  • Abstract A series of permeability tests was performed on the mixtures with specific mixing rates of sand and bentonite using modified rigid-wall permeameter. Sand-bentonite mixtures were permeated by organics, ethanol and TCE. Permeability of bentonite with several mixing rates had a tendency to decrease up to initial one pore volume and permeability was thereafter converged to a constant value. When sand-bentonite mixtures was permeated by water, permeability was decreased at the beginning but it was thereafter converged to a constant. Among several mixing rates, permeability was greatly decreased at 15% of mixing rate. When sand-bentonite mixtures with 15% mixing rate was permeated by ethanol, permeability was about 10 times larger value than permeability of water. Peameability was shown greater values when permeated by TCE (TrichloroEthylene) followed by ethanol. Suitable mixing rate of sand-bentonite for a liner of waste landfills was detected.

  • We present a numerical investigation on gaseous (ethylene-air mixture) detonation in the elastoplastical metal tubes to understand the wall effects associated with the developing detonation instability. The acoustic disturbances originating from the rapidly expanding tube walls reach the detonating flame surface, thereby causing flame distortions and total energy losses. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations with equation of state for gas and elasto-plastic deformation field equations for inert tubes are solved simultaneously to understand the complex multi-material interaction in the rapidly expanding gas pipe. In order to track governing variables across the material interface, we use the hybrid particle level-set and ghost fluid methods to precisely estimate the interfacial quantities. Features observed from the deforming (thin) tube show substantially different behavior when a detonation propagates in the rigid (thick) tube with no acoustically responding wall conditions.

  • The laminating technique for developing flexible liquid crystal display was demonstrated by using a thin UV curable polymer film and a plastic substrate with patterned polymer wall structure. We adopted the rigid wall structure to provide a solid mechanical support for the stable molecular alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) in the device. The cover film was prepared to have an ability of aligning LC molecules by patterning a micro-groove structure using the soft-lithographic process. These two substrates can be assembled tightly by the laminating and one-step UV irradiation process because of the adhesive nature of the used UV curable polymers. Proposed method can be used to fabricate the flexible LC display with simplicity and also be applicable for a cost-effective roll-to-roll process.

  • The stability of flows induced by a surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating along the deformable walls in a confined parallel-plane microchannel or slab in the laminar flow regime is investigated. The governing equation which was derived by considering the nonlinear coupling between the deformable or waving interface and viscous fluids is linearized and then the problem is solved by a verified code based on the spectral method together with the associated interface and boundary conditions. The value of the critical Reynolds number was found to be near 1439 which is much smaller than the rigid-wall case: 5772 for conventional pressure-driven flows.

  • Experimental studies on the aerodynamic coupling effect on natural frequencies, critical speed and flutter instability of rotating disks are investigated in this paper. The theoretical analysis uses a fluid-structure model where the aerodynamic effects are represented in terms of elastic, lift and damping and stiffness components. The experiments performed using a vacuum chamber and ASMO/DVD disks rotating in vacuum, open and enclosure in several gaps with stationary wall give three main results. One is that the aerodynamic effect by the surrounding air reduces the natural frequencies and critical speeds of the vibration modes. The second is that natural frequency of disks rotating in open air is larger than that in enclosure. Finally, it is shown that the disk vibration is reduced as the gap between the disk and the rigid wall decreases.

  • We examine the problem in which porous/viscoelastic compliant thin plates are subject to pressure fluctuations under transitional or turbulent boundary layer. Measurements are presented of the frequency spectra of the near-field pressure and radiated sound by compliant surface. A porous plate consisting of 5mm thick, open-cell foam with fabric covering and a viscoelastic painted plate of 1mm thick over an acoustic board of 4m thick were placed over a rigid surface in an anechoic wind tunnel. Streamwise velocity and wall pressure measurements were shown to highly attenuate the convective wall pressure energy when the convective wavenumber ($k_{ch}$) was 3.0 or more. The sound source localization on the compliant walls is applied to the measurement of radiated sound by using an acoustic mirror system.

  • Identification of noise sources, their locations and strengths, have been taken great attention. The method that can identify noise sources normally assumes that noise sources are located at a free field. However, the sound in a reverberant field consists of that coming directly from the source plus sound reflected or scattered by the walls or objects in the field. In contrast to the exterior sound field, reflections are added to sound field. Therefore, we have to consider the reverberation effect on the source identification method. The main objective of this paper is to identify noise source in the reverberant field. At fist, we try to identify noise sources in a rigid wall enclosure using the spherical beamforming method. In many case of practical interest, the wall has an admittance so that complex reflection process occurred. In this paper, we assumed the complex reverberant field in the enclosure to be the sum of plane waves with random incidence and magnitude. Then the effects of reverberant field at interior source identification have been studied theoretically as well as experimentally

  • Many of research on noise reduction techniques have been progressed for the improvement of noise environment in subway train. There are many way to noise reduction techniques in the tunnel, but it has been reported as an alternative to attach sound absorption material on tunnel wall. For this reason sound absorption material has been studied for application of tunnel. The objective of this study is to investigate design parameters on a Helmholtz resonator with built-in sound absorption panel for the reduction of the tunnel noise in the subway. Sound absorption panel composed of the perforated panel with sub-millimeter holes and the airspace backed a rigid wall or between panels. The experiment is performed through the change of number of perforated panel, cross sectional area and the depth of airspace of the sound absorption panel under the normal incidence sound.

  • The use of reinforced soil have been increased due to it's cost effectiveness, flexibility and so on. In this study, a full-scale reinforced soil with rigid facing were constructed to investigate the soil pressure variation of reinforcing system. The results of soil pressure during backfill construction are described. The influence of facing stiffness on soil pressure is addressed. The results show that lateral earth pressures on the wall are active state during backfill. It is obtained that the lateral soil pressure highly depends on the installation condition of pressure cell and construction condition. Long-term measurement will be followed to verify the design assumptions with respect to the distribution of lateral stress on the facing.

  • Recently, there are many attempts to expand a temporary soil nailing system into a permanent wall due to the advantage of soil nailing system, that is efficient and economic use of underground space and decreasing the total construction cost. However, the proper design approach of a permanent soil nailing system has not been proposed by now in Korea. Permanent soil nailing system which utilizes precast concrete walls for the facing of soil nailing system Is already used in many countries. In general, the cast-in-place concrete facings or rigid walls were constructed in bottom-up way after construction of soil nailing walls finished preliminarily In this paper, various laboratory model tests have been carried out to investigate the failure mode, behavior characteristics, and tensile force at nail head in each load level in respects of the variation of stiffness of the facing.
