The objective of this research work is to investigate the effects of process parameters, such as power of laser, travel speed of laser and material thickness, on kerfwidth and characteristics of the cut surface for the case of cutting of CSP 1N sheet using high power continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. In order to find relationship between the process parameters on the quality of the cut section, such as kerfwidth, surface roughness and the striation formation, several laser cutting experiments are carried out. From the results of experiments, an optimal cutting speed for each cutting condition has been obtained to improve the quality of the cut surface.

This study is about the passive cooling effects of three outdoor solar shading facilities as trees, pergola with wistaria vine and membrane shading structure, which are expected to provide cool spots in the summer. Field observations of measuring thermal environment of selected facilities is executed. Thermal environment measuring was categorized as short wave radiation, long wave radiation, net radiation, globe temperature, surface temperature measured by infrared camera. Heat transfer mechanism is analyzed with overall data from field measurement. Results from this study are as below; 1) Radiation balance measured on shaded surface under membrane shading structure was 17%($86W/m^2$) of the unshaded surface radiation balance($511W/m^2$). 2) Surface temperature comparison between vegetation and membrane of the shading structure is performed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Surface temperature of vegetation was same as air temperature and that of membrane was $5^{\circ}C$ higher than air temperature. Vegetation transpiration is considered as the causing factor which make those differences. 3) Results from this study could be used as fundamental data for reducing heat island phenomena and continuos research on this subject would be needed.

A panel method in the spirit of Hess & Smith(1962), and also of Dawson(1977) was developed to compute the wave resistance of a submerged, or a surface piercing, body moving in the water of finite depth. As a boundary condition on the free surface what is called the Poisson equation is used, while Yasukawa(1989) chose the Dawson equation for which the double-body flow is regarded as the basic one. In order to satisfy the boundary condition on the bottom surface automatically, the sum of a Rankine source and its image with respect to the bottom surface is chosen as the Green function, and hence the singularity is distributed only on the body and on the free surface thereby decreasing the required number of panels dramatically, compared to that of Yasukawa, without the consequential loss of accuracy. Calculations were done for a submerged sphere and for the Wigley hull, and the results are compared with other existing analytical and numerical data.

Sea surface backscattering signal measurements were conducted in the shallow waters off the east coast of Korea to study the acoustic wave scattering from the sea surface. The grazing angles of wave range from 20° to 40° with a frequency of 60 kHz. The wind speed and surface roughness of the experiment area were 3 m/os and below 1 m, respectively. The measured acoustic backscattering strengths greatly exceed the composite roughness predictions at low grazing angles. To account for this discrepancy, the scattering strengths due to a near-surface bubble layer were considered. The prediction with bubble contribution was found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

Computational results from Navier-Stokes equations are presented for the Stokes-wave/flat-plate boundary-layer and wake for small wave steepness(Ak=0.01), including exact and approximate treatments of the viscous free-surface boundary conditions. The macro-scale flow indicate that the variations of the external-flow pressure gradients cause acceleration or deceleration of the streamwise velocity component and alternating direction of the cross flow. Remarkably, the wake displays a greater response, i.e., a bias with regard to favorable as compared to adverse pressure gradients. The micro-scale flow indicates that the free-surface boundary conditions have a profound influence over the boundary layer and near/intermediate wake. Order-of-magnitude estimates are conformed to the computational results. And appreciable errors are introduced through approximations to the free-surface boundary conditions.

The improvement of surface roughness of machined cylindrical rods through the plastic polishing process was studied in this paper. The criterion and limits for the plastic polishing process due to the wave motion of the ridge were established with respect to process variables: ridge shape and size, semi-cone die angle as well as friction factor, by the application of the upper-bound approach. The surface roughness of the plastic polished products was measured, and compared with that of the original specimen. Also the depth of the surface deformation layer was tested, and compared those of the theoretical values. Qualitative agreement exists between the experimental plastic polishing loads and theoretical loads. The wave motion of the ridge was mostly occurred within the established limits. The surface roughness of specimens was sufficiently improved through the present process. Also the predicted depth of the surface deformation layer was in good agreement with experimental results.

Love wave and Rayleigh wave are the major elastic waves belonging to the category of the surface wave. Those waves are used to determine the ground stiffness profile using their dispersion characteristics. The fact that Love wave is not contaminated by P-wave makes Love wave superior to Rayleigh wave and other body waves. Therefore, the information that Love wave carries is more distinct and clearer than that of others. Based on theoretical research, the joint inversion analysis that uses the dispersion information of both Love and Rayleigh wave was proposed. Numerical analysis, theoretical model test, and field test were performed to verify the joint inversion analysis. Results from 2D, 3D finite element analysis were compared with those from the transfer matrix method in the numerical analysis. On the other hand, the difference of results from each inversion analysis was investigated in the theoretical model analysis. Finally, practical applicability of the joint inversion analysis was verified by performing field test. As a result, it is confirmed that considering dispersion information of each wave simultaneously prevents excessive divergence and improves accuracy.

Two-dimensional large-amplitude motions in regular harmonic wave are treated in time domain, by satisfying the exact body boundary condition and the linear free surface condition. For the present numerical calculation, the method of free-surface spectral representation with simple source distribution on the instantaneous body surface has been extended to include the effect of the incident wave. Calculations of the wave exciting force are performed for a submerged circular cylinder fixed or oscillating with large amplitude. Especially, nonlinear effects on the time-mean forces are studied in detail. It is shown that relative motion between the body and the fluid particle gives a significant effect on the lift and drift forces. Also, large-amplitude motion of a submerged circular cylinder and that of a floating Lewis-form cylinder are directly simulated in time domain. In the calculation results, some nonlinear effects are shown.

The corrosion-fatigue characteristics of the 12Cr steel, which is widely used in fossil power plants as a turbine blade material, are evaluated nondestructively by use of the Rayleigh surface wave. In this study, the frequency dependency of the Rayleigh surface wave is investigated indirectly by measuring the angular dependency of the backward radiation of the incident ultrasonic wave in the aged specimens, and then compared to the corrosion-fatigue characteristics. The width of the backward radiation profile decreases as the increase of the aging temperature, which seems to result from the increase of the effective degrading layer thickness. This parameter also shows an inversely proportionality to the exponent, m, in the Paris law which predicts the crack size increasement due to fatigue. The result observed in this study demonstrates high potential of the backward radiated ultrasound as a tool for the nondestructive evaluation of the corrosion-fatigue characteristics of the aged materials.

In order to establish a technical concept for the detection of defects in weldments in thin steel plate, an experimental and theoretical investigation was carried out for artificial defects in a steel plate having a thickness of 2.4mm by using the guided wave technique. In particular the goal was to find the most effective testing parameters paying attention to the relationship between the excitation frequency by a tone burst system and various incident angles. It was found that the test conditions that worked best was for a frequency of 840kHz and an incident angle of 30 or 85 degrees, most of the defects were detected with these conditions. Also, it was clear that a guided wave mode generated under an incident angle of 30 degrees was a symmetric mode, So, and that of 85 degrees corresponded to an antisymmetric mode, Ao. By using the two modes, most of all of the defects could be detected. Furthermore, it was shown that the antisymmetric mode was more sensitive to defects near the surface than the symmetric mode. Theoretical predictions confirmed this sensitivity improvement with Ao for surface defects because of wave structure variation and energy concentration near the surface.
