In this study, the extraction efficiency and reflection coefficient by a two-dimensional OWC (Oscillating Water Column) WEC (wave energy converter) installed in front of a seawall was investigated for regular/irregular waves. The matched eigenfunction expansion method (MEEM) based on the linear potential theory was applied as an analytical tool. The diffraction problem by the incident wave in the open-chamber and the radiation problem by the oscillating pressure in the closed-chamber were solved to obtain the volume fluxes at the internal free-surface. Applying the volume fluxes into the continuity equation for the airflow in a chamber, we got the oscillating air pressure. The maximum extracted power and corresponding reflection coefficient were determined at the optimal turbine coefficient that maximizes the extracted power. OWC device designed for a high extracted efficiency simultaneously contributes to reduce reflected waves.

To interpret the seismic image precisely, random noises should be suppressed and the continuity of the image should be enhanced by using the appropriate smoothing techniques. Structure-Oriented Filter-Edge Preserving (SOF-EP) technique is one of the methods, that have been actively researched and used until now, to efficiently smooth seismic data while preserving the continuity of signal. This technique is based on the principle that diffusion occurs from large amplitude to small one. In a continuous structure such as a horizontal layer, diffusion or smoothing is operated along the layer, thereby increasing the continuity of layers and eliminating random noise. In addition, diffusion or smoothing across boundaries at discontinuous structures such as faults can be avoided by employing the continuity decision factor. Accordingly, the precision of the smoothing technique can be improved. However, in the case of the structure-oriented semblance technique, which has been used to calculate the continuity factor, it takes lots of time depending on the size of the filter and data. In this study, we first implemented the SOF-EP method and confirmed its effectiveness by applying it step by step to the field data. Next, we proposed and applied the corner response method which can efficiently calculate the continuity decision factor instead of structure-oriented semblance. As a result, we could confirm that the computation time can be reduced by about 6,000 times or more by applying the corner response method.

The purpose of this paper is recovery of the profiles of the wave speed and density from the reflection coefficients of the continuously layered acoustic medium with depth dependent density and wave speed at various angles of incidence. A downward continuation or layer stripping algorithm, which recursively reconstructs the medium in increasing depth and then strips away the effects of the reconstructed portion of the medium, is the method with fewer computations than integral equation procedures. This paper implements an improved downward continuation algorithm that uses reflection data at several angles of incidence and performs a least-squares fitting at each depth. The result is a considerable improvement in performance over the usual downward continuation algorithm.

This paper describes a method of visualization and fast estimation of parameter in continuous time signal. The parameter estimation method of this paper directly estimate the parameters on the basis of the discrete Fourier transform. Also, this paper present to efficient visualization method of dominant parameters obtained in continuous time signal. The proposed methods are applied to test functions with three dominant modes. The results show that the proposed methods are highly applicable to parameter estimation and visualization in continuous time signal.

Variable speed limit(VSL) is one of the highway ITS techniques designed to prevent accidents and traffic slow down by reducing congestion or speed variation between vehicles and lanes prior to arrive at the accident location by limiting speed. In Korea, while people have recognized the need for variable speed limit beginning with Seoul's urban expressway and installed facilities in order to provide guide for speed limit per lane and lane use, there has not been enough development of algorithm for internal administration as well as research on the basic principles behind administering variable speed limit. This study is for modeling and evaluating the VSL strategies based on the traffic flow theory. Supply-Demand method of the Cell Transmission Model is applied to demonstrate the traffic features and shockwaves to upstream of the bottleneck with/without VSL. We verified the explanation of Cell Transmission Model for the numerical example. and as the result, it is found that VSL strategies can reduce the total travel time in the congested section and variation of the speed. It means VSL is useful to improve the traffic condition and the safety on highway

The ubiquitous transportation system environments make it possible to collect each vehicle's position and velocity data and to perform more sophisticated traffic flow management at individual vehicle or platoon level through V2V and V2I communication. It is necessary to develop a new data processing methodology to take advantage of the ubiquitous transportation system environments. This paper proposed to build 3-dimension data profiles to maintain the detailed traffic flow information contained in the individual vehicles' data and at the same time to keep the profiles from the meaningless fluctuations. Also methods to build the platoon profile and the shock wave speed profile are proposed, which have not been possible under ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) environments.

