Inverse problem is very interest in the sciences and engineering, in particular for modeling and monitoring applications. By applying inverse problem, it can be widely used to exploration of mineral resources, identification of underground cables and buried pipelines, and diagnostic imaging in medical area. In this paper, we firstly consider 2-dimensional EM scattering problem and present the FDTD method to estimate unknown source. In this case, non-linear CGM technique is used to investigate unknown sources corresponding to measured data obtained from forward problem in near field. The proposed technique for solving the inverse source problem presents a reasonable agreement and can be applied to investigate an internal source signal of embedded security module.

상수관망시스템은 정수장으로부터 각 수요처에 음용수를 공급하기 위한 사회기반시설물이며, 광범위한 지역에 걸쳐 주로 지하에 시설물이 매설되어 있다. 상수관망시스템을 설계하고 운영함에 있어 노후화로 인한 유수율 저하, 갑작스런 수요량의 증가, 관로 파손 등 비정상상황에의 용수공급을 항상 대비하여야 하며, 이를 통한 지속적인 관리와 개량이 필요하다. 상수관망시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 비정상상황들 중 상수관망시스템 내 관로가 파손될 경우, 파손 관로의 보수 혹은 교체를 위해서는 해당 관로의 용수흐름을 일시적으로 차단할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 파손관로와 인접한 밸브를 차폐하게 되며, 이로 인해 용수공급이 중단되는 단수구역이 발생하게 된다. 단수구역은 파손 관로를 차폐함으로써 파손 관로와 함께 용수공급이 차단되는 직접고립지역과 직접고립지역으로 인해 의도치 않게 수원으로부터 물 공급이 차단되는 간접고립지역으로 구분할 수 있다. 따라서, 관 파손에 의한 단수용량을 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 시스템 내 설치된 밸브의 개수와 위치에 따른 직, 간접고립지역(단수구역)을 정확하게 산정할 필요가 있다. Jun and Loganathan(2007)은 단수구역을 직접고립지역과 간접고립지역으로 구분하여 정의하고 각각을 탐색하는 알고리즘을 제시한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 제시한 간접고립지역 탐색 방법의 문제점을 파악하고, 이를 개선한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안 및 검증하였다. 또한, 개선된 알고리즘을 이용하여 상수관망시스템 내 최적 밸브위치를 결정하기 위해 단수용량과 밸브설치비용을 동시에 최소화하는 다목적 최적화 모형을 개발하였으며, 예시 관망을 이용하여 모의를 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다.

The research presents moisture content measuring and calibration method of road pavement, especially asphalt concrete pavement for performance evaluation or remaining life prediction using Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) sensor, CS616 made by campbell INC. Before calibration test of CS616, accomplished a sensor verification tests. Verification test items were covering depth and interference effect of two CS616 sensors, temperature effects between $5^{\circ}C\sim25^{\circ}C$ and compaction ratio effects. Covering depth and interference effects between two CS616 sensors were just small and the effects of temperature and compaction ratio effected a Volumetric Moisture Contents at $\pm6%$ under disregard appeared with the fact that was possible. Also, obtained the calibration equation of the subgrade and subbase course, $R^2$ showed above of all 0.9.

This study was carried out to evaluate the weight loss rates, carbon and nitrogen dynamics of wood stakes following soil amendment treatments (CLB: compound fertilizer + lime + biochar; LB: lime + biochar) in a post-fire restoration area, Ulsan Metropolitan city, southern Korea. Soil amendments in the fire-disturbed area were applied to two-times (Mar. and Jun. 2015, 2016) during the study period. Wood stakes on Mar. 2015 were buried at a top 15cm of mineral soil in two soil amendment and control treatments of Liriodendron tulipifera, Prunus yedoensis, Quercus acutissima, Pinus thunbergii plantations and an unplanted area in the post-fire restoration area. Wood stakes were collected at Oct. 2015, Mar. 2016 and Oct. 2016 to measure weight loss rates, organic carbon and nitrogen concentrations. Weight loss rates of wood stakes were not significantly affected by soil amendment treatments. However, remaining carbon of wood stakes were lowest in the control treatment (43.7%), followed by the CLB (71.3%) and the LB (71.6%) treatments. Remaining nitrogen of wood stakes was less in the control treatment (29.7%) compared with the LB treatment (52.6%). The results indicate that carbon and nitrogen mineralization of wood stakes in post-fire restoration area were delayed by soil amendment treatments.

