A mathematical competition model between normal flora and an invading pathogen was devised to allow analysis of bacterial infections in a host. The normal flora includes the various microorganisms that live on or within the host and act as a primary human immune system. Despite the important role of the normal flora, no mathematical study has been undertaken on models of the interaction between it and invading pathogens against a background of antibiotic treatment. To quantify key elements of bacterial behavior in a host, pairs of nonlinear differential equations were used to describe three categories of human health conditions, namely, healthy, latent infection, and active infection. In addition, a cutoff value was proposed to represent the minimum population level required for survival. The recovery of normal flora after antibiotic treatment was also included in the simulation because of its relation to human health recovery. The significance of each simulation parameter for the bacterial growth model was investigated. The devised simulation showed that bacterial proliferation rate, carrying capacity, initial population levels, and competition intensity have a significant effect on bacterial behavior. Consequently, a model was established to describe competition between normal flora and an infiltrating pathogen. Unlike other population models, the recovery process described by the devised model can describe the human health recovery mechanism.

A perforated shear connector group is commonly used to transfer shear in steel-concrete composite structures when the traditional shear stud connection is not strong enough. The multi-hole perforated shear connector demonstrates a more complicated behavior than the single connector. The internal force distribution in a specific multi-hole perforated shear connector group has not been thoroughly studied. This study focuses on the load-carrying capacity and shear force distribution of multi-hole perforated shear connectors in steel-concrete composite structures. ANSYS is used to develop a three-dimensional finite element model to simulate the behavior of multi-hole perforated connectors. Material and geometric nonlinearities are considered in the model to identify the failure modes, ultimate strength, and load-slip behavior of the connection. A three-layer model is introduced and a closed-form solution for the shear force distribution is developed to facilitate design calculations. The shear force distribution curve of the multi-hole shear connector is catenary, and the efficiency coefficient must be considered in different limit states.

The fourth industrial revolution calls for an integrated talent by improving working-level skills within the big framework of creativity and convergence. Therefore, university education focuses on solving the problem of practical ability education by improving employment ability. Based on this improvement in practical skills, this study is based on the field-based design curriculum of Capstone. Currently, the Capstone Design Course is being implemented at most universities, extending its scope to the fields of engineering, humanities, social studies and arts. However, there is a limit to the core concept of Capstone design education and capacity education developed in line with the foreign educational environment and applied directly to our nation's university education. In terms of overseas cases, the core focus is to develop practical, design, and prototype capabilities by forming a team among all grades and multidisciplinary institutions to support the capital and manpower of the industry. However, the nation's industrial linkage and curriculum have difficulties in carrying out multi-disciplinary education. In this study, students were asked to team up and solve the challenges that the industry needs based on the expertise acquired in the lower grade curriculum by applying majors and 3D printing through the first and second semester courses of the fourth grade to address these limitations. In addition, business skills for the process of creativity and leadership experience in our country through a suitable design capstone class to review the efficiency of education by applying a model. In order to achieve the purpose of Capstone design subject, the goal setting, class model composition, class model application, verification and evaluation, and final class model development procedures were carried out. Through this process, it will be used as a basic material for educating design class capstone design.

교량의 내하성능 추정 관련 연구에서 단순지지 조건의 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 개발하고 이를 적용한 새로운 단순교의 내하력 평가 모델이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 연속교에 적용하기 위해 연속지지 경간 중 내측 경간의 경계조건을 이상적인 양단 고정 경계조건으로 가정하고, 보의 동적 지배방정식을 이용하여 보 중앙에서의 이론적인 최대 통적 및 정적 연위 산출식과 이로부터 충격계수 이론식을 유도하였다. 이론식을 바탕으로 교량 경간 길이 및 감쇠비에 따른 양단지지 조건의 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 개발하였다. 제안된 충격계수 응답스펙트럼의 적용성을 검증하기 실제공용 중인 연속교를 대상으로 수치해석을 수행하고 실측 데이터와 비교하였다. 해석은 실측 데이터와 동일하게 6경간 연속교에 차량 하중을 이동 재하 하였으며, 연속지지 내부 경간에서 동적응답을 측정하였다. 교량의 진동수는 가속도 응답을 고속퓨리에 변환(FFT)하여 얻었으며, 제안된 응답스펙트럼으로부터 교량의 경간-진동수를 적용하여 충격계수를 도출하였다. 제안된 모델에 의한 충격계수는 실측 충격계수 유사한 결과를 나타냈으며, 양단고정지지 교량의 진동수 기반 충격계수 응답스펙트럼을 이용한 방법은 실재 연속교에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

