In recent years, the subject of remaining life assessment has drawn considerable attention in power plants, where various structural components typically operate at high temperature and pressure. Thus a life prediction methodology accounting for high temperature creep fracture is increasingly needed for the components. Critical defects in such structures are generally found in the form of semi-elliptical surface crack, and the analysis of which is consequently an important problem in engineering fracture mechanics. On this background, we first develop an auto mesh generation program for detailed 3-D finite element analyses of axial and circumferential semi-elliptical surface cracks in a piping system. A high temperature creep fracture parameter $C^{\ast}$-integral is obtained from the finite element analyses of generated 3-D models. Post crack growth module is further appended here to calculate the amount of crack growth. Finally the remaining lives of surface cracked pipes for various analytical parameters are assessed using the developed life assessment program.

구조물의 표면에 부착된 압전소자(이하 PZT)의 전기역학적 어드미턴스(Electro-mechanical admittance)는 PZT와 구조물의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 PZT의 압전효과와 유전성(dielectric)이 결합되어 발생되는 신호이다. 고주파수 대역에서 PZT의 전기역학적 어드미턴스는 구조물의 국부손상에 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 실험에서 측정된 PZT의 전기역학적 어드미턴스 분석에 널리 쓰이는 Liang 모델은 구조물을 단자유도계로 단순화하여 구조물의 동적특성이 전기역학적 어드미턴스에 미치는 영향을 정확하게 나타내기 어렵다. 유한요소법을 통해 PZT와 구조물의 상호작용을 해석하면 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있다. 그러나 고주파 대역에서 정확한 해석을 위해서는 유한요소망을 조밀하게 구성해야 하므로 많은 계산비용이 수반된다. 이 연구에서는 유한요소법과 비교하여 월등히 적은 계산비용으로 고주파 대역의 동적 응답을 매우 정확하게 모사할 수 있는 스펙트럼 요소법(Spectral Element Method ; 이하 SEM)을 통해 판구조물에 부착된 PZT의 전기-역학적 어드미턴스를 해석한다. 수치 예제 및 실험 예제를 통하여 내민보에 부착된 PZT에서 발생하는 전기-역학적 어드미턴스를 취득하고 이를 SEM해석 결과와 비교한다.

영상에 새로운 광원을 추가하거나 기존의 광원을 변경하여 영상 내 오브젝트들에 적용된 조명을 변경하는 것을 영상 기반 재조명이라 한다. 하지만, 영상에는 재조명을 위해 필요한 광원과 오브젝트들의 3차원 기하 정보가 부재하다는 문제가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 영상으로부터 재조명에 필요한 요소들을 추정하는 접근법을 취한다. 오브젝트 표면의 노말과 알베도는 조명의 주 요소이지만 광원에는 독립적이므로 새로운 광원에 대한 재조명을 가능케 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 영상으로부터 노말맵과 알베도맵을 추정한 뒤, 이를 이용하여 영상 기반 렌더링하는 영상 재조명 방법을 제안한다. 조건부 적대적 생성망을 다양한 조명 환경에서 렌더링된 3차원 오브젝트 영상들과 그에 대응하는 노말맵, 알베도맵을 이용해 학습함으로써, 임의의 영상에 대한 노말맵과 알베도맵 추정기를 생성한다. 이를 통해 추정된 노말맵과 알베도맵은 3차원 공간상에서 새로운 광원에 대해 렌더링됨으로써 재조명 영상을 생성한다. 마지막으로, 영상 기반으로 재조명된 영상과 ground truth와의 비교 실험을 통해 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 유효함을 확인한다.

