This study estimates the degree of influence of factors influencing ground surface settlement during tunnel excavation using Shield tunneling trough 3D FE-analyses. Numerical analysis was carried out by considering face pressure, skinplate pressure, excavation length, soil model, element size and soil material properties. Also, Actually constructed shield TBM comparative analysis was conducted by compared with Volume loss model, Pressure model and field measurement data. Skinplate pressure and soil model were the most influential factors, and the analysis results were similar to field measurements when the appropriate skinplate pressure was applied according to the passing stratum.

The effects of strake incidence-angle on the vortex characteristics and the wing-surface pressure distribution for a double-delta wing with strake were investigated experimentally. The strake incidence-angle of negative sign(strake is pitched down from the main-wing upper-surface) increased the suction pressure of the wing-upper surface, which was the same effect of increase of angle of attack. This change of the suction pressure was caused by the closer movement of the vortex cores to the wing upper surface rather than the increase of the vortex strength.

A pressure measurement system was developed to verify magnitude and position of transferred pressure on the body surface during the intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) which is one of the most well-known methods for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Eighty force sensing resistors (FSR) were arranged on a mannequin leg and a hardware controller sensed, digitized, and transferred pressure data every second while IPC was being applied. Finally, sensed pressure data were color coded and visualized on the 3D model with lab-developed software. The pressure data were also saved to files for further analysis. Using this measurement system, the changing pattern of pressure was measured on the mannequin leg by changing both chamber pressure and cuff tightness. As a result, net pressure transferred onto the body surface is dependent on chamber pressure and cuff tightness. Under the same chamber pressure, the tighter a cuff was worn, the wider compressed area was and the shorter compression cycle was. Also transferred pressure was proportional to both chamber pressure and cuff tightness.

The evolution of oxidation states of vanadium is monitored with ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. As the pressure of oxygen gas and surface temperature change, the formations of various oxidation states of vanadium are observed on the surface. Under 100mTorr of the oxygen gas pressure and 523K of sample temperature, VO2 and V2O5 are formed on the surface. The temperature-dependent resistance measurement on grown sample shows a clear metal-insulator transition near 350K. In addition, the measurement of Raman spectroscopy displays the structural change from monoclinic to rutile structures across the phase transition temperature.

The Displacement current measurement system used in this experiment because detecting the dynamic behavior of monolayers at the air-water interface is possible. It basically consists of a film balance, a pair of electrodes connected to each other through a sensitive ammeter. Here, one electrode is suspended in air and the other electrode is placed in the water. PBLG phase transformation measured by Maxwell-displacement-current-measurement method in surface of the water. Measured (surface pressure, displacement current and dipole moment) of monolayers of PBLG on the water surface. We measured displacement current that occur when changed temperature. Could know that displacement current is proportional in increase of temperature and great as experiment result.

The organization of phospholipid monolayers and their monolayers mixed with fatty acid containing azobenzene on the water surface was investigated by means of the displacement current measurement method. The phase transition from the gaseous phase to the gaseous-fluid phase which accompanies the polar ordering of phospholipid molecules was detected in the range of immeasurably low surface pressure. The molecular area which gives the onset of the transition was determined for phospholipid monolayers. The Maxwell displacement current(MDC) pulses were generated across mixed monolayers due to the photoisomerization of fatty acid containing azobenzene by alternating irradiation of ultraviolet and visible light, because the condensation of pure azobenzene monolayers was loosened by the introduction of phospholipids into the monolayers. The displacement currents generated during light irradiation were also investgated in connection with monolayer compression cycles. It was found that the maximum of MDC appeared at the molecular area just before the initial rise of surface pressure in compression cycles.

This study aims to enhance the understanding of the surface pressure distribution around rectangular bodies, by considering aspects such as the suction pressure at the leading edge on the top and side faces when the body aspect ratio and wind direction are changed. We carried out wind tunnel measurements and numerical simulations of flow around a series of rectangular bodies (a cube and two rectangular bodies) that were placed in a deep turbulent boundary layer. Based on a modern numerical platform, the Navier-Stokes equations with the typical two-equation model (i.e., the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model) were solved, and the results were compared with the wind tunnel measurement data. Regarding the turbulence model, the results of the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model are in overall agreement with the experimental results, including the existing data. However, because of the blockage effects in the computational domain, the pressure recovery region is underpredicted compared to the experimental data. In addition, the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model sometimes will fail to capture the exact flow features. The primary emphasis in this study is on the flow characteristics around rectangular bodies with various aspect ratios and approaching wind directions. The aspect ratio and wind direction influence the type of wake that is generated and ultimately the structural loading and pressure, and in particular, the structural excitation. The results show that the surface pressure variation is highly dependent upon the approaching wind direction, especially on the top and side faces of the cube. In addition, the transverse width has a substantial effect on the variations in surface pressure around the bodies, while the longitudinal length has less influence compared to the transverse width.

Conventional rectal catheters which are used for the measurement of abdominal pressure can cause erroneous result affecting detrusor pressure, and the catheter itself is not comfortable to the patients. To reduce these problems, we invented a new method for measuring abdominal pressure in non invasive manner using surface electromyography (EMG) signals of the rectus abdominis muscle. Our results showed that the correlation coefficient and root mean square error (RMSE) between the measured abdominal pressures by the conventional rectal catheters and the estimated values by our proposed algorithm were $0.79{\pm}0.06$ and $0.10{\pm}0.07$, respectively. These findings suggest that the surface EMG of rectus abdominis muscle might be used indirectly for more convenient measurement of abdominal pressure on ambulatory urodynamic study.

this study, three dimensional surface pressure distributions of SWIM whose main wing has NACA4412 airfoil with NACA0012 flaps were experimentally measured by pressure sensitive paint. Surface pressures on suction and pressure sides of the wing were measured by changing an angle of attack at a Reynolds number of 3.1x105 in KARI 1m subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental results showed that as an angle of attack increases minimum pressure region on a suction side moved from the wing root to the tip and low pressure region around trailing edge of the wing tip which causes wing tip vortex was observed. Although low pressure region at the tip still observed at an angle of attack 15 deg., other area on a suction side showed flat pressure distribution in a span-wise direction. It was also observed that the mean value of pressure coefficients was about 0.077 through a comparison between PSP and pressure taps at the same test conditions.

This study was to select the measurement points for the brassier and the waist-nipper. 15 subjects (ages 30-40) were chosen by % body fat to represent various physical types. Subjects put on each garment, brassier and a waist-nipper, in turns. Measurement points in the underwear were selected according to the parts of human body. The characteristics and surface area of each garment was considered carefully when the measurement points were selected. Selected measurement points on a brassier and a waist-nipper were chosen from the anterior midsagittal line, the side-seam line, and the posterior midsagittal line. Three points on the brassier and three points on the waist-nipper were selected as the measurement points. There was a highly significant correlation between % body fat and mean garment pressure. There were no significant relationships between thickness of subcutaneous fat and mean garment pressure by measured parts.
