When back analysis is used for the assessment of an operating subsea tunnel safety in various measurement information such as stress, water pressure and tunnel lining and ground stiffness degradation, the reliable results within tolerable error rate can be obtained. By utilizing a commercial geotechnical analysis program FLAC3D, back analysis can be performed with a DEA which has already been successfully validated in previous studies. However, relative more time-consumption is the drawback of this approach. For this reason, this study introduced beam-spring model-based on FEM solver which uses less analysis time relatively. Beam-spring program capable of structural analysis of a circular tunnel section was developed by using Python language and combined with the built-DEA. From the measurement datum, expected to estimate the stability of an operation tunnel close to real-time.

Underwater acoustic channel impulse responses (CIR) are influenced by sound speed profile (SSP), and the variation of CIR has significant effects on the performance of underwater acoustic communication systems. A significant change of SSP can occur within a short period, which must be considered during the design of underwater acoustic modems. This paper statistically analyzes the effect of the variation of SSP on the long-range acoustic signal propagation in shallow-water with thermocline using numerical modeling based on the data acquired from JACE13 experiment near Jeju island. The analysis result shows that CIR changes variously according to the SSP and the depth of the transmitter and receiver. We also found that when the transmitter and receiver are deeper, the variation of sound wave propagation pattern is smaller and signal level becomes higher. All CIR obtained in this study show that a series of bottom reflections due to downward refraction and small bottom loss in the shallow water with thermocline can be very important factor for long-range signal transmission and the performance of underwater acoustic communication system in time varying ocean environment can be very sensitive to the variation of SSP even for a short period of time.

In a head-mounted display (HMD) for virtual-reality applications, a narrow viewing angle is preferred to the usual, wide viewing angle because the HMD is positioned close in front of the user's eyes, and the display position is fixed. In this paper, we propose a new back-light unit (BLU) for implementing a narrow viewing angle, which is suitable for a HMD. By optimizing the scattering patterns in the light-guide-plate and inverse-prism structures, the viewing angle and correlations between structural parameters in the BLU components are analyzed with ray-tracing simulations. As a result, a double-angle inverse-prism structure incorporating the scattering patterns of a light-guide plate is chosen, which results in a 14% increase in center luminance, a 16% decrease in the vertical viewing angle, and a light efficiency of up to 70%, compared to a conventional BLU. Thus, the new BLU system is expected to be applied in a high-efficiency liquid crystal display.

With the advance of network and software infrastructure, Grid-computing technology on a cluster of heterogeneous computing resources becomes pervasive. Grid computing is required a coordinated use of an assembly of distributed computers, which are linked by WAN. As the number of grid system components increases, the probability of failure in the grid computing is higher than that in a traditional parallel computing. To provide the robustness of grid applications, fault detection is critical and is essential elements in design and implementation. In this paper, a OGSA based process fault-detection services presented to provide high reliability under low network traffic environment.

The Gorae II area is located in the southwestern margin of the Ulleung Basin, East Sea and corresponds to the Ulleung Trough. The survey of 3D seismic data in this area was performed to delineate the structural leads confirmed by the previous 2D seismic data. As a part of 3D interpretation, basement related structural movements and their relationship with the stratigraphy were studied. The study shows that eight sequences were identified which are genetically related to the tectonics and sediment supply in this area. The geologic structures characterizing the study area consist of : (1) block faults developed in the early stage of basin opening, (2) late Miocene thrusts, and (3) Pliocene wrench faults. The eight sequences consist of pre-rift (acoustic basement), syn-rift (Sequence $A_1, A_2$), post-rift (Sequence $B_1{\~}B_3$), syn-compressional sequence (Sequence C), and post-compressional sequence(Sequence D) from oldest to youngest. The time structure and isochron maps were constructed for each sequence and also used in seismic facies analysis and interpretation of sedimentary environment. The interpretation results reveal that the relative sea level changes caused by several stages of tectonic movements and sediment supply control the stratal and structural geometry of Ulleung basin.

