The seismic source parameters of the Odaesan earthquake on 20 January 2007, including focal depth, focal mechanism, magnitude, and source characteristics, are analysed using seismic moment tensor inversion. The Green's function for different 3 crust models representing the southern Korean Peninsula are used. Final results show that the event, considering 6 seismic moment tensor elements, is caused by the typical strike slip fault with nearly NNE strike. The focal depth is estimated to be about 11km and 6 seismic moment tensor elements with 7.2% CLVD value shows typical double couple seismic source. The consistent characteristics of the strike and epicenter of the event with Odaesan fault imply that Odaesan earthquake is mainly caused by movement of the Odaesan fault.

In the attitude and orbit control subsystem design, the moment of inertia of the satellite is the major contributor to be considered. Satellites equipped with large solar arrays need to measure the moment of inertia accurately to avoid the interference of the thruster actuation period with its flexible mode. In this paper, the in-orbit tests of COMS to measure the moment of inertia are described. Then, the differences between the measured through in-orbit test and the predicted are compared. Finally, it is verified that the differences are below uncertainty bounds considered in the critical design of COMS attitude and orbit control subsystem.

Source parameters for forty four earthquakes which occurred in and around the Korean Peninsula were determined and the relations between them were studied. Snoke's method (Snoke, 1987) was applied in determining the corner frequencies and seismic moments. In general, the source parameters estimated at different stations for an earthquake show different values. These disagreements have been interpreted as originating, in principle, from an inadequate consideration of the source radiation pattern and direction dependent attenuation and amplification. The comer frequencies and seismic moments were averaged to exclude the such directional effects. Other source parameters were estimated from the mean corner frequency and seismic moment. The static stress drops, determined in this study, tend to be independent of seismic moment for events greater than a specific magnitude. For earthquakes with a size less than about $1.0{\times}10^{22}$ dyne-cm (nearly same as $M_L = 4.0$), the stress drop tends to decrease with the decreasing moment. This fact suggests a breakdown of the scaling law of source parameters in earthquakes below the threshold magnitude.

Three earthquakes with local magnitude ($M_L$) greater than 3.0 occurred on April 24, June 2 and September 12 in 1999 nearby the Gyeongju area. Redetermined epicenters were located within the radius of 1 km. We carried out waveform inversion analysis to estimate focal mechanism of June 2 event, and P and S wave polarity and their amplitude ratio analysis to estimate focal mechanisms of April 24 and September 12 events. June 2 and September 12 events had similar fault plane solutions each other. The fault plane solution of April 24 event included those of other 2 events, but its distribution range was relatively broad. Focal mechanisms of those events had a strike slip faulting with a small normal component. P-axes of those events were ENE-WSW which were similar to previous studies on the P-axis of the Korean Peninsula. Considering distances between epicenters, similarities of seismic waves and sameness of polarities of seismic data recorded at common seismic stations, these events might occurred at the same fault. The seismic moment of June 2 event was estimated to be $3.9\;{\times}\;10^{14}\;N{\cdot}m$ and this value corresponded to the moment magnitude ($M_W$) 3.7. The moment magnitude estimated by spectral analysis was 3.8, which was similar to that estimated by waveform inversion analysis. The average stress drop was estimated to be 7.5 MPa. Moment magnitudes of April 24 and September 12 events were estimated to be 3.2 and 3.4 by comparing the spectrum of those events recorded at common single seismic station.

RC structure is the composite material system combined concrete and steel showing different plastic behavior. Especially, concrete shows very complex plastic behavior. Therefore, for plastic analysis of RC structures, we have to model carefully each plastic behavior of concrete and steel member. But, because of divergency as well as difficulties and dimensions of modelling, it takes a lot of time and labor or sometimes it is impossible to perform plastic analysis of RC structures. In this study, for simplified plastic analysis of RC structures, we propose material transformation method by homogeneous and isotropic material which have the same plastic property as RC. We generate homogeneous and isotropic material showing the same moment-curvature curves (bi-linear stress-strain relation) as RC members, using bi-linear moment-curvature relation by yielding moment, yielding curvature and ultimate moment, ultimate curvature of RC member. Finally, we prove compatibility in the study by comparing plastic analysis results for various analysis models using transformed material models and RC model.

A study for analysing the characteristics of the 'Tsunami Earthquake' and 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' has been done in terms of stress drop and tectonic characteristics using previous studies on magnitude, moment, energy, and length of fault. The 'Tsunami Earthquake' seemed to occur mainly on the subduction environment with a very low stress drop of about 10 bars and a thrust dip angle comparing those of the 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' or other earthquakes. Released energy to moment ratio of the 'Tsunami Earthquake' also seemed to be lower. Earthquakes which generated tsunami in the East Sea seemed to be 'Tsunamigenic Earthquake' with a stress drop of about 30${\sim}$50 bars, and an average energy to moment ratio. Hence, stress drop, energy to moment ratio, and thrust dip angle seem to be indicators of earthquakes that produce tsunamis.

