In the present study, the flow characteristics of developing turbulent flows are investigated at the exit region of a square cross-sectional 180" curved duct with dimensions of 40mm$\times$40mm$\times$4000mm (height $\times$ width $\times$length). Smoke particles produced from mosquito coils were used as seed particles for the LDV measurement. Experiments were carried out to measure axial velocity profiles, shear stress distributions and entrance lengths by using an LDV system and Rotating Machinery Resolver RMR with PHASE software. Experimental results clearly show that the time-averaged Reynolds number does not affect oscillatory flow characteristics because the turbulent components tend to balance the oscillatory components in the fully developed flow region. Also, the velocity profiles are in good agreement with 1/7power law such as the results of steady turbulent flows. The turbulent intensity linearly increases along the walls and is slightly higher, especially in the period of deceleration. On the other hand, the LDV measurements show that shear stress values in slightly higher in the period of deceleration due to the flow characteristics in the exit region. The entrance length where flows become stable appears at the point that is 40 times the length of hydraulic diameter.eter.

We propose the crack growth rate equation which applied over three regions (threshold region, stable region, unstable region) of fatigue crack propagation. Constant stress amplitude fatigue tests are conducted for four materials under three stress ratios of R=0.05, R=0.2 and R=0.4. Materials which have different mechanical properties i.e. stainless steel, low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and aluminum alloy are used. The fatigue crack growth rate equation is given by $da/dN={\beta} (1-R)^{\delta}\({\DELTA}K-{\DELTA}K_t)^{\alpha} / (K_{cf}-K_{max})$${\alpha}, {\beta}$ , and ${\delta}$ are constants, and ${\Delta}K_t$ is stress intensity factor range at low ${\Delta}K$ region. The constants are obtained from nonlinear least square method. $K_{ef}$is critical fatigue stress intensity factor. The relation between half crack length and number of cycles obtained by integrating the crack growth rate equation is in agreement with the experimental data. It is also experimented with constant maximum stress and decreasing stress ratios, and the fatigue growth rate of each material is in accord with the proposed equation.

This paper utilizes social network analysis to examine the structural characteristics and trade dynamics of the renewable energy (hydropower, wind energy, and solar energy) trade network within the RCEP region from 2011 to 2020. The findings reveal: (1) The renewable energy trade network within the RCEP exhibits dynamism, heterogeneity, and an uneven development. The solar energy network is the most balanced and stable, while the wind energy network lags and shows marked fluctuations, with the hydropower network falling between these two. This demonstrates the diversity of energy trade within the region. (2) China, Singapore, and Japan are identified as the key exporting and importing countries, with Vietnam showing substantial growth potential. Individual analyses shed light on the stark disparities in trade status among nations, reflecting the diverse roles and future potential of member countries. (3) The QAP regression analysis reveals a significant influence of environmental pressure, particularly carbon dioxide emissions, on the renewable energy trade network. This study contributes to promoting environmental sustainability and energy security in the RCEP region and provides empirical evidence for global renewable energy trade strategies.

This study was carried out to analyse the landslide characteristics by ground investigation, borehole image processing system, field seismic test, laboratory test and ground stability analysis at the landsliding area occurred in Maeri, Sangdong-myeon, Gimhaesi, Gyeongsangnam-do. Region I needs to install data logger system to monitor a land displacement during the heavy rainfall events because the region can be liable to occur the land slide by land creeping. It is needed to restore rapidly, if the land displacement occurs in Region I. Region II needs to monitor and repair because of the possibility of slope failure by long-term soil loss. Region III needs constructions to remove ground runoff and ground water to be infiltrated from talus. Region IV where is a stable region, needs to be protected from land cutting or other man-made damage.

An empirical predictive relationship correlating bracketed duration to earthquake magnitude, site-to-source distance, and local site conditions (i.e. rock vs. stiff soil) for stable continental regions of North America is presented herein. The correlation was developed from data from 620 horizontal motions for central and eastern North America (CENA), consisting of 28 recorded motions and 592 scaled motions. The bracketed duration data was comprised of nonzero and zero durations. The non-linear mixed-effects regression technique was used to fit a predictive model to the nonzero duration data. To account for the zero duration data, logistic regression was conducted to model the probability of zero duration occurrences. Then, the probability models were applied as weighting functions to the NLME regression results. Comparing the bracketed durations for CENA motions with those from active shallow crustal regions (e.g. western North America: WNA), the motions in CENA have longer bracketed durations than those in the WNA. Especially for larger magnitudes at far distances, the bracketed durations in CENA tend to be significantly longer than those in WNA.

In this paper, we focus on optimization of a boron ($^{11}B$)-implanted n type Si epi substrate for obtaining near-zero temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) at temperature range from 25 to $125^{\circ}C$. The $^{11}B$-implantation on the N type-Si epi substrate formed isolation from the rest of the N-type Si by the depletion region of a PN junction. The TCR increased as the temperature of rapid thermal anneal (RTA) was increased at the temperature range from $900^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ for the $p^+$ contact with implantation at dose of $1E16/cm^2$, but sheet resistance of this film was decreased. After the optimization of anneal process condition, the TCR of $1126.7{\pm}30.3$ (ppm/K) was obtained for the $p^-$ resistor-COB package chips contained $p^+$ contact with the implantation of $5E14/cm^2$. This shows the potential of the $^{11}B$-implanted n type Si epi substrate as a resistor for pressure sensor in thermal stable environment applications..

Putting a conductive rod between rotating axial electrodynamic wheels composed of repetitive permanent magnets, three-axial magnetic forces generate on the conductive rod. It is possible to levitate and transfer the rod on space with the forces. However, the forces vary in direction and magnitude for a position of the rod between the electrodynamic wheels. Thus, the position influences the stability of the rod also. To guarantee the stability of a levitated object, the force acting on the object should have negative stiffness like a spring. So, we analyze the stable operating range of the conductive rod levitated by the axial wheels with the commercial finite element tool in this paper. Specially, as the pole number and the radial width of permanent magnets has much influence on the generated force and thereby the stable region, their sensitivities are analyzed also. The analytic result is compared with experimental result.

In this paper, we propose a stable active contour based tracking method which utilizes the bimodal segmentation technique to obtain a background color diminished image frame. The proposed method overcomes the drawback of the Mansouri model which is liable to fall into a local minimum state when colors appear in the background that are similar to the target colors. The Mansouri model has been a foundation for active contour based tracking methods, since it is derived from a probability based interpretation. By stabilizing the model with the proposed speed function, the proposed model opens the way to extend probability based active contour tracking for practical applications.
