전동기 코어 소재로 사용하는 무방향성 규소강판을 토로이달 형태가 아닌 전동기 적용 모형과 동일한 적층형으로 회전자 코어를 제작하여 초기 및 포화 자화 특성에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 초기자화 특성은 전동기가 처음 기동할 때 토크나 기동전류에 큰 영향을 미친다. 초기 자화 특성을 향상시키면 기동 전류를 줄일 뿐 아니라 전동기의 장기간 수명에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 무방향성 규소강판의 가공, 설계, 제작 특성이 초기 기동 특성에 미치는 영향을 간접적으로 조사하기 위하여 초기로 포화 히스테리시스 특성에 대한 고찰을 실시하고 이들 요소가 갖는 여러 가지 가능성을 제시하였다.

This paper describes the magnetic flux leakage(MFL) type non-destructive testing(NDT) system to detect the 3D defects in underground gas pipe. Magnetic systems with permanent magnets and yokes are analyzed by 3D non-lineal finite element method(FEM) with optimum design. In case of under-saturation of gas pipe, sensing signals are too weak to detect. In case of over-saturation, the changes of the sensing signals are too low to detect the defects sensitively. So, the operating points of the magnetic system are optimized to increase the changes of the MFL signals. The effects of the depth and size of the defects on the sensing signals are analyzed to define the range and resolution of the MFL sensors. To increase the sensor's sensitivity, the back-yoke sensors are introduced and tested.

Single-phase SRM is cost competitive because it can reduce the number of switches for small, low-cost applications. However, since the single-phase SRM is difficult to start itself, methods for realizing self-starting by using auxiliary magnet or auxiliary pole have been studied. Recently, a method of self-starting by changing the shape of the rotor with a saturable area has been proposed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the magnetic structure of single phase 6/6 SRM with a saturable rotor and to improve the magnetic structure of rotor with a saturable area. For this magnetic analysis, FLUX2D, a finite element method analysis program, was used.

Many studies for slope stability studies have indicated that the infiltration of rainwater into a slope decrease the slope stability. In order to minimize damage caused by slope failure, most design codes suggest that the slope stability be analyzed by saturated condition during rainy season. However it would be excessively conservative condition that every soil slope is saturated in rainy season irrespective of rainfall intensity, soil type and slope geometry. In addition, because most soil slopes are in an unsaturated state, it is necessary to consider the unsaturated characteristics of slope. This paper suggests a prediction method of saturation time for the weathered granite soil slopes due to rainfalls. The finite element analysis of transient water flow through unsaturated slope was used to investigate effects of soil-water characteristics, permeability at saturation, slope geometry, and rainfall intensity. From the result of these analyses, the prediction charts considering soil-water characteristics, permeability at saturation, and slope height were proposed in this study. It is possible to the time required to be saturated slope after rainfall.

The penetration testing provides 1 dimensional profiles of properties applicable to limited investigation areas, although N-value has been linked to a wide range of geotechnical design parameters based on empirical correlations. The nondestructive test using elastic waves is able to produce 2 or 3 dimensional property maps by inversion process with high efficiency in time and cost. As both N-value and elastic wave velocities share common dominant factors that include void ratio, degree of saturation, and in-situ effective stress, the correlation between the two properties has been empirically proposed by previous studies to assess engineering properties. This study presents the experimentally measured elastic wave velocities of Jumunjin sands under at-rest lateral displacement condition with varying the initial void ratio and degree of saturation. Results show that the stress condition predominantly influences the wave velocities whereas void ratio and saturation determine the stress-velocity tendency. The correlation among the dominant factors is proposed by multiple regression analysis with the discussion of relative impacts on parameters.

This study presents direct shear tests, model tests, and numerical simulations to assess the effect of reduction of soil strength because of saturation during formation of ground cave-in caused by damaged sewer pipe lines. The direct shear test results show that the saturation affects the cohesion of soil significantly although it does not influence the friction angle of soil. To experimentally reproduce ground cave-in, the model tests were performed. As ground cave-ins were accompanied with extreme deformation, conventional finite element method has difficulty in simulating them. The present study relies on generalized interpolation material point method, which is one of meshless methods. Although there are differences between the model test and numerical simulation caused by boundary conditions, incomplete saturation, and exclusion of groundwater flow, similar ground deformation characteristics are observed both in the model test and numerical simulation.

The compositions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in biodiesel feedstocks are important factors for biodiesel properties including low-temperature fluidity and oxidative stability. This study was conducted to improve low-temperature fluidity of biodiesel by reducing total saturated FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) in animal fat biodiesel fuels via urea-based fractionation and by mixing plant biodiesel fuels (rapeseed-FAME, waste cooking oil-FAME, soybean-FAME, and camellia-FAME) with enriched-polyunsaturated FAME derived from animal fat biodiesel. Our results showed that the reduction of total saturated FAME in animal fat biodiesel lowered CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) to $-15^{\circ}C$. Mixing plant biodiesel fuels with the enriched-polyunsaturated FAME derived from animal fat biodiesel lowered CFPP of blended biodiesel fuels to $-10{\sim}-18^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the parallel algorithm using MPI(Message-Passing Interface) library is introduced in order to improve numerical efficiency for the staggered method for nearly incompressible and impermeable porous media which was introduced by Park and Tak(2010). The porous media theory and the staggered method are also briefly introduced in this paper. Moreover, we account for MPI library for blocking, non-blocking, and collective communication, and propose combined the staggered method with the blocking and nonblocking MPI library. And then, we present how to allocate CPUs on the staggered method and the MPI library, which is related with the numerical efficiency in order to solve unknown variables on nearly incompressible and impermeable porous media. Finally, the results comparing serial solution with parallel solution are verified by 2 dimensional saturated porous model according to the number of FEM meshes.
