Lightness and flexibility of membrane roofs make them very sensitive to any external load. One of the most important parameters that controls their behavior, especially under wind load is the sag/span ratio of edge cables. Based on the value of the pretension force in the edge cables and the horizontal projection of the actual area covered by the membrane, an optimized design range of cable sag/span ratios has been determined through carrying on several membrane form-finding analyses. Fully coupled fluid structure dynamic analyses of these membrane roofs are performed under wind load with several conditions using the CFD method. Through investigating the numerical results of these analyses, the behavior of membrane roofs with cables sag/span ratios selected from the previously determined optimized design range has been evaluated.

This paper aims to describe the aerodynamic vibrations of various structural elements of bridges, which are particular issues at present. The aerodynamic countermeasures for those vibrations are also discussed considering the generation mechanisms of the aerodynamic instabilities. In this paper, an example of vortex-induced oscillation of bridge deck and its lesson are discussed. Next, the wind-induced cable vibration and its aerodynamic countermeasures are reviewed. Then, the aerodynamic characteristics on two edge girders and their feasibility for application to long span cable-stayed bridges are considered. Furthermore, the bridge decks for future long span bridges are proposed and their aerodynamic characteristics are also discussed.

Large-span cantilevered roof represents a unique type of structure that is vulnerable to wind loads. Inspired by the need to maximumly reducing the rooftop wind loads, this study examined the feasibility of positioning vented slots on the leading edge, and the effectiveness of such aerodynamic mitigation measures are assessed via both physical and numerical simulations. The reliability of numerical simulation was evaluated via comparisons with the wind tunnel tests. The results indicated that, the variation of venting hole arrangement can cause significant change in the rooftop wind load characteristics. For the cases involved in this study, the maximum reduction of mean and peak wind suction coefficients are found to be 9% and 8% as compared to the original circular slot without venting holes. In addition, the effect of slot shape is also evident. It was shown that the triangular shaped slot tends to increase the wind suction near the leading edge, whereas the hexagonal and octagonal shaped slots are found to decrease the wind suction. In particular, with the installation of octagonal shaped slot, the maximum reduction of wind suction coefficients near the leading edge reaches up to 31% as compared to the circular shaped slot, while the maximum reduction of mean wind suction coefficients is about 30%.

Conical vortices generated at the corner regions of large-span flat roofs have been investigated by using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Mean and instantaneous vector fields for velocity, vorticity, and streamlines were measured at three visual planes and for two different flow angles of $15^{\circ}$. The results indicated that conical vortices occur when the wind is not perpendicular to the front edge. The location of the leading edge corresponding to the negative peak vorticity and maximum turbulent kinetic energy was found at the center of the conical vortex. The wind pressure reaches the maximum near the leading edge roof corner, and a triangle of severe suctions zone appears downstream. The mean pressure in uniform flow is greater than that under turbulent flow condition, while a significant increase in the fluctuating wind pressure occurs in turbulent streams. From its emergence to stability, the shape of the vortex cross-section is nearly elliptical, with increasing area. The angle that forms between the vortex axis and the leading edge is much smaller in turbulent streams. The detailed flow structures and characteristics obtained through FLUENT simulation are in agreement with the experimental results. The three dimensional (3-D) structure of the conical vortices is clearly observed from the comprehensive arrangement of several visual planes, and the inner link was established between the vortex evolution process, vortex core position and pressure distribution.

병풀추출물은 다양한 효능으로 인하여 화장품 원료로 많이 사용되지만, 분자량이 크고 용해도가 낮아 피부에의 흡수 효과를 기대하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 지질 기반 다양한 형태의 리포좀을 개발하여 피부흡수율을 높이고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 리포좀에 edge activator로서 계면활성제를 사용하여 트렌스퍼좀을 제조함으로써 피부흡수율을 높이고자 하였다. 리포좀과 Span 80 및 Tween 20, 60, 80, 85를 각각 함유한 트렌스퍼좀을 high-pressure homogenizer를 이용하여 제조하였고, 입자크기, 다분산지수, 제타전위, 피부흡수율에 대하여 평가하였다. 그 결과, 25 ℃에서 60 d까지 입자크기, 다분산지수 및 제타전위의 물성변화가 거의 없었으며, 45 ℃에서는 60 d 경과 후에 Tween 20, 60, 80을 함유한 트렌스퍼좀의 입자크기가 증가하였다. Franz diffusion cell을 이용한 피부흡수율은 병풀추출물의 주요 성분 중 하나인 madecassoside를 지표 성분으로 사용하여 계산하였다. 그 결과, Tween 20을 함유한 제형에서 가장 흡수율이 높았으며, 반면에 Span 80을 함유한 제형에서 가장 적었다. 흡수계수(Kp) 값에 의하면 모든 제형에서 'very fast'로 나타났고, Span 80을 함유한 제형을 제외하고 리포좀보다 흡수 속도가 유사하거나 크게 나타났다. 이를 통하여 비이온성 계면활성제의 HLB 값이 클수록 트렌스퍼좀의 입자크기가 작았으며, 베시클 막의 유연성 향상으로 피부흡수율이 증가함을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 edge activator로서 계면활성제를 사용한 트렌스퍼좀은 화장품 원료나 제품으로서뿐만 아니라 피부흡수율 증가로 피부의 국소적 문제 해결 가능성을 기대할 수 있다.

