An accurate and efficient numerical method for two-dimensional nonlinear radiation problem has been developed. The wave motion due to a moving body is described by the assumption of ideal fluid flow, and the governing Laplace equation can be effectively solved by the higher-order boundary element method with the help of the GMRES (Generalized Minimal RESidual) algorithm. The intersection or corner problem is resolved by utilizing the so-called discontinuous elements. The implicit trapezoidal rule is used in updating solutions at new time steps by considering stability and accuracy. Traveling waves caused by the oscillating body are absorbed downstream by the damping zone technique. It is demonstrated that the present method for time marching and radiation condition works efficiently for nonlinear radiation problem. To avoid the numerical instability enhanced by the local gathering of grid points, the regriding technique is employed so that all the grids on the free surface may be distributed with an equal distance. This makes it possible to reduce time interval and improve numerical stability. Special attention is paid to the local flow around the body during time integration. The nonlinear radiation force is calculated by the "acceleration potential technique". Present results show good agreement with other numerical computations and experiments.

포항 방사광 가속기의 선형 가속기에서는 80-MW 클라이스트론 부하를 구동하기 위하여 최대 펄스 정격출력 200 MW(400kv 500A, 평탄도 4.4 $\mu s$)인 대출력 펄스 트랜스포머가 요구된다. 펄스 트랜스포머는 펄스 전원공급 장치(Modulator)로부터 대출력 부하(Klystron)로 펄스 에너지를 전달하며 임피던스 정합을 시키는 기능을 한다. 모듈레이터의 고전압 출력 펄스에서 RF 에너지를 발생시키는데 사용되는 유효 출력 에너지는 출력 펄스의 평탄부의 에너지에 해당된다. 그러므로, 펄스 트랜스포머는 빠른 상승시간을 가지는 것이 요구된다. 빠른 상승시간을 얻기 위하여 누설자속, 분포용량이 작게 되도록 설계하여야 한다.

High-level radioactive waste (HLW) such as spent fuel is inevitably produced when nuclear power plants are operated. A geological repository has been considered as one of the most adequate options for the disposal of HLW, and it will be constructed in host rock at a depth of 500~1,000 meters below ground level with the concept of an engineered barrier system (EBS) and a natural barrier system. The compacted bentonite buffer is one of the most important components of the EBS. As the compacted bentonite buffer is located between disposal canisters with spent fuel and the host rock, it can restrain the release of radionuclides and protect canisters from the inflow of groundwater. Because of inflow of groundwater into the compacted bentonite buffer, it is essential to investigate soil-water characteristic curves (SWCC) of the compacted bentonite buffer in order to evaluate the entire safety performance of the EBS. Therefore, this paper conducted laboratory experiments to analyze the SWCC for a Korean Ca-type compacted bentonite buffer considering dry density, confined or unconfined condition, and drying or wetting path. There was no significant difference of SWCC considering dry density under unconfined condition. Furthermore, it was found that there was higher water suction in unconfined condition that in confined condition, and higher water suction during drying path than during wetting path.

In this paper, the effect of the gap in the ground plane on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) is analyzed quantitatively. Because of a lot of advantages compared to other numerical techniques, the FDTD (finite difference time domain) is applied to the EMI effect modeling. The analyzed model is the simplified PCB (printed circuit board) which has a microstrip and ground plane. The inductance induced by the gap is modeled and calculated by gridding the whole PCB based on the FDTD algorithm. When external cables are attached to the PCB, the common-mode current is induced along the attached cable and the resulting electric field strength is calculated and presented along with the FCC and CISPR EMI limits. The results show that the radiated field strength highly depends on the size of the ground plane gap. The numerical simulation results can be used as a reference in the practical PCB design with the ground plane gap.

