The differential equations governing free, in-plane vibrations of non-circular arches with the translational (radial and tangential directions) and rotational springs at the ends, including the effects of rotatory inertia, shear deformation and axial deformation, are solved numerically using the corresponding boundary conditions. The lowest four natural frequencies for the parabolic geometry are calculated over a range of non-dimensional system parameters: the arch rise to span length ratio, the slenderness ratio, and the translational and rotational spring parameters.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the free vibration of stepped noncircular arches. Taking into account the effects of axial deformation, rotatory inertia and shear deformation, the governing differential equations are solved numerically for the elliptic and sinusoidal geometries with hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped, and clamped-clamped end constraints. The lowest four natural frequencies are presented as functions of four non-dimensional system parameters: the arch rise to span length ratio, the slenderness ratio, the section ratio, and the discontinuous sector ratio.

To reduce the computational cost required for assembling vessel fragments using surface geometry, this paper proposes a fast axis estimation method. Using circular constraint of pottery and local planar patch assumption, it finds the axis of the symmetry. First, the circular constraint on each cylinder is used. A circular symmetric pot can be thought of unions of many cylinders with different radii. It selects one arbitrary point on the pot fragment surface and searches a path where a circumference exists on that point. The variance of curvature will be calculated along the path and the path with the minimum variance will be selected. The symmetric axis will pass through the center of that circle. Second, the planar patch assumption and profile curve is used. The surface of fragment is divided into small patches and each patch is assumed as plane. The surface normal of each patch will intersects the axis in 3D space since each planar patch faces the center of the pot. A histogram method and minimization of the profile curve error are utilized to find the probability distribution of the axis location. Experimental results demonstrate the improvement in speed and robustness of the algorithms.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes of refractive power when worn soft contact lenses were temporarily removed. Methods: 91 soft contact lens wearers (15 males and 76 females; total 182 eyes) from 17 to 39 years of age (average: $24{\pm}4.8$ years) were participated. Objective and subjective refraction, and corneal radius were measured at 0, 30, 60 and 90 min after lens removal. The changes in refractive power were evaluated between measurements over time. The other parameters such as types of lenses, fitting and wearing conditions were also assessed. Results: Objective refraction, subjective refraction and corneal radius were significantly changed according to measured time (p<0.0001). A moderate myopic shifts was observed at the beginning (30 min after lens removal) and a slight myopic shift at the late of measurement (60 min to 90 min after lens removal). There are no significant differences between lens types, fitting states, wearing time, wearing days and sleeping time in the previous day. However, there was significant interaction in changes for corneal radius between measuring time and lens type (p=0.017), fitting state (p=0.019), and sleeping time prior to the test (p=0.010). Conclusions: Time to reach refractive and corneal radius stability after contact lens removal revealed at least more than 60 min, regardless of types of lenses, fitting and wearing conditions. Therefore, refraction for correction should be performed after waiting for more than that time as possible.

Cursive characters are written on an economical principle to reduce the motion of a pen in the limit of distinction between characters. That is, the pen is not lifted up to move for writing a next stroke, the pen is not moved at all, or connected two strokes chance their shapes to a similar and simple shape which is easy to be written. For these reasons, strokes and korean alphabets are not only easy to be changed, but also difficult to be splitted. In this paper, we propose a curvature stroke modeling method for splitting and matching by using a structural primitive. A curvature stroke is defined as a substroke which does not change its curvanture. Input strokes handwritten in a cursive style are splitted into a sequence of curvature strokes by segmenting the points which change the direction of rotation, which occur a sudden change of direction, and which occur an excessive rotation Each reference of korean alphabets is handwritten in a printed style and is saved as a sequence of curvature strikes which is generated by splitting process. And merging process is used to generate various sequences of curvature strikes for matching. Here, it is also considered that imaginary strokes can be written or omitted. By using a curvature stroke as a unit of recognition, redundant splitting points in input characters are effectively reduced and exact matching is possible by generating a reference curvature stroke, which consists of the parts of adjacent two korean alphasbets, even when the connecting points between korean alphabets are not splitted. The results showed 83.6% as recognition rate of the first candidate and 0.99sec./character (CPU clock:66MHz) as processing time.

