The results of an experimental study on Saemangeum dredged sands are presented. Undrained triaxial compression tests were performed with there different initial relative densities, namely 18, 34, and 50%, intend to evaluate undrained Behavior. All undrained triaxial compression tests were performed under static loading conditions. Undrained triaxial compression tests were exhibited complete static liquefaction, zero effective confining pressure and zero stress difference at lower confining pressures. As confining pressures were increased, the effective stress paths indicated increasing resistance to static liquefaction by showing increasing dilatant tendencies. The fines and larger particles create a particle structure with high compressibility at lower confining pressure. The effect of increasing relative density was to increase the resistance of the sand against static liquefaction by making the sand more dilatant.

There are many problems in the prediction of soil dynamic behaviors because undrained excess pore water pressure builds up and then the strain softening behavior is occurred simultaneously. A few analytical methods based on the dynamic constitutive model have been proposed but the model hardly predict the excess pore water pressure directly. In this study, the verification on the disturbed state concept (DSC) model, proposed by Dr, Desai was performed. Some laboratory tests such as conventional triaxial tests and cyclic triaxial tests were carried out to determine DSC Parameters and then disturbance values are determined by the proposed equation. Through this verification, it is proved that the disturbed state concept can express reliably the soil dynamic characteristics such as excess pore water pressure and strain softening behavior. It is also found that the critical disturbance which is determined at the minimum curvature of disturbance function can be a the specific index.

One of the most probable reason of the apex seal damage in IR-2500 industrial Wankel (rotary) engine was believed to be the engine detonation. Both analytical and experimental studies were made with a view th find out engine detonation pressure. The stagnation detonation pressure $p_{03}$' was estimated based on the data from IR-2500 engine detonation tests, such as engine firing pressure, state of fresh charge at BDC and polytropic compression exponent. The estimated stagnation detonation pressure for the natural gas fueled IR-2500 engine was in excess of 3,700 psia. With natural gas liquid added to the natural gas the octane value of the fuel was lowered, thus, making the engine more prone to detonate. The estimated detonation pressure for the case with the mixed fuel was about 3,400 psia which was sufficiently high to break the apex seal. The subsequent engine lab tests performed on two identical engines with sole difference in the apex seal thickness between the two engines proved that the engine knock, in fact, was the villain of the apex seal failure.ilure.

In this article, stability of composite conical shells subjected to dynamic external pressure is investigated by numerical and experimental methods. In experimental tests, cross-ply glass woven fabrics were selected for manufacturing of specimens. Hand-layup method was employed for fabricating the glass-epoxy composite shells. A test-setup that includes pressure vessel and data acquisition system was designed. Also, numerical analyses are performed. In these analyses, effect of actual geometrical imperfections of experimental specimens on the numerical results is investigated. For introducing the imperfections to the numerical models, linear eigen-value buckling analyses were employed. The buckling modes are multiplied by very small numbers that are derived from measurement of actual specimens. Finally, results are compared together while a good agreement between results of imperfect numerical analyses and experimental tests is observed.

A theoretical equation was proposed to consider the effect of fill and ponding for the excess pore water pressure in agricultural reservoir on soft clay ground. For the purpose of verification of the proposed equation, laboratory model tests and field tests were performed and excess pore water pressure was compared to those predicted with the Terzaghi's method. The degree of consolidation according to ponding predicted by applying the proposed equation was close to the observed degree of consolidation on the double drainage condition(at DP-3) but it was less than the observed degree of consolidation on the single drainage condition(at DP-5). The predicted excess pore water pressure according to fill and ponding was very applicable to practice because it was close to the observed data.

The deformation characteristics of cohesionless soils in Korea were investigated using resonant column tests. Total 60 samples, which were sampled from sedimentary and residual soils and reconstituted using controlled particle-size distributions, were prepared. The confining pressure applied in the tests ranges from 20 kPa to 500 kPa. The test results ware categorized into 3 groups including clean sands, silt and silty sand, and residual soils. Based on test results, the small-strain shear modulus(G$_{max}$) and damping ratio(D$_{min}$) were determined and the effects of confinement on G$_{max}$ and D$_{max}$ were characterized. The empirical correlations predicting G$_{max}$ were suggested for 3 group soils. Nonlinear deformational characteristics of clean sands are significantly affected by confining pressure and the ranges and mean curves for G and D are suggested considering the range of confining Pressure. The silt and silty sand and residual soils were weakly affected by confining pressure, so the representative ranges and curves, independent of confining pressure, were proposed.d.posed.d.

This study developed a fully automated test system for pressure vessels, containing such as oxygen, nitrogen, which is widely used in many industries. The pressure vessel test has three major parts including weight measurement test, water-hydraulic test and leakage test followed by cleaning and drying. The control system for these tests consists of three parts: a PLC, a monitoring system and a database management system. The PLC oversees overall control of test machines, while the monitoring system measures and displays weight, pressure, flow etc. for every situations, and the database management system stores test data. These three modules are designed to communicate with one another at 1 Hz frequency alerting problematic situations to the operator. The system has gone through actual field tests for verification of performances.

A disk photo sensor system was constructed and installed on engine for the crank angle measurement. Statically measured TDC crank angle data were compared with those obtained from engine motoring. Two groups of cylinder pressure data were compared each other, one measured by pressure transducer mounted flush on the combustion chamber and the other obtained with the help of spark plug type adaptor. A simple analysis on the gas flow in the spark plug type pressure transducer displayed reasonably good agreement with those from engine motoring tests. In various firing tests, the IMERs obtained from the spark plug type pressure transducer turned out to be higher than those from the flush mounted one at low engine speed while those two were nearly the same at high engine speed. As the engine load decreased the relative difference in IMEP measurement between the two types tended to be enlarged.

The propagation mechanism of a detonation pressure with fully coupled charge is clarified and the blasting pressure propagated in rock mass is derived from the application of shock wave theory. Probabilistic distribution is obtained by using explosion tests on emulsion and rock property tests on granite in Seoul and then the probabilistic distribution of the blasting pressure is derived from their properties. The probabilistic distributions of explosive properties and rock properties show a normal distribution so that the blasting pressure propagated in rock can be also regarded as a normal distribution. Parametric analysis was performed to pinpoint the most influential parameter that affects the blasting pressure and it was found that the detonation velocity is the most sensitive parameter. Moreover, uncertainty analysis was performed to figure out the effect of each parameter uncertainty on the uncertainty of blasting pressure. Its result showed that uncertainty of natural rock properties constitutes the main portion of blasting pressure uncertainty rather than that of explosive properties.

Fretting fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the effect of contact pressure on fretting fatigue behavior in aluminum alloy A7075-T6. Test results showed that when the contact pressure is so low that gross or partial slip occurs at the pad/specimen interface, fretting fatigue damage increases with the contact pressure. However, when the contact pressure is high enough to prevent slip at the interface, fretting fatigue damage decreases with the contact pressure. In order to understand how the contact pressure influence the fretting fatigue damage, finite element analyses were conducted and the analysis results were used to evaluate critical plane fretting fatigue damage parameters and their components. It is revealed that fretting fatigue damage estimated with the parameters exhibits the same variation as that in the tests. Moreover, the variation of fretting fatigue damage is closely related with that of the maximum normal stress on the critical plane rather than the strain amplitude on the critical plane.
