The objective of study is to examine relationship between traffic flow characteristics of two lane entrance terminal and acceleration length, and to suggest the acceleration length by level of service. The relationship between the speed ratio and the distance from the ramp appeared to be a quadratic concave from. In the case of two lane entrance ramp, the acceleration length is suggested as 1.4~2.0 times longer than the acceleration length of one lane entrance ramp. It is also recommended that acceleration length for two lane entrance ramp should be designed according to the level of service at the right most lane (level of service A : 1.4 B : 1.6 C : 1.8 D : 2.0 times of the one lane entrance ramp acceleration length) on freeway.

In this paper, the acceleration is studied for the rigid-plastic FEM of metal forming simulation. In the FEM, the direct iteration and Newton-Raphson iteration are applied to obtain the initial solution and accurate solution respectively. In general, the acceleration scheme for the direct iteration is not used. In this paper, an Aitken accelerator is applied to the direct iteration. In the modified Newton-Raphson iteration, the step length or the deceleration coefficient is used for the fast and robust convergence. The step length can be determined by using the accelerator. The numerical experiments have been performed for the comparisons. The faster convergence is obtained with the acceleration in the direct and Newton-Raphson iterations.

PURPOSES : Previous Speed Profile reflects the patterns of speeds in sections of tangents to curves in the roads. However these patterns are uniform of speeds and Acceleration/Deceleration. In oder to supplement these shortcomings. this study made a new profile which can contain factors of Acceleration/Deceleration through theories of Previous Speed Profiles. METHODS : For sakes, this study developed the speed prediction model of Rural Multi-Lane Highways and calculated Acceleration/Deceleration by appling a Polynomial model based on developed speed prediction model. Polynomial model is based on second by second. Acceleration/Deceleration Profile is developed with the various scenarios of road geometric conditions. RESULTS : The longer an ahead tangent length is, The higher an acceleration rate in curve occurs due to wide sight distance. However when there are big speed gaps between two curves, the longer tangent length alleviate acceleration rate. CONCLUSIONS : Acceleration/Deceleration Profile can overview th patterns of speeds and Accelerations/Decelerations in the various road geometric conditions. Also this result will help road designer have a proper guidance to exam a potential geometric conditions where may occur the acceleration/deceleration states.

The dynamic performance of railway bridges under high-speed trains draws the attention of bridge engineers. The vibration issue for long-span bridges under high-speed trains is still not well understood due to lack of validations through structural health monitoring (SHM) data. This paper investigates the correlation between bridge acceleration and train speed based on structural dynamics theory and SHM system from three foci. Firstly, the calculated formula of acceleration response under a series of moving load is deduced for the situation that train length is near the length of the bridge span, the correlation between train speed and acceleration amplitude is analyzed. Secondly, the correlation scatterplots of the speed-acceleration is presented and discussed based on the transverse and vertical acceleration response data of Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge SHM system. Thirdly, the warning indexes of the bridge performance for correlation scatterplots of speed-acceleration are established. The main conclusions are: (1) The resonance between trains and the bridge is unlikely to happen for long-span bridge, but a multimodal correlation curve between train speed and acceleration amplitude exists after the resonance speed; (2) Based on SHM data, multimodal correlation scatterplots of speed-acceleration exist and they have similar trends with the calculated formula; (3) An envelope line of polylines can be used as early warning indicators of the changes of bridge performance due to the changes of slope of envelope line and peak speed of amplitude. This work also gives several suggestions which lay a foundation for the better design, maintenance and long-term monitoring of a long-span high-speed bridge.

A coaxial pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) with a Teflon cavity was designed, and its performance characteristics were examined varying stored energy, cavity length and capacitance. The PPT was tested as the entire system including the discharge circuit, and the results were explained with both the transfer efficiency and the acceleration efficiency. The transfer efficiency is defined as the fraction of energy in capacitors supplied into plasma, and the acceleration efficiency as the fraction of energy supplied into plasma converted to thrust energy. To estimate these efficiencies, the equivalent plasma resistance was defined and calculated using energy conservation during discharge. The equivalent plasma resistance proportionally increased with cavity length, and therefore the current peak increased with decreasing cavity length. The energy density calculated by the transfer efficiency was increased with decreasing cavity length. As a result, higher acceleration efficiency and lower transfer efficiency were obtained with shorter cavity length. Accordingly, there was an optimal cavity length for the thrust efficiency. The specific impulse and the impulse bit per unit stored energy ranged from 390 s and 50 $\mu$ Ns/J for a cavity length of 34 mm to 825 s and 11 $\mu$ Ns/J for a cavity length of 4 mm when the stored energy was fixed to 21.4J. Thus, it was showed that the performance of this PPT approached that of electromagnetic-acceleration-type PPT with decreasing cavity length. The PPT achieved thrust efficiencies of 10-12% at 21.4 J and 6-7% at 5.35 J at cavity lengths between 14 mm and 29 mm.

