The main aim of this study was to suppress the angular velocity against strong winds during storms and analyze the stability and performance of the phase plane method. The utilization of small-scale wind turbine system has become common in agriculture, houses, etc. Therefore, it is considered to be a scheme for preserving the natural energy or avoiding the use of fossil fuels. Moreover, settling small-scaled wind turbines is simpler and more acceptable compared to ordinary huge wind turbines. In addition, after converting the energy there is no requirement for distribution. Therefore, a much lower cost can be expected for small-scaled wind turbines. On the other hand, this system cannot be operated continuously because the small-scaled wind turbine consists of a small blade that has low inertia momentum. Therefore, it may exceed the boundary of angular velocity, which may cause a fault in the system due to the centrifugal force. The aim of this study was to reduce the angular velocity by controlling the stall factor. Stall factor control consists of two control methods. One is a shock absorber that is loaded in the junction of the axis of the blade of the wind turbine gear wheel and the other is pitch angle control. Basically, the stall factor itself exhibits nonlinear behavior. Therefore, this paper confirmed the feasibility of stall factor control in producing desirable performance whilst maintaining stability.

메틸렌 디이소시아네이트(MDI)가 폴리(메틸 메타크릴레이트)-개질된 전분/스티렌-부타디엔 고무(PMMA-modified starch/SBR) 복합체의 물성을 향상시키기 위하여 새로운 개질제로 조사되었다. 한쪽에는 우레탄 결합의 형성으로 인해 다른 한쪽에는 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ 접착 때문에 MDI는 PMMA-modified starch/SBR 계면에서 중간 결합 역할을 하는 것이 형태학적, 기계적, 동역학적 그리고 열적 분해 연구에 의하여 증명되었다. 결과적으로, MDI의 존재는 PMMA-modified starch/SBR 복합체의 기계적 물성과 열적 안정성을 괄목할만하게 개선하였다. 게다가, 생성된 MDI/PMMA-modified starch/SBR 복합체의 여러 가지 물성에 대한 전분 함량의 효과가 형태학, 가황 특성, 기계적 물성, 톨루엔 팽윤 거동, 그리고 열적 안정성에서 조사되었고 자세하게 논의되었다. MDI/PMMA-modified starch/SBR 복합체는 carbon black/SBR(CB/SBR) 복합체보다 우수한 물성을 보였고, 고무 배합물에서 CB의 대체물로서 재생 가능한 전분의 유력한 사용을 보여주었다.

현재 각종 개발사업으로 절토 비탈면은 토지이용에 따라 불가피하게 증가되고 있는 추세에 있으며, 다양한 관리 주체에 의해 운영되고 있는 탐방로 비탈면은 오랜 풍화로 인해 노후화되고 있는 현실이다. 비탈면의 붕괴는 그 불확실성과 발생시점에 대한 예측 불가능으로 불가피한 재산 및 인명피해가 발생하고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 불가피성을 극복하기 위해 미국, 일본, 유럽 등지에서는 사면상부 암괴가 경사면을 따라 이동하는 현상에 대해서 현장시험과 이에 대한 컴퓨터 해석프로그램을 통하여 암괴 이동에 따른 운동에너지와 이동거리 등을 분석하고 있다. 그러나 국내의 연구는 기존의 프로그램을 활용하여 단편적인 낙석거동을 예측하는 데 그치고 있으며 국내 상황에 적합한 해석방법이나 매개변수의 결정에 대한 접근이 매우 제한적인 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 낙석의 거동 원리를 파악하고 다양한 매개변수의 영향을 평가하기 위해 낙석의 유형과 적용되는 인자를 정의하고 범용 낙석 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 매개변수의 영향을 분석하였다.

