This paper presents the results of numerical investigation on the stability of reinforced earth wall during rainfall. A series of limit-equilibrium based slope stability analyses within the framework of unsaturated shear strength, coupled with transient seepage analyses, were conducted with due consideration of rainfall characteristics in Korea. It is shown that the factor of safety of the reinforced wall during rainfall decreases with time due to decreases in the suction in the reinforced as well as retained zones. Also revealed is that the decrease in the factor of safety depends not only on the backfill soil type but also on the rainfall characteristics. Practical implications of the findings were discussed.

To determine 3D(three-dimensional) positions using a stereo-camera in close-range photogrammetry, camera calibration to determine not only the interior orientation parameters of each camera but also the relative orientation parameters between the cameras must be preceded. As time passes after performing camera calibration, in the case of non-metric cameras, the interior and relative orientation parameters may change due to internal instability or external factors. In this study, to evaluate the stability of the stereo-camera, not only the stability of two single cameras and a stereo-camera were analyzed, but also the three-dimensional position accuracy was evaluated using checkpoints. As a result of evaluating the stability of two single cameras through three camera calibration experiments over four months, the root mean square error was ±0.001mm, and the root mean square error of the stereo-camera was ±0.012mm ~ ±0.025mm, respectively. In addition, as the results of distance accuracy using the checkpoint were ±1mm, the interior and relative orientation parameters of the stereo-camera were considered stable over that period.

This paper deals with the robust stability analysis of STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) power system for power quality enhancement and power system stability. The STATCOM plays an important role in controlling the reactive power flow to the power network and hence the system voltage fluctuations and stability. The control areas of this plant are very large and the overall composition of the system is nonlinear. Also, STATCOM is influence of the uncertainties so that it is necessary to apply the new control technique. For solving these problems, we perform the fuzzy modeling and robust analysis for STATCOM system.

안정성은 가장 중요시되는 컴퓨터의 특성이다. 안정성에 문제가 생긴 경우, 전체의 동작이 중단되어 수정 중이던 데이터가 손실되거나 기존 데이터의 복구가 불가능하게 되는 상황이초래 될 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해 DuaIFS(8), log-structured 파일 시스템[10] 등의 다양한 저널링 파일 시스템들이 사용된다. 특히 Ext3 파일 시스템은 일반적으로 매우 안정적으로 동작하며, 치명적인 문제도 없기 때문에 많이 사용되고 있는 저널링 파일 시스템이다. 하지만 Ext3 파일 시스템의 기본 저널링 모드인 ordered mode는 메타 데이터에 대한 기록을 남기기 위해 여분의 디스크 공간이 필요하고, 저널링을 위한 추가적인 작업이 수행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 ordered mode의 추가적인 공간과 추가적인 작업의 필요 없이 저널링을 수행하는 log-ordered mode를 제안한다.

A comprehensive study has been made for the investigation of the convergence and stability characteristics of the LU scheme for solving the Euler equations on unstructured meshes. The von Neumann stability analysis technique was initially applied to a scalar model equation, and then the analysis was extended to the Euler equations. The results indicated that the convergence rate is governed by a specific combination of flow parameters. Based on this insight, it was shown that the LU scheme does not suffer any convergence deterioration at all grid aspect ratios, as long as the local time step is defined using an appropriate parameter combination.

데스크탑 그리드(Desktop Grid) 환경에서는 자원 제공자인 데스크탑의 자율적 연산 참여와 탈퇴를 허용하기 때문에 기존 데스크탑 그리드 시스템들은 연산 도중 잦은 중단으로 인해 연산의 완료 시간이 지연되고, 연산 수행의 신뢰성이 저하되며 연산의 완료를 보장하지 못하고 있다. 기존의 데스크탑 그리드 시스템들은 이러한 데스크탑의 동적 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 데스크탑의 연산 수행 양식을 고려하지 않아 시스템의 안정성과 성능이 저하되었다. 신뢰성 높은 연산 수행을 지원하고, 데스크탑의 비예측적 연산 수행 속성을 극복하기 위해서는 데스크탑의 동적인 특성인 휘발성(volatility)을 고려한 스케줄링이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 휴리스틱 접근을 통해 동적으로 가변하는 데스크탑의 상태를 보다 정확하게 모델링 하는 가용성 기반 마코브 작업 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 데스크탑의 가용성을 기반으로 과거 연산 수행에 대한 패턴을 확률 모델링하여 미래 연산 수행 유형을 예측함으로써 연산 수행 도중의 불안정한 자원 제공 현상을 완화시키며 안정적인 스케줄링을 지원하여 시스템의 신뢰성과 성능을 향상시킨다.

This study was carried out to assess quantitatively the safety of a tunnel by using critical strains in the ground. Critical strain is a new material property of the ground. It can be applied as deformation limits in the ground due to excavation using the measured displacement at the tunnel construction site. To achieve this purpose, the critical strain concept was reviewed and applied to assess the tunnel safety. First of all, the calculated excavation displacements of a circular tunnel by commercial programs were investigated and inputted into a feedback analysis module to calculate strains in the ground. Then the safety of tunnels was evaluated based on the critical strain concept. Subsequently the measured displacements obtained in the field are utilized practically to assess the safety of tunnels using the critical strain concept. Through this study, it was confirmed that the critical strain concept is useful to assess the safety of tunnels quantitatively.

Based on the case study on the causes for the failure of cutting slope composed of weathered rock and soil, the factors influencing the design of a cutting slope have been examined, This type of rock and soil is widely distributed on the region whose parent rock is granite. To analyze the stability of the cutting slope, the following series of progress has been conducted: (1) ground characterization by geological survey and ground investigation, (2) the safety factor examination by limit equilibrium analysis and numerical analysis and (3) the comparison and analysis of rainfall and failure history. As a result, the main factors to cause the failure is determined to be the decrease of shear strength in the upper parts whose ground condition is weakened during localized heavy rain. Moreover, the analysis indicates the failure is also closely related to the groundwater inflow path. On the base of this investigation, a reinforcement method is proposed to ensure the stability of the cutting slope.

To analyse the stability of a slope composed of waste material produced in a closed lead mine, numerical modeling has been carried out in two dimension using FLAC, finite difference program. The research was focused on the effect of the earthquake as well as a rise of water table upon slope stability. The numerical results have shown that the slope would not be safe against earthquake event and that the increase of pore pressure due to a rise of water table up to the ground level may result in a failure of the slope. On the basis of numerical analyses and site investigation, two sorts of measures have been taken. In short term, removal of a part of materials deposited on the top of the pile is required to increase immediately safety factor of the slope even a little. In ling term, it is necessary to repair drainage facilities and dam which covers waste material so that the slope is prevented from failure in a radical manner. It has been confirmed by numerical analyses that an improvenment of the stability can be in a great extent expected after such measures have been performed.
