This study explores the slot-drilling method that has not yet enough been studied in Korea and intends to provide a theoretical framework for putting the method into practice in a construction site. The possible reduction of ground vibration by implementing slot-drilling methods is addressed. Two main subjects dealt with include the variation of vibration velocity that is based on the distance between the slot-drilling and the epicenter of blasting and the analysis of appropriate effective dimension of slot-drilling width and height to control blasting vibration. This study shows that effect of vibration reduction decreases when distance of the slot-drilling and the epicenter of blasting is getting larger and also reveals that there is a correlation between the slot size and the vibration velocity at any point.

In this study, the vibration analysis of the underground box structures induced train movement is studied. In order to perform these analysis, dynamic data, which was measured when subway is in service, are gained by attaching accelerometers on the structure such as lower beam, lateral wall and upper slab. Also, accelerometers are attached on the lower beams and side walls of the gravel ballast and concrete ballast sections in order to compare vibration due to ballast materials. The vibration results of upper slabs and lower beams reveal that the vibration on the upper slabs is greater than the lower beams. Also, the results of the crack gauge on the upper slab show that crack width dose not change due to vibration, These means that the effect of the vibration on the structure is very limited. In order to evaluate the vibration of the structure, acceleration unit is converted to velocity unit comparing with the existing velocity data gained from the platforms.

최근 고속 회전기계에 사용되고 있는 공기호일 베어링은 동압형 기체 베어링으로 매우 안정적이고, 보통의 저널 베어링에서 발생할 수 있는 불안정한 진동을 최소화 할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 높은 안정성 및 축 자체에 자동 조절 기능을 가지고 있어서 극저온 기계 및 고속 회전기계에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 고속 회전기계는 축의 기동 및 정지 시, 위험속도를 안전하게 통과하기 위해 위험속도에서의 진동을 억제하여야 하고, 운전 가능한 회전수를 증가시키기 위해서 로터 시스템의 동적 해석이 필요하다.(중략)

The objective of this study is to estimate shear wave velocity of earth dam materials using artificially generated vibration from blasting events and to verify its applicability. In this study, the artificial blasting and vibration monitoring were carried out at the site adjacent to Seongdeok dam, which is the first blasting test for an existing dam in Korea. The vibrations were induced by 4 different types of blasting with various depths of blasting boreholes and explosive charge weights. During the tests, the acceleration time histories were recorded at the bedrock adjacent to the explosion and the crest of the dam. From frequency analyses of acceleration histories measured at the crest, the fundamental frequency of the target dam could be evaluated. Numerical analyses varying shear moduli of earth fill zone were carried out using the acceleration histories measured at the bedrock as input ground motions. From the comparison between the fundamental frequencies calculated by numerical analyses and measured records, the shear wave velocities with depth, which are closely related to shear moduli, could be determined. It is found that the effect of different blasting types on shear wave velocity estimation for the target dam materials is negligible and the shear wave velocity can be consistently evaluated. Furthermore, comparing the shear wave velocity with the previous researchers' empirical relationships, the applicability of suggested method is verified. Therefore, in case that the earthquake record is not available, the shear wave velocity of earth dam materials can be reasonably evaluated if blasting vibration test is allowed at the site adjacent to the dam.

Acoustic streaming induced by the microscopic longitudinal ultrasonic vibration at 28.5 ㎑ is visualized between the quiescent glass plate and ultrasonic vibrator by particle imaging velocimetry(PIV) using laser. To investigate the augmentation of air flow velocity of acoustic streaming. the velocity variations of air streaming between the stationary plate and ultrasonic vibrator are measured in real-time. It is experimentally investigated that the magnitude of the acoustic streaming dependent upon the gap between the ultrasonic vibrator and stationary p1ate results in the variations of the average velocity fields as a outcome of the bulk air flow caused by the ultrasonic vibration. In addition. maximum acoustic streaming velocity exists at resonant gap. 18mm that is one of the resonant gaps (H=18, 24, 30, 36㎜) at which resonance occurs. The variation of the local maximum turbulent intensity with axial direction appear to reveal the value of 8%∼70% dependent upon the gap between the quiescent glass plate and ultrasonic vibrator. Shearstress is also maximized at the center region of the vibrator and the vorticity is also maximum and minimum in the neighborhood of the center of the vibrator at which the local maximum turbulent intensity and shear stress exist.

