  • A 2-bay 2-story moment-resisting reinforced concrete plane frame with seismic detail was designed. One 1/2.5-scale and one 1/10th model subassemblages were manufactured accoring to the required similitude law. Then the reversed load tests under the displacement control were performed statically to these subassemblages. The results of these tests were compared regarding to the similitude in the characteristics of structural behaviors such as strength., stiffness, energy dissipation, failure modes and local deformations. Based on these results, the following conclussions were drawn : (1) The strength of 1/10 model was very similar to that of 1/2.5 specimen. (2) The initial stiffness of 1/10 model appers to be approximately 2/3 of that of 1/2.5 specimen. (3) 1/10 model has therefore smaller energy dissipation capacity than 1/2.5 specimen. (4) Inelastic excursion mechanisms of 1/2.5 specimen and 1/10 model apper to be a little different.

  • The nonlocal static bending, buckling, free and forced vibrations of graphene nanosheets are examined based on the Kirchhoff plate theory and Taylor expansion approach. The nonlocal nanoplate model incorporates the length scale parameter which can capture the small scale effect. The governing equations are derived using Hamilton's principle and the Navier-type solution is developed for simply-supported graphene nanosheets. The analytical results are proposed for deflection, natural frequency, amplitude of forced vibration and buckling load. Moreover, the effects of nonlocal parameter, half wave number and three-dimensional sizes on the static, dynamic and stability responses of the graphene nanosheets are discussed. Some illustrative examples are also addressed to verify the present model, methodology and solution. The results show that the new nanoplate model produces larger deflection, smaller circular frequencies, amplitude and buckling load compared with the classical model.

  • In this paper, vibration characteristics of chiral double-walled carbon nanotubes entrenched on Kelvin's model. The Eringen's nonlocal elastic equations are being combined with Kelvin's theory to observe small scale response. A nonlocal model has been formulated to explore the frequency spectrum of chiral double-walled CNTs along with diversity of indices and nonlocal parameter. Wave propagation is proposed technique to establish field equations of model subjected to four distinct end supports. The significance of scale effect in relevance of length-to-diameter and thickness- to- radius ratios are discussed and displayed in detail.

  • Computer vision technology can be used to interpret the images captured by web cameras installed on construction sites to automatically quantify the results. This information can be used for quality control, productivity measurement and to direct construction. Steel frame construction is particularly well suited for automatic monitoring as all structural members can be viewed from a small number of camera locations, and three-dimensional computer models of steel structures are frequently available in a standard electronic format. A system is being developed that interprets the 3-D model and directs a camera to look for individual members as regular intervals to determine when each is in place and report the results. Results from a simple lab-scale system are presented along with preliminary full-scale development.

  • This presentation introduces Korea's SNIPE (Small scale magNespheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiment) mission, formation flying CubeSat constellation. Observing particles and waves on a single satellite suffers from inherent space-time ambiguity. To observe spatial and temporal variations of the micro-scale plasma structures on the topside ionosphere, four 6U CubeSats (~ 10 kg) will be launched into a polar orbit of the altitude of ~500 km in 2021. The distances of each satellite will be controlled from 10 km to more than 100 km by formation flying algorithm. The SNIPE mission is equipped with identical scientific instruments, solid-state telescope, magnetometer, and Langmuir probe. All the payloads have a high temporal resolution (sampling rates of about 10 Hz). Iridium modules provide an opportunity to upload changes in operational modes when geomagnetic storms occur. SNIPE's observations of the dimensions, occurrence rates, amplitudes, and spatiotemporal evolution of polar cap patches, field-aligned currents (FAC), radiation belt microbursts, and equatorial and mid-latitude plasma blobs and bubbles will determine their significance to the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere interaction and quantify their impact on space weather.

  • The present paper develops application of third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) and modified couple stress theory (MCST) to size-dependent bending analysis of a functionally graded cylindrical micro-shell. The radial and axial displacement components are described based on TSDT for more accurate analysis. The effect of small scales is accounted based on MCST. The principle of virtual work is used for derivation of bending governing equations. The solution is presented for a simply-supported boundary condition to account the influence of various important parameters such as micro length scale parameter, in-homogeneous index and some dimensionless geometric parameters such as length to radius and length to thickness ratios on the bending results. A comparative analysis is presented to examine the effect of order of employed shear deformation theory on the axial and radial displacements.

