도상 자갈층은 열차하중을 분산하고 지지하는 중요한 역할을 수행하나, 큰 공극으로 인하여 열차 동하중 작용시 침하가 발생하여 지속적인 유지보수가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 특정한 형상의 인공자갈 3종류 (정사각 형상, 테트라 포드 형상, 육각 형상) 를 혼합한 도상 자갈층을 2 차원 개별 요소 해석법을 이용하여 모델링하고, 열차 동하중에 의한 도상 층의 침하 특성을 평가하기 위하여 침목에 의한 반복 재하 시험을 실시하였다. 동 해석 결과 침목 하부에서 작은 힘의 전달경로가 형성된 테트라 포드형의 인공 자갈이 포함된 도상 층에서 침하가 가장 작게 발생하였다. 또한, 도상층 내 접촉력 분포로부터 오목 형상을 갖는 테트라 포드 형상을 포함한 인공 자갈 혼합 도상에서 힘의 다중 전달 경로를 형성하기 쉬우며, 이를 통하여 도상 층으로 전달된 열차 하중이 보다 다양한 경로로 균등하게 분산될 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 반복 열차 하중 재하 시 오목 형상의 인공 자갈이 혼합된 도상 층에서 훨씬 효과적으로 침하 발생을 저감시킬 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 도상 층에서의 이와 같은 침하 저감 효과는 유지보수를 절감할 수 있는 자갈궤도 구조에 대한 가능성을 보여준다.

일반적으로 암반 터널 지진해석 시 절리의 영향을 무시하며 암반을 연속체라 가정한다. 하지만 이와 같은 가정의 적절성에 관해서는 연구된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 응답변위법을 적용하여 지진동에 의하여 유발되는 암반 절리의 변위가 터널의 응답에 미치는 영향을 일련의 개별요소법을 이용하여 수치적으로 규명하였다. 해석에는 절리와 터널의 교차위치, 절리의 강성, 경사, 간격, 그리고 암반과 터널 사이의 인터페이스 강성이 고려되었다. 해석 결과, 절리의 강성이 터널에 가장 지배적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 절리의 간격은 클수록 변위가 국부적으로 집중되어 응답이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 절리의 경사는 정적인 경우와는 상반되게 $45^{\circ}$에서 응답이 가장 작게 계산되었다. 이는 전단변형으로 인하여 수직면과 수평면에 큰 전단응력이 작용하여 주응력면이 $45^{\circ}$로 회전하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로 절리의 경사, 간격, 강성 모두 터널의 응답에 큰 영향을 미치며 특히 간격이 큰 미끈한 수직 또는 수평방향 절리가 터널을 통과하는 경우가 가장 위험한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 터널 라이닝에는 휨응력보다는 전단응력이 큰 폭으로 증가하므로 내진설계 시 이를 반드시 검토해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

PURPOSES : To solve problems in current compaction control DCPT(Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Test), highly correlated with various testing methods, simple, and economic is being applied. However, it、s hard to utilize DCPT results due to the few numerical analyses for DCPT have been performed and the lack of data accumulation. Therefore, this study tried to verify the validation of numerical modeling for DCPT by comparing and analyzing the results of numerical analyses with field tests. METHODS: The ground elastic modulus and PR(Penetration Rate) value were estimated by using PFC(Particle Flow Code) 3D program based on the discrete element method. Those values were compared and analyzed with the result of field tests. Also, back analysis was conducted to describe ground elastic modulus of field tests. RESULTS : Relative errors of PR value between the numerical analyses and field tests were calculated to be comparatively low. Also, the relationship between elastic modulus and PR value turned out to be similar. CONCLUSIONS : Numerical modeling of DCPT is considered to be suitable for describing field tests by carrying out numerical analysis using PFC 3D program.

The binary mixture consists of two types of granular media with different physical attributes and sizes, which can be characterized by the percentage of large granules by weight (P) and the particle size ratio (${\alpha}$). Researchers determine that two thresholds ($P_S$ and $P_L$) exist for the peak shear strength of binary mixtures, i.e., at $P{\leq}P_S$, the peak shear strength is controlled by the small granules; at $P{\leq}P_L$, the peak shear strength is controlled by the large granules; at $P_S{\leq}P{\leq}P_L$, the peak shear strength is governed by both the large and small granules. However, the thresholds of binary mixtures with different ${\alpha}$ values, and the explanation related to the inner details of binary mixtures to account for why these thresholds exist, require further confirmation. This paper considers the mechanical behavior of binary mixtures with DEM analysis. The thresholds of binary mixtures are found to be strongly related to their coordination numbers $Z_L$ for all values of ${\alpha}$, where $Z_L$ denotes the partial coordination number only between the large particles. The arrangement structure of the large particles is examined when P approaches the thresholds, and a similar arrangement structure of large particles is formed in both 2D and 3D particle systems.

