As a preview study, present research analysed the performance characteristics of a velocity compound supersonic impulse turbine with the rotor overlaps before adapting the overlap has the best turbine performance. This research was conducted for the turbine with square cross-section nozzles instead of axisymmetric nozzles and wrap around nozzles. Through 3-dimensional flow analysis for the turbine by a commercial flow analysis package, tip overlap case was more effective to improve the turbine performance than case hub overlap, and overlap case applied the hub and tip of the rotor had the largest improvement for the turbine performance in the cases. In case of overlap for the 2nd stage rotor, improvement of the turbine performance was not visibly large. Because, generated power in the 2nd stage is 22~23% of whole generated turbine power.

In this study, aerodynamic characteristics of the blades of a helical-type vertical axis wind turbine(VAWT) have been investigated. For this purpose, a 100-W helical-type vertical axis wind turbine was designed using a design formulae, and a 3D computational fluid dynamics analysis was performed considering wind tunnel test conditions. Through the results of the analysis, the aerodynamic power output and flow characteristics of a helical blade were confirmed. In order to validate the aerodynamic power output obtained through the analysis, a wind tunnel test was performed by using a full-scale helical-type vertical axis wind turbine. The 3D analysis technique was validated by comparing its results with those obtained from the wind tunnel test.

The box system that is composed only of reinforced concrete walls and slabs we adopted on many high-rise apartment buildings recently constructed in Korea. And the framed structure with shear wall core that can effectively resist horizontal forces is frequently adopted for the structural system for high-rise building structures. In these structures, a shear wall may have one or more openings for functional reasons. It is necessary to use subdivided finite elements for accurate analysis of the shear wall with openings. But it would take significant amount of computational time and memory if the entire building structure is subdivided into a finer mesh. An efficient analysis method that can be used regardless of the number, size and location of openings is proposed in this study. The analysis method uses super element, substructure, matrix condensation technique and fictitious beam technique. Three-dimensional analyses of the box system and the framed structure with shear wall core having various types of openings were performed to verify the efficiency of the proposed method. It was confirmed that the proposed method have outstanding accuracy with drastically reduced time and computer memory from the analyses of example structures.

In this study, several Soil-Structure-Interaction (SSI) analyses were performed using the developed FE-BE coupling method and the seismic response behavior of the structure's systems was determined. For the verification of the fundamental solution which is used in this analysis method, a dynamic analysis of the homogeneous ground was performed and it was compared to the results of Estorff et al. In order to verify the seismic response analysis, the results are compared with those of another commercial code. Several kindd of SSI analyses were performed and the seismic response associated with the rile foundation, seismic waves and a consideration of the ground nonlinearity were determined. As a result, it was found that the pile foundations didn't greatly helpful during the seismic event.

This paper describes an application of domain decomposition method for parallel finite element analysis which is required to large scale 3D structural analysis. A parallel finite element method system which adopts a domain decomposition method is developed. Node is generated if its distance from existing node points is similar to the node spacing function at the point. The node spacing function is well controlled by the fuzzy knowledge processing. The Delaunay triangulation method is introduced as a basic tool for element generation. Domain decomposition method using automatic mesh generation system holds great benefits for 3D analyses. Aa parallel numerical algorithm for the finite element analyses, domain decomposition method was combined with an iterative solver, i.e. the conjugate gradient(CG) method where a whole analysis domain is fictitiously divided into a number of subdomains without overlapping. Practical performance of the present system are demonstrated through several examples.

Three-dimensional numerical study was carried out to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics of the supersonic grid fins installed on SpaceX Falcon 9. The present three-dimensional flow results were compared to the results by the concept of the unit grid fin previously introduced for more efficient and simpler flow calculations, and the validity of the approach of the unit grid fin were evaluated. The aerodynamic characteristics in supersonic flights Mach 2.8 of SpaceX Falcon 9 with various angle of attacks were also obtained.

The analytical modeling has been established on the self-propagation of intermetallic reaction in the spanwise direction of highly reactive boron and titanium nanoscale multilayers. Assuming that the reaction obeys Arrhenius kinetics, two-dimensional computations are carried out for heat and atomic species diffusion with exothermic reaction model in order to simulate the self-propagation of intermetallic reaction. The effects of bimetallic layer thickness and thickness ratio on the reaction propagation speed are tested and discussed in addition to the assessment of pre-mixing zone effects.

In this paper, the structural performance of Suwon Hwaryeongjeon Unhangak, a representative traditional timber structure in the late Joseon Dynasty, was evaluated. Based on the structure composition of Unhangak, an analysis model was elaborately constructed with Midas Gen, a 3-dimensional structural analysis software. The safety and serviceability of major structural members were evaluated by static analysis, and the dynamic behavior characteristics were evaluated by eigenvalue analysis. Most of the members satisfied the safety and serviceability standards with a margin; however, the bending stress ratio in the oemogdori exceeds the standard by 20.7%, so it is considered that long-term monitoring is needed for this member. The natural period of Unhangak is 1.079 seconds, which is slightly longer than traditional timber buildings of similar scale. In particular, it is analyzed that torsional movement occurred in the secondary mode due to the influence of the rear masonry firewall.
