In this study, empirical site amplifications and S-wave velocity profiles for shallow and deep soils are estimated using earthquake ground motion records in metropolitan Manila, the Philippines. We first apply a spectral inversion technique to the earthquake records to estimate effects of source, path, and local site amplification. The earthquake data used were obtained during 36 moderate earthquakes at 10 strong-motion stations of an earthquake observation network in Manila. The estimated Q value of the propagation path is modelled as $54.6f^{1.1}$. Most of the source spectra can be approximated with the omega-square model. The site amplifications show characteristic features according to surface geological conditions. The amplifications at the sites in the coastal lowland and Marikina Valley shows predominant peaks at frequencies from 1 to 5 Hz, while those in the central plateau are characterised by no dominant peaks. These site amplifications are inverted to subsurface S-wave velocity. We, next, discuss the relationship between the amplifications and average S-wave velocity in the top 30m of the S-wave velocity profiles. The amplifications at low frequencies are well correlated with the averaged S-wave velocity. However, high-frequency amplifications cannot be sufficiently explained by the averaged S-wave velocity in the top 30 m. They are correlated more with the average of S-wave velocity over depths less than 30 m.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 차량속도 및 긴장재의 설계에 따른 CFTA 거더의 동적거동 및 동적증폭계수를 분석하였다. 긴장재의 해석변수로서는 긴장재의 양과 긴장력을 고려하였으며 차량하중은 도로교설계기준의 DB-24 하중을 선택하였다. 차량하중은 3축-2트랙에 작용하는 등가절점하중으로 변환하여 속도에 따라 시간함수로 모델링하였다. 긴장재의 양은 외측 �� 내측 덕트의 유무에 따라 변화시켰으며 긴장력은 설계긴장력의 0%에서 100%까지 25%씩 증가시켰다. 차량속도는 40km/hr에서 100km/hr까지 20km/hr씩 증가시켰으며, 해석결과 긴장재의 긴장력 변화는 거더의 동적거동에 영향을 주지 않았으며 초기처짐에만 영향을 주었다. 긴장재의 양에 따라서는 거더의 동적거동이 다르게 나타났으며 긴장재의 양이 적을 수록 동적처짐은 증가하였다. 이를 바탕으로 거더의 동적증폭계수(DAF)를 산출하였으며, 이 결과 긴장재가 없는 경우에도 도로교표준시방서에서 정한 기준 값보다 매우 작은 거동을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 열차와 교량의 상호작용과 주행속도에 의해 결정되어지는 진동지속시간과 차체연직가속도 증폭효과를 고려하여 철도교량의 진동사용성 허용처짐을 제시하고자 하였다. 열차가 교량을 통과할 때의 처짐 형상을 사인파로 가정하고 열차와 교량의 상호작용을 진동전달함수로 표현하여 철도교량의 진동 사용성 허용처짐을 유도하였다. 그리고 진동지속시간을 고려하기 위해 연직가속도 허용기준으로서 진동지속시간을 고려한 교량구조물의 진동사용성기준을 사용하였다. 매개변수연구를 통하여 열차 주행속도의 증가에 비례하여 차체연직가속도는 증가하지만 교량최대변위의 변화는 미미함이 확인됨으로 인하여 차체연직가속도 증가와 동반하여 연직가속도 허용기준역시 증가하는 것을 보정할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 전개된 철도교량의 진동사용성 허용처짐식에 매개변수연구를 통하여 가정한 가속도 증폭계수를 적용하여 열차의 증속에 의한 가속도증폭효과를 고려하였다.

The proposed preamplifier for the static random access memory reduces the time required for the sense amplifier enable during the read operation by 55%, which leads to a significant speed up the total spped. This is attirbuted to the novel circuit techqniue that cancels out the transistor mismatch which is induced by the process variation. In addition, a selective enable circuit for preamplifier circuit is proposed, so the proposed preamplifier is enabled only when it is required. Accordingly the energy overhead is limited below 4.45%.

