This study suggests three spatial distribution functions of strength parameters, which can be adopted in the derivation of failure conditions for transversely isotropic rocks. All three proposed functions, which are the oblate spheroidal function, the exponential function, and the function based on the directional projection of the strength parameter tensor, consist of two model parameters. With assumption that the cohesion and friction angle can be described by the proposed distribution functions, the transversely isotropic Mohr-Coulomb criterion is formulated and used as a failure condition in the simulation of the conventional triaxial tests. The simulation results confirm that the failure criteria incorporating the proposed distribution functions could reproduce the general trend in the variations of the axial stress at failure and the directions of failure planes with varying inclination of the weankness planes and confining pressure. Among three distribution functions, the function based on the directional projection of the strength parameter tensor yields the highest axial strength, while the axial strength estimated by the oblate spheroidal distribution function is the lowest.

The void distribution in concrete materials strongly affects its material properties. Therefore, the identification of spatial distribution of void is important to understand and estimate material behavior. To examine and quantify the void distribution inside lightweight aggregates, CT(computed tomography) image is used. 3D lightweight aggregate images are generated by stacking of cross-sectional images from CT. Spatial distribution of void of aggregate along the direction is visualized on the sphere using probability distribution function. Stiffness of lightweight aggregate for the directions is also examined. It is confirmed that direction-based probability distribution and stiffness from CT images are effective in characterizing void distributions of aggregates.

Based on the linear potential theory with the side wall reflection. the directional spectrum waves are numerically simulated by a source distribution method and these together with long-crested irregular waves are also generated at the towing tank of Pusan National University by considering the transfer function of the wave maker obtained from the regular waves. In the numerical simulation, the characteristics of the directional spreading function are investigated by changing the breadth of the wave-maker unit. the width of the towing tank and the wave period. In the experimental generation, the statistical properties and the power spectrums of the long-crested irregular and directional waves are compared along the towing tank length. The directional spreading functions are also investigated at various positions in the tank.

This paper presents techniques for estimating directions of multiple sound sources ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $360^{\circ}$ using circular probability distributions having a periodic property. Phase differences containing direction information of sources can be modeled as mixtures of multiple probability distributions and source directions can be estimated by maximizing log-likelihood functions. Although the von Mises distribution is widely used for analyzing this kind of periodic data, we define a new class of circular probability distributions from Gaussian and Laplacian distributions by adopting a modulo operation to have $2{\pi}$-periodicity. Direction estimation with these circular probability distributions is done by implementing corresponding EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithms. Simulation results in various reverberant environments confirm that Laplacian distribution provides better performance than von Mises and Gaussian distributions.

The purpose of this study is to identify the aspect that the traffic distribution function changes, according to the direction of the datum line and the horizontal and vertical positions of the datum point applied when it is calculated. Targeting routes at the entrance of Mokpo Harbor, this study tested using AIS survey data of January 2013 the effects of the three variables-direction of the datum line(${\theta}$), horizontal position($\mathfrak{L}_H$) and vertical position($\mathfrak{L}_V$) on mean ($\bar{x}$) and standard deviation (${\delta}$). The test result showed that $\bar{x}$ and ${\delta}$ were changed according to the change of ${\theta}$, because the extracted sample data were changed according to ${\theta}$; and the changes of $\bar{x}$ and ${\delta}$ according to ${\theta}$ were drawn as the relation of the sine function' sum. In addition, it was found that setting up ${\theta}$ that the change value of ${\delta}$ becomes the least as the direction of the datum line was valid, to determine the optimum passage distribution function on complex waters with multiple branches of route. The result of this study is expected to be used as basic data to understand maritime traffic flow based on more quantified data of normal distribution and make decisions related to maritime traffic safety management.

Electron Energy Distribution Function(EEDF) were treasured In Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma(RFlCP) using a probe rrethocl Measurerrents were conducted in argon discharge for pressure from 10[mTorr] to 4O[mTorr] and input rf power from 100[W] to 600[W] and flow rate from 3[sccm] to 12[sccm]. Spatial distribution of electron energy distribution function were measured for discharge with same aspoct ratio (R/L=2). Electron energy distribution function strongly depended on both pressure and power. Electron energy distribution function increased with increasing flow rate. Radial distribution of the electron energy distribution function were peaked in the plasma center. Normal distribution of the electron energy distribution function were peaked in the center between quartz plate and substrate. From the results, we can find out the generation mechanism of Radio Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma. And these results contribute the application of a simple Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP).a(ICP).

