Large Eddy Simulations (LES) were carried out to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a rectangular cylinder with side ratio B/D=5 at Reynolds number Re=22,000 (based on cylinder thickness). Particular attention was devoted to the effects of velocity shear in the oncoming flow. Time-averaged and unsteady flow patterns around the cylinder were studied to enhance understanding of the effects of velocity shear. The simulation results showed that the Strouhal number has no significant variation with oncoming velocity shear, while the peak fluctuation frequency of the drag coefficient becomes identical to that of the lift coefficient with increase in velocity shear. The intermittently-reattached flow that features the aerodynamics of the 5:1 rectangular cylinder in non-shear flow becomes more stably reattached on the high-velocity side, and more stably separated on the low-velocity side. Both the mean and fluctuating drag coefficients increase slightly with increase in velocity shear. The mean and fluctuating lift and moment coefficients increase almost linearly with velocity shear. Lift force acts from the high-velocity side to the low-velocity side, which is similar to that of a circular cylinder but opposite to that of a square cylinder under the same oncoming shear flow.

Recently, a new seismic probe, called "MudFork", has been developed and can be utilized for accurate and easy measurements of shear wave velocities of soft soils. To expand its use to estimate undrained shear strength and density, correlations between those and shear wave velocity were being attempted. Cone penetration tests and a seismic test, using MudFork, were performed at a soft ground site near Incheon, Korea. Also, undisturbed samples were obtained and shear wave velocities of the samples were measured as well as undrained shear strength, using triaxial compression test and bender elements. A simple linear relationship between shear strength and shear wave velocity was obtained, and a tentative relationship between density and shear wave velocity was also defined.

Shear wave velocity was measured and grain size analysis was conducted on two core samples obtained in unconsolidated marine sediments of the western continental margin, the East Sea. A pulse transmission technique based on the Hamilton frame was used to measure shear wave velocity. Duomorph ceramic bender transducer-receiver elements were used to generate and detect shear waves in sediment samples. Time delay was calculated by changing the sample length from the transducer-receiver element. Time delay is 43.18 μs and shear wave velocity (22.49 m/s) is calculated from the slope of regression line. Shear wave velocities of station 1 and 2 range from 8.9 to 19.0 m/s and from 8.8 to 22 mis, respectively. Shear wave velocities with depth in both cores are qualitatively in agreement with the compared model〔1〕, although the absolute value is different. The sediment type of two core samples is mud (mean grain size, 8-9Φ). Shear wave velocity generally increases with sediment depth, which is suggesting normally consolidated sediments. The complicated variation of velocity anisotropy with depth at station 2 is probably responsible for sediment disturbance by possible gas effect.

Strength evaluation of soft soils is a formidable task because of difficulties in sampling, specimen preparation and setting in triaxial cells. In undrained triaxial testing, sampling disturbance, verticality of specimen and bedding effect give a great influence on shear strength measurements. In the other hand, shear wave measurements of specimens are less influenced by these factors. In this research, the bender elements were attached top cap and base pedestal of triaxial cell and shear wave velocities were measured. To initiate a methodology to evaluate shear strength indirectly by measuring shear wave velocity, a relationship between shear strength and shear wave velocity was developed with kaolinite specimens consolidated in the laboratory. Undrained shear strength turns out to increase linearly with shear wave velocity. Stress-strain curves can also be predicted with a hyperbolic model and shear wave measurements.

최근 암반구조물의 규모가 점차 대형.대단면화됨에 따라 암반 절리면이 자유면에 노출되는 경우가 빈번하게 발생할 수 있으며 지진, 발파와 같은 외부 동적 하중의 영향을 받을 가능성이 커지고 있으므로 다양한 동적 하중조건 하에서 암반 불연속면의 거동 특성 파악을 위한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전단속도의 변화에 따른 편평한 화강암 전단면의 마찰특성 변화를 알아보고자 다양한 조건하에서 직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 수행한 직접전단시험은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는데 첫 번째 시험에서는 시험이 수행되는 동안 각각 7가지의 일정한 전단속도로 전단변위가 발생되도록 하여 전단속도에 따른 마찰계수의 변화를 살펴보았으며, 두 번째 시험에서는 전단변위가 발생되는 중간에3가지 형태의 순간적인 전단속도 변화가 마찰특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 수직응력과 전단속도의 변화에 따른 편평한 화강암의 마찰계수 변화는 가해진 수직응력 수준에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 전단속도의 변화가 마찰거동에 영향을 미치기 시작하는 전이속도는 수직응력이 증가함에 따라 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전단속도가 느릴수록 stick-slip 거동에서의 응력 저하 폭이 커지는 경향을 보였다. 순간적인 전단속도 변화에 따른 정상 상태에서의 마찰계수 변화를 살펴본 결과 순간적인 속도의 증가에 따라 마찰계수가 감소하는 속도 연화 현상이 나타났으며, 느린 전단속도에서 전단속도의 변화에 따른 마찰계수의 감소폭이 빠른 전단속도에서의 변화에 따른 감소폭보다 더 큰 경향을 보였다.