Foundations are a vital part of structures. Over time, the foundations can deteriorate due to unforeseen overloads and/or settlements, resulting in the appearance of cracks in the concrete. These cracks produce changes in the static and dynamic behavior of the affected foundation, which alter its load carrying capacity. In this work, non-destructive techniques of relative simplicity of application are presented for the detection, location, and quantification of damage, using numerical models, solved with the finite element method and Power Series. For this, two types of parameters are used: static (displacement and elastic curvature) and dynamics (natural frequencies). In the static analysis, the damage detection is done by means of a finite elements model representing a beam supported on an elastic foundation with a discrete crack that varies in length and location. With regard to dynamic analysis, the governing equations of the model are presented and a method based on Power Series is used to obtain the solution for a data set, which could be the Winkler coefficient, the location of the crack or the frequency. In order to validate the proposed methodologies, these techniques are applied to data obtained from laboratory tests.

Analysis of the 5'-regulatory sequence of the caprine ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin (BLG) gene promoter revealed that two different types of activation were mediated by discrete regions, from -740 to -470 and from -205 to 109, in cultured mammary HC11 cells. Activation mediated by the proximal region was observed regardless of cell growth status. Distal activation, however, was observed only after confluent growth of the cells and was enhanced by the lactogenic hormones. This activation was accompanied by appearance of binding activity of proteins to these regions in the mammary HC11 cells. The binding motifs were broadly distributed over the upstream regulatory sequence. Comparison of the binding regions and mutation analysis suggest that a binding motif homologous to the ${\gamma}$-interferon responsive element (${\gamma}$-IRE) is responsible for transcriptional activation by hormonal induction in the mammary HC11 cells. The multiple ${\gamma}$-IRE homologous motifs seem to play a significant role in enhancing mammary cell-specific activation of the caprine BLG gene.

Generators are the most complex and expensive single element in a power system. The generator protection relays should to minimize damage during fault states and must be designed for maximum reliability. A conventional CDR(Current Differential Relaying) technique based on DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) filter have the disadvantages that the time information can lead to loss in the process of converting the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. A WT(Wavelet transform) and WT analysis is known that it is possible with the local analysis of the fault and transient signal. In this paper, to overcome the defects in the DFT process, an application of WT for fault detection of generator is presented. This paper describes an selection of mother Wavelet to detect faults of generator. Using collected data from the fault simulation with ATPdraw, we analyzed the several mother Wavelet through the course of MLD(multi-level decomposition) using MATLAB software. Finally, it can be seen that the proposed technique using detail coefficient of Daubechies level 2 which can be fault discriminant of generator.

This research is comprised of virtually simulating behavior while experiencing low gravity effects in advance of real world testing in low gravity aboard Zero Gravity Corporation's (Zero-G) research aircraft (727-200F). The experiment simulated a drill rig penetrating a regolith simulant. Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock on surfaces of the Earth' moon, asteroids and Mars. The behavior and propagation of space debris when drilled in low gravity was tested through simulations and visualization in a leading dynamic simulation software as well as discrete element modeling software and in preparation for comparing to real world results from flying the experiment aboard Zero-G. The study of outer space regolith could lead to deeper scientific knowledge of extra-terrestrial surfaces, which could lead us to breakthroughs with respect to space mining or in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). These studies aimed to test and evaluate the drilling process in low to zero gravity environments and to determine static stress analysis on the drill when tested in low gravity environments. These tests and simulations were conducted by a team from Texas A&M University's Department of Construction Science, the United States Air Force Academy's Department of Astronautical Engineering, and Crow Industries

This paper proposes a solution to the problems of manufacturing cost and processability by applying discrete material and thickness optimization (DMTO) and minimizing the use of high-strength, lightweight materials in the optimization process. A simple infant pop-up seat model was selected as the application target, and the weight reduction effect and variation in strength according to the optimization results were observed. In this study, a simplified finite element model of an infant pop-up seat frame was first constructed. The model was used to perform a static structural analysis to verify the weight and strength of each part. The D-optimal design of the experimental method was then used to observe the influence of each part on the weight and strength. This process was applied using discrete thickness optimization (DTO) (which applies high-strength, lightweight materials and optimizes only the thickness) and DMTO (which considers both the material and thickness). The DTO and DMTO results were compared to verify the design method that determines the major parts and simultaneously considers the material and thickness. Accordingly, in this study, an optimal lightweight design that satisfied the strength standards of the seat frame was derived. Furthermore, discretization parameters were used to minimize the application of high-strength, lightweight materials.
