Purpose: Designing equipment for processing, sorting, and other post-harvest operations of agricultural products requires information about their physical properties. This study was conducted to investigate some of the mechanical and physical properties of Moringa oleifera L. pods and seeds. Methods: Properties such as the length, width, thickness, bulk density, porosity, mass, static coefficient of friction, and angle of repose were determined as a function of moisture content. Statistical data and force-deformation curves obtained at each loading orientation and moisture level were analyzed for bioyield point, bioyield strength, yield force, rupture point, and rupture strength using a testrometric machine. Result: The basic dimensions (length, width, and thickness) of moringa pods and seeds were found to increase linearly from 311.15 to 371.45 mm, 22.79 to 31.22 mm, and 22.24 to 29.88 mm, respectively, in the moisture range of 12 to 49.5% d.b. The coefficient of friction for both pods and seeds increased linearly with an increase in moisture content on all the surfaces used. The highest value was recorded on mild steel, with 0.581 for pods and 0.3533 for seeds, and the lowest on glass for pods, with a value of 0.501, and of 0.2933 for seeds on galvanized steel. The bioyield and rupture forces, bioyield and rupture energies, and deformation of the pods decreased with an increase in moisture content to a minimum value, then increased with further decrease within the moisture content range, while the yield force increased to a maximum value and then decreased as the moisture content increased. Conclusion: These results will help to determine the most suitable conditions for processing, transporting, and storing moringa pods, and to provide relevant data useful in designing handling and processing equipment for the crop.

In lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the stress induced by the volume change of an electrode during charge-discharge processes may often cause the mechanical integrity of the electrode to degrade. Polymer binders with enhanced mechanical properties are preferred for improved mechanical integrity and cycling stability of the electrode. In addition, given that sliding and shearing between the polymer binder and components in the electrode may readily occur, frictional and adhesion characteristics of the polymer binder may play a critical role in the mechanical integrity of the electrode. In this study, frictional and adhesion characteristics of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were investigated using a colloidal probe atomic force microscope. Friction loops were obtained under various normal forces ranging from 0 to 159 nN in air and electrolyte and then the interfacial shear strengths of PAN and PVDF in air were calculated to be $1.4{\pm}0.5$ and $1.3{\pm}0.3MPa$, respectively. The results show that in electrolyte, interfacial shear strength of PAN decreased slightly ($1.2{\pm}0.2MPa$), whereas that of PVDF decreased drastically ($0.06{\pm}0.01MPa$). Decreases in mechanical properties and adhesion in electrolyte may be responsible for the decrease in interfacial shear strength in electrolyte. The findings from this study may be helpful in developing polymer binders to improve the mechanical integrity of electrodes in LIBs.

본 연구는 동서독 경찰통합시 동독의 인민경찰이 통일독일의 경찰체제에 어떻게 흡수되었는지를 살펴보고, 이러한 독일의 사례가 남북한 통일시 북한경찰을 흡수 활용하는데 주는 시사점을 제시함을 목적으로 하였다. 한 연구에 의하면 통일과도기 북한 지역내 소요와 폭동에 대처하기 위해서는 대략 11만 명 정도의 경찰력이 필요하다고 한다. 이러한 대규모 인원을 통일이라는 급박한 상황에서 짧은 기간에 남한에서 전부 확보한다는 것은 결코 쉽지 않은 일이다. 바로 이점에서 독일 통일과정에서 구동독 경찰의 흡수 사례는 우리가 참고해야 할 좋은 시사점을 제시할 것이라고 본다. 서독 경찰은 경찰통합을 주도하면서 동독지역의 인민경찰을 일정한 요건 하에 선별하여 통일독일의 경찰로 재임용하여 활용하였기 때문이다. 이를 통해 향후 남북한 통일과정에서 요구되는 높은 치안수요에 대비하여 마찰 없이 북한 인민경찰을 흡수함으로써 남북한 경찰의 원활한 통합을 도모할 필요가 있다.

