In geoscience and engineering the geological characteristics of sediment strata is crucial and possible if reliable borehole logging and seismic data are available. To investigate the characteristics of the shallow strata in the Korea Strait, laboratory sonic logs were obtained from deep borehole data and seismic section. In this study, we integrated and analyzed the sonic log data obtained from the drilling core (down to a depth of 200 m below the seabed) and multichannel seismic section. The correlation value was increased from 15% to 45% through time-depth conversion. An initial model of P-wave impedance was set, and the results were compared by performing model-based, band-limited, and sparse-spike inversions. The derived P-impedance distributions exhibited differences between sediment-dominant and unconsolidated layers. The P-impedance inversion process can be used as a framework for an integrated analysis of additional core logs and seismic data in the future. Furthermore, the derived P-impedance can be used to detect shallow gas-saturated regions or faults in the shallow sediment. As domestic deep drilling is being performed continuously for identifying the characteristics of carbon dioxide storage candidates and evaluating resources, the applicability of the integrated inversion will increase in the future.

In order to assure the safety of NPP structures, margin of safety or conservatism is incorporated in each design step. Seismic risk evaluation of NPP structures is performed based on the realistic capacity and response of structure eliminated the safety margin and conservatism. In this study, the comparative study on the various evaluation methods of the inelastic energy absorption capacity was performed. The inelastic energy absorption capacity due to the nonlinear behavior of structures has significant effect on the results of seismic probabilistic risk assessment. And the comparison study of the HCLPF(high confidence of low probability of failure) values according to the inelastic energy absorption factors was performed. As a conclusion, the inelastic energy absorption factor of NPP containment structure is estimated about 1.5~1.75. It is essential to estimate the nonlinear behavior of structure and its ductility factor correctly for the seismic risk assessment.

The material property of the rubber has been studied in order to improve the reliability of the finite element model of a lead rubber bearing (LRB) which is a typical base isolator. Rubber exhibits elastic behaviour even within the large strain range, unlike the general structural material, and has a hyper-elastic characteristics that shows non-linear relationship between load and deformation. This study represents the mechanical characteristics of the rubber by strain energy function in order to develop a finite element (FE) model of LRB. For the study, several strain energy functions were selected and mechanical properties of the rubber were estimated with the energy functions. A finite element model of LRB has been developed by using material properties of rubber and lead which were identified by stress tests. This study estimated the horizontal and vertical force-displacement relationship with the FE model. The adequacy of the FE model was validated by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data.

A systematic laboratory compaction testing was performed with the laboratory seismic measurements of the compacted specimens sampled from various compaction fills and was supplemented with in-situ seismic testing to investigate the effects of compaction energy on the elastic wave velocities of the railway roadbed materials. The both variances of the compressive and shear wave velocities with moisture content curve ($V_p$-w and $V_s$-w curves) are similar to the general trend of the density-moisture content curve(${\gamma}_d$-w curve). At the wet side of optimal moisture content (OMC), either $V_p$ or $V_s$ does not significantly increase, which is well reflecting the no gaining in density with the increasing compaction energy exceeding modified-D compaction effort. $V_p$ increases linearly with ${\gamma}_d$ at the dry side of OMC, while it does exponentially at the wet side. The in-situ wave velocities were found to be influenced by the level of confinement and $V_s$ was more sensitive to compaction energy than $V_p$.

Recent research is increasingly focused on utilizing seismic waves for structure health monitoring (SHM). Specifically, seismic interferometry, a technique applied in geophysical surveys using ambient noise, is widely applied in SHM. This method involves analyzing the response of buildings to propagating seismic waves. This enables the estimation of changes in structural stiffness and the evaluation of the location and presence of damage. Analysis of seismic interferometry applied to SHM, along with case studies, indicates its highly effective application for assessing structural stability and monitoring building conditions. Seismic interferometry is thus recognized as an efficient approach for evaluating building integrity and damage detection in SHM and monitoring applications.

The mixed mode problem (I and II) of a peny-shaped interface cracks in remote tension loading on a bi-material cylinder is studied using finite element method. The energy release rates for the tip of the crack in the interface were calibrated for several different moduli combinations and crack ratios using the modified crack closure integral technique and J-integral method, with numerical results obtained from a commercial finite element program. Numerical results show that non-dimensional value of$\sqrt{G_{II}E^*}/\sqrt[p]{\pi a}$ increases as the crack size or moduli ratio increases. Meanwhile, non-dimensional value of$\sqrt{G_{I}E^*}/\sqrt[p]{\pi a}$ decreases as the moduli ratio increases, but above the moduli ratio of 3 its value decreases then increases again as the crack size increases. Reliability of the numerical analysis in this study was acquired with comparison to an analytical solution for the peny-shaped interface crack in an infinite medium.

광대역 표면 탄성파(Surface Acoustic Wave)를 이용하여 도파로 층의 빛을 특정 각도로 변조하여 편향 휴대용 홀로그램 디스플레이를 구현하기 위한 음향 광학(Acoustic-Optic) 장치를 개발했다. 개발된 시스템은 프리즘, 도파로층, 표면탄성파를 일으키는 IDT 및 스크린으로 구성된다. 도파로내에서 전파하는 빛은 표면탄성파에 에너지가 가해지지 않으면 도파로층의 진행중 경로 변화가 발생하지 않지만 표면 탄성파에 에너지를 가하면 빛의 편향된다. 큰 편향 각도와 고효율을 위해서 표면탄성파의 파워, 표면탄성파의 중심주파수, IDT aperture length, waveguide thickness 등을 조절하여 빛 편향각도 및 효율변화를 관찰하였다.

한국지질자원연구원은 1997년부터 새로운 에너지 자원으로 활용 가능성을 포함하고 있는 가스 하이드레이트를 조사하기 위해 동해 일원에서 탄성파탐사를 실시하고 있다. 탄성파 반사 자료로부터 가스 하이드레이트 부존여부를 확인하는 방법은 해저면과 평행하면서 위상이 반대로 나타나는 고진폭 반사파 BSR (Bottom Simulating Reflection)과 BSR상부에서의 진폭감소, 하부에서 진폭증가와 구간속도 감소 등을 들 수 있다. 여기에서는 가스 하이드레이트 탐사자료에 대한 일반자료처리와 함께 BSR을 포함하고 있는 탄성파 반사자료에 대해 코드 병렬화된 PSPI를 이용하여 깊이영역 구조보정을 실시하였다. 고용량 탐사자료로 구성된 탄성파 반사자료에 깊이영역 구조보정을 적용하기 위해서는 고성능 컴퓨터와 병렬처리 기술이 필요하다. PSPI(Phase Shift Plus Interpolation)법은 적은 컴퓨터 계산량과 효율성 그리고 주파수 영역에서 구조적으로 병렬화가 용이한 특성을 지니고 있어 구조보정에 많이 이용되고 있다. 여기에서는 MPI(Message Passing Interface)-LAM을 이용하여 병렬코드화된 PSPI를 개발하고 인공합성모델과 동해 가스 하이드레이트 깊이영역 구조보정에 적응하였다.
