Recently, damage occurrence by wind erosion has been increasing in society. In times past, such problems only took place in desert area ; however, in recent years, the wind erosion problem is spreading out to agricultural land. Wind erosion in agricultural land can cause loss of loam soils, the disturbance of the photosynthesis of the crop fields and serious economic losses. To overcome the mentioned problems, installation of windbreak fence can be recommended which function as disturbing strong wind and wind erosion. However, there is still no proper guideline to install the windbreak fence and the installation used to rely on the intuition of the workers due to the lack of related studies. Therefore, this study measured the aerodynamic resistance of screens of the windbreak fence using the apparatus for testing screens. The apparatus for testing screens was designed to measure pressure loss around the screen. Measured pressure loss by wall friction compensated for pressure loss to calculate the aerodynamic resistance of screens. The result of pressure loss by regression analysis derived the aerodynamic coefficient of Darcy-Forchheimer equation and power law equation. The aerodynamic resistance was constant regardless of the overlapped shape when the screen was overlapped into several layers. Increasing the number of layers of the screen, internal resistance increased significantly more, and pressure loss caused by the screen also increased linearly when the wind speed was certain conditions, but permeability had no tendency. In the future, the results of this study will be applied to the computational fluid dynamics simulation. The simulation models will be also validated in advance by wind tunnel experiments. It will provide standard of a design for constructing windbreak fence.

This study investigates the response of functionally graded (FG) gas pipe under unsteady internal pressure and temperature. The pipe is proposed to be manufactured from FGMs rather than custom carbon steel, to reduce the erosion, corrosion, pressure surge and temperature variation effects caused by conveying of gases. The distribution of material graduations are obeying power and sigmoidal functions varying with the pipe thickness. The sigmoidal distribution is proposed for the 1st time in analysis of FG pipe structure. A Two-dimensional (2D) plane strain problem is proposed to model the pipe cross-section. The Fourier law is applied to describe the heat flux and temperature variation through the pipe thickness. The time variation of internal pressure is described by using exponential-harmonic function. The proposed problem is solved numerically by a two-dimensional (2D) plane strain finite element ABAQUS software. Nine-node isoparametric element is selected. The proposed model is verified with published results. The effects of material graduation, material function, temperature and internal pressures on the response of FG gas pipe are investigated. The coupled temperature and displacement FEM solution is used to find a solution for the stress displacement and temperature fields simultaneously because the thermal and mechanical solutions affected greatly by each other. The obtained results present the applicability of alternative FGM materials rather than classical A106Gr.B steel. According to proposed model and numerical results, the FGM pipe is more effective in natural gas application, especially in eliminating the corrosion, erosion and reduction of stresses.

Internal stability is an important safety issue for levees, embankments, and other earthen structures. Since a large part of the world's population lives near oceans, lakes and rivers, floods resulting from breaching of dams can lead to devastating disasters with tremendous loss of life and property, especially in densely populated areas. There are some main factors that affect the internal stability of dams, levees and other earthen structures, such as the erodibility of the soil, the water velocity inside the soil mass and the geometry of the earthen structure, etc. Thus, the mechanism of internal erosion and stability of soils is very complicated and it is vital to investigate the assessment methods of internal stability of soils in embankment dams and their foundations. This paper presents an improved support vector machine (SVM) model to predict the internal stability of soils. The grid search algorithm (GSA) is employed to find the optimal parameters of SVM firstly, and then the cross - validation (CV) method is employed to estimate the classification accuracy of the GSA-SVM model. Two examples of internal stability of soils are presented to validate the predictive capability of the proposed GSA-SVM model. In addition to verify the effectiveness of the proposed GSA-SVM model, the predictions from the proposed GSA-SVM model were compared with those from the traditional back propagation neural network (BPNN) model. The results showed that the proposed GSA-SVM model is a feasible and efficient tool for assessing the internal stability of soils with high accuracy.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between internal derangement and osteoarthrosis in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: One hundred and six MR images of TMJs in 53 patients were evaluated. Disc displacements and osseous changes of the TMJs were assessed. Lateral and rotational disc displacements were also evaluated on coronal images. Results: No significant differences in the frequency of osseous changes of the TMJs between disc displacement with reduction and disc displacement without reduction groups were found. The erosion of the condylar head and the sclerosis of the articular eminence were more frequent in the internal derangement group than in the no disc displacement group. The flattening was the most frequently observed osseous change of both the condylar head and articular eminence. Conclusion : The relationship between internal derangement and osteoarthrosis is obscure, but it is thought that both disorders adversely affect each other.

