  • This study analyzed stresses in concrete and its reinforcement, computing the additional loading transferred by concrete creep. The loading varied from zero, structure exclusively under its self-weight, up to the critical buckling load. The studied structure was a real, tapered, reinforced concrete pole. As concrete is a composite material, homogenizing techniques were used in the calculations. Due to the static indetermination for determining the normal forces acting on concrete and reinforcement, equations that considered the balance of forces and compatibility of displacement on cross-sections were employed. In the mathematical solution used to define the critical buckling load, all the elements of the structural dynamics present in the system were considered, including the column self-weight. The structural imperfections were linearized using the geometric stiffness, the proprieties of the concrete were considered according to the guidelines of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 209R), and the ground was modeled as a set of distributed springs along the foundation length. Critical buckling loads were computed at different time intervals after the structure was loaded. Finite element method results were also obtained for comparison. For an interval of 5000 days, the modulus of elasticity and critical buckling load reduced by 36% and 27%, respectively, compared to an interval of zero days. During this time interval, stress on the reinforcement steel reached within 5% of the steel yield strength. The computed strains in that interval stayed below the normative limit.

  • 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)이 영인 inline 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)가 적용된 광전송 링크에서 precompensation, postcompensation과 광 중계 거리 당 잉여 분산 (RDPS; residual dispersion per span)의 제어를 통해 $24{\times}40$ Gbps WDM 신호의 고품질 전송을 연구하였다. 시스템 성능을 양호하게 하는 RDPS 값은 WDM 채널 입사 전력에 의존하지만, 비교적 넓은 입사 전력 범위를 갖는 WDM 신호들의 시스템 성능을 동시에 효율적으로 개선할 수 있는 최적 RDPS는 210~230 ps/nm인 것을 확인하였다. 또한 RDPS가 증가할수록 최악 채널의 눈 열림 패널티 (EOP; eye opening penalty)를 1 dB 이하로 만드는 유효 입사 전력 범위가 증가되는 것을 확인하였다.

  • The objective of this paper is to experimentally study the consolidation of saturated silty clay subjected to repeated heating-cooling cycles using a modified temperature-controlled triaxial apparatus. Focus is placed on the influence of the water content, confining pressure, and magnitudes and number of thermal loading cycles. The experimental results show that the thermally induced pore pressure increases with increasing water content and magnitude of thermal loading in undrained conditions. After isothermal consolidation at an elevated temperature, the pore pressure continues to decrease and gradually falls below zero during undrained cooling, and the maximum negative pore pressure increases as the water content decreases or the magnitude of thermal loading increases. During isothermal consolidation at ambient temperature after one heating-cooling cycle, the pore pressure begins to rise due to water absorption and finally stabilizes at approximately zero. As the number of thermal loading cycles increases, the thermally induced pore pressure shows a degrading trend, which seems to be more apparent under a higher confining pressure. Overall, the specimens tested show an obvious volume reduction at the completion of a series of heating-cooling cycles, indicating a notable irreversible thermal consolidation deformation.

  • The fuel in conventional liquid fuel combustor is atomized by spray method for high efficiency and low emissions. To improve the overall fuel efficiency and lower pollutant emissions in liquid fuel combustion systems, the effective spatial and temporal separation of droplet evaporation from normal spray process is needed. In this paper, the recuperation of high temperature burnt gas for fuel evaporation was proposed to develop a cylindrical premixed combustor. The recuperation process using U shaped tube is effective to evaporate the liquid fuel. The results show that the flame mode is changed into red radiation flame, blue flame and lift off flame with decreasing equivalence ratio as gas fuel combustion mode. In particular, the blue flame is found to be very stable at heating load 9.2 kW and equivalence ratio 0.731. NOx was measured blow 105 ppm ($O_2$ zero base) from equivalence ratio 0.705 to 0.835. CO which is a very important emission index in liquid fuel combustor was observed below 5 ppm ($O_2$ zero base) under the same equivalence region.

  • The nanocrystalline Fe$_{84}$Zr$_{7}$B$_{6}$Cu$_{1}$ $Al_{2}$ alloy was annealed at 450 $^{\circ}C$ and 550 $^{\circ}C$ for l hour to achieve the ultra-soft magnetic properties such as large magnetoimpedence ratio(MIR), the incremental permeability ratio(PR), nearly zero coercivity, zero magnetostriction, etc. The PR and MIR of the sample were measured from 100 kHz to 10 MHz at a cryogenic chamber where the temperature can be varie from 10 K to 300 K. The increment of MIR value is proportional to increasing temperature. The maximum PR values measured at high frequency above 1 MHz remain almost same despite of the temperature variation from 10 K to 300 K except the sharpness in PR curves. However, the maximum PR values measured below 1 MHz show drastic increment at above 150K due to thermal activation of magnetic domains.s.s.

