The automatic dust separator is a device installed in the suction tank of the pumping or drainage plant, and prevents foreign substances such as aquatic plants or wood chips from being sucked into the underwater pump. Since the dust separator obstructs the flow of water for separating dusts, a water level difference is likely to occur before and after the dust separator. Since the water level difference before and after the dust separator acts as an additional hydraulic load on the dust separator structure, it may reduce the lifetime of the dust separator and cause damage. In this study, in order to reduce the water level difference, we devised changing the existing I-beam-shaped dust separator parts to a streamlined shape, and quantitatively analyzed the water level difference before and after the dust separator, hydraulic load, and flow velocity distribution through computational fluid analysis to confirm the effect of design improvement.

최근에는 경량화 문제에 대한 합리적인 솔루션을 제공하고 유용한 개념설계를 제공할 수 있는 다중 재료 구조 위상최적화가 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 기존의 MMTO(Multi-Material Topology Optimization)의 경우 후보 물질의 수가 증가할수록 설계변수의 수도 증가 하고, 결과적으로 계산 시간이 크게 증가한다. 따라서 PSM(Phase Section Method)과 같은 단일 설계변수를 갖는 MMTO가 제안되었 다. 본 연구는 조성비가 면적이나 부피비를 나타내지 못하고, 설계변수가 목표치에 충분히 집중되지 않고, 특정 재료가 요구량보다 적 게 생성되는 PSM의 세 가지 주요 제한점을 고려하여 이를 개선하는데 중점을 둔다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 재정의된 조성비와 더 나은 수렴을 위한 조정된 매개변수를 제안한다. 제안된 수정 사항의 유효성을 2차원 및 3차원 수치 예제를 통해 검증한다.

PURPOSES : The logistic roads for freight transport along to the new port of Busan have been suffered by the rapid weather changes including high temperature and torrential rain. As a result, the roads require annual repair, which have been distressed seriously by the heavy logistic and environmental loads. Therefore, we need to identify the cause of the road pavement distresses and find a proper design method to minimize the pavement distress in order to prohibit the problem aggravated. METHODS : The damaged conditions of the logistic roads were investigated on-site. In addition, applied pavement designs, real traffic volumes, and historical climatic information were intensively collected for this project. With the investigated and collected data Korean pavement design program (KPRP) was implemented to analyzed the causes of the damaged roads and conceive the pavement design draft optimized for the roads. RESULTS : According to the investigation and KPRP analysis, the traffic volume to transport freights impacts significantly the pavement distress, so that a higher PG grade binder type should be used, for which polymer modified asphalt (PMA) binders are recommended. Moreover, its pavement thickness should be increased to secure load bearing capacity, but thickening the pavement has been discouraged due to difficulties induced by the road-sectional change, especially road-height change. CONCLUSIONS : In conclusion, 5cm PMA overlay is suggested for the normal-scale maintenance, and 7cm PMA overlay for large-scale maintenance. Besides these, the application of Polymer-modified Stone Matrix Asphalt (PSMA) using PG76-22 binder would be the best preventive maintenance method, which has been well know as having higher fatigue resistant performance than general PMA. However, if we use PSMA, quality control should be very cautious since PSMA can be very susceptible premature distress if its production and construction are improperly proceeded.

본 연구에서는 피부 보습 및 진정효능을 갖는 비타민 B5인 Pantothenic acid (PA)의 피부 투과율을 개선시키기 위해 고형지질나노입자(SLN)를 설계하였다. SLN은 지질과 유화제의 종류를 변화하여 여러 조성으로 제조하였고, PA는 이중 에멀젼 가온 용융유화법으로 SLN 내에 봉입하였다. 제조 된 PA 봉입 SLN은 입자의 물리화학적 특성인 입자크기, 다분산 지수, 제타전위, 봉입율을 평가하였다. 피부 투과시험의 경우 인체 유래 인조 피부 조직을 사용하였다. 제조 된 PA 봉입 SLN의 입자크기는 192.15 – 369.87 nm이었고, 제타전위는 –21.39 - -40.55 mV이었다. SLN 내 PA의 평균 봉입효율은 44.36 – 57.16%이었고, 평균 봉입율은 12.60 – 16.36%이었다. PA 봉입 SLN의 피부 투과 결과는 SLN을 적용한 제형이 적용하지 않은 PA 용액 보다 약 3.8 – 8.8 배 PA의 피부 투과율이 개선되었다. 본 연구에서 제조 된 SLN은 PA의 피부 투과율을 개선하였음을 보여주었다. 특히, glyceryl behenate와 Span 60을 사용한 SLN이 PA의 피부 투과율이 가장 높은 결과를 보여 주었다.

