Brick wall models with window opening, length 1.844m $\times$ height 0.6m, representing 2-story building was constructed on a scale of 1/10 of actual size of brick building for the investigation of damage mechanism. Six settlement troughs presenting six stages of excavation were simulated by Peck(1969) and O'Rourke et al.(1976) methods. The results from the model tests using Peck(1969) and O'Rourke et al.(1976) method indicated that angular distortion of brick wall by O'Rourke et at. method was 21% greater than that of Peck method. Horizontal displacement by O'Rourke et al.(1976) was 24% greater than that of Peck. When the degree of building damage for the O'Rourke et al. method of settlement trough is plotted on the damage level graph(Boscardin & Cording, 1989), damage level becomes much more severe than the level obtained by peck's method. Also, building stiffness and soil-structure interface are considered important factors of expressing building damage.

Photogrammetry, as its name implies, is a 3-dimensional coordinate measuring technique that uses photographs as the fundamental medium for metrology. In the last few years the accuracy of photogrammetry has increased dramatically thanks to the rapid advance of digital camera manufacturing technique. This paper discusses photogrammetric measurement of the interface surface of MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera), which is a main payload of KOMPSAT-2. Total 24 paper targets on the objective surfaces and two scale bars calibrated with high accuracy were used for measurement, and multiple images were taken from 11 different camera angles by using a spacecraft rotation dolly. As a result of analysis, 3D coordinates of each targeted point were obtained and the flatness value based on the selected reference plane was calculated and compared with the pre-determined requirement. The technique acquired by this study is expected to be used for the 3D precise measurement of ultra-light weight and inflatable space structures such as a satellite antenna and a solar array.

원형 실린더를 주변 흐름에 관한 연구는 오랜 기간 유체역학 전 영역에서 모형실험이나 수치모형으로 광범위하게 연구되었다. 이 흐름은 하천의 교각이나, 바다의 시추선과 같은 수공구조물 주변에서 관측된다. 난류와 와류가 공존하는 복잡한 특성 때문에, 이 흐름은 수공학에서 유사이송, 세굴, 오염물 확산 등에 영향을 준다. 본 연구는 실험실 수로에 설치된 원형 실린더(D=9cm) 후방의 근접 와류 구간에서(x/D<5) 유속을 ADV로 측정한 후, 난류 특성을 Power Spectral Estimation(PSE)와 Singular Spectral Analysis(SSA) 방법으로 연구하였다. PSE는 샘플 스펙트럼의 한계를 보완하고자 자료를 분할하고, window 함수를 적용하여 ensemble 평균을 구하는 경험적 방법이다. PSE를 이용하여 스펙트럼을 계산한 결과, 주 흐름 및 횡방향 흐름은 Inertial subrange에서 Kolmogorov의 가정과 일치하는 추세를 보였다. 그러나 수심방향 흐름의 스펙트럼은 -5/3보다 빠르게 감소하는 추세를 보였다. Inertial subrange 스펙트럼에서 난류 에너지 소산율은 원형 실린더에서 멀어짐에 따라 감소하는 추세를 보였고, 주 흐름방향과 횡방향 흐름은 비슷한 크기를 보였다. 난류 에너지 소산율과 동점성계수를 이용하여 Kolmogorov 길이, 유속, 시간 스케일을 계산했다. 난류의 운동에너지를 계산하기 위해 Triple decomposition 방법 중 하나인 SSA를 적용하였다. SSA는 유속행렬을 이용하여 고윳값과 고유벡터를 계산하고, 유속에서 기여도가 큰 부분을 추출하는 방법이다. SSA를 통해 실린더 후방 흐름에서 와류 성분과 난류 성분을 나누었다. 횡방향 흐름은 강한 와류로 큰 기여도를 갖는 고유벡터가 나타났지만, 주 흐름과 수심방향 흐름은 상대적으로 낮은 기여도를 갖는 고유벡터가 나타났다. 와류를 제외한 흐름에서 난류 운동에너지는 실린더와 멀어짐에 따라 감소하고, 흐름 중앙에서(y/D=0) 가장 큰 값을 보였다.

This study analyzed and modeled the relationships between the probabilities of two exotic species occurrence (i.e. largemouth bass and blue gill) and environmental factors such as climatic and geographical variables using Generalized Additive Models (GAM), Generalized Liner Models and Classification Tree Analysis (CTA). The most moderate occurrence probability of largemouth bass was predicted using GAM with an area under the curve (ADC) of 0.88 and Kappa of 0.42, while those of blue gill was suggested by using CTA with an AUC of 0.92 and Kappa of 0.44. The most significant environmental variable in terms of changes in deviance for both species was the annual air temperature for the occurrence probability. Dams had stronger effect on the occurrence of largemouth bass than blue gill. Model development and prediction for the occurrence probability of fish species and richness are necessary to prevent further spread of exotic fishes such as largemouth bass and blue gill because they can threaten habitats of native river ecosystem through various mechanisms.

