Cracking of concrete cover induced by reinforcement corrosion is a critical issue for life-cycle design and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures. However, the critical degree of corrosion, based on when the concrete surface cracks, is usually hard to predict accurately due to the heterogeneity inherent in concrete. To investigate the influence of concrete heterogeneity, a modified rigid-body-spring model, which could generate concrete sections with randomly distributed coarse aggregates, has been developed to study the corrosion-induced cracking process of the concrete cover and the corresponding critical degree of corrosion. In this model, concrete is assumed to be a three-phase composite composed of coarse aggregate, mortar and an interfacial transition zone (ITZ), and the uniform corrosion of a steel bar is simulated by applying uniform radial displacement. Once the relationship between radial displacement and degree of corrosion is derived, the critical degree of corrosion can be obtained. The mesoscale model demonstrated its validity as it predicted the critical degree of corrosion and cracking patterns in good agreement with analytical solutions and experimental results. The model demonstrates how the random distribution of coarse aggregate results in a variation of critical degrees of corrosion, which follows a normal distribution. A parametric study was conducted, which indicates that both the mean and variation of critical degree of corrosion increased with the increase of concrete cover thickness, coarse aggregates volume fraction and decrease of coarse aggregate size. In addition, as tensile strength of concrete increased, the average critical degree of corrosion increased while its variation almost remained unchanged.

When galaxy clusters interact, the intergalactic gas collides, forming shocks that are characterized by a low sonic Mach number (~3) but a comparatively high Alfvenic Mach number (~30). Such shocks behave differently from the more common astrophysical shocks, which tend to have higher sonic Mach numbers. We wish to determine whether these shocks, despite their low sonic Mach number, are capable of accelerating particles and thereby contributing to the cosmic ray spectrum. Using the PIC-MHD method, which separates the gas into a thermal and a non-thermal component to increase computational efficiency, and relying on existing PIC simulations to determine the rate at which non-thermal particles are injected in the shock, we investigate the evolution of galaxy cluster shocks and their ability to accelerate particles. Depending on the chosen injection fraction of non-thermal particles into the shock, we find that even low-Mach shocks are capable of accelerating particles. However, the interaction between supra-thermal particles and the local magnetic field triggers instabilities and turbulence in the magnetic field. This causes the shock to weaken, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of the supra-thermal particle injection. We investigate how this influences the shock evolution by reducing the particle injection rate and energy and find that a reduction of the particle injection fraction at this stage causes an immediate reduction of both upstream and downstream instabilities. This inhibits particle acceleration. Over time, as the instabilities fade, the shock surface straightens, allowing the shock to recover. Eventually, we would expect this to increase the efficiency of the particle injection and acceleration to previous levels, starting the same series of events in an ongoing cycle of increasing and decreasing particle acceleration.

식물 RNA 바이러스는 전세계적으로 작물 생산량에 큰 손실을 일으키는 주요 병원체 중 하나로, RNA 바이러스가 갖는 특징인 짧은 복제 주기, 게놈 복제 중의 높은 변이 발생률 등으로 인해 높은 유전적 다양성과 적응성을 가지며 진화해 왔다. 식물 RNA 바이러스는 유전적 다양성을 갖는 유사종 군집으로 존재하며, 환경 변화에 따른 선택압으로 새로운 적합성을 갖는 군집으로의 변천이 빠르게 일어날 수 있다. 식물의 저항성은 일종의 선택압으로 작용하여 바이러스의 적합성에 영향을 미치며, 이는 기주의 저항성을 극복하는 변이 바이러스의 출현으로 이어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 식물 RNA 바이러스에 대한 진화적 관점 및 진화의 원동력을 소개하고, 이를 바탕으로 식물 저항성을 극복하는 변이 바이러스의 출현 기작을 다루고자 한다. 또한 바이러스병에 대한 저항성 전개 및 내구성 향상을 위한 전략에 대해 논하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 클러스터 적응주기모델을 토대로 미국 수도권지역에 위치한 페어팩스 카운티 IT서비스산업의 진화경로를 탐색하는 것이다. 1970년대부터 현재까지 지역 IT서비스산업에 대한 문헌, 업체 및 고용수, 인터뷰자료를 이용하여 시기별 특성을 분석하였고, 1990~2011년 기간 동안 지역산업의 성장요인을 알기 위해 변이할당분석을 시행하였다. 적응주기모델에 따르면 페어팩스 카운티의 IT서비스산업은 클러스터 변화지속형 궤적을 보이고 있음을 알 수 있다. 지역산업은 국방성과의 지리적 근접성, 수도권이라는 지역적 특수성으로 인해 정부정책의 영향을 많이 받아왔다. 2000년대 후반 경기침체에도 불구하고, 지역 회복력이 높아 끊임없이 변모하는 클러스터 유형을 보이는 데에는 정부의 안정적인 수요와 기업의 역량강화, 지원부문과 기업 등 행위주체의 긴밀한 연계로 인해 충격으로부터 회복력이 높았다는 점과 지식기반서비스업이 정책변화나 경제, 산업기술적환경의 변화에 보다 유연적으로 적응하였기 때문이라고 판단된다.