In the conventional towing tank, the ordinary towing carriage has a speed barrier which caused not only by the limitation of the length of towing tank but also the limitation of acceleration. Therefore the length of the towing tank should be decided carefully from the planning stage of the towing tank construction. Consequently the acceleration of the towing carriage should be taken less than 0.06g practically to avoid the slip of the wheel on rail. Due to the increasing demand of the high speed experiments on the development of special novel ship, the requirement of the high speed towing carriage is continuously increased recently. When the minimum measuring time of the towing experiment is prescribed as five seconds, the carriage should be accelerated with higher than 0.12 g to get the speed of 18 m/sec even in the towing tank having a length of 400m in length approximately. This means that the requirement of acceleration is bigger than twice of the ordinary practices of carriage acceleration. In such a condition the exerted total power of motor could not converted to traction force for the acceleration of the carriage without slip. To over come these difficulties a pair of horizontal traction wheels are reinforced to each of the ordinary vertical carrier wheel and appropriate suspension system has been devised for the towing tank of super high speed operation. It is believed that the design of novel suspension system adaptable for the high speed acceleration of towing carriage will play a important role as a reference for the remodeling of the towing tank for high speed experiment.

본 연구에서는 고속도로 졸음쉼터의 진 출입 차량 주행속도 조사를 통해 졸음쉼터 가 감속차로 길이, 설치위치의 종단경사 및 곡선반경이 주행차량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 졸음쉼터 적정 가 감속차로 길이 산정을 위해, VISSM을 활용하여 진출입부 길이 별 시나리오를 구축하고, 가 감속차로를 이용하는 차량의 개별차량 주행궤적 자료를 추출하여 차량의 감속 및 가속도의 표준 편차를 산출하였다. 주행속도 조사 결과 졸음쉼터 설치위치의 곡선반경 및 종단경사에 따른 속도차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 무엇보다 가 감속차로 길이에 따른 차량 간의 속도차이가 크게 나타났다. 특히 가 감속차로 길이가 짧게 설치된 졸음쉼터의 경우 차량 간의 속도차이가 큰 것으로 조사되었으며 차량이 졸음쉼터 진입 시 충분히 감속을 하지 못하고 진입하거나 졸음쉼터 이용 후 본선 진입 시 충분히 가속을 하지 못한 채로 본선에 진입하는 것으로 조사되어 위험성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 가 감속차로 길이에 따른 시뮬레이션 분석결과 진입부의 경우 245m 이상의 감속차로 길이 확보가 필요할 것으로 분석되었으며, 가속차로의 경우 370m 이상으로 설치하였을 때 안전한 진출이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

Objectives: No studies have yet assessed vibration characteristics according to endodontic file length. Accordingly, the objective of the present study was to examine the vibration characteristics according to nickel-titanium file length and to compare these characteristics between different file systems. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 root canal models were divided into 3 experimental groups (n = 15 each) based on the file system used (ProTaper Gold [PTG], ProTaper Next, or WaveOne Gold [WOG]). Each experimental group was further divided into 3 subgroups according to file length (21, 25, or 31 mm). An electric motor (X-SMART PLUS) was used in the experiment. For each file system, vibrations generated when using a size 25 file were measured and used to calculate the average vibration acceleration. The differences in vibrations were analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance and the Scheffé post hoc test with a confidence interval of 95%. Results: In the PTG file system, significantly lower vibration acceleration was observed when using a 21-mm file than when using a 31-mm file. In the WOG file system, significantly stronger vibration acceleration was observed when using a 31-mm file than when using 21- or 25-mm files. Regardless of the file length, the WOG group exhibited significantly stronger vibration acceleration than the other 2 experimental groups. Conclusions: In clinical practice, choosing a file with the shortest length possible could help reduce vibrations. Additionally, consideration should be given to vibrations that could be generated when using WOG files with reciprocating motion.

A numerical analysis of axisymetric backward facing step main nozzle flow in air jet loom has been accomplished. To obtain basic design data for an optimum main nozzle for an air-jet loom and to predict the transonic/supersonic flow, a characteristic based upwind flux difference splitting compressible Navier-Stokes method has been used. The wall static pressure of the main nozzle and the flow velocity changes in the nozzle tube were analyzed by changing air tank pressures and acceleration tube lengths. The flow inside the nozzle experiences double choking one at the needle tip and the other at the acceleration tube exit at tank pressures over $4kg_f/cm^2$. The tank pressure $P_t$ leading to the critical condition depends on the acceleration tube length; i.e, $P_t$ is higher for longer acceleration tubes. The $P_t$ value required to bring the acceleration tube exit to the critical condition is nearly constant regardless of acceleration tube length. The round needle tip shape might lead to less total pressure loss when compared with step shape.

고속도로 합류부의 반복정체는 모든 이의 일상이지만 정체가 발생한 이후에 마땅히 시도할 대책이 없는 것이 작금의 현실이다. 본 연구는 접속부에 혼잡이 발생한 후 상황에 따라 가속차로 길이를 동적으로 제어하여 본선에 대한 상대적인 우월성을 억제함으로써 혼잡구간의 정체를 저감시키는 기법을 제안하고 있다. 가속차로의 동적 제어가 미치는 교통영향 분석을 위해서 car-following 이론에 토대를 둔 미시 모형인 CORSIM을 사용하였으며, 본선의 수요는 LOS D/E로 유지하는 가운데 연결로 수요를 변화시킴으로서 접속부의 혼잡을 점진적으로 연출하고 본선과 가속차로의 운영속도가 역전되는 시점에 가속차로의 유효길이를 축소하는 기능을 구현하였다. 동적 제어의 대상이 되는 가속차로 길이는 세 가지로 제한하였으며 평가척도는 통행시간과 통과교통량으로 하였다. 또 경부고속도로에 신갈 JC서의 유사 운영 결과와 비교를 통해 모의실험 결과를 뒷받침하였다.
