The objective of this study is to investigate the seismic capacity of the non-seismically detailed RC bridge piers before and after applying a seismic retrofitting method using stainless steel wire mesh. Total nine circular section RC piers were constructed. Different lap splice longitudinal reinforcement details were adapted for four specimens and various types of stainless steel wire mesh were applied for the remaining five specimens. Harmonic cyclic lateral load was applied on each specimen under a constant axial load. The test results indicated that the existing circular piers have low seismic capacity while the stainless steel wire mesh retrofitting method improves the seismic capacity considerably. In addition, test results revealed that the circular section piers could have a considerable amount of ductility if longitudinal bars are not lap-spliced in potential plastic hinge zone. Based on this experimental study it could be concluded that the seismic performance, that is ductility and energy absorption capacity, of the non-seismically detailed RC bridge piers would be increased by applying the stainless steel wire mesh seismic retrofitting method.

The most prevalent and oldest type of structure is unreinforced masonry (URM) structures; URM walls are still a widely used construction material in India and many other developing countries due to their simplicity, ease of construction, economic sustainability, and ability to be built with locally available materials. URM walls are significantly weak while carrying lateral loads. The poor performance of URM walls during earthquakes has necessitated investigating an effective method for strengthening a newly built masonry building or retrofitting an old structure. Wire mesh, being cost-effective and easily available, satisfies the requirements to strengthen new and old URM buildings. The use of wire mesh to strengthen and retrofit the URM structure is simple to use, quick to construct, and inexpensive, especially in developing nations where heavy machinery and highly qualified labour are lacking. The current paper reviews the effectiveness of steel wire mesh as a reinforcing material for enhancing masonry strength. The finding gave encouraging results for the field application of wire mesh.

Axisymmetric circular water jet impinges against rectangular heated surface with uniform hear flux and wire-mesh screens are set up in the nozzle-to-heater space to augment heat transfer. In the free jet region to be used them, pressure drop and intensive turbulence flow was brought up. When water jet system is not used wire-mesh screens, maximum heat transfer appears in the stagnation point and the secondary maximum appears X/D=4 but it disappears when they are is used. In the low velocity(Vo<6.0m/s), coarse mesh-screen enhanced heat transfer but fine mesh-screens inpeded heat transfer. In the high velocity(Vo>6m/s), all of them enhanced heat transfer. Average Nusselt number of experimental system to be used wire-mesh screens was promoted $4{\sim}6$times than that of simple water jet system. The stagnation heat transfer of experimental system to be used wire-mesh screens was augmented 6times that of simple water jet system.

The heat transfer characteristics of flow through two inclined wire-mesh baffles in a rectangular channel were investigated experimentally with varying the mesh number of wire screens and inclination angle of the baffles. Two different types of wire meshes such as dutch and plain weaves, were used in this experiment. Three kinds of baffle plates with different mesh specifications in the dutch weave and four different kinds in the plain weave were manufactured. Baffles were mounted on bottom wall with varied angles of inclination. Reynolds number was varied from 23,000 to 57,000. It is found that the placement of inclined wire-mesh baffles in the channel affects the heat transfer characteristics by combining both jet impingement and flow disturbance. The wire screen modified the flow structure leading to a change in the heat transfer characteristics. The results show that the baffle plate with the most number of mesh (type SA) has the highest heat transfer rate.

터널의 숏크리트 라이닝이나 포장 콘크리트 보강용으로 요접철망(wire mesh)을 대신해서 강섬유가 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강섬유 보강으로 인한 인성평가 대상 구조물을 slab panel 구조($60{\times}60{\times}10$cm)로 하고, 강섬유 혼입률은 콘크리트 용적의 0.5% ~ 2%로 다양화하였다. 이 때 사용한 강섬유는 Dramix ZC type으로 직경은 0.8mm, 길이는 60mm이다. 강섬유 효과의 상대평가를 위한 용접철망(wire mesh)보강은 상면, 하면, 상하면 보강으로 하였다. 이들 실험 결과를 각국의 인성 평가 방법으로 비교 검토한 결과 슬래브(slab) 시험체 적용을 위한 EFNARC의 방법은 25mm의 처짐까지 측정하는 것이 너무 큰 것으로 평가되었고, 보의 휨인성 평가법을 적용하여 검토한 결과에서는 Johnston(II)방법에 의한 $I_{5.5}$ 가장 적절하였으며, JCI-SF4방법에서 지간의 1/150까지 측정하는 것은 너무 작았다. 또한 강섬유로 용접철망(wire mesh)을 효과적으로 대치할 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 인성효과에 유용한 강섬유 혼입량은 0.5% ~ 1%범위에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Among the parts assembled in the gas receiver of a marine engine, the titanium alloy stainless steel (STS 316Ti) wire mesh serving as a filter was broken, and the related part, the turbine fan of the turbocharger, was damaged. In this study, a sample of the grid wire mesh was collected and the cause of breakage was analyzed, and a method of minimizing the dent mark caused by the mold during wire forming, which is one of the most direct causes, was studied. In addition, the optimum mold shape was realized through FEM simulation, and the wire wave molding machine capable of controlling the speed was improved by supplementing the problems of the existing wire wave molding machine, thereby improving durability with minimal dent marks.

