Due to the nature of cavitation numerical analyses, computational optimization of a pump with respect to the cavitation properties is extremely demanding. In this paper it is shown how a combination of Transient Blade Row (TBR) method and some simplifications can be used for making the optimization process more efficient and thus possible on current generation of hardware. The aim of the paper is not the theory of hydraulic design. Instead, the practical aspects of numerical optimization are shown. This is done on an example of a radial pump and a combination of ANSYS CFX, ANSYS software tools and custom scripts is used. First, a comparison of TBR and fully-transient simulation is made. Based on the results, the TBR method is chosen and a parametric model assembled. Design of Experiment (DOE) table is computed and the results are used for sensitivity analysis. As the last step, the final design is created and computed as fully-transient. In conclusion, the results are discussed.

The problem of decision making under imprecise environments are widely spread in real life decision situations. We present a method of object recognition from imprecise multi observer data, which extends the work of Roy and Maji [J Compu. Appl. Math. 203(2007) 412-418] to generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory. The method involves the construction of a comparison table from a generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set in a parametric sense for decision making.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been related to damage identification with either operational loads or other environmental loading playing a significant complimentary role in terms of structural safety. In this study, a non-parametric method of time frequency analysis on the measurement is used to address the time-frequency representation for modal parameter estimation and system damage identification of structure. The method employs the wavelet decomposition of dynamic data by using the modified complex Morlet wavelet with variable central frequency (MCMW+VCF). Through detail discussion on the selection of model parameter in wavelet analysis, the method is applied to study the dynamic response of both steel structure and reinforced concrete frame under white noise excitation as well as earthquake excitation from shaking table test. Application of the method to building earthquake response measurement is also examined. It is shown that by using the spectrogram generated from MCMW+VCF method, with suitable selected model parameter, one can clearly identify the time-varying modal frequency of the reinforced concrete structure under earthquake excitation. Discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of the method through field experiments are also presented.

수치 계산을 이용하여 선형의 유체동력학적인 특성을 신속히 파악하기 위해서는 선체표면 격자계를 생성하는 과정이 쉽고 자동화되어 있어야 한다. 이를 위하여 기본 스테이션 오프셋과 선수미 윤곽선만을 이용하여 선형을 정의하고, 이를 이용하여 퍼텐셜 유동이나 점성유동의 계산에 필요한 선체 표면 격자계를 손쉽게 생성할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 선수와 선미 벌브를 가진 일반 상선의 선형을 표현하기 위해 수선의 양 끝단을 타일, 포물선, 쌍곡선, 3차 곡선 등의 조합으로 표시할 수 있게 하였다. 그리고 선수와 선미의 윤곽선을 격자계의 경계선으로 하였기 때문에 비선형 자유수면 조건을 이용한 조파저항 계산에서의 격자 변형이나 점성유동 해석을 위한 난류 경계층에서의 벽좌표의 정의가 종단면을 기준으로 한 종래의 격자에 비해 매우 편리하다고 할 수 있다.

This study was carried out to investigate what kinds of statistical techniques have been used to analyze data from oriental medicine research, For study, 551 original articles which used statistical techniques in their data analysis were selected form the articles published in The journal of Korean Acupuncture & Moxibustion Society(JKAMS) between 1984 to 2002. among them, 122 articles used descriptive statistics while 429 articles used inferential statistics for data analysis. For that 429 articles, t-test (189 articles), analysis fo variance (111 articles), chi-square test (14 articles), correlation (10 articles), regression analysis (4 articles), factor analysis(5 articles), or nonparametric test (23 articles) were chose to analyze the data. Nonparametric approach has substantial power in case data do not meet the assumption of normality. This method is not only easy to use ut also provides measures of the statistical variation of nominal and ordinal scale. This study shows that more and more recent papers use nonparametric test compared to the old articles. nine different statistical software or packages (SAS, SPSS, Statview, Minitab, Sigma plot, ISP, Graphpad prism, Excel, Access) have been used in the articles published JKMAS. High level statistical techniques such as SAS, SPSS, and Statview are user friendly and used most for acupuncture and Moxibustion research. Including tables and plots in an article facilitates understanding family process data from a descriptive standpoint, minimized erroneous statistical conclusions, and clarifies theoretically important relationships among variables. Table and plots have been used 500 and 233 articles, respectively. A computer procedure is proposed and illustrated with statistical packages using SAS, SPSS, Statview and ISP.

Unsteady self-excited forces are commonly represented by parametric models such as rational functions. However, this requires complex multiparametric nonlinear fitting, which can be a challenging task that requires know-how. This paper explores the alternative nonparametric modeling of unsteady self-excited forces based on relations between flutter derivatives. By exploiting the properties of the transfer function of linear causal systems, we show that damping and stiffness aerodynamic derivatives are related by the Hilbert transform. This property is utilized to develop exact simplified expressions, where it is only necessary to consider the frequency dependency of either the aeroelastic damping or stiffness terms but not both simultaneously. This approach is useful if the experimental data on aerodynamic derivatives that are related to the damping are deemed more accurate than the data that are related to the stiffness or vice versa. The proposed numerical models are evaluated with numerical examples and with data from wind tunnel experiments. The presented method can evaluate any continuous fitted table of interpolation functions of various types, which are independently fitted to aeroelastic damping and stiffness terms. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology performs well. The relations between the flutter derivatives can be used to enhance the understanding of experimental modeling of aerodynamic self-excited forces for bridge decks.

