This paper presents a new fast algorithm, rotation-based method (RBM), for the reconstruction of 3 dimensional image for cone beam computerized tomography (CB CT) system. The system used cone beam has less exposure time of radioactivity than fan beam. The Three-Pass Shear Matrices (TPSM) is applied, that has less transcendental functions than the one-pass shear method to decrease a time of calculations in the computer. To evaluate the quality of the 3-D images and the time for the reconstruction of the 3-D images, another 3-D images were reconstructed by the radon transform under the same condition. For the quality of the 3-D images, the images by radon transform was shown little good quality than REM. But for the time for the reconstruction of the 3-D images REM algorithm was 35 times faster than radon transform. This algorithm offered $4{\sim}5$ frames a second. It meant that it will be possible to reconstruct the 3-D dynamic images in real time.

When the pressure tubes(f are in contact with the calandria tube(CT) in the pressurized heavy water reactor(PHWR), the temperature difference between inner and outer wall of W results in a thermal diffusion of hydrogen (deuterium) and hydride blisters are formed on the outer surface of PT. Because the hydride blisters and zirconium matrix are acoustically continuous, it is not easy to distinguish the blisters from the matrix with conventional ultrasonic method. An ultrasonic velocity ratio method was developed to detect small hydride blisters on the zirconium pressure tube. Hydride blisters were grown in the PT specimen using a steady state thermal diffusion device. The flight times of longitudinal echo and reflected shear echo from the outer surface were measured accurately. The velocity ratio of the longitudinal wave to the shear wave was calculated and displayed using contour plot. Compared to the conventional flight time method of longitudinal wave, the velocity ratio method shows superior sensitivity to detect smaller blisters as well as better images for the blister shapes. Detectable limit of the outer shape of the hydride blisters was conservatively estimated as $500{\mu}m$, with the same specifications of ultrasonic transducer used in the actual PHWR pressure tube inspection.

Using the ultrasonic interferometry on the single crystal MgO-periclase, adiabatic bulk moduli were determined to be 163.2 GPa and 162.6 GPa from (100) and (110) lattice plane measurements, respectively. Density was measured on polycrystalline MgO by the X-ray diffraction technique. Results from this study were compared with the previously reported values. Further, the present results were converted to the isothermal bulk moduli and, then compared with the published data available including the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction result which was performed on the same single crystal MgO. The principle and techniques ultrasonic interferometry were introduced too.

In this paper, dynamic response of a truss bridge due to constantly moving train loads is analysed. Dynamic response of the bridge is found by the mode superposition method with the solution of the eigenvalue problem by Householder transformation and QL algorithm. To prove the validity of the analysis procedure, the response due to a very slowly moving load is compared with the result from the static analysis program, and the dynamic response is also compared with the result from the direct integration method. Based upon this, the variation of dynamic amplification factors is investigated by changing the train types and speeds, and the result is compared with the code specified impact factor. From this study, it was known that the dynamic amplification factor is not quite different by train types in low speeds but in high speeds it is, and in the case of electric car and U. I. C. loads the factor could exceed the code specified impact factor depending upon the speed.

Rock bolts and shotcrete play a crucial role as a main support system in the underground space. Thus, the safety of the underground space may be affected by the defect of rock bolts. In order to evaluate the rock bolt integrity by using non-destructive technique, the transmission method of the guided ultrasonic waves, which are generated by using the piezo disk elements has been successfully performed. The energy generated by the piezo disk elements, however, is not enough for the rock bolts in the field. In addition, the piezo disk elements should be installed at the end of the steel bar during construction of the rock bolts. The purpose of this study is the devolvement of the reflection method, which may generate enough energy, and the application in the field rock bolts. Both laboratory and field tests are carried out. The guided ultrasonic waves with high energy are generated by the hammer impact with the center punch, and the AE sensor is used to measure the reflected guided waves. The received guided waves are analyzed by the wavelet transform. The peak value of the wavelet transform produces the energy velocity, which is used for the evaluation of the rock bolt integrity. The energy velocity increases with an increase in the defect ratio in both laboratory and field rock bolts. This study demonstrates that the hammer-impact reflection method may be a suitable method for the evaluation of the rock bolt in the field.

