The enhancement of the service life of damaged or cracked structures is a major issue for researchers and engineers. The hierarchic void element based on the integrals of Legendre polynomials is used to characterize the fracture behaviour of unpatched crack as well as repaired crack with bonded composite patches by computing the stress intensity factors and stress contours at the crack tip. Since the equivalent single layer approach is adopted in this study, the proposed element is necessary to represent a discontinuous crack part as a continuum body with zero stiffness. Thus the aspect ratio of this element to represent the crack should be extremely slender. The sensitivity of numerical solution with respect to energy release rate, displacement and stress has been tested to show the robustness of zero stiffness element as the aspect ratio is increased up to 2000. The stiffness derivative method and displacement extrapolation method have been applied to calculate the stress intensity factors of Mode I problem. It is noted that the proposed hierarchical void element can be one of alternatives to analyze the patched crack problems.

Laminar natural convection heat transfer past an outer rectangular corner was experimentally investigated by using Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The present geometry represents the case when the plume from a vertical flat plate and that from a horizontal one merge into a single plume. the temperature distribution and the local heat flux were measured in the range of Grashof number 8 * 10$^{4}$$r_{LH}$ <1.25 * 10$^{6}$ . The effect of the geometric aspect ratio was also considered. Correlation for the average Nusselt number vs. Grashof number was obtained by using a newly determined characteristic length. To determine the interaction of the plumes, the present results were compared with the similarity solutions available from the isolated vertical and isolated horizontal flat plates.

In this study, it was experimentally investigated the effect of the clearances distance between the rod and the impinging plate on characteristics of the thermal flow. For the heat transfer enhancement of wall jet region, the right triangle and the square rods were arranged in front of the impinging plate with various clearance distances. As results, the heat transfer enhancement rate of potential core region at H/B=2 was higher than that of transition region at H/B=10. In this experiment range, the maximum heat transfer enhancement rate was about 46 % higher at the square rod with H/B=2 and C=1mm compared with the flat plate. The heat transfer enhancement rate of the right triangle rod was on average about 3 to 8 % higher than that of the square rod, regardless of the clearance.

In this work, based on the blade element-momentum theory (BEMT), we proposed the geometry of a lab-scale horizontal axis tidal turbine with a diameter of 80cm, which can demonstrate the maximum power coefficient, and investigated the effect of blade pitch angle increase on the power coefficient. For validation of the computed power coefficients by the BEMT, we also computed the power coefficient using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for each case. For the CFD, 15 times of the turbine radius was used for the length and diameter of the computational domain, and the open boundary condition was prescribed at the boundary of the computational domain. The maximum power coefficients of the turbine acquired by the BEMT and CFD were about 48%, showing a good agreement. Both of the power coefficients computed by the BEMT and CFD tended to decrease when the blade pitch angle increases. The two power coefficients for a given tip-speed ratio were in good agreement. Through the present study, we have confirmed that we can trust the proposed geometry and the computed power coefficients based on the BEMT.

Water line은 UV 처리된 호스의 내부에 압력보상 기능이 첨부된 경질의 미로 튜브를 끼워 사용하도록 제작되어 있다. 점적 호스의 외경은 15.8mm이며 대부분 0.5~2.5bar 사이의 압력에 1.5~3.0 L/hr의 유량을 공급한다. 따라서 전적 호스의 내부에 위치한 경질 미로 튜브의 설계는 유량의 압력보상에 밀접한 관계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 경질 미로 튜브를 통과하는 작은 돌기의 수가 압력과 유량에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대한 기초적인 실험을 수행하였으며 경질 미로의 압력과 유량 특성에 따른 이론적 해석과의 비교분석을 통하여 새로운 미로의 형상 설계에 활용할 기초적 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. 점적 호스의 성능은 길이(보통 300~400m)에 대한 유량의 균등성을 유지하는 것이며 균등성은 압력보상에 의해 이루어진다. 원통형 미로는 점적 호스의 내부에 삽입되어 원통 부분에 형성된 미로의 길이에 따른 유량의 균등성을 유지하도록 설계되어 있다. 점적 호스의 원통 주변에는 8개의 미로로 구성되어 있으며 미로의 길이를 금속 평면으로 금형 제작하여 투명판에서 미로의 형상을 보이게 하였다. 또한 입구부분에 물을 공급하고 미로의 각 위치별 배출구를 설치하여 압력에 따른 유출량을 전자저울에 측정하여 압력별 유량의 균등성에 대한 데이터를 측정하였다. 유입구의 압력을 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.0bar로 각각 공급하였으며 유출량은 미로의 8개 구간에 따라 측정하였다. 경질 미로의 유출량은 미로의 길이가 짧을수록, 압력이 커질수록 유출량이 높게 나타났다. 또한 미로의 길이가 짧을 경우에는 유출량의 차이가 비교적 크게 나타났으나 미로의 길이가 길수록 압력에 대한 유출량에 대한 차이가 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 경질 미로에서 미로의 길이를 길게 할 경우에는 유출량을 비교적 균일하게 할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 반면에 미로의 길이가 길어질수록 압력변화에 따른 유출량이 지수적으로 감소함을 나타내고 있다. 미로의 길이가 7번과 8번에서는 상당히 균일한 성능을 보여주므로 경질 미로의 배출구를 전체적으로 모두 활용함으로써 압력보상을 비교적 균일하게 할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 압력보상은 탄성을 가진 실리콘과 미로로 구성될 경우에 가장 큰 효과를 나타내지만 점적 호스와 같이 경질 미로만으로 압력보상을 해야 할 경우에는 경질 미로의 길이가 매우 중요하다.