This paper presents a new technique to reduce a large interconnect circuit with tens of thousands of elements into the one that is small enough to be analyzed by circuit simulators such as SPICE. This technique takes a fundamentally different approach form the conventional methods based on the interconnect circuit structure analysis and several rules based on the Elmore time constant. The time moments are computed form the circuit consisting of the interconnect circuit and the CMOS gate driver model computed by the AWE technique. Then, the equivalent RC circuit is synthesized from those moments. The characteristics of the driving CMOS gate can be reflected with the high degree of accuracy and the size of the compressed circuit is determined by the number of output nodes regardless of the size of the original interconnect circuits. This technique has been implemented in C language, applied to several interconnect circuits driven by a 0.5${\mu}m$ CMOS gate and the equivalent RC circuits with more than 99% reduction ratio and accuracy with 1 ~ 10% error in therms of propagation delays were obtained.

This paper proposes an efficient hybrid fixed-point (FP) algorithm for improving performances of the independent component analysis (ICA) based on neural networks. The proposed algorithm is the FP algorithm based on secant method and momentum for ICA. Secant method is applied to improve the separation performance by simplifying the computation process for estimating the root of objective function, which is to minimize the mutual informations of the independent components. The momentum is applied for high-speed convergence by restraining the oscillation if the process of converging to the optimal solution. It can simultaneously achieve a superior properties of the secant method and the momentum. The proposed algorithm has been applied to the composite fingerprints and the images generated by random mixing matrix in the 8 fingerprints of $256\times{256}$-pixel and the 10 images of $512\times{512}$-pixel, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performances of the separation speed and rate than those using the FP algorithm based on Newton and secant method. Especially, the secant FP algorithm can be solved the separating performances depending on initial points settings and the nonrealistic learning time for separating the large size images by using the Newton FP algorithm.

수문분야에 있어서 빈도해석의 목적은 특정 재현기간에 대한 발생 가능한 수문량의 규모를 파악하는데 있으며, 빈도해석의 정확도는 적합한 확률분포모형의 선택과 매개변수 추정방법에 의존하게 된다. 일반적으로 각 확률분포모형의 특성을 대표하는 매개변수를 추정하기 위해서는 모멘트 방법, 확률가중 모멘트 방법, 최대우도법 등을 이용하게 된다. 모멘트 방법에 의한 매개변수 추정은 해를 구하기 위한 과정이 단순한 반면, 비대칭형의 왜곡된 분포를 갖는 자료들에 대해서는 부정확한 결과를 나타내게 된다. 확률가중 모멘트 방법은 표본의 크기가 작거나 왜곡된 자료일 경우에도 비교적 안정적인 결과를 제공하는 반면, 확률 가중치가 정수로만 제한되는 단점을 갖고 있다. 그리고 대수 우도함수를 이용하여 매개변수를 추정하게 되는 최우도법은 가장 효율적인 매개변수 추정치를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 비선형 연립방정식으로 표현되는 해를 구하기 위해서는 Newton-Raphson 방법을 사용하는 등 절차가 복잡하며, 때로는 수렴이 되지 않아 해룰 구하지 못하는 경우가 발생되게 된다. 이에 반해, 최근의 Genetic Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization 및 Simulated Annealing과 같은 Meta-Heuristic Algorithm들은 복잡합 공학적 최적화 문제 있어서 효율적인 대안으로 주목받고 있으며, Hassanzadeh et al.(2011)에 의해 수문학적 빈도해석을 위한 매개변수 추정에 있어서도 그 적용성이 검증된바 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 연 최대강수 자료의 빈도해석에 적용되는 확률분포모형들의 매개변수 추정을 위해 Meta-Heuristic Algorithm을 적용하고자 함에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 매개변수 추정을 위한 방법으로 Genetic Algorithm 및 Harmony Search를 적용하였고, 그 결과를 최우도법에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. GEV 분포를 이용하여 Simulation Test를 수행한 결과 Genetic Algorithm을 이용하여 추정된 매개변수들은 최우도법에 의한 결과들과 비교적 유사한 분포를 나타내었으나 과도한 계산시간이 요구되는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 Harmony Search를 이용하여 추정된 매개변수들은 최우도법에 의한 결과들과 유사한 분포를 나타내었을 뿐만 아니라 계산시간 또한 매우 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 국내 74개소의 강우관측소 자료와 Gamma, Log-normal, GEV 및 Gumbel 분포를 이용한 실증연구에 있어서도 Harmony Search를 이용한 매개변수 추정은 효율적인 매개 변수 추정치를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.
