This study focuses on the numerical simulations of the cone penetration tests in a sand ground. The mechanical responses of sand were described using the modified Mohr Coulomb plasticity model based on the critical state soil mechanics. In the plasticity model, the dilatancy angle was not a constant, but a function of the distance to the critical state line from the current state of void ratio and mean effective stress. To simulate cone penetration tests numerically, this study relied on Lagrangian finite element method under the axisymmetric condition. To enable penetration of the cone penetrometer without tearing elements along the symmetric axis, the penetration guide concept was adopted in this study. The results of numerical simulations on the calibration chamber cone penetration tests had good agreement with the experimental results.

The ultimate bearing capacity of surface foundations on a sand layer overlying clay has been theoretically investigated. First, a review of previous studies on the bearing capacity problems for this type of foundation was performed and a discussion was presented concerning the practical application. Second, the kinematic approach of limit analysis was used to calculate the upper bound of the true ultimate bearing capacity. The kinematic solutions are upper bounds and their accuracy depends primarily on the nature of the assumed failure mechanism. This approach makes it convenient to create design charts, and it is possible to trace the influence of parameters. Third, the commercial finite element program ABAQUS was applied to obtain the ultimate bearing capacity based on the elasto-plastic theory. Results obtained from the kinematic approach were compared with those from the program ABAQUS and the limit equilibrium equations proposed by Yamaguchi, Meyerhof and Okamura et al. Finally, the validities of the results from the kinematic approach, the results from the program ABAQUS and the limit equilibrium equations were examined.

본 인구는 돌발홍수 예경보시스템의 수문학적 주요 구성요소인 한계유출량을 한강유역에 내해 산정하는 것이 주목적이다. 이를 위해 Landsat TM 영상자료로 추출된 DEM 자료로부터 미소 소유역($0.01\~56.7km^2$) 및 하천도를 추출하고, 자연하도 및 소유역 매개변수의 지역적 회귀분석을 통해 Manning의 제방월류 유량($Q_{bf}$) 및 GIUH의 단위도 첨두유량($q_{pR}$)을 계산하였다. 이러한 결과를 활용하여 한강유역 headwater 유역에 대한 1시간 단위의 한계유출량을 계산한 결과, 그 값이 $0.01\~1.29inch(0.25\~32.77mm)$의 범위를 보였으며, 상류쪽 유역이고 유역면적이 작은 소유역일수록 한계유출량이 작게 산정되었다.

Delay, delay variation and packet loss rate are principal QoS(Quality of Service) elements of packet communication. This paper proposes a new buffer allocation mechanism to improve the packet loss performance in such a situation that multiple logical buffers share a single physical memory buffer. In the proposed buffer allocation mechanism, the movement of dynamic threshold follows a curved track instead of a straight line which is used in the DT(dynamic threshold) mechanism. In order evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism, it is compared with the existing previously proposed mechanisms in several aspects including NC(no control), ST(Static Threshold) and DT mechanisms.

In this paper, limit load analyses and fracture mechanics analyses were conducted via finite element analyses for the welded pipe with circumferential crack at the center of the weldment. Systematic changes for strength mismatch ratio, width of weldment, crack shape and thickness ratio of the pipe were considered to provide strength mismatch limit load. And J-integral calculations based on reference stress method were conducted for two materials, stainless steel and ferritic steel. Reference stress defined by provided strength mis-match limit load gives much more accurate J-integral.

In this paper, a probability-based reliability analysis was proposed based on a finite element method-based random vibration analysis and serviceability limit state of structures. The limit state model defined for the study is a serviceability limit state in terms of the more realistic crack failure that might cause the emission of radioactive materials. The SAP V-2 is used for a three-dimensional finite element analysis of concrete containment structure, and the reliability analysis is carried out by modifying HRAS reliability analysis program for this study. In this study, the load factors for the design of reinforced concrete cointainment structures in Korea are proposed by considering appropriate load combination criteria for design, and the results are compared with the present ASME code. The proposed load factors were proved to be in accordance with a set of code performance objective and showed consistency in the limit state probability.

The present work reports the mismatch limit loads for a V-groove welded pipe for a circumferential crack using finite element (FE) analyses. To integrate the effect of groove angles on mismatch limit loads, one geometry-related slenderness parameter was modified by relevant geometric parameters including the groove angle, crack depth, and root opening based on plastic deformation patterns in the theory of plasticity. Circumferential through-wall cracks are located at the centre of the weldments with two different groove angles ($45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$). With regard to the loading conditions, axial (longitudinal) tension and bending are applied for all cases. For the parent and weld metal, elastic-perfectly plastic materials are considered to simulate and analyze under- and over-matching conditions in plasticity. The overall results from the proposed solutions are found to be similar to the FE results.

Verbal communication has limits in the interaction between robot and man, and therefore nonverbal communication is required for realizing smoother and more efficient communication and even the emotional expression of the robot. This study derived 7 pieces of nonverbal information based on shopping behavior using the robot designed to support shopping, selected facial expression as the element of the nonverbal information derived, and coded face components through 2D analysis. Also, this study analyzed the significance of the expression of nonverbal information using 3D animation that combines the codes of face components. The analysis showed that the proposed expression method for nonverbal information manifested high level of significance, suggesting the potential of this study as the base line data for the research on nonverbal information. However, the case of 'embarrassment' showed limits in applying the coded face components to shape and requires more systematic studies.

Delaunay triangulation is a very powerful method of mesh generation for its versatility such as handling complex geometries, element density control, and local/global remeshing capability, The limit of generating simplex elements(3-node elements in 2-D) only is resolved by adding generation module of 6-node quadratic elements. Since proposed adjacency does not change from 3-node element mesh to 6-node mesh, generation module can utilize the original simplex element generator. Therefore, versatility of the Delaunay triangulation is preserved. A simple upsetting problem is employed to show the possibility of the algorithm.

화약류를 사용하여 암반을 절취하는 작업현장에서의 발파공해는 항상 발생하고 있다. 특히 폭약의 폭발로 인해 발생하는 지반진동은 크고 작은 문제를 야기하고 있다. 일반적으로 발파현장에서 사용하고 있는 일반발파와 진동제어(미진동)발파에 대한 의미와 구분 및 시공에 대해 인식시키고자 그동안의 경험과 이론을 토대로 하여 연구하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 일반발파와 진동제어발파를 구분하는 요소로 암분류 및 진동속도를 지발당장약량과 관계, 암분류에 따른 비장약량 및 발파공당 암절취량 그리고 천공경을 선정하여 고찰하였다. 이들 요소를 기준으로 일반발파와 진동제어발파의 경계가 되는 보안물건으로부터 거리 산출방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 일반발파나 진동제어발파 모두 보안물건에는 한계 진동속도 이내의 진동이 전달되어야 하며, 그 경계가 되는 발파공당 절취암량은 연암의 경우 약$16.67m^3$, 보통암의 경우 약$12.5m^3$, 경암의 경우 약 $10m^3$을 기준으로 하는 것이 바람직하고, 그 경계가 되는 보안물건으로부터 거리는 일정하게 정해진 것이 아니므로 현장에서 대상암반에 대해 시험발파를 실시하여 암분류, 비장약량, 지발당장약량, 한계 진동속도를 기준으로 결정하는 것이 바람직하다. 진동제어(미진동)발파구간내에서 발파설계단가는 일률적이 아닌 약2~3구간으로 분할하여 산출해야한다.