Purpose: Although many studies on seismic fragility analysis of general bridges have been conducted using machine learning methods, studies on curved bridge structures are insignificant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the seismic fragility of bridges with I-shaped curved girders based on the machine learning method considering the material property and geometric uncertainties. Method: Material properties and pier height were considered as uncertainty parameters. Parameters were sampled using the Latin hypercube technique and time history analysis was performed considering the seismic uncertainty. Machine learning data was created by applying artificial neural network and response surface analysis method to the original data. Finally, earthquake fragility analysis was performed using original data and learning data. Result: Parameters were sampled using the Latin hypercube technique, and a total of 160 time history analyzes were performed considering the uncertainty of the earthquake. The analysis result and the predicted value obtained through machine learning were compared, and the coefficient of determination was compared to compare the similarity between the two values. The coefficient of determination of the response surface method was 0.737, which was relatively similar to the observed value. The seismic fragility curve also showed that the predicted value through the response surface method was similar to the observed value. Conclusion: In this study, when the observed value through the finite element analysis and the predicted value through the machine learning method were compared, it was found that the response surface method predicted a result similar to the observed value. However, both machine learning methods were found to underestimate the observed values.

The performance of various GFR implementations has been recently studied due to the interest to provide bandwidth guarantees with a simpler implementation than ABR in ATM networks. One of the important factors is buffer management for guaranteeing QoS in GFR service. An efficient buffer management algorithm is necessary to guarantee MCR for untagged cell in ATM switch. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a buffer management scheme to provide the GFR service guarantees. The proposed scheme can control the cell discarding for fairness in each VC, and compared with Double-EPD and DFBA. Our results show that the proposed buffer management with per-VC queuing achieves significant enhancement on goodputs and fairness index than those of existing methods.

하천의 유량 자료는 하천 관리에 필수적인 요소로, 지속적인 유량측정을 위해 국가 유량 측정망을 구성하여 주요 지점을 대상으로 유량 측정을 수행하고 있다. 측정된 유량자료는 일반적으로 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 개발하여 제공되고 있으며, 홍수파와 배수 영향 등으로 인해 수위-유량 관계곡선식에서 발생하는 산포로 인한 신뢰도에 문제가 우려되는 경우에는 실시간의 정확한 유량자료를 제공하기 위해 H-ADCP를 설치하여 지표유속법 기반의 실시간 유량 자료 생산하여 제공하고 있다. 그러나 H-ADCP를 이용한 유량 측정 방법은 장비의 한계로 인해 상대적으로 규모가 작고 수심이 얕은 하천에 적용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 따라서, 최근에는 자동유량관측소 지점 확대를 위해 비접촉식 유속계를 활용한 자동유량관측소 운영이 점차 고려되고 있다. 이에 따라 비접촉식유속계를 이용한 유량 측정 결과의 검증 및 유지 관리를 위한 소프트웨어가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 비접촉식유속계 중 전자파를 이용하여 수표면의 표면유속을 측정할 수 있는 장비인 RQ-30의 측정결과를 분석하기 위해 Microsoft Visual Studio(C#) 사용하여 측정결과의 검토 및 자료 관리를 위한 후처리 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 개발한 소프트웨어는 측정 원시자료를 읽고, 도시하여 측정 결과를 확인할 수 있으며, 머신러닝 기반의 알고리즘을 적용하여 수위 및 유속 시계열 자료에서 발생하는 이상치를 탐색할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 그리고 탐지된 이상치에 대한 보정을 위해 선형보간, LOESS, SuperSmoother를 사용하여 이상치를 보정하여 결과를 도출할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 추후 본 연구를 통해 개발된 프로그램을 활용하여 측정 자료의 유지 관리 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 지속적인 프로그램의 개선을 통해서 실무적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The tegumental ultrastructure of juvenile and adult Echinostoma cinetorchis (Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Three-day (juvenile) and 16-day (adult) worms were harvested from rats (Sprague-Dawley) experimentally fed the metacercariae from the laboratory-infected fresh water snail, Hippeutis cantori. The worms were fifed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde, processed routinely, and observed by an ISI Korea DS-130 scanning electron microscope. The 3-day old juvenile worms were elongated and ventrally curved, with their ventral sucker near the anterior two-fifths of the body. The head crown was bearing 37∼38 collar spines arranged in a zigzag pattern. The lips of the oral and ventral suckers had 8 and 5 type II sensory papillae respectively, and bewteen the spines, a few type III papillae were observed. Tongue or spade-shape spines were distributed anteriorly to the ventral sucker, whereas peg-like spines were distributed posteriorly and became sparse toward the posterior body. The spines of the dorsal surface were similar to those of the ventral surface. The 16-day old adults were leaf-like, and their oral and ventral suckers were located very closely. Aspinous head crown, oral and ventral suckers had type II and type III sensory papillae, and numerous type I papillae were distributed on the tegument anterior to the ventral sucker. Scale-like spines, with broad base and round tip, were distributed densely on the tegument anterior to the ventral sucker but they became sparse posteriorly. At the dorsal surface, spines were observed at times only at the anterior body. The results showed that the tegument of E. cinetorchis is similar to that of other echinostomes, but differs in the number and arrangement of collar spines, shape and distribution of tegumenal spines, and type and distribution of sensory papillae.

