Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is powerful tool for determining properties of samples based on interactions between the sample surface and an approaching probe tip. In this study, we modeled the interactions between the sample and the tip of the AFM microcantilever as a single nonlinear spring with an equivalent stiffness element and simulated the dynamic behaviors of the AFM microcantilevers using the finite element method (FEM) and ANSYS software. With the simulation results, we analyzed the complex dynamic responses of the AFM cantilever using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). In addition, we compared the simulation and experimental results using the same method. Consequently, we suggest an effective method to express the interaction between the tip and sample, and we confirm that the influence of the higher order model due to the interaction between the tip and sample is increased.

Considerable efforts have been made to expand the boundaries of domestic offshore plant industries, which have focused on the construction of the structures, to the engineering field. On the other hand, time domain analysis, which is one of the most important areas in designing floating offshore plants, relies mainly on the information given by foreign companies. As an early design of the Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) is mostly conducted by several specialized companies, domestic ship builders need to spend time and money to reflect the analysis into the hull shape design. This paper presents the framework required to analyze time domain performance of floating type offshore structures, which are equipped with DPS. To easily perform time domain analysis, framework generates the required input data for the solver, and is modularized to test the control algorithm and performance of a certain DPS. The effectiveness of the developed framework was verified by a simulation with a model ship and the total time for the entire analysis work was reduced by 50% or more.

Recently, the damage of the farmhouse has been increased due to frequent collapsing accidents of the pipe greenhouse caused by the heavy snow load derived from unusual weather phenomena. However, the study about it is rare and tenuous so that the damage is happened repeatedly. Although there are a few ways to improve the greenhouse such as increasing section, decreasing the distance between rafters in order to avoid the collapsing accidents, those ways have some shortcomings like cost and frame ratio increase, etc. Therefore, this study performed the large displacement analysis considering geometric non-linearity on each load level with respect to many kind of reinforcement methods and analyzed combined strength ratio and stress so as to search the ways, which enhance the structural stability of greenhouse and minimize the frame ratio increase. As a result, this paper is aimed at suggesting the optimal reinforcement method model.

The objective of this study was to investigate features of transverse crack occurrence and propagation in continuously reinforced concrete pavement(CRCP) when subjected to environmental loading. The finite element model of CRCP was developed and the element removal method was implemented to predict the crack propagation process. To investigate the effect of the type of environmental loading on the CRCP behavior and cracking aspects, the following three different cases were considered: (1) the temperature gradient between top and bottom of the slab does not vary and the constant temperature drop throughout the depth occurs; (2) the temperature at the slab bottom does not vary and the temperature gradient increases; and (3) the temperature between the mid-depth and the bottom of the slab is the same and does not vary and the temperature at the top decreases. The analysis results showed that the crack occurrence and propagation through the depth of the slab in CRCP were significantly affected by the type of environmental loading. The changes in stress distribution and displacements during the crack occurrence and propagation process could also be investigated.

Reduction 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene by zero valent iron was studied in a batch reactor under anoxic conditions. Results showed that the removal of trinitrotoluene (TNT)followed a pseudo-first order reaction and the rate was linearly dependent on the available reactive surfau area of the zero valent iron surface area, resulting a rate constant of 0.0981min$^{1}m$$^{-2}m$. High concentrations of the final product, presumably triaminotoluene which needs to be treated by other means, accumulated in the solution. However , little amount of TAT was extracted from the metal surface by using acetonitrile or phosphate buffered water (pH 7.0). Other common major intermediate in biological TNT degradation, a group of aminodinitrotoluenes, was not detected in the solution. Therefore, it is postulated that the reduction of nitro group by $Fe^0$ occurs simultaneously in all three positions and a TNT reduction model by zero valent iron was suggested.

