Since regulations of exhaust emissions are continuously reinforced, studies to reduce harmful emissions during the cold start period of SI engines have been carried out very extensively worldwide. During the cold start period, raising the temperature of cold exhaust gas is a key strategy to minimize the light-off time of three way catalysts. In this study, a synthetic gas containing a large amount of hydrogen was injected into the exhaust manifold to raise the exhaust gas temperature and to reduce harmful emissions. The authors tried to evaluate changes in exhaust gas temperature and harmful emissions through controlling the engine operating parameters such as ignition timings and lambda values. Also the authors investigated both combustion stability and reduction of harmful emissions. Experimental results showed that combustion of the synthetic gas in the exhaust manifold is a very effective way for solving the problems of harmful emissions and light-off time. The results also showed that the strategy of retarded ignition timings and increased air/fuel ratios with ESGI is effective in raising exhaust gas temperature and reducing harmful emissions. Futhermore, the results showed that engine operating parameters ought to be controlled to lambda = 1.2 and ignition timing = $0{\sim}3^{\circ}$ conditions to reduce harmful emissions effectively under stable combustion conditions.

This paper presents the results of a series of tests carried out on hollow and concrete-filled coldformed steel sections subjected to axial and bending forces. The effects of eccentricity ratio and strength of in-fill on the behaviour of these sections were studied. A total of forty-eight medium sized columns and six beams were tested to failure. Extensive measurements of material properties, strains, axial shortening and lateral deflection were carried out. Interaction of local and overall buckling was observed in the tests. Failure mode observations were local buckling coupled with overall buckling. A description of the specially fabricated end fixtures for applying eccentric loading to the columns and to simulate pinned end condition is also presented. The experimental results of hollow columns are compared with the existing Indian, British and American codes of practice and the results of concrete-filled columns are compared with EC4 recommendations. It is seen that in the case of hollow columns predictions based on British and American codes of practice and in the case of concrete-filled columns predictions based on EC4 recommendations agree reasonably well with the experimental results. From the experiments it is seen that the provision of in-fill substantially increases the ultimate load carrying capacity of the order of one and a half to two times and the increase in strength of the in-filled concrete from a low grade concrete of compressive strength 24.94 MPa to a high grade concrete of compressive strength 33.26 MPa increases the ultimate load carrying capacity by one and a half times irrespective of the eccentricity of loading.

한중콘크리트 공사에 적용을 검토할 수 있는 초속경 콘크리트는 초기 급속한 발열반응을 통해 동해를 입기 전에 소요의 강도를 확보할 수 있을 것이며, 열 보상을 통해 시공환경이 유지될 경우 강도발현에 필요한 시간을 단축할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 일반 콘크리트는 영하의 기온에서 타설할 경우 양호한 경화를 얻을 수 없으며, 저온에서 동해를 방지하고 경화성을 확보하기 위하여 내한방동제를 첨가하여 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 내한방동제의 대부분은 염화물을 주성분으로 하고 이를 다량으로 사용할 경우, 콘크리트의 동결을 방지하고 시멘트의 수화반응을 촉진시켜 응결시간을 단축하고 초기강도 증진을 유도하는 효과가 있는 반면, 장기재령에서 강도발현이 문제가 되고, 경제성이 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 최근 연구되고 있는 마그네시아 인산염 복합체는 초속경성이 있고 저온에서도 수화반응이 가능한 것으로 보고되고 있어 새로운 한중공사 및 극한지용 건설재료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 한중공사 및 극한지에서 사용이 가능한 건설재료의 개발을 위한 사전 연구의 일환으로서, 마그네시아 인산염 복합체를 활용한 모르타르에 대해 온도의 영향을 고려한 재료 물성 평가를 실시하고 적정 배합을 제안하고자 한다.

본 연구는 한중환경에서 이중 버블시트를 이용한 단열보온 양생 공법을 슬래브 및 매스 콘크리트에 활용한 결과를 검토한 것이다. 먼저, 이중 버블시트를 적용한 경우 타설 후 2일까지 외기온이 영하$9^{\circ}C$까지 강하하는 경우에도 슬래브콘크리트는 영상 $6^{\circ}C$에서 $10^{\circ}C$이상을 유지하여 초기동해가 방지됨을 알 수 있었고, 매스콘크리트의 경우에는 중심부 최고온도와 표층부 최고온도차이가 $6^{\circ}C$이하로 나타나 내부구속에 의한 수화열 균열은 발생하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 본 현장에 적용된 이중버블시트를 이용한 단열보온양생 공법은 동절기 영하에서도 안정된 양생온도 관리로 초기동해를 방지할 수 있었고, 소요강도를 확보할 수 있었다. 또한, 가시설의 설치 해체 공정을 줄여 공기단축 효과와 인건비절감등 양생비용의 감소로써 한중콘크리트의 품질확보에 우수한 효과가 있음과 동시에 단열 양생공법의 경제성이 입증되었다.

