인장이상재를 갖는 활엽수재의 파괴특성을 이해하기 위해 신갈나무재의 전단시험 및 휨시험을 통하여 파괴단면을 관찰하였다. 육안적으로 관찰한 결과 전단시편의 경우 정상재보다 인장이상재 시편에서 더 많은 섬유의 보풀이 관찰되었고, 함수율 30% 시편의 전단면이 10%보다 거칠고 많은 섬유의 보풀이 관찰되었다. 휨시험에 의해 파괴된 인장이상재는 정상재에 비해 목섬유가 굵고 길게 드러나 있는 것이 관찰되었다. SEM 관찰 결과 방사면 전단파괴시 정상재와 인장이상재의 목섬유는 벽내파괴에 의한 파괴형태를 보여주고 있으며, 방사유세포는 벽절단파괴에 가까운 형태로 파괴되었다. 접선면 전단파괴시 목섬유는 벽내파괴에 의한 파괴형태를 보여주고 있고 인장이상재의 목섬유의 파괴부분이 더 거칠었다. 방사유세포는 양 시편 모두 벽절단파괴에 의한 파괴 형태를 보여주었으며, 인장이상재의 방사유세포에서 절단면이 비교적 깨끗한 것으로 나타났다. 휨시험에 의한 목섬유 파면의 형태는 정상재의 목섬유에 비하여 인장이상재가 파괴 시 끝이 무디고 깨끗하게 끊어진 모습을 보여주었다.

연약 지반의 거동 특성 평가를 위하여 전단파 속도와 전기저항을 측정할 수 있는 새로운 압밀셀을 개발하였다. 전단파의 발진과 수신을 위한 벤더엘리먼트는 압밀셀의 상 하부판 및 벽면에 설치하였다. 국부적인 간극비 변화를 평가하기 위하여 이중 쐐기 형식의 전기저항 탐침을 적용하였다. 벤더 엘리먼트와 전기저항 탐침은 나일론 재질의 스크류 안에 고정하였다. 나일론 재질의 스크류는 압밀셀과의 임피던스 차이로 인하여 압밀셀을 통한 파의 직접적 전달을 최소화하며, 고장난 벤더 엘리먼트와 전기저항 탐침을 쉽게 교환하게 해준다. 전기저항-대수 시간 곡선의 기울기 및 전단파 속도의 변화로부터 일차 압밀 시간을 평가하였다. 교란 효과가 적을 경우, 입자 배열은 전단파 속도에 영향을 미치며 이로부터 흙의 고유 이방성을 평가할 수 있었다. 압밀 실험동안 침하량으로 산정한 간극비와 전기저항으로부터 계산된 간극비는 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 전단퐈 속도와 전기저항이 일차 압밀, 고유 이방성, 간극비 등 연약 지반의 압밀 특성 파악을 위한 보완적인 정보를 제공해 줌을 보여준다.

The aggregation characteristics of red blood cells (RBCs) are known as important factors in the microvascular flow system, and increased RBC aggregation has been observed in various pathological diseases, such as thrombosis and myocardial infarction. This paper describes a simple microfluidic device for measuring the RBC aggregation by integrating a microfluidic slit rheometry and laser-backscattering technique. While a decreasing-pressure mechanism was applied to the microfluidic rheometry, a syllectogram (the light intensity versus time) showed an initial increase and a peak caused by the high shear stress-induced disaggregation, immediately followed by a decrease in the light intensity due to RBC aggregation. The critical shear stress (CST) corresponding to the peak intensity was examined as a new index of the RBC aggregation characteristics. The CST of RBCs increased with increasing aggregation-dominating protein (fibrinogen) in the blood plasma. The essential feature of this design was the combination of the rheometric-optic characterization of RBC aggregation with a microfluidic chip, which may potentially allow cell aggregation measurements to be easily carried out in a clinical setting.

