Laser surface texturing (LST) methods are widely applied now to reduce friction and improve reliability of machine components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals and piston rings, etc. In this paper, the effect of dimple shapes on the lubrication characteristics of parallel thrust bearing are studied using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. Pressure and streamline distributions, variations of supporting load, leakage flow rate and friction force, are compared for three different dimple sectional shapes such as circle, pyramid and rectangle type. The lubrication characteristics are highly affected by dimple shapes and number of dimples. The pyramid type dimple shape can support the highest load while the rectangle type is the best in friction reduction.

As a novel typical wind-sensitive structure, the wind load and wind-induced structural behaviors of super-large straight-cone cooling towers are in an urgent need to be addressed and studied. A super large straight-cone steel cooling tower (189 m high, the highest in Asia) that is under construction in Shanxi Power Plant in China was taken as an example, for which four finite element models corresponding to four structural types: the main drum; main drum + stiffening rings; main drum + stiffening rings + auxiliary rings (auxiliary rings are hinged with the main drum and the ground respectively); and main drum + stiffening rings + auxiliary rings (auxiliary rings are fixed onto the main drum and the ground respectively), were established to compare and analyze the dynamic properties and force transferring paths of different models. After that, CFD method was used to conduct numerical simulation of flow field and mean wind load around the cooling tower. Through field measurements and wind tunnel tests at home and abroad, the reliability of using CFD method for numerical simulation was confirmed. On the basis of this, the surface flow and trail characteristics of the tower at different heights were derived and the wind pressure distribution curves for the internal and external surfaces at different heights of the tower were studied. Finally, based on the calculation results of wind-induced responses of the four models, the effects of stiffening rings, auxiliary rings, and different connecting modes on the dynamic properties and wind-induced responses of the tower structure were derived and analyzed; meanwhile, the effect mechanism of internal suction on such kind of cooling tower was discussed. The study results could provide references to the structure selection and wind resistance design of such type of steel cooling towers.

This study examines fracture characteristics of wire rope of 6$\times$37+FC 14mm B degree, Which has been widely used for the strength support for machinery, cranes and shipping. The examination Is based on the fellowing experimental conditions. Firstly, this study analyzes the effect of the strength of wlre rope. When number of broken wires is occuring at the level of 5%, 10% and 15% degree respectively in the following two cases：1) Case of broken down to each strand equally. 2) Case of broken down to one strand only. Secondly, this study analyzes the effect of corrosion on the strength of wire rope. Corrosion times are 72hours, 144hours and 216hours corrosion respectively under following conditions. 1) Case of only a corrosion without wire breaking. 2) Case of corrosion after 5% degree wire breaking to each strand equally. Some outcomes of these experiment are as follows. 1) From the of tension test, We can find that the ratio of strength reduction case of wire broke down to one strand concentrically is greater than that ratio case of broke down to each strand equally. 2) From the corrosion test, We can also find that the ratio of strength reduction case of corroded after 5% degree wire breaking to each strand equally Is greater than that ratio case of corroded without wire breaking. 3) After comparing theoretical fracture load of wires with experimental fracture load of wires, we can find the fracture load of the case of broken down to each strand equally is most similar to theoretical fracture load. 4) It is proposed that safety rules on wire rope in the Industrial safety and healthy labor of law have to change “breaking over 10% of number of wires in one strand of wire rope(excluded filler wire )”has to be replaced by“breaking over 10% of number of all wires in all strand of wire rope(excluded filler wire)”

In this paper, the effects of ethanol blended gasoline on emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiencies characteristics were investigated in gasoline engine with an electronic fuel injection. The results showed that the increase of ethanol concentration in the blended fuels brought the reduction of THC and $CO_2$ emissions from the gasoline engine. THC emissions were drastically reduced up to thirty percent. And brake specific fuel consumption was increased. but brake specific energy consumption was similar level. However. unburned ethanol and acetaldehyde emissions increased. The conversion efficiency of Pt/Rh based three-way catalysts and the effect of ethanol on CO and NOx emissions were investigated by the change of engine speed. load and air/fuel ratio. Furthermore, the ethanol blended fuel results in the reduction effect of THC. CO and NOx emissions at idle speed.

