With the application of k-space trajectory in a different manner and analyzing the influence of noise and its direction, this study was conducted to obtain high-quality images with minimal influence of noise during an MRI examination for cerebrovascular disease, which has a low signal for imaging. To evaluate influence of the noise of different k-space trajectories, a linear Cartesian coordination trajectory and non-Cartesian coordination trajectory were applied to 38 people who had received a high-resolution MRI examination for the early detection of cerebrovascular disease. As a result, the non-Cartesian coordination trajectory showed a 43.32% lower signal of lumens in the internal carotid artery than a linear Cartesian coordination trajectory, and the noise level was also 50.19% lower in a non-Cartesian coordination trajectory. This result shows that noise occurs less in a non-Cartesian coordination trajectory than a linear Cartesian coordination trajectory, and a non-Cartesian coordination trajectory is more effective in low-signal and low-resolution MRI examination. Therefore, when performing high-resolution MRI examination with a low-signal cerebrovascular system, the use of non-Cartesian coordination k-space trajectory will minimize the influence of noise and provide good images.

This paper presents the results of study of linear oscillating electric machine; Cartesian, cylindrical type with permanent magnet, flux reversal, cylindrical reluctance, and transverse flux type. The focus of the work is the suggestion of the characteristics and design process of propose topology, respectively. First of all, there are five types of the proposed to this study on the basis of the existing literatures; Cartesian type, cylindrical type, flux reversal type, cylindrical reluctance type, and transverse flux type. All topology is achieved using equivalent magnetic circuit considering leakage elements as initial modeling. Cartesian type is investigated by number of phases and number of pole pairs using optimal process. A cylindrical type is described by number of phases and displacement of stroke. The flux reversal type is proposed based on the symmetrical and non symmetrical stator cores of the surface mounted PMs mover, and non slanted PMs and slanted PMs of the flux concentrating PMs mover. A cylindrical reluctance type is studied by the shape of mover teeth in geometric aspect to reduce force ripple and increase magnetic flux. A transverse flux type is considered by dividing the transverse flux electric excited and the transverse flux permanent magnet excited. It is significant that the study gives a design rules and features of linear oscillating electric machine.

In this paper, the comparison between UPML and Liao's absorbing boundary condition in the FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method was performed for the analysis of the 2D cylindrical coordinate system. Generally, it is known as the absorbing characteristics of the UPML is bro than Liao's absorbing boundary condition in the 2D rectangular coordinate. The simulation results in this paper showed that Liao's original absorbing boundary condition is better than other two absorbing boundary conditions, Liao's modified condition and UPML. We concluded that more numerical, theoretical studies, simulations and verifications for various absorbing boundary conditions will be needed to get more accurate results for the design of useful 2D cylindrical microwave circuits.

본 연구에서는 난류경계층 압력유동을 받는 구조물의 탄성응력파의 전파특성을 파동역할을 이용하여 해석하였다. 기존의 연구에서는 직각좌표계를 이용하여 난류운동이 동일한 한 방향으로 흐르는 경우에 대해 탄성응력파의 전파특성을 해석하였으나, 본 연구에서는 유체가 구조물의 표면에 수직으로 입사하여 방사형으로 흘러나갈 경우에 발생하는 탄성응력파의 전파 특성을 극좌표계를 이용하여 해석하였다. 또한 기초 구조물의 깊이방향으로 전파되는 탄성응력파를 감소시키기 위해 기초구조물의 표면에 접착시키는 탄성중합체층을 설계하는데 보다 효율적으로 응용할 수 있는 단순화된 1자유도계 모델을 유도하였다.

본 논문은 교량의 안전진단을 위한 각 부재의 명명체계에 따라 직선형 교량모델의 각 부재에 대한 솔리드 객체의 고유번호를 일괄적으로 부여하기 위한 방법론을 제시한다. 개발된 방법론은 크게 3 단계의 프로세스로 이루어진다. 먼저, 부재의 종류별로 구분된 레이어로부터 각 부재에 대한 솔리드 객체의 도심을 추출하고, 이를 시점과 종점으로 이루어진 교축방향을 축으로 한 국부좌표계에 대해 변환한다. 이후 교축방향으로 정렬되는 객체를 식별하여 그룹핑하고 이를 교축 및 교축의 직각방향으로 순서로 정렬한다. 마지막으로 각 그룹 내 세그먼트들을 교축방향으로 정렬한다. 개발된 방법론에 따른 시범 응용모듈을 개발하였으며, 트러스 구조와 서로 다른 모델 좌표계를 가진 시범 교량모델을 대상으로 추출된 그룹의 개수와 각 객체의 명칭을 원래의 모델과 비교하여 그 적용성을 검토하였다.

아이크 용접용 로봇은 작업환경의 개선, 생산성의 향상, 품질의 보증 등과 용접공정에 있어서의 생인화, 생력화 등을 목적으로 해서 아아크 용접 로봇의 개발에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있는데, 특히 박판과 소물부품용의 범용로봇과 다량생산을 위한 전용로봇이 주류를 이루고 있다. 아아크 용접 로봇의 형태는 직교좌표계, 원통화표계,극좌표계 등과 관절형이 있으나 이것을 크게 나누어 직각좌표행과 관절형으로 분류가 되겠다. 그런데 우리는 아아크 용접작업이라는 관점에서 볼 때, 사람이 용접 토오치를 손에 잡고 용접하는 동작과 같은 모양으로 동작이 되는 관절형 로봇을 많이 사용하고 있다. 용접용 로봇은 숙련된 용접사의 역할을 해야 하기 때문에 로봇은 필요로 하는 요건은 물론, 용접사의 기량 즉 용접토오치를 손에 잡고 용접할 때처럼 토오치 각도와 토 오치의 위치, 운봉요령 등이 원하는대로 동작이 되어야 한다.

