The parameter, B/A, quantifies nonlinearity of the pressure-density relationship of propagation medium. This study investigated quantitative evaluation technique for healing fractured bones using this ultrasonic nonlinear parameter, B/A, obtained by the second harmonic amplitude method. A series of fundamental experiments were performed on cylinder phantoms made of aluminium, which demonstrated potential capability of nonlinear parameter B/A in the diagnosis of healing fractured bones using ultrasound.

본 연구의 목적은 탄성 표면파에서의 비선형 거동의 이론적 배경을 소개하고 실험적으로 검증하는 것으로서, 이론상의 표면파의 비선형 파라미터는 벌크파에서와 같이 전파된 표면파의 2차 고조파 성분과 기본파 성분 크기의 비에 의존한다. 이를 검증하기 위해 접촉식 탐촉자를 이용한 측정 시스템을 구축하였고, 표면파 전파거리와 인가전압 크기를 변화시키며 알루미늄 6061 합금의 비선형 파라미터를 측정하였다. 또한, 비선형 파라미터를 측정함에 있어서 주파수 의존적 감쇠의 영향을 고려하였다. 이러한 과정을 통한 결과는 탄성 표면파의 비선형 파라미터가 인가전압의 크기에 독립적이며, 2차 고조파 성분의 크기는 전파거리에 선형적으로 의존할 것이라는 이론적 예측과 일치한다.

Aerodynamic forces of vortex-induced vibration and galloping are going to be coupled when their onset velocities are close to each other, which will induce the cross-wind amplitudes of the structures increased continuously with ever-increasing wind velocities. The main purpose of the present work is going to propose an empirical formula to predict the response amplitude of VIV-galloping interaction. Firstly, two typical mathematical models for the coupled oscillations, i.e., Tamura & Shimada model and Parkinson & Corless model are comparatively summarized. Then, the key parameter affecting response amplitude is determined through comparative numerical simulations with Tamura & Shimada model. For rectangular cylinders with the side ratio from 0.5 to 2.5, which are actually prone to develop the VIV and galloping induced interaction responses, an empirical amplitude prediction formula is proposed after regression analysis on comprehensively collected experimental data with the predetermined key parameter.

본 연구에서는 측정된 균열 데이터를 토대로 변동하중 하에서의 균열성장모델 변수들을 베이지안 모델변수 추정 방법을 통해서 확률적인 분포로 구하는 방법을 제시하였다. 모델변수의 확률분포를 구하기 위해 Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) 샘플링 방법을 이용하였다. 변동하중 하에서는 균열성장 모델이 더욱 복잡해 짐에 따라 기존의 MCMC 기법으로는 확률분포를 잘 구하지 못하므로 주변확률밀도분포를 제안함수로 사용하는 MCMC 기법을 새롭게 제안하였다. 모델변수의 추정을 위해 여러 크기의 일정 진폭 하중 하에서 시편시험을 수행하여 얻은 균열성장 데이터를 이용하였다. 추정된 변수들을 사용하여 변동하중 하에서의 시편에 대해 균열성장 예측을 수행하였고, 이를 실제 시험 데이터를 통해서 검증하였다.

Unlike existing pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques, such as sinusoidal PWM and random PWM, the wavelet PWM (WPWM) technique based on a Harr wavelet function can achieve a high fundamental component for the output voltage, low total harmonic distortion, and simple digital implementation. However, the original WPWM method lacks output voltage control. Thus, the practical application of the WPWM technique is limited. This study proposes an improved WPWM technique that can regulate output voltage amplitude with the addition of a parameter. The relationship between the additional parameter and the output voltage amplitude is analyzed in detail. Experimental results verify that the improved WPWM exhibits output voltage control in addition to all the merits of the WPWM technique.

Liquid sloshing displays the highly nonlinear free surface fluctuation when either the external excitation is of large amplitude or its frequency approaches natural sloshing frequencies. Naturally, the accurate tracking of time-varying free surface configuration becomes a key task for the reliable prediction of the sloshing time-history response. However, the numerical instability and dissipation may occur in the nonlinear sloshing analysis, particularly in the long-time beating simulation, when two simulation parameters, the relative time-increment parameter a and the fluid mesh pattern, are not elaborately chosen. This paper intends to examine the effects of these two parameters on the potential-based nonlinear finite element method introduced for the large amplitude sloshing flow.

In this paper, a statistical analysis of fatigue crack growth behavior under constant amplitude loads has been carried out. Fatigue crack growth tests were conducted on sixteen pre-cracked compact tension (CT) specimens of the pressure vessel (SPV50) steel in controlled identical load and environmental conditions. The assessment of the statistical distribution of fatigue crack growth experimental data obtained from SPV50 steel was studied and also the correlation of the parameter C and m in the Paris-Erdogan law was discussed. The probability distribution function of fatigue crack growth life seems to follow the 3-parameter Weibull. The fatigue crack growth rate seems to follow the 3-parameter Weibull and the log-normal distribution. The coefficient of variation (COV) of fatigue crack growth life was observed to decrease as the crack grows. A strong negative linear correlation exists between the coefficient C and the exponent m in Paris model. Fatigue crack growth rate data shows a normal distribution for both m and logC.

유발뇌파의 감성지수파라미터를 뇌파의 지속시간과 크기로 설정하고 감성지표화하려는 뇌파에 Prony모델을 적용하여 감성의 지속시간과 크기를 추정하였다. Prony모델을 적용하여 유발뇌파를 실험분석한 결과 대역별특성을 분석할 수 있었고, 감성평가지수 파라미터인 감성지속시간과 크기를 추정함으로써 안타까움, 분노 및 공포의 감성을 감성평가지수로 분류할 수 있었으며, 추정된 파라미터가 감성평가지수로서 적합함을 확인하였다.

Fatigue failure of a grid structure using bolt-sphere joints is liable to occur in a high-strength bolt due to the alternating and reciprocal actions of a suspension crane. In this study, variable amplitude fatigue tests were carried out on 20 40 Cr steel alloy M30 high-strength bolts using an MTS fatigue testing machine, and four cyclic stress amplitude loading patterns, Low-High, High-Low, Low-High-Low, and High-Low-High, were tested. The scanning electron microscope images of bolt fatigue failure due to variable amplitude stress were obtained, and the fractographic analysis of fatigue fractures was performed to investigate the fatigue failure mechanisms. Based on the available data from the constant amplitude fatigue tests, the variable amplitude fatigue life of an M30 high-strength bolt in a bolt-sphere joint was estimated using both Miner's rule and the Corten-Dolan model. Since both cumulative damage models gave similar predictions, Miner's rule is suggested for estimating the variable-amplitude fatigue life of M30 high-strength bolts in a grid structure with bolt-sphere joints; the S-N fatigue curve of the M30 high-strength bolts under variable amplitude loading was derived using equivalent stress amplitude as a design parameter.
