Joint roughness is combination of primary and secondary roughness. Ordinarily primary roughness is a geostatistical part of a joint surface that has a periodic nature but secondary roughness or unevenness is a statistical part of that which have a random nature. Using roughness generating algorithms is a useful method for evaluation of joint roughness. In this paper after determining geostatistical parameters of the joint profile, were presented two roughness generating algorithms using Mount-Carlo method for evaluation of primary (GJRGAP) and secondary (GJRGAS) roughness. These based on geostatistical parameters (range and sill) and statistical parameters (standard deviation of asperities height, SDH, and standard deviation of asperities angle, SDA) for generation two-dimensional joint roughness profiles. In this study different geostatistical regions were defined depending on the range and SDH. As SDH increases, the height of the generated asperities increases and asperities become sharper and at a specific range (a specific curve) relation between SDH and SDA is linear. As the range in GJRGAP becomes larger (the base of the asperities) the shape of asperities becomes flatter. The results illustrate that joint profiles have larger SDA with increase of SDH and decrease of range. Consequencely increase of SDA leads to joint roughness parameters such Z2, Z3 and RP increases. The results showed that secondary roughness or unevenness has a great influence on roughness values. In general, it can be concluded that the shape and size of asperities are appropriate parameters to approach the field scale from the laboratory scale.

An effective and precise method using a scanning white-light interferometer (SWLI) for three-dimensional surface measurements, in particular for roughness measurements, has been proposed. The measurement of a microscopically sloped area using an interferometer has limitations, due to the numerical aperture of the lens. In particular, for roughness measurements, it is challenging to obtain accurate height data for a sloped area using the interferometer, due to diffraction of the light. Owing to these optical limitations of the interferometer for roughness measurements, the Ra measurements performed using an interferometer contain errors. To overcome the limitations, we propose a method consisting of the following two steps. First, we evaluate the height data and set the invalid height area to be blank, using the characteristics of the modulus peak, which has a low peak value for signals that have low reliability in the interferogram. Next, we interpolate the blank area using the adjacent reliable area. Rubert roughness standards are used to verify the proposed method. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared to those obtained with a stylus profilometer. For the considered sinusoidal samples, Ra ranges from $0.053{\mu}m$ to $6.303{\mu}m$, and we show that the interpolation method is effective. In addition, the method can be applied to a random surface where Ra ranges from $0.011{\mu}m$ to $0.164{\mu}m$. We show that the roughness results obtained using the proposed method agree well with profilometer results. The $R^2$ values for both sinusoidal and random samples are greater than 0.995.

In this study, we estimated, the equivalent roughness using an estimation model, which considered grain distribution on the bed and the protrusion height of the grains. We also reviewed the appropriateness of the estimated equivalent roughness at the Goksung and Gurey station in the Seomjin River. To review the appropriateness of this model, we presented the water level-discharge relation curve applying the equivalent roughness to the flow model and compared and reviewed it to observed data. Also, we compared and reviewed the observed data by estimating the Manning coefficient n, the Chezy coefficient C, and the Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient f by the equivalent roughness. The calculation results of the RMSE showed within 5% error range in comparison with observed value. Therefore the estimated equivalent roughness values by the model could be proved appropriate.

The ball-end milling process is widely used in the die/mold industries, and it is very suitable for the machining of free-form surfaces. However, this process is inherently inefficient process to compared with the end-milling or face milling process, since it relays upon the machining at the cutter/surface contact point. The machined part is the result of continuous point-to-point machining on the free-form surface. And cusps (or scallops) remain at the machined part along the cutter paths and they give the geometrical roughness of the workpiece. Thus, for the good geometrical roughness of the workpiece, it is required very tightly spaced cutter paths in this ball-endmilling process. However, with the tight cutter paths, the geometrical roughness of the workpiece is not regular on the workpiece since the cusp height is variable in the previously developed ISO-parametric or Cartesian machining methods. This paper suggests a method of tool path generation which makes the geometrical roughness of workpiece be constant through the machined surface. In this method, Ferguson Surface design Model is used and cusp height is derived from the instantaneous curvatures. And, to have constant cusp height, an increment of parameter u or v is estimated along the reference cutter path. In ball-end milling experiments, the cusp pattern was examined, and it was proved that the geometrical roughness could be regular by suggested tool path generation method.

지형상대항법은 측정된 지형고도와 DEM(Digital Elevation Map)의 지형고도의 비교를 통해 위치보정이 이루어지는 시스템이다. 하지만 지형상대항법은 언덕과 같은 반복되는 지형과 같이 측정된 지형고도 프로파일과 후보 지형고도 프로파일이 유사할 때 다른 지형으로 오보정을 유발 할 수 있는 단점을 가지고 있어 항법 성능이 떨어지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 관심영역 안에 주변 지형의 유사한 정도를 판단하는 영역기반 지형 기울기 험준도 지수를 적용하였고[11], 영역기반 지형 곡률 험준도 지수를 제안하였다. 제안한 지형 험준도 지수의 성능 검증을 위하여 기존의 궤적기반 지형 험준도 지수와 영역기반 지형 험준도 지수를 달착륙선의 지형상대항법에 적용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 기존의 궤적기반 지형 험준도 지수를 고려하였을 때 보다 영역기반 지형 험준도 지수를 고려하였을 때 지형상대항법 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