액체를 취급하는 기계.장치는 유속 및 회전속도 등이 빠르게 되면 유체충격과 정압의 저하에 따른 국부적 비등으로 인해 캐비테이션(cavitation) 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 캐비테이션현상에 따른 소음과 진동율 초래하고, 또한 기포의 붕괴에 따른 형격압으로 캐비테이션-침식(cavitation-erosion)이 발생하여 기계.장치의 구성재료에 손실이 일어남으로써 이들 기계의 효율을 저하시킴과 아울러 수명을 단종시킬 수 있다. 더욱이 부식성의 액체에 사용되는 기계.장치의 금속재료에는 캐비테이션(erosion-corrosion)이 중첩하여 발생하는 경우는 침식과 부식이 상호간에 가속하는 상승효과 때문에 기계.장치의 수명에 치명적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초음파 진동장치에 의한 각종 유중에서 베어링 합금 1종, 7종 및 켈-멧 4종에 대한 캐비테이션-침식실험을 실시하여, 침식손상거동및 특성등을 구명하고저 하였다.

This study was carried out an experimental and finite element analysis on the fracture behavior of straight pipes with local wall thinning under internal pressure. Local wall thinning was machined on the pipes in order to simulate erosion/corrosion metal loss. The configurations of the eroded area has an eroded ratio of d/t=0.80~0.92 and an eroded length of l=25, 50 and 102 mm. Three-dimensional elastic-plastic analyses were also carried out using the finite element method, which is able to accurately simulate failure behaviors. In regards to the relation ship between pressure and eroded ratio, the criterion that can be used safely under operating pressure and design pressure were obtained from this calculation. The results of this calculation were in relatively good agreement with that of the experiment.

내부 침식은 제방 손상 및 붕괴의 주요 원인 중 하나이며, 그 대표적인 유형으로 후퇴 침식 파이핑을 들 수 있다. 후퇴 침식 파이핑은 내부 침식 관련 제방 손상의 약 1/3 정도를 차지하며이를 예측하고 예방하는 것은 제방의 안전성 유지를 위해 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 추적자를 이용해 파이핑 현상을 예측하여 사전에 예방하는 것을 목적으로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험은 상류측과 하류측의 수두차, 유사의 크기, 차수벽의 유무 세 가지 조건을 변경하여 진행하였다. 추적자인 로다민은 실험을 시작할 때와 파이핑이 발생했다면 발생한 직후, 총 두 번 주입하였다. 실험을 진행하는 동안 파이핑 형성 과정을 영상으로 기록하였고 추적자의 농도와 유출구에서의 유량의 시계열을 측정하였다. 실험을 통해 본 연구에서는 유사의 종류에 따라 파이핑이 발생하는 수두차가 다르며 수두차가 클수록 파이핑이 쉽게 발생한다는 점을 관찰하였다. 또한 파이핑이 발생한 시점 직후에 추적자의 농도가 급격하게 증가하는 그래프의 양상을 확인했고 이를 통해 추적자의 농도 시계열 자료를 획득함으로써 파이핑의 발생 유무를 발견할 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 파이핑으로 인한 제방 손상 및 붕괴를 예방하는 데 있어서 본 연구의 활용도가 높으리라 기대된다.

도심지에서 빈번하게 발생하는 지반함몰 사고는 지하시설물의 노후화, 지하개발 활동에 따른 지반의 교란과 지하수 변화 등 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하고 있다. 지반함몰 위험을 사전 예측하기 위해서는 지반함몰 사고에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대한 지반 공학적 및 수리학적 검토가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 운영되고 있는 지반조사 데이터 및 지하수위 변동 정보를 이용하여 지반함몰이 발생한 연구대상 지역의 3차원 지반모델링 및 월별 지하수위에 대한 자료 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 활용해 실제 지반함몰 발생 이력과 지반조건 및 지하수위 변화와의 관계성을 확인하였다. 또한, 기존 시추정보에서 통일 분류 체계(USCS)에 따라 제시된 흙의 공학적 특성을 지반함몰과 연관된 공학적 지표인 흙의 내부 침식 민감도로 재구성하여 지반함몰 위험도를 가시화하는데 활용하는 방법론을 제시하였다. 연구결과, 지반함몰 발생 지역의 지반은 내부 침식이 취약한 모래(SM, SC, SP, SW)가 40% 이상 구성되어 있음을 확인했으며, 지하수위 변화에 따른 지반함몰 발생빈도와의 관계성도 확인할 수 있었다.
