As a gas explosion is the most fatal accident in shipbuilding and offshore plant industries, all safety critical elements on the topside of offshore platforms should retain their integrity against blast pressure. Even though many efforts have been devoted to develop blast-resistant design methods in the offshore engineering field, there still remain several issues needed to be carefully investigated. From a procedure for calculation of explosion design pressure, impulse of a design pressure model having completely positive side only is determined by the absolute area of each obtained transient pressure response through the CFD analysis. The negative pressure phase in a general gas explosion, however, is often quite considerable unlike gaseous detonation or TNT explosion. The main objective of this study is to thoroughly examine the effect of the negative pressure phase on structural behavior. A blast wall for specific FPSO topside is selected to analyze structural response under the blast pressure. Because the blast wall is considered an essential structure for blast-resistant design. Pressure time history data were obtained by explosion simulations using FLACS, and the nonlinear transient finite element analyses were performed using LS-DYNA.

An increase in EGR rate can reduce NOx emissions. On the other hand, an excessive EGR rate is a major cause of incomplete combustion. Precise position control of the EGR valve that is optimized for the operating conditions of the engine should be supported to meet the strict emission regulations. Accordingly, this study performed mathematical modeling and control theory for characteristic analysis of an EGR valve motor. Because it is a step for controlling the position of the EGR valve motor using the Microchip development tool, this study analyzed the characteristics of the motor for each opening and closing section according to the input value of the duty ratio of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).

낙동강 살리기 사업의 결과 낙동강 본류 내에는 총 8개의 다기능 보가 설치된다. 각각의 보는 고정보와 가동보 복합형식의 다기능 보로서 보 상류의 수위가 일정하게 유지되도록 하여 하천 내의 수자원을 확보하는데 그 목적이 있다. 하지만 보의 설치 시 홍수로 인한 수해 발생의 위험이 높아지므로 다기능 보의 건설에 있어 치수안정성은 중요하게 고려해야 할 부분이다. 따라서 각각의 보에서의 치수안정성 확보를 위해서는 낙동강 사업 완료 후 적절한 가동보의 운영이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 치수안정성이 확보되면서도 과도한 방류로 인한 수자원의 손실을 예방할 수 있는 적절한 가동보 운영에 대한 연구를 실시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강 하구둑부터 반변천 합류점까지의 구간을 선정하여 낙동강 살리기 사업 후의 부정류 모형을 구성하고 홍수 모의를 실시하였다. 모형을 구성할 때에 가동보의 운영을 위한 기준은 보 상류의 수위로 선정하였다. 이는 치수안정성 및 하천 내 유량의 증감을 직접적으로 확인할 수 있는 지표가 수위라 판단하였기 때문이다. 따라서 각각의 보에서의 상류 수위를 가동보 운영의 기준으로 설정하여 가동보의 운영 조건을 결정하고 모형을 구성하였다. 가동보의 적절한 운영 기준을 찾기 위해 보 상류 수위의 상승에 따른 가동보의 개방정도를 다양한 조건으로 구성하고 각각의 모형에 동일한 홍수사상을 적용하여 홍수 모의를 실시하였으며 또한, 첨두치가 다른 여러 개의 홍수사상에 대해서도 모를 실시하여 홍수 규모에 따른 결과를 비교하여 가동보 운영의 효과를 분석하였다.

High frequency squeal noise can be generated when a railroad vehicle runs a sharp curved section; this noise causes environmental complaints and excessive wear on the wheel and the railroad track. In this paper, curved squeal noise experiments on a commercial railway were carried out to investigate this phenomenon. The relationship of the squeal noise pressure level, the frequency characteristics, the railway running speed, and the modal behavior of the wheel were investigated. At the same time, the lateral motion of the wheel relative to the rail was captured using a video camera; wheel movement was calculated when the noise was generated. queal noise occurred at the highest level at the inner front wheel; this phenomena is considered to be related to the lateral vibration response characteristics of the wheel. It can be seen that the magnitude of this squeal noise is not directly related to the increase in vehicle speed.

In this paper, we have analyzed a simulation model of Slammer worm propagation process which caused serious disruptions on the Internet in the year of 2003 by using NS-2. Previously we had presented and analyzed Abstract Network to Abstract Network(AN-AN) model being modified from the Detailed Network to Abstract Network(DN-AN) of NS-2. However, packet analysis in AN-AN model had a problem of taking 240 hours to simulate the initial 300 seconds of infection. We have reduced the AN-AN model to save the simulation time and analyzed total 3.5 hours of the network congestions within 107 hours. Moreover, we have derived optimal quarantine rate of 0.0022 considering service outage of network devices caused by the heavy infected traffics, which was not taken into consideration in previous works. As the result of simulation, Although the inbound traffic at the Korean international gateway was back in normal conditions at 4,787 second, due to the revese direction saturation was maintained until 12,600 seconds, the service outage was persisted for 3.5 hours.

