In this study, bearings were developed for a high-power propulsion motor operating in inclined operation conditions through a simulation and similitude-experimental methods using commercial rotating machinery dynamics analysis software. The developed journal bearing is electrically insulated and has low thermal conductivity because each part is connected with 2-4 -mm-thick epoxy plates. To realize an appropriate oil thickness, an oil lift system is adopted, and a half separated structure is applied to ensure the feasibility of maintaining very heavy components. This study discusses some of the key design aspects of sleeve bearing design for high-torque and low-speed propulsion motor applications. Furthermore, the conditions of variable slope tests are examined to prevent oil leakage from the bearing lip seal on the test rig.

BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) is a way to control computer by using the human brain waves. As the hardware using brain wave technologies has developed, former expensive and big sized brain wave measuring devices have recently become much smaller and cheaper in their prices, making it possible for the individuals to buy them. This predicts them to be applied in various fields of multimedia industry. This thesis is to give an insight into whether the BCI device can be used as a new gaming device approaching it in a game designing point of view. At first, we propose game play elements that can effectively utilizing the BCI devices and produce a game prototype adopting the BCI device based on such game play elements. Next, we verify it with statistical data analysis to show that the prototype adopting the BCI device gives more clear and efficient controls in its game play than a game of only adopting keyboard & mouse devices. The results will give a guideline for effective game design methodology for making BCI based games.

There are many numerical methods to solve large-scale fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problems. However, these methods require very fine mesh to achieve the reasonable numerical accuracy and stability due to the concentrated and volatile hydrodynamic pressure caused by the liquid sloshing. Consequently, the numerical analysis targeting for the long-period time response with the desired numerical accuracy Is very highly time-consuming. The aim of this paper is to suggest a new method to analyze the hydroelastic behavior of the LNGC containment by using the global-local numerical approach. The reliability of the presented method is firstly examined, and then its efficiency is demonstrated by presenting that the long-period local responses of the LNGC containment are obtained with relatively short CPU time.

According to the Hebei Spirit incident, 12,547kl of crude oil was spilled into the sea and a total of approximately 40,000 households was damaged. Also, eleven cities and counties including "Taean" were designated as a Special Disaster District by government. Large oil pollution incidents cause severe impact on the change of the surrounding environment as well as destruction of the natural environment of damaged areas. This study analyzes the impacts on the surrounding environment of damaged areas caused by Hebei Spirit oil pollution incident, focusing on the largest damaged county called Taean. Survey was performed with items which are changes in population and local economy, effects on public health, social conflicts and etc. The result of analysis can be used as an important factor to forecast the impact on a damaged area in case of future oil pollution incidents and to establish effective policy of government.

The flow characteristics around the stern region of two VLCCs with the same forebody and slightly different afterbody are investigated along with propulsive performance of the ship. The local mean flow measurements and the resistance and self-propulsion tests are carried out in the towing tank for the two VLCC hull forms. The measured results clearly show the formation of bilge vortices and their effect on propulsive efficiency. The comparisons are made for the two VLCC hull forms and the relation between stern framelines and bilge vortex strength is explored. Experimental data can provide a good test case to validate the accuracy of numerical methods and turbulence model of CFD codes for ship flow calculation.

Recently, it is very important to establish and predict a traffic policy for expanding social infra structure like road, because the number of cars is significantly increasing. In this paper, we propose and develop an automated system technology based on vision sensor (CCTV) which can provide an efficient information for the traffic policy establishment and expanding the social infra structure. First, the CCTV image is captured as an input of the developed system. With this image, we propose a scheme for extracting vehicles on the road and classifying small-type, large-type vehicles based on color, motion, and geometric features. Also, we develop a DB (database) system for supplying a whole information of traffic for a specified period. Based on the proposed system, we verify 90.1% of recognition ratio in real-time traffic monitering environment.

Voids in a large rotor are formed in solidification process of a cast ingot. The voids have to be eliminated from the rotor by a forming process, because they would became stress-intensity factors which suddenly fracture the rotor in the operation. Previous studies on void-elimination of a large rotor have mainly focused on finding the process variables affecting the void-closure. But the study on the amount of void closure in a large rotor has been very rare. This study was performed to obtain an equation which predicts the amount of void-closure in a forging process of a large rotor and to evaluate the availability of the void-closure equation through finite element analyses. Firstly, 2D FE analysis was carried out to find effects of time integral of hydrostatic stress and effective strain on void volume rate of a large rotor in the upsetting process for various diameters and shapes of void, and material temperature. From the 2D FE analysis, we found that effective strain was suitable for predicting the void-closure of a large rotor, because there was a constant relationship between void volume rate and effective strain. And a void-closure equation was proposed fur predicting void-closure of a large rotor in the upsetting process. Finally, ken the 3D FE analysis, the proposed void-closure equation was verified to be useful for upsetting and cogging processes.

현재 강변여과수 개발은 수직정 위주로 개발되어졌으나, 수직정을 이용한 취수 방식은 산출량에 대한 한계를 가지고 있어 대용량 취수를 위해서 많은 취수정 착정이 불가피하다. 취수정 증가와 더불어 유지관리상의 문제점을 가지고 있으며 실제 운영에서 문제점이 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 수직정 취수정의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 방사형 집수정을 이용한 강변여과수 개발이 시도 되고 있다. 현재 창원시 대산면 일대에서 국내최초로 방사형집수정을 이용한 강변여과수 개발이 진행되고 있으며, 현재 방사형 취수정 1기가 시공 완료되어 시험 가동 중에 있다. 방사형 집수정에 의한 강변여과수 개발은 대용량 취수를 목적으로 설치되기 때문에 산출량뿐만 아니라 집수정 인근의 수위하강에 특성이 중요한 요소 중에 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 창원시 대산면 일대에서 진행되고 있는 방사형 집수정 설치에 따른 강변여과수 산출시 집수정 인근 수위하강 특성 파악을 위한 모니터링을 목적으로 실시하였다. 수위하강 특성 관측을 위해 양수실험을 위해 대용량 양수펌프 설치, 유량검증을 위한 대형 웨어 설치, 수위변화 측정을 위해 집수정 30m 반경에 8개의 관측정을 착정하여. 디지털 수위측정기를 설치하여 수위하강 특성을 모니터링 하였다. 수위 모니터링 결과 취수정의 수위하강 특성과 유사하게 수평정의 수위하강 경향 나타났으며, 강변에 가까운 수평정의 수위하강은 약 $30\% 감소하였으며, 집수정 양수량에 변화에 따라 민감하게 반응하지 않는 특성을 나타냈다.
