국내의 국지성 집중호우와 같은 기후변화와 토지피복율 증가 등 복합적인 원인으로 인한 표면 유출수의 증가로 도시에서의 내수침수가 매년 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 이러한 도심지 돌발홍수로 인한 피해에 대한 구조적인 대책으로 지하방수로가 효과적인 방안으로 대두되고 있으며, 현재 신월빗물저류배수시설이 설계단계에 있다. 그러나 미국, 일본 등의 국외의 기설치된 지하방수로에서 발생되는 Geyser 현상으로 인한 피해에 대한 연구는 국외에 비해 미비한 편이므로, 선행적으로 Geyser에 대한 물리기반의 동수역학적인 이해가 필요한 실정이다. Geyser는 홍수 시 급격한 유량의 유입으로 단파가 발생하여 지하방수로 내 공기의 압축이 발생하고 수직관을 통해 공기가 물과 함께 지상으로 분출되면서 발생된다. 따라서 공기와 물의 혼합 유동을 모의해야 하며 동시에 단파의 불연속성을 모의하기 위해서는 기존의 상용프로그램으로는 다소 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지하방수로의 Geyser 현상의 발생 예측을 위해 1차원 Saint-Venant 방정식을 지배방정식으로 선정하였으며, 단파 발생을 수치적으로 안정적으로 모의하기 위해 Roe Approximate Riemann 수치기법을 사용하였다. 또한 공기의 압력항을 고려하기 위해서 수정된 형태의 Preissmann slot 모형을 적용하였다. Geyser 현상의 영향인자로서 지하방수로 수평관의 직경, 마찰계수, 바닥경사, 초기수위, 유입유량을 고려하였으며 상류에서 유입되는 유량에 의한 하류에서의 동수역학적 거동을 분석하였다. 5개의 영향인자의 변화에 따른 단파의 유입속도 및 공기부 압력의 변화를 관찰하여 Geyser 현상에 대한 동수역학적 검토를 수행하였다. 추후 본 연구결과를 적절히 활용한다면 지하방수로의 사용 안정성을 확보하고, 홍수발생 시 모니터링 인자도출에 도움이 될 것으로 예상된다.

Grouting for the rock joint is to strengthen the rock strata by infiltrating cement grout materials into the rock joints. Grouting is one of a field of study which is difficult to develop deterministic and quantitative design approach because of multiphase behaviors of grout materials and 3 dimensional features of rock joints. Therefore, GIN (Grouting Intensity Number) can be a good index with appropriate monitoring of pressure and volume of grout. In this paper, we investigate the effects of joint roughness (JRC) and rheology of cement material during the infiltration of cement grout material into rock joint through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analyses. With rough joint surface and increase of WC ratio, the frictional resistance during the grouting increases. The results have been summarized with polynomial correlations.

Large-scale industrial facility structures continue to deteriorate due to the effects of operating and environmental conditions. The problems of these industrial facilities are potentially causing economic losses, environmental pollution, casualties, and national losses. Accordingly, in order to prevent disaster accidents of large structures in advance, the necessity of diagnosing structures using non-destructive inspection techniques is being highlighted. The defect occurrence, location and defect type of the structure are important parameters for predicting the remaining life of the structure, so continuous defect observation is very important. Recently, many researchers have been actively researching real-time monitoring technology to solve these problems. Structure Health Monitoring Inspection is a technology that can identify and respond to the occurrence of defects in real time, but there is a limit to check the degree of defects and the direction of growth of defects. In order to compensate for the shortcomings of these technologies, the importance of defect imaging techniques is emerging, and in order to find defects in large structures, a method of inspecting a wide range using guided ultrasonic is effective. The work presented here introduces a calculation for the shape factor for evaluation of the damaged area, as well as a variable β parameter technique to correct a damaged shape. Also, we perform research in modeling simulation and an experiment for comparison with a suggested inspection method and verify its validity. The curved structure image obtained by the advanced RAPID algorithm showed a good match between the defect area and the shape.

