막 여과는 막을 통해 물을 통과시켜 수중의 오염 물질이나 불순물을 제거하는 기술이며 고도수처리 및 하수 처리와 같은 다양한 분야에서 사용된다. 하지만, 우발적인 수질 오염이나 막 손상의 경우에는 대응하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 여과 과정을 거친 후 식수의 오염을 막기 위해 막의 손상을 모니터링 해야 한다. 본 연구에서는, 압전 센서를 사용하여 고주파 기반 전기역학적 임피던스(EMI)를 측정하여 막 완결성 시험을 수행하였다. 외부 배관에 부착된 압전 센서는 배관 내부 압력 변화로 인한 막의 물리적 특성의 변화를 검출 할 수 있다. 압력 감쇠 시험을 진행하는 동안, 부착된 압전 센서를 통해 EMI 를 측정함으로써 막 손상으로 인한 압력 강하를 측정 할 수 있다. 본 기술을 검증하기 위하여 실제 수원지에서 현장 테스트가 수행되었다. 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 각 측정 단계에서 20 회 실험을 수행 하였고 그 결과, 미세한 압력 강하를 검출함으로써 막의 손상을 모니터링 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Magnetic sensing NDE(non-destructive evaluation) method was applied to detect local damages at the steel chain of the escalator. To verify the feasibility of the magnetic sensing based chain inspection method, a magnetic sensor head was fabricated to adapt to the target chain. The fabricated sensor head scanned the notch damaged chain specimen to measure the magnetic flux signals. After obtaining signal, a series of signal processing process including pick picking and enveloping process based on Hilbert transform (HT) was performed to detect the damaged point by clarifying the signal.

The present paper discusses the nonlinear wave deformation due to a submerged coastal structure. Theory is based on the frequency-domain method using the third order perturbation and boundary integral method. Theoretical development to the second order perturbation and boundary integral method. Theoretical development to the second order Stokes wave for a bottom-seated submerged breakwater to the sea floor is newly expanded to the third order for a submerged coastal structure shown in Figure 1. Validity is demonstrated by comparing numerical results with the experimental ones of a rectangular air chamber structure, which has the same dimensions as that of this study. Nonlinear waves become larger and larger with wave propagation above the crown of the structure, and are transmitted to the onshore side of the structure. These characteristics are shown greatly as the increment of Ursell number on the structure. The total water profile depends largely on the phase lag among the first, second and third order component waves.

Gernerally, it is difficult to predict water quality in a tidal river, because tidal flows make the transport phenomena more complicated. The purpose of this study is to clarify long-term mass transport in a tidal river through suggestion of simulation model. A simulation model based on a Lagrangian coordinate system, which has the advantage reducing numerical dispersion, was used to calculate changes in concentration of chlorides. Several field surveys were conducted to verify calculated results. Concludingly, long-term behavior of mas transport in a tidal river can be represented using the model.

Laboratory batch experiments were conducted,using suspended solids and sediments taken from a tidal section of the Rokkaku river,to study the effect of salinity on nitrification and to estimate kinetic parameters of it. Experimental results indicated much more inhibitation of NO_2-N oxidation by chlorides than that of NH_4-N oxidtion. Nitrifying bacteria in sediments were less sensitive to chlorides than those in SS. The change of nitrogen concentration with time was clearly explained with the Monod growth model and the kinetic parameter, were obtained by the curve fitting method.
