Design of a vegetation type sound barrier was presented as a noise barrier on the boundary of neighborhood facilities including schools, and apartments. The suggested noise barrier is made of unit blocks that are to be formed by stacking over the wall structure containing the plant and soils in the blocks. The advantage of the vegetation noise barrier is to acquire not only sound absorptive effects of plants and soils, but also sound diffusive effect caused by the irregular surface of the barrier which could eventually mitigate the noise. First, the optimum size of the units to obtain the highest noise reduction was investigated using 1/10 scaled model experiment, and sound attenuation experiments were carried out using a 1/2 mock-up model which is 2 m high and 5 m long. Total 1,137 unit blocks were made of synthetic woods with the size of $10{\times}10{\times}9cm$. These unit blocks were installed on the both side of the 1/2 mock-up steel framed noise barrier. As a result, it was revealed that the block typed vegetation noise barrier has 7 dB higher insertion loss in comparison with the general plane noise barrier. Also, it was found that the appropriate size of unit blocks is $20{\times}20cm$ which has large effect of sound insertion loss.

The sol to gel transition of aqueous solution of block copolymers consisting of methoxy poly (ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and biodegradable polyesters such as $\varepsilon$-caprolactone and L-lactide was investigated as a function of temperature. MPEG-PCL was prepared by ring opening polymerization of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone in the presence of HClㆍEt$_2$O as monomer activator at room temperature. Also, MPEG-PLLA was prepared by ring opening polymerization of L-lactide in the presence of stannous octoate at 115$^{\circ}C$. The properties of block copolymers were investigated by $^1$H-NMR, IR, and GPC as well as the observation of thermo sensitive phase transition in aqueous solution. As the hydrophobic block length increased, the sol to gel transition temperature increased and curve of that steepen to lower concentration. To confirm the gel formation at body temperature, we observed the formation of gel in the mice body after injection of 20 wt% aqueous solution of each block copolymer. After surging, we investigated the gelation in mice. The results obtained in this study confirmed the feasibility as biomaterials of injectable implantation for controlled release of drug and protein delivery.

In this study, an experimental study on storage media for thermal energy storage system was conducted. For thermal energy storage medium, concrete has excellent thermal and mechanical properties and also has various advantages due to its low cost. In addition, the ultra-high strength concrete reinforced by steel fibers exhibits excellent durability against exposure to high temperatures due to its high toughness and high strength characteristics. Moreover, the high thermal conductivity of steel fibers has an advantageous effect on heat storage and heat dissipation. Therefore, to investigate the temperature distribution characteristics of ultra-high-strength concrete, concrete blocks were fabricated and a heating test was performed by applying high-temperature thermal cycles. The heat transfer pipe was buried in the center of the concrete block for heat transfer by heat fluid flow. In order to explore the temperature distribution characteristics according to different shapes of the heat transfer pipe, a round pipe and a longitudinal fin pipe were used. The temperature distribution at the differnent thermal cycles were analyzed, and the thermal energy and the cumulated thermal energy over time were calculated and analyzed for comparison based on test results.

절리가 발달한 암반의 거동평가를 위한 해석적 방법은 연속체 모델과 불연속체 모델을 사용하는 방법으로 대별할 수 있으며, 연속체 모델을 사용할 경우에는 유한요소법이나 유한차분법을 이용하는 방법이 주종을 이루고 있다. 불연속체 모델은 개별 블록들의 움직임을 일일이 계산하므로 매우 매력적인 방법이지만 현재의 지반조사 기술수준으로는 지반내의 절리발달사항을 정확히 파악하기가 매우 어려우며, 컴퓨터의 계산용량이 너무 과다해지는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 불연속면을 포함한 암반을 연속체로 가정한 편재절리 모델(ubiquitous joint model)을 이용한 연구가 요구된다. 한편, 터널의 경우는 사면의 경우와는 달리 파괴면의 형상을 사전에 가정하기 어렵기 때문에 한계평형법에 기초한 해석법 등을 적용하여 안전율을 구하기가 곤란하다. 이러한 이유에서 터널을 대상으로 한 수치해석은 안전율을 구하기보다는 안정성을 평가하는 데만 제한적으로 사용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 편재절리모델을 이용한 절리암반터널의 거동 평가기법과 수치해석에 의해 터널의 안전율을 구하는 방법을 제시하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 터널의 안전율 구하는 방법을 강도감소기법에 근거하여 제시하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient predictive image-compression technique based on vector quantization of blocks of pels. In the proposed method edge contents of blocks control the selection of predictors and block shapes as well. The maximum number of bits assigned to quantizers has been in creased to 3bits/pel from 1/5bits/pel, the setting employed by forerunners in predictive vector quantization of images. This increase prevents the saturation in SNR observed in their results in high bit rates. The variable block shape is instrumental in eh reconstruction of edges. The adaptive procedure is controlled by means of he standard deviation ofp rediction errors generated by a default predictor; the standard deviation address a decision table which can be set up beforehand. eh proposed method is characterized by overall improvements in image quality over A-VQ-PE and A-DCT VQ, both of which are known for their efficient use of vector quantizers.