In-situ structural health monitoring of filament wound pressure tanks were conducted during water-pressurizing test using embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. We need to monitor inner strains during working in order to verify the health condition of pressure tanks more accurately because finite element analyses on filament wound pressure tanks usually show large differences between inner and outer strains. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. We fabricated a standard testing and evaluation bottle (STEB) with embedded FBG sensors and performed a water-pressurizing test. In order to increase the survivability of embedded FBG sensors, we suggested a revised fabrication process for embedding FBG sensors into a filament wound pressure tank, which includes a new protecting technique of sensor heads, the grating parts. From the experimental results, it was demonstrated that FBG sensors can be successfully adapted to filament wound pressure tanks for their structural health monitoring by embedding.

Diseases in the gastro-intestinal track are on an increasing trend. In order to diagnose a patient, the various signals of the digestive organ, such as temperature, pH, and pressure, can offer the helpful information. Among the above mentioned signals, we choose the pressure variation as a monitoring signal. The variation of a pressure signal of the gastro-intestinal track can offer the information of a digestive trouble or some clues of the diseases. In this paper, a pressure monitoring system for the digestive organs of a living pig is presented. This system concept is to transmit the measured biomedical signals from a transmitter in a living pig to wireless receiver that is positioned out of body. The integrated solution includes the following parts: (1) the swallow type pressure capsule, (2) the receiving set consisting of a receiver, decoder box, and PC. The merit of the proposed system if that the monitoring system can supply the precise and repeatable pressure in the gastro-intestinal track. In addition, the design of low power consumption enables it to keep sending reliable signals while the pressure capsule is working in the digestive organ. The subject of the study for the pressure monitoring system is in-vivo experiments for a living pig. We achieved the pressure tracings in digestive organs and verified the validity of system after several in-vivo tests using pressure monitoring system. As a result, we found each organ has its own characterized pressure fluctuation.

진공 chamber에서 방전된 plasma 내부를 외부 view port를 통하여 확인하는 것은 극히 제한적이며 leak의 확률을 높이고 plasma의 균일한 방전을 방해한다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 내장형 무선 카메라를 chamber 내부에 위치한 후 고진공 영역에서 촬영을 시도하였으나 일반적인 CCD 카메라로는 촬영할 수 없다. 고진공 영역에서 카메라 내부온도의 급격한 상승이 원인으로 밝혀졌고 적정온도인 $45^{\circ}C$를 초과하여 최대 $96^{\circ}C$까지 4 min 이내에 상승함을 IR camera로 확인할 수 있었으며 이 때 카메라가 작동하지 않았다. 또한 카메라를 고진공 영역에서 촬영 및 녹화하기 위해서는 $46^{\circ}C$의 온도를 낮추어야 함을 진공해제 이후 내부온도가 $50^{\circ}C$로 감소하면서 내장형 무선 카메라가 다시 작동함으로 인해 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 내장형 무선 카메라에 AM 변조 방식의 311 MHz RF remote controller를 장착하여 외부에서 선택적으로 ON/OFF 할 수 있도록 개조하였고 10 L chamber에서 150 L/sec TMP를 이용하여 10-6 Torr의 압력에서 성공적으로 녹화 및 촬영하였다. 또한 내장형 무선 카메라 내부의 반도체 회로 규격 및 발열량과 heat sink의 규격 (열전도도, 복사율)을 추가로 조사하였다. 분자유동 영역에서 열전달은 복사에 의한 영향이 대부분이므로 내장형 무선 카메라 내부 온도를 감소시켜 카메라의 작동 시간을 연장하기 위하여 내부 회로에 emissivity가 높고 전기전도도가 낮아 회로에 영향이 없는 박막을 회로에 증착시키는 추후의 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the changes that occur due to the real-time monitoring of paddle pressures which has an important influence on the defibrillation success rate in defibrillation treatment known as the only treatment for cardiac arrest patients with VF. Methods : 40 people participated in the cardiac arrest simulation training and played the role of the defibrillation operator. Investigators measured the pressure of paddle while defibrillating by using instrument which was developed by the investigator. Results : Through real-time monitoring of the paddle pressures of defibrillator by indicator, the front sternum paddle showed a 77.5% success rate and the apex paddle showed a 40% success rate. While the values without monitoring the paddle pressures, the front sternum paddle showed a 51% success rate and the apex paddle showed a 20% success rate. These experiment revealed statistically significant(p <.001) low success rate. Conclusion : The method of monitoring the paddle pressures during defibrillation showed that the paddle can be precisely gripped. The success rate of paddle pressures is significantly correlated with height, weight and grip strength.
