A hill-sliding technique was devised to extract Gaussian clusters from the multivariate probability density estimates of sample data for the first step of iterative unsupervised classification. The underlying assumption in this approach was that each cluster possessed a unimodal normal distribution. The key idea was that a clustering function proposed could distinguish elements of a cluster under formation from the rest in the feature space. Initial clusters were extracted one by one according to the hill-sliding tactics. A dimensionless cluster compactness parameter was proposed as a universal measure of cluster goodness and used satisfactorily in test runs with Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) data. The normalized divergence, defined by the cluster divergence divided by the entropy of the entire sample data, was utilized as a general separability measure between clusters. An overall clustering objective function was set forth in terms of cluster covariance matrices, from which the cluster compactness measure could be deduced. Minimal improvement of initial data partitioning was evaluated by this objective function in eliminating scattered sparse data points. The hill-sliding clustering technique developed herein has the potential applicability to decomposition of any multivariate mixture distribution into a number of unimodal distributions when an appropriate diatribution function to the data set is employed.

A rigorous and generic similarity solution is developed for assessment of the undrained expansion responses of a cylindrical cavity expansion in K₀-consolidated anisotropic soils. A K₀-consolidated anisotropic modified Cam-clay (K₀-AMCC) model that can represent the initial stress anisotropy and the effects of stress-induced anisotropy is used to model the soil behaviors during cavity expansion. All the seven basic unknowns, the three stress components, the pore water pressure, the particle velocity, the specific volume and the hardening parameter, are reduced to the functions of a dimensionless radial coordinate and are taken as coupled variables to formulate the problem. The governing equations are formulated by making use of the equilibrium equation, the constitutive equation, the consistency condition, the continuity condition and the undrained condition, which are then solved as an initial value problem. The proposed rigorous similarity solution is compared with some well-documented rigorous solutions to validate the solution and to highlight the special expansion responses in anisotropic soils. The results reveal that the present solution can yield more predictions for cavity expansion problems in soils with initial anisotropic stresses.

The effect of a reactant ratio on the growth of a buoyancy-driven instability in an irreversible A+B→C reaction system is analyzed theoretically and numerically. Taking a non-stoichiometric reactant ratio into account, new linear stability equations are derived without the quasi-steady state assumption (QSSA) and solved analytically. It is found that the main parameters to explain the present system are the Damköhler number, the dimensionless density difference of chemical species and the ratio of reactants. The present initial grow rate analysis without QSSA shows that the system is initially unconditionally stable regardless of the parameter values; however, the previous initial growth rate analysis based on the QSSA predicted the system is unstable if the system is physically unstable. For time evolving cases, the present growth rates obtained from the spectral analysis and pseudo-spectral method support each other, but quite differently from that obtained under the conventional QSSA. Adopting the result of the linear stability analysis as an initial condition, fully nonlinear direct numerical simulations are conducted. Both the linear analysis and the nonlinear simulation show that the reactant ratio plays an important role in the onset and the growth of the instability motion.

Turbulent wind flow over hilly terrains has been extensively investigated in the scientific literature and main findings have been included in technical standards. In particular, turbulent wind flow over nominally two-dimensional hills is often adopted as a benchmark to investigate wind turbine siting, estimate wind loading, and dispersion of particles transported by the wind, such as atmospheric pollutants, wind-driven rain, windblown snow. Windblown sand transport affects human-built structures and natural ecosystems in sandy desert and coastal regions, such as transport infrastructures and coastal sand dunes. Windblown sand transport taking place around any kind of obstacle is rarely in equilibrium conditions. As a result, the modelling of windblown sand transport over complex orographies is fundamental, even if seldomly investigated. In this study, the authors present a wind-sand tunnel test campaign carried out on a nominally two-dimensional sinusoidal hill. A first test is carried out on a flat sand fetch without any obstacle to assess sand transport in open field conditions. Then, a second test is carried out on the hill model to assess the sand flux overcoming the hill and the morphodynamic evolution of the sand sedimenting over its upwind slope. Finally, obtained results are condensed into a dimensionless parameter describing its sedimentation capability and compared with values resulting from other nominally two-dimensional obstacles from the literature.

This article develops a nonclassical size dependent nanoplate model to study the dynamic response of functionally graded carbon nanotube (FGCNT) nanoplates under a moving load. Both nonlocal and microstructure effects are incorporated through the nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory. To investigate the effect of reinforcement orientation of CNT, four different configurations are studied and analysed. The FGM gradation thorough the thickness direction is simulated using the power law. In the context of the first order shear deformation theory, the dynamic equations of motion and the associated boundary conditions are derived by Hamilton's principle. An analytical solution of the dynamic equations of motion is derived based on the Navier methodology. The proposed model is verified and compared with the available results in the literature and good agreement is found. The numerical results show that the dynamic performance of FGCNT nanoplates could be governed by the reinforcement pattern and volume fraction in addition to the non-classical parameters and the moving load dimensionless parameter. Obtained results are reassuring in design and analysis of nanoplates reinforced with CNTs.

