Many materials including cementitious concrete-type materials undergo material property changes during high-rate loading. There is a wealth of research regarding this phenomenon for concrete in compression and tension. However, there is minimal knowledge about how mortar material used in concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction behaves in high-rate shear loading. A series of experiments was conducted to examine the bond strength of mortar bonded to CMU units under high-rate shear loading. A novel experimental setup using a shock tube and dynamic ram were used to load specially constructed shear triplets in a double lap shear configuration with no pre-compression. The Finite Element Method was leveraged in conjunction with data from the experimental investigation to establish if the shear bond between concrete masonry units and mortar exhibits any rate dependency. An increase in shear bond strength was observed when loaded at a high strain rate. This data indicates that the CMU-mortar bond exhibits a rate dependent strength change and illustrates the need for further study of the CMU-mortar interface characteristics at high strain rates.

In this study, the resonant motion of a floating offshore wind system due to negative damping was mitigated by peak shaving algorithms of the NREL ROSCO controller, and the decreased gains of the blade pitch controller by the gain detuning method for the floating system was increased to the gains of onshore baseline controller to improve the power performance of the turbine. To check the performance of the controller, the dynamic responses between the existing gain-detuned pitch controller and the ROSCO controller with peak shaving control for an OC4 floating offshore wind system were compared. As a result of DLC1.1 at near-rated wind speed, when peak shaving was applied, the average generator power decreased by 1.9%, but it was confirmed that the standard deviation was reduced and stability was improved with fast pitch regulation. In addition, since peak shaving reduces the maximum thrust of the rotor, was confirmed that not only are the loads of the blades and tower reduced, but the surge motion of the floater is also reduced, and the tension of the mooring lines is reduced.

To improve the accuracy of time-frequency analysis (TFA) and instantaneous frequency (IF) extraction of structural dynamic response signals, this paper improves the spline-kernelled chirplet transform, and a new form of modified spline-kernelled chirplet transform (MSCT) based on revised Gaussian window function and energy concentration principle is put forward. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical examples of single-component signal, multicomponent signal, single-degree-of-freedom Duffing nonlinear system and two-layer shear frame structure model. Then, a time-varying cable test is designed to collect the acceleration response signals under linear changing tension, and the IF extraction of these signals is performed by using MSCT, which further verifies the effectiveness and accuracy of this method. Through numerical simulation and experimental verification, it is proved that the proposed method can effectively extract the IF of nonlinear structure and time-varying structure.

이 연구에서는 동결융해 사이클을 경험한 2가지 종류의 휨부재의 거동특성을 평가하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 동결융해에 따른 철근콘크리트 보의 거동특성을 검토하는 것이다. 이를 위해 일부 실험체는 동결융해를 경험하기 전, 인장철근이 항복되기까지 손상을 입도록 계획되었다. 또한 반복하중 재하시 강성저하 특성을 평가하기 위하여 단조 및 반복재하 실험을 실시하였다. 재료 실험 결과, 동결융해 300사이클을 경험한 콘크리트의 상대동탄성계수는 86.8%까지 감소되었으나 내동해저항성은 충분히 가지고 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 단조재하 실험 결과, 동결융해 사이클에 따른 휨 강도, 연성 및 강성은 상대적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 인위적 균열손상을 경험한 BDF13 시리즈는 현행 콘크리트설계기준에서 요구하는 공칭모멘트를 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 반복재하시 BF75 시리즈에서 동결융해를 경험함에 따라 10% 이상의 반복강성 저하를 나타내었다. 따라서 내진부재와 같이 반복하중을 받게 되는 부재를 설계할 경우, 동결융해로 인한 압축측 콘크리트의 변형 특성도 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To make a stable o/w emulsion, the effects of egg lecithin as an emulsifier and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as an auxiliary emulsifier on the physical stability of emulsion were investigated. The oil-in-water emulsion system was manufactured by microfluidizer and evaluated the physical stability. Average particle size and size distribution of emulsion was measured by dynamic light scattering analyzer and interfacial tension was measured. From the interfacial tension tested, critical micelle concentration of the egg lecithin was 0.1 %w/v and optimal concentration for the preparation of emulsion was 1.0 %w/v. The mean particle size was about $0.2\;{\mu}m$ which was suitable for injections. The short-term accelerated stability studies were conducted by centrifugation, freeze-thaw method and shaking of the emulsion samples. The addition of PVP was caused the reduction in the particle size and improved the physical stability of emulsion. These results suggested that a mixed interfacial film comprising the egg lecithin and PVP was formed at the o/w interface and it was effective in preventing phase separation under thermic or mechanical stress. We used antineoplaston A10 (A10) as a model drug which is peptide and amino acid derivative having a action to the living organism against the development of neoplastic growth by a nonimmunological progress. It has a poor solubility in water and there may be a difficulty in formulation of A10. Emulsion formulation study about A10 was performed. Solubility of A10 in emulsion was about five times as high as that in water. From the results of solubility and partition coefficient, almost A10 molecules in o/w emulsion exist in the interface between oil and water.

