The profile of the roller in the axial direction is the main design factor in order to increase endurance life against the contact fatigue due to the stress concentration along the edge of the roller. Even under the elas-tohydrodynamic lubrication (ehl) conditions, the stress concentration along the edge of the roller greatly worsens the fatigue life both for the roller and contacting body. In this study, roller contacts of finite axial length are studied for the film thickness and pressure of ehl. For the real contact behaviors under the ehl conditions, multigrid and multi-level method is applied so that much higher loading conditions can be investigated. Several axial profiles of roller are investigated to verify how both ehl film and pressure are generated and some of them are recommended for the ehl contact condition.

This paper shows a new magnetic field analysis of an interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines with an axial overhang structure wherein the rotor axial length exceeds that of the stator. The rotor overhang used to increase torque density of the radial flux machine is difficult to analyze because of extra consideration of axial direction, and thus it is general for machine designer to take 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) capable of considering both radial and axial complicated geometry in the machine. However, it requires too much computing time for preliminary design especially for optimization process. Therefore, in this paper a 2-D analytic method using a lumped magnetic circuit model (LMCM) is proposed to overcome the problem. For the analysis of overhang effect, the magnetic circuit is separated and solved from overhang and non-overhang regions respectively. For the validation of proposed concept, 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) is performed. From the analysis results, it is shown that our new proposed method presents good performance in terms of calculating electromotive force (EMF) and torque within a short time. Therefore, the proposed model can be useful in design of IPM with an overhang structure.

When stress is beyond elastic limit or cracks occur in a reinforced concrete member subjected to axial force and biaxial bending, curvature about each principal axis of uncracked section is influenced by axial force and bending moments about both major and minor principal axes. It is mainly due to the translation and rotation of principal axes of the cross section after cracking. Recently, by considering these effects, a numerical method predicting the behavior of concrete columns subjected to axial force and biaxial bending was proposed. In this study, in order to verify the proposed numerical method and investigate the effects of cracking on the behavior of reinforced concrete columns, a series of tests were carried out for 16 tied reinforced concrete columns with 100×100 mm square and 200×100 mm rectangular sections under various loading conditions. The angle between the direction of eccentricity and the major principal axis of uncracked section were 0, 30, 40° for the square section and 0, 30, 45, 60, 90° for the rectangular section, respectively. A comparison between numerical predictions and test results shows good agreements in ultimate loads, axial force-lateral deflection relations, and lateral deflection trajectories. It is also found, in this limited investigation, that the ACI's moment magnifier method is conservative in both uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions.

In this paper, two types of porous burners with radial and axial flow have been modeled numerically and compared. For this purpose, governing equations were solved one-dimensionally for methane-air premix gas. The mechanism used in simulating combustion phenomenon was 15 stage reduced mechanism based on GRI3.0. In order to compare the two burners, the inlet flow rate and fuel-air ratio have been assumed equal for the two burners. The results of the study indicated that reduction in speed and increase in cross-section area in the direction of flow have a considerable influence on the behavior of radial burner in comparison to axial burner. Regarding temperature distribution inside the burner, it was observed that the two above mentioned factors can be influential in temperature of flame propagation region. Also, regarding distribution of CO and NO emission, the results indicate that the porous radial burner has lower emissions in comparison to the axial once. The output radiative heat transfer efficiency of the two burners was also compared and in this case also even the radial porous burner was found to be preferable.

This work presents a comprehensive study on the surface energy effect on the axial frequency analyses of AFGM nanorods in cylindrical coordinates. The AFGM nanorods are considered to be thin, relatively thick, and thick. In thin nanorods, effects of the inertia of lateral motions and the shear stiffness are ignored; in relatively thick nanorods, only the first one is considered; and in thick nanorods, both of them are considered in the kinetic energy and the strain energy of the nanorod, respectively. The surface elasticity theory which includes three surface parameters called surface density, surface stress, and surface Lame constants, is implemented to consider the size effect. The power-law form is considered for variation of the material properties through the axial direction. Hamilton's principle is used to derive the governing equations and boundary conditions. Due to considering the surface stress, the governing equation and boundary condition become inhomogeneous. After homogenization of them using an appropriate change of variable, axial natural frequencies are calculated implementing harmonic differential quadrature (HDQ) method. Comprehensive results including effects of geometric parameters and various material properties are presented for a wide range of boundary condition types. It is believed that this study is a comprehensive one that can help posterities for design and manufacturing of nano-electro-mechanical systems.

In the context of finite element method, a computational simulation is presented to study and analyze the dynamic behavior of regularly perforated functionally graded rotating beam for the first time. To investigate the effect of perforation configurations, both regular circular and squared perforation patterns are studied. To explore impacts of graded material distributions, both axial and transverse gradation profiles are considered. The material characteristics of graded materials are assumed to be smoothly and continuously varied through the axial or the thickness direction according the nonlinear power gradation law. A computational finite elements procedure is presented. The accuracy of the numerical procedure is verified and compared. Resonant frequencies, axial displacements as well as internal stress distributions throughout the perforated graded rotating cantilever beam are studied. Effects of material distributions, perforation patterns, as well as the rotating beam speed are investigated. Obtained results proved that the graded material distribution has remarkable effects on the dynamic performance. Additionally, circular perforation pattern produces more softening effect compared with squared perforation configuration thus larger values of axial displacements and maximum principal stresses are detected. Moreover, squared perforation provides smaller values of nondimensional frequency parameters at most of vibration modes compared with circular pattern.

