연료전지의 상용화 시점에 이르러 내구성에 대한 기술 확보가 점점 더 부각되고 있다. 현재 연료전지의 내구성을 감소시키는 1차적인 요인은 핵심부품인 촉매, 전해질막, MEA(Membrane & Electrode Assembly) 등에 의한 것이며 2차적인 요인은 운전 시스템 및 환경 등에 의해 결정되어진다. 특히, 연료전지자동차는 이동용, 가정용, 발전용에 비하여 부하변동이 극심한 조건에서 운전되기 때문에 연료전지 시스템의 내구성 확보에 많은 제어기술이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지자동차 운전조건(Driving mode)을 부하변동 기준에 의한 고전류, 중전류, 저전류의 3가지 모드로 분류하였다. 각각의 운전조건에서 일정 cycle마다 성능곡선을 측정하여 10만 cycle 이상의 반복운전을 수행하였으며 측정된 성능곡선을 empirical equation에 적용하여 시간에 따른 overvoltage 인자에 대한 분석을 하였다. 운전시간이 증가함에 따라 고전류 모드의 경우 activation overvoltage 인자 중 current density loss가 증가하여 OCV가 급격히 감소하였으나 내구성은 저전류 모드에 비하여 높게 나타났다. 저전류 모드의 경우 고전류 모드와 상반된 결과를 보였으며 성능감소요인은 activation 및 ohmic overvoltage의 점차적인 증가에 의한 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 실제 사용되고 있는 제습로터의 모델(Model Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ)을 선정하고 제습성능과 회전수 변화에 따른 성능변화의 특성을 파악하여 최적 사용조건을 확인하고자 하였다. 재생온도와 통과풍속이 일정한 조건에서 회전수 변화 및 처리측 및 재생측의 입출구 온습도 조건을 변화시키면서 성능변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 재생온도 140℃, 통과풍속 2m/s에서의 제습성능은 Model별로 성능곡선과 대체로 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였으며, Model Ⅲ의 경우 상대적으로 처리측 출구온도는 높게 나타나고 있어 공기조화용으로 사용할 경우 장비에서의 열부하로 작용할 수 있는 단점은 있으나, 제습성능은 매우 우수하게 나타나고 있음을 확인하였다. 사용회전수가 Model I 의 경우 15RPH, Model Ⅱ는 약 18RPH, Model Ⅲ는 약 22.5RPH이나 실험결과 Model I과 Ⅱ 모두 약 16RPH에서 최고 성능을 보이고 있으며, Model Ⅲ는 약 20RPH에서 성능의 최고점을 나타내고 있었다.

Through lessons in recent earthquakes, the bridge engineering community recognizes the need for new seismic design methodologies based on the inelastic structural performance of RC bridge structures. This study represents results of performance-based fragility analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge. Monte carlo simulation is performed to study nonlinear dynamic responses of RC bridge. Two-parameter log-normal distribution function is used to represent the fragility curves. These two-parameters, referred to as fragility parameters, are estimated by the traditional maximum likelihood procedure, which is treated each event of RC bridge pier damage as a realization of Bernoulli experiment. In order to formulate the fragility curves, five different damage states are described by two practical factors: the displacement and curvature ductility, which are mostly influencing on the seismic behavior of RC bridge piers. Five damage states are quantitatively assessed in terms of these seismic ductilities on the basis of numerous experimental results of RC bridge piers. Thereby, the performance-based fragility curves of RC bridge pier are provided in this paper. This approach can be used in constructing the fragility curves of various bridge structures and be applied to construct the seismic hazard map.

There is a growing interest this paper for ocean sensing where autonomous vehicles can play an essential role in assisting engineers, researchers, and scientists with environmental monitoring and collecting oceanographic data. This study was conducted to develop a rigid sail for the autonomous sailing drone. Our study aims to numerically analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of curvy twin sail and compare it with wing sail. Because racing regulations limit the sail shape, only the two-dimensional geometry (2D) was open for an optimization. Therefore, the first objective was to identify the aerodynamic performance of such curvy twin sails. The secondary objective was to estimate the effect of the sail's spacing and shapes. A viscous Navier-Stokes flow solver was used for the numerical aerodynamic analysis. The 2D aerodynamic investigation is a preliminary evaluation. The results indicated that the curvy twin sail designs have improved lift, drag, and driving force coefficient compared to the wing sails. The spacing between the port and starboard sails of curvy twin sail was an important parameter. The spacing is 0.035 L, 0.07 L, and 0.14 L shows the lift coefficient reduction because of dramatically stall effect, while flow separation is improved with spacing is 0.21 L, 0.28 L, and 0.35 L. Significantly, the spacing 0.28 L shows the maximum high pressure at the lower area and the small low pressure area at leading edges. Therefore, the highest lift was generated.