To simulate the self excited torsional vibrations of rotating drill strings (DSs) in vertical bore-holes, the nonlinear wave models of homogeneous and sectional torsional pendulums are formulated. The stated problem is shown to be of singularly perturbed type because the coefficient appearing before the second derivative of the constitutive nonlinear differential equation is small. The diapasons ${\omega}_b\leq{\omega}\leq{\omega}_l$ of angular velocity ${\omega}$ of the DS rotation are found, where the torsional auto-oscillations (of limit cycles) of the DS bit are generated. The variation of the limit cycle states, i.e. birth (${\omega}={\omega}_b$), evolution (${\omega}_b<{\omega}<{\omega}_l$) and loss (${\omega}={\omega}_l$), with the increase in angular velocity ${\omega}$ is analyzed. It is observed that firstly, at birth state of bifurcation of the limit cycle, the auto-oscillation generated proceeds in the regime of fast and slow motions (multiscale motion) with very small amplitude and it has a relaxation mode with nearly discontinuous angular velocities of elastic twisting. The vibration amplitude increases as ${\omega}$ increases, and then it decreases as ${\omega}$ approaches ${\omega}_l$. Sectional drill strings are also considered, and the conditions of the solution at the point of the upper and lower section joints are deduced. Besides, the peculiarities of the auto-oscillations of the sectional DSs are discussed.

On the study of the characteristics and life cycle of mesoscale convective band in type of airmass that occurred in the Honam area from June to September for only 4 years in the period of 2009~2012, 10 examples based on the amount of rainfall with AWS 24 hours/60 minutes rainfalls, Mt. Osung radar 1.5 km CAPPI/X-SECT images and KLAPS data for convective band with heavy rainfall event were selected. There were analyzed and classified by using the convective band with heavy rainfall occurred along the convergence line of sea wind in the form of individual multi-cellular cell and moving direction of convective band appeared in a variety of patterns; toward southwestern (2 cases), northeastern (4 cases), congesting (2 cases), and changing its moving direction (2 cases). The case study dated of the 17th Aug. 2012 was chosen and implemented by sequentially different evolution of its shape along the convergence line of sea wind cell and moving direction of convective band as equivalent potential temperatures at the lower layer have increased to the upper layer 500 hPa, that the individual cells were developed vertically and horizontally through their merger, but owing to divergence caused by weakened rainfall and descending air current, the growth of new cell was inhibited resulting in dissipation of convective cells.

Direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent plane Couette-Poiseuille flow with a two-dimensional (2-D) rod-roughened wall is performed to investigate the impacts of the surface roughness. It is shown that the logarithmic region in the mean velocity profile over the rough wall Couette-Poiseuille flow is significantly shortened by the surface roughness compared to that over a turbulent Couette-Poiseuille flow with smooth wall. The Reynolds shear stress over the rough wall Couette-Poiseuille flow is decreased compared to that for a smooth case in the outer layer. These results are attributed to weakened turbulence activity or roll-cell mode over the rough wall Couette-Poiseuille flow near the channel centerline due to suppressed development of u'-structure on the top wall, as documented through spanwise energy spectra of the streamwise velocity fluctuations. Inspection of congregation motion near the bottom wall and time evolution of u'-structure reveal weakened co-supporting cycle for the rough wall case.

