무선센서네트워크에서 예기치 못한 지형과 자연현상 또는 노드 파손, 불균형적인 에너지 손실로 홀(hole)이 발생하는 것은 필수불가결하다. 이런 문제를 다루는 대부분의 현존 방식은 홀을 피하기 위해 정적인 우회 경로를 구성한다. 정적인 우회 경로는 홀 주변부에 있는 노드들의 과도한 에너지 손실을 유발한다. 그래서 데이터 패킷이 홀 주변 노드에 몰리고 노드들의 에너지는 급속하게 고갈되며 홀의 영역이 확대되는 효과가 나타난다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 가상 그리드 상에서 위치기반 라우팅 방식과 동적인 그리드 앵커포인터 설정을 통한 효율적인 홀 우회 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 홀 우회 방식은 홀이 있는 불규칙한 무선센서네트워크에서도 에너지 효율적이며 데이터 신뢰성을 제공하는 홀 우회 전송방식이다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 이러한 주장의 타당성을 제공한다.

VVVF 전동차 팬터그래프의 주습판은 전차선과 미끄럼 접촉에 의한 집전을 하면서 편마모 등 이상마모 현상이 나타나게 된다. 우천 시에는 윤활성분이 손실되어 주습판과 전차선과의 왕복운동에 대한 마찰저항이 급상승하여 국부적 마모가 가속화 된다. 내마모 특성을 가져야 하는 동계 주습판의 특성을 고려하여 합금설계를 통해 제작된 개선 주습판의 현차시험 결과 이상마모와 편마모가 발생하지 않았다. 개선된 주습판의 밀도향상은 Fe-Ti의 부석효과를 상승시켜 우기 시에도 우수한 내마모성 및 내아크성을 유지함으로써 이상마모 발생을 방지하였다. 또한, 기계적, 전기적 마모에 의한 주습판의 성분 및 조성변화가 일어나지 않았다. 주습판의 내마모성 향상에 기여함과 더불어 우기와 동절기 등 악 조건하에서 현차시험을 거치고 전차선과의 상관관계도 분석하여 전 전동차에 적용하였다.

Relatively being economical in installation and easy in operation, hot-air heating system has been generally used in greenhouse for heating system regardless of high cost in maintenance and uneven distribution of air temperature. Therefore to overcome the disadvantages in maintenance and in distribution of air temperature and to improve efficiency of heating system, this experimental study is performed. This experimental study aims to improve the character of uneven temperature distribution in vertical direction and to reduce energy consumption for heating in a greenhouse. The experiment had been performed to investigate change of thermal environment and effects on reducing energy consumption for heating in greenhouse by additional surface insulation and reduction of indoor-air volume that come by installing transparent vinyl membranes with different height in each house. The results show that there is a wide difference in oil-energy consumption between houses according to condition of surface insulation and change of indoor-air volume. Furthermore, the results show that the efficiency of dual surface is higher than that of change of indoor-air volume in terms of energy saving.

글로벌 생산 네트워크는 다국적기업들이 전략적으로 자사의 가치사슬을 단계별로 분리하여 다양한 지역으로 이전시키면서 나타나기 시작하였다. 글로벌 생산 네트워크는 자재, 부품, 소재, 그리고 완제품의 빈번한 운송을 수반하고, 신속하고 효율적인 운용을 요구하기 때문에 역외보다는 통합된 지역 내에서 더욱 발달하였다. 여러 해의 자료를 심층 분석한 결과, 해당 지역 내에서 고부가가치 상품의 생산에 비교우위를 지닌 선진국들은 ICT 부품과 소재의 생산에 특화하며 높은 수출 현시비교우위지수를 보였다. 반면에 노동집약적인 조립 공정에 비교우위를 가진 개도국들은 높은 수입 현시비교우위지수를 보여주었다. 일부 개도국들은 글로벌 생산 네트워크 참여를 통해 꾸준히 기술역량을 제고하면서 산업구조 고도화 발전을 이룰 수 있었음 또한 자료 분석 결과 알 수 있었다. 동아시아 국가들은 다양한 요인들로 인해 EU나 NAFTA 지역 국가들에 비해 글로벌 생산 네트워크에 많이 참여하였는데, 해당 국가들의 ICT 분야 기술발전 속도 및 수출의 빠른 증가세가 보여주듯이 동아시아 국가들은 글로벌 생산 네트워크 참여로 크게 수혜하였다. 그러나 이는 결과적으로 ICT 부품과 소재 산업에 있어서 글로벌 생산 네트워크의 지역별 구축 정도에 상당한 불균형을 야기하였음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to develop a process for manufacturing a composite structure of an intermetallic compound foam and a hollow material, the firing and pore form of the Al-Ni precursor in a steel pipe are investigated. When the Al-Ni precursor is foamed in a hollow pipe, if the temperature distribution inside the precursor is uneven, the pore shape distribution becomes uneven. In free foaming, no anisotropy is observed in the foaming direction and the pore shape is isotropic. However, in the hollow pipe, the pipe expands in the pipe axis direction and fills the pipe. The interfacial adhesion between $Al_3Ni$ foam and steel pipe is excellent, and interfacial pore and reaction layer are not observed by SEM. In free foaming, the porosity is 90 %, but it decreases to about 80 % in the foam in the pipe. In the pipe foaming, most of the pore shape appears elongated in the pipe direction in the vicinity of the pipe, and this tendency is more remarkable when the inside pipe diameter is small. It can be seen that the pore size of the foam sample in the pipe is larger than that of free foam, because coarse pores remain after solidification of the foam because the shape of the foam is supported by the pipe. The vertical/horizontal length ratio expands along the pipe axis direction by foaming in the pipe, and therefore circularity is reduced.

