Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is a critical geomechanical parameter that plays a significant role in the evaluation of rocks. The practice of indirectly estimating said characteristics is widespread due to the challenges associated with obtaining high-quality core samples. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the gene expression programming (GEP) technique for the purpose of forecasting the UCS for various rock categories, including Schist, Granite, Claystone, Travertine, Sandstone, Slate, Limestone, Marl, and Dolomite, which were sourced from a wide range of quarry sites. The present study utilized a total of 170 datasets, comprising Schmidt hammer (SH), porosity (n), point load index (Is(50)), and P-wave velocity (Vp), as the effective parameters in the model to determine their impact on the UCS. The UCS parameter was computed through the utilization of the GEP model, resulting in the generation of an equation. Subsequently, the efficacy of the GEP model and the resultant equation were assessed using various statistical evaluation metrics to determine their predictive capabilities. The outcomes indicate the prospective capacity of the GEP model and the resultant equation in forecasting the unconfined compressive strength (UCS). The significance of this study lies in its ability to enable geotechnical engineers to make estimations of the UCS of rocks, without the requirement of conducting expensive and time-consuming experimental tests. In particular, a user-friendly program was developed based on the GEP model to enable rapid and very accurate calculation of rock's UCS, doing away with the necessity for costly and time-consuming laboratory experiments.

최근 전기 사용량이 증가하면서 전력수요와 공급능력의 불균형으로 인하여 전력예비율은 점차 감소되고 있으며, 전력 공급의 신뢰성도 떨어지고 있다. 이러한 배경 하에 전기저장장치(Battery Energy Storage System)는 수요관리의 유력한 수단 가운데 하나로써 중요성이 점차 부각되고 있다. 하지만, 이차전지를 이용한 전기저장장치는 아직 고가이므로 전력계통에 도입하여 운용하기 위해서는 경제성 평가가 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 전력회사용 BESS의 경제성평가를 위하여 BESS를 고려한 전원베스트믹스와 축사근사법을 이용하여, BESS의 도입 전 연간 운용비용과 BESS의 도입 후 연간 운용비용을 비교하여 최적의 BESS 도입용량과 도입비용을 산정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 수용가용 BESS의 경제성평가에서는 피크세이빙 및 부하평준화 기능을 통하여 수용가의 기본전기요금과 사용량전기요금을 감소시켜 최대한의 메리트를 추구하는 경제성평가 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 제안한 알고리즘을 이용하여, 모델 전력계통과 수용가(교육기관)를 대상으로 BESS의 경제성을 분석하여, 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다.

This paper focuses on the thermal deformation induced preload change in the tilting pad journal bearing, using a three-dimensional (3D) thermo-hydro-dynamic (THD) approach. Preload is considered as a critical factor in designing the tilting pad journal bearing. The initial preload measured under nil external load and nil thermal gradient is influenced by two factors, namely, the thermal deformation and elastic deformation. Thermal deformation is due to a temperature distribution in the bearing pads, whereas the elastic deformation is due to fluid forces acting on the pads. This study focuses on the changes induced in preload and film clearance due to thermal deformation. The generalized Reynolds equation is used to evaluate the force of the fluid and the 3D energy equation is used to calculate the temperature of the lubricant. The abovementioned equations are combined by establishing a relationship between viscosity and temperature. The heat transfer within the bearing pads, the lubricant, and the spinning journal is calculated using the heat flux boundary condition. The 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) is used in modeling the (1) heat conduction in the spinning journal and bearing pads, (2) thermal gradient induced thermal distortion of the spinning journal and pads, and (3) viscous shearing, and heat conduction and convection in a thin film. This evaluation method has an increased fidelity, and it can prove to be a cost-effective tool that can be used by designers to predict the dynamic behavior of a bearing.

