At present, the time of easy oil and gas is over. Now, the largest part of fossil fuels is concentrated in the deepest levels of tectonic structures and in the sea shelves. One of the most cumbersome operations of their extraction is the bore-hole drilling. In connection with austere tectonic and climate conditions, their drivage every so often is associated with great and diversified technological difficulties causing emergencies on frequent occasions. As a rule, they are linked with drill string accidents. A key role in prediction of these situations should play methods of theoretical modelling. For this reason, there is a growing need for development and implementation of new numerical methods for computer simulation of critical and post-critical behavior of drill strings (DSs). In this paper, the processes of non-linear deforming of a DS in cylindrical cavity of a deep bore-hole are considered. On the basis of the theory of curvilinear flexible rods, non-linear constitutive differential equations are deduced. The effects of the longitudinal non-uniform preloading, action of torque and interaction between the DS and the bore-hole surface are taken into account. Owing to the use of curvilinear coordinates in the constraining cylindrical surface and a specially chosen concomitant reference frame, it became possible to separate the desired variables and to reduce the total order of the equation system. To solve it, the method of continuation the solution by parameter and the transfer matrix technique are applied. As a result of the completed numerical analysis, the critical states of the DS loading in the cylindrical channels of inclined bore-holes are found. It is shown that the modes of the post-critical deforming of the DS are associated with its irregular spiral curving prevailing in the zone of bottom-hole-assembly. The possibility of invariant state generation during post-critical deforming is established, condition of its bifurcation is formulated. It is shown that infinite variety of loads can correspond to one geometrical configuration of the DS. They differ each from other by contact force functions.

Reliability assessment of complex structures using simulation methods is time-consuming. Thus, surrogate models are usually employed to reduce computational cost. AK-MCS is a surrogate-based Active learning method combining Kriging and Monte-Carlo Simulation for structural reliability analysis. This paper proposes three modifications of the AK-MCS method to reduce the number of calls to the performance function. The first modification is related to the definition of an initial Design of Experiments (DoE). In the original AK-MCS method, an initial DoE is created by a random selection of samples among the Monte Carlo population. Therefore, samples in the failure region have fewer chances to be selected, because a small number of samples are usually located in the failure region compared to the safe region. The proposed method in this paper is based on a uniform selection of samples in the predefined domain, so more samples may be selected from the failure region. Another important parameter in the AK-MCS method is the size of the initial DoE. The algorithm may not predict the exact limit state surface with an insufficient number of initial samples. Thus, the second modification of the AK-MCS method is proposed to overcome this problem. The third modification is relevant to the type of regression trend in the AK-MCS method. The original AK-MCS method uses an ordinary Kriging model, so the regression part of Kriging model is an unknown constant value. In this paper, the effect of regression trend in the AK-MCS method is investigated for a benchmark problem, and it is shown that the appropriate choice of regression type could reduce the number of calls to the performance function. A stepwise approach is also presented to select a suitable trend of the Kriging model. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed modifications.

The laboratorv model test was carried out to investigate the behavior of pore water pressure, the critical amount of rainfall for slope failure, the pattern of failure, and the variation of seepage line at the slope with the uniform material of embankment by changing the slope angles and rainfall intensities. The results were was summarised as follows : 1.At the beginning stage of rainfall, the negative pore pressure appeared at the surface of slope and the positive pore pressure at the deep parts. But, the negative one turned into the positive one as the rainfall continued and this rapidly increased about 50 to 100 minutes before the slope failure. 2.The heavier the rainfall intensity, the shorter the time, and the milder the slope, the longer the time took to reach the failure of slope. 3.As the angle of the slope became milder, the critical amount of rainfall for slope failure became greater. 4.Maximum pore water pressure was 10 to 40g/cm$^2$ at the toe of slope and 50 to 90g/cm$^2$at the deep parts. 5.In the respect of the pattern of slope failure, surface failure of slope occurred locally at the toe of slope at the A-soil and failure of slope by surface flow occurred gradually at the top part of slope at the B-soil. 6.As the rainfall continued and the saturation zone in the embankment was formed, the seepage line went rapidly up and also the time to reach the total collapse of slope took longer at the B-soil. 7.As the position of the seepage line went up and the strength parameter accordingly down, the safety factor was 2.108 at the A-soil and 2.150 at the B-soil when the slope occured toe failure. Minimum safety factor was rapidly down to 0.831 at the A-soil and to 0.936 at the B-soil when the slope collapsed totally at the top part of slope.

