하천에서 점착성 유사의 부유사는 입자 표면의 전자기적, 생화학적 점착력과 충돌에 의해 플럭(Floc)을 형성하고 응집된 플럭은 하천의 흐름 및 난류에 의해 파괴되기도 한다. 이 과정을 응집현상이라고 한다. 하천의 점착성 유사는 보통 플럭의 형태를 띠며 응집현상으로 인해 플럭의 밀도와 크기는 지속적으로 변화한다. 일반적으로 변화하는 플럭의 크기는 높은 질량 농도에서 증가한다고 알려져 있다(McAnally and Mehta, 2000; Maggi et al., 2007). 하지만 현장 연구에서 실측된 자료들은 종종 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 경향을 보여준다(Gartner et al., 2001; Fettweis et al., 2006; Todd, 2014). 이에 따라 본 연구는 현장의 실측 자료가 일반적인 연구와 다르게 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 현상을 규명하기 위해 점착성 유사의 이동을 모의하는 1차원 연직 수치 모형으로 수치 실험을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석한다. 수치 실험은 현장연구와 조건이 비슷한 이상적인 조류조건과 정류상태의 한 방향 흐름(Current Flow)을 함께 발생시키고 점착성 유사의 특징인 응집현상을 고려하였다. 모의 결과, 실측 자료와 같이 총 모의 수심 중 하상과 가까운 측정 수심에서는 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 측정 수심이 수표면 쪽으로 갈수록 플럭 크기와 농도가 비례하는 현상을 보였다. 이와 같이 서로 다른 두 가지 결과를 분석하기 위해 플럭의 크기를 결정하는 대표적인 매개변수인 농도와 난류의 강도를 나타내는 난류소산매개변수(Turbulent shear, G)를 가지고 새로운 매개변수를 만들었다. 플럭의 크기를 결정하는 방정식에서 농도는 응집의 과정에 G는 응집과 파괴의 과정에 관여한다고 알려져 있다. 새로운 매개변수로 총 모의 수심에 걸쳐 분석한 결과 하상에서 수표면 쪽으로 갈 때 난류와 농도 모두 줄어들지만 파괴와 응집의 우세를 나타내는 매개변수가 도치되는 현상을 보였다. 즉 하상부근의 강한 난류와 높은 농도가 응집현상을 만들지만 농도는 응집현상에, 난류는 응집과 파괴 모두 관여하므로 상대적으로 농도와 난류가 만들어내는 응집보다 난류가 만드는 파괴가 강할 때 플럭의 크기가 줄어드는 것으로 예측된다. 이에 따라 점착성 유사의 플럭 크기를 예측할 때에는 플럭의 크기가 농도와 선형의 관계를 가지는 것이 아닌 농도와 난류가 함께 작용하는 비선형 관계임을 고려해야 한다.

Electroosmosis (EO) is the movement of water in a porous medium under the influence of a direct current (dc). In past decades, electro-osmosis has been successfully employed in many soil improvement and other geotechnical engineering projects. Metal electrodes, such as steel, copper and aluminum have been used traditionally to conduct current. The shortcoming of these electrodes is that they corrode easily during an EO treatment, which results in reduced effectiveness and environmental concerns. More recently, conductive polymers are developed to replace metal electrodes in EO treatment. Electrical vertical drainages (EVDs) are one of these products under trial. The goal of this study is to assess the performance of EVDs for soil improvement and to further understand the scientific principle of the EO process, including the voltage drop at the soil-EVD interface, electrical current density, polarity reversal, and changes in soil physico-chemical properties generated by electroosmosis. It is found from the study that after 19 days of EO treatment with a constant applied dc electric field intensity of 133 V/m, the soil's moisture content decreased by 28%, the shear strength and pre-consolidation pressure increased more than 400%. It is also found that the current density required triggering the water flow in the soil tested, the Korean Yulchon marine clay, is 0.7 $A/m^2$. The project demonstrates that EVDs can serve as both electrodes and drains for soil improvement in short term. However, the EVDs, as tested, are not suitable for polarity reversal in EO treatment and their service life is limited to only 15 days.

A compression to tensile load transforming (CTT) device was developed to determine indirect tensile strength of concrete material. Before CTT test, Particle flow code was used for the determination of the standard dimension of physical samples. Four numerical models with different dimensions were made and were subjected to tensile loading. The geometry of the model with ideal failure pattern was selected for physical sample preparation. A concrete slab with dimensions of $15{\times}19{\times}6cm$ and a hole at its center was prepared and subjected to tensile loading using this special loading device. The ratio of hole diameter to sample width was 0.5. The samples were made from a mixture of water, fine sand and cement with a ratio of 1-0.5-1, respectively. A 30-ton hydraulic jack with a load cell applied compressive loading to CTT with the compressive pressure rate of 0.02 MPa per second. The compressive loading was converted to tensile stress on the sample because of the overall test design. A numerical modeling was also done to analyze the effect of the hole diameter on stress concentrations of the hole side along its horizontal axis to provide a suitable criterion for determining the real tensile strength of concrete. Concurrent with indirect tensile test, the Brazilian test was performed to compare the results from two methods and also to perform numerical calibration. The numerical modeling shows that the models have tensile failure in the sides of the hole along the horizontal axis before any failure under shear loading. Also the stress concentration at the edge of the hole was 1.4 times more than the applied stress registered by the machine. Experimental Results showed that, the indirect tensile strength was clearly lower than the Brazilian test strength.