The asynchronous bistatic sonar needs to estimate direct blast arrival time at a receiver to localize targets, and therefore the direct blast arrival time estimation error could be added to target localization error in comparison with synchronous system. Direct blast especially appears as several peaks at the matched filter output by multipath, thus we compared the first peak detection technique and the maximum peak detection technique of those peaks for direct blast arrival time estimation through sea trial data. The test was performed in a shallow sea with bistatic sonar made up of spatially separated source and line array sensors. Line array sensors obtained the target signal which is generated from the echo repeater. As a result, the first peak detection technique is superior to maximum peak detection technique in direct blast arrival time estimation error. The result of this analysis will be used for further research of target tracking in the asynchronous bistatic sonar.

In this study, the overseas failure frequency data of the high-pressure gas pipeline were investigated to apply QRA of high-pressure gas pipeline. The typical overseas failure frequency data of high-pressure gas pipeline are DOT of United States, EGIG of Europe, and UKOPA of United Kingdom (UK). Comparative analysis of these data was shown that EGIG data was suitable for the situation in Korea. In order to apply QRA of high-pressure gas pipeline, non-linear regression analysis using the failure frequency data in the report of EGIG 8th was performed. In the future, intensive researches are required for the external interference because about 50% of the failure frequency of all incidents is the external interference, and for combining of domestic and overseas data.

In this paper, two types of radar vehicle detectors compatible with currently being used ILD(Inductive Loop Detector) without any modification has been developed. With these vehicle detectors based on FMCW altimeter and Doppler speedometer techniques at 24 GHz, the length and speed of a vehicle can be detected. For signal processing part, we have used DAQ board and programmed with LabView. For compatibility with traffic information network connected with existing ILD's, traffic information has been sent to VDS by using RS-232C standard interface. This development has improved approximately 10% in accuracy in terms of the speed and length information compared with that of the installed ILD in the test field.

DC feeding system is mainly floating but rail potential and leakage current are due to long parallelism between rails and ground, namely rail resistance and rail to ground conductance. Rail potential causes electric shock to human and rail leakage current causes electrolytic corrosion to nearby the buried metals. Therefore the design technologies to reduce, protect and monitor these effects are important in recent DC feeding system. Rail potential and leakage current are analysed based on propagation theory that is utilized. Monitoring and controlling rail leakage current is proposed in order to maintain rail resistance and rail to ground conductance.

본 연구에서는 경기도 설마천 지역에 위치한 독립사면에서 토양수분을 연속측정한 결과를 분석하였다. 관측망의 설계를 통하여 선정한 위치에 탐침을 매설하고 공간적인 분포를 가진 시계열 형태의 데이터를 10cm 깊이에서 수집하였다. 전이함수 모형을 사면에서의 토양수분 전이과정에 대응하고, 이를 실제 측정한 데이터에 의해서 분석한 결과와 비교해 보았다. 전이 함수 모형은 강우 데이터를 입력변수로 하고 토양수분 시계열 데이터를 반응 변수로 하여 전개하였고, 시계열 모형의 전개는 크게 자료전처리, 모형구조의 규명, 모수추정, 모형진단 등의 과정을 통해서 적합한 모형을 도출하였다. 산지 사면에서의 토양수분을 전이함수에 의하여 전개한 모형은 토양수분의 깊이별 변화와 지형적 분포 양상에 따라 특색을 나타내었다. 또한 2003년 가을과 2004년 봄의 전이함수 모형 추정을 통하여 계절별 특성이 나타남을 알 수 있는데, 봄의 토양수분의 분포는 가을의 토양수분에 비하여 큰 변동성과 고차항의 반응양상을 보인다. 본 연구는 전이함수를 이용한 토양수분의 시계열 분석이 사면에서의 토양수분 변동특성을 지형적, 계절적 특성과 연계하여 이해하고 특성화하는 과정의 적절한 도구가 될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

A technique is presented that uses a circular waveguide for the measurement of the bulk shear (S-wave) velocities of unconsolidated, saturated media, with particular application to near surface soils. The technique requires the measurement of the attenuation characteristics of the fundamental torsional mode that propagate along an embedded pipe, from which the acoustic properties of the surrounding medium are inferred. From the dispersion curve analysis, the feasibility of using fundamental torsional mode which is non-dispersive and have constant attenuation over all frequency range is discussed. The principles behind the technique are discussed and the results of an experimental laboratory validation are presented. The experimental data are best fitted for the different depths of wetted sand and the shear velocities are evaluated as a function of depths. Also the characteristics of the reflected signal from the defects are examined and the reflection coefficients are calculated for identifying the relation between defect sizes and the magnitude of the reflected signal.