Four seismic reflection horizons in 3-D seismic data, coherence derived from the seismic data, and 38 well logs from the Boonsville Gas Filed in Texas were tried to be integrated and visualized in 3 dimensions. Time surface was constructed from pick times of the reflection horizons. Average velocities to each horizon at 38 well locations were calculated based on depth markers from the well logs and time picks from the 3-D seismic data. The time surface was transformed to depth surface through velocity interpolation. Coherence was calculated on the 3-D seismic data by semblance method. Spatial distribution of the coherence is captured easily in 3-D visualization. Comparing to a time-slice of seismic data, distinctive stratigraphic features could be correctly recognized on the 3-D visualization.

실내 바닥슬래브의 휨진동에 의한 음향방사문제에 대하여 유한요소법을 적용하여 검토하였다. 단순한 형상의 판이 휨진동하여 자유공간에 음을 방사하는 문제에 대해서는 이론적인 해를 구할 수 있으나, 임의형상의 판이 휨진동하여 실내에 음을 방사하는 문제에 대해서는 검토되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와같은 문제를 단순화한 해석법으로서 먼저 유한요소법을 이용하여 판의 휨진동에 대한 고유모드의 상대변위를 구하고, 다음 상대변위를 진동속도로 변환한 결과를 입력조건으로 하여 유한요소법에 의한 3차원 음장해석을 하였다. 그 결과 실내 바닥슬래브의 휨진동에 의한 음향방사파워는 슬래브의 진동모드, 실내음향모드 및 벽흡음율 등의 조건에 따라 크게 변화된다는 것을 확인하였다.

편미분 방정식의 형태로 나타나는 많은 전자기장 문제들을 유한요소법이나 유한차분법 등의 수치해석적 방법으로 해결하려는 경우 시스템 행렬을 구성하게 된다. 이때 해석영역의 요소수가 많을수록 행렬의 조건수(condition number)는 다항식(polynomial) 증가를 갖게 되며, 이는 풀어야 할 선형시스템에서 반복 연산 과정의 속도를 떨어뜨리는 결과를 야기한다. 이러한 결과를 wavelet을 기저 함수로 쓰게 되면, 더 높은 분해능(resolution)의 해를 유한 요소법이나 유한 차분법에서와 같은 요소 분할 과정이 없이 Mallat 변환이라는 간단한 과정을 통해 구할 수 있으며, 본 논문에서는 Daubechies의 wavelet 함수를 기저 함수로 사용하여 전자기장 문제에 적용함으로서 수치해석에 있어서 wavelet 함수의 적용이 많은 장점을 갖고 있음을 보인다.

연료전지용 전력변환 시스템에서 기존의 PID 제어기의 해석적인 해를 얻는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 최근, UPS용 CVCF 시스템에서 오차 공간 접근법을 이용한 새로운 제어알고리즘을 바탕으로 시스템의 제어기의 제어상수를 해석적으로 접근하여 좋은 성능을 얻은 바 있다. 오차 공간 접근법은 해석적으로 시스템의 응답속도 및 오버슈트를 임의의 제한범위 내로 설계할 수 있도록 하는 제어할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 UPS 시스템의 제어기 설계방법을 유사한 구조의 연료전지의 인버터 제어기 설계에 적용하여 해석적으로 제어기의 제어상수를 얻고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제어기가 안정하며 빠른 응답속도를 가지는 것을 확인한다.

Since PTV (particle tracking velocimetry) provides velocity vectors by tracking each particle in a fluid flow, it has significant benefits when used for nano- and bio-fluid flows. However, PTV has only been used for limited flow fields because interpolation data loss is inevitable in PTV in principle. In this paper, a hybrid particle image velocimetry (PIV) algorithm that eliminates interpolation data loss was constructed by using an affine transformation. For the evaluation of the performance of the constructed hybrid PIV algorithm, an artificial image test was performed using Green-Taylor vortex data. The constructed algorithm was tested on experimental images of the wake flow (Re = 5,300) of a rectangular body ($6cm\;{\times}3cm$), and was demonstrated to provide excellent results.
