The study investigates the mechanical deformation of a newly developed screwless omega-wire dynamic system for stabilization of the spine. The omega-wire spring stabilization system was tested under tension, compression, and dynamic compressive fatigue loads. In addition, its bending deformation was compared to that of a spiral-wire spring system using FEA. A model whose hanger inter-center distance is 60 mm showed an ultimate tensile stress of 3981.7 N at a displacement of 3.61 mm and an ultimate compressive load of 535.6 N at a displacement of 2.16 mm. Under fatigue loading of 5 Hz with 10 N/1 N, it did not show any failure over 5 million cycles, and the displacement was restricted to 8-9 mm. In the FEA, the omega-wire spring system showed more flexible bending features than did the spiral-wire spring system.

In this study, a method for optimal design of impeller and diffuser blades in the centrifugal compressor using response surface method (RSM) and multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) was evaluated. A numerical simulation was conducted using ANSYS CFX with various values of impeller and diffuser parameters, which consist of leading edge (LE) angle, trailing edge (TE) angle, and blade thickness. Each of the parameters was divided into three levels. A total of 45 design points were planned using central composite design (CCD), which is one of the design of experiment (DOE) techniques. Response surfaces that were generated on the basis of the results of DOE were used to determine the optimal shape of impeller and diffuser blade. The entire process of optimization was conducted using ANSYS Design Xplorer (DX). Through the optimization, isentropic efficiency and pressure recovery coefficient, which are the main performance parameters of the centrifugal compressor, were increased by 0.3 and 5, respectively.

The Geo-Reservoir Experimental Analogue Technology (GREAT) cell was designed to recreate the thermal-hydro-mechanical conditions of deep subsurface in the laboratory. This apparatus can generate a polyaxial stress field using lateral loading elements, which rotate around the longitudinal axis of a sample and is capable of performing a fluid flow test for samples containing fractures. In the present study, numerical simulations were carried out for triaxial compression tests using the GREAT cell and the mechanical behavior of samples under different conditions of lateral loading was investigated. We simulated an actual case, in which triaxial compression tests were conducted for a polymer sample without fractures, and compared the results between the numerical analysis and experiment. The surface strain (circumferential strain) of the sample was analyzed for equal and non-equal horizontal confining pressures. The results of the comparison showed a good consistency. Additionally, for synthetic cases with a fracture, we investigated the effect of the friction and type of fracture surface on the deformation behavior.

This study was intended to identify the effect of the wetting on a long-term compression settlement of the rock/soil mixture used as fill material, depending on compaction and grading conditions. The relatively large settlement happened under the fully-submerged condition, and a repeated settlement was monitored when moisture content increased over and over again like the rainfall infiltration. In case of the materials without fine fractions or compacted in wet condition, the settlement caused by wetting was relatively low. In conclusion, the long-term compression settlement of granular (rock/soil mixture) fill material is more affected by the increase of water content and temperature change (freezing and thawing) than creep.

The compression sensing technology, CAFB, was developed to obtain the raw signal of the target structure by compressing it into a signal of the intended frequency range. At this point, for compression sensing, the CAFB can be optimized for various reference signals depending on the desired frequency range of the target structure. In addition, optimized CAFB should be able to efficiently compress the effective structural answers of the target structure even in sudden/dangerous conditions such as earthquakes. In this paper, the targeted frequency range for efficient structural integrity monitoring of relatively flexible structures was set below 10Hz, and the optimization method of CAFB for this purpose and the seismic response performance of CAFB in seismic conditions were evaluated experimentally. To this end, in this paper, CAFB was first optimized using Kobe seismic waveform, and embedded it in its own wireless IDAQ system. In addition, seismic response tests were conducted on two span bridges using Kobe seismic waveform. Finally, using an IDAQ system with built-in CAFB, the seismic response of the two-span bridge was wirelessly obtained, and the compression signal obtained was cross-referenced with the raw signal. From the results of the experiment, the compression signal showed excellent response performance and data compression effects in relation to the raw signal, and CAFB was able to effectively compress and sensitize the effective structural response of the structure even in seismic situations. Finally, in this paper, the optimization method of CAFB was presented to suit the intended frequency range (less than 10Hz), and CAFB proved to be an economical and efficient data compression sensing technology for instrumentation-monitoring of seismic conditions.

