현재 국토해양부 4대강 홍수통제소에서는 369개의(2007년 한국수문조사연보 기준) 수위관측소를 설치 운영하고 있으며 현장에서 수집되는 수위자료의 측정방법은 부자식, 레이더식, 초음파식, 영상수위계 등 다양하다. 한강홍수통제소에서 자체 시험연구과제로 수행한 "TM 및 일반수위관측자료 비교분석연구" (국토 해양부, 2007)에 의하면 홍수예보를 위한 주요지점을 위주로 부자식과 레이더식, 부자식과 초음파식 등으로 수위계가 이중화 설치된 것으로 조사된 바 있다. 최근 홍수예보시 수위계 장비 자체의 결함이나 통신이상 등으로 발생되는 결측치나 이상치 자료를 최소화하기 위하여 주 관측방식이 부자식인 수위관측소에서 부자식 수위계의 기기 고장이나 부자 걸림 등이 발생되어 정상적인 자료 취득이 어려운 경우, 보조로 설치된 레이더식 또는 초음파식 수위계의 자료를 수신 받아 자료 손실을 최소화하고 주요지점의 자료 생산 제공 활용의 안정화를 도모하기 위함이다. 따라서 이러한 활용성을 극대화하기 위해 평상시 주 수위계와 보조 수위계에서 생산되는 자료를 동시에 저장하여 두 자료를 비교 분석하여 향후 홍수통제소에서 적용 가능한 자료관리 및 운영에 대한 개선방안을 제안하고자 한다.

We demonstrate that reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated thin aluminum film is an effective optoacoustic transmitter for generating high pressure and high frequency ultrasound previously unattainable by other techniques. The rGO layer of different thickness is deposited between a 100 nm-thick aluminum film and a glass substrate. Under a pulsed laser excitation, the transmitter generates enhanced optoacoustic pressure of 64 times the aluminum-alone transmitter. A promising optoacoustic wave generation is possible by optimizing thermoelasticity of metal film and thermal conductivity of rGO in the proposed transmitter for laser-induced ultrasound (LIUS) applications.

As the increase of the operation year of nuclear power plants, the probabilities of the degradation of the major facilities and materials in the nuclear power plants are increased. The integrity of those facilities shall be monitored and verified by the non-destructive examination methods with the regulation codes, so called inservice inspection(ISI). The ISI of Yonggwang unit 6 was performed in four different parts, 1) non-destructive examinations for the components, piping weldments and structures, 2) automated ultrasonic examinations for pressure vessels, 3) visual examinations for the interior structures of the reactor, 4) eddy current examinations for the steam generator tubes. As the results, there was no severe indication and all detected indications were evaluated as non-relavent. Especially for the examinations of the piping weldments, PD(Performance Demonstration) was applied as a W examination method defined in the 1995 edition of ASME Code Sec. XI. The implementation of the PD for the piping weld results in an improvement of the reliability of the UT examinations.

Discharge data examine the process of hydrologic cycle and used significantly in water resource planning and irrigation and flood control planning. However, it needs lots of time and money to get the discharge data. So discharge rating curve is usually used in converting discharge data. Therefore reliability of discharge rating curve absolutely depends on quality of discharge data. Many engineers who study hydrologic engineering make high quality discharge data to develop reliable discharge rating curve. And they carry out research on standard and method of discharge measurement, and equipment improvement. Now various flow meters are utilized to make discharge data in Korea. However, accuracy of equipment and experimental research data from measurement are not enough. In this paper, constant discharge flowed through standard concrete channel, and the velocity is measured using various flow meters. Also Discharge is calculated by measured data to compare and analyze.

본 논문은 원자력 발전소내의 기기들 중 원자로 내부 기기의 초음파 비파괴 검사를 위한 로봇의 위치 제어를 위한 방법을 설명하였다. 기존에는 레일과 같은 보조 시설물을 설치하여 검사를 하는 것이 일반적이었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 보조 시설물 없이 카메라 영상에 의한 위치제어에 관하여 기술하였다. 여러 가지 방법 중에 정합 필터를 이용하여 로봇의 현재위치를 추정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 실험한 결과 로롯의 제어를 위한 샘플링 타임은 100msec 정도로 일반석인 로봇의 제어 주기로 사용하기에는 다소 길었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 정합필터를 병렬 계산을 이용하여 계산하도록 하고 이를 병렬언어로 널리 사용되고 있는 MPI(Message Passing Interface) 언어로 구현하였다. 다수의 컴퓨터와 이더넷을 이용할 수 있으며 최근 일반화되고 있는 멀티코어 CPU도 응용이 가능하였다.