An SHGC(Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) is a determinant of total flux of solar radiation coming indoor and a critical factor in evaluating heating and cooling load. U-value represents heat loss while SHGC denominates heat gain. Recently, windows with high solar gain, mid solar gain or low solar gain are being produced with the development of Low-E coating technology. This study evaluated changes in energy consumption for heating and cooling according to changes in SHGC when using double-layered Low-E glass and triple layered Low-E glass in relation to double layered clear glass as base glass. An Office was chosen for the evaluation. For deriving optical properties of each window, WINDOW 5 by LBNL, an U.S. based company. and the results were analyzed to evaluate performance of heat and cooling energy on anannual basis using ESP-r, an energy interpretation program. Compared to the energy consumption of the double layered clear glass, the double layered Low-E glass with high solar gain consumed $69.5kWh/m^2,yr$, 9% more than the double layered clear glass in cooling energy. The one with mid solar gain consumed $63.1kWh/m^2,yr$, 1% less than the base glass while the one with low solar gain consumed $57.6kWh/m^2,yr$, 10% less than the base glass. When it comes to tripled layered glass, the ones with high solar showed 2% of increase respectively while the one with mid solar gain and low solar gain resulted 5% and 11% in decrease in energy consumption due to low acquisition of solar radiation. With respect to cooling energy. it was found that the lower the SHGC. the less energy consumption becomes.

Welding-induced buckling distortion is one of the most problematic concerns in both design and fabrication of welded thin-plate structures. This paper deals with experimental and numerical results of the welding-induced longitudinal and/or buckling distortion occurring in welding of 6mm-thick AH36 high strength steel plates. Effects of the heat input and the plate size on the distortion were experimentally evaluated for square plates. Bead-on-plate welding was performed with the submerged arc welding process along the middle line of plate specimens. Experimental results showed that the longitudinal distortion made a single curvature in the plate, and the distortion magnitude along the weld centerline was proportional to the heat input and the plate size. The experimental results were used to examine the validity of the numerical simulation procedure for welding-induced distortion where the longitudinal distortion mode and magnitude were numerically quantified. Three-dimensional, large deformation, welding simulations were performed for selected weld models. Numerical results of the distortion mode and magnitude were in a good agreement with experimental ones. Depending on the presence of halting the distortion growth during the cooling cycle of welding, the condition discriminating buckling distortion from longitudinal distortion was established. Eigenvalue analyses were performed to check the buckling instability of tested plates with different sizes subjected to different heat inputs. The perturbation load pattern for the analysis was extracted from longitudinal inherent strain distributions. Critical buckling curve from the eigenvalue analyses revealed that the buckling instability is manifested when plate size or heat input increases.

오늘날 인프라 무선 랜은 많은 사용자들이 사용하는 중요한 인터넷 접속 기술이다. 지금까지 무선 랜에 관한 연구들은 물리 계층의 채널 다양성으로 인하여 발생하는 모델링 부정확성에 대해 충분히 고려하지 않고, MAC 프로토콜의 향상 및 분석 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 평가에만 초점을 맞추어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 계층 상호 간의 의존성의 중요성에 주목하는 새로운 시각으로 IEEE 802.11 무선 랜의 특성을 고찰한다. 실제 무선 랜 시스템 상에서 실험을 수행하여 물리 계층에서 발생하는 불평등성을 관찰하였다. 그리고, 그것이 노드들 간의 혼잡 수준을 떨어뜨리는 역할을 하여 경쟁 기반의 MAC 처리율이 혼잡 상태에서도 서서히 감소하는 것을 보인다. 반면에 노드들 간의 공평성과 노드 처리율의 안정성은 시스템 입력 로드가 특정 수준을 넘으면 크게 저하되는 것을 보인다. 이와 같은 결과를 통하여, 처리율을 높이기 위해 링크 계층에서 제어를 할 필요성은 적은 반면에, 공평한 자원 분배나 서비스의 품질을 보장하기 위해서는 트래픽 제어가 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 시스템의 성능 평가를 위하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 병행하였다.
