Railways are one of the safest and most important transportation systems in the world. On the other hand, due to the increasing complexity of the railway system and the running distance of rail vehicles, railway accidents occur continuously every year. In particular, in the case of high-speed trains and freight trains, if the function of the axle bearing is lost due to abnormal overheating of the axle box bearing, the load on the axle becomes uneven. Therefore, abnormal overheating in the train axle box bearings can cause serious accidents or derailments. For this purpose, a Hot Box Detector (HBD) was installed in the track side of a high speed line to detect abnormal overheating. This paper proposes an EWMA technique-based axle temperature monitoring method to detect abnormal overheating quickly and efficiently. A statistical design of the proposed method was also performed. The proposed method has better performance compared to the current method in the case of abnormal overheating and the performance is improved by approximately 170% at the maximum.

최근 온실가스의 배출량이 급격히 증가하였고, 지구온난화로 인해 전 세계적으로 홍수, 가뭄, 태풍 등 이상기후로 인한 극한 수문 현상들의 변화가 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 수공구조물의 설계에 있어 적절한 확률강우량의 추정은 매우 중요한 과정 중의 하나이다. 확률강우량의 추정은 일반적으로 확보된 강우자료를 지속시간별로 연최대자료를 추출하여 빈도해석을 통해 산정하게 된다. 그러나 기후변화의 영향으로 집중호우와 잦은 홍수로 인한 피해가 증가함에따라 과거 강우자료를 바탕으로 확률강우강도를 활용하여 확률강우량을 추정하는 것이 매우 어려워졌다. 따라서, 이번 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오 중 하나인 RCP 시나리오를 활용하며, 우리나라 온실가스 저감정책을 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 보고되는 RCP 4.5시나리오와 RCP 8.5 시나리오를 선정하여 1975년도부터 2020년도까지의 모의자료와 2021년도부터 2100년도까지의 미래강우량 자료를 통해 강원지역을 대상으로 비정상성 GEV 모형을 활용하여 지역빈도해석을 수행하고 미래 설계강우량 산정을 위한 비정상성 IDF 곡선을 유도하여 분석하고자 한다.

최근 인간의 인위적인 활동으로 인하여 대기 중 온실가스의 배출량이 급격히 증가하였고, 이에 따라 전 세계적인 지구온난화로 인한 이상기후가 발생하고 있다. 특히, 홍수, 가뭄, 태풍 등 극한 수문 현상들의 변화가 두드러지게 나타나고 있으며, 강우 특성의 변화는 극한 수문 현상의 직접적인 요인으로 작용한다. 현재 확률강우량을 추정하는 가장 보편적인 방법은 과거 강우 자료를 바탕으로 빈도해석을 수행하고 있으며, 지속기간별로 산정한 확률강우량은 강우강도-지속기간-빈도(Intensity-Duration-Frequency, IDF)곡선으로 유도하여 수공구조물 설계에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 기후변화의 영향으로 집중호우와 잦은 홍수로 인한 피해가 증가함에 따라 과거 강우자료를 바탕으로 확률강우강도를 활용하여 확률 강우량을 추정하는 것이 매우 어려워졌다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 1975년도부터 2020년도까지의 현재기간 모의자료, 2021년도부터 2100년도까지의 미래 강우자료와 기후변화 시나리오인 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5를 활용한다. 또한, 부산지역을 대상으로 비정상성 GEV 모형을 활용하여 지역빈도해석을 수행하였고, 미래 설계강우량 산정을 위한 비정상성 IDF곡선을 유도하여 분석하고자 한다.

In this paper, the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with energy equation were solved to find out the optimal location of electrical heat trace for anti-freeze of water inside the pipe for fire protection. Since the conduction equation of pipe was coupled with the natural convection of water, the analysis of conjugate heat transfer was conducted. A commercial code (ANSYS-FLUENT) based on SIMPLE-type algorithm was used for investigating the unsteady flows and temperature distributions in water region. From the numerical experiments, the isotherms and the vector fields in water region were obtained. Furthermore, it was found that the lowest part of the pipe cross-section was an optimal position of electrical heat trace assuming the constant thermal expansion coefficient of water since the minimum temperature of the water with the position is higher than those with the other positions.

There is monitored amount operation variables and controlled by operating conditions and loads at many facilities using gas also chemical plants. The process fault which can be indicated by operators, is occurred when the abnormal state was accumulated continuously owing to physical failure, external disturbance or human error. This is studied a Early Warning System which is to estimate process status by real-time monitoring operation variables and to early warning before it will be occurred process fault.

Unsteady numerical analysis of an entire supersonic propulsion system from intake to nozzle was performed to study dynamic interaction between terminal shock in the intake and flame in the combustor. Both acceleration and cruise flight-modes were considered. Acoustic mode of the entire engine for both flight-modes were investigated by detail analysis of pressure fluctuation at each location of engine.

A numerical study on two-dimensional unsteady transonic cascade flow has been performed by adopting dual time stepping and the k-.omega. turbulence model. An explicit 4 stage Runge-Kutta scheme for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and an implicit Gauss-Seidel iteration scheme for the k-.omega. turbulence model are proposed for fictitious time stepping. This mixed time stepping scheme ensures the stability of numerical computation and exhibits a good convergence property with less computation time. Typical steady-state convergence accelerating schemes such as local time stepping, residual smoothing and multigrid combined with dual time stepping shows good convergence properties. Numerical results are presented for unsteady laminar flow past a cylinder and turbulent shock buffeting problem for bicircular arc cascade flow is discussed.

Endocrine disruptors have been reported to adversely affect reproduction and embryonic development in wild animals. One of the major abnormalities observed during early embryonic development is cellular fragmentation. In this study, we exposed mouse preimplantation embryos to PCB, BPA and DDT in vivo or in vitro. Embryos exposed to endocrine disrupter showed a variety of morphological abnormalities such as fragmentation, irregular blastomeres and cracked empty zonae pellucidae. To investigate the levels of gene expression related which genes contribute to apoptosis in preimplantation mouse embryos, we carried out the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to assess mRNA levels far apoptotic gene. Bcl-2, bad and bax expression levels were compared between control group and endocrine disrupter treated group. Expression level of bcl-2 gene tended to be lower in the treated group than control while expression levels of bad and bax genes were higher in the treated group. Results of this study may provide a useful tool for rapidly screening developmental toxicants in preimplantation embryos exposed to endocrine disruptors in vivo or in vitro.

An unsteady numerical combustion analysis was performed to investigate the combustion characteristics of A Dual Combustion Ramjet(DCR) engine using a gas generator. According to a variance of the equivalence ratio of the gas generator, the flow pattern in the combustor was analyzed. A typical acoustic frequency in the combustor was observed by detail analysis of pressure fluctuation at each location of the combustor.

In this paper, we analyzed the function elements of the Integrated meter reading system based on PLC which is working in Mok-dong, Seoul and studied how to improve the vulnerability. Also we propose an efficient method for the estimation of abnormal life status through frequency domain processing of utility meter readings. We found out that even after removing the high-frequency components from the raw meter data, the shape of the graph still maintains the original graph characteristics. The graph of the inverse transformed data has simpler and smoother curve than the original graph pattern. The original graph is not good to be used in deciding whether the residence's life pattern is normal or not. We could find out that the graph which is processed frequency signal has simple and intuitive graph pattern.
