For the goal of the proposal for optimum position of offset outrigger system, a structural schematic design of 70 stories building was carried out, using the general structure analysis program of MIDAS-Gen. In this research, the primary factors of this analysis research were the shear wall stiffness, the frame stiffness, the outrigger stiffness, the stiffness of column linked in outrigger system, etc. To achieve the aim of this study, we analyzed and studied the lateral displacement in top level, the force distribution of outrigger, the existing model of optimal outrigger location, and so on. This paper proposed the optimal position of offset outrigger system. Furthermore it is considered that the study results can be useful in getting the structure engineering data for seeking the optimal position of offset outrigger in the tall building.

In this study, we analyzed a two-dimensional Stokes flow through a microchannel containing projections with constant spacing attached to each wall. The projections on the top and bottom walls were semi-circular in shape, with in-phase locations. By considering the periodicity and symmetry of the flow, the eigenfunction expansion and least squared error method were applied to determine the stream function and pressure distribution. For some typical radius and spacing values, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions in the flow field are shown, and the shear stress distributions on the boundary walls are plotted. In addition, the average pressure gradients in the microchannel are also calculated and shown with the radius and spacing of the projections. In particular, the results for the case of extremely small gaps between the projections on the top and bottom walls are in good agreement with the lubrication results.

This was performed to investigate the antiulcer effects of Aloe vera on the stomach ulcer induced by restraint and water-immersion stress in rats. For this experiment, 60 male Sprague-Dawley strain were used. The experimental groups were divided into five: a control(CA) and 4 aloe treatment groups. Each dose of aloe was 50 mg/kg BW(AA), 100mg/kg BW(AB), 200 mg/kg BW(AC), and 400 mg/kg BW(AD). The rats were allocated to each group by 12 and observed for 4 weeks. The results are as following. 1. The stomach surface pH in each group showed no significant difference, byt the values of aloe treatment groups were higher than the value of the control group. 2. The gastric wall mucus was significantly increased in all aloe treatment groups(p<0.05) compared with the control group. Especially in AC and AD group the differences were higher(p<0.01). 3. At shear rate rate 11.25, 45.0, 90.0, 225.0 sec-1, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were measured. Most of the values of aloe treatment groups were significantly low compared with those of the control group(P<0.05). 4. The ulcer index of aloe treatment groups were significantly low campared with control group(p<0.05). Especially in AC and AD group the differences were more significant(p<0.01). 5. Less severe ulcers were observed in AA and AB group than in the control group. Tissues of AC and AD group had only slight ulcers and necrosis of tissue was not observed in these groups. Especially in AD group, there was more mucus than other groups and it seemed that alove vera stimulated the epithelial regeneration. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the oral administration of Alove vera results in protection of stomach ulcer by stimulating the secretion of gastric mucus and the circulation of blood.

The mechanical strengths of buried lamellar tears located near the weld toe in the welded tee joints were evaluated in terms of the loss of load carrying capacity as a function of tear area. In static loading, the load carrying capacity was significantly reduced when tear intercepted over 10% of the cross-sectional area of the welded joints. However, the welded joints containing buried tears still failed at stresses over the yield strength of the base metal in the through-thickness direction in spite of the presence of tears up to 20-25% of the area. Fatigue strength of welded joints containing tears markedly reduced with increasing tear areas. Lehigh lamellar tearing test used in this study to produce speicmens was described in detail. The load carrying cpapacity in static loading was influenced by the reduction of supporting area whereas that in fatigue loading was influenced by the stress-concentration effects of lamellar tears and the reduction of supporting area. In bend tests, the pre-existing lamellar tears always grew up toward the weld toe. However, in fatigue loading, cracks grew up and down simultaneously form both the weld toe and the top of lamellar tears because of stress concentration. In fatigue loading, delaminations and decohesion of inclusion/matrix interface generated in multipass welds provided crack propagation paths and enhanced crack propagation because the tips of delaminations and deconhesios acted as stress raisers.

A numerical study is conducted on the optical fiber coating flow in a primary coating nozzle consisting of three major parts: a resin chamber, a contraction and a coating die of small diameter. The flow is driven by the optical fiber penetrating the center of the nozzle at a high speed. The axisymmetric two-dimensional flow and heat transfer induced by viscous heating are examined based on the laminar flow assumption. Numerical experiments are performed with varying the convergent angle of nozzle contraction and the optical fiber drawing speed. The numerical results show that for high drawing speed greater than 30 m/s, there is a transition in the essential flow features depending on the convergent angle. For a large convergent angle greater than $30^{\circ}$, unfavorable multicellular flow structures are monitored, which could be associated with wall boundary-layer separation. In the regime of small convergent angle, as the angle increases, the highest resin temperature at the exit of die and the coating thickness decrease but the sensitivity of coating thickness on drawing speed and the maximum shear strain of resin on the optical fiber increase. The effects of the convergent angle are discussed in view of compromise searching for an appropriate angle for high-speed optical fiber coating.

