A numerical scheme based on a mode superposition method is presented for the dynamic response analysis of a top-tensioned riser (TTR) under sheared current loads. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the TTR have been calculated analytically for a beam with a slowly varying tension and pinned-pinned boundary conditions at the top and bottom ends. The lift coefficients and corresponding amplitudes used to estimate the vortex-induced modal force and damping for each mode were predicted via iterative calculations based on the input and output power balancing concept. Here, the power-in regions were controlled by the normal distribution function, for which the center was coincident with the lock -in location by local vortex-shedding, and the range was defined by the constant standard deviation for the reduced velocity by the local current speed. Finally, dynamic responses such as root-mean-squared displacement and stress were calculated using the mode superposition technique. In order to verify the presented scheme, a numerical calculation was performed for a TTR under an arbitrary linearly sheared current and linearly varying tension. A comparison with the results of the existing software showed that the presented scheme could give reliable and feasible solutions. Case studies were performed to investigate the effects of various current loads and tensions.

Spot welding, namely a kind of electric resisting welding has been used widely in field of automobile and aircraft industries because of easiness to apply. Specimens used in this study was a mild steel of 1.2mm thickness and the electrode was a Cu-Cr alloy of 6mm diameter. The surface sheared of specimens after testing of tensile shear was observed by SEM(scanning electron microscope) after ultrasonic cleaning for 10min., and microstructures and grain size of all specimens were measured with using of O.M.(Optical microscope). By the means of measurement and observations of tensile shear load, fatigue strength and share surface, the weldability of spot welding was evaluated. When tensile shearing testing, fracture starting point in all specimens was took place at the bond between HAZ(Heat affected zone) and nugget. With increasing in number of layers, fatigue strength was decreased. With increasing in electric current, grain size in the HAZ became more fine.

본 논문에서는 볼륨렌더링을 위한 빠른 병렬 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이를 4,096개의 프로세서를 가진 MasPar MP-2범용병렬 컴퓨터에서 C 언어와 MPL(MasPar Programming Language)언어를 이용하여 구현하였다. 본 알고리즘은 현재 가장 빠른 순차 볼륨 렌더링 알고리즘으로 알려진 Lacroute의 Shear-Warp 알고리즘을 병렬화한 것이다. 본 병렬 알고리즘은 밀림변환 공간 분할 기법과 이전의 렌더링 단계에서 얻은 부하정보를 이용하여 다음 렌더링시 부하를 균형화하는 부하균형화 기법을 이용함으로써 통신 오버헤드를 줄이며, 연속길이부호화 기법에 의한 볼륨 데이터 구조를 이용함으로써 처리할 복셀의 수를 크게 줄인다. MasPar MP-23에서 $128\times128\times128$복셀로 구성된 인체 두뇌 볼륨 데이터세트에 대하여 실험한 결과 초당 3~4프레임의 속도로 렌더링하였으며 본 알고리즘의 확장성에 의하여 16,384개의 프로세서를 가진 MasPar MP-2 시스템에서는 초당 12~16프레임의 렌더링이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 더 큰 볼륨에 대해서도 최근의 SIMD 또는 MIMD 머신상에서는 초당 30~60프레임의 렌더링이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
