본 고에서는 강한 바람이나 지진에 의한 고층 구조물의 진동을 감소시키기 위하여, 능동제어장치가 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보이었다. 그러나 능동제어장치를 실제 구조물에 널리 적용하기에는 아직 많은 문제점들이 남아있다. 첫째, 효과에 비해 고가의 진동제어장치가 필요하며 유지관리에도 많은 비용이 필요하다. 또한 진동제어장치가 원활히 작동하기 위해서는 계속된 에너지의 공급이 있어야 하는데, 지진과 같은 과도한 구조물의 진동시 이를 보장할 수는 없다. 그러므로 극한상황에서는 진동을 오히려 증폭시킬 수도 있다. 둘째, Control Force의 산정시 사용되는 목적함수의 가중행렬을 결정하는 정형화된 방법이 아직 존재하지 않으며 효율적인 산정을 위해서는 많은 시행착오가 필요하다. 그밖에도 복잡한 실제 구조물의 단순한 모형화에 따라서 여러 문제점들이 발생하기 쉬우며, 실제 제어시에는 시간지연효과나 측정되지 못한 거동에 의한 문제 등이 있다. 구조물의 진동 저감방안에 대한 지금까지의 연구결과로는, 일반적인 경우에 있어서는 Base Isolator와 같이 재료의 감쇠특성을 이용하는 방법이 추천되고 있으나, 현재 내진설계된 고층건물과 같은 대형 구조물의 진동제어 등의 몇몇 경우에 있어서 능동제어의 필요성이 인정되고 있다. 좀더 안정적이고 효율적인 제어기법의 개발에 의해 많은 실제 구조물에 적용 범위를 넓힐 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 사이클로트론 전자석의 설계과정을 체계화하고, 자기장 최적화 과정을 순차적 근사화 기법을 이용하여 설계를 진행하였다. 설계하는 전자석은 방사성동위원소생산을 목적으로하는 PET(Positron Emission Tomography) 사이클로트론 이며, 크기를 줄이고 동위원소의 효율적인 생산을 위해 에너지대역은 10MeV로 선정하였다. 설계과정은 실험계획법 중 하나인 LHS(Latin Hypercube Sampling) 기법을 통해 샘플 데이터를 구성하고, 이를 바탕으로 크리깅을 이용해 근사모델을 구성한다. 근사 모델과 진화 알고리즘을 이용해 목적에 맞는 최적의 형상을 찾을 수 있다. 이러한 과정을 반복함으로써 점진적으로 목적에 부합하는 형상을 찾을 수 있다. 각각의 형상의 성능을 판단하는 목적함수를 단계별로 규칙을 정함으로써 결과의 신뢰도를 높인다. 이로써 시간적 효율을 증대시키고 전문지식이 부족한 설계자도 고성능의 형상을 얻을 수 있다. 최적화과정은 STEP1과 STEP2로 나누어 진행되며, STEP1에서는 초기사이클로트론 전자석을 설계하고, 자기장 최적화를 진행한다. STEP2에서는 빔 시뮬레이션 및 분석을 통하여 최적화를 진행하고, 최종적으로 전자석모델을 완성한다.

The initiation and growth of microcracks or microvoids inside concrete results in the progressive degradation of concrete. This damage processing along processing along with plastic deformation is main cause of nonlinear behavior of concrete. In this study, a continuum damage model of concrete is developed for the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of concrete due to damage and elasto-plastic deformation. Anisotropic damage tensor is used to describe the anisotropy of concrete and hypothesis of equivalent elastic energy is used to define the effective elastic tensor. The damage model including the damage evolution law and constitutive equation is derived with damage variable and damage surface which is defined by damage energy release rate by using the Helmholtz free energy and dissipation potential based on the thermodynamic principles. By adopting a typical plasticity model of concrete, plasticity of concrete is included to this model. Afinite element analysis program implemented with this model was developed and finite element analysis was performed for the analyses of concrete subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loadings. Comparison of the results of analysis with those of experiments and other models shows that the model successfully predicts the nonlinear behavior of concrete.

For energy-efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), when a sensor node detects events, the sensing period for collecting the detailed information is likely to be short. The lifetime of WSNs decreases because communication modules are used excessively on a specific sensor node. To solve this problem, the TARP decentralized network packets to neighbor nodes. It considered the average data transmission rate as well as the data distribution. However, since the existing scheme did not consider the energy consumption of a node in WSNs, its network lifetime is reduced. The proposed scheme considers the remaining amount of energy and the transmission rate on a single node in fitness evaluation. Since the proposed scheme performs an efficient congestion control it extends the network lifetime. The simulation result shows that our scheme enhances the data fairness and improves the network lifetime by about 27% on average over the existing scheme.

