Based on the theory of porous media, an interaction system of a floating pile and a saturated soil in cylindrical coordinates subjected to vertical harmonic load is presented in this paper. The surrounding soil is separated into two distinct layers. The upper soil layer above the level of pile base is described as a saturated viscoelastic medium and the lower soil layer is idealized as equivalent spring-dashpot elements with complex stiffness. Considering the cylindrically symmetry and the pile-soil compatibility condition of the interaction system, a frequency-domain analytical solution for dynamic impedance of the floating pile embedded in saturated viscoelastic soil is also derived, and reduced to verify it with existing solutions. An extensive parametric analysis has been conducted to reveal the effects of the impedance of the lower soil base, the interaction coefficient and the damping coefficient of the saturated viscoelastic soil layer on the vertical vibration of the pile-soil interaction system. It is shown that the vertical dynamic impedance of the floating pile significantly depends on the real stiffness of the impedance of the lower soil base, but is less sensitive to its dynamic damping variation; the behavior of the pile in poro-visco-elastic soils is totally different with that in single-phase elastic soils due to the existence of pore liquid; the effect of the interaction coefficient of solid and liquid on the pile-soil system is limited.

The buckling capacity of a radially retractable hybrid grid shell in the closed position was investigated in this paper. The geometrically non-linear elastic buckling and elasto-plastic buckling analyses of the hybrid structure were carried out. A parametric study was done to investigate the effects rise-to-span ratio, beam section, area and pre-stress of cables, on the failure load. Also, the influence of the shape and scale of imperfections on the elasto-plastic buckling loads was discussed. The results show that the critical buckling load is reduced by taking account of material non-linearity. Furthermore, increasing the rise-to-span ratio or the cross-section area of steel beams notably improves the stability of the structure. However, the cross section area and pre-stress of cables pose negligible effect on the structural stability. It can also be found that the hybrid structure is highly sensitive to geometric imperfection which will considerably reduce the failure load. The proper shape and scale of the imperfection are also important.

We are developing a small-sized high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage (HTS-SMES) magnet with the nominal storage capacity of 600 kJ, which provides electric power with high quality to sensitive electric loads. Critical current and N-value of a high temperature superconductor with large current, which was selected for the development of the 600 kJ HTS-SMES magnet, were investigated in various oblique external magnetic fields. Based on the critical current and N-value measured for the short sample conductor, we discussed the DC V - I characteristic of a model coil fabricated with the same conductor of 500 m. The results show that the measured critical current and N-value of the conductor for parallel field are constant in external magnetic fields less than about 0.2 T. However, for oblique fields, its critical current and N -value abruptly decrease in all external magnetic fields. Moreover, the measured critical current of the model coil well agrees with the numerically calculated one based on the DC V - I characteristic measured for the short sample conductor. This suggest that losses and critical currents for an HTS-SMES magnet made up of a high temperature superconductor with anisotropic characteristic are predictable from the data of a short sample conductor.

대공간 구조는 3차원적인 힘의 흐름과 면내력에 의해 외부하중에 대한 저항능력을 확보하는 형태 저항형 구조로서, 구조물 자체의 곡률을 이용하여 면외방향으로 작용하는 외력을 주로 면내력으로 저항할 수 있게한 구조시스템이다. 그러므로, 연성구조물의 일종인 막구조물은 대공간 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 구축할 수 있다. 이러한 막구조물은 지진이나 고정하중에 의한 영향보다 바람의 의한 영향이 매우 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, 풍하중은 주변 환경 및 구조물의 형태에 따라 그 크기가 매우 다르게 나타난다. 본 논문에서는, 우리나라에서 풍하중의 영향을 가장 많이 받은 지역들 중에 건설된, 2개 경기장의 설계 풍하중과 풍동실험 결과값들을 비교 검토해 보고자 한다.

