A mathematical wetting model is usually used to predict the deformation of core wall rockfill dams induced by the wetting effect. In this paper, a series of wetting triaxial tests on a rockfill was conducted using a large-sized triaxial apparatus, and the wetting deformation behavior of the rockfill was studied. The wetting strains were found to be related to the confining pressure and shear stress levels, and two empirical equations, which are regarded as the proposed mathematical wetting model, were proposed to express these properties. The stress and deformation of a core wall rockfill dam was studied by using finite element analysis and the proposed wetting model. On the one hand, the simulations of the wetting model can estimate well the observed wetting strains of the upstream rockfill of the dam, which demonstrated that the proposed wetting model is applicable to express the wetting deformation behavior of the rockfill specimen. On the other hand, the simulated additional deformation of the dam induced by the wetting effect is thought to be reasonable according to practical engineering experience, which indicates the potential of the model in dam engineering.

This study presents a molecular simulation of adhesion control between carbon nanotube (CNT) and Ag thin film deposited on silicon substrate. Rough and flat Ag thin film models were prepared to investigate the effect of surface roughness on adhesion force. Heat treatment was applied to the models to modify the adhesion characteristics of the Ag/CNT interface based on thermal wetting. Simulation results showed that the heat treatment altered the Ag thin film morphology by thermal wetting, causing an increase in contact area of Ag/CNT interface and the adhesion force for both the flat and rough models changed. Despite the increase in contact area, the adhesion force of flat Ag/CNT interface decreased after the heat treatment because of plastic deformation of the Ag thin film. The result suggests that internal stress of the CNT induced by the substrate deformation contributes in reduction of adhesion. Contrarily, heat treatment to the rough model increases adhesion force because of the expanded contact area. The contact area is speculated to be more influential to the adhesion force rather than the internal stress of the CNT on the rough Ag thin film, because the CNT on the rough model contains internal stress regardless of the heat treatment. Therefore, as demonstrated by simulation results, the heat treatment can prevent delamination or wear of CNT coating on a rough metallic substrate by thermal wetting phenomena.

Due to the enormous amount of fills required, broken rock-fine grain soil mixtures have been increasingly used in the construction of high-fill foundations for airports, railways and highways in the mountain areas of western China. However, the compressibility behavior of those broken rock-fine grain soil mixtures remains unknown, which impose great uncertainties for the performance of those high-fill foundations. In this research, the mixture of broken limestone and a fine grain soil, Douposi soil, is studied. Large oedometer tests have been performed on specimens with different soil content. This research reveals the significant influence of fine grains on the compressibility of the mixture, including immediate settlement, creep, as well as wetting deformation.

본 논문에서는 계절적 환경변화로 인한 습윤-건조 반복과정에 노출되는 옹벽구조물의 거동에 관한 축소 모형실험 연구 내용을 다루었다. 이를 위해 먼저 습윤-건조 과정을 모사할 수 있는 모형 옹벽 실험 장치를 구축하고 강우강도 및 뒤채움흙의 종류 등을 매개변수로하여 다양한 조건에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 강우로 인한 습윤-건조 반복 과정은 옹벽의 변위를 증가시키고 토압을 증가시키는 등 거동 측면에서 불안정성을 야기시킬 수 있는 인자로 검토되었다. 한편, 전반적으로 첫 번째 습윤-건조 사이클에서 변위가 가장 크게 발생하고 그 이후 습윤 사이클에서의 변위 증가량은 사이클이 진행되면서 감소되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 아울러 이러한 습윤-건조 반복과정의 영향은 뒤채움흙의 종류에 따라 그 정도가 차이나는 것으로 나타났으며 세립분 함유량이 클수록 습윤-건조 반복작용의 영향이 큰 것으로 검토되었다.

In the present study, the microstructural evolution and deformation behavior of AA 2014 aluminum alloys with different microstructures in a semi-solid state were investigated. For a given alloy, applied load and deformation time, the measured strain was higher at a higher temperature, indicative of a lower solid fraction. When a large proportion of the liquid was present as intragranular droplets, the alloy would not as easily deform because the effective liquid fraction between the solid grains had decreased. Greater deformation was achieved with higher grain boundary misorientations due to the enhanced wetting of the grain boundaries with liquid. A semi-empirical constitutive model is proposed for semi-solid deformation under the conditions in the present study. The mechanism of semi-solid deformation incorporates the initial flow of the liquid in the early stages of deformation, followed by a more gradual increase in the strain due to deformation by grain sliding accompanied by self-diffusion in the solid grains.