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes), listed as a Class I endangered species by the Ministry of Environment of Korea, has been considered to be extinct in South Korea since the 1980s, and an intensive restoration project has been underway in Sobaeksan national park. This study was carried out to develop a suitable model for the red fox reintroduction program based on Population viability analysis (PVA) by using the VORTEX program. If 10 animals (5 females and 5 males) were continuously released into the initial zero population every year for 10 years, population growth rate and extinction probability over the next 50 years after the introduction of the population were $0.018{\pm}0.204$ and 0.354, respectively; the maximum population size was 116.34 at the 16th year after the first release, and a reduction rate of 1.22 every year from the 17th year was inferred. We found that additional releases would be needed from the 17th year after the initial release to maintain a positive growth rate and to prevent the extinction of the released red foxes, and releasing more than 12 individuals every year would be needed for the long-term, continuous existence of red foxes. By contrast, if fewer than 6 red fox individuals were released the extinction probability over the next 50 years was more than 80%. To maintain the minimum population growth rate, the release of more than 8 individuals were needed for positive population growth. The population growth rate was more stable when 10 animals in the change of their sex rate every year from the set value were released as the female-to- male sex ratio of 6:4 rather than 1:1. However, if the female-biased sex ratio was increased by more than 7:3, a negative population growth was expected. The occurrence rate of roadkill and poaching are important factors in the red fox restoration project. The extinction probability was decreased to 30% if each factor was decreased to 3% based on the standard baseline; however, if each factor was increased to more than 3%, an extinction rate of about 90% was reached over the next 50 years.

We have prepared PP/Ba-ferrite composite fabrics by a melt-blown spinning method and investigated the relationship between the properties of PP/Ba-ferrite composite fabrics and melt-blown processing factors. A PP composite containing Ba-ferrite as a magnetic particulate filler was prepared in the form of pellet from PP resin and Ba-ferrite powder by melt compounding using a single extruder. Screw turning force (rpm), DCD (die-to-collector distance), and Ba-ferrite content were changed. We measured diameters of fiber, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties for the composited PP fabrics. The elongation was increased and a fiber diameter and tensile strength were decreased as the spinning distance increased or screw turning force decreased. The crystallinity was increased with increasing spinning distance according to XRD. It was assumed that the orientation of crystalline domain in the neat PP without ferrite was increased by drawing in mechanical direction, however, the orientation in the PP composite was decreased according to XRD analysis. We measured a magnetic property of PP nonwoven fabric containing Ba-ferrite powder. A coercive force, maximum magnetization, and residual magnetization are reduced with the spinning distance. According to the result of TGA measurement, the heat resistance was increased with the Ba-ferrite powder content and with decreasing the spinning distance.

본 논문에서는 유도전동기 고장진단을 위하여 계층적인 하이브리드 뉴럴네트웍을 제안하였다. 시스템의 입출력 데이터에 근거하여 패턴을 분류하고자 할 때 직접적인 분류가 어렵거나 성능이 좋지 않을 경우 적절한 방법을 통하여 변환을 하거나 또는 패턴 분류기의 특성에 맞도록 변환하여 패턴 분류 성능을 향상하는 등 단계별 변환 및 분류 기법을 이용하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 실험에 의해 측정된 전류값을 주기별로 주성분분석(PCA) 기법을 이용하여 입력차원을 축소한 후 이를 조건부 FCM으로 방사기저함수의 초기치를 최적화하여 학습을 하였다. 이는 주성분분석이 가지는 특성을 이용하여 데이터의 특징을 나누었으며 이를 뉴럴네트웍의 학습 기능을 이용하여 모델의 최종 성능을 개선하는 것이다. 각각의 알고리즘이 가지는 특징을 활용하면서도 단점을 계층적으로 보안하여 유도 전동기 고장 진단 성능을 개선하였다. 이를 실제 계측된 유도전동기 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 방법의 유용성을 보이고자 한다.

Analogous problem for a gear dynamics where helical gears excite logitudinal forces in the shaft is studied. These shaft forces excite the supporting gear housing through bearing, causing structural vibration. In this study, shaft is modeled as a rod, and bearing is modeled by a massless spring. A simple model for gear housing is a clamped circular plate. To model this force transmission, the transfer functions from the shaft to a clamped circular plate are analytically derived by using the spectral method and four-pole parameter. Finally, radiated noise is computed, using the acoustic relations due to plate surface vibration.

75mA/$cm^{2}$ 이하에서는 Zn 석출물이 수지상으로 성장되지 않고 Ga 표면에 균일하게 전착되었으나, 85mA/$cm^{2}$ 이상에서는 수지상으로 성장하였다. 액체 Ga 표면에서 수지상 종자(seed)가 생성된 후에 그 종자를 중심으로 나뭇가지 모양으로 성장하였는데, 특히, bath stirrer와 가까운 영역에서 가장 빠르게 성장하였다. 또한, 수지상은 결합력이 매우 약하여 stirrer 에 의해 쉽게 파쇄됨을 확인하였다.