  • An active clamp high step-up boost converter with a coupled inductor is proposed in this paper. In the proposed strategy, a coupled inductor is adopted to achieve a high voltage gain. The clamp circuit is included to achieve the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition for both the main and clamp switches. A rectifier composed of a capacitor and a diode is added to reduce the voltage stress of the output rectifier diode. As a result, diodes with a low reverse-recovery time and forward voltage-drop can be utilized. Since the voltage stresses of the main and clamp switches are far below the output voltage, low-voltage-rated MOSFETs can be adopted to reduce conduction losses. Moreover, the reverse-recovery losses of the diodes are reduced due to the inherent leakage inductance of the coupled inductor. Therefore, high efficiency can be expected. Firstly, the derivation of the proposed converter is given and the operation analysis is described. Then, a steady-state performance analysis of the proposed converter is analyzed in detail. Finally, a 250 W prototype is built to verify the analysis. The measured maximum efficiency of the prototype is 95%.

  • In this paper, we investigate frequency dependance of inductance of FeCoB amorphous magnetic films. $(Fe_{1-x}Co_x)_{79}Si_2B_{19}$ was used as the basic composition of amorphous magnetic film having near zero magnetostriction. The amorphous magnetic films were fabricated with x=0.94 and x=0.95 by using sputtering method at high frequency. The films were anneald under non-magnetic field and near crystallization temperatures(30min at $280^{\circ}C$, 30min and 1hr at $400^{\circ}C$, respectively). As the results of the experiments with the fabricated films, the lowest coercive force was 0.084[Oe] at 400[W] of the input power and the crystallization temperature was $360^{\circ}C$ . In the case 30min at 40$0^{\circ}C$ the inductance value in the low frequency with x=0.95 was higher by 488% than that with x=0.94. The quality factor Q was below 0.7 for all samples. We obtained the highest quality value at 400[KHz] with 30min at $280^{\circ}C$ and x=0.94. The value was about 0.62. Also, the quality factor value was about 0.35 at 1[MHz] with 30min at $280^{\circ}C$ and x=0.95.

  • Biodegradable microspheres were prepared with poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA, 75 : 25 by mole ratio) by an oil/oil solvent evaporation method for the sustained release of anti-AIDS virus agent, AZT The microspheres of relatively narrow size distribution (7.6$\pm$ 3.8 ㎛) were obtained by controlling the fabrication conditions. The shape of microspheres prepared was smooth and spherical. The efficiency of AZT loading into the PLGA microsphere was over 93% compared to that below 15% for microspheres by a conventional water/oil/water method. The effects of Preparation conditions on the morphology and in vitro AZT release pattern were investigated. in vitro release studies showed that different release pattern and release rates could be achieved by simply modifying factors in the fabrication conditions such as the type and amount of surfactant, initial amount of loaded drug, the temperature of solvent evaporation, and so on. PLCA microspheres prepared by 5% of initial drug loading, 1.0% (w/w) of surfactant concentration, and 25$\^{C}$ of solvent evaporation temperature were free from initial burst effect and a near-zero order sustained release was observed. Possible mechanisms of the near-zero order sustained release for our system have been proposed.

  • 이 연구는 한국형 체감온도지수를 개발 보급하기 위한 생명기상분야 기초연구로서 현재 기상청에서 사용하고 있는 체감온도 모델의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 한반도는 도심지역, 해안도서지역, 내륙지역, 산간지역으로 구분되었다. 평균기온의 경우, 해안도서지역에서 가장 높았으며, 산간지역에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 최저기온은 도심지역과 해안도서지역에서 영하 $20^{\circ}C$이고, 내륙지역과 산간지역에서 영하 $30^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 풍속의 경우, 평균 풍속과 최대 풍속이 모두 해안도서지역에서 강하게 나타났다. 그리고 동계의 지역별 기온과 풍속의 분포는 전 기간의 분포와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. JAG/TI와 Missenard 모델의 민감도 분석 결과, 기온이 체감온도에 더 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 영하의 온도에서는 풍속의 영향이 증가한다.