Urban conditions, such as existing underground facilities and ambient noise due to cultural activity, restrict the general application of conventional geophysical techniques. At a tunnelling site in an urban area along an existing railroad, we used the refraction microtremor (REMI) technique (Louie, 2001) as an alternative way to get geotechnical information. The REMI method uses ambient noise recorded by standard refraction equipment and a linear geophone array to derive a shear-wave velocity profile. In the inversion procedure, the Rayleigh wave dispersion curve is picked from a wavefield transformation, and iteratively modelled to get the S-wave velocity structure. The REMI survey was carried out along the line of the planned railway tunnel. At this site vibrations from trains and cars provided strong seismic sources that allowed REMI to be very effective. The objective of the survey was to evaluate the rock mass rating (RMR), using shear-wave velocity information from REMI. First, the relation between uniaxial compressive strength, which is a component of the RMR, and shear-wave velocity from laboratory tests was studied to learn whether shear-wave velocity and RMR are closely related. Then Suspension PS (SPS) logging was performed in selected boreholes along the profile, in order to draw out the quantitative relation between the shear-wave velocity from SPS logging and the RMR determined from inspection of core from the same boreholes. In these tests, shear-wave velocity showed fairly good correlation with RMR. A good relation between shear-wave velocity from REMI and RMR could be obtained, so it is possible to estimate the RMR of the entire profile for use in design of the underground tunnel.

정격속도 100,000RPM용 원심분리기(centrifuge) 로터베어링계에 대해 회전체동역학 해석이 수행된다. 시스템은 원심분리기 로터, 유연축, 모터 로터와 축, 그리고 모터축 지지용 두 개의 구름베어링으로 구성된다. 설계목표는 정격속도가 위험속도(critical speed)에 대해 충분한 분리여유를 갖고, 위험속도에서 로터의 양호한 불균형응답특성을 이루어 내는 것이다. 후자의 요구조건은, 시스템이 다수의 위험속도를 통과하며 정격속도 주위에서 충분한 분리 여유를 갖지 않을 수도 있기 때문에 특히 중요하다. 시스템에 초유연축(extra-flexible shaft)을 도입함으로써, 비록 1차 위험속도에서 만족스럽지 못한 큰 불균형응답을 가질지라도 고차 위험속도에서 만족스런 작은 불균형응답을 보인다. 1차 위험속도에서 로터의 큰 변위를 억제하기 위해서 범퍼링(bumper ring) 또는 안내베어링(guide bearing)을 유연축의 적절한 위치에 설치할 필요가 있다. 비록 유연축계라 할지라도 정격속도와 가까운 4차 이상의 고차 위험속도를 정확히 규명하기 위해서는 모터의 동역학을 전체시스템에 결합하여야 함을 볼 수 있다. 해석은 유한요소법(finite element method)에 의해 수행된다.

The only law related to airblast and ground vibration control in Korea is the Noise and Vibration Control Act enforced by the Ministry of Environment. But this law mainly deals with the annoyance aspects of noises and vibrations in ordinary human life. Hence, the law defines the safety criteria of ground vibration as the vibration level (VL) of dB(V) unit. The ground vibrations produced from blasting, however, have the unique characteristics that can be shown in shock vibrations, and the duration is also very short compared to the vibrations from machinery, tools or facilities. Hence, vibration regulations for blasting operations usually define the safety criterion as the peak particle velocity (PPV) considering the effect of ground vibrations to structural damage. Notwithstanding, there are several attempts that predict VL from PPV or estimate VL based on the scaled distances (SD; in unit of $m/kg^{1/2}$ or $m/kg^{1/3}$) without considering their frequency spectra. It appears that these attempts are conducted mainly for the purpose of satisfying the law in blasting contracts. But, in principle there could no correlation between peaks of velocity and acceleration over entire frequency spectrum. Therefore, such correlations or estimations should be conducted only for the waves with the same or very similar frequency spectra.

This paper considered the out-of-plane motion of the piping system conveying fluid through the elbow connecting two straight pipes. The extended Hamilton's principle is used to derive equations of motion. It is found that dynamic instability does not exist for the clamped-clamped, clamped-pinned and pinned-pinned boundary conditions. The frequency equations for each boundary conditions are solved numerically to find the natural frequencies. The effects of fluid velocity and Coriolis force on the natural frequencies of piping system are investigated. It is shown that buckling-type instability may occur at certain critical velocities and fluid pressures. Equivalent critical velocity, which is defined as a function of flow velocity and fluid pressure, are calculated for various boundary conditions.