정상 2차원 이송확산(移送擴散) 방정식의 수치해석에 의하여 난류전단(亂流剪斷) 흐름에서의 정상(定常) 수평(水平) 선오염원(線汚染源)의 확산(擴散)을 모의하였다. 유속과 난류확산계수(亂流擴散係數)의 수심에 따른 변화가 없을 경우에 대한 해석해와 비교한 결과, 일정 유속 및 난류확산계수(亂流擴散係數)를 가정할 경우 수심방향 확산(擴散)을 과대평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 무차원화된 지배방정식에 따르면 수심방향 확산(擴散)을 지배하는 물리적 변수는 마찰계수(摩擦係數)뿐이다. 마찰계수(摩擦係數)에 대한 확산과정의 민감도(敏感度) 분석(分析)으로부터 수심방향 확산속도(擴散速度)는 대략 마찰계수(摩擦係數)의 제곱근에 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 오염원(汚染源)의 초기 방류위치에 따른 민감도(敏感度) 분석(分析) 결과, 가장 신속한 수심 방향 확산(擴散)을 가져오는 최적의 방류위치는 수심의 중간정보다 위쪽이며, 마찰계수(摩擦係數)가 커질수록 그 위치가 수면쪽에 가까와지는 것으로 나타났다.

The goal of this study is to fill this apparent gap in the area about investigating the effect of porosity distributions on vibrational behavior of FG sectorial plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation. The response of the elastic medium is formulated by the Winkler/Pasternak model. The internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) are distributed in the matrix either uniformly or non-uniformly according to three different patterns. The model is proposed with material parameters varying in the thickness of plate to achieve graded distributions in both porosity and nanofillers. The elastic modulus of the nanocomposite is obtained by using Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. The annular sector plate is assumed to be simply supported in the radial edges while any arbitrary boundary conditions are applied to the other two circular edges including simply supported, clamped and free. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical approach is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made between the present results and those reported by well-known references for special cases treated before, have confirmed accuracy and efficiency of the present approach. It is observed that the maximum vibration frequency obtained in the case of symmetric porosity and GPL distribution, while the minimum vibration frequency is obtained using uniform porosity distribution. Results show that for better understanding of mechanical behavior of nanocomposite plates, it is crucial to consider porosities inside the material structure.

This paper aims to focus on the microwave processing of thick films which is a fast, cheap technique and could be the alternative to the currently used conventional high temperature processing technique. Microwave processing has gained worldwide acceptance as a novel method for heating and sintering a variety of materials, as it offers specific advantages in terms of speed, energy efficiency, process simplicity, finer microstructures and lower environmental hazards. Silver conducting thick films were prepared and processed in the household microwave oven. The films sintered at different time period by keeping the other parameter such as microwave power, film thickness etc constant. The microstructure analysis revealed that the surface morphology of the microwave processed films become compact with respect to the processing time. The sheet resistance for microwave sintered silver films is in the range of 0.003 to $1.207{\Omega}/{\Box}$ where as the films fired at 750 and $850^{\circ}C$ showed the resistance of 0.009 and $0.003{\Omega}/{\Box}$ which can be comparable. The results revealed that the microstructure of the microwave sintered films has more uniform and compact surface than that of the conventionally fired films. The paper reports upon the preparation of silver thick film by screen printing technique and processing the same by microwave which also compared with the conventionally processed thick films.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of embedded functionally graded (FG)-carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced micro cylindrical shells. The structure is subjected to harmonic non-uniform temperature distribution and 2D magnetic field. The CNT reinforcement is either uniformly distributed or FG along the thickness direction where the effective properties of nano-composite structure are estimated through Mixture low. The viscoelastic properties of structure are captured based on the Kelvin-Voigt theory. The surrounding viscoelastic medium is considered nonhomogeneous with the spring, orthotropic shear and damper constants. The material properties of cylindrical shell and the viscoelastic medium constants are assumed temperature-dependent. The first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) or Mindlin theory in conjunction with Hamilton's principle is utilized for deriving the motion equations where the size effects are considered based on Eringen's nonlocal theory. Based on differential quadrature (DQ) and Bolotin methods, the dynamic instability region (DIR) of structure is obtained for different boundary conditions. The effects of different parameters such as volume percent and distribution type of CNTs, mode number, viscoelastic medium type, temperature, boundary conditions, magnetic field, nonlocal parameter and structural damping constant are shown on the DIR of system. Numerical results indicate that the FGX distribution of CNTs is better than other considered cases. In addition, considering structural damping of system reduces the resonance frequency.

