HCCI엔진에는 농도성층화와 열적성층화가 존재하고, 이것들은 착화와 연소과정에 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 예혼합기의 불균질성이 HCCI연소과정에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 우선 4행정광학엔진을 이용하여 잔류가스가 있는 경우와 급속압축장치를 이용하여 잔류가스가 없는 경우의 예혼합기의 불균질성에 대하여 비교분석하였다. DME를 연료로 이용하고 프래밍카메라를 사용하여 2차원화학발광이미지를 취득하였다. 그 결과, 잔류가스가 있는 불균질 한 경우에 4행정엔진실험에서는 연소현상이 공간적으로 연소현상의 시간차이가 발생하였다. 잔류가스가 없는 급속압축장치의 실험에서는 4행정기관의 결과에 비해서 더 적은 공간적인 변화가 존재하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

To obtain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurement of membrane protein, an NMR magnet is required to generate high intensity, homogeneity, and stability of field. A High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnet is a promising alternative to a conventional Low-Temperature Superconducting (LTS) NMR magnet for high field, current density, and stability margin. Conventionally, an HTS coil has been wound by several winding techniques such as Single-Pancake (SP), Double-Pancake (DP), and layer-wound. The DP winding technique has been frequently used for a large magnet because long HTS wire is generally difficult to manufacture, and maintenance of magnet is convenient. However, magnetic field generated by the slanted turns and the splice leads to field inhomogeneity in Diameter of Spherical Volume (DSV). The field inhomogeneity degrades performance of NMR spectrometer and thus effect of the slanted turns and the splice should be analyzed. In this paper, field gradient of HTS double-pancake coils considering the slanted turns and the splice was calculated using Biot-Savart law and numerical integration. The calculation results showed that magnetic field produced by the slanted turns and the splice caused significant inhomogeneity of field.

본 논문은 초음파 의용 영상에서 인체내의 매질의 초음파 속도의 불균일에 의한 focusing의 저하에 대하여 논하였다. simulation환경으로, 인체 내의 매질 중 속도 값이 가장 큰 차이가 나는 지방(fat)을 일정한 두께로 모델링하였다. 그리고 초음파 빔의 굴절에 의한 진행경로의 변화와 속도차이에 따른 시간지연에 의한 해상도 저하를 구하였다. 그리고 이를 보상하는 방법으로, 보상에 계산량이 많이 필요한 굴절을 무시하고, 속도차에 의한 시간지연만 보상하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 적용할 경우 현재의 실시간 디지털 focusing 시스템에서 쉽게 구현 가능하다.

A velocity inhomogeneity, which is defined as a regional preponderence of either radial or tangential orbits, is searched with a new technique for the Coma cluster of galaxies. It is found within $\~2h^{-1}$ Mpc from the cluster center that the Coma shows conspicuous inhomogeneities in velocity and that the inhomogeneities are real at a $99\%$ level of confidence. Even in the central region (7' - 30' from the center), zones that are dominated by radial and tangential orbits are distinguishable. Defining the cluster's 'equator' as the direction defined by the Coma-A1367 supercluster, tangential orbits dominate the 'polar' zones in the central region. Galaxies that are located in 30'-100' also inhomogeneous in velocity in that the 'polar' zones are mostly radial while the rest is nearly homogeneous. These results indicate that the Coma galaxies are exceedingly more radial in orbit, implying that merging or infalls are either still going on or an earlier virialization is likely to have occurred preferentially near the 'equator'. Incorporating the velocity inhomogeneity into mass estimators, the most appropriate mass is turned out to be $0.4\times10^{15}h^{-1}M_\bigodot(R\;\leq\;0.6h^{-1} Mpc),\;and\;1.0\times10^{15}h^{-1} M_\bigodot(R\;\leq\;2.1h^{-1}Mpc)$. The corresponding mass to blue light ratio on the average is $\~$300h. These estimates are consistent with Merritt (1987) and Hughes (1989) and the MILE is seemed to favour the mass-follows-light models than the uniform spread of dark matter throughout the cluster.

