Drag forces on a rectangular louvered panel, both as a free-standing structure and as a component in a generic low-rise building model, were obtained in a wind tunnel study. When tested in a building model, the porosity ratio of the wall opposite the louvered panel was varied to investigate its effect on the loading of the louvered panel. Both mean and pseudo-steady drag coefficients were obtained. Comparisons with the provisions for porous walls in contemporary loading standards indicate that for some opposite wall porosity ratios, the standards specify significantly different wind loads (larger and smaller) than obtained from this wind tunnel study.

The beams components subjected to the loading such as axial, bending and cyclic thermal loads were studied in this research. The used constitutive equations are those of elasto-plasticity coupled to ductile and/or creep damage. The nonlinear kinematic hardening behavior was considered in elastoplasticity modeling. The unified damage law proposed for ductile failure and fatigue by the author of Sermage et al. (2000) and Kachanov's creep damage model applied to cyclic creep and low cycle fatigue of beams. Based on the results of the analysis, the shakedown limit loads were determined through the calculation of the residual strains developed in the beam analysis. The iterative technique determines the shakedown limit load in an iterative manner by performing a series of full coupled elastic-plastic and continuum damage cyclic loading modeling. The maximum load carrying capacity of the beam can withstand, were determined and imposed on the Bree's interaction diagram. Comparison between the shakedown diagrams generated by or without creep and/or ductile damage for the loading patterns was presented.

This paper presents a method for DC voltage control of HVDC system connection of offshore wind farms. In the event of fault in AC grid, HVDC system need to meet LVRT regulations. When HVDC system meet LVRT regulation, unbalance is caused between power input and power output for DC link. Therefore, LVRT regulation lead to DC voltage increase of HVDC system. To control the DC voltage increase, the chopper resistor can be suggested. In this paper, DC voltage suppression is proposed using chopper resistor and de-loading. The effectiveness of the chopper resistor was verified using PSCAD/EMTDC.

The purpose of this work is to investigate fatigue damage of quasi-isotropic laminates under tensile loading in different directions. Low cycle fatigue tests of $[0/-60/60]_s$ laminates and $[30/-30/90]_s$ laminates were carried out. Material systems used are AS4/Epoxy and AS4/PEEK. The fatigue damage of $[30/-30/90]_s$ is very different from that of $[0/-60/60]_s$. The experimental results are compared with the result obtained from the method for determining strain energy release rate components proposed by the authors. The analytical results were in good agreement with the experimental results. It is proved that the failure criterion based on the strain energy release rate is an appropriate approach to predict the initiation and growth of delaminations under cyclic loading.

Western coastal ports of Korea experience severe tidal range with up to 9.7 meter between high and low tides. The significant water level variation implicates many operational difficulties during loading and un-loading from cargo ships. To overcome problems due to tide and to secure the continuous loading operation, a new loading system for container cargo called "container pallet system" is developed and introduced in the paper. Three types of structure forms, offshore structural deck, double bottom structural form and the mixed form, are inverstigated with MSC/NASTRAN software. The results prove that the mixed type structure with truss enforcement is found to be the most appropriate for the region.

This paper will focus on improving the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in Rayleigh fading environments. The proposed technique will use a previously published method that has been shown to improve OFDM performance in independent fading, based on ordered sub-carrier selection. Then, a simple non-iterative method for finding the optimal bit-loading allocation was proposed. It was also based on ordered sub-carrier selection. We compared both of these algorithms to an optimal bit-loading solution to determine their effectiveness in a correlated fading environment. The correlated fading was simulated using the JTC channel models. Our intent was not to create an optimal solution, but to create a low complexity solution that can be used in a wireless environment in which the channel conditions change rapidly and that require a simple algorithm for fast bit loading.

