Semi-submergible, Tension-leg Platform 등과 같은 부유식 해양구조물에서 점성효과를 고려하여 항력에 기인한 점성 표류력를 구하는 것은 최근까지 잘 고려되지 않았던 설계 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 파랑과 조류를 고려한 부유식 수직 실린더 구조물에 작용하는 평균 점성 표류력에 대한 해석적 수식 해를 구하였다. 기존의 고정된 실린더에서 구한 방식과 같이 실린더의 수면 위로 나온 부분을 Splash Zone, 수면 아래의 잠긴 부분을 Submerged Zone 으로 구분하였다. 파랑이 존재하는 경우는 Splash zone 에서만 고려되고, 파랑과 조류를 포함한 경우는 Splash Zone 과 Submerged Zone 모두에서 각각 식을 구하였다. 기존 연구의 RAO 결과값을 활용하여 고정된 실린더에 작용하는 평균 점성 표류력의 계산 결과와 비교하였다. Splash Zone에서 파랑만 존재하는 경우를 제외하고 대부분의 주파수 영역 대에서 부유식 실린더에 작용하는 평균 점성 표류력의 크기가 상대적으로 고정된 실린더에 작용하는 표류력의 크기보다 크게 나오는 것을 볼 수 있으며, 특히 조류가 상대적으로 더 중요하게 고려되는 경우 더 크게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과를 통해 부유식 해양 구조물 설계시 항력으로 인한 점성 표류력의 추론을 제시할 수 있다.

Morphological structure of tin oxide thin films was examined by transmission electron microscopy. TEM samples were prepared by chemical etching in hydrogen fluoride solution: firstly floating for 2-3 minutes in acid solution, then suspending on water found to be useful for the preparation of TEM samples. Electron micrographs showed the size of grains of the tin oxide crystal was dependent upon the temperature of the film preparation. Dopant concentration and heating time also influence the grain size. The resistivity of tin oxide material was explained by grain size and grain boundaries in a limited temperature and dopant concentration ranges.

부유체 강제동요문제를 수치해석하는 데에는 두가지 어려움이 따른다. 첫째는 교차점주위의 급격한 유동이고 둘째는 무한원방처리이다. 본 논문에서는 무한원방처리에 주안점을 두어, 자유표면의 Taylor 전개 및 F.F.T. 적용으로 계산시간을 단축시켜 수치해석하였다. 즉 Green 정리를 이용하여 해를 표현한 후, 축차방법에 의하여 해를 구한다. 축차단계에서는 계산식을 자유표면 기울기에 대하여 Taylor 전개하여 Convolution 형태로 변형한 후 F.F.T. 를 적용함으로써 계산시간을 O(Nlog N)으로 유지할 수 있었다. 수치검증을 위하여 부유체 선형문제와 압력장의 비선형 문제를 수치해석하여 비교하였고, 이를 확장하여 부유체의 강제동요문제를 수치해석하였는데, 계산시간을 O(Nlog N)으로 유지하면서 수치해석할 수 있었다.

In submerged floating tunnels (SFTs), a next-generation maritime transportation infrastructure, the tunnel module floats in water due to buoyancy. For the effective and economical use of SFTs, connection with the ground is inevitable, but the stability of the shore connection is weak due to stress concentration caused by the displacement difference between the subsea bored tunnel and the SFT. The use of an elastic joint has been proposed as a solution to solve the stability problem, but it changes the dynamic characteristics of the SFT, such as natural frequency and mode shape. In this study, the finite element method (FEM) was used to simulate the elastic joints in shore connections, assuming that the ground is a hard rock without displacement. In addition, a small-scale model test was performed for FEM model validation. A parametric study was conducted on the resonance behavior such as the natural frequency change and velocity, stress, and reaction force distribution change of the SFT system by varying the joint stiffness under loading conditions of various frequencies and directions. The results indicated that the natural frequency of the SFT system increased as the stiffness of the elastic joint increased, and the risk of resonance was the highest in the low-frequency environment. Moreover, stress concentration was observed in both the SFT and the shore connection when resonance occurred in the vertical mode. The results of this study are expected to be utilized in the process of quantitative research such as designing elastic joints to prevent resonance in the future.

