The structure and tensile properties of the unidirectionally solidified Al-33wt.%Cu alloy have been investigated. Casted Al-33wt.%Cu alloy was unidirectionally solidified with rates (R) between 1㎝/hr and 24cm/hr maintaining the thermal gradient(G) at solid-liquid interface, $32^{\circ}C/cm$ and $21^{\circ}C/cm$. The entectic struture was varied according to the growth condition(G/R radio). When G/R ratio was larger than $8.5{\times}10^3$ $^{\circ}C/cm^2/sec$ the lamellar structure was formed, and colony structure was formed when G/R ratio was smaller than $8.5{\times}10^3$ $^{\circ}C/cm^2/sec$. The interlamellar spacing(${\gamma}$) in the above alloy system was vaired with the growth rate(R) According to "${\gamma}^2{\cdot}R＝8.8{\times}10＾{-11}cm^2/sec$" relationship. The yield stress (${\sigma}$0.001) and UTS for samples in the as-grown condition increased with the interlamellar spacing decrease and the values corresponding to colony structure are lower than those corresponding to amellar structure with the same lamellar spacing. The yield stress for samples in aged condition did not change with the interlamellar spacing.

Field studies were conducted with kusabue variety and factorial design of 12 treatments composed of 3 levels, 10 kg, 15 kg and 20 kg of N per 10 a , and 4 levels of 80, 100, 120, and 140 hills per $3.3m^2$ plot in reclaimed slaty area having an average of 0.48% salt concentration. The law of spacing effect was observed in the increase of the number of stems at any application levels of N, and the increased N application exceeding 15 kg N per 10 a did not increase the number of stems in maximum tillering stages. The light recieving efficiency of plant population was greatly reduced by close planting when compared with the effect of increased N applications in heading stage. The spacing effect on the C/F ratio was not noted but was reduced markedly by the increased N applications, accordingly the spacing effect on rough rice yields to the LAI was less than by the increase N application. Closer spacing increased the number of panicle, and non-effective stems, decreased the number of grains per panicle and panicle weight. The increased N applications also increased the number of panicle, reduced the weight of 1,000 grains and the ratio of matured grains. It was recommended to plant 100 hills per $3.3m^2$ with the application of 15 kg N per 10 a in the reclaimed salty area of Korea.

This study was carried out to obtain basic information on racking resistance of shear walls and the factors affecting racking resistance of shear walls. Shear walls constructed by larch lumber nominal 50 mm × 100 mm framing and various sheathing materials were tested by applying monotonic and cyclic load functions. Shear walls with various stud spacing such as 305 mm, 406 mm, and 610 mm were tested under both of monotonic and cyclic loads and shear walls with various aspect (height-width) ratios were tested under cyclic load functions. The effect of hold-down connectors in shear walls was also tested under cyclic load functions. Racking resistance of shear walls has very close linear relation with stud spacing and width of shear walls. The ultimate racking strength of shear walls was reached at around or before the displacement of 20 mm. It was proposed in this study that the minimum racking strength and minimum width for shear wall be 500 kgf and 900 mm, respectively. Load-displacement curves obtained by racking tests under monotonic load functions can be represented by three straight line segments. Under cyclic load functions, envelope curves can be divided into three sections that can be represented by straight lines and the third section showed almost constant or decreasing slope.

Myocardial tagging technique such as spatial modulation of magnetization (SPAMM) allows the study of myocardial motion with high accuracy. However, the accuracy of the estimation of tag intersection can be affected by tagline spacing. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between tagline spacing of SPAMM image and tagging contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in in-vivo study. Two healthy volunteers were undergone electrocardiographically triggered MR imaging with SPAMM-based tagging pulse sequence at a 1.5T MR scanner. Horizontally modulated stripe patterns were imposed with a range from 3.6 to 9.6 mm of tagline spacing. Images of the left ventricle(LV) wall were acquired at the mid-ventricle level during cardiac cycle with FE-EPI (TR/TE = 5.8/2.2 msec, FA= 10$^{\circ}$. Tagging CNR for each image was calculated with a software which developed in our group. During contraction, tagging CNR was more rapidly decreased in case of narrow tagline spacing than in case of wide tagline spacing. In the same heart phase, CNR was increased corresponding with tagline spacing. Especially, at the fully contracted heart phase, CNR was more rapidly increased than the other heart phases as a function of tagline spacing. The results indicated that the optimization of tagline spacing provides better tagging CNR in order to analyze the myocardial motion more accurately.