The structural integrity of tube bundles represents a major concern when dealing with high risk industries, such as nuclear steam generators, where the rupture of a tube or tubes will lead to the undesired mixing of the primary and secondary fluids. Flow-induced vibration is one of the major concerns that could compromise the structural integrity. The vibration is caused by fluid flow excitation. While there are several excitation mechanisms that could contribute to these vibrations, fluidelastic instability is generally regarded as the most severe. When this mechanism prevails, it could cause serious damage to tube arrays in a very short period of time. The tubes are therefore stiffened by means of supports to avoid these vibrations. To accommodate the thermal expansion of the tube, as well as to facilitate the installation of these tube bundles, clearances are allowed between the tubes and their supports. Progressive tube wear and chemical cleaning gradually increases the clearances between the tubes and their supports, which can lead to more frequent and severe tube/support impact and rubbing. These increased impacts can lead to tube damage due to fatigue and/or wear at the support locations. This paper presents simulations of a loosely supported multi-span U-bend tube subjected to turbulence and fluidelastic instability forces. The mathematical model for the loosely-supported tubes and the fluidelastic instability model is presented. The model is then utilized to simulate the nonlinear response of a U-bend tube with flat bar supports subjected to cross-flow. The effect of the support clearance as well as the support offset are investigated. Special attention is given to the tube/support interaction parameters that affect wear, such as impact and normal work rate.

Aerodynamic design of a vehicle has very important meaning on the fuel economy, dynamic stability and the noise & vibration of a moving vehicle. In this study, the correlation of aerodynamic effect between two model vehicles moving inline on a road was studied with the basic SAE model vehicle. Drag and lift are two main physical forces acting on the vehicle and both of them directly effect on the fuel economy and driving stability of the vehicle. For the research, the distance between two vehicles is varied from 5m to 30m at the fixed vehicle speed, 100km/h and the side-wind was assumed to be zero. The main issue for this numerical research is on the understanding of the interaction forces; lift and drag between two vehicles formed inline. From the study, it was found that as the distance between two vehicles is closer, the drag force acting on both the front and rear vehicle decreases and the lift force has same trend for both vehicle. As the distance(D) is 5m, the drag of the front vehicle reduced 7.4% but 28.5% for the rear-side vehicle. As the distance is 30m, the drag of the rear vehicle is still reduced to 22% compared to the single driving.

In order to predict the motions of a planing hull in waves, it is necessary to accurately estimate the force components acting on the hull such as the hydrodynamic force, buoyancy, and friction, as well as the wave exciting force. In particular, based on strip theory, hydrodynamic forces can be estimated by the summation of the forces acting on each cross-section of the hull. A non-linear strip method for planing hulls was mathematically developed by Zarnick, and his formula has been used to predict the vertical motions of prismatic planing hulls in regular waves. In this study, several improvements were added to Zarnick's formula to predict the vertical motions of warped planing hulls. Based on calm water model test results, the buoyancy force and moment correction coefficients were modified. Further improvements were made in the pile-up correction. Pile-up correction factors were changed according to variations of the deadrise angles using the results found in previous research. Using the same hull form, captive model tests were carried out in other recent research, and the results were compared with the present calculation results. The comparison showed reasonably good agreements between the model tests and present calculations.

원자로운전정지시 사용되는 제어봉집합체는 제어봉구동장치에서 분리되어 핵연료집합체의 안내관으로 자유낙하한다. 이 제어봉집합체의 주요변수로는 낙하시간과 충격속도가 있는데, 낙하시간은 원자로 안전정지와 관계가 있으며, 충격속도는 핵연료집합체의 건전성과 관계가 있다. 따라서, 제어봉 낙하시간과 충격속도의 적절한 결정은 제어봉집합체와 핵연료집합체의 설계에 매우 중요하다. 제어봉집합체는 낙하도중 유체저항이나 마찰력 및 부력과 같은 여러 힘들에 의해 낙하시간이 감소하게 되는데, 이러한 여러가지 힘의 복잡한 결합으로 인해 낙하시간과 충격속도를 해석적으로 유추하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 국산핵연료집합체에 적용되는 해석적인 방정식을 포함하고 있는 프로그램을 개발하였고, 이 프로그램을 단일제어봉 낙하시험과 비교하였다. 비교결과 시험 및 해석결과가 잘일치하고 있음으로써 개발된 프로그램의 검증을 확인할 수 있었고, 따라서 이 프로그램이 제어봉및 안내관의 설계변경시 매우 유용하게 사용할 수 있게 되었다.
