The elastic modulus of a 3D-printed Kelvin foam plate is investigated by measuring the acoustic wave velocity of 1 MHz ultrasound. An isotropic tetrakaidecahedron foam with 3 mm unit cell is designed and printed layer upon layer to fabricate a Kelvin foam plate of 14 mm thickness with a 3D CAD/printer using ABS plastic. The Kelvin foam plate is completely filled with paraffin wax for impedance matching, so that the acoustic wave may propagate through the porous foam plate. The acoustic wave velocity of the foam plate is measured using the time-of-flight (TOF) method and is used to calculate the elastic modulus of the Kelvin foam plate based on acousto-elasticity. Finite element method (FEM) and micromechanics is applied to the Kelvin foam plate to calculate the theoretical elastic modulus using a non-isotropic tetrakaidecahedron model. The predicted elastic modulus of the Kelvin foam plate from FEM and micromechanics model is similar, which is only 3-4% of the bulk material. The experimental value of the elastic modulus from the ultrasonic method is approximately twice as that of the numerical and theoretical methods because of the flexural deformation of the cell edges neglected in the ultrasonic method.

In this paper, the effect of porosity on the acoustic phase velocity of the 3D printed Kelvin closed-cell structure was investigated using the spectral phase analysis. Since Kelvin cells bring about the large amount of scattering, acoustic pulses in ultrasonic measurements undergoes a distortion of waveforms due to the dispersion effect. In order to take account on the dispersion, mathematical expressions for calculating the phase velocity of longitudinal waves propagating normal to the plane of the Kelvin structure are suggested by introducing a complex wave number based on Fourier transform. 3D Kelvin structure composed of identical unit-cells, a polyhedron of 14 faces with 6 quadrilateral and 8 hexagonal faces, was developed and fabricated by 3D CAD and 3D printer to represent the micro-structure of porous materials such as aluminum foam and cancellous bone. Total nine samples of 3D Kelvin structure with different porosity were made by changing the thickness of polyhedron. Ultrasonic pulse of 1MHz center frequency was applied to the Kelvin structures for the measurement of the phase velocity of ultrasound using the TOF(time-of-flight) and the phase spectral method. From the experimental results, it was found that the acoustic phase velocity decreased linearly with the porosity.

Sub-Kelvin cooling has been generally demanded for the fields of low temperature physics, such as physical property measurements, astronomical detection, and quantum computing. The refrigeration system with a small size can be appropriately introduced when the measurement system does not require a high cooling capacity at sub-Kelvin temperature. The dilution refrigerator which is a common method to reach sub-Kelvin, however, must possess a large ³He circulation equipment at room temperature. As alternatives, a sorption refrigerator and a magnetic refrigerator can be adopted for sub-Kelvin cooling. This paper describes those coolers which have been developed by various research groups. Furthermore, a cold-cycle dilution refrigerator of which the size of the ³He circulation system is minimized, is also introduced. Subsequently, a new concept of dilution refrigerator is proposed by our group. The suggested cooler can achieve sub-Kelvin temperature with a small size since it does not require any recuperator and turbo-molecular vacuum pump. Its architecture allows the compact configuration to reach sub-Kelvin temperature by integrating the sorption pump and the magnetic refrigerators. Therefore, it may be suitably utilized in the low temperature experiments requiring low cooling capacity.

Kelvin equation is revisited, which accounts for important phenomena observed frequently in nano-dispersion systems. They include vapor pressure increase for curved interfaces, nucleation, capillary condensation, Ostwald ripening and so on. The smaller the radius of curvature is, the more significant Kelvin equation becomes. Therefore, its meaning, curvature effect, and importance are examined and discussed.

This research deals with the study of the orthotropic vibrational features of single-walled carbon nanotubes according to Kelvin's model and to check the accuracy of the models, the results have been compared with earlier modeling/simulations. Obtaining rough approximations of the natural frequencies of CNTs using continuum equations are still a common procedure, even at high harmonics. The effects of different physical and material parameters on the fundamental frequencies are investigated for zigzag and chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes invoking Kelvin's theory. By using nonlocal Kelvin's model, the fundamental natural frequency spectra for two forms of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been calculated. The influence of frequencies with nonlocal parameters and bending rigidity are investigated in detail for these tubes. Computer software MATLAB is utilized for the frequencies of SWCNTs and current results shows a good stability with comparison of other studies.

