In order to apply FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor as one of reliable sensors in the commercial railway structure, the reliability of FBG sensor in the mechanical strength viewpoint have to be confirmed and the maximum strain should surpass the fracture strain of the host structure to measure the measurands until the host structures fail. In this paper, several factors that influence the mechanical failure strength of fiber Bragg grating sensors were analyzed. A set-up for dynamic tensile testing of optical glass fibers with fiber Bragg gratings was made. To increase the FBG failure strength, techniques relying on the H2 loading treatment and stripping methods were established and testified as a result of the tensile strength test of optical fibers.

With ever more popularity of video web-publishing, popular content is being compressed, reformatted and modified, resulting in excessive content duplication. Such overlapped data can cause problem of search speed and rate of searching. However, duplicated data on other site can provide alternatives while specific site cause problem. This paper proposes the efficient method, for retrieving. similar video data in large database. In this research we have used the method to compare summarized video image instead of the raw video data, and detected similar videos through clustering in that dimension feature vector through PCA(principle component analysis). We show that our proposed method is efficient and accurate through our experiment.

The finite element method is one of the most widely used method of structural analysis that has wide applications in diverse fields of engineering and science. The method has been proven effective and reliable in many practical problems. One of the reasons for the methods' popularity is its ease of use, but still the user has to input the finite element mesh which affects the accuracy of the results. The knowledge required to form an effective mesh for a given problem is somewhat complex and for sometime there has been research effort to automate the generation of the mesh and this is called the adaptive mesh generation scheme. A good adaptive mesh scheme seemed to require an accurate assessment of error and generally this requires some additional computation. This paper looks into the possibility of generating adaptive meshes based on representative strain values in each finite element method. The proposed adaptive scheme does not require additional computations other that looking up the data values already computed as finite element analysis results and simple manipulations of these data. Two plane stress problems, a plate with a hole and a deep beam with a concentrated load at the end are considered to show the progress of the improved generation of adaptive meshes using the scheme.

In this study, analysis results described in the companion paper was used to determine shapes of room-and-pillar underground structure. To select optimized shapes, structural stability, space applicability and vehicle applicability were considered. In the structural stability step, ratio between strength and stress of the pillar and the critical strain at the roof span were adopted. The space applicability was used to retain the sufficient space of underground structure as its purpose is for human activity. The vehicle applicability was used to consider a radius for rotation of construction equipments in the room-and-pillar underground structure. From the given procedure in this study, proper shapes of rock pillar and room can be selected to design supports at the pillar and roof.

