Abstract Flexible piezoelectric sensors have been spotlighted as an essential human–machine interface (HMI) by obtaining high‐quality data from omnipresent biomechanical inputs. Because human voice is the most intuitive bio‐signal among them, flexible piezoelectric acoustic sensors (f‐PAS) have a potential to shift the paradigm of HMI technologies. Despite the reported outstanding performance such as high sensitivity and speaker recognition accuracy, the theoretical investigation of f‐PAS has be

Defining Yield from Bender Element Measurements in Triaxial Stress Probe Experiments
Young-Hoon Jung, Wanjei Cho, Richard J. Finno
SJR Q1Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering

This paper describes the elastic response of a block sample of compressible Chicago glacial clay under a variety of stresses and its relationship with the deformation characteristics at relatively large strains. The elastic shear stiffness was obtained from bender element tests during consolidation and shearing in drained triaxial stress probe tests. An empirical correlation was established based on the elastic shear stiffness in a preyield condition. By comparing the empirical correlation with

최인훈 소설에서 반복의 의미
정영훈

최인훈 소설에는 반복적인 요소가 많다. 동일한 상황이나 동일한 문구, 유사한 장면의 반복 등 개별 작품에 나타나는 반복적 요소뿐 아니라 작품들 사이에서 나타나는 반복적 요소도 많다. 이 글은 최인훈 소설 전반에 걸쳐 두루 발견되는 반복의 구조적 특징을 지적하고, 반복 속에 내재한 향락적 요소와 반복을 통해 얻고자 하는 바에 대해 살펴보았다. 이 과정에서 확인할 수 있었던 것은 다음과 같다. 최인훈 소설의 반복은 타자의 오인을 중심으로 구조화되어 있다. 최인훈 소설에서 반복의 중심에 있는 것은 타자의 오인이다. 타자의 오인이 되풀이되고, 이 상황을 모면하기 위한 소설 속 주인공의 노력이 계속되며, 바로 이것이 최인훈 소설의 반복에서 핵심적인 자리를 차지하고 있다. 반복되는 타자의 오인은 고통스럽고 불쾌한 경험이지만, 역설적이게도 여기에는 쾌락적인 요소 또한 존재한다. 반복되는 타자의 오인은 이른바 향락의 대상이 되고 있는데, 이는 타자의 오인 속에 정체화된 모습을 만족스러워하거나 반복

Creep of calcareous sand in Tunisia: effect of particle breakage at low stress level
Hyunwook Choo, Minhyuk Kwon, Lamia Touiti, Young-Hoon Jung
SJR Q1International Journal of Geo-EngineeringOA

Abstract Aims/hypothesis One of the critical mechanisms determining creep in granular materials is the breakage of soil particles. This study aims at evaluating the time-dependent creep deformation of calcareous sand at low effective stress conditions. Methods K 0 creep tests were performed for both calcareous and silica sands at low stresses of 65 and 120 kPa, and the results of creep tests were compared with the results of constant rate of strain (CRS) tests at high stress levels up to 12 MPa.

Patterns of Nonlinear Shear Stiffness Degradation of Reconstituted Clay with Different Stress Histories
Young-Hoon Jung, Jinhyun Choo, Wanjei Cho, Choong-Ki Chung
SJR Q2Marine Georesources and Geotechnology

This paper describes patterns of nonlinear shear stiffness degradation with respect to the stress history of clay. An experimental study using undrained triaxial compression tests was conducted on specimens cut from reconstituted clay samples of kaolinite. The nonlinear pattern of stiffness degradation was analyzed within the frameworks of both the conventional overconsolidation ratio (OCR) and the stress path rotation angle. The experimental data were subsequently interpreted based on the conce
