In an environment where multiple drones are operated, collisions can occur when path points overlap, and collision avoidance in preparation for this is essential. When multiple drones perform multiple tasks, it is not appropriate to use a method to generate a collision-avoiding path in the path planning phase because the path of the drone is complex and there are too many collision prediction points. In this paper, we generate a path through a commonly used path generation algorithm and propose a collision avoidance method using speed profile optimization from that path segment. The safe distance between drones was considered at the expected point of collision between paths of drones, and it was designed to assign a speed profile to the path segment. The optimization problem was defined by setting the distance between drones as variables in the flight time equation. We constructed the constraints through linearize and convexification, and compared the computation time of SQP and convex optimization method in multiple drone operating environments. Finally, we confirmed whether the results of performing convex optimization in the 20 drone operating environments were suitable for the multiple drone operating system proposed in this study.

This study investigates influencing factors on numerical crash simulation between RC slab and soft projectile using explicit dynamic method. Considered experimental test is the MEPPEN II/4 test, which has been conducted at the end of the years 70' in Germany as one of the numerous experimental test related to design of nuclear power plants. LS-DYNA software is adopted for numerical study, and influencing factors such as constitutive model of concrete, strain rate effect of steel and concrete, support modeling method, etc. are investigated. More reasonable simulation results can be achieved through appropriate consideration of these factors, especially of constitutive model of concrete material since this factor affects most among the investigated factors.

Pharmaceutical compounds enter the water environment through the diverse pathways. Because their concentration in the water environment was frequently detected in the level of ppt to ppb, the monitoring system should be optimized as much as possible for finding appropriate management policies and technical solutions. One Factor At a Time (OFAT) approach approximating the response with a single variable has been preferred for the optimization of LC-MS/MS operational conditions. However, it is common that variables in analytical instruments are interdependent. Therefore, the best condition could be found by using the statistical optimization method changing multiple variables at a time. In this research, response surface analysis (RSA) was applied to the LC-MS/MS analysis of emerging antibiotic compound, sulfamethoxazole, for the best sensitivity. In the screening test, fragmentation energy and collision voltage were selected as independent variables. They were changed simultaneously for the statistical optimization and a polynomial equation was fit to the data set. The correlation coefficient, $R^2$ valuerepresented 0.9947 and the error between the predicted and observed value showed only 3.41% at the random condition, fragmentation energy of 60 and collision voltage of 17 eV. Therefore, it was concluded that the model derived by RSA successfully predict the response. The optimal conditions identified by the model were fragmentation energy of 116.6 and collision voltage of 10.9 eV. This RSA can be extensively utilized for optimizing conditions of solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography.

Thin-walled tubes have been widely used as energy absorbing devices because they are light and have high energy-absorption efficiency. However, the downside is that conventional thin-walled tubes usually exhibit an excessive initial peak crushing force (IPCF) and a large fluctuation in the load-displacement curve, and thus lack stability as energy absorbing devices. Corrugated tubes were introduced to reduce IPCF and to increase the stability of collision energy-absorbing devices. Since the performance of corrugated tubes is highly influence by geometry, design optimization methods can be utilized to optimize the performance of corrugated tubes. In this paper, we utilize shape design optimization based on an adaptive surrogate model for crashworthiness analysis. The amplitude and wavelength of the corrugation, as well as curvature changes in the features, are the design variables. A morphing methodology is adopted to perform shape design parameterization. Through numerical examples, we compare optimal design results based on the adaptive surrogate model, with optimal results based on conventional surrogate models, and we show that direct optimal design methods produce more efficient results.

본 논문에서는 경로계획 알고리즘으로 사용한 거리변환 경로곡선상에 중간경유점을 설정한후 이를 최적화시켜 각 이동로봇의 주행경로를 최적화 하였고, 로봇간의 우선 순위를 설정하여 원활한 충돌회피가 이루어지도록 하였으며, 각 로봇은 충돌회피 후에도 중간 경유점 까지 최단거리로의 주행이 이루어지도록 하였다. 또한 기존에 제시된 방법에 외길 입구에 경고 지점을 지정함으로써 외길에서의 상호충돌을 방지하는 효과를 주었다. 이로써 로봇간의 우선 순위의 설정으로 인하여 생기는 시간 지연을 해소시키는 효과를 가져올 수 있었다. 로봇간의 우선순위를 설정함에 있어서 또다른 변수를 추가시킴으로 로봇이외의 움직이는 장애물에 대해서도 고려하도록 하였다. 위와 같이, 본 논문에서는 여러대의 이동로봇을 고정된, 움직이는 장애물이 있는 환경하에서 장애물 회피시마다 최단경로로 주행하여 주어진 목표점까지 이동시키는 경로계획에 관하여 연구하였다.

In this study, the mechanisms of binary droplet collision were studied with diesel, ethanol and purified water. The droplet collisions of liquid droplet have been investigated for the same droplet diameter. In order to obtain the digital images of the droplet collision behavior, the experimental equipment was composed of the droplet generating system and the droplet visualization system. The droplets were produced by the vibrating orifice monodisperse generator. The visualization system consisted of a long distance microscope, a light source, and a high speed camera. The outcomes of binary droplet collision can be divided into four regimes, bouncing, coalescence, reflexive separation and stretching separation. The impact angle and the relative velocity of binary droplet are main parameters of collision phenomena, so the transition mechanism of droplet collision can be divided by the impact parameter.

In this study, the effect of wall curvature and post-tension force on impact resistance is evaluated by numerical analysis method. A total of twelve cases with two parameters such as wall shape of flat and curved, and consideration of post-tensioning force were included in this study. A 3D detailed finite element model of commercial passenger plane engine is utilized as projectile. The depths of penetration and central displacement calculated from the numerical simulations were compared and analysed. As the results of the numerical simulations of this study, penetration depth was reduced approximately 60~80% due to the application of post-tension force, but the decrease of maximum central displacement was not remarkable. Also, the effect of curvature was relatively insignificant.

In this study, the behaviors of a vessel and the ground during the vessel impacting an underwater slope that is part of an artificial protective island are analyzed using the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme. To consider the large deformation including the shear failure of soil, the Eulerian domain is used to model the ground and water, while the impacting objects are modeled as the Lagrangian domain. For efficiency, the mass scaling scheme is applied to the modeling of the impacting objects, and the ground is modeled by setting the Eulerian volume fraction values. To verify the applicability of the constructed model, a dynamic penetration anchor problem is analyzed. The impacting vessel is modeled using solid elements following the external shape of a container ship, and an analysis of a collision on the slope is performed. As a result, collision behaviors such as displacement, velocity, and dissipation energy are estimated, and the necessity of a parametric study as further research is established.

The impact speed estimation practice used in the car-bicycle accident analysis practice in Korea was mainly dependent on foreign study results which were tested with limited speed ranges and vehicle types, but the characteristics of roadway, human body, and vehicle performance were quite different. This study developed an impact speed estimation model using the car-bicycle accident field data. For this, a regression analysis was performed using the impact speed and bicycle throw distance collected from 23 real accident data, and statistical test was also conducted. For the verification of the induced model, the impact speeds derived from the model were compared with the true impact speeds estimated from skid marks of two accident cases. The result showed that the two speeds were very close to each other. It is believed that the model could be included in the car-bicycle accident analysis practice.
