In ship structures, many parts are in contact with inner or outer fluid as stern, ballast and oil tanks. Fatigue damages can be sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance. Tank structures in ships are in contact with water and the vibration characteristics are strongly affected by the added mass of containing water. Therefore it is important to predict vibration characteristics of tank structures. In order to estimate the vibration characteristics, the fluid-structure interaction problem has to be solved precisely. In the present paper, we have developed a numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structures using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for water region. To verify the present analysis, we have made an experiment for vibration characteristics of a tank with elastic opposite panels. And the added mass effect of containing water and the effect of structural constraint between panels are investigated numerically and discussed.

Vents at outer walls of a large factory building are very important for natural ventilation. But, if a full-open vent is used, rain comes through the vents. We tried to utilize the natural ventilation effectively using a louver. A 1/120 scale-down building model was placed inside an atmospheric boundary layer simulated in a wind tunnel test section. The effect of louver angle on the ventilation flow inside the factory building was investigated experimentally. Instantaneous velocity fields inside the building model were measured using a 2-frame PIV system with varying the louver angles ($\theta=20^{\circ},\;40^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$). For the case of $\theta=60^{\circ}$, as the incoming flow into the factory building increases, the inside velocity distribution becomes uniformly.

Theory of Earth's free oscillation is revisited. Firstly, we summarized the underlying formulations, such as the equation of motion and its conversion into numerically integrable form and then explained computational procedures including the treatment of inner core-outer core boundary and core-mantle boundary, while the latter information has not been explicitly given in most publications. Secondly, we re-calculated the periods of Earth's free oscillation modes (period >200 s) for PREM model. In doing so we acquired the values of modes missing in Dziewonski and Anderson (1981). As a case observation, one seismogram after 2011 Tohoku earthquake recorded at Daejeon, Korea (KIGAM seismic station) was briefly analyzed to identify free oscillation mode excitations on its spectra. The material in this article will be most clear guide for those on calculating the Earth's free oscillation mode.

We solve the isoperimetric problem, the least-perimeter way to enclose a given area, on various Euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic surfaces, sometimes with cusps or free boundary. On hyperbolic genus-two surfaces, Adams and Morgan characterized the four possible types of isoperimetric regions. We prove that all four types actually occur and that on every hyperbolic genus-two surface, one of the isoperimetric regions must be an annulus. In a planar annulus bounded by two circles, we show that the leastperimeter way to enclose a given area is an arc against the outer boundary or a pair of spokes. We generalize this result to spherical and hyperbolic surfaces bounded by circles, horocycles, and other constant-curvature curves. In one case the solution alternates back and forth between two types, a phenomenon we have yet to see in the literature. We also examine non-orientable surfaces such as spherical M$\ddot{o}$obius bands and hyperbolic twisted chimney spaces.

The panel contribution analysis to reduce interior booming noise of a passenger car is carried out using both experimental method and numerical one. The accelerations of panels are measured on the outer surface of car body during operation. The acoustic characteristic of cavity is represented by two different ways. One is the acoustic transfer function obtained by experiment with reciprocal manner. The other is the boundary element model and numerical results of the model are calculated using SYSNOISE. The results from numerical method show more good agreement with measured sound pressure levels than the experimental one. Contributions of panels for interior noise are ranked and structure of the car is reinforced according to the results, which shows that the panel contribution analysis is a powerful tool to lessen structure-borne noise of passenger vehicle.

The topographic influences for the hydraulic characteristics in the estuary were studied by the hydraulic model test. The upstream boundary is set up at the Kumkang estuary dike and the downstream boundary at the Kunsan outer port. The geometrical model scales in horizontal and vertical are 1/300 and 1/100 respectively so that the distorted ratio is 3. If there is no or little river flow through the gate, the highest water levels are varied with $\pm$ 5cm compared with those before the project. If there is a flood flow through the gate, the highest water levels in front of the estuary dike are reduced 5~2Ocm depending on the frequency of flood compared with those before the project. This means that there is no important risk of excessive water level rise after the dredging.

This paper presents a coupling scheme, which couples an analytical solution and the standard finite element, for analyzing the electromagnetic fields. The former is a solution of the magnetic field in free space, i.e., the outer region of boundary, and the latter represents the system with source currents and magnetic materials in the inner region of boundary. The proposed method retains the sparsity and symmetry of the final system matrix, the merits of the standard FEM. To verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm, an example which can be solved analytically is chosen and analyzed. The results are compared with those of the standard FEM and the analytic solutions.

In this study the principles of melting phenomena of compacted vermicular graphite cast iron are discussed by considering the effects of the variation of phosphorus content and heating rate on the quenched microstructure of the specimens. In compacted vermicular graphite cast iron containing little phosphorus, the melting phenomena are found initially at the outer region of austenite shell and subsequently progressed with the diffusion of carbon through the austenite shell without regard to heating rate. But as the phosphorus content was increased over than 0.12wt.%, the melting phenomena initiated at the boundary of eutectic shell and progressed along the contact area between the melt and graphite tips at higher heating rate. At lower heating rate, the melt of steadite dissolved at the lower temperature than that of eutectic was moved toward the graphite through the austenite grain-boundary and promoted melting of graphite and matrix.

Straight absorptive silencers have been designed to reduce the noise level of a centrifugal blower. Three-dimensional boundary element method is used for the design of absorptive silencers which consist of a perforated main pipe and a outer chamber filled with fibrous material. The experimental results show that the absorptive silencer reduces up to 8 dB(A) in the overall sound pressure level of the blower and up to 15 dB at the blade passing frequency. It is also found that the gap between the silencer and the impeller may substantially alter the acoustic performance of the silencers. The transmission loss predicted by the boundary element method follows overall trends of the measured insertion loss. The experiments also show that the impact of the silencers on the aerodynamic performance of the blower is minimum.

A liquid storage rectangular tank structures are used In many fields of civil, mechanical and marine engineering. Especially, Ship structures have many tanks In contact with Inner or outer fluid, like ballast, fuel and cargo tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these thin walled tanks in contact with fluid near engine or propeller are strongly affected by added mass of containing fluid. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration of the tank structures. In the previous report, we have developed numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structure using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for fluid region. In the present report, using the numerical analysis, vibrations characteristics In deep water tank are investigated and discussed.