최근에 유연한 성질을 갖는 전자기기들의 수요가 증가하면서, 그에 따라서 유연 전자기기를 뒷받침 해줄 수 있는 에너지 저장체의 유연한 성질도 중요성이 점점 부각되고 있으며 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 유연한 에너지 저장체의 많은 연구들이 유연한 금속 박막이나 특수 공정처리가 필요한 고분자를 이용하고 있으나, 대부분의 유연 에너지 소자들은 에너지 저장체의 성능에 비해 고온과 산 약품과 같은 환경이 필요하며, 비용과 시간이 많이 소모되고 있다. 그에 반해 섬유는 앞에서와 같이 특수 공정 처리가 따로 필요하지 않으며 상온에서도 손 쉽게 이용 가능하며, 신축성이 뛰어난 장점이 있기 때문에 효율적, 비용적으로 유연한 에너지 저장체에 유리한 소재이다. 몸에 해로운 산과 같은 약품처리의 필요도 없으며, 용매를 흡수하는 능력이 뛰어나기 때문에 용매를 이용한 도포 방법을 사용하면 다양한 물질을 폭넓게 적용 가능하다. 그리고 적용 분야에 맞춰서 섬유의 종류를 조절하면 다양한 성질을 갖는 천 기반의 에너지 저장체가 형성되며, 면 섬유가 수소 결합과 높은 반데르 발스 결합에 의해 탄소나노튜브와 결합하여 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖는 에너지 저장체를 형성하는 것을 분석한 논문들도 보고되고 있다. 면 섬유의 특수한 성질을 이용하여 에너지 저장체를 제작하고 이를 확인하기 위해서 일반 합성 섬유인 polyester와 면 섬유를 비교 제작하였으며, 용매의 형태로 손쉽게 도포 가능한 물질은 탄소 계열의 활물질들이며, 탄소 나노 튜브나 그래핀 등이 분산된 용액을 이용해 천에 도포 가능하다. 탄소 계열의 활물질들은 대표적인 슈퍼캐패시터 물질이며, 천에 도포를 함으로써 천 기반의 슈퍼캐패시터를 제작하였다. 일반 합성 섬유 polyester와 CNT를 결합한 형태의 전극은 최대 에너지 축전 용량(Maximum specific capacitance)이 53.6 F/g으로 나타났으며, 면 섬유와 CNT를 결합한 형태의 전극은 최대 에너지 축전 용량이 122.1 F/g으로 나타났다. 따라서 면 섬유에서 높은 에너지 저장 능력을 보이는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였으며, 에너지 저장 능력이 뛰어난 면 섬유를 다음 전극 디자인에서도 일률적으로 적용하였다. 슈도캐패시터의 대표적 물질인 금속 산화물인 망간 산화물(MnO2)을 3전극 도금 시스템을 이용하여 에너지 축전 용량과 에너지 밀도를 올리는 전극을 제작하였다. 특히 망간 산화물의 형태는 표면적을 극대화하기 위해서 평균 지름은 200~300 nm 정도 되는 나노 입자의 형태로 제작하였다. 그 결과, 확연하게 에너지 축전 용량이 향상되었으며, 최대 에너지 축전 용량은 282.0 F/g, 에너지전력 밀도는 14.2 Wh/kg으로 나타나서 금속 산화물의 형태가 주는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 나노 입자의 형태로 제작된 금속 산화물은 문제점이 발생하였다. 금속 산화물의 전기 전도성이 매우 낮기 때문에, 전기 전도성에 비례해서 전력 밀도의 값이 표현되는데, 전기 전도성이 급격히 감소하기 때문에 전력 밀도도 급격한 감소가 나타난다. 다음과 같이 전기 전도성 물질을 첨가하는 방법은 추가의 공정이 필요한 단점이 있지만 오직 기계적인 인장응력만을 가해서 에너지 밀도와 전력 밀도를 증가시키는 전극을 제작하였다. 인장응력을 섬유 기반의 전극에 가했을 시에 가닥들간의 접촉 증가와 CNT가 정렬되면서 특정 변형률(strain) 이전에서는 전기 전도성이 최대 50% 이상 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 선행 연구에서 보고되었다. 이를 이용해서 전기 전도성과 직결되는 전력 밀도의 양도 증가시키고 에너지 밀도의 증가 여부까지 확인한 결과 인장을 가하기 전 면 섬유의 전력 밀도와 에너지 밀도는 6.4 kW/kg and 6.1 Wh/kg으로 나타났으나 30% 변형 인장 후에는11.4 kW/kg과 7.1 Wh/kg으로 나타났다. 그리고 망간 산화물을 첨가한 전극 역시 4.9 kW/kg과 14.2 Wh/kg으로 나타났었으나 인장 이후 전력 밀도는 14.2 kW/kg, 에너지 밀도는 17.6 Wh/kg으로 확연하게 증가한 것을 확인하였다.

The use of the bearing capacity equation is subjected to several uncertainties. In this study, estimation of the bearing capacity of footings based on the cone resistance q$_{c}$ is investigated. Non-linear finite element analyses based on a state-dependent stress-strain model were performed to obtain the load-settlement responses of axially loaded circular footings. Various soil and footing conditions, including different relative densities, depths of embedment, and footing diameters were considered in the analyses. Based on the finite element results, load-settlement curves were obtained and used to determine the unit limit bearing capacity in terms of the cone resistance q$_{c}$ for footings subjected to surcharge. Values of the unit bearing capacity for different embedment depths were in a narrow range, while considerable variation was observed with relative density D$_{R}$. It was observed that the unit limit bearing capacity normalized with respect to q$_{c}$ decreases as D$_{R}$ increases for a given surcharge.

