Dynamic fracture mechanism of rock is important to improve rapid excavation method and develop precise damage assesment of rock mass in the vicinity of an excavation. In order to investigate dynamic fracture characteristics and dynamic damage mechanism of brittle materials, this study employed pulse shape-controlled Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) system. The P- and S-wave velocities of the tested samples were measured before and after tests to examine damage of the samples. The decay ratios of the Ultrasonic wave velocities increased with impart velocities and the samples which have lower strength showed higher permanent strain significantly.

Investigation for rock joints, inspection for rock core, and laboratory tests for rock specimens, in this study, have been performed for identification of the extent and properties of Excavation Damaged Zone in a underground limestone mine, which plans to enlarge the size of openings to improve the production rate. Properties of EDZ and surrounding rock masses have been used numerically for discontinuum analysis, and it is concluded that the effect of EDZ can be increased with increasing the opening size and a blasting pattern of high precision can be suggested for the counterplan.

This paper includes new nozzle design, basic design factors of water mist system that minimize a thermal damage of cable causing business interruption and applying underground utility tunnel. A underground concrete structure (2.5 m(H)$\times$2.5 m(W)$\times$25 m(D)) is constructed in order to test a nozzle performance. Under the designing fire scenario, critical thermal damage of cable sheath ($400^{\circ}c$) reached within a 2 minutes with unsuppressed fire, but type 1 nozzle (SMD 470 $\mu{m}$) and type 2 nozzle (SMD 650 $\mu{m}$) control cable temperature below $400^{\circ}c$. A system performance and fundamental design factors; K factor, flow rate, spray angle, size distribution, nozzle pressure, spray density are analyzed and proposed for system optimization.

본 논문에서는 E-bike 구동을 위한 Boost 컨버터의 배터리 전류 제한 기법에 관해 제안한다. Boost 컨버터를 E-bike에 적용할 경우, 기동 시 큰 전류를 보충하기 위해 출력 단에 Super Capacitor가 사용된다. 이로 인해 생기는 입력 단의 Inrush 전류는 회로 구성 소자의 파손 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 그 뿐만 아니라, 배터리 입장에서의 Inrush 전류 및 모터 기동 시 순간의 큰 전류는 자체적 손상 및 수명 저하 문제를 야기한다. 상기 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 E-bike 적용 배터리의 수명 연장을 위한, 배터리 전류 제한 제어 기법을 제안한다. 컨버터 입력 전류인 배터리 전류를 제한함으로써, 큰 전류에 의한 소자 파손 및 배터리의 안정성 문제를 해결하였으며, 이를 통해 배터리의 수명을 연장이 가능하였다. 이를 모의실험 및 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

모바일 기술이 발달함에 따라 모바일 기술을 이용한 다양한 컨텐츠 개발이 중요한 문제로 떠오르고 있다. 기존의 텔레매틱스 서비스는 차량 밖에 사용자가 있을 경우 안내원을 통하여 원격진단 차량 문 열림, 도난차량 추적, 내차위치확인이 있다. 본 논문에서는 WIPI를 이용하여 자동차 원격제어 시스템을 구현하였다. 자동차 원격제어 시스템은 자동차 키를 대신해야 하는 상황이나 차량의 상태 등을 자신의 모바일을 사용하여 차량을 원격제어 하는 시스템이다. 또한 차량의 손상 및 파손 여부를 SMS를 이용하여 차주에게 바로 알려주는 서비스가 가능하다. 8인의 피 실험자가 각각 12번씩 모두 96번을 실험한 결과 응답시간이 2초 이내로 나타났고 100%의 동작 성공률을 보였다. 각 이동통신사들이 모바일 플랫폼으로 많은 로얄티를 지급하던 방식에서 벗어나서 대한민국이 주도한 WIPI 플랫폼이 모바일 시장을 개척해 나간다는 점에서 WIPI 플랫폼을 기본으로 이용한 서비스는 더욱 더 발전할 것이다. 앞으로 WIPI는 모바일 산업에 주축이 될 것이며 많은 수익 창출이 예상된다.