Vibration investigation of fluid-filled three layered cylindrical shells is studied here. A cylindrical shell is immersed in a fluid which is a non-viscous one. Shell motion equations are framed first order shell theory due to Love. These equations are partial differential equations which are usually solved by approximate technique. Robust and efficient techniques are favored to get precise results. Employment of the wave propagation approach procedure gives birth to the shell frequency equation. Use of acoustic wave equation is done to incorporate the sound pressure produced in a fluid. Hankel's functions of second kind designate the fluid influence. Mathematically the integral form of the Lagrange energy functional is converted into a set of three partial differential equations. It is also exhibited that the effect of frequencies is investigated by varying the different layers with constituent material. The coupled frequencies changes with these layers according to the material formation of fluid-filled FG-CSs. Throughout the computation, it is observed that the frequency behavior for the boundary conditions follow as; clamped-clamped (C-C), simply supported-simply supported (SS-SS) frequency curves are higher than that of clamped-simply (C-S) curves. Expressions for modal displacement functions, the three unknown functions are supposed in such way that the axial, circumferential and time variables are separated by the product method. Computer software MATLAB codes are used to solve the frequency equation for extracting vibrations of fluid-filled.

The objectives of this study were to compare visual observation and an electronic grazing time method and to evaluate the effects of nutritional plans on intake, grazing behavior and horizontal and vertical locomotion of young bulls in a tropical pasture. Thirty-nine Nellore young bulls with an average body weight of $345{\pm}9.3$ kg kept in pasture were used. The experimental treatments consisted of: restricted: animals kept in a plot with a low mass of forage receiving mineral mixture only; control: animals receiving mineral mixture only; HPHC: a high protein and high carbohydrate supplement; HPLC: a high protein and low carbohydrate supplement; LPHC: a low protein and high carbohydrate supplement; LPLC: a low protein and low carbohydrate supplement. GPS collars equipped with activity sensors were used. Information about head position, latitude, longitude and altitude were recorded. Daytime grazing behavioral patterns monitored by a continuous focal animal recording method was compared to behavior estimated by the activity sensor. Feed intake was estimated by a marker method. The Restricted group presented lower (p<0.05) intake of dry matter and TDN. However, difference in dry matter intake was not found (p>0.05) between non-supplemented and supplemented animals. Difference was not found (p>0.05) in daytime grazing time obtained by visual observation or the activity sensor method. The restricted group showed longer (p<0.05) grazing time (9.58 h/d) than other groups, but difference was not found (p>0.05) in the grazing time between Control (8.35 h/d) and supplemented animals (8.03 h/d). The Restricted group presented lower (p<0.05) horizontal locomotion distance (2,168 m/d) in comparison to other groups (2,580.6 m/d). It can be concluded that the use of activity sensor methods can be recommended due to their being similar to visual observation and able to record 24-h/d. While supplements with high carbohydrates reduce pasture intake, they do not change grazing behavior. Moderate supplementation (until 50% of protein requirement and 30% of energy requirement) of beef cattle on tropical pasture has no effect on daily locomotion.

This study was designed to examine fast food consumption, nutritional knowledge, food behavior and dietary intake of university students and to investigate if there were differences in these variables by fast food consumption. The questionnaire was administered to university students in Daejeon. Data(n=269) was analyzed using $x^2$-test and analysis of variance. Subjects were mostly female(62%) and freshmen or sophomores(86%). Based on the frequency of fast food consumption, subjects were categorized into non-users(27.9%), users(<2 times/week, 42%) and frequent users($\geq$2 times/week, 30.1%). Those who used fast foods(n=194) consumed the foods 7.5 times per month, on the average. Subjects scored 15.6 out of 20 on a nutritional knowledge scale, showing the moderate level of knowledge. When examined by fast food use, the nutritional knowledge score was 15.5 for non-users, 16.1 for users, and 15.0 for frequent-users(p<0.05). Only two items, regarding 'fat type(animal, plant) and health' and 'importance of having breakfast', were significantly different by fast food consumption, with user group and non-users scoring higher than frequent-users(p<0.05). Food behaviors, measured by 20 items, were not desirable, with mean scores of 51.5(possible score: 20-100). Subjects showed problems in eating meals regularly, eating a variety of foods, eating breakfast, and consumption of some food groups(vegetables, fruits, and proteins). Fast food non-users showed more desirable food behaviors than users or frequent-users, such as having processed foods (p<0.001) and eating-out less frequently(p<0.01). Dietary intake data showed that some nutrient intakes, including energy, calcium, iron, zinc and folic acid were less than 75% of the RDA. Index of nutritional quality(INQ) was adequate except for calcium and zinc. Compared to non-users or user group, frequent-users of fast foods consumed higher amounts of lipids(p<0.05), and had lower INQ for calcium(p<0.01). This study described the status of fast food consumption, nutritional knowledge, food behavior of university students, and provided some baseline data for planning nutrition education for university students.