  • 본 연구는 소하천을 대상으로 홍수로 인한 교량에서의 유송잡물 집적을 방지하기 위한 저감시설에 대한 실험연구이다. 일반적으로 소하천은 태풍 및 집중호우 시 유송잡물에 의한 구조물 피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으나 이러한 피해에 대한 저감대책은 전무한 실정이다. 국외에서는 유송잡물로 집적으로 인한 피해저감시설로 수직분리대방식, 말뚝시설방식, 스위퍼 방식에 대해 소개하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유송잡물 저감시설 중 스위퍼를 대상으로 실규모 집적실험을 통해 저감능력을 검토하고자 하였다. 스위퍼는 교각전면부에 설치하여 자력회전을 통해 유송잡물을 우회시켜 교각에 유송잡물이 집적되지 않게 만드는 시설이다. 실규모 실험을 위해 소교량 모형을 실물크기로 제작하였으며, 유송잡물 길이와 흐름조건에 따라 스위퍼 설치 전 후 집적실험을 통해 저감능력을 검토하였다. 실험결과 유송잡물의 길이가 길어지거나 유속이 적을 경우 집적률이 높게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 스위퍼 설치에서 따른 유송잡물의 집적률은 스위퍼 설치 전에 비해 최소 55%에서 최대 88%의 유송잡물 집적률이 저감되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로 판단할 때 유송잡물 잠재능력이 높은 소하천에 스위퍼를 설치할 경우 유송잡물 집적으로 인한 교량의 안정성 확보 측면에서 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The broadband and discrete sources of sound in small cooling fans of propeller type and centrifugal type were investigated to understand the turbulent vortex structures from many bladed fans using ANSI test plenum for small air-moving devices (AMDs). The noise measurement method uses the plenum as a test apparatus to determine the acoustic source spectral density function at each operating conditions similar to real engineering applications based on acoustic similarity laws. The characteristics of fans including the head rise vs. volumetric flow rate performance were measured using a performance test facility. The sound power spectrum is decomposed into two non-dimensional functions: an acoustic source spectral distribution function F(St,.phi.) and an acoustic system response function G(He,.phi.) where St, He, and .phi. are the Strouhal number, the Helmholtz number, and the volumetric flow rate coefficient, respectively. The autospectra of radiated noise measurements for the fan operating at several volumetric flow rates,.phi., are analyzed using acoustical similarity. The rotating stall in the small propeller fan with a bell-mouth guided is mainly due to a leading edge separation. It creates a blockage in the passage and the reduction in the flow rate. The sound power levels with respect to the rotational speeds were measured to reveal the mechanisms of stall and/or surge for different loading conditions and geometries, for example, fans installed with a impinging plate. Lee and Meecham (1993) studied the effect of the large-scale motions like impinging normally on a flat plate using Large-Eddy Simulation(LES) and Lighthill's analogy.[ASME Winter Annual Meeting 1993, 93-WA/NCA-22]. The dipole and quadrupole sources in the fans tested are shown closely related to the vortex structures involved using cross-correlations of the hot-wire and microphone signals.

  • Hydrophobins are surface active proteins that are produced by filamentous fungi including mushrooms. Their ability to self-assemble into an amphipathic membrane at any hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface is most intriguing. These small secreted proteins comprise of eight conserved cysteine residues which form four disulfide bridges and an extraordinary hydrophobic patch. Hydrophobins play critical roles in fungal (and/or mushrooms) growth as structural components and in the interaction of fungi and mushrooms with the environment. The biophysical and biochemical properties of the isolated proteins are remarkable, such as strong adhesion, high surface activity and the formation of various self-assembled structures. With the increasing demands of hydrophobins from fungi and mushroom sources, production and purification in large scale is under challenge. Various applications, ranging from food industries, cosmetics, nanotechnology, biosensors and electrodes, to biomaterials and pharmaceuticals are emerging and a bright future is foreseen.

  • This study is focused on the design and performance test of an earthquake simulator using stepping motor. Stepping motor which controls the motion accurately with generated pulses is applied to the earthquake simulator. Earthquakes like El Centro and Taft are used as inputs to the earthquake simulator. First the number of pulses are calculated and sent to pulse generator, . Then the generator controls the simulator according to the pulse sings, It is shown that the measured signals from the simulator are in very good agreement with input signals of scale-downed earthquakes of El Centro and Taft. This simulator will be used for the experimental study of small-scaled building structures with tuned mass dampers under earthquakes.