일반 해양 구조물이나 해저면에 설치되는 해저 관로는 외력에 의한 변형이 발생된다. 구조물 형상이 복잡하거나, 구성 요소의 개수가 많을 경우 응력해석 시 많은 초기값이 필요하고 해석 시간 또는 장 시간 소요된다. 해양 구조물에 작용하는 대표적인 외력은 파도, 조류, 바람이고 이런 외력은 구조물의 사용 기간(operation life)동안 계속적으로 작용하기 때문에 구조물의 변형율은 항상 허용치 안에서 발생되도록 설계되어야 한다. 허용 변형은 탄성범위 내에 존재해야 하며, 비교적 큰 변형을 일으키는 구조물이나 해저파이프라인의 응력해석을 수치적으로 접근하는 방법을 고찰하였다. 평행상태의 하중 벡터값만 직각 좌표계에서 인트린직(intrinsic) 좌료로 변환시킬 때 변형이 발생함으로, 본 논문에서 소개하는 이차 요소(quadratic element)방법을 사용할 경우 수치해석 시 많은 장점이 있다는 것을 보여준다. 본 방법을 도입함으로써 비교적 큰 변형이 발생되는 구조물 해석 시 일반 수치해석 방법과 그 결과는 같으나 해석 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 응력 해석 시 국부 강도 행열(element stiffness matrix)은 방향과 무관하며 이차요소 방법을 사용하여 각 요소 벡터를 발생시켰다. 해저관로 일점 상승 시 관로에 작용하는 변형과 상승력에 따른 휨 모멘트를 산출하여 일반적으로 사용되는 선형이론과 비교하였다.

As one of the methods to ameliorate the ray effects which are the nature of anomalous computational effects due to the discretization of the angular variable in discrete ordinates approximations, a computational program, named TWODET (TWO dimensional Discrete Element Transport), has developed in 2 dimensional cartesian coordinates system using the discrete elements method, in which the discrete angle quadratures are steered by the spatially dependent angular fluxes. The results of the TWODET calculation with K-2, L-3 discrete angular quadratures, in the problem of a centrally located, isotropically emitting flat source in an absorbing square, are shown to be more accurate than that of the DOT 4.3 calculation with S-10 full symmetry angular quadratures, in remedy of the ray effect at the edge flux distributions of the square. But the computing time of the TWODET is about 4 times more than that of the DOT 4.3. In the problem of vacuum boundaries just outside of the source region in an absorbing square, the results of the TWODET calculation are shown severely anomalous ray effects, due to the sudden discontinuity between the source and the vacuum, like as the results of the DOT 4.3 calculation. In the probelm of an external source in an absorbing square in which a highly absorbing medium is added, the results of the TWODET calculation with K-3, L-4 show a good ones like as, somewhat more than, that of the DOT 4.3 calculation with S-10.

A computational program ［TDET］ of the particle transport equation is developed on radiation shielding problem in two-dimensional cartesian geometry based on the discrete element method. Not like the ordinary discrete ordinates method, the quadrature set of angles is not fixed but steered by the spatially dependent angular fluxes. The angular dependence of the scattering source term in the particle transport equation is described by series expansion in spherical harmonics, and the energy dependence of the particles is considered as well. Three different benchmark tests are made for verification of TDET : For the ray effect analysis on a square absorber with a flat isotropic source, the results of TDET calculation are quite well conformed to those of MORSE-CG calculation while TDET ameliorates the ray effect more effectively than S$_{N}$ calculation. In the analysis of the streaming leakage through a narrow vacuum duct in a shield, TDET shows conspicuous and remarkable results of streaming leakage through the duct as well as MORSE-CG does, and quite better than S$_{N}$ calculation. In a realistic reactor shielding situation which treats in two cases of the isotropic scattering and of linearly anisotropic scattering with two groups of energy, TDET calculations show local ray effect between neighboring meshes compared with S$_{N}$ calculations in which the ray effect extends broadly over several meshes.eshes.

A dynamically-interfaced multi-grid finite difference model for simulation of tsunamis in the East Sea(Choi et al.) was established and further applied to produce detailed feature of coastal inundations along the whole eastern coast of Korea. The computational domain is composed of several sub-regions with different grid sizes connected in parallel of inclined directions with 16 innermost nested models. The innermost sub-region represents the coastal alignment reasonably well and has a grid size of about 30 meters. Numerical simulations have been performed in the framework of shallow-water equations(linear, as well as nonlinear) over the plane or spherical coordinate system, depending on the dimensions of the sub-region. Results of simulations show the general agreements with the observed data of run-up height for both tsunamis. The evolution of the distribution function of tsunami heights is studied numerically and it is shown that it tends to the log-normal curve for long distance from the source.