An open-spandrel arch bridges, which consists of slab deck, arch rib, and vertical members, shows a various level of moment and axial forces according to the supporting boundary condition of arch rib and vehicle speeds. Also, the definition of impact factor accepts any kind of response parameters, not only displacement response at slab deck. The present study considers concrete open-spandrel arch bridges constrained with fixed conditions at the ends of arch rib and investigates the impact factor variation due to moving load speeds, response parameters, measuring locations, and vertical member spacing ratio of the bridges. The results of Reference model show that the impact factor is biggest when the reactive moment resulted at the vehicle-inducing opposite end of the arch rib is applied. The peak impact factor is a similar level obtained for the middle of the span adjacent to the slab deck center, but it is 19% higher than the peak impact factor calculated using the axial force developed at the same location. Reducing the spacing ratio of the vertical members as half as the reference model whose ratio is 1/9.375 produces a similar level of the moment-based peak impact factor compared to the reference model. However, when the spacing ratio is doubled, the peak impact factor is 4.4 times greater than the reference model.

To analyzing the validity for using the stiffness ratio in evaluating edge stiffness effect of the composite girder bridges, modification factors are analyzed with changing girder spacing. The relation between stiffness ratio, loading type, girder spacing and modification factors is analyzed. From the results of comparing modification factors analyzed from the field loading test and the established design method with the modification factor analyzed from this study, it was concluded that evaluating the edge stiffness effect using stiffness ratio is possible.

The sewing machine is one of the oldest machine that has ever used, which is related with clothes' life. Modern sewing machines are divided into three groups by the sititch character, which are the lock stitch sewing machine group, the over lock sewing machine group and the specical sewing machine group. The lock stitch sewing machine have being used more than any others, which is also good model to study. This work is part of the improvement of an industrial lock stitch(ILS) sewing machine's design. The research objectives are the kinematic analysis and evaluations of stitch performance. The feed dog and the needle extreme's motion, which are important two part's motion in the sewing machine, are characterized by the stitch process and the needle trace. The needle trace is formulated as the stitch spacing, the stitch spacing's ratio(the static characteristic), and the stitch's phase difference(the dynamic characteristic). The tested ILS sewing machine is evaluated as a good static characteristic and a bad dynamic characteristic. Namely, a stitch spacing's ratio is 0.01~0.063(mm/mm) and a stitch's phase difference ratio is 0.06~0.13(mm/mm).

The present study numerically investigated the tube geometry and arrangement on the performance of a high temperature generator (HTG) of the double effect LiBr-water absorption system. FLUENT, as a commercial code, was used to estimate the thermal performance of the HTG. Key parameters were the spacing raito of circular and flattened tubes, the pitch ratio of the rib on the flattened tube, and total heat transfer area of the HTG. Temperature and velocity profiles around the tubes of the HTG were calculated to estimate the thermal performance of the HTG. When the spacing ratio of circular and flattened tube is 1.11 and 0.73, the exhaust gas temperature is $185^{\circ}C$ without rib. The exhaust gas temperature when applied the rib in flattened tubes was lower by $24^{\circ}C$ than that without the rib. Rib can reduce the HTG volume by 7%.

The detonation combustion is a supersonic combustion process follows on shock wave oscillations in detonation tube. In this paper numerical studies are carried out combined effect of blockage ratio and spacing of obstacle on detonation wave propagation of hydrogen-air mixture in pulse detonation combustor. The deflagration to detonation transition of stoichiometric (ϕ=1)fuel-air mixture in channel has been analyzed for effect of blockage ratio (BR)=0.39, 0.51, 0.59, 0.71 with spacing of 2D and 3D. The reactive Navier-Stokes equation is used to solve the detonation wave propagation mechanism in Ansys Fluent platform. The result shows that fully developed detonation wave initiation regime is observed near smaller vortex generator ratio of BR=0.39 inside the combustor. The turbulent rate of reaction has also a great significance role for shock wave structure. However, vortices of rapid detonation wave are appears near thin boundary layer of each obstacle. Finally, detonation combustor demonstrates the superiority of pressure gain combustor with turbulent rate of reaction of 0.6 kg mol/m3 -s inside the detonation tube with obstacle spacing of 12 cm, this blockage enhanced the turbulence intensity and propulsive thrust. The successful detonation wave propagation speed is achieved in shortest possible time of 0.031s with a significance magnitude of 2349 m/s, which is higher than Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) velocity of 1848 m/s. Furthermore, stronger propulsive thrust force of 36.82 N is generated in pulse time of 0.031s.

This paper is mainly concerned with the ship-bank interaction by model test. The experiments for the characteristics of hydrodynamic interaction forces and moments between vessel and bank with a mound were carried out in the seakeeping and maneuvering basin. A series of tests were carried out with ship model in parallel course along a vertical sidewall with a mound with varying lateral spacing between model ship and sidewall, length of sidewall and water depth. From the experimental results, it indicated that the hydrodynamic interaction effects increase as length of sidewall with a mound increases. Furthermore, for lateral spacing less than about 0.2L between vessel and bank, it can be concluded that the bank effects increase largely as the lateral spacing between vessel and bank decreases. However, for spacing between vessel and bank more than about 0.3L, the interaction effects increase slowly as lateral spacing decreases. Also, for the water depth to draft ratio(h/d) less than about 1.5, the hydrodynamic interaction effects increase dramatically as h/d decreases.