A new ultrasonic test method is proposed to obtain elastic constants of unidirectional composite materials nondestructively. In the proposed test method, only longitudinal transducers are used to measure wave velocities by through-transmission method. An aluminum wedge and a flat aluminum rectangular block are placed on each side of the test specimen. Oblique incident longitudinal wave is transmitted from a wedge to the specimen and the mode conversions are occurred sequentially at two interfaces between the specimen and aluminium. Measuring wave velocities converted to longitudinal waves in the rectangular block give all information to determine elastic constants of the composites. In order to determine shear stiffness coefficients, transverse wave velocity is measured indirectly from received longitudinal wave. Effects of anisotropy on waves are also considered in this study.

단층 퍼셉트론이 처음 개발되었을 때, 간단한 패턴을 인식하는 학습 기능을 가지고 있기 장점 때문에 학자들의 관심을 끌었다. 단층 퍼셉트론은 한 개의 소자를 이용해서 이진 논리를 가중치(weight)의 변경만으로 모두 표현할 수 있는 장점 때문에 영상처리, 패턴인식, 장면인식 등에 이용되어 왔다. 최근에, 역전파학습(Back-Propagation Learning)알고리즘이 이진 공간내의 매핑 문제에 적용되고 있다. 그러나, 역전파 학습알고리즘은 연속공간 내에서 긴 학습시간과 비효율적인 수행의 문제를 가지고 있다. 일반적으로 역전파 학습 알고리즘은 간단한 이진 공간에서 매핑하기 위해서 많은 반복과정을 요구한다. 역전파 학습 알고리즘에서는 은닉층의 뉴런의 수는 주어진 문제를 해결하기 위해서 우선순위(prior)를 알지 못하기 때문에 입력층과 출력층내의 뉴런의 수에 의존한다. 따라서, 3층 신경회로망의 적용에 있어 가장 중요한 문제중의 하나는 은닉층내의 필요한 뉴런수를 결정하는 것이고, 회로망 합성과 가중치 결정에 대한 적절한 방법을 찾지 못해 실제로 그 사용 영역이 한정되어 있었다. 본 논문에서는 패턴 분류를 위한 새로운 학습방법을 제시한다. 훈련입력의 기하학적인 분석에 기반을 둔 이진 신경회로망내의 은닉층내의 뉴런의 수를 자동적으로 결정할 수 있는 NETLA(Newly Expand and Truncate Learning Algorithm)라 불리우는 기하학적 학습알고리즘을 제시하고, 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 제안한 알고리즘의 우수성을 증명한다.

창원시 북면과 대산면 강변 여과 취수 지역에서의 탄성파 조사를 통한 충적 대수층의 특성 규명은, 탄성파 조사가 충적 대수층의 수리지질학적 정보를 획득하는데 매우 유용한 방법임을 보여주었다. 특히 굴절법 탐사는 충적층 지하수위 추정에 뚜렷한 효과가 있음을 보여주었으며, 고해상도 반사법 탐사의 경우도 퇴적 구조를 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 조사된 지역의 지하수위는 하천수위에 비해 약 2m 이상 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 조사된 시기의 지하수가 하천 방향으로 거동하고 있음을 시사한다. 하천 방향의 지하수위 최대 경사는 약 2/100 였으며, 실제 전반적인 조사 지역내의 충적층 지하수위 수두 경사는 이보다 작은 값일 것으로 사료된다. 또한 점토 및 실트질 지층이 조사 지역에 협재하고 있으나 이들의 수평적인 연속성은 한계가 있어 대표적인 대수층인 자갈 혼재층이 부분적으로만 피압 상태에 있을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 햄머 진원을 이용한 고해상도 반사법 탐사의 경우, 약 40m 전후 심도의 충적층 하부 기반암의 상부를 뚜렷하게 보여주기에는 한계가 있다고 판단되며, P파의 속도와 주파수 문제로 인한 수직 해상력의 한계는 S파 등을 활용한 조사를 통해 보완할 필요가 있다고 사료된다

In this paper, the IED(Intelligent Electronic Devices) with the consideration of harmonic problems is discussed, With significant development of power electronics technology, the proliferation of a nonlinear load has more deteriorated power quality, As continuous harmonic current makes for a shortening lifetime, overheat and abnormal operation, it should be considered to improve these problems. However, the conventional digital protective relay which eliminates harmonic elements with orthogonal filter has a defect on actually implementation. The prototype IED is constructed with Digital Signal Processor(TMS320C32) and Complex Programmable Logic Device. According to the experiment and simulation results, it is proved that the proposed system has good performance of measuring harmonic factors and protecting electrical equipment.
