The consolidation tests are conducted to investigate the soil particle crushing stress for understanding the secondary compression characteristics of carbonate sandy sabkha soil caused by particle crushing under a high confining stress. The rate of secondary crushing compression ($C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$) is introduced instead of the rate of secondary compression to define the characteristic of the particle crushing compression settlement ($S_s{^*}$). Void ratio ($e_p{^*}$) and settlement ($H_p{^*}$) in particle crushing are used as a reference point of secondary behavior, and the ratio of primary compression index ($C_c$) to secondary crushing compression ($C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$), $C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}/C_c$ value was changed from 0.0105 to 0.0187. When comparing with quartz sands, secondary compression settlement of sabkha is very large due to particle crushing which is not usually observed in quartz sand. It is observed that as the depth of sabkha layer becomes deep, the $S_s{^*}$ and $C_{{\alpha}{\epsilon}}{^*}$ increase under the same stress level.

The dome stretching and tension test have been made to obtain a forming limit curve(FLC) for the copper alloy which is used for manufacturing the regenerative cooling chamber. For experimental survey of the forming limit curve, we have used in-plane tension specimen to obtain tension-compression strain state and also out of plane specimen to obtain tension-tension strain state through dome stretching test. All specimens are divided into longitudinal and radial direction specimens by the manufacturing method. The test results shows that in tension-tension region, copper alloy possesses a maximum major strain of 62.3% and maximum minor strain of 58.6%. In the tension-compression region, maximum major strain is 60.5% and maximum minor strain is 25.8%.

The test facility of a 1/60-scale model for train-tunnel systems has been recently developed to investigate the effects of tunnel portal shapes, hood shapes and air-shafts for reducing the micro-pressure waves radiating towards the surroundings from the tunnel exit. The present test rig has been advanced from a 1/70-scale facility at NLR in Netherlands. The NLR test rig has the two-wise guidance system that needs two ears attached on the external surface of a model train nose. Therefore, their train models have irregular nose shapes. The main characteristics of the present facility are that the train model is guided by only one wire from the compressed air launcher to the absorber parts of test facility and the wire guidance hole is located at the axial center of a train model. In the present test rig, after a train model is launched, the air jet from the launcher does not enter the tunnel model. Experimental results were compared with numerical predictions to prove the performance of the test facility.

This paper describes an analysis on performance and exergy of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system with internal heat exchanger to optimize the design for the operating parameters of this system. The operating parameters considered in this study include subcooling and superheating degree, internal heat exchanger and compression efficiency, evaporation and condensation temperature in the R744 low- and R404A high- temperature cycle, respectively. The main results are summarized as follows : As the evaporation temperature of cascade heat exchanger increases, the COP of R404A high-temperature cycle increases. But the COP of R744 low-temperature cycle decreases, and the COP of total cascade cycle is almost constant. As cascade evaporation temperature increase, the exergy loss in the R404A condenser and the R744 internal heat exchanger is the largest and the lowest among all components, respectively. Therefore, the exergy loss in the condenser and compressor of R404A must be decreased to enhance the COP of R744-R404A cascade refrigeration system.

The main object of this paper is to investigate the effects of high temperatures on the physical and mechanical properties of natural sand concrete(NSC) and crushed sand concrete(CSC). Test samples were exposed to high temperature ranging from $200^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$. After exposure, various tests were conducted. Color image analysis and weight losses were determined and compressive strength test and splitting tensile strength test were conducted. The results indicated that weight losses increased as exposure temperature increased with comparable decreasing rate. The results also showed that compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity decreased as exposure temperature increased. The results also showed that residual compressive strength of NSC decreased more drastically than that of CSC at $200^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$. Residual splitting tensile strength of NSC decreased more than that of CSC at $200^{\circ}C$, while NSC and CSC showed comparable residual strength ratio at $800^{\circ}C$.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Polyacrylic Acid(PAA) homogeneous composites of four different composition ratio were preparation by co-precipitation process with synthetic HAp and PAA as a binder. HAP/PAA composites were molding by cold isostatic pressing and were sintering by various condition in air. Crystallinity and structure of sintered HAp/PAA composites were investigated by XRD and FT-IR. Also, the compressive strength and the fracture surface of sintered specimens were measured by UTM and SEM. HAp/PAA composites were showed phase transformation of partially ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate at sintering condition of 1200$^{\circ}C$ and 3 h. The pore size and porosity of sintered body were showed the range of 0.2∼3.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 0.49∼13.43%, respectively. The compressive strength of sintered specimens were appeared the range of 36.6∼58.2 MPa. From these results, the sintered HAp/PAA comosites can be accounted for the microporous HAp having a good compressive strength due to homogeneous pore morphology.

