Sheet aluminum alloys used in manufacturing of machine structures for transportation show the difference of crack growth speed depending on thickness under the constant fatigue stress condition. The referred thickness effect is a major fatigue failure property of sheet aluminum alloys. In this work, we identified the thickness effect in fatigue test of thick plate and thin plate of Al 2024-T3 alloy under the constant fatigue stress condition, and presented the thickness effect to a correlative equation, $U_{i}^{equ}=f(R_t)$ which is determined by the shape factor, thickness ratio, $R_t$ and the loading factor, equivalent effective stress intensity ratio depending on thickness, $U_{i}^{equ}$. And we analyzed quantitatively the crack growth retardation behavior in thin plate compared to thick plate by the thickness effect using ${\Delta}K$ conversion method. We obtained such values as decrement of thickness(DoT), decrement of stress intensity factor range, ${\Delta}K$ (DoS) and identified the relation between them to present the nature of thickness effect in this work.

The simple linear elastic-perfectly plastic model with soil parameters $s_u,\;E_u$ and n of undrained condition is usually applied to predict the displacement of a constructed diaphragm wall(DW) on soft soils during excavation. However, the application of this soil model for finite element analysis could not interpret the continued increment of the lateral displacement of the DW for the large and deep excavation area both during the elapsed time without activity of excavation and after finishing excavation. To study the characteristic behaviors of soil behind the DW during the periods without excavation, a series of tests on soft Bangkok clay samples are simulated in the same manner as stress condition of soil elements happening behind diaphragm wall by triaxial tests. Three kinds of triaxial tests are carried out in this research: $K_0$ consolidated undrained compression($CK_0U_C$) and $K_0$ consolidated drained/undrained unloading compression with periodic decrement of horizontal pressure($CK_0DUC$ and $CK_0UUC$). The study shows that the shear strength of series $CK_0DUC$ tests is equal to the residual strength of $CK_0UC$ tests. The Young's modulus determined at each decrement step of the horizontal pressure of soil specimen on $CK_0DUC$ tests decreases with increase in the deviator stress. In addition, the slope of Critical State Line of both $CK_0UC$ and $CK_0DUC$ tests is equal. Moreover, the axial and radial strain rates of each decrement of horizontal pressure step of $CK_0DUC$ tests are established with the function of time, a slope of critical state line and a ratio of deviator and mean effective stress. This study shows that the results of the unloading compression triaxial tests can be used to predict the diaphragm wall deflection during excavation.

This paper presented as follows results of laboratory model tests with various shaped footings on soil bed reinforced with the strips on the base of behaviour of soil structure according to the loads and triaxial test results reinforced with geotextiles. Their parameters studied were the effects on the bearing capacity of a footing of the first layer of reinforcement, horizontal and vertical spacing of layers, number of layers, tensile strength of reinforcement and iclination load to the vertical 1.Depending on the strip arrangement, ultimate bearing capacity values could be more improved than urreinforced soil and the failure of soil was that the soil structure was transfered from the macrospace to microspase and its arrangement, from edge to edge to face to face. 2.The reinforcement was produced the reinforcing effects due to controlling the value of factor of one and permeable reinforcement was never a barrier of drainage condition. 3.Strength ratio was decreased as a linear shape according to increment of saturation degree of soil used even though at the lower strength ratio, the value of M-factor was rot influenced on the strength ratio but impermeable reinforcement decreased the strength of bearing capacity. 4.Ultimate bearing capacity under the plane-strain condition was appeared a little larger than triaxial or the other theoretical formulars and the circular footing more effective. 5.The maximum reinforcing effects were obtained at U I B=o.5, B / B=3 and N=3, when over that limit only acting as a anchor, and same strength of fabric appeared larger reinforcing effects compared to the thinner one. 6.As the LDR increased, more and more BCR occurred and there was appeared a block action below Z / B=O.5, but over the value, decrement of BCR was shown linear relation, and no effects above one. 7.The coefficient of the inclination was shown of minimum at the three layers of fabrics, but the value of H / B related to the ultimate load was decreased as increment of inclination degree, even though over the value of 4.5 there wasn't expected to the reinforcing effects As a consequence of the effects on load inclination, the degree of inclination of 15 per cent was decreased the bearing capacity of 70 per cent but irnproved the effects of 45 per cent through the insertion of geotextile.

