While the aerodynamics of solid bluff bodies is reasonably well-understood and methodologies for their reliable numerical simulation are available, the aerodynamics of porous bluff bodies formed by assembling perforated plates has received less attention. The topic is nevertheless of great technical interest, due to their ubiquitous presence in applications (fences, windbreaks and double skin facades to name a few). This work follows previous investigations by the authors, aimed at verifying the consistency of numerical simulations based on the explicit modelling of the perforated plates geometry and their representation by means of pressure-jumps. In this work we further expand such investigations and, contextually, we provide insight into the flow arrangement and its sensitivity to important modelling and setup configurations. To this purpose, Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) are performed for a 5:1 rectangular cylinder at null angle of attack. Then, using URANS, porosity and attack angle are simultaneously varied. To the authors' knowledge this is the first time in which LES are used to model a porous bluff body and compare results obtained using the explicit modelling approach to those obtained relying on pressure-jumps. Despite the flow organization often shows noticeable differences, good agreement is found between the two modelling strategies in terms of drag force.

This study presents applications of the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method for predicting the ultimate loading carrying capacity (N_u) of rectangular concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns subjected to eccentric loading. A database containing 141 experimental data was collected from available literature to develop the MARS model with a total of seven variables that covered various geometrical and material properties including the width of rectangular steel tube (B), the depth of rectangular steel tube (H), the wall thickness of steel tube (t), the length of column (L), cylinder compressive strength of concrete (f'_c), yield strength of steel (f_y), and the load eccentricity (e). The proposed model is a combination of the MARS algorithm and the grid search cross-validation technique (abbreviated here as GS-MARS) in order to determine MARS' parameters. A new explicit formulation was derived from MARS for the mentioned input variables. The GS-MARS estimation accuracy was compared with four available mathematical methods presented in the current design codes, including AISC, ACI-318, AS, and Eurocode 4. The results in terms of criteria indices indicated that the MARS model was much better than the available formulae.

Objectives: Many types of dust collector are used for industrial ventilation, with the most common types being the cylinder bag filter system, rectangular bag filter system and cylinder type cartridge filter system. The cylinder type cartridge bag filter, which has more filtering area than other types of bag filter, can increase the pulse time and extend the useful life of the filter. This can save operational costs and installation area. Materials: This study used cylinder type cartridge bag filter equipment and tested the impact of vibration level and filter pressure with different pulse jet cleaning conditions. The final, cleaning efficiency was calculated through input dust mass and cleaning dust mass Conclusions: Two optimum cleaning condition groups were found. The first condition group was $3kgf/cm^2$ pulse pressure, 15 cm pulse distance, 0.2 s pulse time with an H-10 type nozzle. The second condition group was $3kgf/cm^2$ pulse pressure, 15 cm pulse distance, 0.3 s pulse time with an H-10 type nozzle.

Incompressible, unsteady flow around various single rectangular cylinders of side ratios ranging from 0.005 to 2.0 immersed in uniform flow is computed by the vortex tracing me thod. Results with and without a splitter plate pttached to the rear center of the cylinder are compared. The objective of this study is to investigate predictability of the effects of the splitter plate on drag by the method. Without the splitter plate, computed drag coefficients for cylinders of large side ratios are in good agreement with measured values, but are over predicted for those of small side ratios. With the splitter plate, drag coefficient is reduced significantly due to suppression of vortex growing near the base and interaction between the separated shear layers.

In this study, a turbulence simulation is carried out in a suction type wind tunnel using grids, where turbulent flows with various turbulence intensity are successfully produced by the change of grid size, arrangement of grids and settling position, respectively. Response tests of rectangular cylinder models with aspect ratio of 2 and 4 are carried out in smooth flow and generated turbulent flows. Additionally, two types of fairing are considered such as right triangle and regular triangle. The effects of wind velocity fluctuations and fairing are discussed on vortex-induced oscillation.

