In determination of the crest height of a vertical structure against attacking of obliquely incident waves, most of existing studies have suggested to use the overtopping reduction factor due to incident angles. However, they have not considered the amplification of wave heights and the spatial distribution of wave overtopping. In this study, a spatial distribution of overtopping due to the amplification of wave heights along a vertical structure is investigated experimentally. It is recommended that the crest height can be determined by the same manner as that for normally incident waves up to 3 significant wave lengths from the one end of the structure. However, the rest part of the structure can be done by employing the overtopping reduction factor with considering the amplification of wave heights and the spatial distribution of wave overtopping.

Aspheric pick-up lenses are increasingly used in consumer products such as computer and multimedia, as their mass production has become possible owing to the injection molding process. However still much work needs to be done for more effective manufacture of aspheric lenses, one area of which is the in-line inspection of produced lenses. In this paper, we present a lateral-shearing interferometer that has specially been designed to have a high immunity to external vibration and atmospheric disturbance. The interferometer comprises four prisms. They are directly attached to each other using an immersion oil so that relative sliding motions between the prisms are allowed. Their relative displacement can readily generate necessary lateral-shearing and phase-shifting to determine the wavefront of the beam collimated by the lens under inspection. A special phase-measuring algorithm of arbitrary-bucket is adopted to compensate the phase-shifting error caused by the thickness reduction in the immersion oil. Zernike polynomial fitting has done for determinating quantitative aberration of aspheric pick-up lenses. The interferometer built in this work is robust to external mechanical vibration and atmospheric disturbance so that experimental results show that it has a repeatability of less than λ/100.

The culticular substructure of the venom apparatus in the orb-web spider Araneus ventricosus are studied with scanning electron microscopy. The apparatus is composed of chelicera and paired venom glands in the cephalothorax. Each chelicera consists of a basal segment and a movable fang that articulates with each other. The chelicera of this spider is labidognathous form that moves at right angles to the body axis, and has two segments similar to that of a folding jackknife. Each cylindrical fang has a specialized hinge joint which articulate with the cheliceral groove which contains numerous small protrusions. In addition, each side of cheliceral groove is covered with a total of 7 cuticular teeth in two rows which composed of 4 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth. It has been also observed that a single venom pore is always located toward the direction of retromarginal teeth, and surface cuticular pits are distributed on the cuticular depressive area of cheliceral groove.

For the case of the capacity increase of Masan-Changwon wastewater treatment plant, the changes of near-field dilution rates due to the increased discharges into Masan Bay from the submerged multipart-diffuser were predicted by using CORMIX model. As the increase of wastewater discharges from currently 280,000 m3f day to 720,000 m3fday by 2011, the dilution rates become much lower than the present rates. To enhance the reduced dilution rates, the engineering design changes of diffuser length and alignment were considered as an optimal engineering option. According to the results of the model simulations for these changes, the dilution rates were increased in the strong ambient current of spring tide, but they were not affected by these changes in the weak current of neap tide in Masan Bay. From the analysis of oceanographic survey data, new outfalls sites have been searched. A promising outfalls site is selected and proposed on the basis of maximum obtainable dilution rates predicted by the model simulations.

Numerical analysis was conducted to predict the damage of indoor gas explosion for the propagation of explosion flame. Indoor gas diffusion distribution due to gas leakage was obtained by diffusion equation that adopted initial conditions from reference. Enthalpy of each gas-mixture ratio and reduced mechanism was applied to calculate flame temperature, and laminar combustion velocities with the variant of each gas concentration from reference were applied to the gas mixture. Turbulent combustion velocity was modeled by coupling of turbulent energy and laminar combustion velocity in k-$\epsilon$ model. For the analysis of flame propagation cartesian and cylindrical coordinate were used to indoor position and flame propagation respectively. The study analyzes the cause of pressure rising with the variation of flame propagation by glass damage, and the result shows that indoor pressure rising with ignition position varies window dimension.

In this study, a prototype abutment was constructed to establish a safety assessment technique of pier and a series of non-destructive tests using impact load. The surcharge load was loaded from 0 tonf to 2.5 tonf on the prototype abutment, and maximum surcharge load was up to 25 tonf. To analyze the behavior of the piers according to the direction of impact, a total of three types of analysis were performed: the direction of the pier, the direction perpendicular to the pier, and the outer direction of the pier. The height of the impact was also tested at each top and bottom. The measuring instrument used an accelerometer to measure the acceleration response when impacted. Based on the series of experimental results, specific values were calculated according to the direction of an impact and the surcharge load using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In addition, the phase difference was used to analyze the pier from the primary 1st mode to the 4th mode.

