In order to use the limit equilibrium theory, it is necessary to find a slip line under the ultimate failure condition. The strength reduction method using the Lagrangian finite element method defines the ultimate failure state at a time when the numerical solution cannot converge within the certain number of the iteration. When the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method is used, however, such definition is inappropriate because the numerical solution of the CEL method can converge even under the ultimate failure condition. In this study, an objective condition designating the ultimate failure state in the finite element analysis adopting the CEL method was proposed. In the problem of the bearing capacity of the undrained soft ground subjected to the strip footing loading, we found that the rate of the plastic dissipated energy is highly sensitive at the load of the theoretical limit of the ultimate failure state.

HNIW is a high energy material and has four crystalline phases, it is known that the thermal properties of the material depend on the crystal phase. In this sturdy, the viscosity, mechanical and burning properties of a solid propellant with nitrate ester polyester(NEPE) system with respect to the crystal phases of HNIW. According to the crystal phase of HNIW, the mechanical properties of the cured propellant did not change considerably, however differences were observed in the burning properties. Considering both a high density and stable burning properties, the optimum crystal phase of HNIW can be identified as the main factor influencing to the NEPE system propellant.

The SR-DCSK(Short Reference Differential Chaos Shift Keying) is a variant of DCSK that improves data transmission speed and energy efficiency without additional complexity. However, even when the reference signal of the optimum length is applied, the BER performance of the SR-DCSK is not better than that of the conventional DCSK. In this paper, we propose a scheme to improve the performance of SR-DCSK by applying two scale factors (scale coefficients) to the reference signal and the information signal, respectively. And the performance of the proposed method is analyzed by BER using Gaussian Approximation. Based on the derived BER expressions, we minimize the BER for a given system parameter to optimize the ratio of the two coefficients. Simulation results confirm that the BER of the proposed method is much improved over the SR-DCSK when we apply the optimal ratio of the two scale factors.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a good indicator for early diagnosis of heart abnormalities. The ECG signal has a different reference normal signal for each person. And it requires lots of data to diagnosis. In this paper, we propose an adaptive OpenCL-based FPGA-GPU hybrid-layer platform to efficiently accelerate ECG signal diagnosis. As a result of diagnosing 19870 number of ECG signals of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database on the platform, the FPGA accelerator takes 1.15s, that the execution time was reduced by 89.94% and the power consumption was reduced by 84.0% compared to the software execution. The GPU accelerator takes 1.87s, that the execution time was reduced by 83.56% and the power consumption was reduced by 62.3% compared to the software execution. Although the proposed FPGA-GPU hybrid platform has a slower diagnostic speed than the FPGA accelerator, it can operate a flexible algorithm according to the situation by using the GPU.

강이나 하천에 이수 및 치수의 목적으로 소규모 댐이나 보 등의 수리구조물을 설치한다. 수리구조물의 상하류부에는 하천 하상의 극심한 침식인 국부세굴현상을 방지하여 수리구조물의 안정성을 확보하기 위해 하상보호구조물을 설치하는데, 특히 하류부에 설치하는 하상보호구조물에는 크게, 다양한 형식과 크기의 물받이공, 에너지 감세공, 그리고 끝턱구조물 등이 이에 속한다. 지금까지 국내 외 수리구조물 설계지침에서는 하상보호공의 적절한 길이규모를 산정하기 위한 다양한 공식이 개발 및 적용되었지만, 최근 들어 다양한 목적을 위해 복잡해진 수리구조물의 형식과 다양한 운영방식에 따른 수리학적 분석내용이 적절하게 반영되지 않은 경험공식이 대부분 적용되었다. 따라서 예상보다 매우 큰 하상유실이 발생 하여, 하상보호구조물의 설치역할을 제대로 수행하지 못하고 오히려 수리구조물의 안정성에 위협을 주는 주요한 요인이 되었다. 그리고 최근 국내에는 4 대강 유역에 16개 중 대규모의 다목적 보가 설치되었으나 앞서 언급한 바와 같이 미흡한 설계지침을 기반으로 설치된 보 및 하상보호구조물의 기능이 저하되어 극심한 세굴현상이 발생하였다. 또한 이를 보강하기 위한 추가적인 공사 등으로 경제적인 손실을 야기하였다. 반면 외국의 최근 설계지침에는 하상보호구조물 하류부에서 발생하는 평형최대세굴심의 규모를 고려하거나 흐름 및 난류분포를 고려한 수리학적 분석이 반영되어 있지만 국내 설계지침에는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 국내 설계지침의 한계를 조사하고 현재 외국에서 적절하게 제안되어 적용 중인 하상보호구조물 설계지침을 검토하였다. 특히 수리학적 거동특성과 유사분포 특성이 고려된 최대세굴심 산정공식과 설계지침을 검토하였고, 평형상태에 도달한 세굴공 내에서의 수리학적 특성을 고려하여 하상보호구조물의 길이를 적절히 산정할 수 있는 기존 연구결과를 토대로, 하상보호구조물 길이 산정공식을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 검토된 외국 설계지침과 함께 수리학적 거동특성이 고려된 하상보호구조물의 길이 산정공식은, 향후 수리구조물의 안정성 확보를 위한 하상보호구조물의 설계에 반영될 필요가 있으며, 이를 통해 수리구조물의 효율적이고 경제적인 유지관리를 위해 적절히 활용될 수 있다.

