열차가 주행하는 선로에 설치되는 궤도회로는 레일 자체를 전기회로의 일부로 사용하여 일정 구간 내의 차량 유무를 판단하기 위한 회로이다. 국내의 경우 사용 주파수에 따라 전원전압 주파수의 짝수 고조파 대역을 사용하는 고속선 궤도회로와 홀수 고조파 대역을 이용하는 일반선 궤도회로로 구분할 수 있다. 이러한 궤도회로가 설치된 선로를 주행하는 고속차량의 주전력변환장치 컨버터는 단위 역률 제어를 수행하기 위하여 전원전압의 홀수 배수의 스위칭 주파수를 가지고 있기 때문에 컨버터 동작 시 가선전류에 고조파 전류가 생성된다. 이 때 컨버터부에서 발생되는 고조파 전류의 주파수와 궤도회로의 사용 주파수 대역이 일치하는 경우에 궤도회로의 오작동을 유발할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력 컨버터부에서 사용하는 스위칭 주파수를 운행 구간에 따라 가변시켜 궤도회로 간섭 고조파 성분을 제어하는 방법을 제안하고 시험을 통해 성능을 확인하였다.

Celestial Chart Stones (original and reproduction) in the National Palace Museum are representative scientific cultural heritage of Korea. Material analysis and nondestructive deterioration assessment were conducted for long-term preservation of these stones. Material analysis revealed that the original was composed of slate and the reproduction was made of dolostone. The original consists of quartz, mica, dolomite minerals, while the reproduction was made up of dolomite, calcite and forsterite. Major deterioration factors of the original stone were cracks and breakouts. In case of the reproduction, scratches and artificial materials were mainly observed. The green and black surface contaminants present at the sides and back of the two celestial chart stones were interpreted as resin-based paint materials. The physical property evaluation using ultrasonic velocity showed a low velocity in the upper left side of the original, while the front right side of the reproduction showed a weak property. Meanwhile, the To-Tc method using ultrasonic velocity was applied to major cracks that impede stability of the original. As a result, it has been calculated that the beginning and the center of the crack are the deepest.

KHSR(Korean High Speed Railway) had achieved the maximum speed of 350 km/h last year. And then, we have concentrated to improve the reliability of the overall system, in particular, motor block of the locomotive. In this paper, simple technique for operating PWM converters under the voltage distortion is introduced. In addition, the electrical braking technique is also made to have the braking capability under the dead zone. Test results revealed the verification of the proposed techniques.

As dialogue systems are widely required, the research on natural language generation in dialogue has raised attention. Contrary to conventional dialogue systems that reply to the user with a set of predefined answers, a newly developed dialogue system generates them dynamically and trains the answers to support more flexible and customized dialogues with humans. This paper proposes an evolutionary method for generating sentences using interactive genetic programming. Sentence plan trees, which stand for the sentence structures, are adopted as the representation of genetic programming. With interactive evolution process with the user, a set of customized sentence structures is obtained. The proposed method applies to a dialogue-based train booking agent and the usability test demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed method.

Recently a limited section of trackbed with ballast at KTX railway were reported to have settled down and led to problems such as reduced speed and passenger discomfort. Therefore, an urgent remedy for the settled trackbed is required to recover normal operation of KTX trains. In this paper, a new technique is proposed to visualize the elastic modulus of cross sections at railway trackbeds under ballast for practical identification of potential settlement. The proposed technique is based on ICSW technique, enabling use of impact source and overcoming inherent limitations of CSW method. To verify validity and feasibility of the proposed method, the method was employed to construct cross-sectional images of elastic modulus of two railway trackbeds and compared with other tests such as SASW, PBT, DCP and portable FWD tests.

Thermal and gas adsorption properties were measured for Korean earthenware (onggi) as a step to elucidate its role as food preserving container. Thermal conductivity and diffusivity decreased with increase in porosity while heat capacity depended on the raw soil component rather than porosity. Thermal barrier of the earthenware was generally similar to that of glass. The onggi material could sorb or adsorb a limited amount of water vapor, $CO_2$ and ethylene gases (0.0005 g/g, $17{\mu}g/g$, $2.6{\mu}g/g$, respectively). Thermal and gas adsorption properties of onggi seem to provide unique application area for use as food container and packaging.