터널 하중을 예측하는 것은 터널 설계에서 가장 중요한 문제 중의 하나이다. 개나다 에드몬턴시의 여러 터널로 부터 측정된 계측자료와 기존에 존재하는 설계방법을 이용하여 계산된 터널 하중의 비교를 통하여 기존 설계방법들의 정확도를 검토하였다. 그러나 기존의 방법들은 터널 하중을 예측하는데 만족하지 못한 결과를 보여 주었다. 일자 라이닝의 설치 이전에 발생하는 응력감소 인자를 구한 후, 기존의 설계방법을 결합하여 터널 하중을 예측할 것을 제안하였다. 에드몬턴시에 건설된 터널에 대한 무차원 하중 인자인 nD/H값이 도표로 제시되었다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여, 제안된 방법으로 계산된 터널 하중과 계측 값을 비교하였다. 다른 지역 터널의 경우, 비교적 견고 (stiff) 하거나 조밀 (dense)한 흙으로 구성된 지반에 터널이 건설될 경우에는 제안된 방법을 사용할 수 있다.

지하수위 하에서 터널을 굴착하게 되면, 지하수 흐름은 터널내로 발생하면서 터널 단면에 침투력이 작용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 지하수 흐름을 고려한 숏크리트 라이닝 거동을 지반 및 숏크리트 라이닝 상호간의 투수계수의 비율에 따라 검토하였다. 숏크리트 응력 및 변위 관계는 3차원 유한요소 연계해석을 수행하여 산정하였다. 지하수 흐름 자체는 아칭효과가 발휘되지 않기 때문에, 터널의 응력이 평형상태에 도달한 후에도 침투력은 계속적으로 숏크리트 라이닝에 작용하여 심각한 영향을 준다. 지반 및 숏크리트 라이닝 상호간의 인터페이스 특성 및 터널의 단변형상 그리고 라이닝의 두께를 포함한 숏크리트 거동의 영향 인자에 대해 매개변수분석을 실시하였다. 또한 NATM 터널에서의 침투력을 고려한 내공변위 제어법을 제안하였다. 해석결과를 보면, 숏크리트의 투수성이 낮아질수록 잔류수압에 따른 유효응력의 감소로 인해 내공변위는 감소하고 내압은 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 띠라서 차수성이 강한 강섬유보강 숏크리트가 해저/하저 터널의 지보재로서 더욱 유리하다는 결론을 얻었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mutual relationship between food preference and nutrient intake status of high school students, based on the their personal characters which are sex, age, family type, number of family, mother's age, occupation, and school career. 439 students were selected with random stratified cluster sampling method. The study used a self-administrated questionnaire and 24-hour recall method for 5 days as instrument tools. Statistical methods applied to analyze the data were frequency, percent, Willcoxon Rank-sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, ${x^2}-test$ by contingence table, and Spearman's correlation coefficient in non parametric statistical methods. Some of interesting results are as follows : 1. The correlation between sex and the set of characters of mother's age, school career and income is highly significant. However there is no any significant difference on the kinds of job and the types of family. 2. The relation between the preference of main dishes and the nutrient intake show a significant difference except to the noodles. This marks that preference of main dishes shows a direct proportion with the nutrient intakes except for the fat, vitamin A, vitamin C. 3. The preference of animal food marks a direct proportion with the nutrients such as energy, protein, fat, fiber, phosphorus, iron, vitamin $B_{1}$, vitamin $B_{2}$, and niacin 4. The preference of vegetable food gives some influence on the nutrient intake but the preference of soup is insignificant, the preference of Kimchi is in reverse proportion, and the preference of vegetable marks a direct proportion with the nutrient intake. 5. The preference of snacks marks a direct proportion with all kinds of nutrients intake except for the vitamin A, and vitamin C.

Connections are usually designed either as pinned usually associated with simple construction or rigid normally is associated with continuous construction. However, the actual behaviour falls in between these two extreme cases. The use of partial strength or semi-rigid connections has been encouraged by Euro-code 3 and studies on semi-continuous construction have shown substantial savings in steel weight of the overall construction. Composite connections are proposed in this paper as partial or full strength connections. Standardized connection tables are developed based on checking on all possible failure modes as suggested by "component method" for beam-to-column composite connection on major axis. Four experimental tests were carried out to validate the proposed standardised connection table. The test results showed good agreement between experimental and theoretical values with the ratio in the range between 1.06 to 1.50. All tested specimens of the composite connections showed ductile type of failure with the formation of cracks occurred on concrete slab at maximum load. No failure occurred on the Trapezoidal Web Profiled Steel Section as beam and on the British Section as column.
