Synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons is an important radiation mechanism in many astrophysical sources. In the sources where the synchrotron cooling timescale is shorter than the dynamical timescale, electrons are cooled down below the minimum injection energy. It has been believed that such fast-cooling electrons have a power-law distribution in energy with an index -2, and their synchrotron radiation has a photon spectral index -1.5. On the other hand, in a transient expanding astrophysical source, such as a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the magnetic field strength in the emission region continuously decreases with radius. Here we study such a system, and find that in a certain parameter regime, the fast-cooling electrons can have a harder energy spectrum. We apply this new physical regime to GRBs, and suggest that the GRB prompt emission spectra whose low-energy photon spectral index has a typical value -1 could be due to synchrotron radiation in this moderately fast-cooling regime.

Over 4.1 billion metric tons of non-hazardous solid wastes are generated in the United States anually. Therefore, there is a need to reuse or reprocess as many products or by -products as possible. In this report, the aggregates produced from Naval Shipyard and Charlexton area dredge spoils are designated as NC and DS, respectively. The major objective of this portion was to determine the feasibility of the use of these aggregates in concrete mixtures. According to test results, the unit weight of concrete mixtures containing NC and DS (vitrified glass) was lower than the control mixture, and the control mixture produced higher compressive and bending strength compared to mixtures containing vitrified glass. However the mixtures containing vitrified glass still could be used in the field based on the minimum criteria set for the mix desgin.

Over 4.1 billion metric tons of non-hazardous solid wstes are generated in the United States annually. Therefore, there is a need to reuse or reprocess as many products or by-products as possible. In this report, theaggregates produced from Naval Shipyard and Charleston area dredge spoils are designated as GP-21-23 and GP 4-5, repectively. The major objective of this study is to determine the feasiblity of the use of these aggregates in concrete. The followings are some of the conclusions, observations and recommendations regarding this portion of the research project. In most cases, the unit weight of concrete containing GP 21-23 and GP 4-5 (vitrified galss) lower than the control concrete, and the concrete containing vitrified glass produced lower compressive and bending strength compared to the control. However the concrete containing virtrified glass could be used in the field based on the minimum criterial set for the mix design. The use of vitrified glass in concrete is recommended in several applications except parking lots, side walks and main roads, because abrasion resistace is not high.

The piston of a marine diesel engine works under severe conditions, including a combustion pressure of over 180 bar, high thermal load, and high speed. Therefore, the analyses of the fatigue strength, thermal load, clamping (bolting) system and lubrication performance are important in achieving a robust piston design. Designing the surface profile and the skirt ovality carefully is important to prevent severe wear and reduce frictional loss for engine efficiency. This study performs flexible multi-body dynamic and elasto-hydrodynamic (EHD) analyses using AVL/EXCITE/PU are performed to evaluate tribological characteristics. The numerical techniques employed to perform the EHD analysis are as follows: (1) averaged Reynolds equation considering the surface roughness; (2) Greenwood_Tripp model considering the solid_to_solid contact using the statistical values of the summit roughness; and (3) flow factor considering the surface topology. This study also compares two cases of skirt shapes with minimum oil film thickness, peak oil film pressure, asperity contact pressure, wear rate using the Archard model and friction power loss (i.e., frictional loss mean effective pressure (FMEP)). Accordingly, the study compares the calculated wear pattern with the field test result of the piston operating for 12,000h to verify the quantitative integrity of the numerical analysis. The results show that the selected profile and the piston skirt ovality reduce friction power loss and peak oil film pressure by 7% and 57%, respectively. They also increase the minimum oil film thickness by 34%.

