Because of space limitations, interferences between antennas of the KSLV-I communication systems occur and their effects become worse during all sorts of tests such as the flight test using a light plane. In this paper, coupled signal magnitude is calculated using the FDTD method. The theory of the FDTD, absorbing boundary condition, source input technique, and post processing of data are explained. The calculated coupling factor between two IFAs, which have 2 GHz resonance frequency and placed 5 cm apart, is -12.7 dB. Applied coupling calculation method can be effectively used for KSLV-I performance analysis, subsystem design, antenna arrangement, and communication link budget for the next space launch vehicle.

A new meshless method for obtaining natural frequencies of arbitrarily shaped plates with the free boundary condition is introduced in the paper. In order to improve the characteristics of convergence and accuracy of the method, a special local polar coordinates system is devised and located for each of nodes distributed along the boundary of the plate of interest. In addition, a new way of decreasing the size of the system matrix that gives natural frequencies of the plate is employed to reduce the amount of numerical calculations, which is needed for computing the determinant of the system matrix. Finally the excellence of the characteristics of convergence and accuracy of the method is shown in several case studies, which indicate that natural frequencies by the proposed method are very accurate and converged swiftly to exact values as the number of boundary nodes increases.

For quantitative evaluation of geotechnical engineering properties such as rippability and diggability, clear interpretation on the subsurface velocity structures should be preceded by figuring out top soil, weathered and soft rock layers, shape of basement, fracture zones, geologic boundary and etc. from the seismic refraction data. It is very important to set up suitable field parameters, which are the configuration of profile and its length, spacings of geophones and sources and topographic conditions, for increasing field data quality Geophone spacing of 3 to 5m is recommended in the land slope area for house land development and 5 to 10m in the tunnel site. In refraction tomography technique, the number of source points should be more than a half of available channel number of instrument, which can make topographic effect ignorable. Compared with core logging data, it is shown that the velocity range of the soil is less than 700m/s, weathered rock 700${\~}$1,200m/s, soft rock 1,200${\~}$1,800m/s. And the upper limit of P-wave velocity for rippability is estimated 1,200 to 1,800m/s in land slope area of gneiss. In case of tunnel site, it is recommended in tunnel design and construction to consider that tunnel is in contact with soft rock layer where three lineaments intersecting each other are recognized from the results of the other survey.

In this paper, the vortex-induced vibration of circular cylinders is studied using the immersed boundary method on the Cartesian mesh. The Reynolds numbers considered is from 100 to 200. Using the configuration of tendemly arranged multiple circular cylinders, the vortex shedding behind of the cylinders and their flow-induced motion are investigated. The staggered MAC grid arrangement, which is the typical grid system for the incompressible flow on the Cartesian meshes, is utilized. Pressure correction method is applied for solving the divergence-free incompressible velocity field. The body motion is described by immersed boundary technique that has advantages for moving object on the fixed computational domain. It is also discussed for the computational noise in hydrodynamic forces when body motion is represented by the immersed boundary method. The Predictor/Corrector method is used for simulating the nonlinear response of the elastically mounted cylinder excited by vortex-shedding.

Longitudinal static stability and steady aerodynamic characteristics of wings flying over nonplanar ground surfaces (rail and channel) are investigated using the boundary-element method. For a channel with it's fence higher than the wing height, the lift and the nose-down pitching moment increase as the gap between the wingtip and the fence decreases. For a rail with it's width wider than the wing span, the lift and the nose-down pitching moment increase as the rail height decreases. Longitudinal static stability of a single wing flying over nonplanar surfaces is worse than the case of the flat ground. In case of tandem wings, longitudinal static stability of the wings flying over the channel is better than the case of the flat ground. It is believed that the present results can be applied to the conceptual design of high-speed ground transporters.

In EIT, various image reconstruction algorithms have been used in order to compute the internal resistivity distribution of the unknown object with its electric potential data at the boundary. Mathematically the EIT image reconstruction algorithm is a nonlinear ill-posed inverse problem. In this paper, a SPSA approach is proposed for the solution of the EIT image reconstruction. Results of numerical experiments of EIT solved by the SPSA approach are presented and compared to that obtained by the modified Newton-Raphson(mNR) method.

In this study, a framework for optimizing the opening in an outrigger wall is proposed. To solve a constrained bounded optimization problem, an in-house finite element program and SQP algorithm in Python SciPy library are utilized. The openings of the outrigger wall are located according to the strut-tie behavior of the outrigger wall deep beam. A linear interpolation method is used to obtain differentiable continuous functions required for optimization, whereas a database is used for the efficiency of the optimization program. By comparing the result of the two-variable optimization through the moving path of the search algorithm, it is confirmed that the algorithm efficiently determines the optimized result. When the size of each opening is set to individual variables rather than the same width of all openings, the value of the objective function is minimized to obtain better optimization results. It was confirmed that the optimization time can be effectively reduced when using the database in the optimization process.

This study aims to review a topology optimization based on finite element analysis (FEA) for conceptual design of platform in the 10MW class floating type wave-wind hybrid power generation system (WHPGS). Two topology optimization theories, density method (DM) and homogenization design method (HDM) were used to check which one is more effective for a simplified structural design problem prior to the topology optimization of platform of WHPGS. From the results of the simplified design problem, the HDM was applied to the topology optimization of platform of WHPGS. For the conceptual platform design of WHPGS, FEA model was created and then the structural analysis was performed considering offshore environmental loads at installation site. Hydrodynamics analysis was carried out to calculate pressure on platform and tension forces in mooring lines induced from the offshore environmental loads such as design wave and current. Loading conditions for the structural analysis included the analysis results from the hydrodynamic analysis and the weights of WHPGS. Boundary condition was realized using inertia relief method. The topology optimization of WHPGS platform was performed using the HDM, and then the conceptual arrangement of main structural members was suggested. From the results, it was confirmed that the topology optimization might be a useful tool to design the conceptual arrangement of main structural members for a newly developed offshore structure such as the floating type WHPGS.