In this paper, we developed a miniaturized real time video compression system satisfying the military environment using ADV212 and FPGA. We present an efficient hardware design scheme for the weight reduction of the device and also a software solution to deal with noisy image signals. Experimental results show that the frame delay is reduced by a factor of 2 or 3 and the device's weight is decreased by a factor of 6 to 7. In order to prove the reliability for the military usage of this development, we examine the environmental test (MIL-STD-810G) and EMI test (MIL-STD-461F). Experimental results show that the developed system satisfies the requirements.

Even after establishment of H.264/AVC standard, the video coding experts group (VCEG) of ITU-T has researched on development of promising coding techniques to increase coding efficiency based on the key technology area (KTA) software. Recently, the joint collaboration team video coding (JCT-VC) which was composed of the VCEG and the motion picture experts group (MPEG) of ISO/IEC is developing a next-generation video standard namely HEVC intended to gain twice efficiency than H.264/AVC. An adaptive interpolation technique, one of various next-generation techniques, reported higher coding efficiency. However, it has high computational complexity and does not deal with various error characteristics for videos. In this paper, we investigate characteristics of interpolation filters and propose an effective fixed interpolation filter bank including diverse properties of error. Experimental results is shown that the proposed method achieved bitrate reduction by 0.7% and 1.3% compared to fixed directional interpolation filter (FDIF) of the KTA and the directional interpolation filter (DIF) of the HEVC test model, respectively.

세굴은 유체와 유사의 상호작용으로 발생하는 중요한 자연 현상 중 하나로, 구조 및 지반 붕괴, 홍수, 생태계 파괴 등의 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 세굴 현상을 예측하기 위해 많은 수치적 연구가 진행되어왔지만, 대부분의 연구가 기존 격자기반방법인 유한체적법 (FVM)과 개별요소법 (DEM)이 연성된 모델을 이용하였고, 이는 격자 의존도로 인한 정확도와 효율성의 문제점을 보였다. 해결책으로 입자기반 유체해석 방법인 약압축성 SPH (WCSPH)와 개별요소법의 결합모델을 이용한 모의가 연구되어 왔지만, 단순 밀도차를 활용한 유체해석방법이 압력의 불안정성을 야기하여 유사의 운동에도 영향을 주는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 개별요소법의 특성상 모의 입자의 크기를 실제 실험 입자의 크기와 동일하게 설정하면서 입자수가 지나치게 증가해 계산의 효율성이 현저히 낮아지게 되었고, 이로 인해 실제 자연 지형에 적용하는데 어려움을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서는 향상된 세굴 수치모의해석을 위해 반복법을 통해 안정적인 유체 압력을 계산하는 비압축성 SPH (ISPH)와 개별요소법을 연성한 ISPH-DEM 모델을 사용하였다. 또한, 계산속도 향상을 위해 하나의 입자가 다수의 작은 입자의 움직임을 대표하는 Coarse-grained 방법을 적용하여 기존 모델을 개선하였다. 개선된 모델을 NFLOW ISPH PURPLE 소프트웨어를 이용하여 세굴 현상을 수치 모의하였고 실험 결과와 검증을 진행한 결과, 세굴의 깊이, 너비, 형상 등을 비교하였을 때 약 10% 이내의 오차를 보였고, Coarse-grained 방법을 통한 입자 수 감소로 최소 13배 증가된 해석 속도를 보였다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 제시된 모델이 실제 자연 지형에서의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we proposed a hardware(H/W) structure which can compress and recontruct the input image in real time operation and implemented it into a FPGA platform using VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). All the image processing element to process both compression and reconstruction in a FPGA were considered each of them was mapped into H/W with the efficient structure for FPGA. We used the DWT(discrete wavelet transform) which transforms the data from spatial domain to the frequency domain, because use considered the motion JPEG2000 as the application. The implemented H/W is separated to both the data path part and the control part. The data path part consisted of the image processing blocks and the data processing blocks. The image processing blocks consisted of the DWT Kernel fur the filtering by DWT, Quantizer/Huffman Encoder, Inverse Adder/Buffer for adding the low frequency coefficient to the high frequency one in the inverse DWT operation, and Huffman Decoder. Also there existed the interface blocks for communicating with the external application environments and the timing blocks for buffering between the internal blocks The global operations of the designed H/W are the image compression and the reconstruction, and it is operated by the unit of a field synchronized with the A/D converter. The implemented H/W used the 69%(16980) LAB(Logic Array Block) and 9%(28352) ESB(Embedded System Block) in the APEX20KC EP20K600CB652-7 FPGA chip of ALTERA, and stably operated in the 70MHz clock frequency. So we verified the real time operation of 60 fields/sec(30 frames/sec).