본 논문은 낙동강 유역의 사질토 지반에 매입되어 수평 하중을 받는 모형 강관 말뚝의 수평 거동의 결과를 관찰하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 말뚝의 수평 거동에 대한 말뚝의 근입길이, 지반 상대밀도, 하중 재하속도, 말뚝두부의 구속조건, 그리고 지반내의 이질층의 영향에 관하여 실험적인 연구를 수행하고 이러한 영향들을 정량화 할 수 있는 실험결과를 얻었다. 또한, 수치해석 (p-y method. modifiled Vlasov method, Characteristic Load Method:CLM) 결과들과 비교 되었다. 본 연구에서 Vlasov 해석법에 기초한 new parameter는 깊이에 비례하는 지반반력 (KhD=nhizn)에 대하여 적용할 수 있도록 개발하였다. p-V해석 모델은 비선형 거동이며, 수평하중을 받는 깊은 기초의 설계에 유효한 방법이다. Characteristic load method (CLM)이라 불 리는 새로운 방법은 P-V해석법 보다 간편하며, p-V해석법에 의한 결과와 잘 일치하고 있다. CLM방법은 무차훤 변수들의 관계들로부터 수평 하중을 받는 말뚝들의 비선형 거동을 특성화 하기 위하여 차원 해석을 이용하고 있다. p-y해석법과 수정 Vlasov방법에 이용하는 지반반력 계수와 극한 지반반력들은 직접 전단시험 결과들을 역 해석하여 구하였다. 직접전단 시험에 의한 지반반력 계수와 극한 지반반력들의 수평거동 예측에 이용하기 위한 수정계수들은 각각 0.014~0.05, 0.2~0.4로 나타났다. p-y analysis. modified Vlasov method (new ${\gamma}$ parameter), CLM에 의한 수치해석 결과들은 상대밀도가 증가할수록 실험결과들과 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 y/D=0.2 이하에서 CLM 방법의 적용성이 입증되었다.

일정한 표면 온도를 갖는 쐐기형 물체 주위를 지나는 미세 극성유체의 정상상태 층류유동에 대하여 고찰하였다. Falkner & Skan에 의하여 유도된 상사해법을 이용하여 유동방향의 비선형 경계층 방정식의 해를 구하였다. 4계 Runge-Kutta법을 사용하여 Pr 수가 1일 경우의 열전달 특성을 수치적으로 해석하였고, 물질 매개변수에 대한 영향을 고찰하였다. 경계층을 가로지르는 무차원 속도와 Nusselt 수의 분포는 쐐기형 물체 주위를 지나는 Newtonian 유체의 경우와 비교하였다. Pr 수가 1이고 일정한 쐐기각을 가질 경우 물질 매개변수 K값이 증가할수록 Newtonian 유체의 경우보다 미세 극성유체의 경우 경계층의 두께가 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 그러나 물질매개변수 K값이 일정할 경우, Newtonian 유체보다 미세 극성유체의 열전달율이 더 작은 경향을 나타내었다.

위천대표유역의 11년간의 단독강우사상 3,550개를 선별하여 Yen-Chow의 삼각형 및 사다리꼴, Huff, Pilgrim-Cordery 및 Mononobe의 방법에 의한 지속시간별 설계강우의 시간적분포 특성치를 제시하였다. Yen-Chow 방법의 삼각형분포의 특성치 $a^0$값은 0.44에서 0.50까지 분포하였고, 사다리꼴은 지속시간이 길어질수록 무차원 특성변수 $h^0$의 값이 점차 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. Huff 4분기법에 의한 분석결과는 2구간 강우가 지배적이고 3구간 강우가 낮은 분포를 나타내었다. 또한 Pilgrim-Cordery방법에서는 6시간까지는 전방위 강우형이고, 6시간이상은 점차 후방위로 변화하였다. Mononobe 방법은 시간별 강우량을 중앙집중형으로 나타내었다. 본 방법들의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 위천유역의 32개 관측 강우-유출자료를 이용하였고, 분석결과 Yen-Chow 방법의 삼각형분포가 비교적 재현성이 높게 나타났다. 이들 설계강의의 시간적분포모형들은 미계측유역의 유출해석에 중요한 수단을 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

This study evaluates the effect of grooves on the stem part of a plunger on the lubrication characteristics of a fuel injection pump (FIP) by using hydrodynamic lubrication analysis. The current study uses the two-dimensional Reynolds equation to evaluate the changes in lubrication characteristics with variations in clearance, viscosity, and grooves for a laminar, incompressible, and unsteady state flow. This study investigates the lubrication characteristics by comparing the dimensionless minimum film thickness or the film parameter, which is the ratio of the minimum film thickness to surface roughness. The analysis method for the groove section differs depending on the depth of the groove. For instance, in the case of a shallow groove, the film thickness equation considers the depth of the groove, while in the case of a deep grove, it considers the flow continuity. The lubrication characteristics of the FIP are more sensitive to changes in the groove width than to changes in other design variables. Moreover, the application of a groove is more effective under low viscosity conditions. The smaller the distance from the edge of the stem part to the first groove in the case of shallow grooves, the better are the lubrication characteristics of the FIP. In contrast, in the case of deep grooves, the lubrication characteristics of the FIP improve as the distance increases. The application of shallow grooves is more effective for improving the lubrication characteristics than the application of deep grooves.

The present study covenants with the static and free vibration behavior of nanocomposite sandwich plates reinforced by carbon nanotubes resting on Pasternak elastic foundation. Uniformly distributed (UD-CNT) and functionally graded (FG-CNT) distributions of aligned carbon nanotube are considered for two types of sandwich plates such as, the face sheet reinforced and homogeneous core and the homogeneous face sheet and reinforced core. Based on the first shear deformation theory (FSDT), the Hamilton's principle is employed to derive the mathematical models. The obtained solutions are numerically validated by comparison with some available cases in the literature. The elastic foundation model is assumed as one parameter Winkler - Pasternak foundation. A parametric study is conducted to study the effects of aspect ratios, foundation parameters, carbon nanotube volume fraction, types of reinforcement, core-to-face sheet thickness ratio and types of loads acting on the bending and free vibration analyses. It is explicitly shown that the (FG-CNT) face sheet reinforced sandwich plate has a high resistance against deflections compared to other types of reinforcement. It is also revealed that the reduction in the dimensionless natural frequency is most pronounced in core reinforced sandwich plate.