복합재료를 사용하여 구조물의 패스너로 활용하는 사례가 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 패스너의 피로 거동에 따른 변형을 확인하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료 패스너로서 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료를 사용하여 클램프 형태의 패스너를 제조하고, 피로 거동 시 구조적 안정성과 전기저항 측정법을 이용한 구간별 손상률 평가를 실시하였다. 클램프형 복합재료 패스너는 평면 구간에서는 변형이 적었으나, 굴곡부에서는 피로 거동에 따라 변형이 크게 발생하였다. 각도 안정성이 부족한 경우 클램프의 손상이 굴곡부에 집중됨을 확인하였다. 동적 피로 거동에 따라 복합재료 패스너의 길이 변화율은 0.6% 이내였으나, 각도 변화율은 최대 6%까지 발생하여 굴곡부가 가장 중요하였다. 복합재료 패스너의 자체 감지 능력을 이용하여 전기저항 측정법을 통해 구간별 손상 거동을 평가하였다. 피로 거동에 따라 굴곡부의 손상이 두드러졌으며, 초기 패스너의 굴곡부가 90도 이하일 경우 큰 변형과 계면 손상이 발생함을 3D-CT 결과로 관측할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 복합재료 패스너를 개발할 때 굴곡부의 강성 보완과 체계적인 각도 기준 제시가 중요함을 확인하였다.

Modern society shows rapid growth that is different from that of the development of existing technologies. The development of these technologies has led to the tendency of buildings to become dense, large and advancing. Regarding fire hazards, the possibility of large-scale fires causing fatal damage, due to the rapid spread of fire, increases. Therefore, for this reason, fire defense, i.e. detection and fire extinguishing facilities, in buildings are essential and well applied. But there are always limitations to that. Based on this reason, we would like to suggest the introduction of a new concept of a fire safety system. The method presented here is not only to use a single system for fire detection and fire extinguishing systems but to jointly use it in the environment and energy management fields within the building. However, an important step is required before introducing a system of these technologies. The fire extinguishing method proposed by this system is a method of extinguishing by blocking oxygen flowing into the space where the fire occurred. However, a sufficient basis is needed for this system to be applied in practice. Therefore, in this study, we intend to conduct a preliminary experiment to introduce the new concept of fire detection and extinguishing. The experiment used ethanol with a relatively simple combustion reaction and a high possibility of complete combustion. As a result, it was confirmed how the internal values changed during a fire using ethanol. Resultingly, we obtained the internal oxygen concentration and internal environmental changes according to the initial flame size. Lastly, the data accumulated in this study can be used as data for application in an automatic fire extinguishing system.

The buckling-restrained braced frames with eccentric configurations (BRBFECs) are stable cyclic behavior and high energy absorption capacity. Furthermore, they have an architectural advantage for creating openings like eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). In the present study, it has been suggested to use the performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method to calculate the design base shear of the BRBFEC systems. Moreover, in this study, to reduce the required steel material, it has been suggested to use the performance-based practical design (PBPD) method instead of the force-based design (FBD) method for the design of this system. The 3-, 6-, and 9-story buildings with the BRBFEC system were designed, and the finite element models were modeled. The seismic performance of the models was investigated using two suits of ground motions representing the maximum considered earthquake (MCE) and design basis earthquake (DBE) seismic hazard levels. The results showed that the models designed with the suggested method, which had lower weights compared to those designed with the FBD method, had a desirable seismic performance in terms of maximum story drift and ductility demand under earthquakes at both MCE and DBE seismic hazard levels. This suggests that the steel weights of the structures designed with the PBPD method are about 13% to 18% lesser than the FBD method. However, the residual drifts in these models were higher than those in the models designed with the FBD method. Also, in earthquakes at the DBE hazard level, the residual drifts in all models except the PBPD-6s and PBPD-9s models were less than the allowable reparability limit.
