  • Effect of in-situ vibration on the properties of A-grade steel SMA weldment has been investigated. Welding was performed on the steel fixed at the experimental jig under the mechanical vibration of a given frequency. The applied frequency varied from 39 to 43.5 Hz (harmonic frequency). For weldments formed under the vibration with a sub-harmonic frequency, both the columnar width of the weld metal and the prior austenite grain size of the HAZ near the fusion line clearly decreased. This indicates that the vibration increase the cooling rate after welding. Vibration effect was also found at the weld metal formed at the center region of the weldment. The weld metal showed liner microstructure both in columnar zone and in equiaxed zone with thinner grain boundary ferrite. However mechanical properties of the weld metal did not exactly follow the microstructural changes developed under the vibration. The weld metal formed under the vibration revealed higher yield and tensile strength but lower ductility and impact toughness, compared with the conventional weld metal.

  • 본 논문에서는 나노영역의 고해상도 도핑 농도 측정 장비 개발을 위해 공핍 근사 조건하 복잡한 계산 영역에서 공핍 영역을 간단히 계산할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 개발된 공핍영역 계산 방법은 유한요소법을 이용한 적응분할 포아송 방정식 해석기를 사용하여 대전된 영역의 경계에서 전위가 0인 등고선과 일치하도록 하여 계산하는 방법이다. 이 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 계산된 대전영역 및 전위분포가 공핍영역의 정의에 맞는지 확인하였으며, pn 접합에서의 공핍영역 깊이 및 MOS 구조에서 정전용량을 계산하여 비교해 본 결과 이론치와 정확히 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 Pn 접합 및 MOS 에서 공핍영역 계산 검증을 바탕으로 나노영역의 탐침을 장착한 SCM에서 전압에 따른 실리콘 내의 공핍영역 모양과 전위를 분석하여, 정전용랑 모델링을 하였으며, 이로부터 CV 곡선과 SCM의 출력인 dC/dV곡선을 계산하였다.

  • This paper reports the development of a theoretically rigorous method for permanent way engineers to assess the condition of railway ballast under a concrete sleeper with the potential to be extended to a smart system for long-term health monitoring of railway ballast. Owing to the uncertainties induced by the problems of modeling error and measurement noise, the Bayesian approach was followed in the development. After the selection of the most plausible model class for describing the damage status of the rail-sleeper-ballast system, Bayesian model updating is adopted to calculate the posterior PDF of the ballast stiffness at various regions under the sleeper. An obvious drop in ballast stiffness at a region under the sleeper is an evidence of ballast damage. In model updating, the model that can minimize the discrepancy between the measured and model-predicted modal parameters can be considered as the most probable model for calculating the posterior PDF under the Bayesian framework. To address the problems of non-uniqueness and local minima in the model updating process, a two-stage hybrid optimization method was developed. The modified evolutionary algorithm was developed in the first stage to identify the important regions in the parameter space and resulting in a set of initial trials for deterministic optimization to locate all most probable models in the second stage. The proposed methodology was numerically and experimentally verified. Using the identified model, a series of comprehensive numerical case studies was carried out to investigate the effects of data quantity and quality on the results of ballast damage detection. Difficulties to be overcome before the proposed method can be extended to a long-term ballast monitoring system are discussed in the conclusion.

  • 최근 수확불변 하에서의 오염처리비용회피활동(pollution haven activities)에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔으나 수확체증 하에서의 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 1990년대 이후 수확체증 하에서의 교역이론이 산업 재배치에 대한 문제를 다루면서 수확체증과 오염처리비용회피활동 간의 관계를 살피는 것은 의미 있는 일이다. Davis (1998)가 발표한 수확체증 하에서의 자국시장효과(home market effect)에 대한 모형을 응용하여 환경정책이 산업 재배치에 주는 효과를 분석한 결과 시장규모가 적은 지역에서 오염물처리에 대한 책임을 생산자가 담당하는 지역과 시장규모가 크면서 오염물로 인한 비효용을 거주자가 감내하는 지역과의 교역상황에서 교역장벽이 높을 때 일부 공해산업에 대해 오염처리비용회피효과가 존재하나 교역장벽이 낮아지면서 공해산업뿐만 아니라 저공해산업에서도 산업의 지역이탈이 관찰되어 오염처리비용회피활동에 대한 식별이 힘들어지며 오염처리비용회피효과(pollution haven effect)뿐만 아니라 오염처리비용회피가설(pollution haven hypothesis)이 동시에 성립됨을 보일 수 있었다. 따라서 시장규모가 작으나 환경보전가치가 높아 환경규제가 강한 지역에서 환경보전과 지역경제발전을 동시에 도모하기 위해서는 오염처리기술의 생산성을 높이기 위한 활동이 필수적이다.

  • 콘크리트에 발생하는 변형률 국소화는 연화거동에 수반하여 변형이 국부적으로 집중되는 현상으로 이를 유한요소해석 할 수 있는 일관된 알고리즘을 개발하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 변형률 국소화현상이 발생한 콘크리트는 변형률이 집중되는 국소화영역과 그외의 영역인 비국소화영역으로 크게 구분할 수 있으며 국소화영역에서는 연화현상을 포함하는 탄소성거동을 하게 되며 비국소화영역은 손상제하거동을 수반하게 된다. 변형률 국소화현상이 진행중인 콘크리트의 국소화영역을 모델링하기 위하여 열역학적으로 정식화된 전형적인 소성모델에 콘크리트의 극한응력 이후에 비선형 연화로 표현되는 소성거동을 고려할 수 있는 일반화된 Drucker-Prager모델을 도입하였으며 소성이론식의 적분을 위해 return-mapping 알고리즘을 사용하고 일관된 알고리즘을 전개하였다. 또한, 콘크리트의 비국소화영역의 모델링을 위하여 열역학적 자유에너지함수를 수정하여 비선형 탄성 및 손상의 일관된 알고리즘을 전개하였다. 개발된 알고리즘에 의한 유한요소해석을 통해 압축을 받는 콘크리트 부재의 변형률 국소화 현상을 해석하였다.

