Gas energy facilities which are located in urban areas have been shown as terrifying objects to the people who live nearby, because of increasing recent disastrous accidents. So, it is essential to develop a integrated safety management system including quantitative risk assessment in order to predict and to reduce the effect of gas accidents. In this study, the framework of synthesized QRA(Quantitative Risk Assessment) considering the recent situation and condition was established in order to provide proper models for analysing gas accidents. The deviation of LPG storage facilities was described and then supposed incident scenarios were provided. Procedures which could assess the risk of facilities according to incident scenarios were showed and the practical application of individual risk was suggested in order to represent the quantified risk. And, a user-friendly computer program was developed to implement these methods at the same time.

전 세계적으로 환경 보호의 차원에서 자동차 업체는 자동차의 연비 향상을 위한 차체의 경량화가 큰 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 이를 위해 알루미늄과 같은 경량화 소재를 이용하여 차체 조립에 투입하고자 연구 중에 있다. 이와 같은 레이저 용접 공정이 현장에 적용되기 위해서는 용접부의 품질을 실시간으로 모니터링하고 품질을 판단하여야 생산성을 극대화 할 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 AA5182 알루미늄 판재의 용가 와이어를 이용한 레이저 용접에서 용접부를 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였다. 이를 위하여 레이저는 4kW급 Nd:YAG 레이저를 사용하였고, 차체용 알루미늄 판재 AA5182 1.4t를 AA5356 와이어를 이용하여 용접을 수행하였다. 모니터링 센서로는 반응 범위가 190 mn~680 nm인 센서를 이용하였고, 용접 중 센서로부터 발생된 출력전류를, 신호 증폭기와 DAQ 보드를 통해 초당 10,000 samples/sec로 계측하였다. 다양한 용접조건을 이용하여 실험을 수행하였고 이를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 계측된 신호와 용접 품질은 비선형적 관계를 가지고 있으므로 본 연구에서는 용접 품질을 예측하는 방법으로 퍼지 패턴인식 알고리즘을 이용하는 방법과 계측 신호를 이용한 인장강도 예측모델을 이용하여 병렬로 품질평가를 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 이를 위하여 계측된 신호와 용접 품질과의 관계를 이용하여 퍼지 규칙 베이스 정의하였고, 신경회로망 모델을 이용하여 인장강도 예측모델을 제시하였다. 또한 품질 평가 알고리즘을 기반으로 레이저 용접부의 품질평가가 가능한 GUI 프로그램을 구현하였다.

An accurate hysteresis model of an elastomer is important for quantifying viscoelastic energy loss. We suggest a highly nonlinear hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model of elastomers. The model captures a nonlinear viscoelastic characteristic by combining Yeoh's hyperelastic model and Hoofatt's hysteresis model used Neo-Hookean hyperelastic model. Analytical and numerical models were generated from uniaxial cyclic tests of an elastomer under a sinusoidal load with a mean strain of 150%, amplitudes of 20~80%, and frequencies of 0.02~0.2Hz. The viscoelastic model can highly capture the viscoelastic energy loss up to a strain of 230%.

In this paper, we present a received signal strength (RSS) prediction model to timely Initiate link layer triggers for fast handoff in a wireless LAN system. Noting that the distance between a mobile terminal and an access point is not changed abruptly in a short time interval, an adaptive RSS predictor based on a stationary time series model is proposed. RSS data obtained from ns-2 simulations are used to identity the time series model and verify the predictability of the RSS data. The results suggest that an autoregressive process of order 1 (AR(1)) can be used to represent the measured RSSs in a short time interval and predict at least 1-step ahead RSS with a high confidence level.

This study presents a technique to control quantitatively lateral drift of RC tall frameworks subject to lateral loads. To this end, lateral drift constraints are established by introducing approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems. Also the relationships of sectional properties are established to reduce the number of design variables and resizing technique of member is developed under the 'constant-shape' assumption. Specifically, the methodology of dynamic displacement sensitivity analysis is developed to formulate the approximated lateral displacement constraints. Three types of 10 and 50 story RC framework models are considered to illustrate the features of dynamic stiffness-based optimal design technique proposed in this study.

Approaches to spatial analysis differ from the type of spatial objects to be treated. Especially, in here, the case where two spatial data sets coexist is considered. The goal of such case lies on detecting a subset of spatial objects out of a large set that affects the distribution of the other object. However, it is not easy to extract a subset from a large set by visualization just with the help of GIS since huge amount of data are provided nowadays. In this research, therefore, relationship between two different spatial data are analyzed by quantitative measure in the case study of marketing geography. A purchase history data of a small retail store and the location of its competitors are given as source data for the analysis. The goal of analysis from the aspect of this case study is to extract strong competitors of the store that affects the sales amount of the store among many competitors. With the result, therefore, it is expected that market area pattern and competitive power of stores under micro scale retail environment would be understood by quantitative measure.

In this study, we prepared a pigmented skin model, KeraSkin-M^TM for the in vitro evaluation of whitening agents. For the purpose of complementing the existing mono-layer cell culture testing method, KeraSkin-M^TM was produced through the co-culture of human skin-derived keratinocytes and melanocytes. The efficacy of four well-known whitening agents (arbutin, ascorbic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide) was evaluated in KeraSkin-M^TM in order to assess its usefulness in assessing whitening efficacy. As a result, it was possible to observe additional details such as the distribution of melanin granules and melanin capping in each skin layer through KeraSkin-M^TM, which was previously difficult to assess in the traditional 2D cell culture system. In addition, quantification through image analysis of KeraSkin-M^TM allowed for a statistical analysis of the whitening effects. These results suggest that the KeraSkin-M^TM can be used as a new evaluation method of evaluating whitening efficacy, as well as complement the traditional total melanin content and tyrosinase inhibition assays.

Nowadays the rapid change in construction environment getting more globalized and complicated has caused lots of unexpected risks from inside and out of the country, so more sophisticated construction management strategies are being strongly needed. This paper suggests a risk management model with which we can estimate the appropriate contingency by quantifying the amount of probable risks immanent in large construction projects, which have a high degree of uncertainty in the anticipation of the total construction cost. To develop the model, the risk factors that make cost variations are elicited based on the real data of the contingencies assigned to the past projects. Furthermore, the influential relationship of risk factors is structured by applying the CRM(Cost Risk Model) which is the synthetic model of Monte Carlo Simulation, Influence Diagram and Decision Tree. The ultimate outcome of this research can by validated by tile case study with a large construction project performed.

This study was carried out to find reliable relations between various concrete strength properties which are used as input data in concrete pavement design program. Concretes were made from different sources of coarse grained(granite, limestone and sandstone) and fine grained aggregates such as natural sand, washed sand and crushed sand. From strength test results, model equations were obtained based on the relation between strengths. For each coarse grained aggregate, models for compression-flexural strengths, compression-split tensile strengths, compressive strength-modulus and flexural-split tensile strengths with age were obtained. For concrete mixed with gneiss granite aggregates, concrete strengths were obtained from numerical mean values of concrete strengths mixed with fine grained aggregates. In addition models for concrete split tensile strengths and modulus values were provide by averaging numerically the estimated values obtained from the derived relationship and the experimental values. This is due to more scattered values of split tensile strengths and modulus values than other strength properties. Finally criteria for drying shrinkage strain as well as Poisson's ratio for concrete used in pavement were presented for all mixes with differed coarse grained aggregates.