Concrete-filled steel tubular columns can improve the strength and deformation capacity of structures, thereby enabling the development of efficient structures. The Korean design standard (KDS41) regarding concrete-filled steel tubular structures, established by the architectural institute of Korea in 2005, was revised in 2009 and 2016. The objective was to understand the compressive strengths and deformation capacity of stub columns for concrete-filled square steel tubes under uniaxial compression and validate the KDS41's standard code for necessary corrections. Experiments were conducted on 26 specimens with parameters, such as the width-thickness ratio of cold-formed square tubes. The following values of the stub columns for concrete-filled square steel tubes were obtained: compressive strengths, relationship between the axial load and axial displacement, and failure modes. An analysis of these results enabled an understanding of the concrete-filled effect and the influence of the wide-thickness ratio. The compressive strengths of filled concrete saw a 9% increase compared to a state of uniaxial stress, which must be noted in a future edition of KDS41. After benchmarking the results regarding square steel tubes generated by cold forming to the guidelines provided by the KDS41, the KDS41's value of 2.26 for the limiting width-to-thickness ratio for the compact section was found to be inflated. With a safety concern, this paper proposes a more conservative value of 1.35.

본 논문은 파동분할(Wave partitioning) 방식을 이용한 순차적(Sequential) 메쉬 부호화 방식을 제안한다. 파동분할 방식은 호수에 물방울이 퍼져 나가는 자연 원리를 이용하여 초기 삼각형의 주위에 삼각형을 덧붙여 가면서 하나의 SPB(Small Processing Block)을 만들어내는 방식이다. 이 방식을 이용하여 하나의 모델을 서로 독립적인 SPB로 분할하고, 각각의 SPB 내에서 초기 삼각형을 중심으로 그것에 덧붙여진 삼각형에 의해 만들어진 원 또는 반원을 찾는다. 또한 그 원주를 따라 순차적으로 꼭지점을 구하면 각각의 꼭지점들은 일정한 패턴으로 늘어서게 되고, 이를 이용하여 연결성 정보 없이 부가 정보만 이용하여 모델을 순차적으로 무손실 부호화한다.

삼국지에서 제갈공명은 "나라를 부강하게 만들려면 국민을 교육해야 하고, 교육을 바로 하기 위해서는 사제지관계를 바로 해야 한다"고 말했다. 관계라는 것은 사람을 다루는 모든 사람들에게 요청되는 핵심이다. 사회가 건강하기 위해서는 각 구성요소가 상호 연관할 수 있는 관계적 합리성을 통해서 균형과 조화를 이루어야 한다. '나'라는 존재가 '너'와 소통하지 못하고 또 기업이 사회와도 소통하지 못한다면, 자기중심적이고 자폐적으로 되어간다면 결국 병들기 마련이다. 육체적 건강이든 정신적 건강이든 혹은 사회적 건강이든 관건은 '통'과 '불통'의 문제로 압축된다.

지구온난화의 주요 주범인 $CO_2$의 감축을 위해 자동차 연비 및 배출허용기준등을 전 세계적으로 강화하고 있으며 이에따라 선진국에서는 Super Car 및 3L Car Project등을 통해 초저연비자동차 개발을 추진하고 있다. 이런 추세에 따라 압축비가 높아 연소효율이 좋고 연표경제성이 가솔린엔진보다 우수한 경유엔진은 $CO_2$ 배출이 적어 향후 그 보급이 더욱 확대될 것으로 기대되고 있다.(중략)

방송 서비스는 이제 디지털 시대를 맞이하여 일대 패러다임의 변화를 겪고 있다. 전 세계는 본격적인 디지털 방송 시대를 맞이하고 있으며, 새로운 반송 환경에서는 기존의 서비스와는 비교할 수 없을 정도로 향상된 품질의 오디오비쥬얼 데이터를 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 시청자의 요구에 적절히 대응하는 대화형 멀티미디어 방송 서비스 제공이 가능해 진다. 이러한 방송 분야의 눈부신 발전에는 국제 표준화 기구인 ISO/IEC 산하의 동영상 전문가 그룹인 MPEG의 표준기술 개발이 큰 원동력이 되고 있다. 본 고에서는 대화형 방송의 개념과 기술을 중심으로 현재 진행되고 있는 방송 기술의 변화를 살펴보고, 객체 지반의 데이터 압축, 처리, 전송을 가능하게 하는 MPEG-4 및 내용 기반 검색 및 필터링을 가능하게 하는 MPEG-7 기술의 개념 및 방송 서비스 적용에 대해 검토해보기로 한다.