In spite of some problems in processability and bondability, Au wires in the microelectronics industry are gradually being replaced by copper wires to reduce the cost of raw material. In this article, the effects of surface roughness enhanced capillaries on thermosonic Cu wire bonding were evaluated. The roughness-enhanced zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) capillaries were fabricated via a thermal grooving technique. As a result, the shear bond strength of first bonds (ball bonds) bonded using the roughness-enhanced capillary was enhanced by 15% as compared with that of normal bonds due to more effective plastic deformation and flow of a Cu ball. In the pull-out test of second bonds (stitch bonds), processed at two limit conditions on combinations of process parameters, the bond strength of bonds formed using the roughness-enhanced capillary also resulted in values higher by 55.5% than that of normal bonds because of the increase in the bonding area, indicating the expansion of a processing window for Cu wire bonding. These results suggest that the adoption of roughness-enhanced capillaries is a promising approach for enhancing processability and bondability in Cu wire bonding.

The suppression of high-intensity blob structures in the scrape-off layer (SOL) by ion-cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) power, leading to a decrease in the turbulent fluctuation level, is observed first in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) experiment. This suppression effect from ICRF power injection is global in the whole SOL at EAST, i.e. blob structures both in the regions that are magnetically connected to the active ICRF launcher and in the regions that are not connected to the active ICRF launcher could be suppressed by ICRF power. However, more ICRF power is required to reach the full blob structure suppression effect in the regions that are magnetically unconnected to the active launcher than in the regions that are magnetically connected to the active launcher. Studies show that a possible reason for the blob suppression could be the enhanced E_r × B shear flow in the SOL, which is supported by the shaper radial gradient in the floating potential profiles sensed by the divertor probe arrays with increasing ICRF power. The local RF wave power unabsorbed by the core plasma is responsible for the modification of potential profiles in the SOL regions.

The development of radish collectors has the potential to increase radish yields while decreasing the time and dependence on human labor in a variety of field activities. Stress and fatigue analyses are essential to ensure the optimal design and machine life of any agricultural machinery. The objectives of this research were to analyze the stress and fatigue of major components of a tractor-mounted radish collector under dynamic load conditions in an effort to increase the design dependability and dimensions of the materials. An experiment was conducted to measure the shaft torque of stem-cutting and transferring conveyor motors using rotary torque sensors at different tractor ground speeds with and without a load. The Smith-Watson-Topper mean stress equation and the rain-flow counting technique were utilized to determine the required shear stress with the distribution of the fatigue life cycle. The severity of the operation was assessed using Miner's theory. All running conditions produced more than 10⁷ of high cycle fatigue strength. Furthermore, the highest severity levels for motor shafts used for stem cutting and transferring and for transportation joints and cutting blades were 2.20, 4.24, 2.07, and 1.07, and 1.97, 3.81, 1.73, and 1.07, respectively, with and without a load condition, except for 5.24 for a winch motor shaft under a load. The stress and fatigue analysis presented in this study can aid in the selection of the most appropriate design parameters and material sizes for the successful construction of a tractor-mounted radish collector, which is currently under development.