The study was carried out for the preparation and evaluation of a buoyant hydrogel matrix (BHM), which is buoyant in a neutral or in pH 2.0 buffer solution, by the aspects of buoyancy, swelling, and drug release. Physical mixtures of HPC and CP in various molar ratio were employed as a mucoadhesive polymer which swells and controls the rate of drug release. Anhydrous citric acid and sodium bicarbonate in the molar ratio of 1:3 were employed as effervescing agents which provide a buoyancy for the mucoadhesive polymeric matrix. The buoyancy in vitro was expressed as both floating time$(T_{fl})$ and surfing time$(T_{sf})$, which are the time required for floating from the bottom to the surface of the medium and the time to keep the floated state at the surface of medium during release studies, respectively. A close relationship was observed between the buoyancy and the amount of effervescing agent added. $T_{fl}$ of the buoyant hydrogel matrices were decreased to about 10 seconds linearly with increasing the amount of effervescing agent in the range of 5 to 15%. $T_{sf}$ of the buoyant hydrogel matrices were varied from 1 to 3 hr depending on the amount of effervescing agent. The swelling was observed by changes in diameter of the buoyant hydrogel matrices in distilled water or acidic buffer solution, resulted in dependences on pH and the amount of effervescing agents. The release of hydrochlorothiazide from the buoyant hydrogel matrices were followed by apparent zero-order kinetics, while the buoyant hydrogel matrices were floated at the surface and maintaining their swollen shapes.

Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS) are one among the solution to pursue an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology in birthing land from the sea. VLFS are extra-large in size and mostly extra-long in span. VLFS may be classified into two broad categories, namely the pontoon type and semi-submersible type. The pontoon-type VLFS is a flat box structure floating on the sea surface and suitable in regions with lower sea state. The semi-submersible VLFS has a deck raised above the sea level and supported by columns which are connected to submerged pontoons and are subjected to less wave forces. These structures are very flexible compared to other kinds of offshore structures, and its elastic deformations are more important than their rigid body motions. This paper presents hydroelastic analysis carried out on an innovative VLFS called truss pontoon Mobile Offshore Base (MOB) platform concept proposed by Srinivasan and Sundaravadivelu (2013). The truss pontoon MOB is modelled and hydroelastic analysis is carried out using HYDRAN-XR^* for regular 0° waves heading angle. Results are presented for variation of added mass and damping coefficients, diffraction and wave excitation forces, RAOs for translational, rotation and deformational modes and vertical displacement at salient sections with respect to wave periods.

Stone column installation is a convenient method for improvement of soft ground. In very soft clays, in order to increase the lateral confinement of the stone columns, encasing the columns with high stiffness and creep resistant geosynthetics has proved to be a successful solution. This paper presents the results of three dimensional finite element analyses for evaluating improvement in behaviour of ordinary stone columns (OSCs) installed in soft clay by geotextile encasement under monotonic and cyclic loading by a comprehensive parametric study. The parameters include length and stiffness of encasement, types of stone columns (floating and end bearing), frictional angle and elastic modulus of stone column's material and diameter of stone columns. The results indicate that increasing the stiffness of encasement clearly enhances cyclic behaviour of geotextile encased stone columns (GESCs) in terms of reduction in residual settlement. Performance of GESCs is less sensitive to internal friction angle and elasticity modulus of column's materials in comparison with OSCs. Also, encasing at the top portion of stone column up to triple the diameter of column is found to be adequate in improving its residual settlement and at all loading cycles, end bearing columns provide much higher resistance than floating columns.

Herein the motion of a freely-floating sphere in a water of finite depth is analysed within the framework of a linear potential theory. A velocity potential describing fluid motion is generated by distributing pulsating sources and dipoles on the immersed surface of the sphere, without introducing an inner flow model. The potential becomes the solution of an integral equation of Fredholm's second type. In the light of the vertical axisymmetry of the flow, surface integrals reduce to line integrals, which are approximated by summation of the products of the integrand and the length of segments along the contour. Following this computational scheme the diffraction potential and the radiation potential are determined from the same algorithm of solving a set of simultaneous linear equations. Upon knowing values of the potentials hydrodynamic forces such as added mass, hydrodynamic damping and wave exciting forces are evaluated by the integrating pressure over the immersed surface of the sphere. It is found in the case of finite water depth that the hydrodynamic forces are much different from the corresponding ones in deep water. Accordingly motion response of the sphere in a water of finite depth displays a particular behavior both in a amplitude and phase.

The theoretical background and a numerical solution procedure for a time domain hydroelastic code are presented in this paper. The code combines a VOF-based free surface flow solver with a flexible body motion solver where the body linear elastic deformation is described by a modal superposition of dry mode shapes expressed in a local floating frame of reference. These mode shapes can be obtained from any finite element code. The floating frame undergoes a pseudo rigid-body motion which allows for a large rigid body translation and rotation and fully preserves the coupling with the local structural deformation. The formulation relies on the ability of the flow solver to provide the total fluid action on the body including e.g. the viscous forces, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, slamming forces and the fluid damping. A numerical simulation of a flexible barge is provided and compared to experiments to show that the VOF-based flow solver has this ability and the code has the potential to predict the global hydroelastic responses accurately.
