In recent years, rainscreen walls based on the pressure equalization principle are often used in building construction. To improve the understanding of the influence of several design parameters on the pressure equalization performance of such wall systems, a theoretical consideration of the problem may be more appropriate. On this basis, this paper presents two theoretical models, one based on mass balance and the other based on the Helmholtz resonator theory, for the prediction of cavity pressure in rigid rainscreen walls. New measures to assess the degree of pressure equalization of rainscreen walls are also suggested. The results show that the model based on mass balance is sufficiently accurate and efficient in predicting the cavity pressure variations. Further, the performance of the proposed model is evaluated utilizing the data obtained from full-scale tests and the results are discussed in detail.

This paper reports the field measurements concerning pressure equalization of rainscreen facades carried out at the Technical University of Eindhoven (TUE) in the Netherlands. The field facility including the details of test panel, meteorological tower, instrumentation, data collection and analysis is presented. Results of investigations into cavity response for various leakage and venting configurations are discussed. Frequency domain techniques have been utilized to show the influence of wind as well as facade characteristics on the pressure equalization performance. Further, this paper presents an early attempt to synthesize the experimental results into existing building codes.

초고층건물의 수계소화설비에 있어서 적정 방수압력을 제공하기 위해서는 감압밸브의 사용이 필수적이다. 하지만 많은 경우 밸브 내 누설로 인한 균압 현상으로 인해 감압 기능을 상실하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 최근 개발된 균압 현상을 자동으로 방지해 줄 수 있는 새로운 개념의 감압밸브에 대한 성능평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과 다양한 설정 조건에도 불구하고 설계 감압비가 최대 약 11% 범위 내에서 유지되었으며, 피스톤의 자동 셀프 록(self-lock) 기능에 의해 균압 현상도 방지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A new stress path testing scheme with back pressure equalization process is proposed, to compute the settlement of clay soils based on their probable deformation mode. The proposed testing scheme minimizes the efforts for testing, otherwise numerous testing works are required to simulate the probable stress paths in the field. Furthermore, the proposed testing scheme can supply anisotropic stress paths for consolidation which cannot be possible in a conventional way. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed testing scheme was investigated and confirmed with test results on remolded kaolinite clay soils. Conclusively, it is suggested that the proposed testing scheme is a very effective tool to compute settlement of clay soils and it is also very useful to investigate the anisotropic characteristics of deformation of clay soils.

본 연구에서는 점성토지반의 침하량 평가에 보다 적합한 새로운 응력경로시험을 소개하였다. 새로운 시험기법에서는 배압평형과정을 채택함으로써 특정 응력경로상의 모든 점에 대응하는 변형특성을 하나의 시험을 통해 파악할 수 있다. 따라서, 제안된 시험기법을 적용하는 경우, 응력경로법의 실용적인 적용을 위해 필요한 지반의 전반적인 변형거동을 몇 개의 시험만으로 예측할 수 있으며 나아가 기존의 시험기법으로는 수행이 불가능했던 이방적 압밀응력 경로에 대한 변형거동의 평가 역시 실험적으로 가능해진다. 이와 함께 본 연구에서는 성형 카올리나이트 시료에 대해 다양한 응력경로시험을 수행하여 제안된 시험기법의 실험적 적용성을 확인하였으며, 그 결과를 활용하여 전반적인 변형거동과 침하량을 평가하는 실제 과정을 제시하였다.

An epicyclic gearing system is compact and lightweight. However, it is difficult to share the driving force equally because the system has closed gear trains with multiple driving points, and it always has geometrical errors in the elements. Thus, in the case of planetary gears, the first problem is how to distribute the load evenly to the numerous planets. The method widely used abroad for this purpose is to utilize the elastic deformation of the components of the structure. However, the deflection is very complicated, and it is very easy for vibration problems to occur because of the decrease in the natural frequencies. Therefore, to equalize the load on the planets, this paper discusses the principle and theory behind the functioning of a floating intermediate ring. This magnifies the displacement of a planet's center arising from the equilibrium of the load and the lubricating film pressure, which improves the compliance of the planets. The results show that load equalization of the planets is possible through this improvement in their compliance.

A rigorous dynamic simulation was performed in binary gas mixture H$_{2}$/CO (70:30 vol.%) to determinate start-up operating conditions of PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption) processes. The rigorous dynamic model for the PSA process contains an Ergun equation for expressing the pressure drop in a bed, and valve equations to compute the boundary pressure change of the bed. As the result of the continuous dynamic simulation of 100 operating cyles in various initial conditions, the unsteady-state appeared in the early period and the cyclic steady-state came out about 20th cycle in feed condition and vaccum condition, and 30th cycle in pure H$_{2}$ condition. As time goes by valve equations made change the pressure at each end of the bed in ressurization, countercurrunt-depressurization and pressure equalization steps. The H$_{2}$ purity and the recovery is 99.99% and 86.73% respectively, which is slightly higher than the experimental data. Main contributiion of this study includes supplying fundamental technologies of handling combined variables PSA processes by developing rigorous models.

Equivalent volume estimation of the coupler and two coupled microphones has a key role in standard microphone pressure calibration. The equivalent volume of the microphone is determined by the dynamic characteristics of the diaphragm system and front cavity. Therefore the modal parameters of diaphragm system - natural frequency and damping fatter - should be measured explicitly for the estimation of the equivalent volume. The diaphragm system is composed of the vibrating diaphragm, back slit behind diaphragm, pressure equalization vent, and front cavity which are acoustically coupled. In the measurement, the electrostatic actuator was used to excite the system with the swept sine, and the frequency response was obtained. The close actuator in front of the diaphragm must influence the radiation impedance of the system, and then the modal parameters. From the measured frequency response, the natural frequency and the damping factor could be estimated with the Complex exponential method based on the Prony model and the zero crossing real and imaginary plot.
