  • Aqueous polymer solutions are known to have small pressure reduction. Paraffin slurries are known to have high thermal capacity. Paraffin particles are mixed into an aqueous polymer solution to make a new heat transfer fluid having high thermal capacity but low pressure reduction. The heat transfer characteristics of the new slurry was tested in a circular tube having a constant heat transfer boundary condition. The new slurry was found to have high Nusselt numbers as well as high thermal capacity and low pressure reduction in the laminar flow. The trends of the Nusselt numbers along the heating test section were studied for various heating conditions.

  • MR 유체 감쇠기는 구조물의 진동을 감소시키기 위한 가장 유망하고 새로운 제진 (制振) 장치 중 하나이다. 이 장치는 기계적인 단순성, 높은 동적 범위, 적은 전력 요구량, 커다란 감쇠 능력, 강인성 등의 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에, 토목 구조 시스템의 내진(耐震) 및 내풍(耐風) 성능을 향상시키는데 매우 유용하다. 많은 연구자들이 MR 유체 감쇠기의 유사-정적 모델을 연구했지만 그 모델이 감쇠기의 설계를 위해서는 유용하다고 하더라도, 동적 하중에 대한 감쇠기의 거동을 모사하는 데는 충분하지 않다. 논문에서는 대용량 20톤 MR 유체 감쇠기의 동적하중에 대한 응답 해석 결과를 이용하여, Bouc-Wen 모델을 기반으로 하는 새로운 역학적 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델은 MR 유체의 stiction현상과 관성 및 shear thinning 효과를 잘 묘사한다. 또한, 제안된 MR 유체 감쇠기의 동적 모델이 실험 결과와 매우 잘 일치함을 보였다.

  • Flow properties of traditional kochujang at various fermentation times(0~12 weeks) were determined with rotational cylindrical(RC) and serrated plate plate(PP) viscometer. Magnitudes of consistency index(K) of power law model and Cassson parameters(yield stress and viscosity) measured by PP viscometer were higher than those using RC viscometer. All kochujang samples during fermentation were much shear thinning with values of flow behavior index(n) as low as 0.2~0.34. K value and Casson yield stress measured by PP viscometer had good correlations(r=0.94; r=0.91) with fermentation time. No significant changes in flow model parameters measured by RC viscometer were observed for kochu jang during fermentation. Magnitudes of flow model parameters measured by PP viscometer more closely correlated with fermantation times of kochujang than did RC viscometer.

  • The melting behavior of hydrated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the rheological properties of hydrated PAN melt were investigated using DSC md modified capillary rheometer. With increasing the water content, Tm of the hydrated PAN was rapidly decreased and finally levelled off above a critical water content. However, the melt viscosity was further decreased even above the critical water content. The hydrated PAN melt showed a typical shear thinning behavior. In arrhenius plot, when the hydrated PAN melt was supercooled, it exhibited a different dependency on temperature from that above melting temperature.

  • 중량 평균 분자량이 1.22$\times$106이고 다분산도가 8.90이며 수분과 아밀로오스 함량이 각각 9.35%, 27%인 도토리 전분에 sucrose를 첨가하여 동적 유변학적 특성에 대한 온도와 농도의존성을 고찰하였다. AS(acorn starch)-sucrose 계의 점도는 전단속도가 증가하면 감 소하는 전단담화 현상을 나타내며 sucrose 농도가 증가할수록 점도가 증가하였고, Casson 식에 의해 얻어진 항복치는 sucrose 농도가 증가하면 증가하였다. 저장영률과 손실영률은 sucrose 농도가 증가하면 단일하게 증가하였고 손실 탄성률은 온도가 증가하면 감소하였다. DSC 측정자료를 zipper model에 적용시켜 본 결과 sucrose 농도가 증가할수록 zipper의 수 와 junc-tion zone의 수는 증가했으며 크기는 감소하였다. Sucrose는 전분과 수소결합을 형 성하여 용액내에서 가소제처럼 거동함을 알수있었다.

  • The effect of acetic acid concentration on the qualities of mayonnaise was studied. The rheological properties, emulsifying stability and color of the mayonnaise were determined by rotary viscometer, rotary shaker and centrifuge, and color and color difference meter, respectively. The rheological behavior of mayonnaise showed plastic behavior with yield stress and that of shear thinning. The yield stress and consistency index increased as the acetic acid concentration increased. The emulsion stability was lowest at 4% acetic acid concentration and highest at 1% acetic acid concentration. With the increase of the acetic acid concentration, lightness increased and yellowness decreased.