Recently as application of high-strength concrete on concrete structures has been on the rise, use of non-standard specimen is increasing. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of specimen's size effect, ratio of height/diameter and curing conditions on concrete compressive strength. Results of experiments showed that as size of specimen increased as much as 1 mm, standard design compressive strength of 24MPa fell as much as0.15MPa 40MPa fell as much as 0.1MPa 80MPa fell as much as 0.3MPa, and it indicates that as the level of strength is intensified, the decrement of compressive strength increases. As ratio of height/diameter increased as much as 1.0, compressive strength of 24MPa fell as much as 2.9MPa 40MPa fell as much as 3.7MPa 80MPa fell as much as 9.8MPa, and it means that as strength of concrete is higher, influence of ratio of height/diameter becomes bigger.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of probabilistic slotted anti-collision algorithm used in EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 (Gen2). To increase throughput and system efficiency, and to decrease tag identification time and collision ratio, we propose new tag anti-collision algorithms, which are FAFQ (fired adjustable flamed Q) algorithm and AAFQ (adaptive adjustable framed Q) algorithm, by using QueryAdjust command. We also propose grouping method based on Gen2 to improve the efficiency of tag identification. The simulation results show that all the proposed algorithms outperform Q algorithm, and AAFQ algorithm performs the best. That is, AAFQ has an increment of 5% of system efficiency and a decrement of 4.5% of collision ratio. For FAFQ and AAFQ algorithm, the performance of grouping method is similar to that of ungrouping method. However, for Q algorithm in Gen2, grouping method can increase throughput and system efficiency, and decrease tag identification time and collision ratio compared with ungrouping method.

Dynamic instability of rotating disks is the most significant factor to limit its rotating speed. Application of composite materials to rotating disks may enhance the dynamic stability leading to a possible design of rotating disks with lightweight and high speed. Whereas much work has been done on the effect of transverse shear and rotary inertia, called Timoshenko effect, on the dynamic behavior of plates, there is little work on the correlation between the effect and the rotation of disk, especially nothing in case of composite disks. The dynamic equations of a rotating composite disk are formulated with the Timoshenko effect and the vibrational analysis is performed by using a commercial package MSC/NASTRAN. According to the results, the Timoshenko effect goes seesaw in some modes, unlike the well-known fact that the effect decreases as the rotating speed increases. And it can be concluded, based only on the present results, that decrement of the Timoshenko effect by disk rotation grows larger as the thickness ratio decreases, the diameter ratio increases, the modulus ratio increases, and the mode number increases.

This paper discusses income replacement ratios of national pension, retirement pension and individual annuities in Korea. These ratios are useful indicators for the assessment of retirement income security of workers. This paper projects income replacement ratios, using the pension entry rate, decrement rates, and life tables of the National Statistical Office. The result of the actuarial projection is that the income replacement ratio of national pension is approximately 21.0 to 22.7%, that the income replacement ratio of retirement pension is about 5.8 to 9.7%, and that the income replacement ratio of an individual annuity is about 13.5 to 21.0%, respectively. The income replacement ratio by income varies due to the effects of income redistribution in national pension and retirement pension, but the income replacement ratio of an individual annuity is constant, regardless of income.

In this study, waterborne polyurethane was prepared from polyester polyol, $H_{12}MDI$, DMPA and sulfopropylated polypropyleneglycol-${\alpha}$,${\omega}$-diamine (SP). The $T_g$ of waterborne polyurethane was increased as the SP content increased, while it was decreased at the NCO/OH ratio of 1.8. Also the hydrolysis-resistance and tensile strength were increased as the SP content increased. The tensile strength decrement of WPU-SP was 2~5% with the exception of WPU-SP-1.

In this paper, we studied the physical and electrical characteristics of $\textrm{WSi}_{x}$ thin film with respect to the adoption of the DCS (dichlorosiliane) post flow and the variation of deposition temperature. XRD measurements show that as deposited thin film has a hexagonal structure regardless of deposition Process. However, we find that the phase of thin film has changed to a tetragonal structure after the heat treatment at $680^{\circ}C$. Adoption of DCS post flow and increment of deposition temperature result in the increments of Si/W composition ratio. These conditions also result in the increment of sheet resistance by the amount 3.0~4.2$\Omega$/$\square$, but give the tendency in the decrement of stress by 0.27~0.3 E10dyne/$\textrm{cm}^2$. We also find that the contact resistance of word line and bit line interconnection was decreased by the amount 5.33~16.43$\mu$$\Omega$-$\textrm{cm}^2$, when applying DCS post flow and increasing deposition temperature.
