This study is about e-Book program based on human-computer interaction(HCI) system for physically handicapped person. By acquiring background knowledge of HCI, we know that if we use vision-based interface we can replace current computer input devices by extracting any characteristic point and tracing it. We decided betweeneyes as a characteristic point by analyzing facial input image using webcam. But because of three-dimensional structure of glasses, the person who is wearing glasses wasn't suitable for tracing between-eyes. So we changed characteristic point to the bridge of the nose after detecting between-eyes. By using this technique, we could trace rotation of head in real-time regardless of glasses. To test this program's usefulness, we conducted an experiment to analyze the test result on actual application. Consequently, we got 96.5% rate of success for controlling e-Book under proper condition by analyzing the test result of 20 subjects.

This paper deals with the characteristics of SPMSM for hydraulic actuator according to the slot number. As a design variable, slot number affects the winding configuration and this leads to the total variation of motor characteristic. Therefore number of slot should be cautiously determined. Three SPMSMs are designed and THD of back emf, cogging torque, and torque ripple are compared. Among three SPMSMs, 36slots with 12 pole is chosen for further development considering motor characteristics and manufacturing.

This paper considers acoustic analysis of silencer within a Dry vacuum pump. Main object is noise reduction of Dry Vacuum Pump using the silencer. First, we measured SPL and Intensity for noise source identification and then, designed for the silencer corresponding with noise character. 4-pole parameter are used for predicting transmission loss which is one of characteristics of silencer when we designed for silencer. Calculated Transmission Loss to change main effective factor and selected to optimal value using Design of Experiment. Finally, noise reduction is estimated to compare existing silencer with optimal silencer.

The primary purpose of this investigation is to find out the shear behavior and the shear capacity of RC bare frames, brick-infilled RC frames, and damper-retrofitted RC frames and to evaluate the average shear strength of brick--infill wall. The main variables art the absence of brick infill wall and steel plate slit damper. The test results show that the shear capacity of specimen IF-DR is 2.8 times as high as that of the specimen BF and it presents the fact that the retrofitting effect and the possibility of RC frame reuse with changing the slit damper is verified. And the average shear strength of the brick infill wall is figured to be at $5.0 kgf/cm^2$.

Shear wall-frame system is one of the most, if not the most, popular system for resisting lateral loads. The core is the primary lateral load-resisting systems, the perimeter frame is designed for gravity loads, and the connection between perimeter frame and core is generally a shear connection. Specially, single plate shear connection have gained considerable popularity in recent years due to their ease of fabrication and erection. Single plate shear connection should be designed to satisfy the dual criteria of shear strength and rotational ductility. An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate seismic behavior of single plate shear connection. The main test variable is the reinforcing detail of connection. Through the experimental program, the cyclic behavior of typical and reinforcing single plate shear connection was established.

In general, the shear behavior mode of URM wall expresses four types of modes such as rocking failure, sliding shear failure, toe crushing failure, and diagonal tension failure. From the comparison of each equation according to the shear behavior modes, the failure modes based on the aspect ratio and vertical axial stress can be expected. The objectives of this study is to find out the shear behavior of URM wall with different aspect ratio. The test results show that the aspect ratio is understood as an important variable.

The objectives of this study is to find out the relationship of crack width and residual seismic capacity of Unreinforced Masonry(URM) walls which were damaged by earthquake. Three URM walls which made the shape ratio(1/h, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0)to be a variable were tested for the objective. It was seen that the crack width increased with growing at rotation angle. Also, this study found out that failure mode affects crack type of URM. In other words, horizontal and vertical crack was increased in rocking and sliding failure mode respectively.

The objectives of this study are to develop and evaluate the Neural Network algorithm which can predict the inelastic shortening such as the creep strain and the drying shrinkage strain of reinforced concrete members using the previous test data. New learning algorithms for the prediction of creep strain and the drying shrinkage strain are proposed focusing on input layer components and a normalization method for input data and their validity is examined through several test data. In Neural Network algorithm, the main input data to be trained are the compressive strength of the concrete, volume to surface ratio, curing condition, relative humidity, and the applied load. The results show that the new algorithms proposed herein successfully predict creep strain and the drying shrinkage strain.

In this study, the elastic modulus and the initial stresses of the rock were calculated through back analysis of in-situ displacements measured during excavation of the underground caverns. Results from back analysis were employed to determine the redistributed stresses the displacements and relaxed zone in the rock around the caverns, which supplement the geological characterization results. To verify the reliability of the back analysis program the elastic modulus and the initial stresses were obtained from inputting the displacements calculated by FEM. These were compared with the assumed normalized stresses in FEM and were in a reasonable agreement with an error of more or less than 3%.

The purpose of this study is to identify the formation of placeness in public libraries, to understand placeness of public library, and to explain its social value. This study conducted causality analysis of placeness formation in public libraries. And this study analysed the direct and indirect effects of place attachment in public libraries as a mediated factor between placeness factor and perceived place value.