  • An electromagnetic acoustic transducer(EMAT) is a non-contact transducer which can transmit the ultrasonic guided waves into specimens without couplant. And it can easily generate specific guided waves such as SH(shear horizontal) or Lamb waves by altering the design of coil and magnet. In this study, the SH wave, which is generated by EMAT, has been applied to estimate the thickness-reduction in a steel plate. Especially, the interesting feature of the dispersive behavior in selected wave modes is used to detect the thickness-reduction. Experimental results show that the reduction-level can be quantified by the measurement of the group velocity of the wave which passes though the thinning area.

  • Repairing and strengthening structural members by bonding composite materials have received a considerable attention in recent years. The major problem when using bonded FRP or steel plates to strengthen existing structures is the high interfacial stresses that may be built up near the plate ends which lead to premature failure of the structure. As a result, many researchers have developed several analytical methods to predict the interface performance of bonded repairs under various types of loading. In this paper, a numerical solution using finite - difference method (FDM) is used to calculate the interfacial stress distribution in beams strengthened with FRP plate having a tapered ends under thermal loading. Different thinning profiles are investigated since the later can significantly reduce the stress concentration. In the present theoretical analysis, the adherend shear deformations are taken into account by assuming a parabolic shear stress through the thickness of both beam and bonded plate. The shear correction factor for I-section beams is also included in the solution. Numerical results from the present analysis are presented to demonstrate the advantages of use the tapers in design of strengthened beams.

  • Objective : The objective of this study was to analyze patient-specific blood flow in ruptured aneurysms using obtained non-Newtonian viscosity and to observe associated hemodynamic features and morphological effects. Methods : Five patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysms were included in the study. Patients' blood samples were measured immediately after enrollment. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was conducted to evaluate viscosity distributions and wall shear stress (WSS) distributions using a patient-specific geometric model and shear-thinning viscosity properties. Results : Substantial viscosity change was found at the dome of the aneurysms studied when applying non-Newtonian blood viscosity measured at peak-systole and end-diastole. The maximal WSS of the non-Newtonian model on an aneurysm at peak-systole was approximately 16% lower compared to Newtonian fluid, and most of the hemodynamic features of Newtonian flow at the aneurysms were higher, except for minimal WSS value. However, the differences between the Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow were not statistically significant. Rupture point of an aneurysm showed low WSS regardless of Newtonian or non-Newtonian CFD analyses. Conclusion : By using measured non-Newtonian viscosity and geometry on patient-specific CFD analysis, morphologic differences in hemodynamic features, such as changes in whole blood viscosity and WSS, were observed. Therefore, measured non-Newtonian viscosity might be possibly useful to obtain patient-specific hemodynamic and morphologic result.

  • Abandoned mines often cause environmental problems, such as alteration of landscape, metal contamination, and landslides due to a heavy rainfall. Geotechnical and rheological tests were performed on waste materials corrected from Imgi waste rock dump, located in Busan Metropolitan City. Debris flow mobility was examined with the help of 1-D BING model which was often simulated in both subaerial and subaqueous environments. To determine flow curve, we used a vane-penetrated rheometer. The shear stress (${\tau}$)-shear rate (${\dot{\gamma}}$) and viscosity(${\eta}$)-shear rate (${\dot{\gamma}}$) relationships were plotted using a shear stress control mode. Well-known rheological models, such as Bingham, bilinear, Herschel-Bulkley, Power-law, and Papanastasiou concepts, were compared to the rheological data. From the test results, we found that the tested waste materials exhibited a typical shear shinning behavior in ${\tau}$-${\dot{\gamma}}$ and and ${\eta}$-${\dot{\gamma}}$ plots, but the Bingham behavior is often observed when the water contents increased. The test results show that experimental data are in good agreement with rheological models in the post-failure stage during shearing. Based on the rheological properties (i.e., Bingham yield stress and viscosity as a function of the volumetric concentration of sediment) of waste materials, initial flowing shape (5 m, 10 m, and 15 m) and yield stress (100 Pa, 200 Pa, 300 Pa, and 500 Pa) were input to simulate the debris flow motion. As a result, the runout distance and front velocity of debris flow are in inverse propositional to yield stress. In particular, when the yield stress is less than 500 Pa, most of failed masses can flow into the stream, resulting in a water contamination.
