To deal with the case of a rigid retaining wall built close to a stable rock face with cohesionless backfill, analytical solution methods Proposed by Spangler- Handy and Sokolovskii are modified. The modified solution methods, taking into account different friction angles along the wall and the rock face, can estimate the developed static or dynamic horizontal earth pressures behind vertical retaining walls experiencing various types of outward wall movements. The range of application of each proposed method, which is represented by the ratio of the distance between the wall and the rock face to the height of the wall, is compared with each other and also is examined for different wall friction angles as well as soil friction angles. Further, the result predicted by the modified Spangler - Handy solution method is compared with that from the experimental model test on sand. The comparison shows in general good agreements at various stages of retaining wall rotation about its toe. Finally results of analytical parametric study, together with the design charts, are presented to demonstrate the effects of wall friction angles and horizontal acceleration coefficients.

In this paper, we propose a time varying biased proportional navigation guidance law that controls the impact angle under Field-of-View(FOV) and the acceleration limit of the missile. The proposed law is composed of three stages in consideration of the FOV limitation. Since the bias directly affects the acceleration at each stage, the final bias value of the previous stage becomes the initial bias value of the next stage when the stage is switched. In addition, the impact angles were controlled by judging whether impact angles were reached in consideration of engagement conditions and physical constraints.

As the number of earthquakes gradually increases on the Korean Peninsula, much research has been actively conducted to detect earthquakes quickly and accurately. Because traditional seismic stations are expensive to install and operate, recent research is currently being conducted to detect earthquakes using low-cost MEMS sensors. In this article, we evaluate how a low-cost MEMS acceleration sensor installed in a smartphone can be used to detect earthquakes. To this end, we installed about 280 smartphones at various locations in Korea to collect acceleration data and then assessed the installed sensors' noise floor through PSD calculation. The noise floor computed from PSD determines the magnitude of the earthquake that the installed MEMS acceleration sensors can detect. For the last few months of real operation, we collected acceleration data from 200 smartphones among 280 installed smartphones and then computed their PSDs. Based on our experiments, the MEMS acceleration sensor installed in the smartphone is capable of observing and detecting earthquakes with a magnitude 3.5 or more occurring within 10km from an epic center. During the last several months of operation, the smartphone acceleration sensor recorded an earthquake of magnitude 3.5 in Miryang on December 30, 2019, and it was confirmed as an earthquake using STA/LTA which is a simple earthquake detection algorithm. The earthquake detection system using MEMS acceleration sensors is expected to be able to detect increasing earthquakes more quickly and accurately.

This paper proposes a new guidance law for increasing the lethality of munitions. The well known PNG (Proportional Navigation Guidance) is inadequate for the munitions because of some weaknesses. Even if the munition does not have the impact point error, the acceleration command is non zero because the line-of-sight changes at all times in flight. Therefore, we use a difference between a target and an impact point. This proposed guidance law is similar to PNG in the form, but this guidance law concentrates a correction rate of flight path angle instead of the LOS (Line of Sight) rate. The correction of flight path angle is defined as the amount of impact point error. This impact point error can be calculated by neural networks rapidly. Finally, we show that the simulation results prove the suitability of this law.

음악은 소리를 즐긴다는 뜻을 담고 있다. 감상자에게 단순한 청각적 자극을 넘어 즐거움을 주기 위해선 음악적인 경험이 뒷받침되어야 한다. 가상 현실을 이용한 사용자와 시스템 간의 상호작용을 음악 경험 제공에 접목하려는 시도는, 새로운 경험을 통해 일반인들이 보다 쉽게 음악을 접하고 체험함으로써 음악을 통해 즐거움을 얻을 수 있도록 도움을 주는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 가상 오케스트라를 구현하고 지휘 동작을 재현하는 것은 이러한 가능성을 극대화하는 연구이다. 본 논문에서는 가상 오케스트라를 구현하기 위해 필수적인 중간 단계로, 사용자의 지휘 동작을 감지하여 연주의 박자(속도)를 제어하는 지휘 시뮬레이션 시스템을 제시한다. 실제의 지휘 동작을 분석하고, 동작의 변화를 인식하기 위하여 가속도 센서를 이용, 공간상에서 지휘봉의 움직임을 가속도 정보로 수집하여 이에 상응하는 박자의 제어를 구현한다. 사용자의 박자 명시에 따라 변화하는 상하 방향의 가속도를 센서를 통해 전압 신호로 입력 받고, DSP 의 A/D conversion 모듈에서 디지털 신호로 변환, 일정 수준 이상의 신호를 박자 정보로 직렬통신을 통해 컴퓨터에 전달한다. 컴퓨터에서는 Max/MSP를 이용하여 각 박자 사이의 시간 간격을 측정하고 상응하는 MIDI 음악을 재생하는 방식으로 시스템이 구현된다. 기존 연구에서 사용된 CCD 카메라에 의한 Motion Tracking 을 보완하여 동작의 크기에 따라 음량을 조절한다. 본 논문에서 제시되는 시스템은 지휘 동작에서 가장 특징적으로 나타나는 상하 방향의 급격한 가속도 변화를 직접 입력 받기 때문에 기존 시스템에 비해 지휘 동작의 인식 성공률을 높일 수 있으며, 화상 처리 및 계산에 의한 지연을 최소화할 수 있다. 또한, 장치의 규모를 소형화하여 보다 지휘봉의 형태에 가까운 인터페이스를 제공하며, 적합한 응용 콘텐츠를 접목할 경우 게임 컨트롤러로의 발전 가능성이 있다.