국내에서 기존건축물의 내진성능평가 기법이 연구되기 시작한지 20여 년간 다양한 평가방법이 제안되었다. 그러나, 제안된 평가방법은 미국이나 일본의 평가 방법을 도입 및 수정하는 내용이 주가 되어 국내실정에 맞지 않는 부분도 많이 발견되었다. 따라서 국내에서 제안된 기존 건축물의 내진성능 평가기법, 지진피해예측에 근거한 보강건축물의 합리적인 선정방법 및 이들 건축물에 적합한 내진보강방법 등의 연구는 아직까지 초보적인 단계라고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 평가 기법을 적용한 국내 저층구조물의 내진성능을 평가하는 것이다. 저층구조물의 내진성능을 평가하기 위하여 1988년 내진설계가 도입되기 이전에 건립된 4층 규모의 학교구조물을 해석대상 구조물로 선정하였다. 대상 해석구조물의 내진성능평가는 일본의 내진성능 평가법을 참고하여 평가절차가 다소 복잡한 부분을 국내 실정에 맞게 개선시킨 내진화 우선도 평가방법과 정밀한 내진성능을 평하는 방법으로 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 ATC-40 성능평가방법에서 등가단자유 모델로 변환 과정에서 등가유효감쇠 및 등가유효주기 산정 관계식의 문제점을 개선한 FEMA-440의 선형화 성능평가방법(Linearization Method)을 사용하여 구조물의 성능을 평가하였다. 내진 성능 평가를 위해 현재 전 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 구조물 비선형 전용 해석 프로그램인 Perform-3D를 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 저층구조물로 선정한 학교구조물에 대한 내진성능을 평가한 결과, 내진화 우선도 평가법 및 FEMA-440의 내진성능 평가는 유사한 경향의 결과를 나타내었고, 두 평가결과를 요약하면 Y방향은 보와 기둥에 끼인 조적벽체의 영향으로 별도의 내진성능이 향상 보강이 필요없으나, X방향은 창문하부 허리 조적벽 등의 영향으로 다소 취성적인 내진성능을 보유하고 있어 충분한 내진성능 확보를 위한 추가적인 보강이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we have constructed phoneme discriminant filters [PDF] according to the linear discriminant function. These discriminant filters do not follow the heuristic rules by the experts but the mathematical methods in iterative learning. Proposed system. is based on the piecewise linear classifier and error correction learning method. The segmentation of speech and the classification of phoneme are carried out simutaneously by the PDF. Because each of them operates independently, some speech intervals may have multiple outputs. Therefore, we introduce the unified coefficients by the output unification process. But sometimes the output has a region which shows no response, or insensitive. So we propose time windows and median filters to remove such problems. We have trained this system with the 549 monosyllables uttered 3 times by 3 male speakers. After we detect the endpoint of speech signal using threshold value and zero crossing rate, the vowels and consonants are separated by the PDF, and then selected phoneme passes through the following PDF. Finally this system unifies the outputs for competitive region or insensitive area using time window and median filter.

The in-duct acoustical sources of fluid machines are often characterized by the source impedance and strength using the linear time-invariant model. However, negative resistances, which are physically unreasonable, have been found throughout various measurements of the source properties in IC-engines and compressors. In this paper, the effects of the time-varying nature of fluid machines on the source characteristics are studied analytically. For this purpose, the simple fluid machine consisting of a reciprocating piston and an exhaust is considered as representing a typical periodic, time-varying system and the equivalent circuits are analyzed. Simulated measurements using the analytic solutions show that the time-varying nature in the actual sources is one of the main causes of the negative source resistances. It is also found that, for the small magnitude of the time-varying component, the source radiates large acoustic power if the piston operates at twice the natural frequency of the static system. or integral submultiples of that rate.

In this paper, a new modeling method of a magnetic levitation(Maglev) system using extreme learning machine(ELM) is proposed. The linearized methods using Taylor Series expansion has been used for modeling of a Maglev system. However, the numerical method has some drawbacks when dealing with the components with high nonlinearity of a Maglev system. To overcome this problem, we propose a new modeling method of the Maglev system with electro magnetic suspension, which is based on ELM with fast learning time than conventional neural networks. In the proposed method, the initial input weights and hidden biases of the method are usually randomly chosen, and the output weights are analytically determined by using Moore-Penrose generalized inverse. matrix Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve better performance for modeling of Maglev system than the previous numerical method.

The quantitative analyses and the mechanical interpretation of discontinuity planes are the most important factor for the study of strength and deformation properties of rock masses containing discontinuity planes. However, the relationship between the factors investigated in the field and the actual mechanical properties of discontinuity planes is not fully understood. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of density, length, and spacing of joints on elastic modulus of rock masses as these values vary. A new parameter which has a direct relation with the elastic modulus of discontinuity planes is also preposed in this study. The combination of finite element methods and homogenization methods has been used for the numerical analyses of a uintcell with discontinuity planes, which is generated using random-number generation methods. The elastic modulus of the discontinuity plane is found from the numerical analyses. The final results propose not only the relation between the investigation parameters of discontinuity planes and the elastic modulus of rock masses but also a new parameter, an effect area ratio having a linear relation with the elastic modulus of rock masses.
