In this study, Brass endcap with 2, 3, 5, and 7mm contact surface and 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5mm conical cavity depths was fabricated by the punch die while keeping the cavity diameter constant 9.25mm then displacement characteristics of the cymbal actuators with each of brass endcap thickness were measured under an applied voltage $60V_{max}$. Dispacement increased with increasing contact surface and resonant frequency decreased with increasing contact surface, cymbal actuator with 7mm contact surface and 1.5mm endcap cavity depth exhibits $35.89{\mu}m$ displacement and 18.8kHz resonant frequency, displacement increased with increasing endcap cavity depth while contact surface was kept constant at 3mm and Below a endcap thickness of 0.2mm, Differences in displacement between 1.2mm and 1.5mm cavity depth appeared at $0.18{\mu}m$. that is, displacement of cymbal actuator with 1.2mm over cavity depth saturated nearly.

In this study, we experimentally investigate the possibility of skin-friction drag reduction by series of transverse cavities in a turbulent boundary layer flow. The effects of cavity depth (d), cavity length (l) and cavity spacing (s) on the skin friction drag are examined in the range of $Re_{\theta}\;=\;4030\;{\sim}\;7360$, $d/{\theta}_0\;=\;0.13\;{\sim}1.03$, l/d = 1 ~ 4 and s/d = 5 ~ 20. We perform experiments for twenty different cavity geometries and directly measure total drag force using in-house force measurement system. In most cases, the skin friction drag is increased. At several cases, however, small drag reduction is obtained. The variation of the skin ftiction drag is more sensitive to the cavity length than to the cavity depth or cavity spacing, and drag is reduced at $s/l\;{\geq}\;10$ and $l/{\theta}_0\;{\leq}\;0.26$ irrespective of the cavity depth. At $l/\bar{\theta}_0\;=\;0.13$ and s/l = 10, maximum 2% drag reduction is achieved. When the skin friction drag is reduced, there is little interaction between the flows inside and outside cavity, and the flow changed by the cavity is rapidly recovered at the following crest. A stable vortex is formed inside a cavity in the case of drag reduction. This vortex generates negative skin friction drag at the cavity bottom wall. Although there is form drag due to the cavity itself, total drag is reduced due to the negative skin friction drag.

Composite resins has been widely used in dental clinics because of esthetic restoration. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the cavity designs on the compressive stress of resin restoration. So, the author made the standardized specimen of four types (Type of speciemen are width 1.5mm, depth 2mm, width 1.5mm, depth 3mm, width 2mm, depth 2mm, width 2mm, depth 3mm). The compressive strength was measured by universal testing machine (Tong Kwang Co.) The results indicating following; 1. There was a statistic significance of compressive strength between four cavity forms. 2. There was no difference of significance of compressive strength between two resins. 3. There was a significance of compressive strength between depth 3mm width 1.5mm and depth 3mm width 2mm.

In this study the numerical analyses on cavity flow in supersonic flow field are conducted. According to the length-to-depth ratio of cavity, the shear layer is changed, consequently influencing on vortex structure inside the cavity. Especially in case the fluid flow outside cavity impinges inside the cavity, the oscillation of the cavity flow is identified. Another result is that though the cavity flow shows the unsteadiness, characteristics of cavity flow can be represented by pressure coefficients converged.

In this study, an experimental study in sand ground that was prepared by raining method was performed for modeling the bearing capacity behavior of strip footing above a cavity. The critical range of bearing capacity of the strip footing affected by underground cavity was investigated by comparing results between experiment and theory. The size of the critical region depends on several factors such as footing shape, soil property, cavity size and cavity shape. The ultimate bearing capacity was more influenced by the depth of the underground cavity than the eccentricity of the underground. In addition, an underground cavity influences on not only the decrease of the bearing capacity, but also the differential settlement of a strip footing.

In order to examine the possibility of using a cavity as a passive device for reduction of skin friction and heat transfer, an intensive parametric study over a broad range of the cavity depth and length at different Reynolds numbers is performed for both laminar and turbulent boundary layers in the present study. Direct and large eddy simulation techniques are used for turbulent boundary layers at low and moderate Reynolds numbers, respectively. for both laminar and turbulent boundary layers over a cavity, a flow oscillation occurs due to the shear layer instability when the cavity depth and length are sufficiently large and it plays an important role in the determination of drag and heat-transfer increase or decrease. For a cavity sufficiently small to suppress the flow oscillation, both the total drag and heat transfer are reduced. Therefore, the applicability of a cavity as a passive device for reduction of drag and heat transfer is fully confirmed in the present study. Scaling based on the wall shear rate of the incoming boundary layer is also proposed and it is found to be valid in steady flow over a cavity.

Three-dimensional incompressible flow past an open cavity in a channel is investigated using Detached Eddy Simulation(DES). The length to depth ratio of the cavity is 2 and the Reynolds number defined with the cavity depth is 3,360. The DES methods are based on the Menter's SST model. In the present work, two types of inflow conditions are used: one is RANS profile, the other is LES inflow from another Large Eddy Simulation(LES) of fully developed channel flow. The results are compared with experimental data and LES results in terms of the mean statistics, temporal physics and scalar transport phenomenon of the flow.

Fully three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulation calculations of the flow past 2D cavity are conducted to study the purging of neutrally buoyant or dense miscible contaminants introduced instantaneously inside the cavity. The length to depth ratio(L/D) is 2 and Reynolds number based on the depth is 3,360. Fully developed turbulent inflow are fed at the inlet from precursor simulation of channel flow. Mean flow pattern and unsteady features are investigated based on the experimental data of Pereira and Sousa. From the study of mass exchange processes, it is found that the mechanism of removal of the contaminant is very different between the non-buoyant and buoyant cases. In the buoyant case, internal wave motion which interacts with a strong cavity vortex is dominant in the ejection mechanism of the contaminants.

The authors performed an experimental study on the retention force in cavities with various depth and width. We used the simple model cavities which were cylindrically formed to eliminate the unexpected influence during experiment, and obtained following results. 1. The retention force in the cavities with parallel wall was vigorous even in the small cavity and increased considerably followed by extending the cavity size. 2. The ratention force resulted more vigorously by that the depth became deeper than that the distance between the lateral walls became longer. 3. Compared with the retention force in the cavities which had the same frictional lateral surface, it was more vigorous in the deeper cavity than in the cavity which was longer distance between the lateral surfaces.
