This paper presents design and implementation of infrared thermal image processing system based on the digital media processor for disaster monitoring. The digital thermal image processing board is designed and implemented by using commercial chips such as DM642 processor and video encoder, video decoder. The implemented functions for disaster monitoring are to analyze temperature distribution of a monitoring infrared thermal image and to detect disaster situation such as fire. For the input of infrared thermal image processing system, an infrared camera of type of the $320\;{\times}\;240\;{\mu}$-bolometer is used. The required functions are confirmed with 10 frame/second of processing performance by testing of the prototype and Practicality of the system was verified.

Acoustic design parameters of a half-wave resonator are studied experimentally for acoustic stability in a model chamber. According to the standard acoustic-test procedures, acoustic-pressure signals are measured. Quantitative acoustic properties of damping factor and sound absorption coefficient are evaluated and thereby, the acoustic-damping capacity of the resonator is examined. The diameter and the number of a half-wave resonator, its distribution, and the diameter of an enclosure are selected as the design parameters for optimal tuning of the resonator. Aroustic-damping capacity of the resonator increases with its diameter. When the open-area ratio of the resonator exceeds the optimum value, over-damping appears, leading to the decrease in the peak absorption coefficient and the broadening of absorption bandwidth. As the resonator diameter increases, optimum open-area ratio decreases.

The effect and the overall optimal operation of artificial aeration devices for mixing of thermally stratified water reservoir are under study, and its brief introduction is made. The study site is Yeoncho Lake in Geojae island, which is well known for its eutrophication problems in the summer. A few samplings have been made before and after the operation of two types of artificial aerators, and the effect is believed to be positive. Also, design methodology for such artificial aerators is reviewed and a few are applied to the case of Yeoncho Lake. Schladow's[1993] proposal is believed most proper based on the information we have gathered by now. In addition, a simple numerical experiment is also peformed to see the overall effect of the device on the flow and temperature profile.

Nondestructive testing was carried out in order to evaluate the structural integrity and construction quality of the slurry wall of the underground LNG storage tank. 9 test points were selected, and the wall thickness, rebar spacing, and compressive strength of the slurry wall were evaluated by stress wave impact-resonance method, GPR, sonic velocity, and rebound testing, respectively. As results, the wall thickness, rebar sparing and estimated compressive strength satisfy the design criteria.

This paper presents a case history of a geosynthetics-reinforced segmental retaining wall, which collapsed during a sever rainfall immediately after the completion of the wall construction. In an attempt to identify possible causes for the collapse, a comprehensive investigation was carried out including physical and strength tests on the backfill, stability analyses on the as-built design based on the current design approaches, and slope stability analyses with pore pressure consideration. The investigation revealed that the inappropriate as-built design and the bad-quality backfill were mainly responsible for the collapse. This paper describes the site condition including wall design, details of the results of investigation and finally, lessons learned. Practical significance of the findings from this study is also discussed.

Polyester woven geotextiles to be bonded with nonwovens were manufactured for reinforcement and the allowable strength of these were obtained by the results of creep tests. Long-term design strength were calculated in consideration with factors of safety for design and construction and the long-term behaviors of geogrids were compared to those of composite woven geotextiles to examine the reinforcement function. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that these woven composite geotextiles could have the sufficient performance as an alternative geosynthetics instead of geogrids and the further study will be continue to confirm the possibility of woven composite geotextiles as the excellent reinforcing material.

This paper describes dynamic simulation of the spent fuel storage system which is described by statistical discrete event models. It visualizes flow and queue of system over time, assesses the operational performance of the system acitivies and establishes the system components and streams. It gives information on system organization and operation policy with reference to the design. System was tested and analyzed over a number of critical parameters to establish the optimal system. Workforce schedule and resources with long processing time dominate process. A combination of two workforce shifts a day and two cooling pits gives the optimal solution of storage system. Discrete system simulation is an useful tool to get information on optimal design and operation of the storage system.

일반 항공기의 유형을 고정익기과 회전익기로 구별할 수 있다면, MAV (Micro Air Vehicle)의 경우는 곤충이나 조류들의 날개 짓 (flapping) 비행형태인 ornithopter 형이 추가된다. 1993년 미국 RAND사에 의하여 MAV에 대한 타당성 검토(1)가 시작된 이례로 실로 다양한 실험적 형태의 MAV들이 속속 소개되고 있는 실정이다. MAV는 초소형 무인항공기로 길이는 성인의 손바닥 크기인 2.5 inch 정도이고, 개발비용과 기간이 유인항공기에 비해서는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 적게 소요되며. 동체길이가 2~5m인 일반 무인항공기에 비해서도 상대적으로 유리하다는 장점, 그리고 새로운 소형화 기술들을 평가할 수 있는 매우 훌륭한 시험장치가 될 수 있다는 이유로 항공우주기술 분야는 물론 MEMS나 나노기술 분야에서도 상당한 관심을 갖고 있는 실정이다. MAV의 비행 시뮬레이션 또는 시뮬레이터에 대한 현재까지의 국내외 연구개발 노력(2,3)은 MAV의 기체나 부품기술개발 노력에 비하여 상대적으로 뒤쳐져 있는데, 본 논문은 그 기술적 문제가 무엇인지를 분석하고, MAV비행 시뮬레이터 환경을 통해 수행될 수 있는 효과적인 연구개발 분야는 무엇인지를 조명하고자 한다. 또한, MAV비행 시뮬레이터의 성능 요구사항 도출을 통하여 개념설계를 제시하고, 세종대학교와 (주)모델심이 공동 개발중인 "RC Virtual Flight" 비행 시뮬레이터에 MAV가 어떻게 접목되고 있는지를 소개한다.있는지를 소개한다.

The damping ratio of railway bridge has become one of the most important issues in dynamic design and dynamic stability of railway bridge. In the present study, laboratory and field test were performed for railway bridges such as a twin I-shaped steel composite girder, PSC box, steel box, PSC, IPC, PRECOM, preflex. The damping ratio of railway bridge according to structure types was estimated by logarithmic decrement method. Therefore, magnitude, frequency and amplitude of load did not affect damping ratio of railway bridge. Also, damping ratio limit of steel composite and PSC bridges was evaluated in 1.0%.