Friction reduction between sliding hydraulic machine components is required to improve efficiency and reliability of hydraulic machineries. It is recently reported that surface texturing on sliding bearing surfaces can reduce the friction force highly. In this paper, numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of dimple numbers and inlet boundary pressures on the lubrication characteristics of a parallel sliding bearing using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. The results show that the pressure distribution, load capacity, dimensionless friction force and leakage with dimple number and their locations, and inlet pressures. The overall lubrication characteristics are highly affected by dimple numbers and boundary pressure. The numerical method adopted and results can be used in design of efficient hydraulic machine components.

본 논문은 확률적 기법을 적용하여 직접부하제어의 적정한 지원금을 산정하는 새로운 방법론을 제안한다. 직접부하제어의 경제성 분석은 발전기의 고장정지 특성, 직접부하제어 자원의 차단용량 및 차단시간 등을 모두 고려해야 하기 때문에 현실적으로 불가능한 것으로 인식되었다. 따라서 기존의 연구에서는 시나리오 접근법을 사용하여 직접부하제어의 경제성 평가를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 적용하여 직접부하제어의 제어전력량을 확률적으로 추정하고 이를 기반으로 직접부하제어의 지원금을 산정하는 새로운 접근법을 개발하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 분산감소 기법을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법론의 유용성을 보이기 위해 IEEE 24-모선 신뢰도 계통에 적용하여 사례연구를 수행하였다.

The goal of this study was to evaluate sediment reduction effects of VFS (vegetative filter strip) applied for Iksan area in Saemangeum watershed. This study simulated runoff and sediment load from different types of uplands using VFSMOD-W. The general upland characteristics of the study area was investigated to build reasonable scenarios of the simulation. The simulation scenarios were designed by various areas, shapes, and slopes of uplands. Grass mixture was selected as VFS vegetation and the size of VFS was fixed as 10 % of uplands area. Additionally 50mm, 100mm, 150mm of daily rainfall were applied for the runoff and sediment simulation. As results, the calculated runoff and sediment loads were obtained $20.7{\sim}1,030.6m^3$ and 568.4~675,731.4 kg for the range of 0.1~1.0 ha of uplands with 7 % and 15 % slopes. The reduction effects on runoff and sediment were obtained 5~10 % and 21.0~47.7 % respectively from VFS applications. The VFSMOD-W simulations showed that runoff tended to increase as upland area and amount of rainfall increased while sediment increased when slope, length and area of uplands and amount of rainfall increased. These results indicated that rainfall amount and upland size are the critical factors for the generation of runoff and sediment load. In order to support this conclusion, further studies such as, long term monitoring, field experiments, and to calibrate and evaluate the model are necessary.

According to the technical guideline of water pollutant load management, the rainfall captured ratio which can be estimated by the empirical formula is an important element to estimate reduction loads of non-point pollutants water quality control basin. In this study, the rainfall captured ratio is altered to stormwater captured ratio considering its meaning in the technical guideline of water pollutant load management, and the new empircal formula of stormwater captured ratio is suggested. In order to do this, we calculate stormwater captured ratio by using the hourly rainfall data of seven urban weather stations (Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Gangreung, Seoul, Gwangju, and Jeju) for 43 years. The regression coefficients of the existed empirical formula cannot reflect the catchment properties at all, because they are fixed values regardless of regions. However the empirical formula of stormwater captured ratio has flexible regression coefficients by runoff coefficient(C), so it is allowed to consider the characteristics of runoff in catchment. It is expected that reduction loads of storage based water quality control basin can be more reasonably estimated than before.