This study was carried out to develop rain shelter which can make an appropriate size and environment for Chinese cabbage rainproof cultivation. Fifty three farms with chinese cabbage rainproof cultivation system have been investigated to set up width and height of rain shelter. Mostly the width of 6m was desired for rain shelter and the height of 1.6m for their eaves, so these values were chosen as the dimensions for rain shelter. After an analysis of their structural safety and installation costs by the specifications of the rafter pipe, Ø$25.4{\times}1.5t$ and 90cm have been set as the size of rafter that such size costs the least. This size is stable with $27m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ of wind velocity and 17cm of snow depth. Therefore it is difficult to apply this dimension to area with higher climate load. In order to sort out such problem, the rain shelter has been designed to avoid damage on frame by opening plastic film to the ridge. Once greenhouse band is loosen by turning the manual switch at the both sides of rain shelter and open button of controller is pushed then switch motor rises up along the guide pipe and plastic film is opened to the ridge. Chinese cabbage can be damaged by insects if rain shelter is opened completely as revealed a field. To prevent this, farmers can install an insect-proof net. Further, the greenhouse can be damaged by typhoon while growing Chinese cabbage therefore the effect of an insect-proof net on structural safety has been analyzed. And then structural safety has been analyzed through using flow-structure interaction method at the wind condition of $40m{\cdot}s^{-1}$. And it assumed that wind applied perpendicular to side of the rain shelter which was covered by insect-proof net. The results indicated that plastic film was directly affected by wind therefore high pressure occurred on the surface. But wind load on insect-proof net was smaller than on plastic film and pressure distribution was also uniform. The results of structural analysis by applying pressure data extracted from flow analysis indicated that the maximum stress occurred at the end of pipe which is the ground part and the value has been 54.6MPa. The allowable stress of pipe in the standard of structural safety must be 215 MPa or more therefore structural safety of this rain shelter is satisfied.

A pair of two-way valves typically is used in automotive washing machines, where the water flow direction is frequently reversed and highly pressurized clean water is sprayed to remove the oil and dirt remaining on machined engine and transmission blocks. Although this valve system has been widely used because of its competitive price, its application is sometimes restricted by surging effects, such as pressure ripples occurring in rapid changes in water flow caused by inaccurate valve control. As an alternative, one three-way reversing valve can replace the valve system because it provides rapid and accurate changes to the water flow direction without any precise control device. However, a cavitation effect occurs because of the complicated bottom plug shape of the valve. In this study, the cavitation index and percent of cavitation (POC) were introduced to numerically evaluate fluid flows via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. To reduce the cavitation effect generated by the bottom plug, the optimal shape design was carried out through a parametric study, in which a simple computer-aided engineering (CAE) model was applied to avoid time-consuming CFD analysis and difficulties in achieving convergence. The optimal shape design process using full factorial design of experiments (DOEs) and an artificial neural network meta-model yielded the optimal waist and tail length of the bottom plug with a POC value of less than 30%, which meets the requirement of no cavitation occurrence. The optimal waist length, tail length and POC value were found to 6.42 mm, 6.96 mm and 27%, respectively.