회전원판공정(rotating biological contactorRBC)과 화학적 처리공정을 결합한 처리시스템을 이용하여 도시하수내 포함된 유기물과 영양염류를 제거할 경우에 수리학적 부하 (hydraulic loading)와 처리수 반송율 (recirculation rate)의 시스템 처리효율에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 각각의 수리학적 부하 0.031, 0.0535 및 0.076 $m^3/m^2/d에서 반송율을 100%, 200%, 300%로 변화시켰고, 질산화에 필요한 알카리도의 보충 및 화학적 처리를 위하여 lime(CaCO$_3$)을 가하여 유입수의 pH를 10.4-11.0으로 유지시켰다. 실험결과 수리학적 부하 0.0535 $m^3/m^2/d에서 BOD, COD의 제거효율이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 질산화 효율 및 질소 제거효율에서는 수리학작 부하 0.035 $m^3/m^2/d, 반송율 300%에서 가장 높았으며, 반송율별에서는 수리학적 부하를 고려할 때 300% 반송하는 것이 가장 높은 유기물 제거효율을 보였다. 반송율과 수리학적 부하를 증가시킬 경우에 발생되는 슬러지내 유기물 함량은 점점 증가하였고, 수리학적 부하 0.076 $m^3/m^2/d, 반송율 300%일 경우에는 유기물 함량이 47%로 매우 높았다. 이는 부하증가에 따른 미생물 성장의 증가와 더불어 수리학적 부하 증가에 따른 전단력의 증가가 영향을 미쳤기 때문이다. 인을 제거하기 위하여 pH를 10.4-11.0으로 유지시킨 경우에 인을 90%이상 제거할 수 있었으며, 유출수내 평균 SS농도는 40 mg/l를 상회하였다.

웹 어플리케이션은 로딩 시간을 빠르게 하는 것이 중요하다. 파싱은 로딩 과정 중 하나로서 로딩을 길어지게 하는 원인이 되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 파싱 쓰레드를 만들어 파싱을 병렬화 시킨 동시 파싱 기법이 제안되었다[3]. 그러나 동시 파싱은 파싱 순서에 대한 고려가 없다는 한계가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 동시 파싱을 사용할 때 어떤 함수를 먼저 파싱해야 하는가에 대한 휴리스틱을 제안한다. 파싱 우선 순위를 정하기 위해 실제 웹 어플리케이션의 자바스크립트 함수들을 분석하여 함수를 세 가지 기준으로 분류하였고, 각 분류의 호출 확률(call probability)을 구하였다. 조사한 호출 확률을 이용하여 높은 호출 확률을 갖는 함수들에 높은 파싱 우선 순위를 주었고, 반대로 낮은 호출 확률의 함수들은 낮은 우선 순위를 주었다. 정의한 우선 순위를 토대로 휴리스틱을 제안했고 이를 검증하기 위해 실제 웹 어플리케이션에서 로딩 시간을 측정하여 최대 3.8%, 평균 2.6%의 로딩 시간을 단축하였다.

This paper describes the results of experiments and numerical simulation studies on the impact and indentation damage created by low-velocity impact subjected onto honeycomb sandwich panels for application to the BIMODAL tram. The test panels were subjected to low-velocity impact loading using an instrumented testing machine at six energy levels. Contact force histories as a function of time were evaluated and compared. The extent of the damage and depth of the permanent indentation was measured quantitatively using a 3-dimensional scanner. An explicit finite element analysis based on LS-DYNA3D was focused on the introduction of a material damage model and numerical simulation of low-velocity impact responses on honeycomb sandwich panels. Extensive material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the metallic and composite face-sheet materials and the effective equivalent damage model for the orthotropic honeycomb core material. Good agreement was obtained between numerical and experimental results; in particular, the numerical simulation was able to predict impact damage area and the depth of indentation of honeycomb sandwich composite panels created by the impact loading.

Fatigue failure of a grid structure using bolt-sphere joints is liable to occur in a high-strength bolt due to the alternating and reciprocal actions of a suspension crane. In this study, variable amplitude fatigue tests were carried out on 20 40 Cr steel alloy M30 high-strength bolts using an MTS fatigue testing machine, and four cyclic stress amplitude loading patterns, Low-High, High-Low, Low-High-Low, and High-Low-High, were tested. The scanning electron microscope images of bolt fatigue failure due to variable amplitude stress were obtained, and the fractographic analysis of fatigue fractures was performed to investigate the fatigue failure mechanisms. Based on the available data from the constant amplitude fatigue tests, the variable amplitude fatigue life of an M30 high-strength bolt in a bolt-sphere joint was estimated using both Miner's rule and the Corten-Dolan model. Since both cumulative damage models gave similar predictions, Miner's rule is suggested for estimating the variable-amplitude fatigue life of M30 high-strength bolts in a grid structure with bolt-sphere joints; the S-N fatigue curve of the M30 high-strength bolts under variable amplitude loading was derived using equivalent stress amplitude as a design parameter.