산지하천에서 발생하는 돌발홍수는 특정 지점의 점(Point) 유속보다는 전체 구간의 평균 유속에 따라 이동속도가 결정되며, 구간 평균유속은 하천경사, 하상재료, 수리적 거칠기에 많은 영향을 받는다. 이 연구에서는 하천경사 및 거칠기 높이를 이용하여 산지하천의 구간 평균유속 추정방법을 개발하였다. 염료추적자법(Dye Tracing)을 이용하여 특정 구간의 평균유속을 측정하고, LiDAR 영상으로부터 하천 지형 및 형상을 추출하였다. 거칠기 높이를 산정하기 위해 표면 거칠기 변수(R_a, R_max, R_z )와 하상재료의 크기(D₅₀, D₈₄)를 이용하였다. 현장 계측자료로부터 무차원 접근법을 이용하여 구간 평균유속과 유량과의 관계식 v = 0.5499Q^0.6165 을 도출하였으며, R² =0.77의 설명력을 나타냈다. 이 연구에 이용된 5개의 거칠기 높이 중 평균 거칠기 높이(R_a)의 RMSE가 0.45로서 다른 거칠기 높이의 범위(0.47-1.04)보다 낮게 나타나 평균 거칠기 높이(R_a)가 구간 평균유속 산정을 위한 거칠기 높이 인자로 가장 적합하다고 판단되었다.

A quantitative analysis of a surface roughness for a precision machining of a sculptured surface in milling process is treated under superposition theory in this paper. The geometrical surface rouhgness is calculated as a function of feed per tooth, path interval, radii of tool and cutting edge, and radii of curvatures of workiece. Through machining experiments in a 3-axis machining center, we confirmed the adequacy of the adequacy of the analysis. While cutter mark is neglegible in ball endmilling, it is significant in flat endmilling. When feed per tooth is very small, flat endmilling gives superior finish to ball endmilling. In flat endmilling, cutting condition and cutter path should be strategically chosen to balance the cutter mark height and cusp height.

In the process of turbine modernizations, the investigation of the influences of water passage roughness on radial flow machine performance is crucial and validates the efficiency step up between reduced scale model and prototype. This study presents the specific losses per component of a Francis turbine, which are estimated by CFD simulation. Simulations are performed for different water passage surface roughness heights, which represents the equivalent sand grain roughness height. As a result, the boundary layer logarithmic velocity profile still exists for rough walls, but moves closer to the wall. Consequently, the wall friction depends not only on roughness height but also on its shape and distribution. The specific losses are determined by CFD numerical simulations for each component of the prototype, taking into account its own specific sand grain roughness height. The model efficiency step up between reduced scale model and prototype value is finally computed by the assessment of specific losses on prototype and by evaluating specific losses for a reduced scale model with smooth walls. Furthermore, surveys of rough walls of each component were performed during the geometry recovery on the prototype and comparisons are made with experimental data from the EPFL Laboratory for Hydraulic Machines reduced scale model measurements. This study underlines that if rough walls are considered, the CFD approach estimates well the local friction loss coefficient. It is clear that by considering sand grain roughness heights in CFD simulations, its forms a significant part of the global performance estimation. The availability of the efficiency field measurements provides an unique opportunity to assess the CFD method in view of a systematic approach for turbine modernization step up evaluation. Moreover, this paper states that CFD is a very promising tool for future evaluation of turbine performance transposition from the scale model to the prototype.

Electro-rheological(ER) fluid and valve are fabricated and evaluated experimentally in its durability to utilize the hydraulic control systems for long term operation. The two-ports ER valve used in the experiment consist of twelve parallel multi-layer electrodes and provide a restriction to the passage of ER fluid because of the viscous pressure drop and a component induced by the electric field. The durability test of ER valve are performed by measuring the surface roughness of electrodes with variation of an electric field strength and test time(1000 or 1800min.). Also, the shear stress and shear rate are measured to evaluate the durability of ER fluid as function of time. After durability test, ER shear stress increases approximately proportional to the shear rate with applied electric field intensity, In the ER valve, the center line average height roughness(Ra) of copper electrode increases about 1.56 times and ten-point median height roughness(Rz) increases about 2.2 times after the durability test. An understanding of these durability is essential to predicting the service life of ER fluid and valves.

지표면의 후방 산란 계수를 계산하는 지표면 산란 모델의 입력 변수로는 크게 수분함유량과 지표면 거칠기가 있고, 산란 계수 계산에 있어 지표면 거칠기의 영향이 수분함유량의 영향보다 크다. 본 연구에서는 지표면 거칠기의 정확한 측정 방법을 제기하고, 측정 오차를 분석한다. 이를 위하여 대표적인 지표면 거칠기 측정 장치인 pin-board profiler(1 m, 0.5 cm 간격)와 laser profiler(1 m, 0.25 cm 간격)를 이용하여 실제 지표면을 측정하였다. 두 측정 장치의 평균 차이는 유효 높이(RMS height)가 0.097 cm, 상관 길이(correlation length)가 1.828 cm이었다. 그리고 상관 함수, 상대오차를 분석한 결과, laser-profiler의 반복 측정에 대한 장치의 안전성이 더 좋았다. 두 측정 장치의 차이가 후방 산란 계수에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 지표면 산란 모델을 이용하여 비교한 결과, 입사각 $20{\sim}60^{\circ}$에서 1 dB 이하의 차이를 보였다.