Active Contour Model(ACM) is an efficient method for segmenting an object. The main shortcoming of ACM is that its result is very dependent on the shape and location of an initial contour. To overcome this shortcoming, a new segmentation algorithm is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm uses B-splines to describe the active contour and applies Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm(GA) as energy minimization techniques. We tried to overcome the initialization problem of traditional ACM and compared the result of ACM using GA and that using SA with 2D synthetic binary images. CT and MR images.

기존 홍수예보에 사용되는 일반적인 절차는 관측되는 강우를 이용하여 유역의 유출량을 계산하고 댐 저수량과 현 상황에서 발생할 수 있는 하천의 수위와 유량을 판단한 뒤 홍수예보 및 경보를 발령한다. 이러한 방법은 모형의 구동에 걸리는 시간으로 인한 의사결정 시간의 단축, 모형의 성능에 의존하는 홍수예측 결과 등의 단점이 존재하며, 관련 전문가가 상주하며 홍수 유무를 판단하고 상황을 전파해야하는 인적 재원이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 분포형 강우-유출모형 기반의 강우강도-지속시간-홍수량(IDQ) 곡선을 활용하여 미계측 유역 홍수예보에 활용하는 기법을 평가하였다. 계측된 유역의 자료를 이용하여 분포형 모형의 검보정을 실시하고 하천의 예경보 홍수량에 준하는 한계강우량을 산정하였다. 이때. 다양한 지속시간의 강우를 적용하였으며 토양함수상태에 따른 IDQ 곡선을 산정하여 발생 가능한 여러 시나리오에 대비할 수 있는 홍수예보 기법을 제시하였다. 주요 홍수예경보지점에 적절한 IDQ 곡선을 보유하게 된다면 비전문가도 신속한 홍수예경보 의사결정이 가능하여 각 지자체와 유관기관에서 손쉽게 활용할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

The KOREAN AIR - R&D Center has developed a solar array for STSAT-2 Flight Model, SaTReC-KAIST, using a fully localized technology and has verified the performance through a launch vibration test, orbit environment test and electrical performance test. The solar array will be launched at NARO Space Center by KSLV-I which is the first Korean launch vehicle, in May 2010. In this paper, a current-voltage curve that shows the power characteristics of solar arrays was derived by applying elements that affects the power performance of STSAT-2's solar arrays to the solar cell equivalent models. The result was compared to LAPSS test results, and accuracy of the solar cell equivalent model and the power performance simulation has been analyzed.

The development of a technique for the real-time sensing of a curve section is very important for active rolling-stocks in order to improve the curving performance. However, conventional methods using expensive track inspection equipment or various complex sensors are not practicable to be applied to commercial vehicles. Therefore, we have proposed a new method to estimate the curve radius of a curve section. This method uses the relative displacements occurring between the body and the bogie when the rolling-stock is running on a curve. To verify the validity of this method, we conducted a vehicle dynamics simulation and test using a real vehicle on a test line. The results confirmed the validity of the proposed method. We expect that this method will be effectively applied in studies of active rolling-stocks to increase the curving performance using active control technology.

The objective of this study is to propose curve fitted equations that can facilitate calculations and improve a practical applicability when the seismic performance of buried pipelines needs to be evaluated. The curve fitted equations are derived based on the evaluation of the dynamic responses of concrete pipe with a boundary condition of fixed-free ends. To study the dynamic response of underground pipe, the numerical analysis program developed in the previous research has been used. The location of maximum strain has been determined through dynamic analyses for a boundary condition of fixed-free ends. Then $wavelength{\lambda}$ of 5-1000(m) and propagation velocity(Vs) of 100-2000(m/s) have been applied at the location of maximum strain and the unit srain curve with the changes of the $wavelength{\lambda}$ and propagation velocity(Vs) has been obtaind. Non-linear least-square regression has been used to develop highly applicable curve fitted equations and various types of exponential regression equations have been checked out. Thus curve fitted equations and necessary coefficients with best results are suggested.

In this study, we propose a new three-node hybrid-mixed curved beam element with the relaxed-equiribrium stress functions for static analysis. The proposed element considering shear deformation is based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle. The stress functions are carefully chosen from three important considerations: (i) all the kinematic deformation modes must be suppressed, and (ii) the spurious constraints must be removed in the limiting behaviors via the field-consistency, and (iii) the relaxed equilibrium conditions could be incorporated because it might be impossible to select the stress functions and parameters to fully satisfy both the equiribrium conditions and the suppression of kinematic deformation modes in the three-node curved beam hybrid-mixed formulation. Numerical examples confirm the superior and stable behavior of the proposed element regardless of slenderness ratio and curvature. Besides, the proposed element shows the outstanding performance in predicting the stress resultant distributions.