A velocity inhomogeneity, which is the regional preponderence of either radial or tangential orbits, is searched with the new technique proposed by Kim (1992) for Coma, Hydra I, and Abell 2256 cluster of galaxies. Conspicuous inhomogeneities are found in the Coma and A2256 which X-ray isophotes are indicative for their underlying potentials being ellipitcal in shape, Even in their central regions, zones that are dominated by radial orbits are clearly distinguishable from that of the tangential orbits, and defining the cluster 'equator' as the direction of maximum elongation of the X-ray isophotes, radial orbits dominate along this direction whereas tangential orbits dominate the 'polar' zones. Merger events that are evidenced in X-ray observations occur in the equatorial zones of Coma and A2256, suggesting preponderence of radial orbits in the zones, which is in good agreement with their velocity structures. On the other hand, the inhomogeneity in Hydra I turns out to be insignificant in the central regions and this is just what is expected from a cluster whose X-ray isophotes is nearly circular. The velocity distribution in regions further out, however, shows significant inhomogeneity and this seems to support the previous results that this cluster is likely to have substructures and velocity anisotropy.

A truck refrigeration system using phase change material (PCM) is expected to have a lower noise level, reduced energy cost, and much lower local greenhouse gas emission. Recently, a forced convection type PCM refrigeration module has been developed. As the operation time increases, the PCM around the air inlet melts, because of a large temperature difference between the PCM and air. Therefore, the latent heat transfer area decreases and the heat transfer rate of the module decreases even though there is a lot of PCM which does not melt around the air outlet. A computational fluid dynamic modeling of the PCM refrigeration module was developed and validated by the experiment. Using the CFD, the design parameters, such as the mass flow rate of the air and roughness of the slab, were investigated to improve the heat transfer inhomogeneity. As a result, the adoption of partial roughness on the slabs improved the heat transfer inhomogeneity and reduced a fan power.

The paper aims to analyze the behaviour of torsional type surface waves propagating through fluid saturated inhomogeneous porous media clamped between two inhomogeneous anisotropic media. We considered three types of inhomogeneities in upper anisotropic layer which varies exponentially, quadratically and hyperbolically with depth. The anisotropic half space inhomogeneity varies linearly with depth and intermediate layer is taken as inhomogeneous fluid saturated porous media with sinusoidal variation. Following Biot, the dispersion equation has been derived in a closed form which contains Whittaker's function and its derivative, for approximate result that have been expanded asymptotically up to second term. Possible particular cases have been established which are in perfect agreement with standard results and observe that when one of the upper layer vanishes and other layer is homogeneous isotropic over a homogeneous half space, the velocity of torsional type surface waves coincides with that of classical Love type wave. Comparative study has been made to identify the effects of various dimensionless parameters viz. inhomogeneity parameters, anisotropy parameters, porosity parameter, and initial stress parameters on the torsional wave propagation by means of graphs using MATLAB. The study has its own relevance in connection with the propagation of seismic waves in the earth where fluid saturated poroelastic layer is present.

Longitudinal fracture behavior of non-linear elastic beam configurations is studied in terms of the strain energy release rate. It is assumed that the beams exhibit continuous material inhomogeneity along the width as well as along the height of the crosssection. The Ramberg-Osgood stress-strain relation is used for describing the non-linear mechanical behavior of the inhomogeneous material. A solution to strain energy release rate is derived that holds for inhomogeneous beams of arbitrary cross-section under combination of axial force and bending moments. Besides, the solution may be applied at any law of continuous distribution of the modulus of elasticity in the beam cross-section. The longitudinal crack may be located arbitrary along the beam height. The solution is used to investigate a longitudinal crack in a beam configuration of rectangular cross-section under four-point bending. The crack is located symmetrically with respect to the beam mid-span. It is assumed that the modulus of elasticity varies continuously according a cosine law in the beam cross-section. The longitudinal fracture behavior of the inhomogeneous beam is studied also by applying the J-integral approach for verification of the non-linear solution to the strain energy release rate derived in the present paper. Effects of material inhomogeneity, crack location along the beam height and non-linear mechanical behavior of the material on the longitudinal fracture behavior are evaluated. Thus, the solution derived in the present paper can be used in engineering design of inhomogeneous non-linear elastic structural members to assess the influence of various material and geometrical parameters on longitudinal fracture.