Thermal and wind panels are installed on offshore oil and gas platforms to protect personnel, equipment and structures. However, in general, panels are designed and manufactured through trial and error based on performance tests. For this reason, it is difficult to develop and design a heat sink in the Korean shipbuilding and offshore equipment industry due to the lack of performance test data and limited experience. In this study, the experimental results performed to verify the performance of the thermal and wind panels were analyzed, and the characteristics and performance characteristics of the thermal and wind panels were investigated. The conclusions drawn from this study will be useful in terms of the design and development of shielding.

본 연구에서는 피부 미백 개선 기능성 화장품 소재이자 친수성 소재인 ascorbyl glucoside (AG)의 피부 투과율을 개선시키기 위해 고형지질나노입자(SLN)을 설계하였다. AG는 이중 에멀젼 가온 용융유화법으로 SLN 내에 봉입하였다. 제조 된 AG 봉입 SLN의 입자크기, 다분산 지수, 제타전위, 봉입율등의 입자의 물리화학적 특성을 평가하였다. 피부 투과시험의 경우 인체 유래 인조 피부 조직 모델 중 SkinEthic RHE를 사용하였다. 제조 된 AG 봉입 SLN의 평균 입자크기는 172.65 – 347.19 nm 이었고, 평균 제타전위는 –22.90 - -41.20 mV이었다. SLN 내 AG의 평균 봉입효율은 44.18 – 57.77%이었고, 평균 봉입율은 12.83 – 16.15%이었다. AG 봉입 SLN의 피부 투과 결과는 SLN을 적용하였을 때가 적용하지 않을 때 보다 약 3.7 – 7.4 배 피부 투과율이 개선되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제조 된 SLN은 AG의 국소약물전달시스템으로 사용하는데 유용할 것이다.

In this study, a motion control problem for the vessel towed by towing ship on the sea is considered. The towed vessel does not have self-control capabilities such that its course stability totally depends on the towing ship. Especially, in the narrow canal, river and congested harbor area, extreme tension is required during the towing operation. The authors, therefore, propose a new control system design method in which the rudder is activated to provide its maneuverability. Based on the leader following system configuration, a nonlinear mathematical model is derived and a backstepping control is designed. By experiment results with nonlinear control framework, the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed strategy are presented.

In a previous paper, ambient vibration tests were conducted on a cable stayed bridge with resilient-friction base isolation systems (R-FBI) to extract the dynamic characteristics of the bridge and compare the results with a seismic analysis model. In this paper, a nonlinear seismic analysis model was established for analysis of the bridge to compare the difference in seismic responses between nonlinear time history analysis and multi-mode spectral analysis methods in the seismic design phase of cable supported bridges. Through these studies, it was confirmed that the seismic design procedures of the “Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) for Cable Supported Bridges” is not suitable for cable supported bridges installed with R-FBI. Therefore, to reflect the actual dynamic characteristics of the R-FBI installed on cable-supported bridges, an improved seismic design procedure is proposed that applies the seismic analysis method differently depending on the seismic isolation effect of the R-FBI for each seismic performance level.

In this study, a field bridge test was conducted to find the dynamic properties of cable supported bridges with resilient-friction base isolation systems (R-FBI). Various ambient vibration tests were performed to estimate dynamic properties of a test bridge using trucks in a non-transportation state before opening of the bridge and by ordinary traffic loadings about one year later after opening of the bridge. The dynamic properties found from the results of the tests were compared with an analysis model. From the result of the ambient vibration tests of the cable supported bridge with R-FBI, it was confirmed that the dynamic properties were sensitive to the stiffness of the R-FBI in the bridge, and the seismic analysis model of the test bridge using the effective stiffness of the R-FBI was insufficient for reflecting the dynamic behavior of the bridge. In the case of cable supported bridges, the seismic design must follow the “Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) for Cable supported bridges.” Therefore, in order to reflect the actual behavior characteristics of the R-FBI installed on cable-supported bridges, an improved seismic design procedure should be proposed.