의료용 초음파 진단기는 음축 방향 초점거리의 제어를 위해서 각 진동요소의 전기단자에 전기회로를 이용한 가중치를 부가하는 방식을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 단일 PVDF로 구성된 트랜스듀서에 바이몰프 타입의 엑츄에이터를 부가하여 진동요소의 배열이나 전기적 가중치의 부가없이 기계적으로 곡률 반경(R.O.C. : Radius Of Curvature)을 제어하는 방법을 제안하였고, 바이몰프 타입 엑츄에이터에 인가한 전압 변화에 따른 트랜스듀서의 곡률 반경 변화를 측정하여 이에 따른 수중에서의 음장 분포 변화를 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다.

In this paper, three-dimensional analysis of the curved levee was performed according to curvature angle, and radius of curvature to investigate the property of seepage. The hydraulic gradients in the curved parts of levees decreased in the outer levee and increased in the inner levee, compared to the two-dimensional analysis. The smaller the curvature angle and the radius of curvature, the larger the change of the hydraulic gradient, compared to the two-dimensional analysis. The effect of curvature radius on the hydraulic gradient was greater than the curvature angle. As a result of evaluating the piping safety factor for the critical hydraulic gradient, the safety factor was increased by 2~5% in the outer levee and decreased by 4~12% in the inner levee, compared to the two-dimensional analysis. Considering this reduction, if the two-dimensional analysis is performed on the curved part of the levee, and if designed the safety factor for piping is 0.1~0.3 greater than allowable FS=2.0, the safety factor of the curved part is slightly reduced, but there is no difficulty in securing stability.

In this paper, we have analysed the channel loss characteristics of optical fiber due to the changing of radius of curvatures and the number of cable banding, and due to the connection between different modes of fiber to derive revisions of technical regulation for FTTH. The results of test show that all conditions are satisfied the criteria(allowable radius of curvatures, 30mm) with the exception of conditions of 10mm radius in single mode case and show that source of light in multi mode fiber can't be delivered to single mode fiber. henceforth, we should study more intensively on the standards of connection between cables in the different modes.

In this research, a lot of triaxial test results (CID) are analyzed to study the curvature characteristics of failure envelope of sand and parametric relationship between shear strength and state parameter by Been and Jefferies. In the conventional triaxial tests, correction for the change of sectional area of a sample and for membrane influence is essential especially in order to determine critical state (or steady state) condition more correctly. Based on the test results, a model to express the shear strength of fine sand as a function of density and stress level is presented and curvature characteristics of shear failure envelope and parametric relationship between state parameter and shear strength parameters are evaluated.

해상 교통량 증가로 급증하는 선박 사고 위험을 줄이기 위해 안전 운항 관리를 위한 연구가 필수적이다. 최근 SOLAS에서 300톤 이상 급에 대해서는 AIS의 의무 장착이 제정되면서 선박 운항의 안전에 크게 기여하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 AIS의 정적, 동적 데이터를 수집하여 항계내 통항 선박의 궤적의 곡률을 분석하여 불규칙 이동 조종선박의 움직임을 파악하였다. 기존의 과거 누적 데이터의 퍼지이론을 활용한 이상 거동의 선박식별 시스템은 전문가 시스템에 의존하여 항적의 비정상성을 판단하므로 항로의 특성에 따른 실 항해상황을 간과할 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구는 선박 움직임에 대한 궤적의 시간 AIS 정보를 활용하여 항로이탈의 변화율에 해당하는 곡률분석, 항로선으로부터 좌우의 변동을 보다 정확하게 모니터링 할 수 있는 이상 거동 선박을 식별하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구는 VTS 및 VMS의 응용서비스로서 해양사고의 사전예방을 위한 연안 및 항만수로의 효율적인 관리에 기여할 것이다.
