  • In general, the function of intake structure, whether it be a open channel, a fully wetted tunnel, a sump or a tank, is to supply an evenly distributed flow to a pump station. An even distribution of flow, characterized by strong local flow, can result in formation of surface or submerged vortices, and with certain low values of submergence, may introduce air into pump, causing a reduction of capacity and efficiency, an increase in vibration and additional noise. Uneven flow distribution can also increase or decrease the power consumption with a change in total developed head. To avoid these sump problems pump station designers are considered intake structure dimensions, such as approaching upstream, baffle size, sump width, width of pump cell and so on. From this background, flow characteristics of intake within sump are Investigated numerically to obtain the optimal sump design data. The sump model is designed in accordance with HI code.

  • Researchers have made significant progress in recent years towards realizing effective structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizing wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs). These efforts have focused on improving the performance and robustness of such networks to achieve high quality data acquisition and distributed, in-network processing. One of the primary challenges still facing the use of smart sensors for long-term monitoring deployments is their limited power resources. Periodically accessing the sensor nodes to change batteries is not feasible or economical in many deployment cases. While energy harvesting techniques show promise for prolonging unattended network life, low power design and operation are still critically important. This research presents the WiSeMote: a new, fully integrated ultra-low power wireless smart sensor node and a flexible base station, both designed for long-term SHM deployments. The power consumption of the sensor nodes and base station has been minimized through careful hardware selection and the implementation of power-aware network software, without sacrificing flexibility and functionality.

  • It is well known that the spacings, the differences of two successive order statistics, in a random sample of size n from a distribution function F are independent and exponentially distributed if F is itself the exponential distribution. In this paper we obtain an asymptotically similar result on a fixed number of upper spacings as n .to. .infty. for a general F under the assumption that F is in the domain of attraction of some extreme value distribution. For a heavy or short tailed F, appropriate log transformations of the sample should be proceded to get the result. As a by-product, we also get that each upper spacing diverges in probability to .infty. and converges in probability to 0 as n .to. .infty. for a heavy and short tailed F, respectively, which is fully expected.

  • The objective of this research is to study on the upper and lower layer temperature, interface height and pressure in case of carpet, chair, trashcan and wardrobe fires in a residential room by performing the theoretical and experimental studies. The theoretical results of the upper and lower layer temperature, the interface height and the pressure were qualitatively well coincided with the experimental results. The uniformly distributed fire in case of carpet showed that the ignition and the initial growth period were relatively short while the fully developed period was considerably long. The concentrated fires such as the wardrobe showed that the ignitions and the initial growth periods were relatively long. The interface heights were around 1m as the steady state. However, at the time of the maximum temperature, the interface height was lowered to 0.5m from the floor. The pressure variation in the fire room ranged between 0.1mmAq and 0.4mmAq, and the temperature reached the highest while the pressure was maximum.

  • The objective of this research is to study the formations of smoke layer in case of several furniture fires such as trashcan, carpet, mattress and wardrobe as a fire starter in a residential room by performing the experimental studies. The uniformly distributed fire in case of carpet showed that the ignition and the initial growth period were relatively short while the fully developed period was considerably long. The concentrated fires such as the trashcan, mattress and wardrobe showed that the ignitions and the initial growth periods were relatively long. The descending speed of the interface height was proportioned to the inflammability of the furniture and the spread of the fire. The time required to come down around 1m was within 1-3 minutes. The Interface heights for the furniture fires were around 1m as the steady state. However, at the time of the maximum temperature, the interface height was lowered to 0.25m-0.75m from the floor. The carbon dioxide concentration reached the highest while the oxygen concentration was minimum.

  • Even though we have greater chances to accomplish successful collaborative design by utilizing recent proliferation of networks, current practices do not fully take advantage of the information infrastructure. There are so much data over the networks, but not enough knowledge about the data is available to users. The main objectives of the product data interface system proposed in this paper are to capture more knowledge on managing product data and to provide users effective search capability. We define the metadata model for product data defined in STEP AP 203 and manage the metadata from product data in a repository system. Because we utilize the standard formats such as STEP for product data and RDF for metadata, the proposed approach can be applied to various fields of industries independently on commercial products.

  • 본 논문에서는 환전분포형 지표수-지하수 연계모형인 MIKE SHE 모형을 SWAT모형을 이용하여 산출된 소유역 유출량 자료 및 함양량 자료와 연계하여 국내 IHP 대표유역의 하나인 보청천 유역에 적용하였다. 실측유출량자료와 모의된 유출량자료를 비교하여 통계적 변량을 산출하여 모형을 평가하였으며, 그 결과 EI와 RMAE, $R^2$값은 각각 0.64와 0.74, 0.82를 나타내는 것으로 보아 모형이 실제를 만족스러울 정도로 잘 반영하고 있지는 못한다고 판단되었다. 이는 적용된 모형의 문제점이라기 보다 국내 실정에서 모형의 입력자료를 뒷받침할 만한 세분화된 자료의 부족에서 기인된 결과로 판단된다. 이에 따라 국내에서 완전분포형 모형의 입력자료를 뒷받침할 수 있는 시추 자료, 수리상수 자료 등이 확보되고 모형의 보정과 검정과정을 거친다면 더욱 만족스러운 결과를 얻어낼 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 문제점이 해결, 보안된다면 본 모형의 국내 적용에는 큰 문제점은 없을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 5.2" microtip field emission displays (FEDs) with high voltage applications are fabricated. Nano-structural analysis on microtips is performed for the reliable operation of FEDs. Chemical compositions on the apex of microtips are fully analyzed. A charging mechanism on spacers is simulated and experimentally confirmed with micro-images. A gas-aging mechanism is also studied with integration step of FEDs. The brightness of more than 300 $cd/m^2$ is achieved. In addition, as a new concept, 9" color carbon nanotube FEDs (CNT-FEDs) are introduced using well-aligned carbon nanotubes on glass substrates by paste squeeze and surface treatment techniques. A number of carbon nanotubes, $5-10/{\mu}m2$, are uniformly distributed over a large area. The turn-on fields of 1 $V/{\mu}m$ and field emission currents of 1.5 mA at 3 $V/{\mu}m$ are acquired. Different mechanisms between microtip FEDs and CNT-FEDs are discussed.

  • The objective of this study is to predict the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls, with the reinforcement uniformly distributed, under reversed cyclic loads. This study introduces joint Element Model which formulates the pulling out of rebars, slipping and intrusion of junction planes. The applicability of this study was experimental verfied by specimens SW1, SW2 and SW3 tested by authors, Wall1 by Paulay, SW16 and SW19 by Sheu. In almost specimen, the ratio of analytical to experimental maximum shear stress is within approximately 5%. In case of energy dissipation and maximum drift, the analytical results fully coincide with those of experiment.