Firstly, triaxial tests were pe sites prepared by the laborato scrutinized the characteristics results were analysed and the p evaluated. Finally, the predicted Even though the origins of slight difference in the angle of pression line( A) : both soils show In the effective mean normal uniqueness of the Normal Compr The relationships between the the decomposed granite soil tier OCR is larger than 2, the stress stress(MDS) or. even thous moved below the theoretical Ros was found to coincide with the (NC) soils, the pore pressure parameter, A,, increased up to 1.3. This phenomenon might be mainly due to the effect of the particle crushing during shearing, When the OCR value approaches 7, the negative pore pressure is developed in undrained tests and the dilatancy is observed in drained tests. The predicted and the observed behavior of drained tests showed relatively good fitting with the Cam-Clay model.

As the limit state design method is applied as a method of designing concrete structures, the ultimate state is considered in the analysis or design. In fact, when the reinforced concrete member bears tensile force, the force is transmitted from the rebar to the concrete, and the structure bears the tensile force to the ultimate state even after yield. Therefore, the accurate evaluation of behavior after yield, it is necessary to study the tension stiffening effect after yield of the flexural member. In this study, a 4-point bending test was conducted on the RC simple beam having a rectangular cross section of the double reinforcement, and the behavior of the member was analyzed in detail using the image analysis method. Using the analysis results, the estimation formula for the tension stiffening effect after yield was proposed, and the applicability of this was verified through the experimental results of existing study. The difference between the ultimate strain and the yield strain representing the ductile behavior of the member is similar to the experimental results. The prediction of the proposed formula is relatively accurate.

This study is to develope the resilient modulus prediction model, which is the function of mean effective principal stress and axial strain, for three types of railroad trackbed materials such as crushed stone, weathered granite soil, and crushed-rock soil mixture. The model consists of the maximum Young's modulus and nonlinear values for higher strain, analogous to dynamic shear modulus. The maximum value is modeled by model parameters, $A_E$ and the power of mean effective principal stress, $n_E$. The nonlinear portion is represented by modified hyperbolic model, with the model parameters of reference strain, ${\varepsilon}_r$ and curvature coefficient, a. To assess the performance of the prediction models proposed herein, the elastic response of a test trackbed near PyeongTaek, Korea, was evaluated using a 3-D elastic multilayer computer program (GEOTRACK). The results were compared with measured elastic vertical displacement during the passages of freight and passenger trains at two locations, whose sub-ballasts were crushed stone and weathered granite soil, respectively. The calculated vertical displacements of the sub-ballasts are within the order of 0.6mm, and agree well with measured values. The prediction models are thus concluded to work properly in the preliminary investigation.

In this study, the data used for the models were a set of 56 geologic estimates of long-term fault slip rates. The hest models were those in which mantle drag was convergent on the Transverse Ranges in the San Andreas fault system, and faults had a low friction (${\mu}$= 0.3). It is clearly important to decide whether these cases of low strength are local anomalies or whether they are representative. Furthermore, it would be helpful to determine fault strength in as many tectonic settings as possible. Analysis of data was considered by unsuspected sources of pore pressure, or even to question the relevance of the friction law. To contribute to the solution of this problem, three attempts were tried to apply finite element method that would permit computational experiments with different hypothesized fault rheologies. The computed model has an assumed rheology and plate tectonic boundary conditions, and produces predictions of present surface velocity, strain rate, and stress. The results of model will be acceptably close to reality in its predictions of mean fault slip rates, stress directions and geodetic data. This study suggests some implications of the thermoelastic characteristics to interpret the relationship with very low strength of San Andreas fault system.