This article presents a new analytical model to study the effect of porosity on the shear correction factors (SCFs) of functionally graded porous beams (FGPB). For this analysis, uneven and logarithmic-uneven porosity functions are adopted to be distributed through the thickness of the FGP beams. Critical to the application of this theory is a determination of the correction factor, which appears as a coefficient in the expression for the transverse shear stress resultant; to compensate for the assumption that the shear strain is uniform through the depth of the cross-section. Using the energy equivalence principle, a general expression is derived from the static SCFs in FGPB. The resulting expression is consistent with the variationally derived results of Reissner's analysis when the latter are reduced from the two-dimensional case (plate) to the one-dimensional one (beam). A convenient algebraic form of the solution is presented and new study cases are given to illustrate the applicability of the present formulation. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effect of the porosity distribution on the (SCFs) for various FGPBs. Further, the law of changing the mechanical properties of FG beams without porosity and the SCFare numerically validated by comparison with some available results.

Steel is becoming increasingly popular due to its high strength, excellent ductility, great assembly performance, and recyclability. In reality, steel structures serving for a long time in atmospheric, industrial, and marine environments inevitably suffer from corrosion, which significantly decreases the durability and the service life with the exposure time. For the mechanical properties of corroded steel, experimental studies are mainly conducted. The existing numerical analyses only evaluate the mechanical properties based on corroded morphology at the isolated time-in-point, ignoring that this morphology varies continuously with corrosion time. To solve this problem, the relationships between pit depth expectation, standard deviation, and corrosion time are initially constructed based on a large amount of wet-dry cyclic accelerated test data. Successively, based on that, an in-situ pitting evolution method for evaluating the residual tensile strength of corroded steel is proposed. To verify the method, 20 repeated simulations of mass loss rates and mechanical properties are adopted against the test results. Then, numerical analyses are conducted on 135 models of corrosion pits with different aspect ratios and uneven corrosion degree on two corroded surfaces. Results show that the power function with exponents of 1.483 and 1.091 can well describe the increase in pit depth expectation and standard deviation with corrosion time, respectively. The effect of the commonly used pit aspect ratios of 0.10-0.25 on yield strength and ultimate strength is negligible. Besides, pit number ratio α equating to 0.6 is the critical value for the strength degradation. When α is less than 0.6, the pit number increases with α, accelerating the degradation of strength. Otherwise, the strength degradation is weakened. In addition, a power function model is adopted to characterize the degradation of yield strength and ultimate strength with corrosion time, which is revised by initial steel plate thickness.

This article introduces a novel analytical model for examining the impact of porosity on shear correction factors (SCFs) in functionally graded porous beams (FGPB). The study employs uneven and logarithmic-uneven modified porosity-dependent power-law functions, which are distributed throughout the thickness of the FGP beams. Additionally, a modified exponential-power law function is used to estimate the effective mechanical properties of functionally graded porous beams. The correction factor plays a crucial role in this analysis as it appears as a coefficient in the expression for the transverse shear stress resultant. It compensatesfor the assumption that the shear strain is uniform across the depth of the cross-section. By applying the energy equivalence principle, a general expression for static SCFs in FGPBs is derived. The resulting expression aligns with the findings obtained from Reissner's analysis, particularly when transitioning from the two-dimensional case (plate) to the one-dimensional case (beam). The article presents a convenient algebraic form of the solution and provides new case studies to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed formulation. Numerical results are also presented to illustrate the influence of porosity distribution on SCFs for different types of FGPBs. Furthermore, the article validates the numerical consistency of the mechanical property changesin FG beams without porosity and the SCF by comparing them with available results.