The flow characteristics of chicken blood in a micro-tube with a $100{\mu}m$ diameter are investigated using a micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Chicken blood with 40% hematocrit is supplied into the micro-tube using a syringe pump. For comparison, the same experiments are repeated for human blood with 40% hematocrit. Chicken blood flow has a cell-free layer near the tube wall, and this layer's thickness increases with the increased flow speed due to radial migration. As a hemorheological feature, the aggregation index of chicken blood is about 50% less than that of human blood. Therefore, the non-Newtonian fluid features of chicken blood are not very remarkable compared with those of human blood. As the flow rate increases, the blunt velocity profile in the central region of the micro-tube sharpens, and the parabolicshaped shear stress distribution becomes to have a linear profile. The viscosity of both blood samples in a low shear rate condition is overestimated, while the viscosity in a high shear rate range is underestimated due to radial migration and the presence of a cell-depleted layer.

In order to investigate flow characteristics of blood flow in a micro tube ($100{\mu}m$ in diameter) according to hematocrit, in-vitro experiments were carried out using a micro-PIV technique. The micro-PIV system consists of a microscope, a 2 head Nd:YAG laser, a 12 bit cooled CCD camera and a delay generator. Blood was supplied into the micro tube using a syringe pump. Hematocrit of blood was controlled to be 20%, 30% and 40%. The blood flow has a cell free layer near the tube wall and its thickness was changed with increasing the flow rate and hematocrit. The hemorheological characteristics such as shear rate and viscosity were evaluated using the velocity field data measured. As the flow rate increased, the blunt velocity profile in the tube center was sharpened. The viscosity of blood was rapidly increased with decreasing shear rate, especially in the region of low shear rate, changing RBC rheological properties. The variation of velocity profile and blood viscosity shows typical characteristics of Non-Newtonian fluids. On the basis of inflection points, the cell free layer and two-phase flow consisting of plasma and suspensions including RBCs were clearly discriminated.

RBC (red blood cell) deformability is one of factors inducing blood shear thinning effect. Reduction of RBC deformability increases blood viscosity in high shear region. In this study, 3D printed chip with proper distribution of wall shear rate (WSR) was proposed to measure RBC deformability of blood samples. To fabricate 3D printed chip, the design of 3D printed chip determined through numerical simulation was modified based on the resolution of the 3D printer. For the estimation of pressure drop in the 3D printed chip, two bypass outlets with low and high WSR are exposed to atmospheric pressure through the needles. By positioning the outlet of needles in the gravity direction, the formation of droplets at bypass outlets can be captured by smartphone. Through image processing and fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis, the frequency of droplet formation was analyzed. Since the frequency of droplet formation is related with the pressure at bypass, high pressure drop caused by reduction of RBC deformability can be estimated by monitoring the formation of blood droplets using the smartphone.

A new torsional analysis method for multiple cell box based on the Softened Truss Model Theory was developed. This softened truss model unifies shear and torsion to address the problem associated with a torque applied on a box. The model should be very useful for the analysis of a reinforced concrete box under torque, especially for the bridge superstructure with multiple cell box sections.

Open microcellular foams having small-sized cell and good mechanical properties are desirable for many practical applications. As an effort to reduce the cell size, the microcellular foams combining viscosity improvers into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were prepared via high internal phase emulsion polymerization. Since the material properties of foam are closely related to the solution properties of emulsion state before polymerization, the flow behavior of emulsions was investigated using a controlled stress rheometer. The yield stress and the storage modulus increased as viscosity improver concentration and agitation speed increased, due to the reduced cell size reflecting both a competition between the continuous phase viscosity and the viscosity ratio and an increase of shear force. Appreciable tendency was found between the rheological data of emulsions and the cell sizes of polymerized foams. Cell size reduction with the concentration of viscosity improver could be explained by the relation between capillary number and viscosity ratio. A correlative study for the cell size reduction with agitation speed was also attempted and the result was in a good accordance with the hydrodynamic theory.