하중에 민감한 케이블을 사용하는 현수교의 기하학적 형상은 하중을 저항할뿐만 아니라 시지각적 실루엣이 된다. 이 연구에서는 정력학적 도해법이 지니는 두 가지 가능성을 이용해서 힘의 흐름을 따르는 현수교의 초기 구조형태계획법을 제시한다. 첫째, 힘다각형을 이용해서 동일한 힘에 대해서 다양한 하중경로를 모색할 수 있다. 둘째, 구조형태와 힘다각형 사이에 존재하는 상반원리를 이용해서 새로 형성된 하중경로에 대응하는 구조형태를 생성할 수 있다. 먼저 현수교의 구조적 및 미학적 측면에 영향을 미치는 주요 구조형태변수를 선정한다. 이러한 변수에 대해서 구조형태와 힘다각형의 상호관계를 분석한다. 이를 토대로 현수교의 초기 구조형태계획에 대한 일련의 설계과정절차들을 개발한다. 이 연구에서 제시하는 구조형태계획법은 유사 형태저항 구조시스템의 설계대안을 생성하는데 수월하게 확장해서 사용할 수 있다. 또한 구조형태와 힘의 흐름과의 상호관계를 설명하는 교육용 도구로도 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The use of clothes dryers is increasing in Korea and throughout Asia, because of preference for the drum type washer dryer. Clothes dryers consume more energy than almost any other home appliance. This paper suggests efficient ways for drying laundry with condensing clothes drier. We dried cotton fabrics with the condensing clothes dryers and observed the energy input, temperature and RH of the dryer during the drying process. In the early stages of drying process, the air temperature inside the clothes dryer decreased and the RH and the drying time increased as the weight of fabrics increased. We found that it was important to consider the total weight of the fabrics that included heat-sensitive fibers. It took more than half the drying time and the energy input for a 2.5 kg load that it did for a 5 kg load. Therefore, drying larger one load was more efficient than divided smaller loads, because increasing the weight of the fabrics reduced the energy input per kg of drying clothes. The lower the initial moisture regains of the fabrics were, the lower the energy input and the drying time were. The energy input for spinning after washing was much less than that for drying in the dryer. Consequently, it is more efficient to reduce the moisture content of the clothes by lengthening the spinning time of the washer to reduce the energy consumption and the drying time. During the drying process opening the door twice for 30 seconds each time lowered the air temperature and the RH of the dryer, but did not affect the moisture regain of the fabrics, the drying time, and the energy input.

In this study, the numbers, sizes of particles from a single cylinder direct injection spark-ignition (DISI) engine fuelled with gasoline and LPG are examined over a wide range of engine operating conditions. Tests are conducted with various engine loads (2~10bar of IMEP) and fuel injection pressures (60, 90, and 120 bar) at the engine speed of 1,500 rpm. Particles are sampled directly from the exhaust pipe using rotating disk thermodiluter. The size distributions are measured using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and the particle number concentrations are measured using a condensation particle counter (CPC). The results show that maximum brake torque (MBT) timing for LPG fuel is less sensitive to engine load and its combustion stability is also better than that for gasoline fuel. The total particle number concentration for LPG was lower by a factor of 100 compared to the results of gasoline emission due to the good vaporization characteristic of LPG. Test result presents that LPG for direct injection spark ignition engine help the particle emission level to reduce.

Modular steel scaffolds are commonly used as supporting scaffolds in building construction, and traditionally, the load carrying capacities of these scaffolds are obtained from limited full-scale tests with little rational design. Structural failure of these scaffolds occurs from time to time due to inadequate design, poor installation and over-loads on sites. In general, multi-storey modular steel scaffolds are very slender structures which exhibit significant non-linear behaviour. Hence, secondary moments due to both $P-{\delta}$ and $P-{\Delta}$ effects should be properly accounted for in the non-linear analyses. Moreover, while the structural behaviour of these scaffolds is known to be very sensitive to the types and the magnitudes of restraints provided from attached members and supports, yet it is always difficult to quantify these restraints in either test or practical conditions. The problem is further complicated due to the presence of initial geometrical imperfections in the scaffolds, including both member out-of-straightness and storey out-of-plumbness, and hence, initial geometrical imperfections should be carefully incorporated. This paper presents an extensive numerical study on three different approaches in analyzing and designing multi-storey modular steel scaffolds, namely, a) Eigenmode Imperfection Approach, b) Notional Load Approach, and c) Critical Load Approach. It should be noted that the three approaches adopt different ways to allow for the non-linear behaviour of the scaffolds in the presence of initial geometrical imperfections. Moreover, their suitability and accuracy in predicting the structural behaviour of modular steel scaffolds are discussed and compared thoroughly. The study aims to develop a simplified and yet reliable design approach for safe prediction on the load carrying capacities of multi-storey modular steel scaffolds, so that engineers can ensure safe and effective use of these scaffolds in building construction.

영구자석 동기전동기를 단위 전류 당 최대 토크 운전 점에서 운전하기 위해서는 전동기의 상전류 및 온도에 따라 변화하는 인덕턴스 및 역기전력 상수와 같은 전동기의 파라미터들에 대한 정확한 값을 알고 있어야 한다. 전동기 파라미터의 온라인 추정을 위한 적응 추정 기법은 정확한 값을 추정하는 데 어려움이 있고 복잡한 수학 연산을 필요로 하기 때문에 실질적인 응용에는 적합하지 못하다. 본 논문의 목적은 느린 동적 부하를 가지는 벡터 제어 영구자석 동기전동기 구동장치를 위한 단순한 단위 전류 당 최대 토크 운전 점 추적 제어 전략을 제안하는 것이다. 제안된 방식은 전류 위상각을 조절하고 지령 전력의 변화를 관측함으로써 단위 전류 당 최대 토크 운전 점들을 찾아간다. 전류 위상각 조절 전략은 부하 변동이 지령 전력에 미치는 영향을 감지할 수 있도록 설계된다. 따라서, 제안된 방식은 부하 변동에 관계없이 영구자석 동기전동기의 단위 전류 당 최대 토크 운전 점들을 추적할 수 있다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 효용성을 보인다.