Void areas(holes) as an inevitable phenomenon exist in geographic routing of wireless sensor networks, because the unpredictable and harsh nature application environment or uneven energy consumption. Most of the existing schemes for the issue tend to construct a static detour path to bypass a hole. The static detour path may lead to uneven energy consumption of the nodes on the perimeter of the hole; thus it may enlarge the hole. At the same time, traffic would concentrate on the peripheral node of the hole; thus the nodes on the perimeter of the hole tend to be depleted quietly. In previous work, we have proposed a hole geometric model to reduce the energy consumption and packet collisions of the nodes on the hole boundary. This scheme, however, still has the static detour path problem. Therefore, we extend the previous work by constructing a dynamic detour path hole geometric model for wireless sensor networks in this paper. The location of hole detour anchors is dynamically shifted according to Gaussian function, just generating dynamic hole detour paths.

One of the major challenges of designing a dissemination protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) is energy efficiency. Recently, this issue has received much attention from the research community, and SPMS, which outperforms the well-known protocol SPIN, specially is a representative protocol. In addition, one of many characters of SPMS is the use of the shortest path to minimize the energy consumption. However, since it repeatedly uses the same path as the shortest path, the maximizing of the network lifetime is impossible, though it reduces the energy consumption. In this paper, we propose a dissemination protocol using probability-based clustering which guarantees energy-efficient data transmission and maximizes network lifetime. The proposed protocol solves the network lifetime problem by a novel probability function, which is related to the residual energy and the transmission radius between nodes. The simulation results show that it guarantees energy-efficient transmission and moreover increases the network lifetime by approximately 78% than that of SPMS.

This paper proposes an optimal design method of linear viscous dampers for the seismic performance of two adjacent structures with different heights. Accordingly, connection method using diagonal bracing between two floors and connection method between two structures are considered, and the effectiveness of the latter method is confirmed through the comparison of the frequency response functions with respect to damping capacity. Moreover, optimal damping to minimize the response of the adjacent structures in the frequency domain is found. The sensitivity of natural frequency and modal damping according to the damper capacity at each floor is obtained for the optimally designed system. From the sensitivity analysis, the modal damping is evaluated to be very sensitive to the damper installed at higher floor. Therefore, sensitivity-based damping distribution method is proposed. Diagonal bracing connection method, uniform distribution method and sensitivity-based distribution method are compared to each other in terms of seismic performance. The comparative results demonstrate that the proposed method is an effective seismic design method for the adjacent structures.

This study analyzed the influence of process variables affecting the thermodynamic equilibrium and fluid dynamics of interfaces such as reverse micelle, salt concentration, interfacial tension, and viscosity of fluids to optimize the microencapsulation process using the W1/O/W2 double emulsion method. The process variable with the greatest impact on encapsulation efficiency was found to be the difference in osmotic pressure between the W1 and W2 phases. It was observed that increasing the salt concentration in the W2 phase or decreasing the ascorbic acid concentration in the W1 phase resulted in higher encapsulation efficiency. Additionally, a larger difference in osmotic pressure led to increased damage to the surface of the microparticles, as confirmed by SEM images. The introduction of reverse micelles, which was anticipated to increase encapsulation efficiency, either had a low contribution or even decreased encapsulation efficiency. The yield of microcapsules was expressed as a universal function, applicable to all process conditions or solution compositions. According to this universal function, no further increase in yield was observed beyond the Ca (capillary number) of approximately 20.

The energy response of HPGe detector for low energy Photons was determined by using three Monte Carlo codes. MCNP4A. EGS4, and CYLTRAN in ITS3. In this study. bare HPGe detector$(100 mm^2{\times}10mm)$ was used and a pencil beam was incident perpendicularly on the center of the detector surface. The photopeak efficiency, $K_{\alpha}$ and $K_{\beta}$ escape fractions were calculated as a function of incident X-ray energies ranging from 12 to 60 keV in 2-keV increments. Since the Compton. elastic. ana penetration fraction were negligible in this energy range. they were ignored in the calculation. Although MCNP. EGS, and CYLTRAN codes calculated slightly different energy response of HPGe detector for low energy Photons, it appears that the three Monte Carlo codes can Predict the low energy Photon scattering Processes accurately. The MCNP results, which are generally known as to be less accurate at low energy ranges than the EGS and ITS results. are comparable to the results of EGS and ITS and are applicable to the calculation of the low energy response data of a detector.