The purpose of this paper is to present the analysis of propagating and evanescent waves in functionally graded (FG) nanoplates with the consideration of nonlocal effect. The analytical integration nonlocal stress expansion Legendre polynomial method is proposed to obtain complete dispersion curves in the complex domain. Unlike the traditional Legendre polynomial method that expanded the displacement, the presented polynomial method avoids employing the relationship between local stress and nonlocal stress to construct boundary conditions. In addition, the analytical expressions of numerical integrations are presented to improve the computational efficiency. The nonlocal effect, inhomogeneity of medium and their interactions on wave propagation are studied. It is found that the nonlocal effect and inhomogeneity of medium reduce the frequency bandwidth of complex evanescent Lamb waves, and make complex evanescent Lamb waves have a higher phase velocity at low attenuation. The occurrence of intersections of propagating Lamb wave in the nonlocal homogeneous plate needs to satisfy a smaller Poisson's ratio condition than that in the classical elastic theory. In addition, the inhomogeneity of medium enhances the nonlocal effect. The conclusions obtained can be applied to the design and dynamic response evaluation of composite nanostructures.

서론 : 폐암환자의 방사선치료계획 시 불균질 조직 보정(inhomogeneity correction)을 평가하기 위해 폐(lung), (bone) 그리고 뼈를 고정시키기 위해 사용하는 고밀도 물질인 steel 등을 포함한 불균질 조직 보정 팬텀(inhomogeneity correction phantom, ICP)을 자체 제작하였다. 이를 이용하여 방사선치료계획시스템에서 불균질조직 보정 알고리듬에 따른 값들을 비교하고, 또한 실제 측정된 값과 비교, 분석하여 불균질 조직에 따른 선량계산 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 영상획득은 전산화단층촬영영상장치(CT, Volume zoom, Germany)와 자체 제작한 불균질 조직 보정팬텀(ICP, pig's vertebra, steel(8.21 g/cm3), cork(0.23 g/cm3))을 사용하였다. 방사선치료계획시스템으로는 Marks Plan(2D)과 XiO(CMS, USA, 3D)를 사용하였고, 측정값과의 비교를 위해서는 선형가속기(CL/1800, Varian, USA)와 이온전리함을 사용하였다. 전산화단층촬영영상장치로부터 획득한 영상을 이용하여 방사선치료계획장치에서 관심점(interest point, IP)에서의 점선량(point dose)과 선량분포를 얻고, 이와 동일한 조건에서 측정을 수행한 후 비교, 분석하였다. 그리고 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬 사용 유무에 따른 차이와 방사선치료계획장치가 가지고 있는 다양한 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬 간의 차이도 비교하였다. 결 과 : 불균질 조직 보정 팬텀 내 관심지점에 대한 측정치와 방사선치료계획장치에서 얻은 균질과 불균질 보정된 값을 비교한 결과 폐 제1지점에서의 측정치와 불균질 보정값의 오차는 2D에서 $0.8\%$, 3D에서 $0.5\%$, 스틸 제1지점에서의 측정치와 불균질 보정값의 오차는 2D에서 $12\%$, 3D에서 $5\%$의 오차를 보이나 보정을 하지 않은 값과 측정치의 오차는 각각 $16\%,\;14\%$의 오차가 나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 2D에서 보다는 3D에서의 값들이 오차가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 방사선치료계획 시 조직 내 밀도에 따른 보정이 반드시 이루어져야 하며 보다 정확한 치료계획을 위해서는 2차원 방사선치료계획용 시스템보다는 3차원 방사선치료계획용 시스템을 사용하는 것이 정확한 보정이 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬 간에도 차이가 있어 실제 측정을 통해 가장 적합한 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬을 선택하는 것이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 향후 열형광선량계와 필름 선량계를 통한 비교, 분석이 추가적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