백합나무(yellow poplar)는 기후변화의 주범인 이산화탄소의 흡수율이 매우 뛰어나고 오존흡수율도 뛰어나 저탄소 녹생성장 시대에 적합한 수종이다. 속성수인 백합나무는 구조용 부재로의 성능은 약간 부족하지만 가구재나 내장재, 합판용재 등 다양한 용도로 활용가능한 수종이다. 본 연구에서는 백합나무를 이용하여 대단면 스킨팀버를 개발하고 압축 성능을 평가하였으며 다양한 용도 개발을 위해 수치해석 모델을 개발하였다. 정각형 스킨팀버는 소재에 대해 56.3%의 잔존 강도를 보여서 우수한 성능을 나타내었으며 원통형 스킨팀버의 경우 잔존면적율이 25%임에도 불구하고 소재에 대해 50% 가까운 압축 성능을 나타내어 가구용 뿐만 아니라 대단면 재료로써 다양한 쓰임새가 가능함을 보여주었다. 정각형과 원통형 모두 Brooming or end rolling이 주요 파괴모드로 나타났으며 부분적으로 splitting 파괴 모드도 나타났다. 잔존면적률이 큰 정각형 스킨팀버의 압축성능이 원통형 스킨팀버보다 높게 나타났지만 두 집단간에 압축성능에 있어 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않아 사용자의 편의대로 혼용하여 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 수치해석 모델은 실제 압축성능 실험과 상당히 유사한 결과를 보였다. 따라서 다양한 형태와 치수에 대한 수치해석 모델 적용을 통해 백합나무 스킨팀버의 다양한 용도 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study is focused to predict the behavior of Al foam with closed-cell structure during the 3 point bending test and the upsetting test according to aspect ratio. We calculated characters of aluminum foams with closed-cell structure and took the simulation. The effects on the aspect ratio of the cell was investigated parametrically. The analysis was carried out on two models, First, the bending test in elasticity of the rectangular beam, and Second, the upsetting test in plasticity of the circular cylinder. In the analysis, the deformation of the beam and the cylinder was influenced by the aspect ratio of the cell. Further, We assumed that the geometry of feared aluminum cell change the stress and strain in the test.

Recently, It is proceeding the project of offshore structures in the many contury. A hybrid boundary-integral method is developed for computing wave forces on floating bodies. In this method, using the cylindric boundary for deviding elements, it is convenient to analysis but is difficult to apply to the rectangular or slender bodies. Thus, in this paper, I propose the new method by using the fictitious vertical cylinder of arbitary cross-section and shows results of the numerical analysis for testing.

Sloshing of the fluid having a free surface produces an impact force on a tank wall subjected to external excitation. This paper investigates the effect of cylindrical structures in a rectangular sloshing tank under translational harmonic excitations. By varying the number of installed cylinders in the tank, the characteristics of the free-surface deformation is experimentally observed, and the peak pressure on the tank wall is extracted by threshold values. To predict the peak pressure, the numerical simulation is also conducted using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and the peak values are compared with the experimental results. Furthermore, pressure and velocity fields in the tank and free-surface shape are analyzed at the moment of impact.

An investigation into the effect of corner cuts on the Strouhal number of rectangular cylinders with various dimensional ratios and various angles of attack is described. The Strouhal number given as a function of corner cut size is obtained directly from the aerodynamic behavior of the body in a uniform flow through a series of wind-induced vibration tests. For a quick verification of the validity of the Strouhal numbers obtained in this way, they are compared with the approximated the Strouhal numbers based on Shiraishi's early research. The test results show that the Strouhal number of the model with various corner cuts has a fluctuating trend as the angle of attack changes. For each cutting ratio as the angle of attack increases at each cutting ratio above $15^{\circ}$, the Strouhal number decreases gradually, and these trends are more evident for larger corner cut sizes. However, a certain corner cut size which is effective in reducing the wind-induced vibration can be identified by larger Strouhal numbers than those of other corner cut sizes. Three distinct characteristics of Strouhal number variation can be identified in three regions which are termed as Region I, II, and III based on the general trend of the test results. It is also found that the corner cut is effective in one region (Region-II) and less effective in another one (Region-III) when only the vortex-induced vibration occurs.