The objective of this work is to present a conceptual design and the modelling of a distributed sensor system based on fiber optic devices (Fiber Bragg Grating, FBG), aimed at measuring span-wise and chord-wise variations of an adaptive (morphing) trailing edge. The network is made of two different integrated solutions for revealing deformations of the reference morphing structure. Strains are confined to typical values along the span (length) but they are expected to overcome standard ranges along the chord (width), up to almost 10%. In this case, suitable architectures may introduce proper modulations to keep the measured deformation low while preserving the information content. In the current paper, the designed monitoring system combines the use of a span-wise fiber reinforced patch with a chord-wise sliding beam. The two elements make up a closed grid, allowing the reconstruction of the complete deformed shape under the acceptable assumption that the transformation refers to regular geometry variations. Herein, the design logic and some integration issues are reported. Preliminary experimental test results are finally presented.

An L(2; 1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V (G) to the set of all non-negative integers such that ${\mid}f(u)-f(v){\mid}{\geq}2$ if d(u, v) = 1 and ${\mid}f(u)-f(v){\mid}{\geq}1$ if d(u, v) = 2. The ${\lambda}$-number of G, denoted ${\lambda}(G)$, is the smallest number k such that G admits an L(2, 1)-labeling with $k=\max\{f(u){\mid}u{\in}V(G)\}$. In this paper, we consider the square of a cycle and provide exact value for its ${\lambda}$-number. In addition, we also completely determine its edge span.

최근 모바일 기기에 3차원 그래픽 디지털 콘텐츠들이 증가함에 따라 휴대용 기기에 적합한 3차원 그래픽 가속기의 연구와 설계는 점점 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저전력 3차원 그래픽 파이프라인에 적합한 효율적인 클리핑 구조를 제안한다. 많은 연산 사이클과 연산기를 필요로 하는 클리핑 연산을 두 단계로 나누어서 기하변환 엔진에서는 컬링 정렬(cull and sort) 유닛으로 구현하고, 실질적인 클리핑은 스캔 변환(scan conversion)에서 구현한다. 즉, 스캔 변환 처리기를 구성하고 있는 변처리 (edge walk) 유닛에서 Y축 클리핑을 함께 수행하고 스팬처리 (span processing) 유닛에서 X축과 Z축 클리핑을 함께 수행한다. 제안하는 기하 변환 엔진의 컬링 정렬 유닛은 기존 클리핑 유닛에 비해 면적과 동작 사이클이 크게 줄었고 스캔 변환 처리기의 면적은 거의 증가하지 않아 전반적으로 동작 속도 및 동작 효율을 높였다. 제안하는 클리핑 구조를 적용한 3차원 그래픽 가속기는 Verilog-HDL을 이용하여 설계하고 FPGA를 이용하여 검증하였다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the wind force distribution on the two single-span arched plastic house depending upon the house spacing and wind direction, which may provide the fundamental criteria for the structural design. In order to specify the wind force distribution, the variation of the wind force coefficients, the mean wind force coefficients and the drag force coefficients were estimated from the wind tunnel test data. The results obtained are as follows : 1. At the wind direction of 90$^{\circ}$, there was a typical span interval at which the maximum negative pressure was occured at the edge of the inside walls. 2. In the consideration of wind loads, the wind force coefficients estimated from independent single-span arched plastic house should not be directly applied to the structural design on the double houses separated. 3. The average maximum negative wind force on the inside walls was occured at the wind direction of 90$^{\circ}$, and the variations depending on the span intervals was not significant. 4. The average maximum drag force was occured at the wind direction of 300, and the magnitude of drag force was more significant at the first house. As the distance between two houses was increased, the drag force was slightly increased for every wind direction.

In this paper applicable range of U-Channel Bridge (UCB) that has recently been introduced as a new bridge type was studied. For structural analysis models used with the frame and plate elements was proposed, and verification of the models were performed. Using these structural models structural analysis of models with span length of 20m-45m and inner width of 5m-13m were performed. As a result for U-shape sections were applicable in the range of 20m span and 35m span, slab was applicable in the range of 5m inner width and 12m inner width. To increase applicable range of UCB H-shape sections and slab with rib were proposed. As a result UCB were applicable in the range of 20m span and 45m span, in the range of 5m inner width and 13m inner width.
