BIog services have been developed in 5 years and also many companies have introduced many kinds of blog services as well. It is expected that the blog services will grow continuously. As the number of blog users is growing rapidly, the blogs progressively exert their influences on our society and are directly connected to the success or the failure of the portal site businesses. Thus it is necessary to investigate users' motivation to use blog and to predict their intention of continuous uses of the blog. Specifically, this study is to focus on user's motivation and user's psychological status in using the blogs. Furthermore, this study explores their causal relationships. The study tries to investigate what motivations make users to use the blogs on the regular basis. Its results show that two motivation factors, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors, significantly affect user's flow experiences and the flow experiences affect general use of the blogs.

In this study the confining pressure dependancy of internal friction angle of rock materials are discussed based on the results of a series of large triaxial tests under consolidated-drained condition. The rock materials tested are two kinds of grain-size distribution ;one is well graded, the other poorly graded(a uniform distribution). The obtained results shows that the internal friction angle of rock materials decreases more sharply in low stress level than in high stress level, and the test constants A and b in De Mello's failure criterion on rockfill materials are A =0.683∼l.584, b=0.712∼l.015 for the well graded and A=1.145∼l.523, b=0.788∼0.880 for the poorly graded.

This paper describes the study on the basic characteristics of discharge generated in cable splices using ultrasonic measurement method. Two kinds of defect which might be existed in a real cable splice were simulated. One is surface discharge moisture and metallic alien substances and the other is partial discharge by metallic particle. As a result, there were some differences in the characteristics of ultrasonic signals according to each defect. Therefore, it was found that is could be possible to protect the failure in cable splices in advance by analyzing the ultrasonic signals coming from the cable splice due to partial discharge.

Feedback loop dominance is a key concept to understand structural driving forces of system behavior. In this paper, we propose two kinds of shifts in dominant feedback loops: continuous shifts (CS) and discrete shifts (DS). With the help of questionnaires, we verified three hypotheses regarding cognitive biases in perceiving the shifts in dominant feedback loops: 1) failure in perceiving continuous shifts, 2) tendency of decision making based on discrete shifts, and 3) different perception on the dominant feedback loops between level variables and rate variables. We discussed the implication of these cognitive biases on time delay and timing strategy in decision-making processes.

Woven sisal textile fiber reinforced composites were used to evaluate fracture toughness, tensile and three-point bending. The water absorption testing of all specimens was repeated five times in this study. All specimens were immersed in pure water during 9 days at room temperature, and dried in 1 day at $50^{\circ}C$. Two kinds of polymer matrices such as epoxy and vinyl-ester were used. Fractured surfaces were taken to study the failure mechanism and fiber/matrix interfacial adhesion. It is shown that it can be enhanced to improve their mechanical performance to reveal the relationship between fracture toughness and water absorption fatigue according to different polymer matrices. Water uptake of the epoxy composites was found to increase with cycle times. Mechanical properties are dramatically affected by the water absorption cycles. Water-absorbed samples showed poor mechanical properties, such as lower values of maximum strength and extreme elongation. The $K_{IC}$ values demonstrated a decrease in inclination with increasing cyclic times of wetting and drying for the epoxy and vinyl-ester.

The accidents are often resulted from multiple causes with hardware failure and human errors. So to ensure the safety of rail operation, human error should be prevented effectively. The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis system on factors of influencing human error in korean rail industry especially for engine driver and train despatcher. To achieve it, ESFs(error shaping factors) classification system was derived from several PSFs(performance shaping factors) classification system. Based on them, two kinds of questionnaires for engine driver and train despatcher each were developed. Then Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology was used to evaluate what factors were critical to human error.

The postbuckling analysis of composite curved panels subjected to lateral loading was conducted by a nonlinear finite clement program, ACOS. Two kinds of graphite/epoxy composite materials, URN300 and USN 125 were tested to verify the finite element analysis. High stiffness composite material, URN300 curved panels showed the critical failure prior to initial buckling. On the contrary USN 125 curved panels showd no severe damage after snap-through. In both panels, the finite element and experimental results showed good agreement.

This paper describes an experimental analysis for improving the stability of blade failure due to the vibration resonance, which happens in the low-pressure steam turbine. Some cracks due to high cycle fatigue were found in the blades of a low-pressure turbine after long time operation. Impact test showed that such failure was mainly caused by the resonance. In other words, since one of the natural frequencies of the grouped blade is very close to the excitation frequency of the nozzle, the resonant vibration leads to a large amplitude of displacement and results in a large amount of stress that may cause fatigue failures in the blades. It is interesting that the blade failures occur only at blades neighboring with the nodal points of the natural vibration mode whose natural frequency is close to the nozzle passing frequency. The effective methods for increasing the reliability against the blade vibration are a heightening the fatigue limit of the blade using an advanced material and a removing the resonance away from the operating speed. It is well known that the removal of theresonance could be obtained by the installation of different types of shrouds, wires, and links between the blades as well as by the chance of the number of nozzles. In the present work, two kinds of modification for avoiding the resonance haute been considered; 1) slot-type finger, 2) long span cover. Full-scale mockup tests have been performed in order to confirm the verification for modification in the shop. Test results show that the use of long span cover is very useful to change the natural frequencies of the grouped blade and to avoid the resonance effectively.

A large number of low-rise buildings experienced serious roof covering failures under strong wind while few suffered structural damage. Clay and concrete tiles are two main kinds of roof covering. For the tile roof system, few researches were carried out based on Finite Element (FE) analysis due to the difficulty in the simulation of the interface between the tiles and the roof sheathing (the bonding materials, foam or mortar). In this paper, the FE analysis of a single clay or concrete tile with foam-set or mortar-set were built with the interface simulated by the equivalent nonlinear springs based on the mechanical uplift and displacement tests, and they were expanded into the whole roof. A detailed wind tunnel test was carried out at Tongji University to acquire the wind loads on these two kinds of roof tiles, and then the test data were fed into the FE analysis. For the purpose of validation and calibration, the results of FE analysis were compared with the full-scale performance ofthe tile roofs under simulated strong wind impact through one-of-a-kind Wall of Wind (WoW) apparatus at Florida International University. The results are consistent with the WoW test that the roof of concrete tiles with mortar-set provided the highest resistance, and the material defects or improper construction practices are the key factors to induce the roof tiles' failure. Meanwhile, the staggered setting of concrete tiles would help develop an interlocking mechanism between the tiles and increase their resistance.

본 연구에서는 3점 굽힘 실험과 코어의 실제 형상을 모델링한 유한요소 시뮬레이션을 병행하여 외피층의 항복, 층간분리 코어의 전단 및 국부적 좌굴과 같은 다양한 파손모드를 고려한 하니컴 샌드위치 복합재료의 강도 특성과 변형거동을 검토하였다. 외피층과 하니컴 코어층 사이를 완전 접착한 시험편과 부분 층간분리 시험편을 대상으로 하니컴 코어의 셀 크기와 외피층 두께를 변화시켜 시험편의 굽힘 강성, 굽힘 강도. 굽힘 응력, 변형 및 파손 거동을 해석하였다. 결론적으로 하니컴 코어의 셀 크기와 외피층의 두께가 하니컴 샌드위치 복합재료의 굽힘 강성과 강도, 변형/파괴 거동에 주된 영향을 미쳤으며 코어의 셀 크기가 크고 외피층의 두께가 얇은 경우 굽힘 강도는 $30\~68\%$ 정도까지 저하됨을 알 수 있었다.
