Tsunami take away life, wash houses away and bring devastation to social infrastructures such as breakwaters, bridges and ports. The targeted coastal structure object in this study can be damaged mainly by the tsunami force together with foundation ground failure due to scouring and liquefaction. The increase of excess pore water pressure composed of oscillatory and residual components may reduce effective stress and, consequently, the seabed may liquefy. If liquefaction occurs in the seabed, the structure may sink, overturn, and eventually increase the failure potential. In this study, the solitary wave was generated using 2D-NIT(Two-Dimensional Numerical Irregular wave Tank) model, and the dynamic wave pressure acting on the seabed and the estimated surface boundary of the vertical revetment. Simulation results were used as an input data in a finite element computer program(FLIP) for elasto-plastic seabed response. The time and spatial variations in excess pore water pressure, effective stress, seabed deformation, structure displacement and liquefaction potential in the seabed were estimated. From the results of the analysis, the stability of the vertical revetment was evaluated.

A multi-scale fatigue life prediction methodology of composite pressure vessels subjected to multi-axial loading has been proposed in this paper. The multi-scale approach starts from the constituents, fiber, matrix and interface, leading to predict behavior of ply, laminates and eventually the composite structures. The multi-scale fatigue life prediction methodology is composed of two steps: macro stress analysis and micro mechanics of failure based on fatigue analysis. In the macro stress analysis, multi-axial fatigue loading acting at laminate is determined from finite element analysis of composite pressure vessel, and ply stresses are computed using a classical laminate theory. The micro stresses are calculated in each constituent from ply stresses using a micromechanical model. Three methods are employed in predicting fatigue life of each constituent, i.e. a maximum stress method for fiber, an equivalent stress method for multi-axially loaded matrix, and a critical plane method for the interface. A modified Goodman diagram is used to take into account the generic mean stresses. Damages from each loading cycle are accumulated using Miner's rule. Monte Carlo simulation has been performed to predict the overall fatigue life of a composite pressure vessel considering statistical distribution of material properties of each constituent, fiber volume fraction and manufacturing winding angle.

In this study, mechanical property on the composite material of aluminum foam core is investigated by simulation analysis. Impact energies such as 50J, 70J, and 100J are applied to the specimen model. The maximum load occurs at 3.4ms for 50J, 3.2ms for 70J, and 3.2ms for 100J respectively. The striker penetrates the upper face sheet, causing the core to be damaged at 50J test but the lower face sheet remains intact with no damage. It results in occurring with the energy of 52 J. At 70J test, it penetrates the upper face sheet and penetrated the core. And the striker causes the lower face sheet with damage. And it results in occurring with the energy of 65 J. Finally at 100J test, the striker penetrated both the upper face sheet and core and even the lower face sheet. The load becomes maximum at the time when striker penetrates through the upper plate and it rapidly reduced. And then the load increases rapidly when reaching the lower face sheet. And it decreases again. It results in occurring with the energy of 95 J.

The LCD frame is an important part which supports the BLU of medium/large sized TFT-LCD. To produce it efficiently, it is necessary to achieve the molding process improvement from 1 cavity to 2 cavity system. Because 2 cavity mold is compact and its hot-runner zone is broadened, it is difficult to control the temperature on the mold. In this study, injection molding analysis on the frame in 2 cavity process with FEA(Finite Element Analysis) software is carried out to estimate its quality. The calculated injection molding pressures and maximum deflection in 1 and 2 cavity processes are 41.13 MPa and 1.62 mm, 40.49 MPa and 1.66 mm respectively. The measured maximum flexure load and surface roughness of the left and right frame of 2 cavities are 209 N and 0.08 ${\mu}m$, 193 N and 0.10 ${\mu}m$ while those in 1 cavity are 140 N and 0.13 ${\mu}m$. Thermal image shows that the maximum standard deviation of the temperature on left and right side of 2 cavity mold is $1.23^{\circ}C$. The simulation and measurement results show that the quality of the frame in 2 cavity injection molding process as a whole is not worse than that of 1 cavity system. But maximum flexure loads of the frame in 2 cavity process are far greater than that in 1 cavity process.

When a radial wheel is placed so as to partially overlap a conductive plate and rotated, a lift force is generated on the wheel, a thrust force along the edge, and a lateral force which tends to reduce the overlap region. When several of these wheels are combined, it is possible to realize a system in which the stability of the remaining axes is ensured, except in the traveling direction. To validate the overall characteristics of the multi-wheel system, we propose a transfer system levitated magnetically using radial electrodynamic wheels. The proposed system is floated and propelled by four wheels and arranged in a structure that allows the thrusts generated by the front and rear wheels to offset each other. The dynamic stability of the wheel and the effect of the pole number on the three-axial forces are analyzed by the finite element method. At this time, the thrust and levitation force are strongly coupled, and the only factor affecting them is the wheel rotation speed. Therefore, in order to control these two forces independently, we make use of the fact that the ratio of the thrust to the levitation force is proportional to the velocity and is independent of the size of the gap. The in-plane and out-of-plane motion control of the system is achieved by this control method and compared with the simulation results. The experimental results show that the coupled degrees of freedom can be effectively controlled by the wheel speed alone.