Line Disparity Map[1]은 스테레오 영역기반 정합방법에서 블록단위의 영역이 아닌 라인의 기울기를 바탕으로 비교하기 때문에 실시간 스테레오 정합이 가능하다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 Line Disparity Map 알고리즘을 사용하여 단순히 관찰로만 사용되어 지는 입체현미경에 스테레오 비전을 기반으로 하는 3D 형상계측 시스템을 개발하여 사람이 손으로 측정하기 힘든 미세의 오브젝트를 측정하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

The flow characteristics of 2-valve and 4-valve cylinder heads with various blocked-valve were experimentally investigated in a steady flow rig. Effects of the blocked-valve configurations on flow coefficient, swirl and tumble intensity are studied. Compared to the conventional valve, the blocked valve in both cylinder heads have the much lower flow coefficient and the much higher intensity of swirl and tumble. Under the same size of blockage, the value of flow coefficient and swirl(or tumble) intensity were varied according to the position of blockage. Throughout these steady flow test the optimized positions of blockage in both cylinder heads were determined.

A reliable computational solver has been developed for the analysis of three-dimensional inviscid compressible flows around a nacelle of a high bypass ratio turbofan engine, The numerical algorithm is based on the modified Godunov scheme to allow the second order accuracy for space variables, while keeping the monotone features. Two step time integration is used not only to remove time step limitation but also to provide the second order accuracy in a time variable. The multi-block approach is employed to calculate the complex flow field, using an algebraic, conformal, and elliptic method. The exact solution of Riemann problem is used to define boundary conditions. The accuracy of the developed solver is validated by comparing its results around the isolated nacelle in the cruise flight regime with the solution obtained using a commercial code "RAMPANT. "

모듈 형 터빈 다이아프람은, 아우터 링(outer ring), 스팀 패스(steam path)와 이너 웹(inner web)의 원형 형상을 갖는 세 부분을 조립하여 원주 방향의 용접 조인트를 형성하는 기존의 다이아프람 형태가 아니라, 아우터 슈라우드(outer shroud), 베인(vane)과 이너 슈라우드(inner shroud)의 세 부분이 하나의 모듈을 이루고 이러한 모듈을 원주 방향으로 조립하여 방사 방향의 조인트를 형성한다. 전자빔 용접은 이와 같은 방사 방향의 조인트를 수직으로 가로지르는 용접 궤적을 따라 진행되며, 용접 패스에 따라 형성되는 용융 비드의 단면적만큼 인접하는 두 모듈을 접합시킨다. 이 경우 용융 비드의 단면적과 형상은 두 모듈의 결합 강도를 결정하는 중요한 요소가 되어, 제작 시 다이아프람의 크기와 두께에 따라 용입 깊이와 평균 단면 비드 폭을 규정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 용입 깊이와 단면 비드 폭의 요구 조건을 만족하면서 결함이 없는 건전한 용접부를 얻을 수 있는 최적 용접 조건을 도출하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 플레이트 시편과 모듈 시편을 사용한 기초 실험과 유사 시제품(semi-mockup) 실험을 실시하였다. 플레이트 기초 실험을 통해 전자빔 주요 변수인 빔 전류, 초점 위치, 용접 속도, 빔 진동 폭 변화에 따른 용융 비드 형상 변화를 관찰하였고, 빔 전류가 용입 깊이에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 인자임을 확인하여 요구 용입 깊이 별 적정 빔 전류 값을 설정하였다. 용접 속도는 생산성 측면에서 균열이 발생하지 않는 범위에서 가능하면 가장 큰 값을 사용하였고, 빔 진동 폭은 초점 위치와 함께 단면 비드 형상 결정에 많은 영향을 주는 인자로 확인되어 균열이 없는 가장 이상적인 단면 비드 형상인 완만한 쐐기 형태가 되도록 설정하였다. 이 후 실제 제품 폭과 용접 패스를 갖는 블록 모듈 실험을 통해 설정 용접 변수의 적용성과 균열 발생 여부를 확인하였고, 이 때 적용 제품 폭이 30 mm 이하이며 요구 용입 깊이가 50 mm 이상의 경우에서 비드 중앙부 균열이 발생함을 관찰하였다. 따라서 해당 영역의 제품에는 균열 저항성이 높도록 용접 속도와 빔 진동 폭을 줄여 최적 용접 변수를 새롭게 설정하였으며, 이를 유사 시제품 실험에 적용하여 최종적으로 용접 변수 안정성을 검증하였다. 이러한 실험을 통해 확인된 최적 용접 조건을 실 제품 제작에 적용하여 모듈 형 터빈 다이아프람 전자빔 용접 제작을 성공적으로 완료할 수 있었다.

In this study, a two-dimensional hydraulic model test was conducted to examine the hydraulic phenomena that occur around the seawall when wave and wind coexist. Based on recent seawall repair and reinforcement examples, the experimental section was constructed under the condition of installing wave dissipation blocks on the safety surface of four different representative seawalls. Water level fluctuation, reflection, overtopping and wave pressure characteristics according to external force change were reviewed. It was confirmed that the top concrete shape of the seawall is the most important factor of the hydraulic characteristics that appear in front of the seawall, and the tendency is more pronounced when wind acts. Even in the case of vertical type seawall, when wind of 3 m/s~5 m/s occurs, the amount of overtopping increases to about 5%~12%. In the case of wave pressure, it was confirmed from the experimental results that the value increased from about 1.5 to 2.2 times in front of the top of concrete block. In addition, it was confirmed that when the shape of the seawall was different, the range of change in the hydraulic characteristics appeared larger. Therefore, when designing a seawall of a new shape, a more detailed review of the hydraulic characteristics should be accompanied based on these experimental results.
