The inflow rate is of interest in the design of underground structures such as tunnels and buried pipes below the groundwater table. Soil permeability governing the inflow rate significantly affects the hydro-geological behavior of soils but is difficult to estimate due to its wide range of distribution, nonlinearity and anisotropy. Volume changes induced by stress can cause nonlinear stress-strain behavior, resulting in corresponding permeability changes. In this paper, the nonlinearity and anisotropy of permeability are investigated by conducting Rowe cell tests, and a nonlinear permeability model considering anisotropy was proposed. Model modification and parameter evaluation for field application were also addressed. Significance of nonlinear permeability was illustrated by carrying out numerical analysis of a tunnel. It is highlighted that the effect of nonlinear permeability is significant in soils of which volume change is considerable, and particularly appears in the short-term flow behavior.

This paper presents effects of anisotropy and curvature on free vibration characteristics of cross-ply laminated composite cylindrical shallow shells. Shallow shells have been considered for different lamination thickness, radius of curvature and elasticity ratio. First, kinematic relations of strains and deformation have been showed. Then, using Hamilton's principle, governing differential equations have been obtained for a general curved shell. In the next step, stress-strain relation for laminated, cross-ply composite shells has been given. By using some simplifications and assuming Fourier series as a displacement field, differential equations are solved by matrix algebra for shallow shells. The results obtained by this solution have been given tables and graphs. The comparisons made with the literature and finite element program (ANSYS).

For effective stimulation with tDCS, spatial focality of induced electrical field(EF) and current density(CD) is one of the important factors to be considered. Recently, there have been some studies to improve the spatial focality via different types of electrodes and their new configurations: some improvements using ring electrodes were reported over the conventional pad electrodes. However, most of these studies assumed isotropic conductivities in the head. In this work, we have investigated the effect of tissue anisotropy on the spatial focality of tDCS with the 4 + 1 ring electrode configuration via a 3-D high-resolution finite element(FE) head model with anisotropic conductivities in the skull and white matter. By examining the profiles of the induced EF from the head models with isotropic and anisotropic conductivities respectively, we found that the spatial focality of the induced EF significantly drops and get diffused due to tissue anisotropy. Our analysis suggests that it is critical to incorporate tissue anisotropy in the effective stimulation of the brain via tDCS.

하동-산청지역의 회장암질암에 대한 대자율 비등방성(AMS: anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) 연구를 실시한 결과 5개 지점에서 지구조적 응력에 의한 자기적 엽리구조가, 6개 지점에서 흐름에 의한 자기적 선구조가 판별되었다. 자기적 엽리구조는 NW-SE방향의 압축력을 지시하며, 이는 회장암이 형성된 후, 후차적으로 작용되었던 것으로 판단된다. 이는 회장암질암 주변의 편마암류에서도 NE-SW방향의 엽리가 나타나는 사실로도 설명된다. 즉, 이들 변성암에 작용하였던 압축력은 회장암질암에도 함께 작용하였던 것이다. 등온잔류자기(IRM) 획득실험 결과, 이들 자기적 구조가 관찰되는 지점들에서의 주자성광물은 티탄자철석계열 광물이며, 일부 시료에는 소량의 적철석이 포함되어 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The magnetization angle and thickness dependence of magnetic anisotropy in the exchange-biased [Pd/Co]${\times}$5/FeMn multilayers with an out-of-plane anisotropy were investigated to determine the origin of perpendicular exchange biasing. As the Co thickness increased to 1.5 nm in the [Pd(0.8 nm)/Co(t)]${\times}$5/FeMn(120 nm) films, the hysteresis loops were converted from square loops at a thin Co (<0.4 nm) to complicated round ones at a thick Co. The irregularly asymmetric step (IAS) at the left top of the loop appeared in the loop of the 0.6-nm Co film due to an inhomogeneity in the exchange anisotropy. As the Pd thickness increased to 1.6 nm, the step disappeared, and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was maximized in the Co thickness between 0.6 and 0.9 nm. The conversion of the magnetization loop along the magnetization angle coincided with the equation $H_{(eff)}=H_o\;cos{\theta}$. The IAS of the 0.8-nm Pd film disappeared after thermal annealing up to $200^{\circ}C$ under an external magnetic field.