We found that a droplet placed on a superhydrophobic surface jumps upward when we controlled the electrical wetting tension appropriately by applying AC voltage. We investigated how the surface deformation and jumping phenomenon of a droplet are affected by applied frequency under constant voltage. We found that a droplet jumps up continuously at a resonance frequency.

The Mechanical properties of steel in hot strip mill were associated with the alloy composition, plastic deformation, cooling history and so on. In the case of the same alloy composition and deformation conditions, cooling history on ROT (run out table) is the main factor in affecting mechanical properties of steel, especially, in carbon steel. On ROT, the steel undergoes under various kinds of cooling conditions such as radiation, convection by air, water and wetting zone. The coiling temperature (CT) of the steel is also important factor in affecting mechanical properties. But with the same CT, the mechanical properties of steel can be different because the temperature history of cooling is more important factor than CT itself. In this study, we have studied the relations between temperature history and mechanical properties of steel and then the predicted mechanical properties have compared with the measured values.

강우시의 사면지반과 억지말뚝의 거동을 관찰하기 위하여 각종 계측기에 의한 현장계측이 실시되었다. 즉, 억지말뚝으로 보강된 아파트 배면절개사면에 경사계, 지하수위계 및 스트레인게이지가 설치되었다. 억지말뚝에 발생된 수평변위와 휨응력은 억지말뚝속에 설치된 경사계와 스트레인게이지로 측정하였으며, 사면지반의 수평변형은 말뚝사이지반에 설치된 경사계로 측정하였다. 지하수위 계측결과 강우시 지하수위는 집중호우에 그다지 민감하지 못하였다. 강우시 지표면으로부터 습윤대가 형성되고 이 습윤대의 강하는 말뚝과 지반의 거동에 많은 영향을 미치고 있었다. 왜냐하면 습윤대의 강하로 인하여 이 습윤대 상부지반의 단위체적중량이 증가하게 되고 또한 사면의 활동력이 증가하게 되기 때문이다. 이러한 집중호우시의 억지말뚝과 사면의 거동은 탄성적이었다.

지반의 수분량 분포 및 강우에 의한 침윤선 거동과 지하수 수위 분포조사와 같이 광역지역을 대상으로 한 물리탐사기법인 지하투과 레이다탐사(ground penetrating radar, GPR) 및 전기비저항탐사(electrical resistivity survey)등을 이용해 광역조사가 이루어지며, 이에 반해 지반의 유전 반응(dielectric responses)을 이용한 유전율 측정법(permittivity method)은 협소한 지점에 대한 보다 정확한 지반의 물성 파악을 위해 다양한 연구분야에서 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 불포화 지반에 인공강우를 내려 침윤선의 침투거동을 파악하기 위하여 토층의 수분량 변화를 frequency domain reflectometry 시험법을 적용하여 측정하고, 간극수압과 간극 공기압의 변화는 간극수압계로 측정하였다. 이들 측정센서는 일정 깊이의 불포화 화강풍화토 공시체 몰드에 매설하고, 상단부에서부터 강우의 침투수 거동을 계측하여 물성치 변화로부터 수분분포 및 침윤선 분포특성을 평가하는 기법을 제안하였다. 지반 변형을 효율적으로 평가하기 위해 지반의 체적함수비, 간극수압 및 간극공기압의 측정 기술을 기존의 측정법과 비교해 신속하고 정량적으로 파악할 수 있는 측정방법에 대한 연구를 진행할 예정이다.

Swelling and subsequent deformation of membranes by water wetting are regarded as a prime drawback of hydrophilic polyurethane breathable film. Fluoroalkylated surface was prepared by reacting the film with hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI) and 2-perfluorohexyl ethanol. IR spectra and XPS results showed that the fluoroalkyl group was successfully introduced to the film surface with hexamethylene linkage. Water contact angle was increased from $68.7^{\circ}$ up to $144.2^{\circ}$ with the degree of fluoroalkylation. Decrease in water-vapor permeability was minimized even for the film of highest fluoroalkylation.