Over the course of the last 4-5 years, India's northeastern region have widely used Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks to construct load-bearing masonry structures. The aim of this investigation is to examine the shear characteristics of AAC masonry triplet assemblage strengthened by using two techniques, i.e., the bead joint (BJ) and the bed-head joint (BHJ) technique. Three unique variations of wire mesh were involved in the strengthening method. Furthermore, three strengthening configurations were used to strengthen each of the three wire mesh variations and the two-strengthening method, i.e. (-), L and (Z) configuration. The unreinforced and reinforced triplet masonry wallets were tested under direct shear test. From the results obtained, the 'BJ'triplet masonry wallets observed an enhanced in shear strength of about 2.23% to 23.33 % whereas the 'BHJ' triplet masonry wallets observed an enhanced in shear strength of about 22.92% to 50.69%. The "BHJ" strengthening method effectively enhance the shear strength of the triplet masonry wallets compared to the "BJ" and the "UR" wallets with an increase in capacity as the wire mesh strength increases. Furthermore, in terms of the strengthening configuration, the (Z) configuration performs better, followed by the (L) and (-) configuration demonstrating the strengthening configuration effectiveness.

Metal bipolar plate applied to Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell is getting most attractive due to their good feasibility of mass production and low cost. But it is one of the immediate causes of performance decline because it is difficult to reduce channel pitch of metal bipolar plate. In this study, mesh was inserted in between bipolar plate and GDL to obtain uniform contact pressure without reducing channel pitch. The section measuring and performance test were carried out to confirm the mesh structure distributes contact pressure equally in reacting area. The performance of 3 type mesh structures developed in this study were higher than the normal cell at all over the current range. Especially, it showed that the mesh cell performance was increased and pressure drop was decreased with diminishing mesh gap size. The Mesh structure was more sensitive to humidification and contact pressure change than the normal cell.

본 실험적 연구는 고속 비상체에 의한 충돌하중을 받는 강섬유보강콘크리트 패널의 내충격성을 파악하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 실험에서는 또한 와이어매쉬 보강 유무에 따른 내충격성을 파악하였다. 강섬유 혼입률, 와이어매쉬 보강, 패널두께, 충돌속도, 골재크기를 변수로 조절하면서 고속충격을 가하여 실험체의 성능을 비교하였다. 강섬유의 혼입으로 인한 관입깊이에 대한 내충격성 향상은 미흡하였지만, 배면박리와 관통에 대해서는 내충격성 향상에 효과가 있었다. 이는 강섬유가 콘크리트매트릭스 내에서 가교효과를 발현하였기 때문이다. 그리고 와이에매쉬로 보강하였을 때 전면과 배면의 파괴면적은 감소하였고 관통과 배면박리에 대해서는 효과적이었지만, 관입깊이 억제력 향상에는 미흡하였다. 한편, 일부 실험체에서는 배면의 피복층을 따라서 쪼갬부착파괴가 발생한 경우도 있었지만, 대체적으로 와이어매쉬는 충격에 의한 패널의 휨변형을 억제하는 효과를 보였다. 관입 깊이의 관점에서는 20 mm 골재의 사용이 내충격성 향상에 효과적이었고, 전면과 배면의 파괴면적 감소 측면에서는 8 mm 골재의 사용이 20 mm 골재와 비교하여 보다 효과적이었다.