교환이방성이란 반강자성층과 강자성층의 이층막(bilayer)사이의 교환작용에 의해 발생하는 일방향 자기이방성을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼터링법으로 제작한 NiO/NiFe 이층막에서 발생하는 교환이방성에 대한 연구를 통하여 이를 스핀밸브형 거대자기저항 소자에 적용하고자 하였다. 먼저 NiO 증착조건 변화에 따른 NiO/NiFe 이층막의 특성변화를 살펴보았으며, 이를 통하여 NiO 증착중 Ar 압력 변화가 이층막의 교환이방성에 가장 중요한 인자임을 알수 있었다. 즉 Ar 압력이 낮을수록 교환이방성 특성이 더 우수하였다. 이러한 이층막 조건을 통하여 스핀밸브형 거대자기저항 다층막을 증착하였으며 그 결과 3.4%의 자기저항비와 0.25%/Oe의 민감도를 얻었다.

Geminate electron-hole recombination in organic solids in the presence of a donor-acceptor heterojunction is studied by computer simulations. We analyze how the charge-pair separation probability in such systems is affected by energetic disorder of the media, anisotropy of charge-carrier mobilities, and other factors. We show that in energetically disordered systems the effect of heterojunction on the charge-pair separation probability is stronger than that in idealized systems without disorder. We also show that a mismatch between electron and hole mobilities reduces the separation probability, although in energetically disordered systems this effect is weaker compared to the case of no energetic disorder. We demonstrate that the most important factor that determines the charge-pair separation probability is the ratio of the sum of electron and hole mobilities to the rate constant of recombination reaction. We also consider systems with mobility anisotropy and calculate the electric field dependence of the charge-pair separation probability for all possible orientations of high-mobility axes in the donor and acceptor phases. We theoretically show that it is possible to increase the charge-pair separation probability by controlling the mobility anisotropy in heterojunction systems and in consequence to achieve higher efficiencies of organic photovoltaic devices.

Natural clays exhibit features such as structural and anisotropy. In this work, a constitutive model that is able to replicate these two salient features of natural clays is presented. The proposed model is based on the classical S-CLAY1 model, where the anisotropy of the soil is captured through the initial inclination and rotation of the yield surface. To account for the structural of the soil, the compression curve of the reconstituted soil is taken as the reference. All parameters of the proposed constitutive model have clear physical meanings and can be conveniently determined from conventional triaxial tests. This proposed model has been used to simulate the behavior of soft soil in the undrained triaxial tests and the performance of Murro embankment in terms of settlement and horizontal displacements during embankment construction and consolidation stage. Results of numerical simulations using proposed model have been compared with the field measurement data. The comparisons show that the two features significantly influence the prediction results.

We have investigated the anisotropy of the superconducting properties for $CaC_6$ and $SrC_6$ using upper critical fields ($H_{c2}$) and specific heat ($C_p$). From the upper critical fields of $CaC_6$ at different magnetic field orientations, H//c and H// ab, the anisotropy is found to be ~ 5 at low temperatures, much larger than that of $SrC_6$. These results are in contrast to the stronger anisotropy in the electronic structure for $SrC_6$ than for $CaC_6$ indicating a stronger anisotropy in the superconducting gap in $CaC_6$. The findings are confirmed by the temperature dependence of the superconducting specific heat below $T_c$ for $CaC_6$ and $SrC_6$, suggesting the important role of anisotropic electron-phonon coupling in superconducting intercalated graphites.

자왜 또는 자기이방성의 측정에 사용되는 전자석의 여자전류를 측정에 필요한 수초간만 흘려서 에너지 소모 및 측정시의 최대난점인 시료의 온도변화의 문제를 극소화하였다. 따라서 전자석의 냉각장치는 생략되고 크기와 전원의 용량도 극소화되었다. 공기간격 22 mm, 자극의 단면적 $40{\times}25mm^{2}$에서 0.5 T의 자장발생에는 180 W의 전원으로 족하였다. 시료의 자왜와, 자기이방성에 의한 토크를 전기용량센서에 의하여 측정하여 $10^{-8}$의 자왜분해능과 1 nJ의 토크 분해능을 얻었다. $0.02{\times}0.8{\times}10mm^{2}$의 연자성 리본의 형상이방성을 이용하여 이방성 측정시의 토크값을 교정하였다.
