While the classical theory of Griffith is the foundation of modern understanding of brittle fracture, it has a number of significant shortcomings: Griffith theory does not predict crack initiation and path and it suffers from the presence of unphysical stress singularities. In 1998, Francfort and Marigo presented an energy functional minimization method, where the crack (or its absence) as well as its path are part of the problem's solution. The energy functionals act on spaces of functions of bounded variations, where the cracks are related to the discontinuity sets of such functions. The new model presented here uses modified energy functionals to account for molecular interactions in the vicinity of crack tips, resulting in Barenblatt cohesive forces, such that the model becomes free of stress singularities. This is done in a physically consistent way using recently published concepts of Sinclair. Here, for the consistency of the model, it becomes necessary to allow for crack reversibility and to consider local minimizers of the energy functionals. The latter is achieved by introducing different time scales. The model is solved in its global as well as in its local version for a simple one-dimensional example, showing that local minimization is necessary to yield a physically reasonable result.

The interfacial area concentration (IAC) is one of the most important parameters in the two-fluid model for two-phase flow analysis. The IAC can be measured by a local conductivity probe method that uses the difference of conductivity between water and air/steam. The number of sensors in the conductivity probe may be differently chosen by considering the flow regime of two-phase flow. The four sensor conductivity probe method predicts the IAC without any assumptions of the bubble shape. The local IAC can be obtained by measuring the three dimensional velocity vector elements at the measuring point, and the directional cosines of the sensors. The five sensor conductivity probe method proposed in this study is based on the four sensor probe method. With the five sensor probe, the local IAC for a given referred measuring area of the probe can be predicted more exactly than the four sensor probe. In this paper, the mathematical approach of the five sensor probe method for measuring the IAC is described, and a numerical simulation is carried out for ideal cap bubbles of which the sizes and locations are determined by a random number generator.

At the altitudes above 3km, the wind is three to four time faster and less variable than at the current MW sized wind turbine hub height of around 100m. In addition, power generation from wind turbines installed on the ground is intermittent because local wind conditions are affected by local topography and artificial structures. The wind energy researchers and engineers are now looking for revolutionary ideas to utilize high altitude wind resources in-creasing the capabilities of wind turbine installations. This article presents and discusses several concepts for wind energy exploitation from wind at high altitudes. The concepts presented in this paper make use of lifting bodies, called wings or kites, connected to a tether that stetches into the higher regions of the atmosphere.

This paper describes the operation mode development for the grid-tied PMSG(permanent magnet synchronous generator) wind power system combined with a battery energy storage. The development of operation modes was carried out through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experiments with a 10kW hardware prototype. The detailed simulation models for PMSG wind power system and battery energy storage were developed using user-defined models programed with C-code. A 10kW hardware simulator was built and tested in connection with the local load and the utility power. The simulation and experimental results confirm that the grid-tied PMSG wind power system combined with battery energy storage can supply highly reliable power to the local load in various operation modes.

The details of the electronic structure of the perfect crystal provides a critically important foundation for understanding the various defect states in uranium dioxide. In order to understand the local defect and impurity mechanism, the calculation of electronic structure of UO$_2$ in the one-electron approximation was carried out, using a semi-empirical tight-binding formalism(LCAO) with and without f-orbitals. The energy band, local and total density of states for both spin states are calculated from the spectral representation of Green’s function. The bonding mechanism in Perfect lattice of UO$_2$ is discussed based upon the calculations of band structure, local and total density of states.

The metallic energy dissipation device (EDD) has been widely accepted as a useful tool for passive control of buildings against earthquakes. The distribution of metallic EDDs in a multi-story building may have significant influence on its seismic performance, which can be greatly enhanced if the distribution scheme is properly designed. This paper addresses the optimal distribution problem in the aim of achieving a desired level of performance using the minimum number of metallic EDDs. Five local search heuristic algorithms are proposed to solve the problem. Four base structures are presented as numerical examples to verify the proposed algorithms. It is indicated that the performance of different algorithms may vary when applied in different situations. Based on the results of the numerical verification, the recommended guidelines are finally proposed for choosing the appropriate algorithm in different occasions.

본고에서는 에너지정책 대응을 위한 기존 계층적 권위를 바탕으로 하는 조정체계에서 벗어나, 중앙정부나 지방정부가 산업계 및 시민단체 등의 다양한 이해관계 주체와 네트워크를 구성한 조정체계로 전환될 수 있도록 정책제언을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 먼저, 정부의 에너지정책을 위한 조정체계로 전환될 수 있도록 법적 기반의 조성, 둘째로 중앙정부 차원의 에너지정책 거버넌스 구축에 기여, 셋째로 지방정부 차원의 에너지정책 거버넌스 구축에 기여하도록 개선방안을 제시하였다. 따라서 우리나라 에너지정책 거버넌스의 개선을 위한 정책적 방안을 마련하였다. 특히, 여러 에너지정책들이 잘 집행되고 성공할 수 있도록 부처간 의견을 조정하고 협력체계를 구축하기 위한 방안과 정부간 조율된 정책이 민간과 기업의 협력을 통해 잘 집행될 수 있는 체계를 개선하는 데 중점을 두었다.

모바일 애드 혹 네트워크(MANET)에서는 무선 노드들의 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 라우팅 기법들이 많이 제안되었다. 이 중 에너지를 고려한 On-demand 방식의 라우팅 기법들은 노드들의 고른 에너지 소모를 위해 경로를 주기적으로 변경해 줌으로써 네트워크의 수명을 늘리고자 하였으나, 잦은 플러딩으로 인해 라우팅 오버헤드 및 에너지 소모가 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해 최소신장트리(MST)나 인터럽트 방식을 이용해 플러딩 메시지를 줄이는 기법이나, 다중경로 또는 보조경로를 사용해 라우팅 오버헤드를 줄이는 기법 등이 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 잔여 에너지와 함께 노드 간 데이터 전송량의 정도를 반영하여 부분적인 경로 수정을 해 줌으로써 노드의 에너지 소모를 평준화시키고 네트워크 수명을 증가시키는 Adaptive Local Path Modification Routing (ALPMR) 프로토콜을 제안하고, ns-2 시뮬레이터를 이용해 그 성능을 검증한다.

This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between building energy consumption and building and local factors in Seoul. Building energy issue is an important topic for low carbon and eco-friendly city development. Building physical, socio-economic and environmental factors effect to increasing or decreasing energy consumption. However, there are different characteristic in each area, and this kind of variable has a hierarchical structure. The multi-level model was used to consider the hierarchical structure of the variables. In this study, a multi-level model was applied to confirm the difference between areas. Spatial area is Seoul, Korea and the temporal scope is August, summer season. As the result, in Model 1 (Null Model), ICC is 0.817. This shows that the energy consumption differs by 8.174% due to factors at the Dong level. Model 2 (Random Intercept Model) suggests that building's physical factors and Average age, Household size and Land price in Dong level have significant effects on Building energy consumption. In Model 3 (Random Coefficient Model), random effect variables have intercepts and slopes to vary across groups. This study provides a perspective for policy makers that the building energy reduction policies to be applied for buildings should be differently applied on area. Furthermore, not only physical factors but also socio-economic and environmental factors are important when making energy reduction policy.
