In this present study, in order to update the finite element model considering the boundary conditions, a method has been proposed. The conventional finite element model updating method, updates the finite element model by using the dynamic characteristics (natural frequency, mode shape) which can be estimated from the ambient vibration test. Therefore, prediction of the static response of an actual structure is difficult. Furthermore, accurate estimation of the physical properties is relatively hard. A novel method has been proposed to overcome the limitations of conventional method. Initially, the proposed method estimates the rotational spring constant of a finite element model using the deflection of structure and the rotational displacement of support measurements. The final updated finite element model is constructed by estimating the material properties of the structure using the finite element model with updated rotational spring constant and the dynamic characteristics of the structure. The proposed finite element model updating method is validated through numerical simulation and compared with the conventional finite element model updating method.

In some cases, wooden structures are used for medium-rise buildings. It is therefore necessary to develop and test a new structural system for medium-rise buildings using wooden structures. This study deals with high-performance, laminated, timber-based composite members, which consist of structural laminated timber and H-beam. Simple beam tests were performed to determine the strength, stress distributions, and failure patterns of laminated timber. The main parameters are the insertinglength (1, 1.5, and 2 times the H-beam height) and the epoxy between the top/bottom flange of the H-beam and the top/bottom flange of the laminated timber. The results of the test show that the specimen with an inserting length that is 2 times the H-beam height was characterized by fairly god strength and stiffness.

Beams play an important role to transfer an applied load on the floor into columns. However, if the beams affected by a fire the length will be changed longer or shorter and the structural stability decreased gradually and resulted in structural failure. Therefore, the fire regulation requires that structural beam has to satisfied with a constant fire resistance. The fire resistance conducted by a constant size and boundary condition in an horizontal furnace. But this is not enough to adopt a beam made of high structural steels having various lengths. In this study, in order to suggest structural behaviors of beams made of high structural steels at high temperature, mechanical properties at high temperature and heat stress analysis were used and the surface temperature, expansion, displacement and variance of maximum load according to lengths of the beam were compared with those of SM 400.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of congenital postaxial polydactyly of the foot. Materials and Methods: Three-hundred and forty-seven feet of 288 patients who underwent congenital postaxial polydactyly or polysyndactyly correction were divided into five subtypes according to the radiographic shapes of deformity origins (widened metatarsal head, bifid, fused duplicated, incompletely duplicated, or completely duplicated). MRIs were assessed to determine whether they unrevealed areas were fused or separated. MRI was also used to assess cases with radiographic phalangeal aplasia. Results: Huge variations were noted in MRIs. Fusion or separation at the base or head between original and extra digits were observed, and MRI effectively depicted phalangeal aplastic areas. Conclusion: MRI evaluations of congenital postaxial polydactyly of the foot are useful for determining the anatomical statuses which were not visualized by plain radiography (level of evidence: 3).

We studied 90 patients(179 femoral heads) with avascular necrosis of femoral head, who had been performed X-ray, bone scan and MRI to compare of the findings of AVN on bone scan between each other, retrospectively. The patients were 82 males and 9 females, their mean age was 45 years. Radiographic stages were classified by Steinberg modification, radionuclide stages were classified as followed; stage o(or type 0) : normal, stage 1 : faint ring like uptake around the femoral head, stage 2: intense ring like uptake, stage 3: irregular increased uptake with central photon defect, stage 4 : Intense diffuse increased uptake at femoral head and stage 5 : hip joint deformity with relatively mild increased uptake. The findings of MRI were classified according to extent, location, early or advanced lesion, signal intensity of the lesion and joint effusion. 156(87%) of 179 femoral heads had avascular necrosis, 68(75.5%) of 90 patients had bilateral AVN, 35 femoral heads had early stage and 120 had advanced stage. The detection rate of AVN by X-ray and bone scan were 85% (134), 91.6% (143), respectively. Early AVN with atypical types of bone scan showed larger extent, moderate to large amount of joint effusion, soft tissue hypertrophy within joint, and secondary degenerative changes. Bone scan had relatively high detection rate in the diagnosis of AVN of femoral head, and demonstrated various types depending on the disease stage.

In this study, simple regression and multiple regression analyses were performed to analyze the relationship between breccia and clay content and shear strength in fault cores. The results of the simple regression analysis performed for each rock (andesitic rock, granite, and sedimentary rock) and three levels of normal stress (${\sigma}_n=54$, 108, 162 kPa), reveal that the shear strength is proportional to breccia content and inversely proportional to clay content. Furthermore, as normal stress increases, the shear strength is influenced by the change in component content, correlating more strongly with clay content than with breccia content. In the multiple regression analysis, which considers both breccia and clay content, the shear strength is found to be more sensitive to the change in breccia content than to that of clay. As a result, the most suitable regression model for each rock is proposed by comparing the coefficients of determination ($R^2$) estimated from the simple regression analysis with those from the multiple regression analysis. The proposed models show high coefficients of determination of $R^2=0.624-0.830$.

This paper proposes a method for generating low-level geometric models with retaining salient features during decimation. Our method employs feature extraction technique for extracting feature lines defined via curvature derivatives on the model (we divide features into ridges and valleys). We add the extraction method to simplification technique (Feature Quadric Error Metric) for making coarse model with features. This paper clearly shows that experimental results have better quality and smaller geometric error than previous methods.

첨단 과학 장비를 이용한 시뮬레이션의 결과로 데이터의 정확도 및 정밀도가 향상되어 대용량의 이차원 배열 데이터가 생성되고 있다. 대용량의 이차원 배열 데이터에서 유사 구역 (similar region)을 찾아내는 것은 매우 의미 있는 일이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대용량의 이차원 배열데이터에서 유사 구역을 찾는 단순 방법(naïve method)과 효율적으로 탐색할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 단순 방법과 제안 알고리즘의 시간 복잡도(time complexity)를 분석하고 실험을 통해 제안 방법이 단순 방법보다 더 빠르게 처리함을 보인다.

형태 변환이란 컴퓨터 그래픽스의 중요한 기본 연산중의 하나로, 하나의 그림이나 물체로부터 또 다른 그림이나 물체로 그 모양이 변화하는 과정을 연속적으로 보여주는 연산이다. 일반적으로 이 연산을 두 그림 사이의 대응이 되는 점들을 지정하고 각 점들이 변화하는 과정을 표현하기 위해 필요한 중간 단계를 생성하기 위해서 복잡한 함수를 계산하는 방법을 사용하여왔다. 이러한 방법은 많은 양의 계산이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 수학적인 계산이 아니라 자료구조를 사용한 연산(operation)을 이용하는 새로운 형태 변환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 여기서 제안하는 알고리즘은 2차원 단순 다각형을 그보다 단순한 위상을 갖는 단조 다각형으로 분할하고, 각 단조 다각형을 삼각 분할하여 얻어진 듀얼 트리를 이용하여 형태를 변환하는 알고리즘이다. 사실적인 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 될 수 있는 한 많은 중간 단계를 생성해야 하는데, 기존의 함수 계산이 아닌 트리를 이용한 연산을 함으로써 그 과정을 단순화 할 수 있다는 것이 본 알고리즘의 가장 큰 특징이다.
