To study the influence on fracture properties of reinforced concrete wedge splitting test specimens by the addition of reinforcement, and the restriction of steel bars on crack propagation, 7 groups reinforced concrete specimens of different reinforcement position and 1 group plain concrete specimens with the same size factors were designed and constructed for the tests. Based on the double-K fracture criterion and tests, fracture toughness calculation model which was suitable for reinforced concrete wedge splitting tensile specimens has been obtained. The results show that: the value of initial craking load Pini and unstable fracture load Pun decreases gradually with the distance of reinforcement away from specimens's top. Compared with plain concrete specimens, addition of steel bar can reduce the value of initial fracture toughness KIini, but significantly increase the value of the critical effective crack length ac and unstable fracture toughness KIun. For tensional concrete member, the effect of anti-cracking by reinforcement was mainly acted after cracking, the best function of preventing fracture initiation was when the steel bar was placed in the middle of the crack, and when the reinforcement was across the crack and located away from crack tip, it plays the best role in inhibiting the extension of crack.

호안은 제방 및 저수로 하안을 강수와 유수에 의한 파괴와 침식작용에 대하여 직접 보호할 목적으로 설치하는 것이다. 최근에는 자연형.생태하천 등 하천의 친수성.경관.생태계의 보전.재생 등이 중요시 되면서 이런 기능을 가진 많은 호안공법들이 개발 및 시공되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 호안공법에 대한 홍수시의 수리적 안정성 검토 등의 기술적인 검토가 충분치 않은 실정이다. 따라서 호안공법이 적용된 호안에 대해 홍수시의 수리적 안정성에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 호안 조사결과 우리나라에서 가장 많은 시공사례가 있는 콘크리트 식생블록에 대해서 개수로 수리모형실험을 통하여 호안의 수리적 안정성을 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 모형은 실제 하천에 많이 적용되고 있는 H형 식생블록을 1/10 축소모형을 제작하여 사용하였다. 호안경사 1:2에 대해 식생이 없는 경우, 식생이 0.08m, 0.04m 간격으로 있는 경우에 대해 유량을 변화시키면서 식생밀도에 따른 유속 저감 및 소류력 저감 효과에 대한 수리적 안정성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 호안경사 및 식생밀도는 호안부에서 흐름의 에너지 및 유속을 감소시키며, 식생이 없는 호안에 비해 식생이 있는 호안에서는 식생밀도가 증가함에 따라 소류력이 최대 62.24%까지 감소하였다. 호안부에서의 식생의 발달은 유속 및 소류력을 감소시켜 호안부의 안정화에 크게 기여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Portland cement concrete, which has higher strength and stiffness than asphalt concrete, has been widely applied on pavements. However, the brittle fracture characteristic of cement concrete restricts its application in highway pavement construction. Since the polypropylene fiber can improve the fracture toughness of cement concrete, Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (PFRC) is attracting more and more attention in civil engineering. In order to study the effect of polypropylene fiber on the generation and evolution process of the local deformation band in concrete, a series of three-point bending tests were performed using the new technology of the digital speckle correlation method for FRC notched beams with different volumetric contents of polypropylene fiber. The modified Double-K model was utilized for the first time to calculate the stress intensity factors of instability and crack initiation of fiber-reinforced concrete beams. The results indicate that the polypropylene fiber can enhance the fracture toughness. Based on the modified Double-K fracture theory, the maximum fracture energy of concrete with 3.2% fiber (in volume) is 47 times higher than the plain concrete. No effort of fiber content on the strength of the concrete was found. Meanwhile to balance the strength and resistant fracture toughness, concrete with 1.6% fiber is recommended to be applied in pavement construction.