본 연구에서는 사질토 지반에 설치된 수직갱에 작용하는 토압에 대한 기존 제안식을 수정하였다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 깊이에 관계없이 동일한 반경방향 변위를 일으킬 수 있는 실내 모형시험장치를 개발하였으며, 벽면마찰각과 상대 밀도를 변수로 시험하였다. 실내 모형시험 결과는 수정식에서 접선방향 토압계수(수직응력에 대한 접선방향 응력 비)인 $\lambda$값을 $\lambda=1-sin\phi$와$\lambda=1$을 사용하였을 경우의 토압 사이에 분포하였다. 다층지반에 설치된 원형수직갱 배면지반의 파괴면을 가정하고 수정식을 적용하여 다층지반에 설치된 원형수직갱에 작용하는 토압 산정방법을 제안하였다. 시공현장의 3개의 수직갱으로부터 계측 데이터를 획득하였으며 이를 토압으로 환산하여 제안된 방법을 검증하였다. 계측 데이터로부터 환산된 대부분의 환산 토압은 제안된 방법의 토압과 잘 일치하였다.

In this paper, a new nonlocal trigonometric shear deformation theory is proposed for thermal buckling response of nanosize functionally graded (FG) nano-plates resting on two-parameter elastic foundation under various types of thermal environments. This theory uses for the first time, undetermined integral variables and it contains only four unknowns, that is even less than the first shear deformation theory (FSDT). It is considered that the FG nano-plate is exposed to uniform, linear and sinusoidal temperature rises. Mori-Tanaka model is utilized to define the gradually variation of material properties along the plate thickness. Nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen is employed to capture the size influences. Through the stationary potential energy the governing equations are derived for a refined nonlocal four-variable shear deformation plate theory and then solved analytically. A variety of examples is proposed to demonstrate the importance of elastic foundation parameters, various temperature fields, nonlocality, material composition, aspect and side-to-thickness ratios on critical stability temperatures of FG nano-plate.

유입량의 분포에 따른 가변(可變) 제한수위(制限水位)아래서 홍수기(洪水期) 저수지 이수운영(利水運營)모형을 수립하였다. 사용된 최적화모형은 방류량(放流量)의 기대방류량(期待放流量)으로부터의 편차를 최소화하는 모형과 홍수조절용량을 최소화하는 위험도제약(危險度制約) 선형계획법(線形計劃法)(CCLP)모형(模型)의 2가지 부모형(副模型)으로 구성되어 있다. 확정론적 등가식을 만들기위해 유입량의 분포는 2모수(母數) 대수정규분포(對數正規分布)를 가정하였으며 모수(母數)는 최우추정법(最尤推定法)에 의하여 구하였다. 모형은 소양강(昭陽江)댐과 충주(忠州)댐의 홍수기 운계운영(運繫運營)에 적용되었다. 그 결과 소양(昭陽)이 충주(忠州)보다 상대적으로 큰 규모의 홍수사상에 대하여 설계되었음을 알 수 있었다. 가변제한수위(可變制限水位)를 이용한 운영은 일률제한수위(一律制限水位)의 운영보다 효율적인 것으로 나타나는데 이는 충주(忠州)에서 더욱 두드러졌다, 유입홍수량이 큰 시구간의 방류형태는 홍수량의 규모를 줄이는 조절효과와 지체효과를 보이며, 갈수시에는 상대적으로 실제보다 많은 방류를 하는 형태를 보인다.