Calm water wave resistance plays a very important role in ship hull design. Numerical methods are meaningful for this reason. In this study, two prevailing methods, the Neumann-Kelvin and the Rankine source method, were implemented and compared. The Neumann-Kelvin method assumes linearized free surface boundary condition and only needs to mesh the hull surface. The Rankine source method considers nonlinear free surface boundary condition and meshes both the ship hull surface and free surface. Both methods were implemented and the wave resistance of a Wigley III and three Series 60(Cb=0.6, 0.7, 0.8) hulls were analyzed. The results were compared with experimental results and the merits of both numerical techniques were quantified. Based on the results, it is concluded that the Rankine source method is more accurate in the calculation of the wave-making resistance. Using the Neumann-Kelvin method, it is found to be easier to model the hull and can be used for slender ships to solve problems like wave current coupling calculation.

Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations have been performed to investigate an effect of numerical region with high resolution for Kelvin wave around KRISO container ship on its resistance. In the present study, 13 millions cells were used to describe wave profile along the ship hull and Kelvin wave patterns. In order to control a size of numerical region with high resolution for waves around the hull, we employed relaxation zones from a side boundary of numerical domain in which Kelvin wave was suppressed. When the far-field Kelvin wave was not precisely resolved due to the relaxation zone, the instantaneous history of ship resistance was affected although the time average of ship resistance showed -1.15~2.1 % errors. Especially, the damping characteristics of ship resistance in time history was significant when using a large relaxation zone in the side boundary.

가벼운 다공성 구조재로서 널리 사용되는 캘빈 폼(foam) 재료의 탄성특성을 초음파를 이용하여 조사하였다. 캘빈 폼의 구조는 tetrakaidecahedron의 단위 셀(unit cell)이 규칙적으로 3차원 배열된 구조를 갖고 있는데 본 연구에서는 SoildWorks 프로그램에서 캘빈 단위 셀을 설계하고 ABS 플라스틱 재료를 이용하여 3차원 프린터로 제작한 후 초음파시험을 수행하였다. 캘빈 구조체는 기공이 많은 재료이기 때문에 초음파가 투과할 수 없어서 빈 공간을 모두 파라핀 왁스로 충진하여 초음파가 투과할 수 있도록 하였다. 파라핀을 충진한 캘빈 구조체는 초음파의 비행시간(TOF)을 이용하여 초음파 속도를 계산한 후, 이 복합 구조체에 대한 탄성 구조 모델을 기반으로 캘빈 구조체만의 탄성계수를 계산하였다. 측정된 캘빈 구조체의 탄성계수 값은 모재(ABS 플라스틱) 탄성계수의 약 3.4%가 되는 것으로 나타났는데 이 평가 결과는 선행된 연구 결과들에서 나타난 실험값이나 이론 해석 결과와 잘 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

동절기에 암반의 절리면 내의 지하수의 동결 시 부피팽창으로 인해 절리면내 응력이 증가할 것이며, 융해 시 부피감소로 인해 응력이 감소되어 원상태로 회복된다. 동결융해과정이 지속적으로 반복되면서 발생되는 응력이력현상으로 인해 암반사면 내의 피로현상이 누적되면서 암반사면 절리면 내 누적 변위가 증가할 뿐만 아니라 전단강도 역시 지속적으로 감소될 것이다. 동결융해로 인한 응력의 이력현상은 대기의 온도의 영향에 의한 것으로, 일반적으로 점탄성 거동을 하게 된다. 그러므로, 일반적으로 점탄성 거동해석에 사용되는 Kelvin 모델을 적용할 수 있다. 동절기의 동결융해에 따른 암반사면의 거동을 해석하기 위하여, 계측깊이에 따라 얕은 절리면 깊이의 3지점과 깊은 절리면의 2지점으로, 총 5곳의 실측자료를 분석하였다. 얕은 절리면의 경우 많은 절리면을 가져, 다수의 Kelvin model이 연결된 상태이므로 거동이 복잡한 형태로 나타났다. 암반이 양호한 깊은 절리면의 경우 단순한 Kelvin model이 연결된 상태이므로, 절리면 거동이 단순한 형태로 나타남을 볼 수 있다.

현존하는 세장선 이론과는 아주 다르게 Kelvin 소오스와 그의 궤적 주위에 대한 점근전개를 행하여 전진 운동을 하는 세장체에 대한 공식을 유도하였다. 여기서 발전된 공식은 기본적으로 Neumann-Kelvin 문제의 Kernel함수에 대한 근사와 동등하게되었다. 경계치 문제는 현저하게 단순화되었으며 해는 선수 끝에서 시작하는 축차적분의 진행 절차에 따라 얻어졌다. 속도장과 압력분포는 2차원 속도 포텐시열의 미분에 의해 간단히 계산될 수 있었다. 이 방법은 비록 컴퓨터의 사용에는 Neumann-Kelvin문제처럼 많은 시간이 필요하게 되더라도 선체 주위의 유동장의 수치해석에 더욱 정확하리라는 가능성을 준다. 전진하는 진동 세장체의 문제에도 같은 방법이 유용하리라는 것을 또한 기대한다.