Various sources, such as wind, waves, ships, and gas leaks from the seafloor, forms bubbles in the ocean. Underwater bubbles cause signal scattering, considerably affecting acoustic measurements. This characteristic of bubbles is used to block underwater noise by attenuating the intensity of the propagated signal. Recently, researchers have been studying the large-scale release of methane gas as bubble plumes from the seabed. Understanding the physical properties and distribution of bubble plumes is crucial for studying the relation between leaked methane gas and climate change. Therefore, a water tank experiment was conducted to estimate the distribution of bubble plumes using seismic imaging techniques and acoustic signals obtained from artificially generated bubbles using a bubble generator. Reverse time migration was applied to image the bubble plumes while the acquired acoustic envelope signal was used to effectively estimate bubble distribution. Imaging results were compared with optical camera images to verify the estimated bubble distribution. The water tank experiment confirmed that the proposed system could successfully image the distribution of bubble plumes using reverse time migration and the envelope signal. The experiment showed that the scattering signal of artificial bubble plumes can be used for seismic imaging.

this paper the acoustic signature from a supersonic nozzle is measured and compared to the result of a program developed for a gas turbine noise prediction. In order to measure the jet Mach Number, the pressure and temperature at the settling chamber was measured along with pressures from a pitot-tube placed near the exit. The results are also compared to the ones obtained with a shadow graph technique. Jet noise produced by an imperfectly expanded jet contains shock associated noise, which consist of broadband noise and screech tone noise. For subsonic condition, the directivity is dominant to the downstream direction due to turbulence mixing noise. For supersonic conditions, however, the directivity is dominant toward upstream direction due to shock associated noise. The comparison with a jet exhaust noise prediction code shows good agreement at supersonic conditions but needs to be improved at subsonic speeds.

하도 상황이 수역(水域)에서 식생역(植生域)으로 변화하여 최종적으로 육역화(陸域化)단계로의 천이가 진행되는 현상을 하도 육역화라고 한다. 하도 육역화는 하천의 생태환경적 측면에서 많은 문제들을 야기할 수 있으며, 단일 단면 하도의 복단면 고착화로 하천 통수 단면이 감소하여 하도의 홍수 관리 기능에 심각한 위해 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 하도 육역화 방지를 위한 수공구조물로서 말뚝을 설치하고 그 효과를 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 검토하였다. 수치 모의는 구조물 주변의 복잡한 흐름 모의를 위하여 복잡한 지형지물이 있는 경우에 많이 활용되는 LES(Large Eddy Simulation) 난류 모델을 적용하였으며 세굴 및 퇴적 영향을 알아보기 위하여 유사 세굴(Sediment Scour) 모델을 적용하였다. 하도 육역화 방지 수공구조물의 효과 검토를 위하여 모형 수로의 제방 근처에 말뚝을 설치하고 말뚝직경, 설치 간격 및 배열 등을 변화시켜 구조물 주변의 동수역학적 거동, 흐름분리 효과 및 세굴영향을 수치모의를 통하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 말뚝에 의한 흐름 분리와 국부 세굴에 의하여 하상 퇴적이 상대적으로 감소되는 효과를 나타냈으며 설치간격이 수변으로부터 말뚝 두께의 2배 그리고 흐름방향으로 말뚝 두께의 2배 이내의 간격으로 설치하여야 더욱 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 추후 다양한 수리모형 실험을 통한 검증과 다양한 조건에 대한 수치 모의를 통하여 하도 육역화 방지 기술을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

항만 및 어항 구조물을 구성하는 다양한 해안구조물은 파랑의 천수효과, 굴절, 회절, 부분반사, 해저마찰, 쇄파의 영향 등을 고려해야하며 파고 및 파향 등의 해양특성의 검토가 반드시 이루어져야 한다. 실제의 해양파가 방향스펙트럼을 갖는 다방향 불규칙파라는 것은 잘 알려져 있으며, 기존의 해안구조물의 내파설계 또는 천해역의 파랑변형 검토에 있어서도 실제 해양파에 보다 가까운 다방향 불규칙파를 이용한 수리모형실험에 의해 파랑현상을 정도 높게 재현하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 실제 해양파를 정도 높게 재현할 수 있는 다방향 불규칙파 조파장치를 사용하여 구조물 전면해역에서의 파랑스펙트럼을 재현하고, 심해에서 발달된 파랑이 천해로 진행될 때 지형에 의해 발생되는 천수변형과 구조물 주위에서 나타나는 파랑변형의 현상을 고려하여 항내로 유입되는 파랑의 분포 특성을 검토하였다. 특히, 다방향 불규칙파로 인한 항내 파고분포 특성을 검토하기 위하여 동일 파랑에 대한 규칙파 및 불규칙파랑을 조파하여 그 결과를 상호 비교하였다. 아울러, 정온수역유지를 위한 월파현상을 수리적으로 재현할 수 있는 3차원 수리모형실험 수행하여 월파현상이 항내정온도에 미치는 영향을 고찰, 해석하여 항만 시설물 계획시 안정한 정박 및 이용에 대한 가능한 정온유지여부를 검토하였다.