The purpose of this work is to predict ductile fracture of structural steel under extremely low cyclic loading experienced in earthquake. A cumulative damage model is proposed on the basis of an existing damage model originally aiming to predict fracture under monotonic loading. The cumulative damage model assumes that damage does not grow when stress triaxiality is below a threshold and fracture occurs when accumulated damage reach unit. The model was implemented in ABAQUS software. The cumulative damage model parameters for steel base metal, weld metal and heat affected zone were calibrated, respectively, through testing and finite element analyses of notched coupon specimens. The damage evolution law in the notched coupon specimens under different loads was compared. Finally, in order to examine the engineering applicability of the proposed model, the fracture performance of beam-column welded joints reported by previous researches was analyzed based on the cumulative damage model. The analysis results show that the cumulative damage model is able to successfully predict the cracking location, fracture process, the crack initiation life, and the total fatigue life of the joints.

Spinning detonations propagating in a circular tube were numerically investigated with a one-step irreversible reaction model governed by Arrhenius kinetics. The time evolution of the simulation results was utilized to reveal the propagation mechanism of single-headed spinning detonation. The track angle of soot record on the tube wall was numerically reproduced with various levels of activation energy, and the simulated unique angle was the same as that of the previous reports. The maximum pressure histories of the shock front on the tube wall showed stable and unstable pitch modes for the lower and higher activation energies, respectively. The shock front shapes and the pressure profiles on the tube wall clarified the mechanisms of two modes. The maximum pressure history in the stable pitch remained nearly constant, and the single Mach leg existing on the shock front rotated at a constant speed. The high and low frequency pressure oscillations appeared in the unstable pitch due to the generation and decay of complex Mach interaction on the shock front shape. The high frequency oscillation was self-induced because the intensity of the transverse wave was changed during propagation in one cycle. The high frequency behavior was not always the same for each cycle, and therefore the low frequency oscillation was also induced in the pressure history.

단양-영월-정선지역 옥천습곡단층대에서 북동-남서 방향의 충상단층대를 따라 분포하는 중생대 반송층군은 페름기-트라이아스기 송림조산운동 혹은 쥐라기 대보조산운동의 기록을 간직하고 있기 때문에 한반도 중생대 조산윤회와 지구조진화를 설명하는 데 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 논평에서는 반송층군의 층서, 퇴적시기, 그리고 분지발달사에 관한 그간 연구를 종합하고 향후 연구방향을 제시하고자 한다. 한반도 남부의 중생대 지구조진화 과정에서 반송층군이 가지는 의미에 대한 시각은 크게 두 가지로 나뉜다. 전통적인 견해는 송림조산운동 후기 혹은 종료 후에 (횡)인장 분지에 반송층군이 퇴적된 후 대보조산운동에 의해 변형이 발생한 것으로 간주한다. 이러한 해석은 단양탄전지역을 중심으로 획득한 층서 및 고생물자료와 구조지질연구 결과에 근거한다. 반면 근래 연구 결과로서 반송층군을 대보조산운동과 관련된 조산동시성 퇴적작용의 산물로 보는 해석이 존재한다. 이러한 대안적 시각은 영월지역 일대에 분포하는 화산쇄설암에 대한 U-Pb 절대연령과 해당 지역의 구조지질학적 해석 결과를 바탕으로 한다. 하지만 두 모델 모두 반송층군으로 분류된 퇴적층에서 도출된 고생물자료와 절대연령자료를 종합적으로 설명하지 못한다. 이는 퇴적학, 구조지질학, 지질연대학, 암석학, 지화학 연구를 통해 획득한 다학제적 자료를 종합한 새로운 분지 진화 모델이 필요하다는 점을 시사한다.
