 및 수면 경사 산정을 실행하였다. 실험 조건으로 적용된 인공 식생패치의 분포 및 밀도 조건은 3가지로 큰 패치와 작은 패치로 구성된 조밀한 조건, 단일 패치로 구성된 조밀한 조건, 단일 패치로 구성된 성긴 조건이었으며, 모두 정수(emergent)상태로 진행되었다. 적용된 패치의 형상은 내성천에서 조사된 자연 형태의 식생패치 형태를 참고하였으며, 버드나무 종을 모사하였다. 실험 조건에 따라 유량은 각각 평균 1.5 cms와 2.7 cms로 공급하였으며, 평균 수심은 약 1 m로 측정되었다. 위 실험 내용을 바탕으로 수치모의를 위한 경계조건과 지형정보를 수립하였으며 모의 케이스는 크게 두 가지로, 수로 내 식생의 분포를 종방향으로 고려한 케이스와 횡방향으로 고려하여 조도계수를 적용한 케이스로 분류하였다. 모의에 적용된 조도계수는 실험에서 획득한 데이터와 베르누이 방정식을 활용하여 산정되었으며, 두 케이스에 대한 모의 결과는 실험에서 관측된 수위와 비교하였다. 본 연구에 따르면 여러 개의 식생패치가 정수상태로 존재하는 하천에 대한 1차원 수치모의 시 식생의 분포를 종방향으로 고려하여 하나의 구간조도계수를 적용하는 방식이 종횡단면의 식생패치 위치를 고려한 조도계수를 세분화하여 적용하는 방식에 비해 수위 계산 정확도가 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Geotechnical variability is a complex feature that results from many independent sources of uncertainties, and is mainly affected by inherent variability and measurement errors. This study evaluates the coefficient of variation (COV) of soil properties and soil layers at Song-do region in Korea. Since soil variability is sensitive to soil layers and soil types, the Cays by soil layers (reclaimed layer and marine layer) and the COVs by soil types (clay and silt) were separately evaluated. It is observed that geotechnical variability of marine layer and clay is relatively smaller than that of reclamation layer and silt. And, the highly weathered rock and soil show the higher cays in the interpretation of the strength parameters of the fresh and weathered rock. And the proposed COV of Songdo area can be used for the reliability-based design procedure.

이동장수 먹는샘물 공장부지내에 파쇄대에 위치한 관정에서 인공수압파쇄 및 인공함양 시험을 실시하여 대수성 산출 증대효과와 저장 증대효과를 살펴보았다. 인공수압파쇄 시험은 두개의 관정(MW-2, O-7)에 실시하였고, 마찬가지로 인공함양 시험도 다른 두개의 관정(O-7a, MW-7)에 대해서 실시하였다. 또한 대수성 산출능의 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 인공수압파쇄 및 인공함양시험 전후에 각각 양수 시험을 실시하여 비양수량, 투수계수, 및 수위강하를 구하였다. 따라서 사전 사후 대수성 시험 비교 결과 인공수압파쇄 시험에서는 평균적으로 약 367 %의 투수계수의 증가율과 271 %의 비양수량의 증가를 나타내었다. 마찬가지로 인공함양 시험 결과 O-7a는 약 110%의 투수계수의 증가와 약 75%의 비양수량의 증가를 보였다. 반면에 MW-7는 거의 변화가 없었다. 인공함양시험은 인공수압파쇄시험보다 낮은 투수계수 증가율을 보이거나 거의 변화를 일으키지 못했지만 주변에 있는 관정에 주입압과 비슷한 양상를 갖는 수위변화를 일으키는 것으로 보아서 함양된 주입수가 주변의 대수층에 널리 퍼져 있을 것으로 추측된다.

The feasibility of using low cost, unpowered, unshielded dynamic microphones is investigated for cost effective contactless sensing of impact-echo signals in concrete structures. Impact-echo tests on a delaminated concrete slab specimen were conducted and the results were used to assess the damage detection capability of the low cost system. Results showed that the dynamic microphone successfully captured impact-echo signals with a contactless manner and the delaminations in concrete structures were clearly detected as good as expensive high-end air pressure sensor based non-contact impact-echo testing.

Satellite propulsion system is employed for orbit transfer, orbit correction, and attitude control. The monopropellant feeding system in the low-earth-orbit satellite blowdowns fuel to the thrust chamber. The thrust produced by the thruster depends on fuel amount flowed into the combustion chamber. If the thruster valve be given on-off signal from on-board commander in the satellite, valve will be opened or closed. When the thrusters fire fuel flows through opened thruster valve, instantaneous stoppage of flow in according to valve actuation produces transient pressure due to pressure wave. This paper describes transient pressure predictions of the KOMPSAT-2 propulsion system resulting from latching valve and thrust control valve operations. The time-dependent set of the fluid mass and momentum equations are calculated by MOC.

Steady and unsteady three-dimensional RANS simulations have been performed on partial admission supersonic axial turbine having backward/forward sweep angles(${\pm}15^{\circ}$) and the results are compared with each other. The objective of this paper is to study the effect of unsteadiness on turbine flow characteristics and performances. The all results indicated that the losses of unsteady simulations were greater than those of steady cases. It was also shown that BSW model give the effect on the reducing of mass flow rates of tip leakage. In unsteady simulation, the increase of t-to-s efficiency at Rotor Out plane was observed more clearly.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effects of equivalence ratio on the propagation characteristics of $CH_4$-air premixed flame intervened by an ultrasonic standing wave. A Schlieren photography was used for the flame structure visualization, and the flame propagation behavior was investigated in detail throughout the post-processing analysis. It is found that the structural variation of methane/air premixed flame caused by the intervention of ultrasonic standing wave give rise to the enhancement of combustion reaction and flame propagation velocity. Effectiveness of the standing wave on the flame velocity decreases as the equivalence ratio increases. Larger flame velocity with the standing wave becomes undistinguishable in a specific range of equivalence ratios.