무전극 램프의 광학적 특성 분석을 위한 연구에서는 램프 표면의 온도를 모두 동일하게 취급해 왔었다. 그러나 이러한 방법에 의해 광학적 특성을 해석하는 것은 정확도를 고려할 때 충분하지 않은 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하고자 벌브 내부를 열점과 냉점의 두 부분으로 나누어 서로 다른 온도에 의한 수은의 밀도차이를 분석하였다. 여기서는 온도와 밀도의 분포가 선형적임을 가정하였다. 열점과 냉점의 밀도의 재분배를 통한 광 특성의 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 재분배된 방전기체 간의 밀도의 비가 광 특성의 포화에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있음도 확인하였다. 따라서 가정을 통한 설계 방법이 실제의 설계에서 매우 유용함을 입증하였으며, 또한 광 특성이 안정되는 시간을 단축하는 방법에 대한 성과도 확보하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 원통형 무전극 방전램프의 효율적인 설계의 한 방안을 제시하였다.

In cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, such as trusses, transmission towers and portal frames, the use of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections are becoming increasingly popular. In such an arrangement, intermediate welds or screw fasteners are required at discrete points along the length, preventing the angle sections from buckling independently. Limited research is available in the literature on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. The issue is addressed herein. This paper presents an experimental investigation on both the welded and screw fastened back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections under axial compression. The load-axial shortening and the load verses lateral displacement behaviour along with the deformed shapes at failure are reported. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was then developed, which includes material non-linearity, geometric imperfections and modelling of intermediate fasteners. The FE model was validated against the experimental test results, which showed good agreement, both in terms of failure loads and deformed shapes at failure. The validated FE model was then used for the purpose of a parametric study to investigate the effect of different thicknesses, lengths and, yield stresses of steel on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. Five different thicknesses and seven different lengths (stub to slender columns) with two different yield stresses were investigated in the parametric study. Axial strengths obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses were used to assess the performance of the current design guidelines as per the Direct Strength Method (DSM); obtained comparisons show that the current DSM is conservative by only 7% on average, while predicting the axial strengths of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections.

This paper reports on experiments addressing the buckling and collapse behavior of an innovative built-up cold-formed steel (CFS) columns. The built-up column consists of four individual CFS lipped channels, two of them placed back-to-back at the web using two self-drilling screw fasteners at specified spacing along the column length, while the other two channels were connected flange-to-flange using one self-drilling screw fastener at specified spacing along the column length. In total, 12 experimental tests are reported, covering a wide range of column lengths from stub to slender columns. The initial geometric imperfections and material properties were determined for all test specimens. The effect of screw spacing, load-versus axial shortening behaviour and buckling modes for different lengths and screw spacing were investigated. Nonlinear finite element (FE) models were also developed, which included material nonlinearities and initial geometric imperfections. The FE models were validated against the experimental results, both in terms of axial capacity and failure modes of built-up CFS columns. Furthermore, using the validated FE models, a parametric study was conducted which comprises 324 models to investigate the effect of screw fastener spacing, thicknesses and wide range of lengths on axial capacity of back-to-back and flange-to-flange built-up CFS channel sections. Using both the experimental and FE results, it is shown that design in accordance with the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and Australia/New Zealand (AS/NZS) standards is slightly conservative by 6% on average, while determining the axial capacity of back-to-back and flange-to-flange built-up CFS channel sections.

The FE model was validated against the experimental test results, which showed good agreement, both in terms of failure loads and deformed shapes at failure. The validated finite element model was then used for the purpose of a parametric study comprising 96 models to investigate the effect of longer to shorter leg ratios, stiffener provided in the longer leg, thicknesses and lengths on axial strength of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections. Four different thicknesses and seven different lengths (stub to slender columns) with three overall widths to the overall depth (B/D) ratios were investigated in the parametric study. Axial strengths obtained from the experimental tests and FE analyses were used to assess the performance of the current design guidelines as per the Direct Strength Method (DSM); obtained comparisons show that the current DSM is conservative by only 7% and 5% on average, while predicting the axial strengths of back-to-back built-up CFS unequal angle sections with and without the stiffener, respectively.

A method to mitigate the thermal stratification flow of a horizontal pipe line is proposed by heating external bottom of the pipe with electrical heat tracing. Unsteady two dimensional model has been used to numerically investigate an effect of the external Denting to the thermally stratified flow. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using the control volume formulation and SIMPLE algorithm. Temperature distribution, streamline profile and Nusselt numbers of fluids and pipe walls with time are analyzed in case of externally heating condition. no numerical result of this study shows that the maximum dimensionless temperature difference between the hot and the cold sections of pipe inner wall is 0.424 at dimensionless time 1,500 ann the thermal stratification phenomena is disappeared at about dimensionless time 9,000. This result means that external heat tracing can mitigate the thermal stratification phenomena by lessening $\Delta$ $T_{ma}$ about 0.1 and shortening the dimensionless time about 132 in comparison with no external heat tracing.rnal heat tracing.

The amount of production orders from Japanese car and construction machine industries have slightly increased in 2002, but the costs of the forged parts have decreased due to severe competitions with the other Asian countries. Most of the forging industries and some universities are making more efforts for technological researches and developments to meet the demand for higher accuracy and higher quality products, shortening of delivery time, and development of forged parts for new industrial fields. Some helical gears of which surfaces can be net-shaped have been started for commercial base production to be shipped to car industries. Some non-graphite lubricants for hot forging and some conversion coating free lubricants for cold forging have been developed to improve some environmental problems.