Shear wave velocities of three selected sandy soils subject to drained triaxial compression test were continuously measured using the bender elements. The shear wave velocity during isotropic compression, as widely recognized, increased as confining pressure increased and they were correlated well. However, during drained shearing, the mean effective stress could no further provide a suitable correlation. The shear wave velocity during this stage was almost constant with respect to the mean effective stress. The vertical stress was found to be more favorable at this stage (since confining stress was kept constant). When sample was attained its peak stress, the shear wave velocity reduced and deviated from the previously existed trend line. This was probably caused by the non-uniformity induced by the formation of shear band. Subsequently, void ratios computed based on external measurements could not provide reasonable fitting to the initial stage of post-peak shear wave velocity. At very large strain levels after shear band formation, the digital images revealed that sample may internally re-arrange itself to be in a more uniform loose stage. This final stage void ratio estimated based on the proposed correlation derived during pre-peak state was close to the value of the maximum void ratio.

벤더엘리먼트가 장착된 삼축압축시험장비를 이용하여 모래에 대한 일련의 압밀배수시험을 수행하였다. 상대밀도 및 유효구속응력 조건을 달리하여 각각의 조건별 응력-변형률 관계를 측정하였으며, 압밀이 종료된 시점에서의 전단파 속도를 측정함으로써 전단파 속도와 간극비, 유효응력, 그리고 전단강도와의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 미소변형률에서의 전단파 속도로부터 계산된 최대전단탄성계수와 파괴 시의 축응력과 압밀 시의 구속응력의 합으로 정의되는 유효수직응력간에는 고유한 상관관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 도출된 전단탄성계수와 유효수직응력간의 상관관계는 유효구속응력을 정규화시킴으로써 정확도를 향상시켰다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 상관관계를 통해 전단강도 및 내부 마찰각을 예측하였을 시, 실제 실내 시험을 통해 산출된 내부 마찰각을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 미소변형률에서의 전단파 속도를 기반으로 신뢰성 높은 파괴 시 전단강도, 나아가 내부 마찰각까지 예측이 가능하다는 것을 의미하며 기존 SPT-N value와 경험식을 통해 내부 마찰각을 예측하여 설계에 적용하는 방식의 불확실성을 개선해 줄 수 있는 매우 유용한 방법이라고 판단된다.

Shear modulus has been recognized as one of the important soil properties in dynamic analysis of ground and can be calculated from in situ measurement of shear wave velocity. Field seismic tests are the most accurate but expensive methods to investigate dynamic ground characteristics. Due to that reason, empirical equations for estimating the shear wave velocity are widely used rather than conducting in-situ tests. The most common equations are based on the N value obtained in conjuctions with a standard penetration test. In this paper, the field datas of standard penetration test and suspension PS logging measured in 126 sites of Korea were summarized and the correlation equations between N value and shear wave velocity are suggested.

The periodicity of the physiological flow has been the major interest of analytic research in this field up to now Among the mechanical forces stimulating the biochemical reaction of endothelial cells on the wall, the wall shear stresses show the strongest effect to the biochemical product. The objective of present study is to find the effects of velocity waveform on the wall shear stresses and pressure distribution along the artery and to present some correlation of the velocity waveform with the clinical observations. In order to investigate the complex flow phenomena in the bifurcated tube, constitutive equations, which are suitable to describe the rheological properties of the non-Newtonian fluids, are determined, and pulsatile momemtum equations are solved by the finite volume prediction. The results show that pressure and wall shear stresses are related to the velocity waveform of the physiological flow and the blood viscosity. And the variational tendency of the wall shear stresses along the flow direction is very similar to the applied sinusoidal and physiological velocity waveforms, but the stress values are quite different depending on the local region. Under the sinusoidal velocity waveform, a Newtonian fluid and blood show big differences in velocity. pressure, and wall shear stress as a function of time, but the differences under the physiological velocity waveform are negligibly small.
