Extended end-plate connections(EEPC) are a type of connection applied in Pre-Engineered Building structures comprising beam-column connections of steel structures or tapered members. Extended end-plate connections(EEPC) show different behavioral characteristics owing to the influence of plate thickness, gauge distance of high strength bolt, diameter of high strength bolt frame, and the number of high strength bolts. In the USA and Europe, extended end-plate connections(EEPC) are applied in beam-column connections of steel structures in various forms; however, these are not widely applied in structures in Korea.This can be attributed to the fact that the proposal of design strength types for extended end-plate connections(EEPC), proposal of connection specifications, evaluation of seismic performance, and are not being performed appropriately. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the domestic application of Unstiffened extended endplate connections. To realize this, nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted on a 12-mm thick Unstiffened extended endplate connections.

This study is to investigate a damage estimation of single edge notched tensile specimens as a function of acoustic emission(AE) according to the uni-directionally oriented carbon fiber/epoxy composites, CFRP In fiber reinforced composite materials, AE signals due to several types of failure mechanisms are typically observed. These are due to fiber breakage, fiber pull-out matrix cracking, delamination, and splitting or fiber bundle breaking. And these are usually discriminated on the basis of amplitude distribution, event counts, and energy related parameters. In this case, AE signals were analyzed and classified 3 regions by AE event counts, energy and amplitude for corresponding applied load. Bath-tub curve shows 3 distinct periods during the lifetime of a single-edge-notch(SEN) specimen. The characterization of AE generated from CFRP during SEN tensile test is becoming an useful tool f3r the prediction of damage failure or/and failure mode analysis.

In this study, a segmented model with Upside-Down bathtub shaped failure intensity for a repairable system are proposed under the assumption that the occurrences of the failures of a repairable system follow the Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process. The proposed segmented model is the compound model of S-PLP and LIP (Segmented Power Law Process and Logistic Intensity Process), that fits the separate failure intensity functions on each segment of time interval. The maximum likelihood estimation is used for estimating the parameters of the S-PLP and LIP model. The case study of system A shows that the S-PLP and LIP model fits better than the other models when compared by AICc (Akaike Information Criterion corrected) and MSE (Mean Squared Error). And it also implies that the S-PLP and LIP model can be useful for explaining the failure intensities of similar systems.

The tripod shafts of constant-velocity joint are used in both the trains KTX and KTX-sanchon. It is an important component that connects the motor reduction unit and the axle reduction unit in a power bogie. The tripod shaft not only transmits drive and brake torque in the rotational direction, but also slides in the axial direction. If the drive system is loaded with an excessive torque, the fuse part of the shaft will be fractured firstly to protect the other important components. In this study, a rig was developed for conducting torsion tests on the tripod shaft, which is a type of mechanical fuse. The tripod shafts were subjected to torsional fracture test and torsional fatigue test on the rig. The weak zone of the tripod shaft was identified, and its fatigue life was predicted using finite element analysis (FEA). After analyzing the FEA results, design solutions were proposed to improve the strength and fatigue life of the tripod shaft. Furthermore, the deterioration trend and time for failure of the tripod shaft were verified using the hysteresis loops which had been changed with the advancement of the torsional fatigue test.

An extended end-plate connection displays different behavioral properties and energy dissipation capacity based on the thickness and length of the end-plate comprising the connection in the form of a beam-to-column moment connection, the number and diameter of the high strength bolt, the gauge distance of the high strength bolt, and the size and length of the welds. Such extended end-plate is applied to beam-to-column connections in various geometric forms in the US and European regions. Currently in Korea, however, the extended end-plate beam-to-column connection is not actively applied due to the lack of proper design formulas, the evaluation of the energy dissipation capacity, and the provision of construction guidelines. Accordingly, this study was conducted to provide the basic data for the proposal of a prediction model of energy dissipation capacity by evaluating the energy dissipation capacity of unstiffened extended end-plate connections with relatively thin end plate thicknesses. To achieve this, a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis has been conducted on unstiffened extended end-plate connections, with the thickness of the end plate as the set variable.

Today, a number of CCTV on the highway is to observe the flow of traffics. There have been a number of studies where traffic data (e.g., the speed of vehicles and the amount of traffic on the road) are transferred back to the centralized server so that an appropriate action can be taken. This paper introduces a system that detects the changes of traffic flows caused by an accident or unexpected stopping (i.e., vehicle remains idle) by monitoring each lane separately. The traffic flows of each lane are level spacing curve that shows Wigner distribution for location vector. Applying calogero-moser system and Hamiltonian system, probability equation for each level-spacing curve is derived. The high level of modification of the signal means that the lane is in accident situation. This is different from previous studies in that it does more than looking for the signal from only one lane, now it is able to detect an accident in entire flow of traffic. In process of monitoring traffic flow of each lane, when camera recognizes a shadow of vehicle as a vehicle, it will affect the accident detecting capability. To prevent this from happening, the study introduces how to get rid of such shadow. The system using Basian network method is being compared for capability evaluation of the system of the study. As a result, the system of the study appeared to be better in performance in detecting the modification of traffic flow caused by idle vehicle.