과압밀점토(過壓密粘土)에 대한 일련의 입방형삼축시험(立方型三軸試驗)이 실시되었다. 삼축시험(三軸試驗)은 세 주응력(主應力)을 서로 독립적으로 제어시킬 수 있는 입방체형삼축시험기(立方體型三軸試驗機)를 사용하여 실시되었다. 점토공시체(粘土供試體)로는 현장(現場)에서 직접 채취된 자연시료(自然試料)를 삼축(三軸) chamber 내(內)에서 과압밀비(過壓密比)가 5가 되게 만든 입방체형공시체(立方體型供試體)가 사용되었으며 본연구결과(本硏究結果), 중간주응력(中間主應力)은 과압밀점토(過壓密粘土)의 응력변형률(應力變形率), 비배수강도(非排水强度), 유효강도(有效强度), 유효내부마찰각(有效內部摩擦角) 및 간극압(間隙壓)에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음이 구명(究明)되었다. 중간주응력(中間主應力)이 최소주응력(最小主應力)과 같지 않은 경우의 과압밀점토파괴강도(過壓密粘土破壞强度)는 Mohr-Coulomb 파괴규준(破壞規準)에 의하여 과소평가(過小評價)되나 Lade규준(規準)에 의하여는 대단히 양호하게 산정된다. 또한 과압밀점토(過壓密粘土)의 비배수강도(非排水强度)는 Tresca규준(規準)에 일치하지 않는다.

터널구조물은 지하공간에 건설되며 육안으로 터널 배면상태를 확인하는 것이 불가능하기 때문에 유지 관리하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 재래식 터널의 주 지보재인 콘크리트 라이닝의 장기 내구성 및 성능저하 원인을 규명하기 위하여 준공된 지 약 40~70년이 경과된 7개의 철도 폐터널을 대상으로 현장조사 및 실내실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 조사 대상 터널 구조물의 콘크리트 라이닝은 준공년도에 관계없이 모든 구조물에서 다양한 형태의 균열이 조사되었으며 특히 시공이음부에 열화현상이 심각하게 나타났다. 터널 구조물의 콘크리트 라이닝 주변 지하 공간으로부터 유입되는 침출수의 유해이온은 콘크리트 열화에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 농도는 아니었으나 일정한 농도의 유해이온이 장기간 지속적으로 콘크리트 라이닝에 침식작용을 한 것으로 나타났다. 터널 구조물의 콘크리트 라이닝에서 측정한 비파괴 압축강도와 동일한 위치에서 채취한 코어시편을 대상으로 측정한 일축압축강도는 콘크리트 라이닝의 표면의 건전 여부에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose a cost-aware Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) path planning algorithm for mobile robots. A mobile robot is presented with a cost map of the field of interest and assigned to move from one location to another. As a robot moves, the robot is penalized by the cost at its current location according to the cost map. The overall cost of the robot is determined by the trajectory of the robot. The goal of the proposed cost-aware RRT algorithm is to find a trajectory with the minimal cost. The cost map of the field can represent environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, chemical concentration, wireless signal strength, and stealthiness. For example, if the cost map represents packet drop rates at different locations, the minimum cost path between two locations is the path with the best possible communication, which is desirable when a robot operates under the environment with weak wireless signals. The proposed cost-aware RRT algorithm extends the basic RRT algorithm by considering the cost map when extending a motion segment. We show that the proposed algorithm gives an outstanding performance compared to the basic RRT method. We also demonstrate that the use of rejection sampling can give better results through extensive simulation.

In the present work, a 3D numerical model is proposed to study local scouring around single vertical piers with different cross-section shapes under steady-current flow. The model solves the flow field and sediment transport processes using a coupled approach. The flow field is obtained by solving the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations in combination with the k-ω SST turbulence closure model and the sediment transport is considered using both bedload and suspended load models. The proposed model is validated against the empirical measurements of local scour around single vertical piers with circular, square, and diamond cross-section shapes obtained from the literature. The measurement of scour depth in equilibrium condition for the simulations reveal the differences of 4.6%, 6.7% and 13.1% from the experimental measurements for the circular, square, and diamond pier cases, respectively. The model displayed a remarkable performance in the prediction of scour around circular and square piers where horseshoe vortices (HSVs) have a leading impact on scour progression. On the other hand, the maximum deviation was found in the case of the diamond pier where HSVs are weak and have minimum impact on the formation of local scour. Overall, the results confirm that the prediction capability of the present model is almost independent of the strength of the formed HSVs and pier cross-section shapes.
