This study investigates the direct displacement based design (DDBD) approach for different types of reinforced concrete structural systems including single moment-resisting, dual wall-frame and dual steel-braced systems. In this methodology, the displacement profile is calculated and the equivalent single degree of freedom system is then modeled considering the damping characteristics of each member. Having calculated the effective period and secant stiffness of the structure, the base shear is obtained, based on which the design process can be carried out. For each system three frames are designed using DDBD approach. The frames are then analyzed using nonlinear time-history analysis with 7 earthquake accelerograms and the damage index is investigated through lateral drift profile of the models. Results of the analyses and comparison of the nonlinear time-history analysis results indicate efficiency of the DDBD approach for different reinforced concrete structural systems.

This paper presents an optimal design of a direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator for a small-scale wind energy conversion system. An analytical model of a small-scale grid-connected wind energy conversion system is presented, and the effects of generator design parameters on the payback period of the system are investigated. An optimization procedure based on genetic algorithm method is then employed to optimize four design parameters of the generator for use in a region with relatively low wind-speed. The aim of optimization is minimizing the payback period of the initial investment on wind energy conversion systems for residential applications. This makes the use of these systems more economical and appealing. Finite element method is employed to evaluate the performance of the optimized generator. The results obtained from finite element analysis are close to those achieved by analytical model.

History , achievement and future of direct-wet-rice-seeding technique in Korea and problems encountered in on-farming research were introduced. Some farmers are very eager to lower production cost and save labor. Their effort results in several direct-wet-seeding methods and seeding machines. The design problems and improvement points related to the direct -wet-rice-seeding machines were drawn out of field test.

Soil-reinforcement interaction mechanism is an important issue in the design of geosynthetic reinforced soil structures. This mechanism depends on the soil properties, reinforcement characteristics and interaction between these two elements (soil and reinforcement). In this work the shear strength of sand/geotextile interfaces were characterized through direct and simple shear tests. The direct shear tests were performed on a conventional direct shear device and on a large scale direct shear apparatus. Unreinforced sand and one layer reinforced sand specimens were characterized trough simple shear tests. The interfaces shear strength achieved with the large scale direct shear device were slightly larger than those obtained with the conventional direct shear apparatus. Notwithstanding the differences between the shear strength characterization through simple shear and direct shear tests, it was concluded that the shear strength of one layer reinforced sand is similar to the sand/geotextile interface direct shear strength.

An innovative Hybrid Passive Resistive configuration for Truss Girder Frames (HPR-TGFs) is introduced in the present study. The proposed system is principally consisting of Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs) and Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) as its seismic resistive components. Concurrent utilization of these devices will develop an efficient energy dissipating mechanism which is able to mitigate lateral displacements as well as the base shear, simultaneously. However, under certain circumstances which the presence of FVDs might not be essential, the proposed configuration has the potential to incorporate double BRBs in order to achieve the redundancy of alternative load bearing paths. This study is extending the modern Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) procedure as the design methodology for HPR-TGF systems. Based on a series of nonlinear time history analysis, it is demonstrated that the design outcomes are almost identical to the pre-assumed design criteria. This implies that the ultimate characteristics of HPR-TGFs such as lateral stiffness and inter-story drifts are well-proportioned through the proposed design procedure.

선행 연구에서는 할선강성에 대한 선형해석을 수행함으로써 편리하게 비탄성 설계를 할 수 있는 직접 비탄성 스트럿-타이 모델이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존 직접 비탄성 스트럿-타이 모델을 개선하여, 반복계산 없이 할선강성에 대한 한번의 선형해석으로 철근콘크리트 부재의 비탄성 설계를 수행할 수 있는 간략화된 직접 비탄성 스트럿-타이 모델 (simplified direct inelastic strut-and-tie model, 이하 S-DISTM)을 개발하였다. S-DISTM은 철근콘크리트 부재를 콘크리트 압축 스트럿과 철근 인장 타이로 모델링한다. 스트럿과 타이 요소는 설계자의 설계 전략에 따라 탄성강성 또는 할선강성의 선형 재료 모델을 사용한다. 스트럿과 타이 요소의 파괴 기준을 정의하기 위하여 콘크리트 압축파괴 및 철근 인장파단 등을 고려하였다. S-DISTM을 사용하여 깊은보, 연결보, 전단벽 등 다양한 전단지배 철근콘크리트 부재의 비탄성 설계를 수행하였고, 비탄성 설계로 결정된 철근양, 변형 능력 등을 기존 실험 결과와 비교하였다.

To ensure the successful launch of the Korea pathfinder lunar orbiter (KPLO) mission, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is now performing extensive trajectory design and analysis studies. From the trajectory design perspective, it is crucial to prepare contingency trajectory options for the failure of the first lunar brake or the failure of the first lunar orbit insertion (LOI) maneuver. As part of the early phase trajectory design and analysis activities, the required time of flight (TOF) and associated delta-V magnitudes for each recovery maneuver (RM) to recover the KPLO mission trajectory are analyzed. There are two typical trajectory recovery options, direct recovery and low energy recovery. The current work is focused on the direct recovery option. Results indicate that a quicker execution of the first RM after the failure of the first LOI plays a significant role in saving the magnitudes of the RMs. Under the conditions of the extremely tight delta-V budget that is currently allocated for the KPLO mission, it is found that the recovery of the KPLO without altering the originally planned mission orbit (a 100 km circular orbit) cannot be achieved via direct recovery options. However, feasible recovery options are suggested within the boundaries of the currently planned delta-V budget. By changing the shape and orientation of the recovered final mission orbit, it is expected that the KPLO mission may partially pursue its scientific mission after successful recovery, though it will be limited.

위성체의 열진공 시험에는 우주 열환경을 모사하기 위하여 직접 방열판 표면에 열을 공급하는 접촉식 히터와 일정 거리를 두고 간접적으로 복사에 의해 열을 공급하는 비접촉식 히터가 사용된다. 이는 태양 복사 뿐 아니라 지구의 적외선 및 알베도(Albedo)를 모사하며, 열환경 시험 요구에 따라 정의된 온도 조건에 필요한 열을 공급하기도 한다. 일반적으로 접촉식 히터 사용이 불가할 경우 비접촉식 히터를 사용하게 되는데, 이때 복사에 의한 열전달량을 고려하여 적절한 히터파워를 산정하고 히터 미작동시 방열판과 챔버 슈라우드와 열교환에 있어 간섭이 없도록 히터의 위치를 설정하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문은 열해석상용 프로그램인 SINDA를 이용하여 비접촉식 히터의 최적화 열설계를 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 시험시 유효한 설계값을 도출하였다.