  • Presence of torsional loadings can significantly affect the flow of internal forces and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. It increases the possibility of brittle shear failure leading to catastrophic collapse of structural members. This necessitates accurate prediction of the torsional behaviour of RC members for their safe design. However, a review of previously published studies indicates that the torsional behaviour of RC members has not been studied in as much depth as the behaviour under flexure and shear in spite of its frequent occurrence in bridge columns. Very few analytical models are available to predict the response of RC members under torsional loads. Softened truss model (STM) developed in the University of Houston is one of them, which is widely used for this purpose. The present study shows that STM prediction is not sufficiently accurate particularly in the post cracking region when compared to test results. An improved analytical model for RC square columns subjected to torsion with and without axial compression is developed. Since concrete is weak in tension, its contribution to torsional capacity of RC members was neglected in the original STM. The present investigation revealed that, disregard to tensile strength of concrete is the main reason behind the discrepancies in the STM predictions. The existing STM is extended in this paper to include the effect of tension stiffening for better prediction of behaviour of square RC columns under torsion. Three different tension stiffening models comprising a linear, a quadratic and an exponential relationship have been considered in this study. The predictions of these models are validated through comparison with test data on local and global behaviour. It was observed that tension stiffening has significant influence on torsional behaviour of square RC members. The exponential and parabolic tension stiffening models were found to yield the most accurate predictions.

  • 이 연구는 기존의 현시비교우위지수 (RCA)를 지역에 적용한 후 지역불균형발전 정도를 반영하도록 수정한 지역현시비교우위지수를 제안하고 있다. 이는 한국의 산업입지가 전적으로 지역의 비교우위에만 기초해서 이루어지지는 않았다는 가정 아래 한국의 각 지역 간 비교우위를 평가하여 지역전략산업을 탐색하기 위한 것이다. 참여정부 이래 지속되고 있는 한국정부의 국가균형발전정책 역시 같은 가정에 기초하고 있다. 지역현시비교우위지수는 전통적인 현시비교우위의 지수에 국가균형발전의 역수인 불균형정도를 나타내는 요소를 반영한 것이다. 우리는 이 지수를 2007년 데이터에 적용하여 실제로 지역별 전략산업을 제시해 보았다.

  • An infiltration technique using W-Cu composite powder has been developed to enhance microstructural uniformity of W-Cu pseudo-alloy. W-Cu composite powder, manufactured by reduction from $WO_3$ and CuO powder mixtures, were blended with W powder and then cold iso-statically pressed into a cylindrical bar under 150 MPa. The pressed samples were pre-sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour under hydrogen to make a skeleton structure. This skeleton structure was more homogeneous than that formed by using W and Cu powder mixtures. The skeleton structures were infiltrated with Cu under hydrogen atmosphere. The infiltrated W-Cu pseudo-alloy showed homogeneous microstructure without Cu rich region

  • This article reports the experimental and numerical results for free sprays under ultra-high injection pressure conditions to give us better understandings of spray characteristics and also to make clear a limit pressure condition in diesel sprays. The high pressure injection system developed in this work is devised to reach ultra-high pressure conditions in the range from 150 MPa to 355 MPa. The free spray injected from a single nozzle injector is visualized by the Schlieren technique and the high speed camera. In particular, it is found that the shock waves are present and propagated along the edge of spray in the downstream direction. The measured spray penetration length increases gradually with the injection pressure, but its increasing rate is decreased as the injection pressure increases. The Sauter mean diameter is also no longer augmented for the injection pressures higher than 300 MPa. In addition, the three­dimensional numerical simulations are conducted for comparing the measurements with the predictions based on two different breakup models. The TAB model results show better agreements with experimental data than the WAVE model under ultra-high injection pressure conductions. Moreover, the simulation results show that the gas-phase pressure increases substantially in the vicinity of the spray tip region. It supports the experimental observation that the shock waves are formed at the front of spray tip and are propagated downstream.

  • Plastic buckling of tubular columns has been attributed to rotational instability of plastic hinges. The present study aimed to characterize the plastic hinges for two different grades of strain-hardening, examined in mild-steel (MS) and stainless-teel (SS) tubes with un-strengthened and strengthened conditions. At the primary stage, the formerly tested experimental specimens were simulated using full-scale FE models considering nonlinear response of the materials, then to estimate the characteristics of the plastic hinges, a meso model was developed from the critical region of the tubes and the moment-rotation diagrams were depicted under pure bending conditions. By comparison of the relative rotation diagram obtained by the full-scale models with the critical rotation under pure bending, the length and critical rotation of the plastic hinges under eccentric axial load were estimated. The stress and displacement diagrams indicated the mechanism of higher energy absorption in the strengthened tubes, compared to unstrengthened specimens, due to establishment of stable wrinkles along the tubes. The meso model showed that by increasing the critical rotation in the strengthened MS tube equal to 1450%, the energy absorption of the tube has been enhanced to 2100%, prior to collapse.