In general, most physical systems are complex, highly non-linearity, affected by disturbance, incomplete knowledge, and even interactive change with the operating points. To solve this problem, the research of modem control theory and controller is proceeding. Before appling the proposed controller to the real system, however, it needs an apparatus which can verify the proposed controller for being not damaged the plant. In this paper, therefore, a RCGA-based PI-type state feedback controller using reduced-order observer is implemented and applied to the seesaw system and a series of simulation are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the control system.

In this study, the experimental test results are given to confirm the control efficiency of the linear control algorithm used for designing the active mass dampers(AMD) which are supposed to be installed at Incheon international airport control tower. The comparison between the results from test and numerical analysis is conducted and it was observed that the AMD showed the control performance expected by the numerical model. The effects of the gain scheduling and constant-velocity signal added to the control signal calculated by the algorithm is identified through the observation that the AMD always show behavior within the given stroke limit without any loss of the desired control performance. The phase difference between the accelerations of the structure and the AMD were almost close to 90 degree, which implies that the AMD absorbed the structural energy effectively.

Vertical wet equipment for the BGA develop process was newly developed substituted for conventional horizontal wet equipment. The benefits of vertical equipment are that the pattern damages generated by the collision between the patterns and transferring rollers can be eliminated because the direct contact between the equipment's transferring units and the soft dry film patterns does not occurs. Taguchi experiment was conducted to optimize the process characteristics for the vertical equipment. The experiment was organized as the smaller the better problem which includes adequate uncontrollable factor and controllable factors. The uncontrollable factors are the 4 sides of two panels which are loaded to the equipment at the same time. By the analysis of the experiment, temperature of the develop chemicals and develop spraying time are analyzed as the main controllable factors. Finally, line pattern's minimum width which is not damaged for the develop process was improved from $13.8{\mu}m$ for the horizontal equipment to $10.4{\mu}m$ for the vertical equipment. And dot pattern's minimum width is improved from $22.1{\mu}m$ to $16.3{\mu}m$.

This paper describes experimental results on the seismic performance of SHCC (strain-hardening cement composite) infill wall for improving damage tolerance capacity of non-ductile frame. To investigate the effect of tensile strain capacity and cracking behavior of SHCC materials on the shear behavior of SHCC infill wall, three infill walls were fabricated and tested under cyclic loading. The test parameter in this study is a type of cement composites; concrete and SHCCs. The two types of SHCC materials were prepared for infill walls. In order to induce crack damages into the mid-span of the infill wall, each infill wall had two 100-mm-deep-notches on both sides. Test results indicated that SHCC infill walls showed superior crack control capacities and much larger drift ratios at the peak loads than RC (reinforced concrete) infill wall, as expected. In particular, due to the bridging actions of the reinforcing fibers, SHCC matrix used in this study would delay the stiffness degradation of infill wall after the first inclined cracking. Moreover, from the damage classes based on the cracks' maximum width in the infill walls, it was observed that PIW-SHD specimen possessed nearly threefold seismic capacities compared to PIW-SLD specimen. Also, from the results on the strain of diagonal reinforcements, it can be concluded that the SHCC matrix would resist a part of tensile stresses transferred along steel rebar in the infill wall.

In this paper, we present a speech-based Environmental Control System(ECS) and its application. In the concrete, an ECS using the speech recognition and an portable wheelchair lift control system with the speech synthesis are developed through the simulation and the embodiment. The developed system apply to quadriplegic man and we evaluate the result of physical effect and of mental effect. Speech recognition system is constructed by real time modules using HMM model. For the clinical application of the device, we investigate the result applied to 54-years old quadriplegic man during a week through the questionnaires of Beck Depression Inventory and of Activity Pattern Indicator. Also the motor drive control system of potable wheelchair lift is implemented and the mechanical durability is tested by structural analysis. Speech recognition rate results in over 95% through the experiment. The result of the questionnaires shows higher satisfaction and lower nursing loads. In addition, the depression tendency of the subject were decreased. The potable wheelchair lift shows good fatigue life-cycle as the material supporting the upper wheelchair and shows the centroid mobility of safety. In this paper we present an example of ECS which consists of real-time speech recognition system and potable wheelchair lift. Also the experiments shows needs of the ECS for korean environments. This study will be the base of a commercial use.