This study is just to be carried out to grasp the efficiency of jet stream excavating for the ground. Changing the dynamic pressure, nozzle diameter, distance off the ground, we measured the impulse, the excavated depth, the excavated width. According as each dynamic pressure increases from 100 to $500gf/cm^2$, the impulse of the jet stream increases from 43 to 114gf, from 52 to 227gf, from 114 to 506gf, from 137 to 768gf, in 4, 6, 8, 10mm nozzles respectively, but it makes no difference in the value of distance within 50cm off ground. The excavated depth increases at the invariable rate in accordance with nozzle diameter, dynamic pressure, nozzle distance. We obtain the equations relevant to the ground I, II as follows: $$L_I=[0.01(H/r-100) -0.43\cdot\iota+11.78]{\cdot}D/4$$ $$L_{II}=[0.03(H/r-100) -0.34\cdot\iota+6.39]{\cdot}D/4$$ where, $L_I,\;L_{II}$ are respectively the excavated depths of the ground I, II, cm; H is the dynamic pressure, $gf/cm^2\;:\;\iota$ is the distance off the ground, cm; D is Nozzle diameter, mm; r is the specific weight, $1gf/cm^2$.

Locally damaged structures caused by earthquake or extraordinary external forces have been required to rapidly be dismantled because of its possibility of additional collapses. Particularly, steel frame structures were demolished by the shaped charge blasting method. Recently a research suggested a shape charge blasting technique which uses bent-shaped charge holder of copper plate and emulsion explosive charge to cut thick steel plates. This study simulated the cutting performance of the bent-shaped charge holder with considering types of explosives, thickness of copper liner and stand-off distances using LS-DYNA software. The shape charge blasting test of a 25mm thickness steel plate were used to calibrate the input parameters of the numerical models. The penetration depth and penetration width were analysed with different types of explosives, thickness of copper liner and stand-off distances.

The purpose of current study is to develop the rotor analysis solver and perform a rotor aerodynamic analysis in the wind fence. To this end, the rotor analysis solver based on actuator disk model was employed. To consider the asymmetric effect of the rotor in the wind fence, the flapping motion analysis was conducted with blade element theory for the effective angle of attack calculation. The validation cases which are the rotor with wall and ground were accomplished by developed solver. The decrease of rotor performance by wind fence was confirmed. The wind fence configuration was suggested which guarantees more than 95% rotor performance compared with the no fence case.

RC beam of existing structures often encounter shear problems for various reasons. The shear failure of RC beam is sudden and brittle. Strengthening technique jacketing with external bonding of steel plates(or CFRP and CFS) with epoxy is many use to in practice. This study presents test results on strengthening shear deficient RC beams by external bonding of slit type steel plates. Test parameters are width, interval, length, thickness and angle of slit in steel plates. The purpose was to evaluate the reinforcing effects, failure modes and shear capacities for RC beams of strengthened with various slit type steel plates. The test result confirmed that all slit steel plates improved the stiffness and strength of the specimens significantly. Failure modes of SV series and SD series showed shear fractures and flexure fractures at ultimate state respectively. SD series were ductile rather than SV series.
