The goal of automatic velocity analysis is to extract accurate velocity from voluminous seismic data with efficiency. In this study, we developed an efficient automatic velocity analysis algorithm by using bootstrapped differential semblance (BDS) and Monte Carlo inversion. To estimate more accurate results from automatic velocity analysis, the algorithm we have developed uses BDS, which provides a higher velocity resolution than conventional semblance, as a coherency estimator. In addition, our proposed automatic velocity analysis module is performed with a conditional initial velocity determination step that leads to enhanced efficiency in running time of the module. A new optional root mean square (RMS) velocity constraint, which prevents picking false peaks, is used. The developed automatic velocity analysis module was tested on a synthetic dataset and a marine field dataset from the East Sea, Korea. The stacked sections made using velocity results from our algorithm showed coherent events and improved the quality of the normal moveout-correction result. Moreover, since our algorithm finds interval velocity ($\nu_{int}$) first with interval velocity constraints and then calculates a RMS velocity function from the interval velocity, we can estimate geologically reasonable interval velocities. Boundaries of interval velocities also match well with reflection events in the common midpoint stacked sections.

Using liquefied natural gas as a fuel, water, natural gas and liquefied natural gas-cooled firing tests were conducted. With the viewpoint of characteristic velocity, and specific impulse, the effect of OF mixture ratio and fuel inlet temperature into a combustion chamber were analyzed. OF mixture ratio and fuel inlet temperature into a combustion chamber have great influence on the performance. Characteristic velocity and theoretical specific impulse attain the maximum value at 0.72~0.75 and 0.75 of OF mixture ratio, respectively. Engine performance has a tendency to increase, proportional to fuel inlet temperature into a combustion chamber affected by the regenerative cooling.

This study is performed to evaluate freezing and thawing properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced eco-concrete using soil, natural coarse aggregate, soil compound and polypropylene fiber. The mass loss ratio is decreased with increasing the content of natural coarse aggregate and soil compound, but it is increased with increasing the content of polypropylene fiber. The ultrasonic pulse velocity, dynamic modulus of elasticity and durability factor are increased with increasing the content of natural coarse aggregate and soil compound, but it is decreased with increasing the content of polypropylene fiber. The mass loss ratio, ultrasonic pulse velocity, dynamic modulus of elasticity and durability factor are $1.49{\sim}3.32%,\;1,870{\sim}2,465\;m/s,\;77X10^2{\sim}225X10^2\;MPa\;and\;84.6{\sim}92.8$ after freezing and thawing 300 cycles, respectively. These eco-concrete can be used for environment-friendly side walk and farm road.

The energy recovery efficiency(ERE) of an aquifer thermal energy storage system was calculated using curvilinear coordinate. The results of the calculation were compared with the experimental results, and agreed within 11% of the discrepancy. The variation of ERE was investigated as a function of the underground water natural velocity, the amount of the stored energy, and period of the energy recovery. The slower the natural velocity and shorter the recovery period, the higher ERE was yielded. Also it was found that increase in the amount of energy storage yields higher ERE, and carries out less influential ERE to the natural velocity. Reiterative usage of the aquifer as a thermal storage tends to gradually increase ERE. The result of this study implements that the aquifer thermal energy storage system is suitable for large cooling/heating loads, such as district cooling/heating.

Using the film-based particle image velocimetry, natural convective flows have been measured quantitatively in a rectangular enclosure with a heater located on the bottom surface. The success rate of the present interrogation method has been obtained as a function of the number of particle pairs and the distance between the particle pairs. The influence of the diffraction halo at the center have been effectively eliminated by rotating-subtracting the original Fourier-transformed image. By utilizing the coded multiple pulsed illumination with two different time intervals, the minimum measurable velocity have been improved. The results of the velocity distributions and the heat transfer correlations have been obtained for different locations of heater in the enclosure.

The main source of transverse vibration of a conveyor belt is frictional contact between pulley and belt. Also, environmental characteristics such as natural dampers and springs affect natural frequencies, stability and bifurcation points of system. These phenomena can be modeled by a small velocity fluctuation about mean velocity. Also, viscoelastic foundation can be modeled as the dampers and springs with continuous characteristics. In this study, non-linear vibration of a conveyor belt supported partially by a distributed viscoelastic foundation is investigated. Perturbation method is applied to obtain a closed form analytic solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to show stiffness, damping coefficient, foundation length, non-linearity and mean velocity effects on location of bifurcation points, natural frequencies and stability of solutions.

In current study, surface/interface effects for pull-in voltage and viscous fluid velocity effects on dimensionless natural frequency (DNF) of fluid-conveying piezoelectric nanosensor (FCPENS) subjected to direct electrostatic voltage DC with nonlinear excitation, harmonic force and also viscoelastic foundation (visco-pasternak medium and structural damping) are investigated using Gurtin-Murdoch surface/interface (GMSIT) theory. For this analysis, Hamilton's principles, the assumed mode method combined with Lagrange-Euler's are used for the governing equations and boundary conditions. The effects of surface/interface parameters of FCPENS such as Lame's constants (λI,S, μI,S), residual stress (τ0I,S), piezoelectric constants (e31psk,e32psk) and mass density (ρI,S) are considered for analysis of dimensionless natural frequency respect to viscous fluid velocity u̅f and pull-in voltage V̅DC.

The knowledge about structure of the velocity in the stream IS essential in the investigation of stream meandering, erosion and sediment transport, and dispersion of pollutants in the stream. In this study, theoretical velocity profile model in which transverse profile of the longitudinal velocity in the stream can be predicted using stream hydraulic data was developed. The proposed model was tested with the measured velocity data of the Nakdong river. The result shows that the numerical model simulates properly the general shalxc of the measured velocity profiles. The simulated profiles agree well with measurements, especially in the aspects of skewness and flatness.atness.

This paper deals with the characteristics of idle vibration due to the type of constant velocity joints. Based on the kinematics model of constant velocity joints, a offset between the tripod center and tullip center plays a important role in generating unwelcome forces. Moreover, it induced additional forces in lateral direction of a vehicle movement according to the angle of the spider in idle vibration. The difference of mass for each constant velocity joint types affect the natural frequency of the driveshaft and the powertrain. When the static torque is applied to the constant velocity joints, the natural frequencies of the driveshaft are reduced nearby 50Hz. There will be a big opportunity that the dirveshaft and constant velocity joints would be a transfer path of idle vibration at D or R gear range. Experiments indicate that TJ type is better than SFJ and DOJ in idle vibration.

To investigate the natural frequencies of curved piping systems with various elbow angles conveying flow fluid, a simulation is performed considering Initial tension due to the inside fluid. The system is analyzed by finite element method utilizing straight beam element. Elbow part is meshed using 4 elements, and the initial tension is considered by inserting equivalent terms into the stiffness matrix. Without considering the initial tension, the system becomes unstable, that is, the fundamental natural frequency approaches to zero value fast, as the flow velocity reaches critical value. With the initial tension terms, the system becomes stable where there is no abrupt decrease of the fundamental natural frequency. The change rate of the natural frequency with respect to the flow velocity reduces. As elbow angle increases, the system becomes stiffer, then around 150 degrees of the elbow angle the natural frequency has the largest value, the value decreases after the angle of the largest natural frequency. When angle is between 170 degrees and 179 degrees, the natural frequency is very sensitive. This means that small change of angle results in great change of natural frequency, which is expected to be utilized in the control of the natural frequency of the piping system conveying flow fluid.