In this paper a computation of turbulent natural convection in enclosures with the elliptic-blending based differential and algebraic flux models is presented. The primary emphasis of the study is placed on an investigation of accuracy of the treatment of turbulent heat fluxes with the elliptic-blending second-moment closure for the turbulent natural convection flows. The turbulent heat fluxes in this study are treated by the elliptic-blending based algebraic and differential flux models. The previous turbulence model constants are adjusted to produce accurate solutions. The proposed models are applied to the prediction of turbulent natural convections in a 1:5 rectangular cavity and in a square cavity with conducting top and bottom walls, which are commonly used for validation of the turbulence models. The relative performance between the algebraic and differential flux model is examined through comparing with experimental data. It is shown that both the elliptic-blending based models predict well the mean velocity and temperature, thereby the wall shear stress and Nusselt number. It is also shown that the elliptic-blending based algebraic flux model produces solutions which are as accurate as those by the differential flux model.

A two-dimensional Stokes flow past a circular cylinder in a channel is analyzed. The circular cylinder is located at the center of the channel, and a plane Poiseuille flow exists upstream and downstream far from the circular cylinder. The Stokes approximation is used, and the flow is investigated analytically by using the eigenfunction expansion and the least square methods. From the analysis, the stream function and pressure distribution are obtained, and the pressure and shear stress distributions on the circular cylinder and channel wall are calculated. The additional pressure drop induced by the circular cylinder and the force exerted on it are calculated as functions of the length of the radius of the circular cylinder. For a typical length of the radius of the circular cylinder, the streamline pattern and pressure distribution are shown.

In image-based CFD modeling of carotid bifurcation hemodynamics, it is often not possible (or at least not convenient) to impose measured velocity profiles at the common carotid artery inlet. Instead, fully-developed velocity profiles are usually imposed based on measured flow rates. However, some studies reported a pronounced influence of inflow boundary conditions that were based on actual velocity profiles measured by magnetic resonance imaging which showing the unusual presence of a high velocity band in the middle of the vessel during early diastole inconsistent with a Dean-type velocity profile. We demonstrated that those velocity profiles were induced by the presence of modest secondary curvature of the inlet and set about to test whether such more "realistic" velocity profiles might indeed have a more pronounced influence on the carotid bifurcation hemodynamics. We found that inlet boundary condition with axisymmetric fully-developed velocity profile(Womersley flow) is reasonable as long as sufficient CCA inlet length of realistic geometry is applied.

The rotor blade is modeled using a composite box beam with arbitrary wall. The active constrained damping layers are bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the box beam to provide active and passive damping. A finite element model, based on a hybrid displacement theory, is used in the structural analysis. The theory is capable of accurately capturing the transverse shear effects in the composite primary structure, the viscoelastic and the piezoelectric layers within the ACLs. A reduced order model is derived based on the Hankel singular value. A linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is designed based on the reduced order model and the available measurement output. However, the LQG control system fails to stabilize the perturbed system although it shows good control performance at the nominal operating condition. To improve the robust stability of LQG controller, the loop transfer recovery (LTR) method is applied. Numerical results show that the proposed controller significantly improves rotor aeromechanical stability and suppresses rotor response over large variations in rotating speed by increasing lead-lag modal damping in the coupled rotor-body system.

This paper studies the aerodynamic performance that the vent mixer-new conceptual supersonic mixer-showed with its geometric characteristics. The hole is 2 mm with 2 mm's distance from the wall in case 1 and with no distance in case 2. In case 3 die hole is 1 mm. Case 1 and case 2 showed the same total pressure recovery ratio, of which the case 3 was lower than that. While cases 1-3 had the same reattachment length, the shear layer was thicker in cases 1 and 2 than in case 3. Within the recirculation zone, cases 1 and 2 had lower pressure loss and higher velocity gradient difference than case 3-they enhance mixing between air and fuel. Separation bubble which is developed by the inflow into the recirculation zone has a significant effect on the total pressure recovery ratio in the combustor. Also separation bubble influences pressure distributions and recirculation flows in the recirculation zone. Therefore, inflow rate of air into the recirculation zone mainly affects the performance of vent mixer.