For the treatment of cancer using computer controlled linear accelerator, it is important to ensure that all equipments are operated properly. Therefore, many studies were performed and published on the safe use of radiotherapy machine controlled by computer logic and microprocessor These studies provided methods of preventing accident from software and hardware failure. In Korea, the use of computer controlled linear accelerator has increased over the past 10 years. However, there are no standard protocols for quality assurance (QA) of linear accelerator. In this study, three QA protocols from America, Japan, and Europe were collected and summarized. In addition, agreement and disagreement among the protocols were analyzed. In conclusion, the QA items included in the protocols were similar among the various QA protocols although there were differences in performance frequencies.

박막시료의 분석에는 RBS, XPS, SIMS, AES 등이 주로 이용되고 있으며, 특히 RBS는 비교체가 필요없고 정량성이 좋다는 장점 때문에 중요하다. 그러나 RBS는 원리적으로 경원소에 대한 감도가 낮아 기판원소보다 무거운 질량을 갖는 원소의 분석에만 이용되는 것이 보통이다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 본 연구에서는 수년전부터 RBS와 비슷한 원리를 갖고 같은 장비를 이용하여 수행이 가능한 경원소 분석법인 TOF-ERDA(Time of Flight Elastic Recoil detection)을 개발하여 실용화 하였다. 본 연구실에서 보유하고 있는 미국 NEC사의 5SDH 가속기는 최대 가속전압이 1.7MV로 Cl5+ 이온을 사용하는 경우 10 MeV가 최대 가속에너지가 된다. 이런 정도의 에너지 범위에서는 TOF spectrometer의 시간분해능이 아주 높을 필요가 없고 비교적 작은 가속기로도 분석이 가능하며, 수소의 검출효율이 우수하다는 점 등 많은 장점이 있다. 그러나 한편으로는 분석가능한 깊이가 수천 $\AA$ 정도로 제한되고 질량 분해능도 수십 MeV 내지 100MeV 이상의 고에너지 이온빔을 이용하는 경우에 비해 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 또한 묵운 원소의 분석이 불가능하기 때문에 경원소의 분석에 국한하여 적용하고 무거운 원소에 대해서는 RBS를 병용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 일본 이화학연구소의 선형가속기인 RILAC으로부터 얻은 40MeV Ar 이온 및 138 MeV Xe 이온을 이용하여 TOF-ERDA 시스템을 제작하였다. 그러기 위해서 고에너지 이온의 비행시간을 측정하는 목적으로 높은 시간 분해능을 갖는 시간 검출기를 설계, 제작하였다. 또한 표적함 밑에는 회전원판이 있어 시간검출기 및 에너지 검출기가 중앙의 시료홀더를 중심으로 회전이 가능하도록 되었다. 회전은 표적함 밖에서 원격조정 가능하다. 이렇게 함으로써 검출각을 임의로 바꾸면서 측정이 가능하도록 하였다. 제작된 분석시스템의 성능을 확인하기 위해 YBaCuO 초전도 박막을 측정하였으며 그 결과를 그림에 나타낸다. 저 에너지 ERDA에서는 나타나기 힘든 Ba, Y, Cu 등의 무거운 원소의 피크들이 분명히 나타남을 확인할 수 있다.

Also this paper focused on detecting meaningful vibration in the building by developing the earthquake monitoring software. If vector sum of 3-axis acceleration is greater than the preset value, the value will be recorded and saved to the file.

The Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) constructs the rare isotope accelerator facility in South Korea. Since the accelerator control system uses various Ethernet-based devices and equipment, it is essential to build a unified Network-based control system. Because of the complexity of the accelerator facility, it will be a challenge to install a device in a proper location where the device could react quickly and exactly with respect to network security. In this report, we will present early study on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that tests various Ethernet-based devices out on an ideal network configuration in order to find an optimal location for each Ethernet-based device. Moreover, we will discuss future plan to integrate SNMP into Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) that is distributed soft real-time control systems for scientific instruments such as a particle accelerators, telescopes and other large scientific experiments.