The present study focuses on examining the structural behaviour of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams under high rates of loading largely associated with impact problems. Fibres are added to the concrete mix to enhance ductility and energy absorption, which is important for impact-resistant design. A simple, yet practical non-linear finite-element analysis (NLFEA) model was used in the present study. Experimental static and impact tests were also carried out on beams spanning 1.3 meter with weights dropped from heights of 1.5 m and 2.5 m, respectively. The numerical model realistically describes the fully-brittle tensile behaviour of plain concrete as well as the contribution of steel fibres to the post-cracking response (the latter was allowed for by conveniently adjusting the constitutive relations for plain concrete, mainly in uniaxial tension). Suitable material relations (describing compression, tension and shear) were selected for SFRC and incorporated into ABAQUS software Brittle Cracking concrete model. A more complex model (i.e., the Damaged Plasticity concrete model in ABAQUS) was also considered and it was found that the seemingly simple (but fundamental) Brittle Cracking model yielded reliable results. Published data obtained from drop-weight experimental tests on RC and SFRC beams indicates that there is an increase in the maximum load recorded (compared to the corresponding static one) and a reduction in the portion of the beam span reacting to the impact load. However, there is considerable scatter and the specimens were often tested to complete destruction and thus yielding post-failure characteristics of little design value and making it difficult to pinpoint the actual load-carrying capacity and identify the associated true ultimate limit state (ULS). To address this, dynamic NLFEA was employed and the impact load applied was reduced gradually and applied in pulses to pinpoint the actual failure point. Different case studies were considered covering impact loading responses at both the material and structural levels as well as comparisons between RC and SFRC specimens. Steel fibres were found to increase the load-carrying capacity and deformability by offering better control over the cracking process concrete undergoes and allowing the impact energy to be absorbed more effectively compared to conventional RC members. This is useful for impact-resistant design of SFRC beams.

