  • The initiation of toppling is explored for a uniform stack of blocks that rotates slowly about its mid-base. As the stack passes through its vertical position ($\theta$=0), it is in free-fall rotation, and a critical inclination angle ${\theta}_c$ is reached at which the toppling stack "fails" or begins to crack or separate. For tall stacks (high aspect ratios), two modes of failure are hypothesized, for which the dynamic failure analyses are shown to correlate with experimental results. These block failure modes are similar to those observed for tall, toppling masonry structures with weak binding material between their brick or stone blocks.

  • This paper presented the development of a new experimental and numerical technique for the investigation of slamming impact. The in-house code was developed, based on the boundary element method. The application of commercial code was attempted using FLUENT. Pneumatic cylinder and LM-guide were introduced to closely simulate the free fall phenomenon. It was demonstrated that the proposed experimental and numerical studies can be useful tools in investigating slamming phenomenon.

  • Flash is the most popular 2D animation and game development software, supporting vector and media technology at the core, which enables the development of small and pithy games. It is widely used in Web animation, courseware, TV commercials, game development, and other works of design. In this paper, we propose a control movement function and auxiliary functions for an alpine skiing game based on ActionScript 3.0. The control movement function is designed with moving phases (i.e., free fall, sliding, projectile, and landing). The auxiliary functions include drawing path, start/restart movement, and saving the highest score. In addition, for the visual design of our game, we designed animations in connection with a character and background. In order to facilitate testing the friction, users can input a chosen friction value. Without user input, the friction default is set at 0.97.

  • This study was intended to analyze the wearing practices and the subjective fabrics preferences for men's dress shirts. It was performed by means of convenience sampling survey of male office workers wearing dress shirts who were living in Seoul, Geonggi, and Chungcheong area. Collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, t-test, and ANOVA using SPSS. The results were as follows: Most of the male office workers owned 5 dress shirts, and blue color dress shirts were preferred to white one. It was shown that most of the respondents wore dress shirts at the office almost every day with necktie. The preferred sensations of the dress shirt fabrics were the soft, wrinkle-free, smooth and dry ones. There were partially significant differences according to gender and age of male office workers in the wearing practices and subjective fabrics preferences of dress shirts.

  • The Ν-value in the standard penetration test(SPT) is affected by the magnitude of the rod penetration energy transmitted from the falling hammer as well as the geotechnical characteristics of the ground. Understanding of the striking energy efficiency in the SPT equipment is getting important for that reason. The energy efficiencies of the doughnut hammer with the hydraulic lift system and the automatic trip hammer system were investigated through field tests using the instrumented rod and wave-signal acquisition systems including the pile driving analyzer(PDA) . The rod energy ratio, ΕR$\_$r/ was defined as the ratio of the energy delivered to the drilling rod to the potential free-fall energy of the hammer. It appears that the type of the hammer and lift/drop system had a strong influence on the energy transfer mechanism and ΕR$\_$r/ also varies according to the energy instrumentation system and the analysis methods.

  • 미생물 고정화를 위하여 PU 폼을 세 가지 처리 방법으로 처리하였다. 플라즈마 처리, 플라즈마 유도 그라프팅, 플라즈마 유도 그라프팅 후 플라즈마로 재처리 방법을 사용하였다. 플라즈마 처리는 bacteria adhesion에 큰 효과를 주지 못하였고, 아크릴산의 플라즈마 유도 그라프팅은 adhesion을 세 배 이상 증가시켰다. Bacteria의 adhesion 성능 향상은 표면의 친수성을 증가시키고 새로운 groove나 cavity들을 형성시킴으로 가능하였다. 반면, 그라프팅 후 plasma re-treatment는 미생물 고정화를 크게 향상시키지 못하였다. SEM 관찰을 통하여 대부분의 E.coli.는 groove나 cavities라는 shear-free area에 서식함을 알 수 있었다. PU폼의 bacteria adhesion은 미생물과 고분자 표면 사이의 정전기적 인력이나 van der Waals 인 력에 의해 주로 영향을 받는다고 사료된다.

  • With the increasing use of tower cranes higher than free standing height, the importance of lateral support is also growing. Since the fall of 43 tower cranes hit by the last typhoon 'Mami' in 2003, regulations and concerns about safety of construction equipment have increased and construction laws regarding lateral support have been strengthened. In Korea, where there are many large-scale apartment housing construction works with the development of new towns, Rope Guying is a more economical construction method than Wall Brace which fixes building structure like building wall and slab. The safety of this Rope Guying is not verified and many construction works are still carried out based on the experience of site managers. There has been no case of construction work where frame and measurements are applied. The objective of this study is to examine the safety of Rope Guying method and ensure the effective implementation of equipment and prevention of disasters.

  • 본 연구에서는 압출성형에서 Nylon6 를 기재로 멜라민계 난연제를 사용하여 난연성 및 물성평가를 비교, 분석하였다. 멜라민계 난연제를 선택한 이유는 탈할로겐화 추세에 일조를 하며 연기가 적고, 생분해를 하는 물질이기 때문에 큰 장점이 있다. 또한 새로운 제품 및 적용범위를 발굴하기가 상대적으로 용이하다는 장점이 있기 때문에 멜라민계 난연제를 선택하였다. 난연 Test는 UL-94 측정방법을 이용하였고 물성평가는 UTM 측정기기로 인장강도, 연신율, 굴곡강도, 굴곡탄성율 측정하였다. 또 충격강도 시험기로 충격강도를 측정하였고, 물성평가 경우에는 난연제로 인한 물성저하를 최소화 하기위해 Nano-clay 를 첨가하여 비교하였다. 연구결과는 난연 Test 경우 난연제의 함량이 $5wt\%$ 이상이면 V0급으로 나왔고 물성평가에서는 Nanoclay를 첨가한 실험이 물성저하를 대처할 수 있을 정도의 결과로 보여 진다.