횡월류위어(side weir)는 하천의 수위가 한계수위 이상으로 상승할 경우 본류로부터 저류지나 분수로(distributary channel)로 흐름을 전환하기 위하여 사용하는 수공구조물로 강변저류지나 off-line저류지의 유입부에 흐름방향과 평행하게 설치되어 유량관리 및 전환, 홍수통제, 에너지 소산, 수위조절, 일정 유량의 취수 및 분배, 초과 홍수량의 전환 등의 목적으로 이용되는 구조물이다. 횡월류 위어의 월류 흐름은 일반위어와 같이 위어마루부 직각방향으로 흐르지 않고 본류 흐름특성에 따라 비스듬하게 유입된다. 이러한 흐름특성으로 횡월류위어 월류량은 본류의 하폭, 흐름특성, 위어길이 및 설치위치 등에 따라 각기 다르게 산정된다. 현재 국내에서 진행된 횡월류위어 흐름특성에 관련된 연구는 대부분 직선수로에 집중되어 있으며 사행하천의 흐름특성에 따른 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 금회 연구에서는 3차원 상용프로그램인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 사행하천구간 유입부 설치위치 특성에 따른 횡월류 위어 유입흐름 특성을 분석하였다. 사행하천 구간 횡월류위어 설치위치에 따른 3차원 흐름해석을 위해 AUTO CAD 프로그램을 이용하여 수로길이 30m, 수로폭 2m의 구형 사행수로를 구성하였고, 횡월류위어 유입부 위치를 20°~120°로 변화시키며 수치모형실험을 수행하였다. 해석결과 수로흐름은 유입부 설치각이 작을수록 상·하류 수위차가 작아지며 유속이 감소하며 설치위치각이 클수록 수로내 평균유속은 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 유입부 설치각이 작을수록 방류량이 증가하여 수로내 흐름분리현상 증가하였고 이로인한 지체현상이 발생하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구로 사행하천구간에 횡월류위어가 설치된 경우, 월류량과 수리학적 흐름특성을 해석할 때 3차원 수치모형실험이 유용한 해석도구로 이용될 수 있음이 확인되었다. 이후 수치모형실험이 수공구조물 설계 및 해석 시 참고자료로 이용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

In a practical engineering, the equivalent static analysis (E.S.A) and the response spectrum analysis (R.S.A) are generally used for the seismic analysis. The base shears obtained from the E.S.A are invariable no matter how the principal axes of building structures are specified on an analysis program while those from the R.S.A are variable. Accordingly, the designed member size may be changed by how an engineer specify the principal axes of a structure when the R.S.A is used. Moreover, the base shears in the normal direction to the excitation axis are sometimes produced even when an engineer performs a response spectrum analysis in only one direction. This tendency makes the base shear, which is used to calculate the scale-up factor, relatively small. Therefore the scale-up factor becomes larger and it results in uneconomical member sizes. To overcome these disadvantages of the R.S.A, an alternative has been proposed in this study. Three types of example structures were adapted in this study, i.e. bi-direction symmetric structure, one-direction antisymmetric structure and bi-direction antisymmetric structure. The seismic analyses were performed by rotating the principal axes of the example structures with respect to the global coordinate system. The design member forces calculated with the scale-up factor used in the practice were compared with those obtained by using the scale-up factor proposed in this study. It can be seen from this study that the proposed method for the scale-up factor can provide reliable and economical results regardless of the orientation of the principal axes of the structures.

During isometric elbow flexion, forearm length should be an important factor to determine not only joint torque but also maximum endurance time (MET), when the forearm is perpendicular to the direction of the force. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of forearm length as an additional factor on empirical models of MET such as an exponential model and a power model during isometric elbow flexion. Thirty volunteers participated in our experiment to measure factor variables such as circumferences and lengths of their upper and lower arms. Their METs were measured according to the percent of maximum voluntary contraction intensity (%MVC). For the multiple linear regression model of ln(MET) using these measurements, significant variables could be observed in %MVC and forearm lengths (P<0.05). The empirical models were assessed by these models using forearm length as the additional factor. Mean absolute deviations (MAD) between the measured METs amd the two empirical models were about 19.4 [s], but MAD using models applied forearm lengths were reduced to about 16.2 [s]. The correlation coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficients were about 0.87, but those applied forearm lengths were increased to about 0.91. These results demonstrated that forearm length was a significant additional factor to the empirical model.