The policy for Green New Deal will promote the shift of the application to coal as feedstock from coal as fuel. Coal can be used as fuel for production of hydrogen and as feedstock materials such as synthetic graphite or activated carbon. Hydrogen is obtained from syngas produced through Steam carbon(SC), Water-Gas Shift(WGS), and Carbonation reactions, and these processes should be used in conjunction with CO2 sequestration technology. Anthracite has a potential in terms of cost advantage as a feedstock compared to a petroleum pitch, because Synthetic graphite is prepared by heat treating an anthracite with high rank to a graphitization temperature which is in the range of 2400~2800℃, in the presence of inorganic catalyst such as silicon or iron. From several studies, it has been confirmed that coal-based activated carbon(AC) is manufactured with quality similar to the large specific surface area and much micropore volume of lignin-based AC, can be prepared. Therefore it is expected that lignin-based AC is replaced to coal-based AC.

This study is to find ways to self-produce energy even in buildings through the system of trees that grow by themselves focused on literatures and case studies. It is divided into the structure, circulation and reaction system of tree. 1) In the structural system, the tree is divided into the shoot and root system, and maintains rigidity with the cell membranes. The wind resistance caused by the trunk and crown can be applied to the seismic structure principle of building, and the role of platelike buttresses of lateral roots can be applied to the horizontal truss and suspension bridge. 2) In the circulation system, the transpiration action through the fine stomata of the leaves can be a very effective cooling means because a large amount of heat is released and this method can be directly introduced into the cooling of buildings. 3) In the responsive system, the response system according to environmental changes that can be read from the leaves and flowers of trees can be applied to the roof and exterior design of buildings through the use of new sensing technologies and materials.

The effects of directional fracture tensor components and first invariant of fracture tensor on deformation moduli and shear moduli of fractured rock masses is analyzed based on regression analysis performed between 3-D fracture tensor parameters and deformability of DFN blocks. Using one or two deterministic joint sets, a total of 224 3-D discrete fracture network (DFN) cube blocks were generated with various configurations of deterministic density and probabilistic size distribution. The fracture tensor parameters were calculated for each generated DFN systems. Also, deformability moduli with respect to three perpendicular direction of the DFN cube blocks were estimated based on distinct element method. The larger the first invariant of fracture tensor, the smaller the values for the deformability moduli of the DFN blocks. These deformability properties present an asymptotic pattern above the certain threshold. It is found that power-law function describes the relationship between the directional deformability moduli and the corresponding fracture tensor components estimated in same direction.

Copyrolysis of biomass/plastic mixture was carried out from room temperature to $600^{\circ}C$ with varing the heating rates of 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C/min$ using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Waste wood chip (WWC) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) were selected as a biomass and plastic, respectively. Individual pyrolysis temperature ranges were $430{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ and $230{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ for LLDPE and WWC, respectively. For the copyrolysis of WWC and LLDPE, the decomposition temperature range of WWC was not varied, while the decomposition temperature range of LLDEP was increased to a higher temperature. The results imply that the interaction might occur between LLDEP and WWC during copyolyis of LLDPE and WWC.

Two dimensional simulation results of a capacitively coupled oxygen plasma in a cylindrical reactor geometry are presented. Detailed electron impact reaction rates, which strongly depend on electron energy, are computed from collision cross sections of electrons with $O_2$ and O. Through the coupling of a three moment plasma model with a neutral chemistry/transport model are predicted spatiotemporal distributions of both charged species (electron, $O_2{^+}$, $O^+$, $O_2{^-}$, and $O^-$) and neutral species including ground states ($O_2$ and O) and metastables, known to play important roles in oxygen plasma, such as $O_2(a^1{\Delta}_g)$, $O_2(b^1{{\Sigma}_g}^+)$, $O(^1D)$, and $O(^1S)$. The simulation results clearly verify the existence of a double layer near sheath boundaries in the electronegative plasma.