목적: 렌즈 착용자의 자세변화 시 토릭소프트렌즈의 축 회전을 알아보고 각막난시와의 상관관계에 대해 알아보았다. 방법: 직난시를 가진 20대 42안을 대상으로 정자세와 누운 자세에서의 토릭소프트렌즈의 회전 정도와 회전 방향, 회전 속도를 측정하여 각막 난시량에 따라 차이가 있는지를 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 정자세와 누운 자세에서 각각의 축 회전 정도는 처방도수에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 자세의 변화에 따른 회전 각도는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 정자세에서의 회전은 20안은 코쪽, 22안은 귀쪽으로 회전하였다. 누운 자세에서는 거의 모든 대상안에서 누운 방향으로 회전 되었으며 -0.75 D를 착용한 초기에는 회전 속도가 빨랐던 것에 비해 -1.25 D를 착용할 때는 상대적으로 회전속도가 일정하였다. 누운 자세에서의 회전 각도는 각막 난시량에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였고, 회전 속도 또한 시간의 흐름에 의해서는 유의한 차이를 보인 반면 각막 난시량에 따라서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론: 토릭소프트렌즈의 축 회전 정도는 자세 변화에 따라 다르게 나타나며, 각막 난시량이 큰 경우 그 정도가 더 크므로 렌즈디자인 개발 시 이에 대해 고려해야 할 것으로 보인다.

목적: 본 연구에서는 착용자의 눈물양이 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈 착용시간 및 응시방향에 따른 축회전 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 이중쐐기형 축안정화 디자인을 가진 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈를 62안(정상안 29안, 건성안 33안)에 착용시키고 착용 15분 후 및 6시간 후의 비침입성 눈물막파괴시간 변화와 응시방향을 달리하였을 때의 회전방향과 회전양 변화를 측정하였다. 결과: 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈를 착용하고 응시방향을 달리하였을 때 대체로 귀 쪽으로 회전하는 경우가 많았으나 착용시간 및 착용안의 눈물양에 따라 차이가 있었다. 또한, 렌즈 착용 15분 후와 6시간 후 모두 거의 모든 응시방향에서 건성안의 경우가 정상안에 비해 귀 쪽으로 회전하는 빈도가 더 높았다. 렌즈 착용 15분 후에는 건성안군의 회전양이 전체적으로 컸으나 6시간 후에는 정상안군과 건성안군 간의 회전양 차이는 크지 않았다. 결론: 본 연구에서는 렌즈 착용자의 눈물양에 따라 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈의 축 회전이 달라지며, 착용 초기와 일정시간 착용 후의 회전 양상이 상이함을 밝혔다. 본 연구결과를 통한 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈 회전양상 변화는 착용 시간 경과 후의 시력 변화 가능성을 의미하며 눈물양과의 상관관계 규명은 토릭 소프트콘택트렌즈 선택시 적절한 고려요인이 필요함을 제안한다.

Many laboratory experiments on crack propagation under uniaxial loading and biaxial loading have been conducted in the past using transparent materials such as resin, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc. However, propagation behaviors of three-dimensional (3D) cracks in rock or rock-like materials under tri-axial loading are often considerably different. In this study, a series of true tri-axial loading tests on the rock-like material with two semi-ellipse pre-existing cracks were performed in laboratory to investigate the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics and propagation characteristics of 3D crack groups influenced by intermediate principal stress. Compared with previous experiments under uniaxial loading and biaxial loading, the tests under true tri-axial loading showed that shear cracks, anti-wing cracks and secondary cracks were the main failure mechanisms, and the initiation and propagation of tensile cracks were limited. Shear cracks propagated in the direction parallel to pre-existing crack plane. With the increase of intermediate principal stress, the critical stress of crack initiation increased gradually, and secondary shear cracks may no longer coalesce in the rock bridge. Crack aperture decreased with the increase of intermediate principal stress, and the failure is dominated by shear fracturing. There are two stages of fracture development: stable propagation stage and unstable failure stage. The AE events occurred in a zone parallel to pre-existing crack plane, and the AE zone increased gradually with the increase of intermediate principal stress, eventually forming obvious shear rupture planes. This shows that shear cracks initiated and propagated in the pre-existing crack direction, forming a shear rupture plane inside the specimens. The paths of fracturing inside the specimens were observed using the Computerized Tomography (CT) scanning and reconstruction.

이 논문의 목적은 붕괴방지수준의 지진력을 적용한 콘크리트 댐 피어부 동적해석 시 합리적인 댐 축방향 지진하중 재하 방법, 내하력 평가 방법 등에 대한 적용방안을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 콘크리트 댐 피어부를 대상 시설로 선정하여 다양한 위어부 폭을 적용한 동적해석을 통해 위어부 댐 축방향 동적거동 특성을 분석하고 'U.S. Army Corps, 2007'제시하는 RC수력구조물 평가기법을 적용하여 내하력 평가를 수행하였다. 연구결과 피어부 댐 축방향 지진력 적용 시 위어부 댐 축방향은 강체거동으로 가정하는 것이 보다 현실적이고 'U.S. Army Corps, 2007'에서 제시하는 모멘트와 전단에 대한 내하력 검토방법이 합리적인 것으로 판단되므로 현행 평가방법의 개선이 필요한 것으로 결과가 도출되었다. 연구 결과 개선사항을 적용할 경우 CLE를 적용한 현행 내진성능평가 방법보다 합리적인 평가결과를 도출하는 효과가 있을 것이다. 피어부에 발생하는 비틀림 모멘트에 대해서는 향후 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