Continuous body temperature monitoring is useful and essential in diverse medical procedures such as infection onset detection, therapeutic hypothermia, circadian rhythm monitoring, sleep disorder assessment, and gynecological research. However, the existing thermometers are too invasive or intrusive to be applied to long-term body temperature monitoring. In our previous study, we invented the bi-medium deep body thermometer which can noninvasively and continuously monitor deep tissue temperature. And the ratio of thermal resistances expressed as K-value should be obtained to estimate body temperature with the thermometer and it can be different under various measurement environments. Although the device was proven to be useful through preliminary simulation test and small group of human study, the experimental environment was restrictive in our previous approach. In this study, a finite element simulation was executed to obtain the K-value and evaluate the accuracy of bi-medium thermometer under various measurement environments. In addition, K-value estimation equation was developed by analyzing the influence of 5 measurement environmental factors (medium length, medium height, tissue depth, blood perfusion rate, and ambient temperature) on K-value. The results revealed that the estimation accuracy of bi-medium deep body thermometer based on computer simulation was very high (RMSE < $0.003^{\circ}C$) in various measurement environments. Also, bi-medium deep body thermometer based on K-value estimation equation showed relatively accurate results (RMSE < $0.3^{\circ}C$) except for one case. Although the K-value estimation technology should be improved for more accurate body temperature estimation, the results of finite element simulation showed that bi-medium deep body thermometer could accurately measure various tissue temperatures under diverse environments.

전자제품의 다양한 기능들의 융복합화 및 휴대 편의성 경향은 이제 더 이상 새로운 것이 아니다. 이러한 추세에 따라 전자부품들은 모듈화 되고, 휴대하기 용이해 지고 있다. 또한 다양한 제품 디자인에 적용하기 위해 제품에 장착되는 부품의 기구적 위치 배열의 한계 또한 제약 받고 있다. 따라서 최근의 전자부품은 모듈화 되고 있으며, 기구적 한계를 극복하기 위한 Flexible 모듈의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 또한 양산측면에서 Roll-to-Roll(R2R) 방식을 적용함으로써 생산성을 극대화 하고 있다. 이때 R2R 적용을 위해서는 제품이 굴곡 될 수 있도록 유연성이 보장되는 Bendable 전자모듈의 개발이 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. Flexible 기판은 더 이상 새로운 기술이 아니지만, Felxible 기판 내부에 칩이 내장되고, 회로가 형성되어 자체적으로 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 한 Bendable 전자모듈을 R2R 방식으로 제조하는 기술은 매우 새로운 접근이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 기술개발이 현실화 된다면, Wearable Electronics 및 Flexible Display 등 다양한 전자제품에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 이러한 제품의 상용화를 위해서는 Bendable 전자모듈에 대한 신뢰성이 확보되고, 제품으로써의 수명이 보증되어야 한다. 신규 개발되는 제품의 신뢰성 검증항목이나 수명평가 모델은 현재까지 제안되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 또한 다양한 사용 환경에서 고장(Failure) 발생을 유발하는 스트레스 인자(Stress Factor)를 도출함으로써, 가속시험 또는 신뢰성 검증을 위한 인가 스트레스를 선정할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 고장물리를 기반으로 스트레스 인자를 해석한 결과는 아직 보고되고 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $50{\mu}m$ 두께의 Si Chip에 저항변화를 관찰하기 위한 회로를 형성한 후 폴리이미드 기판을 이용하여 Si Chip이 임베딩된 Bendable 전자모듈을 제작하였다. 전자모듈의 실사용 환경에서의 수명예측을 위한 사전단계로써 고장물리에 기반한 고장모드와 고장메카니즘을 해석하는 것이 최우선 수행되어야 하며, 이를 바탕으로 고장을 유발하는 스트레스 인자를 도출 하였다. 고장도출을 위해 시제품은 JEDEC J-STD-020C의 MSL시험, 고온가압시험, 열충격시험 및 고온저장시험을 각각 수행하였으며, 이로부터 발생된 각각의 고장유형을 분석함으로써 스트레스 인자를 도출하였다. 또한 모아레(Moire) 간섭계를 이용하여 제작된 샘플의 온도변화에 따른 변형해석을 수행하였고, 동시에 Half Symetry Model을 이용한 유한요소해석(FEA)을 수행하여 변형해석 및 스트레스 유발원인을 도출하였다. 이 결과로 부터 고장물리 기반의 고장해석과 Moire 분석 그리고 시뮬레이션 해석 결과를 바탕으로 Bendable 전자모듈의 고장유발 스트레스 인자를 해석할 수 있었다.

In bistatic sonar operation, the scattering strength of a sonar target is characterized by the probe signal frequency, the aspect angle and the bistatic angle. Therefore, the target detection and identification performance of the bistatic sonar may vary depending on how the positions of the target, sound source, and receiver are changed during sonar operation. In this study, it was evaluated which variable is advantageous to change by comparing the target identification performance between the case of changing the aspect angle and the case of changing the bistatic angle during the operation. A scenario of identifying a hollow sphere and a cylinder was assumed, and performance was compared by classifying two targets with a support vector machine and comparing their accuracy using a finite element method-based acoustic scattering simulation. As a result of comparison, using the scattering strength defined by the frequency and the bistatic angle with the aspect angle fixed showed superior average classification accuracy. It means that moving the receiver to change the bistatic angle is more effective than moving the sound source to change the aspect angle for target identification.