We are witnessing the growing maritime tension on the East Asian sea these days. Each naval powers in the region are competing each other to acquire more advanced naval capabilities. Based upon the rapid economic development, China is actively beefing up its naval capabilities and expand its boundary of naval activities all over the East Asian region. Chinese Navy already unveiled its expansive naval strategy replacing the traditional concept of 'Near-Sea Defense' with the new concept of 'Far-Sea Defense' strategy. In response to potential rival's naval build up, the U.S. is redeploying its naval forces focusing on the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. enhances its joint naval exercises with the countries in the region, such as Japan, India, Australia and so on. In addition, Washington is devising new naval strategy under the concept of 'Air-Sea Battle' to deter Peking's so-called 'Anti-Access/ Area Denial(A2AD)' strategy. As a close ally of the U.S., Japan also disclosed its clear intention to strengthen the Maritime Self Defense Force(MSDF)'s capabilities by introducing the new concept of 'Dynamic Defense Force' in 2011. Under the new concept, JMSDF is pursuing the additional acquisition of submarines, quasi-aircraft carriers, Aegis-equipped destroyers, etc. Under the new president's strong leadership, Russia is also invigorating the naval build-up. Especially, Russia is fortifying the Pacific Fleet's naval assets by deploying new-type of naval ships such as the Mistral which was imported from France. In the midst of competitive naval build-up among the major naval powers in the region, we are observing the growing maritime conflicts on the East China Sea as well as South China Sea. Those naval conflicts can pose severe threats to our national interests. Maritime conflicts on the East or South China Sea can imperil our sea lanes which will be indispensible for national economic development. Neighboring countries' maritime conflicts also will cast an uncertainty on the path to mobilize international cooperation to resolve the North Korean issues. We should contribute to ease the maritime tension in the region by various ways. First, we should actively galvanize the bilateral maritime dialogue among the major naval powers in the region. Second, we also should take the lead to form a multilateral maritime cooperation mechanism in the region. Above all, we should set the aim to be a peaceful maritime power who can contribute to a building of stable maritime order in the region with a considerable naval power.

본 연구에서는 riser 내부의 유체흐름에 의해 발생하는 유체력이 심해저 riser의 동특성에 미치는 영향에 관해 조사하였다. riser의 비선형 동적해석을 위해 riser 내부의 유체흐름을 시스템에 포함하여 수학적 모델을 개발하였으며 유도된 모델에 Galerkin의 유한요소근사법과 시간증분자를 적용함으로써 수치해석을 위한 모델을 개발하였다. 또한 시스템의 자유도를 줄이고 비선형모델의 수치해를 얻기 위해 행해지는 반복계산을 줄이며 정확도를 높이기 위해 riser의 축방향 extensibility 조건을 사용 하였다. 관내부 유체 흐름으로 인한 riser의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 상부 인장력, 조류속도, 파주기 등과 같은 여러 영향요인들을 변화시키면서 조사하였다. 수치해석 결과 내부류체 흐름으로 인한 영향을 줄이기 위해서는 riser의 상부에 인장력을 riser의 허용내력 한도내에서 증가시키는 방법이 있으나 심해저로 갈수록 인장력 증가에 한계가 있기 때문에 riser 주위에 부체를 부착시키는 방법이 제시된다. 이 이외에도 riser의 해석시 대변형으로 인한 비선형성을 고려하게 되면 내부 유체흐름이 riser의 동특성에 미치는 영향을 증가시킴을 알 수 있었다.

토양수리특성을 규명하는 것은 사면에서의 수문과정을 이해하는 과정에서 중요한 부분이다. 이 연구에서는 토양공극발달 및 수리학적 특성의 시간적인 변화특성에 대해서 조사하였다. 특히, 대공극 흐름이나 수리전도도와 관련된 특성들을 설마천 유역의 범륜사 사면과 광릉연구유역의 원두부 소사면에서 관측하였다. 연직 흐름의 측정을 위해 사용된 기기는 장력 침투계로 약 8개월동안 토양층 표면의 수리전도도를 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 3월, 6월, 9월의 수리전도도가 상대적으로 크지만, 5월과 10월의 경우는 낮은 값을 보여준다. 이는 식생의 세근활동 등과 관련된 공극구조의 발달양상과 선행강우사상으로 인한 토양수분의 영향으로 설명될 수 있다. 침투과정에서 있어서 대공극은 산림 유역에서의 수리전도도에 미치는 영향은 대단히 크며, 수문학적 과정에 있어서도 매우 중요한 기작이다. 본 연구는 현장에서 측정된 토양 수리특성의 시간적 불균일성을 보여주는 사례로 사면에서의 침투과정이 동적인 과정임을 보여주고 있고, 관련된 다양한 토양 수리학적 특성들은 국내 산지사면에서 발생되는 수문기작을 이해하는데 중요한 기초 자료가 된다.