Recently, concrete tracks are introduced into high-speed railroads as an alternative to ballast tracks. Concrete tracks are superior to ballast tracks in the aspect of durability, maintenance and safety. However, deteriorated stiffness of railroad bed and settlement of soft ground induced by trapped or seepage water lead to problems in safety of train operation. In this research, flexural rigidity of concrete tracks was employed as an index of track displacement and a new seismic technique called FRACTAL (Flexural-Rigidity Assessment of Concrete Tracks by Antisymmetric Lamb Waves) method was proposed to delineate flexural rigidity of concrete tracks in a 2-D image. In this paper, to establish theoretical background, parametric research was performed using numerical simulations of stress-wave tests at concrete tracks. Feasibility of the FRACTAL technique was proved at a real concrete track for Korean high-speed trains. Validity of the FRACTAL technique was also verified by comparing the results of impulse-response tests performed at the same measurement array and the results of DC resistivity survey performed at a shoulder nearby the track.

Based on the proven feasibility of bottom ash and tire shred-soil mixtures as lightweight fill materials, tire shred-bottom ash mixtures were suggested as a new lightweight fill material to replace the conventional construction material (soil) with bottom ash. Therefore, we carried out the field compaction test and performance test of large scale embankment in order to evaluate their suitability for the use of lightweight fill materials. In these tests, we could assess the settlement, earth pressure, stress-strain relation, vibration of large scale embankment which were made with tire shred-bottom ash mixture and the conventional fill material(weathered soil) respectively. The earthpressure and vibration transmission was decreased and the settlement behaviour of the 2 materials (tire shred mixture and weathered soil) was measured similarly under static/cyclic loading condition.

Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC)은 미사일, 로켓발사체와 같이 고온에 노출되는 장비를 열로부터 보호하기 위한 코팅이다. 일반적인 Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC)은 모재와 코팅층간의 낮은 접합력과 높은 열충격으로 인한 박리가 많이 나타난다. 그래서 접합력을 높이고, 열충격을 줄이기 위해 모재와 코팅층 사이에 본드코팅층을 만든 Duplex - Thermal Barrier Coating (Duplex-TBC)이 개발되었다. 그러나 Duplex - Thermal Barrier Coating (Duplex-TBC)은 금속재료인 본드코팅층과 세라믹재료인 탑코팅층 사이에서 박리가 많이 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 두 가지 분말을 동시에 코팅하여 본드코팅과 탑코팅의 경계가 없는 Functional Gradient Material - Thermal Barrier Coating (FGM-TBC)의 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 Functional Gradient Material - Thermal Barrier Coating (FGM-TBC)의 열충격 특성에 미치는 진공 플라즈마 용사 조건의 영향을 조사하였다. Functional Gradient Material - Thermal Barrier Coating (FGM-TBC)는 진공 플라즈마 용사장치를 사용하여 Cu-Cr 합금위에 코팅하였다. 거리, Carrier gas flow, 그리고 챔버 내부의 압력을 달리하여 제조하였다. 사용한 분말은 본드코팅용으로 Amdry 962와 내열 세라믹코팅을 위해 204NS를 사용하였고, 각각 분말 공급조건을 조절하여 두 분말의 비율을 달리하였다. 제조한 Functional Gradient Material - Thermal Barrier Coating (FGM-TBC) 코팅은 전기로에서 50분간 가열한 후, 수조에서 10분간 냉각하는 열충격 실험을 통해 열차폐 성능을 평가 하였다. 이러한 과정에서 진공 플라즈마 용사 조건 및 FGM 조성과 비율이 내열충격 특성에 미치는 영향을 미세조직학적 관점에서 고찰하였다.

A 400km/h simple catenary system was constructed as a test line in Korea. In the design stage of this system, the pre-sag was one of the engineering issues most focused on. It is known that the pre-sag improves the current collection performance in a certain band of high speed. However, the effect of pre-sag at 400km/h has not yet been established. To grasp a better pre-sag in the 400km/h catenary, we transacted the dynamic performance prediction simulation between catenary and pantograph under conditions of 0 and 1/3000 pre-sag. The level of 0 pre-sag was adapted for the 400km/h catenary design after reviewing predictions. We constituted the 1/3000 pre-sag sample section (about 1km) while constructing the 400km/h catenary test-bed (28km) of 0 pre-sag. With a HEMU-430X train, the contact forces were measured in the test-bed including the pre-sag sample section. In this paper, the predicted and measured dynamic performance values (contact forces) for 0 and 1/3000 pre-sag are described and compared. It is conclusively confirmed by analytical and experimental examination that the non pre-sag showed better dynamic (current collection) performance than that of the 1/3000 pre-sag for the 400km/h catenary system.
