Using the results of the Piezocone Penetration Test (PCPT) which were executed at the Yangsan-Mulgum site, the applicability of the interpretation methods for estimating the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) of soft clay was evaluated. At the same time, laboratory soil tests using the total of 172 undisturbed soft clay samples from the 44 regions of the Yangsan-Mulgum site were performed to study the differency in the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) compared to the results of PCPT. The calculated constrained modulus ($M_{\varepsilon}$) and coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) using the results of consolidation laboratory tests which are based upon the consolidation theory of Terzaghi were compared with the predicted constrained modulus ($M_p$) and coefficient of consolidation ($C_{v-{M_p}}$) from the PCPT. The relationship between the predicted constrained modulus ($M_p$) and the calculated constrained modulus($M_c$) were showed good correlation. The $M_p$ by the Jones & Rust method were showed mostly similar to the calculated constrained modulus ($M_c$). The relationship between the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) obtained from the consolidation tests and the calculated coefficient of consolidation ($C_{v-{M_p}}$) were showed a linear relationship. The results of the calculated coefficient of consolidation ($C_{v-{M_p}}$) were about 54% of the value of the coefficient of consolidation ($C_v$) obtained from the consolidation tests.

In this study, the so-called repeated plate load bearing test (RPBT) used to get $E_{v2}$ values in order to check the degree of compaction of subgrade, and to get design parameters for determining the thickness of the trackbed foundation, is investigated. The test procedure of the RPBT method is scrutinized in detail. $E_{v2}$ values obtained from the field were verified in order to check the reliability of the test data. The $E_{v2}$ values obtained from high-speed rail construction sites were compared to converted modulus values obtained from resonant column (RC) test results. For these tests, medium-size samples composed of the same soils from the field were used after analyzing stress and strain levels existing in the soil below the repeated loading plates. Finite element analyses, using the PLAXIS and ABAQUS programs, were performed in order to investigate the impact of the strain influence coefficient. This was done by getting newly computed $I_z$ to get the precise strain level predicted on the subgrade surface in the full track structure; under wheel loading. It was verified that it is necessary to use precise loading steps to construct nonlinear load-settlement curves from RPBT in order to get correct $E_{v2}$ values at the proper strain levels.

V-노치 균열에서 열하중이 작용하는 경우는 비제차형 경계조건의 문제가 되고, 이 조건에 대한 방정식의 일반해를 구하기 위해서 재차형 연립방정식에 대한 일반해(Homogeneous solution)와 비제차형 연립방정식에 대한 특수해(Particular solution)의 두 가지 해를 구할 수 있다. 이들 해는 V-노치 균열에 대한 고유치가 되고 이 고유치가 중복근을 가지게 되는 경우에는 로그항(1n[r])이 나타나게 되고 이 항에 의해서 응력을 무한대로 발산시키므로 이를 대수응력특이성이라 한다. 열하중이 작용할 때 대수응력특이성을 나타내는 로그항의 계수가 영(0)이 되어 대수응력특이성이 사라지게 되므로 V-노치 선단에서의 응력특이성은 고유치와 그에 대한 고유벡터에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 비정상상태 열하중이 가해지는 등방성 이종재료 내의 V-노치 균열문제에서 패기 각도와 이종재료의 기계적 성질에 의해 결정되는 응력특이성지수를 구하고 이에 대한 응력강도계수를 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS와 상반일 경로 적분법(RWCIM)을 이용하여 구하였다.

There are two kinds of method to calculate the equivalent friction coefficients at V groove. One is to consider the firction in radial direction. The other is to neglect the friection in radial direction. The values calculated from the two methods is different of which ratio is in the range from two times to five times. So it is necessary to study which is correct in the view of force equilibrium and machine design.

A method to determine elastic constants for transversely isotropic rock using a single uniaxial compression test was proposed by Kim(1995). However, some problems were found when this method was applied. We derived two different equations in determination of elastic constants using V$\sub$12/ and V$\sub$21/ and performed uniaxial compression tests for two specimens whose angles between transversely isotropic plane and horizontal plane are 30$^{\circ}C$ and 65$^{\circ}C$. The anisotropic elastic constants should be calculated with different equations depend on the angle. If the anisotropic angle is lower than 45$^{\circ}$, V$\sub$21/ may be used. However, if the anisotropic angle is higher than 45$^{\circ}$, V$\sub$12/ may be used.