이 연구에서는 침수식생 조건에서 식생 형태 별 frontal area, solid volume fraction이 유속 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 흐름측정결과로부터 식생 형태에 따른 난류흐름특성을 분석하기 위하여 수행 되었다. 식생흐름 구현을 위하여 5 cm의 간격으로 총 257개의 모형식생을 전체 영역에 배치했다. 유속측정위치는 수위측정결과에 따라 흐름이 안정화되는 구간에서 연직방향으로 17개 지점에서 측정한 후 앙상블 평균하여 분석했다. Branch의 유무에 따라 Type I과 II로 구분하여 각 식생에 대해 유속의 연직분포를 측정한 결과, Branch가 없는 Type I에서는 유속이 지속적으로 감소하는 반면, Type 2에서는 Frontal area가 급격히 증가하는 Branch 구간에서 유속이 급격히 감소한 후 Trunk 구간에서 유속이 다시 증가하는 변화를 보였다. Velocity Spectrum 분석 결과, 모든 지점에 대해 평균한 결과 고주파수 영역에서 -5/3 law를 따르는 것으로 나타나 전체 영역에서 isotropic & homogeneous 난류흐름이 발생함을 확인했다. 난류흐름특성 계산결과, Turbulent kinetic energy(k)를 mean kinetic energy(K)로 무차원화하여 연직분포를 비교했을 때 -k/K는 모두 식생에 근접하며 증가했다. Shear production(P_s)의 계산결과로부터 전단흐름에 의한 난류운동에너지 생성영향분석결과, Type I과 II가 식생경계의 mixing interface 부근에서 급격히 증가하는 분포를 보였으며, 이는 시간평균유속분포에서 분석한 결과와 일치한다. Wake production(P_w)의 연직분포계산결과, P_s와 유사하게 식생경계 부근에서 상승하는 결과가 나타났으며, 이는 식생경계에서 발생하는 Large scale eddy로 인해 발생함을 알 수 있다. 마지막으로 x-방향 난류확산계수로부터 scale factor(α_x)의 연직분포를 계산한 결과, 식생경계부근의 mixing interface에서 증가한 후 식생영역 내에서 감소하는 분포를 나타냈다. z-방향 난류확산 계수의 scale factor(α_z)는 α_x에 비해 작게 계산되었다. 이러한 결과는 오염물질의 연직확산이 식생경계에서 증가한 후 식생 내부에서 감소하여 오염물질, 부유사 등의 축적이 이뤄질 것으로 예상된다. 이는 가지로 인해 식생저항이 증가할 경우 용존성 물질의 혼합이 감소하여 식생의 저장대 효과가 증가함을 의미한다.

In this investigation, the interaction between opening space and neighboring joint has been examined by experimental test and Particle flow code in two dimension (PFC2D) simulation. Since, firs of all PFC was calibrated using Brazilian experimental test and uniaxial compression test. Secondly, diverse configurations of opening and neighboring joint were provided and tested by uniaxial test. 12 rectangular sample with dimension of 10 cm*10 cm was prepared from gypsum mixture. One quarter of tunnel and one and or two joint were drilled into the sample. Tunnel diameter was 5.5 cm. The angularities of joint in physical test were 0°, 45° and 90°. The angularities of joint in numerical simulation were 0°, 30°, 60°, -30°, -45°, -60° and its length were 2cm and 4cm. Loading rate was 0.016 m/s. Tensile strength of material was 4.5 MPa. Results shows that dominant type of crack which took place in the model was tensile cracks and or several shear bands develop within the model. The Final stress is minimum in the cases where oriented angle is negative. The failure stress decrease by decreasing the joint angle from 30° to 60°. In addition, the failure stress decrease by incrementing the joint angle from -30° to -60°. The failure stress was incremented by decreasing the number of notches. The failure stress was incremented by decreasing the joint length. The failure stress was incremented by decreasing the number of notches. Comparing experimental results and numerical one, showed that the failure stress is approximately identical in both conditions.

하천 합류부의 흐름거동은 단일 하천 흐름거동에 비해 복잡한 흐름 특성을 나타낸다. 하천의 본류와 지류가 만나는 합류지점에서는 유량비, 합류각의 변화에 따라 전단면(shear plane), 재순환류(recirculation zone)가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 하천 합류부의 복잡한 흐름특성은 하상의 침식 또는 퇴적을 야기할 수 있고, 수심의 변화, 수생태 변화 등을 일으켜, 하천환경 변화에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 흐름해석모형 HDM-2D를 이용하여 하천합류부에서 2차원 흐름 모의를 수행하였으며, 합류각의 변화에 따른 흐름특성 변화를 분석했다. HDM-2D 흐름모의 결과의 검증을 위해 90° 각도의 합류수로에 대한 Weber et al.(2001)의 실험결과를 이용했다. 그 결과, 합류지점 하류에서 발생하는 재순환류 및 수위하강, 유속의 변화 등의 수치모의결과가 실험결과와 유사한 변화를 나타냈다. 지류 합류 각도의 변화에 따른 하류 흐름변화를 비교하기 위해 3가지 합류부 각도(30°, 45°, 60°)에 대해 흐름모의를 수행했다. 합류지점의 흐름특성을 분석하기 위해 합류지점의 계산격자를 세밀하게 구성했다. 합류지점 하류에서 발생하는 재순환류의 길이와 최대 폭의 변화로부터 재순환류 발생면적을 계산하였으며, 합류각도의 변화에 따른 흐름특성을 비교 분석 하였다. 흐름모의 결과, 본류와 지류의 합류각이 30°일 때 합류부 내측의 재순환류가 거의 발생하지 않았으며, 합류각이 45°이상일 때 합류각 증가에 따라 재순환류의 폭과 너비가 증가하는 결과를 나타냈다. 또한 합류각 증가에 의해 재순환류 발생 면적이 증가함에 따라 합류부 하류의 수심이 더 큰 폭으로 감소하는 결과를 나타냈다.