Irregular motions of nonlinear dynamic system are the result of an intrinsic characteristics that the system have, and sometimes occur unpredictable large motion. For a ship in a regular seaway, the capsizing occur because of this unexpectable motion. So, from the safety's point of view, nonlinear ship motions should be treated carefully. In this study, stable and unstable regions are investigated firstly under the variation of a control external force. Secondly, we consider the attractors to know how ship motions of the stable region that does not undergo capsizing change. Thirdly, bifurcation diagram is considered to study the range in detail where nonlinear chaotic motions are occurred.

This study analyzed urban greenspace area and vegetation structure by land use types for Kangnam-gu and Junglang-gu in Seoul different in income and building construction date. The study districts had a similar areal distribution of land use types. Residential lands accounted for about 32~37% of total area, natural lands, 19~22%, commercial and industrial lands(including transportation), 13~18%, and institutional lands, 13~17%. Greenspace covered only 20~30% of urban residential and commercial area in which human activities of living concentrate. Canopy stocking level in urban lands (all land uses except natural and agrecultural lands) was about 39% for Kangnam-gu and 50% for Junglang-gu, showing tree planting potential slightly higher in Kangnam-gu than in Junglang-gu. Woody plant cover was approximately 13%, and tree density was 3 trees/100m$^{2}$ forurban lands in both districts. The tree-age structure was largely characterized by young, growing tree population, and species diversity within a diameter class decreases as the diameter classes get larger. Urban lands of both districts had quite a similar species composition of woody plants (similarity indez of 0.70). Income and bulding construction date did not result in significant diference between the two districts in vegetation structure for urban lands. Some strategies were ezplored to solve problems found in the present greenspace structures. They included increase of biomass and greenspace area through minimization of unnecessary impervious surfaces, creation of multilayered and multiaged vegetation structures, and avoidance of intensive tree pruning and relocation of above ground utility lines.

This study confirms reinforcing effect of geosynthetics in the use of soil at higher water contents as a compaction material on compaction tests, field compaction tests, and numerical analysis. To verify a confined effect, a large mold(area ratio of rammer / mold = 0.19) larger than D compaction mold(area ratio of rammer / mold = 0.33) was performed for compaction. It showed that in the D compaction test, dry density were 0.5~0.6% increases and in the compaction test using the large mold, it were 2.4~3.7% increases at high water contents. It shows that when the area of compacted area is large enough, a confined effect could be arising from the reinforcement of geosynthetics even at high water contents. As a result of analyzing of compaction effects according to 'depth(z/B) from compacted surface' in the field, when not reinforced, the compaction state deteriorated due to the over-compaction and the compaction did not work well. However, when reinforcement of geosynthetics, restraint effect by geosynthetics occurs, it is confirmed that the compaction energy is effectively transferred to the compaction layer and the dry density is increased. Also, through the conceptual model of the behavior of geosynthetic and soil layer, the mechanism in the ground due to reinforcement of geosynthetics is presented and it is verified through finite element analysis.

The Gobiobotia naktongensis is a species endemic to Korea, and it has recently been designated as a class I endangered species of freshwater fish. Naeseong Stream, one of the tributaries of the Nakdong River, where the Gobiobotia naktongensis was first discovered, provided an optimal habitat for the Gobiobotia naktongensis in the past with fine sand beds and riffle. Currently, due to the construction of Yeongju Dam and the excessive dredging of river channels by the local government, the riverbed armoring in the downstream area of the dam is undergoing rapid changes, and as a result, the habitat environment of the Gobiobotia naktongensis is deteriorating. In this study, the variations of the habitat suitability of the Gobiobotia naktongensis due to the change in the riverbed grain size of the Naeseong Stream were analyzed based on the WUA (weight usable area) using the physical habitat model, River2D. The study domain is the reach from Seoktap Bridge to Hoeryong Bridge downstream of Yeongju Dam. The change in riverbed grain size was analyzed using D50 acquired in 2010 and 2020, respectively. The substrate grain size of Naeseong Stream in 2020 was thicker than that in 2010, and the riverbed coarsening phenomenon was evident overall. As a result of the River2D analysis, the area in which the Gobiobotia naktongensis could inhabit was only about 0.75% in 2010 compared to the entire area of the flow, and even this decreased to 0.55% in 2020 due to riverbed armoring.