세종 산개성단 탐사관측 연구의 일환으로 중년 산개성단 NGC 2353에 대한 UBVI CCD 측광을 수행하였다. 측광학적인 방법으로 성단 내의 구성원을 선정하였으며, 이로부터 이 성단의 성간소광과 거리를 각각 E(B-V)=$0.10\pm0.02mag$와 $d=1.17\pm0.04\;kpc$으로 얻었다. 성단 구성원의 공간적인 분포를 통해서 성단의 형태가 북서 방향에서 남동 방향을 잇는 축을 중심으로 타원의 형태를 띠고 있는 것을 발견하였다. Padova 그룹이 제시한 이론적인 등연령 곡선을 관측한 색등급도에 맞춤으로써 이 성단의 나이를 1억 3천만년으로 추정하였으며, 이는 기존 연구보다 나이가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 구성원의 거리지수 분포에서 이 성단의 거리지수보다 밝은 곳에 나타나는 쌍성의 분포를 Gaussian 분포와 맞추어 $46\pm4%$ 정도의 최소 쌍성비율을 추정하였다. 마지막으로 광도함수와 질량함수를 유도하였고, 질량함수의 기울기는 $\Gamma=-1.4\pm0.2$를 얻었다.

유역의 폭 함수는 출구를 기준으로 동일한 거리에 위치한 link의 개수로 정의된다. 하천망을 구성하는 기본 성분 중의 하나인 link는 동일한 유역의 경우 유사한 평균길이와 직접배수면적을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이는 폭 함수가 흐름방향 축을 따라 정의되는 지점별 배수면적의 기여도와 동일함을 의미하는 것으로 유역의 형태학적 특성에 따라 조직되는 초기유량분포함수로 해석할 수 있다. 따라서 DEM을 기반으로 원점으로부터 동일한 거리에 위치한 pixel의 수를 계량할 경우 비교적 쉽게 유역의 폭 함수를 유도할 수 있게 된다. 또한 물 입자의 동적특성에 따라 폭 함수의 흐름방향 축을 시간 축으로 재조정할 경우 대상 유역에 대한 수문학적 응답함수로의 변환이 가능해 진다. 본 연구에서는 보청천 시험유역의 탄부수위표 지점을 출구로 하여 DEM으로부터 폭 함수를 작성하고 지면과 하천유속의 차에 따른 운동학적 확산효과만을 고려하여 재조정된 폭 함수를 다음 그림과 같이 유도하여 보았다. Figs 1, 2에서 주목되는 사항은 왜곡도의 반전으로 부왜도의 형태를 갖던 폭 함수가 정왜도의 형태를 갖는 수문학적 응답함수(순간단위도)로 변환되어 가는 과정을 시각적으로 확인할 수 있다. 이는 Mod-Clark 방법에 따른 준분포형 순간단위도의 유도과정과 유사한 것으로 이에 따라 선형저수지의 저류효과는 지면과 하천유속의 차에 따른 운동학적 확산효과와 동일한 거동을 보일 수 있음이 추론된다.

본 논문에서는 3차원 섬유분포를 가정하여 고유동 섬유보강 시멘트 모르타르의 유동에 따른 섬유방향성변화를 해석적으로 파악해 보았다. 유동흐름은 평면상의 2차원 완전발달 전단흐름을 고려하였다. 유동에 따른 섬유의 회전운동은 섬유간의 상호 간섭효과를 무시한 Jeffery의 기본식에 근거하였다. 굳지 않은 섬유혼입 모르타르의 유동에 따른 섬유방향성 분포 변화를 흐름선과 동일 유동거리 상의 단면에 대해 파악하였다. 그 결과, 단면 내 위치에 따라서 섬유방향성 분포 변화가 크게 차이가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 유동거리에 따른 단면상의 섬유방향성 분포는 초기 유동거리에서 분포 형상에 큰 변화가 발생하였고, 유동에 따라 섬유가 유동방향과 나란하게 놓이는 경향이 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 섬유방향성 변화의 예측은 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체의 인장특성에 예측하는데 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

The spatial coherence and propagation property of laser beam propagating through several optical components were studied experimentally by using the measurement of Wigner distribution function. It is shown experimentally that the Wigner function measurement yields total degree of coherence, beam quality parameter, and the near and the far field information of the propagating beam. More complete characterization of the laser beam was achieved by applying the Schmidt mode decomposition to the Wigner distribution function, spatial coherence function and directional coherence function. Fine details of coherence property are understood by the characteristics of the contributing eigenmodes.