In this study, a fin that controls ship stern flow was attached on stern hull of a 80k bulk carrier to improve resistance performance. The rectangular cross-sectional fin was attached at several locations on the hull, and angle to streamline was changed with constant length, breadth, and thickness. The resistance performance and wake on propeller plane of the hull with and without the fin were analyzed using model-scale computational fluid dynamics simulation. The analysis results were extrapolated to full-scale to compare the performance and wake of the full-scale ship. First, the fin changed path of bilge vortex that flowed into the propeller along the stern hull without the fin to transom stern. This change increased pressure of the stern hull and upper region of the propeller, so pressure resistance and total resistance of the hull were reduced - the nearer the fin location to after perpendicular (AP) and base line of the hull, the larger the reduction of the resistances. Second, nominal wake fraction of the hull with the fin was lower than that without the fin. This dif erence was in proportion to the angle of the fin, but the total resistance reduction was in proportion until a certain angle at which the reduction was maximum. The largest total resistance reduction was approximately 2.1% at 12.5% of length between perpendiculars from the AP, 10% of draft from the base line, and 14° with respect to the streamline.

An optical current sensor device that measures electric current by the principle of the Faraday effect was designed and fabricated. The polarization-rotated reflection interferometer and the quadrature phase interferometer were introduced so as to improve the operational stability. Complex structures containing diverse optical components were integrated in a polymeric optical integrated circuit and manufactured in a small size. This structure allows sensing operation without extra bias feedback control, and reduces the phase change due to environmental temperature changes and vibration. However, the Verdet constant, which determines the Faraday effect, still exhibits an inherent temperature dependence. In this work, we tried to eliminate the residual temperature dependence of the optical current sensor based on polarization-rotated reflection interferometry. By varying the length of the fiber-optic wave plate, which is one of the optical components of the interferometer, we could compensate for the temperature dependence of the Verdet constant. The proposed optical current sensor exhibited measurement errors maintained within 0.2% over a temperature range, from 25℃ to 85℃.

The flows around a high speed train are very important because they could affect the aerodynamic characteristics such as drag and acoustic noise. Especially the boundary layer of flows could represent the characteristic of flows around the high speed train. Most previous studies have focused on the boundary layer region along the train length direction for the side of the train and underbody. The measurement and analysis of the boundary layer for the roof side is also very important because it could determine the flow inlet condition for the pantograph. In this study, the roof boundary layer was measured with a 1/20 scaled model of the next generation high speed train, and the results were compared with full-scaled computational fluid dynamics results to confirm their validity. As a result, it was confirmed that the flow inlet condition for the pantograph is about 85% of the train speed. Additionally, the characteristics of the boundary layer, which increases along the train direction, was also analyzed.

A capsule endoscopy is a medical device that can capture an entire digestive organ from the esophagus to the anus at one time. It produces a vast amount of images consisted of about 8~12 hours in length and more than 50,000 frames on a single examination. However, since the analysis of endoscopic images is performed manually by a medical imaging specialist, the automation requirements of the analysis are increasing to assist diagnosis of the disease in the image. Among them, this study focused on automatic detection of polyp images. A polyp is a protruding lesion that can be found in the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, we propose a weighted-image generation method to enhance the polyp image learning by multi-scale analysis. It is a way to extract the suspicious region of the polyp through the multi-scale analysis and combine it with the original image to generate a weighted image, that can enhance the polyp image learning. We experimented with SVM and RF which is one of the machine learning methods for 452 pieces of collected data. The F1-score of detecting the polyp with only original images was 89.3%, but when combined with the weighted images generated by the proposed method, the F1-score was improved to about 93.1%.

A key component of autonomous navigation of intelligent home robot is localization and map building with recognized features from the environment. To validate this, accurate measurement of relative location between robot and features is essential. In this paper, we proposed relative localization algorithm based on 3D reconstruction of scale invariant features of two images which are captured from two parallel cameras. We captured two images from parallel cameras which are attached in front of robot and detect scale invariant features in each image using SIFT(scale invariant feature transform). Then, we performed matching for the two image's feature points and got the relative location using 3D reconstruction for the matched points. Stereo camera needs high precision of two camera's extrinsic and matching pixels in two camera image. Because we used two cameras which are different from stereo camera and scale invariant feature point and it's easy to setup the extrinsic parameter. Furthermore, 3D reconstruction does not need any other sensor. And the results can be simultaneously used by obstacle avoidance, map building and localization. We set 20cm the distance between two camera and capture the 3frames per second. The experimental results show :t6cm maximum error in the range of less than 2m and ${\pm}15cm$ maximum error in the range of between 2m and 4m.

Flame flickering occurs mainly because of the buoyancy force for pool fires under ambient air. The cup-burner flame was used for experimental investigation of the effect of the oxidizer velocity on the gravitational instability. The results showed that the flickering frequency decreased with increasing oxidizer velocity. The frequency-buoyancy relation with nondimensional variables coincided with that of the buoyant flume and pool fires when the characteristic velocity was defined as the difference between the fuel and oxidizer velocities, which implies that the origin of the gravitational instability is the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the shear layer. The effect of the oxidizer composition on the instability was also examined through nitrogen dilution in the oxidizer stream. As the concentration of inert gas increased, the length of the blue flame increased and lift-off behavior was observed. The oscillation frequency was independent of the dilution ratio, but was related to the local flame structure.