Batteries, which are being used as energy sources in various applications, tend to degrade, and their capacity declines with repeated charging and discharging cycles. A battery is considered to fail when it reaches 80% of its initial capacity. To predict this, prognosis techniques are attracting attention in recent years in the battery community. In this study, a method is proposed for estimating the battery health and predicting its remaining useful life (RUL) based on the slope of the charge voltage curve. During this process, a Bayesian framework is employed to manage various uncertainties, and a Particle Filter (PF) algorithm is applied to estimate the degradation of the model parameters and to predict the RUL in the form of a probability distribution. Two sets of test data-one from the NASA Ames Research Center and another from our own experiment-for an Li-ion battery are used for illustrating this technique. As a result of the study, it is concluded that the slope can be a good indicator of the battery health and PF is a useful tool for the reliable prediction of RUL.

고열부하 환경에 노출되는 핵융합로의 플라즈마 대향부품은 주로 낮은 원자번호 물질-열전도가 좋은 물질-구조체의 순으로 다층 구조를 이루고 있으며, 이들 간의 우수한 접합성은 부품의 성능을 좌우하는 핵심 요소이다. 이러한 플라즈마 대향부품의 건전성을 평가하기 위해서는 고열속의 열부하를 반복적으로 인가하는 시험이 요구되며, 이를 위해 본 연구원에서는 KoHLT-1, 2의 시험시설을 운용하고 있다. 본 시설에서는 열부하원으로서 그라파이터 히터를 사용하며, 히터는 두 개의 시험 대상부품 사이에 설치되고, 히터에 고전류를 인가하여 복사열에 의해 시험 부품에 열부하를 가하게 된다. 고열부하 환경에서 열피로 시험을 위해 히터에 인가되는 전류를 시간에 따라 일정한 패턴으로 반복적으로 ON-OFF 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고열부하시험을 수행함에 있어 고려해야 할 여러 가지 요소에 대해 논의하였다. 우선 인가하는 열유속(heat flux) 값은 일차적으로 시험시설의 최대 출력에 의해 좌우되며, 시험대상물의 운전조건 및 열부하 반복횟수에 의해 결정된다. 열부하 반복횟수는 주어진 열유속 값에 대해 total strain이 파단에 이르는 수준에 의해 결정된다. 열부하를 인가하는 시간은 히터에 전류를 인가했을 때 요구되는 온도로 상승하는 데 걸리는 시간과 시험대상물의 온도가 더 이상 증가하지 않는데 걸리는 시간에 의해 좌우된다. 냉각시간은 길수록 시험대상물의 온도가 냉각수의 온도에 접근하게 되나 너무 길어지면 시험시간이 급격히 증가하게 되므로, 온도 감소 곡선을 검토하여 적절한 시간을 정하게 된다. 열유속 측정은 냉각수의 온도 상승값과 유량으로부터 계산하게 되며, 정확한 측정을 위해서는 열부하를 인가하는 시간이 충분히 길어야 한다. 또한 시험대상 부품에서 열부하가 인가되는 면적을 정확히 정의해야 하며, 냉각관로에 열부하가 인가되어서는 않된다. 또한 시험대상부품을 지지하는 지지구조체를 통한 열손실을 최소화해야 정확한 열유속을 측정할 수 있다. 시험대상부품을 설치할 때 히터와의 간격 또한 결정해야 할 중요한 요소이며, 간격이 좁을수록 최대 열유속 값을 증가시킬 수 있으나, 너무 가까운 경우 히터의 열변형에 의한 접촉 및 아크 방전의 가능성이 있으며, 이 경우 히터와 시험대상부품의 손상을 가져오게 된다. 시험대상물이 국제열핵융합로(ITER)의 일차벽과 같이 베릴륨이 포함되어 있는 경우 방전에 의한 손상은 인체에 유해한 오염의 원인이 될 수 있다. 또한 순간적인 방전은 고가의 고전류전원의 고장을 유발할 수도 있다. 열부하 시험 중 시험대상물의 온도를 정확히 측정하는 것은 필수적이며, 온도 변화 곡선으로부터 시험대상물의 건전성 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 이를 위해 변화를 가장 잘 탐지 할 수 있는 위치에 온도 센서를 설치하는 것이 관건이며, 이는 사전 분석을 통해 알 수 있다.

Sampling inspection methods for quality control have been proposed a lot in the industry. However, the sampling inspection method for reliability, which is a quality over time, has been relatively less presented, and there are not many literatures that are clearly summarized. Therefore, this paper focuses on the reliability conformity test to verify that the reliability evaluation scale value of the target is satisfied during the reliability test. To this end, first, we look at the conditions that both consumers and producers can satisfy in terms of the OC curve and find out what sampling methods satisfy the desired level of producer risk and consumer risk. Next, two methods of the reliability sampling methods such as attribute and variable reliability sampling methods are examined. Specifically, the attribute reliability sampling method is a form of sampling plan where n samples are tested for a certain period of T hours and the lot is accepted if the number of failures is less than or equal to a certain number c. On the other hand, the variable reliability sampling method is a form of sampling plan where the lot is accepted if the reliability evaluation scale such as MTBF satisfies a certain standard. Both sampling plans may also use inspection tables.

Computer Loads can be found in all of modern society. The switching mode power supplies used in personal computers are major sources of harmonic currents. Harmonic currents can cause lots of harmonic problems such as disruption in computer performance. A series resonant filter is very effective in harmonic reduction for personal computer loads. Voltage sags are short duration reductions in rms voltage. The main causes of voltage sags at faults, motor starting, and transformer energizing. Personal computers are another example of devices sensitive to voltage sags. A serious voltage sag at the terminals way lead mis-operation of the equipment. This paper presents an in depth analysis to evaluate the effect of harmonics reduction based on the IEC 61000-3-2 and the effect of voltage sag using ITI curve by applying a series resonant filter for personal computer loads.