In bonded structures, there are V-notched cracks in dissimilar materials and the stress concentration of these V-notched cracks causes to occur interface cracks in dissimilar materials Therefore the strength evaluation of V-notched cracks in dissimliar materials seems to be important. The stress fields of a V-notched cracks is known as .sigma.$_{ij}$ .var. K $r_{p-1}$,where K is the stress intensity factor and p-1 is the stress singularity. When the distance, r, approaches to 0 at the stress fields of V-notched cracks, the stresses become infinites by two more stress singularities of p-1 and p-1 is no more -0.5. Stress singularities and stress intensity factors for V-notched cracks in dissimilar materials are treated and discussed. The Newton-Raphson method which is an efficient numerical method for solving a non-linear equation is used for solving stress sigularities. And stress intensity factors are solved by the collocation method using the Newton-Raphson and least squares method. The effects of stress intensity factors and stress singularities on stress fields of V-notched cracks in dissimilar materials are studied by using photoelasic isochromatic frings patterns obtained from computer graphics.s.

In this study, seismic elastic wave and dynamic elastic modulus properties are investigated by down-hole seismic tests that were applied to the 11 gneiss area. The research results show that the realtionship between the two properties are $V_s=0.5589{\times}V_p$ in gneiss. The relationship between the two properties are separated into two groups. Group 1 is influenced mainly by the specific gravity of rock, but group 2 is influenced mainly by the joint aperture. As weathering progresses, group 1 clearly shows a decreasing tendency. In fresh and slightly weathered rock-mass, correlations between $V_p$ and dynamic elastic modulus is expressed in linear line but in moderately-highly weathered rock-mass, correlations between $V_p$ and dynamic elastic modulus is expressed curve as a quadratic function. Correlations between $V_s$ and dynamic elastic modulus are analyzed similar with a $V_p$ case.

CANDU원자로의 노심계산을 위한 WIMS-AECL에 적합한 최적의 cross section library를 선정하기 위하여, 연소도에 대한 무한증배계수(k$\infty$)의 변화와 핵연료온도반응도계수, 냉각재온도반응도계수, 감속재온도반응도계수 및 기포반응도들을 계산하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과, WIMS-AECL에 WINFRITH와 ENDF/B-V를 사용한 경우 핵연료 온도계수를 제외하고는 무한증배계수와 반응도계수들의 계산차이는 유효연소도 영역에서 크지 않았다. 그러나 연소가 진행됨에 따라 차이가 커짐을 보여주고 있으며, 기존의 POWDERPUFS-V(PPV)결과와는 초기 연소도에서는 차이가 적으나, 연소도가 커짐에 따라 많은 차이를 보여주고 있다. 따라서, 연소된 핵연료 또는 Pu이 함유된 핵연료에 대한 격자실험의 자료에 의하여 평가 및 검증될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a temperature independent the detective voltage source in voltage detector. The value of a detective voltage source is designed to become m times of silicon bandgap voltage at zero absolute temperature. By properly choosing the temperature coefficient of diode, the temperature coefficient of a concave voltage nonlinearities generated by the ${\Delta}V_{BE}$ section of diode between base and emitter of transistors with a different area can be summed with convex nonlinearities the $V_{BE}$ voltage to achieve the near zero temperature coefficient of the detective voltage source. We designed that the value of a detective voltage can be varied by ${\Delta}V_{BE}$, the $V_{BE}$multiplier circuit and resistor. In order to verify the performance of a proposed detective voltage source, we manufactured the voltage detector IC for 1.9V which is fabricated in $6{\mu}m$ Bipolar technology and measured the operating characteristics, the temperature coefficient of a detective voltage. To reduce the deviation of a detective voltage in the IC process step, we introduced a trimming technology, ion implantation and an isotropic etching. In manufactured IC, the detective voltage source could achieve the stable temperature coefficient of 29ppm/$^{\circ}C$ over the temperature range of -30$^{\circ}C$ to 70$^{\circ}C$. The current consumption of a voltage detector constituted by the proposed detective voltage source is $10{\mu}A$ from 1.9V-supply voltage at room temperature.

ANSI decided PMMA slab phantom as a calibration phantom and introduced a conversion coefficient calculation method for it. For photon, the conversion coefficient can be obtained by using backscatter factor and conversion coefficient of the ICRU tissue cube and backscatter factor of the PMMA slab. For neutron, however, the ANSI has not introduced any conversion coefficient calculation method for the PMMA slab. In this work, the ANSI method for the photon conversion coefficient calculation was applied to the neutron conversion coefficient calculation of the PMMA slab. Quality weighted tissue kerma of neutron was applied to calculate the backscatter factors on the ICRU cube and the PMMA slab. The dose conversion coefficient of the ICRU cube was also calculated by using MCNP code. Then, the dose conversion coefficient of the PMMA slab was calculated from two backscatter factors and the dose conversion coefficient of the ICRU cube. The discrepancies of the dose conversion coefficients of the PMMA slab and the ICRU cube were less than 10% except 1eV(20%), 1keV(17%), and 4 MeV(16%).