오늘날 환경문제는 범지구적이며 인류의 생존 자체를 위협할 만큼 심각하다. 산업화가 환경문제 발생의 근원적 원인이다. 그러나 자연관 자연에 대한 지식 증가, 기술개발, 경제성장과 불평등, 인구 등 산업화의 과정 또는 결과로 인해 초래되는 개별 요소들도 환경문제 발생의 중요한 원인들로 지적되고 있다. 특히 인구를 환경문제 발생의 한 원인으로 보는 관점은 적정인구의 초과를 주장하고 있다. 그 이유는 인구가 지탱되는 데 필요한 의식주의 자원은 전적으로 자연에 의존하고 있고, 풍요롭고 편리한 의식주를 위한 재화와 용역의 생산, 유통, 소비 과정에서 배출되는 폐기물도 모두 자연으로 되돌아가는데 오늘날 인구수는 자연이 감당할 수 있는 자원공급과 폐기물 흡수 처리용량을 초과하고 있기 때문이다. 그러나 몇 명이 적정인구인가에 관한 연구는 국내외적으로 아직 없다. 이런 맥락에서 본 연구는 환경 측면에서 한국이 수용가능한 적정인구를 두 차원에서 추계하였다. 하나는 환경상태 및 이와 관련된 변인들에 기초한 추계이고, 다른 하나는 국민들이 바람직하다고 생각하는 환경상태와 이와 관련된 변인들에 기초한 추계이다. 전자는 객관적 상태에 기초한 추계이고, 후자는 사회적 합의에 의한 추계라고 할 수 있다. 객관적 상태에 의한 최소 적정인구는 약 4,749만 명으로 추계되었고, 사회적 합의에 의한 적정인구는 4,850만 명으로 추계되었다. 그러나 정부환경예산을 2.00%로 증액시키면 수용가능한 적정인구는 5,046만 명으로 증가한다. 이처럼 적정인구는 변인들의 값에 따라 증감한다. 적정인구 결정에 가장 강한 영향을 주는 변인이 정부의 환경예산이고, 다음으로 청정에너지공급 등이다. 그러나 본 연구는 1993년부터 2002년까지 10년간 시계일 자료에 기초한 적정인구 추계이기 때문에 다른 연도의 시계열 자료에 기초하면 적정인구 추계모형이 달라지고, 그 결과 적정인구수도 다르게 추계될 수 있다.

시대적 흐름에 따라 고층 건물은 정형적인 형태에서 벗어나 비정형적인 형태로 변화하고 있고 최근에는 외주골조에 기하학적 그리드 패턴으로 부재를 배치하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 헥사그리드구조의 부재선정을 위한 소요단면2차모멘트 산정식을 제안하였다. 헥사그리드 고층건물의 외주골조에 동일한 단면을 사용한 기존연구와는 다르게 수평 대각 부재와 모듈의 위치에 따라 부재사이즈를 변경하였다. 헥사그리드 유닛사이즈가 구조성능에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해 모듈의 높이를 1개층, 2개층, 4개층 높이로 한 60층 건물을 설계하여 해석하였다. 15개 건물에 대한 최대 횡변위, 철골량, 중력하중과 횡하중에 대한 외주골조의 횡력 분담비율, 부재의 조합 강도비를 비교하였다. 헥사그리드 구조의 횡력분담 능력이 다이아그리드 구조에 비해 작아서 헥사그리드 구조에서는 코어골조에 적절한 횡강성을 배분해야 한다. 휨변형 대 전단변형의 비는 4가 가장 적합하였고 부재간 접합에 따른 시공비용 및 구조적 효율성으로 판단할 때 헥사그리드 유닛이 큰 것이 유리하다고 판단된다. 건물의 최대 횡변위가 제한치의 84%~108%로 나와 헥사그리드 건물의 예비설계에 적용 가능한 것으로 보인다.

This paper numerically and experimentally investigates the control performance of the active mass damper (AMD) systems in a 26-story high-rise building in use. This is the first full-scale application of the AMD system for suppressing the wind-induced vibration of a building structure in Korea. In addition, the AMD system was installed on top of the building already in use, which may be the world's first implementation case. In order to simultaneously mitigate the transverse-torsional coupled vibration of the building, two AMD systems were applied. Moreover, the H-infinity control algorithm has been developed to utilize the maximum capacity of the AMD system. From the results of numerical simulation using the wind load obtained from the wind tunnel tests, it was found that the maximum acceleration responses of the building were reduced significantly. Moreover, the control performance of the installed AMD system was examined by carrying out the free and forced vibration tests. The acceleration responses on top of the building in the controlled case measured under strong wind loads were compared with those in the uncontrolled case numerically simulated by using the wind load deduced from the measured data and a structural model of the building. It is demonstrated that the AMD system shows good control performance in reducing the building accelerations.

The head-capacity corves for pumps developed by the pump manufacturer are based on tests of a single pump operating in a semi-infinite pool with no nearby walls or floors and with no stray currents. Hence, flow into the pump suction is symmetrical with no vortices or swirling. Pump station designers rely on these curves to define the operating conditions for the pump selected. However, various constraints such as size, cost, and limitations on storage time require walls, floors, and pump intakes to be close proximity to each other. From this background, the authors are carrying out a systematic study on the flow characteristics of intakes within a sump found in pump stations. Model pump intake basin is designed and PIV is adopted as a measuring tool to capture the instantaneous flow patterns. Special attention is paid to investigate the flow patterns near the free surface, side-wall, and back-wall due to different clearances from back-wall to vortical intake pipe. Moreover, the locations and patterns of the various types of vortices that were found in the examinations are discussed.

Model pump intake basin is designed and PIV is adopted as a measuring tool to capture the instantaneous flow patterns. Special attention is paid to investigate the flow patterns near the free surface due to different clearances from back-wall to vertical intake pipe with bell mouse and without. Moreover, the locations and vorticities of the various types of vortices that were found in the examinations are discussed.

This paper presents the development of the transfer case for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle. A transfer case is composed of many parts, including helical gear, shaft, bearing, planetary gear, and others. Helical gears are currently used as power transmitting gears due to their relatively smooth and silent operation, large load carrying capacity, and operation at higher speeds. The key parameter in transfer case development is the bending stress at the root of a tooth in the helical gear. The bending stress of the helical gear has been studied through theoretical calculation and finite element method (FEM) analysis. Major factors of the bending stress calculation are determined according to American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) standards, and FEM model analysis of the helical gear is conducted. FEM results are compared with theoretical calculations and the difference of the bending stress is described.