Site response analyses were performed based on equivalent linear technique using the local geologic and dynamic site characteristics, which include soil profiles, shear wave velocity profiles and depth to bedrock for 125 sites collected in Korean Peninsula. From the results of site response analyses, 2-parameters site classification system based on the combination of mean shear wave velocity of soil and depth to bedrock was newly recommended for regions of shallow bedrock depth in Korea. First, as the borders of bedrock depth (H) for site classification were determined as 10m and 20m, the soil sites were divided into 3 classes as $H_1$, $H_2$ and $H_3$ sites. And then, the 3 site classes were subdivided into 7 classes based on the mean shear wave velocity of soil ($V_{s,soil}$). The feasibility of new site classification system was verified and the representative site coefficients ($F_a$ and $F_v$) and design response spectrum were suggested by analyzing uniform trend and dispersion of site coefficients for each site class. The suggested site coefficients and the regression curves present the nonlinear characteristics of soils according to the change of rock outcrop acceleration with uniform trend effectively. From the comparison between the mean values of response spectrum which was acquired from the site response analysis and the suggested design response spectrum, there was a little difference in some of site classes and it was verified to adjust the integration interval to make it more suitable for the site condition in Korea.

The thickness of permafrost in Eastern Siberia is from 200 to 500 meters. The seasonally frozen layer can vary from 0 to 4m depending on ground temperature and its location. The shear wave velocity varies from 80m/s in summer to 1500m/s in winter depending on soil type. When melted, large impedence will occur due to the difference between the shear wave velocity of seasonally frozen soil and that of permafrost layer. Large displacement may occur at the boundary of the melted and the frozen layer, and this phenomenon should be considered in a seismic design. In this research, one-dimensional equivalent linear analyses were performed to investigate the effects of the seasonally frozen layer on ground amplification characteristics. Soil profiles of Yakutsk and Chara in Eastern Siberia were selected from geotechnical reports. 20 recorded ground motions were used to evaluate the effect of input motions. As the thickness of seasonally frozen layer and the difference in the shear wave velocity increases, the amplification is shown to increase. Peat, very soft organic soil widely distributed throughout Eastern Siberia, is shown to cause significant ground motion amplification. It is therefore recommended to account for its influence on propagated motion.

The critical velocity effect on railway trackbed means the amplification of vibration energy when the train running-speed and group velocity of ground surface wave are superimposed. It is called a pseudo-resonance phenomenon of time domain. In the past, it was not issued because the train speed was low and the ground group velocity was higher. But since the high-speed train is introduced, critical velocity reported causing a track irregularity. So far, theoretical analysis has been performed because of the complexity of formation process. However it requires reasonable consideration which is similar to actual track and trackbed conditions. In the present paper, finite element analysis to verify the critical velocity effect is performed considering each track structure and trackbed supporting stiffness. As a result, the deformation amplification caused by the critical velocity effect is verified to analyze each supporting stiffness and track system.

A mini ball launch system was developed for the study of dynamic fracture of ceramic materials. The principle of velocity multiplication system is similar to two stage gun. The plastic sabot assembly houses steel plunger and the void filled with silicone rubber. The sabot is stopped by the stopper block then the steel plunger inside the sabot compress the silicone rubber to high pressure. Then the compressive energy of the silicone rubber is transferred to the ball. More than ten times of initial speed was attained. In this study, most effective silicone rubber for the highest final speed was chosen out of three different varieties by launch tests.

Erbium 첨가 광섬유를 광원겸 광증폭기로 사용하는 방식으로 개회로 형태의 광섬유 gyroscope를 구성하였다. Erbium 첨가 광섬유를 거쳐 5mW 이상의 gyro 출력광 power와 7nm의 파장선폭을 얻었다. Loop 광섬유로부터 광증폭기형 광원으로의 feedback으로 인하여 회전속도에 따라 scale factor가 변화함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 변조된 gyro 출력신호광의 평균 power가 회전속도에 무관하도록 위상차의 변조진폭을 $\PHI_m=2.405 rad$으로 한 경우에 회전속도와 무관한 일정한 scale factor를 얻을 수 있었다.