A bi-modal tram has been developed to offer an advanced transportation service compared with existing vehicles. The All-Wheel-Steering system is applied to the bi-modal tram to satisfy the required steering performance because the bi-modal tram has extended length and articulated mechanism. An ECU for the steering system is essential to steer wheels on 2nd and 3rd axles by the specific AWS algorithm with the prescribed driving condition. The Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation(HILS) system is planned for the purpose of evaluating the steering system of the bi-modal tram. There are kinematic links with the hydraulic actuator to steer wheels on each 2nd and 3rd axles and also same steering mechanism as the actual vehicle is in the HILS system. Controlling the movement of hydraulic actuator which reflects the lateral steering reaction force on each wheel is the key to realize the HILS system, but the reaction force is continuously changed according to various driving conditions. Therefore, the simulation through the multi-body dynamics model is used to obtain the required forces.

Through the hydraulic model test, a more convenient and accurate method of deter- mining discharge coefficients in the sluice type of tide gates can be derived by the use of aubmergence ratio as a parameter. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. Discharge coefficients under submerged flow conditions can be obtained by the application of sutmergerice ratio (S) to the free flow equation of the broad-erested we r. 2. The critical submergence ratios (Scr) for the flat basin and the broad-crested types of sill have the same value of 0.8. 3. Under free flow conditions, the discharge coefficient (m) are 0.37 and 0. 35 for the flat basin and the broad-crested types of sill respectively. However, when submerged flow condition exists, the discharge coefficients for both types of sill is given by a regression equation of discharge coefficients (IL) on submergence ratios (8) expressed as; m 1.3- 1. 17S. 4. The relationships between S and Froude number (Fr), for the flat basin and the broad-crested types of sill are Fr=2. 79-2.495 and Fr2.5=5. 7-6.16S respectively. From the above relationships, it can be concluded that m can also be expressed in terms of the Froude number which is a very relevant hydraulic parameter of the open channel hydraulics.

This work presents numerical results, using OpenFOAM, of the flow in the swirl flow generator test rig developed at Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania. The work shows results computed by solving the unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations. The unsteady method couples the rotating and stationary parts using a sliding grid interface based on a GGI formulation. Turbulence is modeled using the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model, and block structured wall function ICEM-Hexa meshes are used. The numerical results are validated against experimental LDV results, and against design velocity profiles. The investigation shows that OpenFOAM gives results that are comparable to the experimental and design profiles. The unsteady pressure fluctuations at four different positions in the draft tube is recorded. A Fourier analysis of the numerical results is compared whit that of the experimental values. The amplitude and frequency predicted by the numerical simulation are comparable to those given by the experimental results, though slightly over estimated.

The basic elements in a rotary-type scroll compressor are two identical spiral scrolls containing refrigerant gas. The pressure variations in the compression pockets of a scroll compressor change the forces acting on the orbiting scroll, and these forces affect the dynamic behavior of the compression mechanism parts. To achieve high efficiency, using a self-sealing mechanism as a tip seal mechanism is very effective. Tip seals, which are placed on top of the scroll wraps, accomplish thrust sealing. This study calculates the friction force between the tip seal and the side plate of a scroll compressor using the numerical model considered in the Reynolds equation. The calculated friction force is verified by an experiment using a pin-on-disk apparatus. A hydraulic servo valve that controls the pressure of the oil hydraulic cylinder applies the normal load for the test, and a DC servo motor controls the sliding velocity of the disk. The friction force and normal load are measured by the force sensors attached to the supporting parts. The results show that the theoretical and experimental results are similar and that the friction is influenced by the viscosity of the oil and the sliding velocity of the scroll.

The hydraulic power-take-off mechanism (HPTO) is one of the most popular methods in wave energy converters (WECs). However, the conventional HPTO with only one direction motion has a number of drawbacks that limit its power capture capability. This paper proposes an adjustable moving angle wave energy converter (AMAWEC) and investigates the effect of the moving angle on the performance of the wave energy converter to find the optimal moving angle in order to increase the power capture capability as well as energy efficiency. A mathematical model of components from a floating buoy to a hydraulic motor was modeled. A small scale WEC test rig was fabricated to verify the power capture capability and efficiency of the proposed system through experiments.
