For geotechnical design in practice, soils are, in general, assumed to behave as a linear elastic or perfect plastic material. More realistic geotechnical design, however, should take into account various factors that affect soil behavior in the field, such as non-linearity of stress-strain response, stress history, and water content. In this study, a series of laboratory tests including triaxial and resonant column tests were peformed with sands of various silt contents, relative densities, stress states, OCR and water contents. This aims at investigating effects of various factors that affect strength and stiffness of sands. From the results in this study, it is found that the effect of OCR is significant for the intermediate stress-strain range from the initial to failure, while it may be ignored for the initial stiffness and peak strength. For the effect of water content, it is observed that the initial elastic modulus decreases with increasing water content at lower confining stress and relative density At higher confining stresses, the effect of water content Is found to become small.

The phase distribution in a multi-phase material strongly affects its material properties. Therefore, a proper method to describe the phase distribution of a material is needed. In this research, probability distribution functions, two-point correlation and lineal-path functions, are used to represent the probabilistic phase distributions of a material. The probability distribution function is calculated using a numerical method and is described as an analytical form via exponential curve fitting with three parameters. Application of analytical form of probability distribution function is investigated using two-phase polycrystalline solids and soil samples. It is confirmed that the probability distribution functions can be represented as an exponential form using curve fitting which helps identifying the applicability of a representative volume element(RVE).

토석류는 산지 사면에서 발생하여 지형변화에 큰 영향을 미치는 대표적인 자연재해 중 하나로 국내에서 발생하는 토석류는 홍수, 태풍 등 타 재해에 비하여 상대적으로 매우 짧은 시간에 발생하며, 사후대응이 어려우므로 사전대비가 필수적이다. 토석류로 인한 피해를 효과적으로 대비하기 위해서는 국내의 지질, 지형 그리고 강우에 따라 발생하는 토석류에 대한 보다 체계적인 정밀현장조사를 통한 자료 구축과 이를 분석한 토석류의 발생원인, 이동경로와 침식 및 퇴적에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 최근의 토석류 연구에서는 침식-퇴적 및 연행작용에 의한 효과를 반영한 수치모의 연구들이 있으나, 모형의 검증을 위한 침식-퇴적 거동에 대한 자료는 현재까지 매우 부족한 실정이다. 토석류 발생에 따른 침식-퇴적 거동특성은 그 자체로도 공학적으로 중요한 요소이며, 수치해석 모의에 필요한 매개변수 추정에도 필요한 항목이다. 토석류 모의의 검증자료로 활용될 수 있는 토석류에 대한 실험적 연구는 토석류의 확산 형태 및 확산 길이에 대한 내용이 대부분으로 흐름수로에서의 침식 및 퇴적에 대한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 발생에 따른 흐름부에서의 침식 및 퇴적에 대한 거동 특성을 분석하기 위하여 함수비, 흐름수로 경사, 상부 붕괴토조의 토사깊이, 흐름수로 침식가능 깊이 등 다양한 조건으로 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 상부 토조의 토사 함수비가 30~80% 실험에서는 퇴적 현상이 탁월하였고, 100% 이상인 실험에서는 침식 현상이 확연하게 나타나 토사의 함수비가 높아지면 집중호우 등 선행강우로 인한 산지 지역에서 발생되는 토석류 현상과 유사하고, 함수비가 낮으면 토석류(Debris flow)가 아닌 입상유동(Granular flow)으로 보는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단된다. 상부 토조의 함수비를 100% 이상으로 변화하여 침식이 발생한 실험에서 상부 토조의 액화 된 토사는 빠른 속도로 흐름이 진행되면서 함수비와 붕괴 체적이 증가할수록 흐름수로 상류부에 침식이 크게 나타나고, 상류부의 토사를 중류부를 거쳐 하류부까지 연행(Entrainment)하는 것으로 판단된다.

Color image sensors (CIS) output color images through image sensors and image signal processing. Image sensors that convert light to electrical signal are divided into CMOS image sensor and CCD image sensor according to transferring method of signal charge. In general, a CIS has RGB output signals from tri-stimulus XYZ of the scene through image signal processing. This paper presents an adaptive colorimetric analysis method to obtain chromaticity and luminance using CIS under various environments. An image sensor for the use of colorimeter is characterized based on the CIE standard colorimetric observer. We use the method of least squares to derive a colorimetric characterization matrix between camera RGB output signals and CIE XYZ tristimulus values. We first survey the camera characterization in the standard environment then derive a SGL(shutter-gain-level) function which is relationship between luminance and auto exposure (AE) characteristic of CIS, and read the status of an AWB(auto white balance) function. Then we can apply CIS to measure luminance and chromaticity from camera outputs and AE resister values without any preprocessing. Camera RGB outputs, register values, and camera photoelectric characteristic are used to analyze the colorimetric results for real scenes such as chromaticity and luminance. Experimental results show that the proposed method is valid in the measuring performance. The proposed method can apply to various fields like surveillant systems of the display or security systems.

A dynamic analysis method that freezes a time domain by discretization and solves the spatial propagation equation has a unique feature that provides a degree of freedom on spatial domain compared with the space discretization or space-time discretization finite element method. Using this feature, the time finite element analysis can be effectively applied to optimize the spatial characteristics of distributed type actuators. In this research, the time domain finite element method was used to discretize the model. A state variable vector was used in the discretization to include arbitrary initial conditions. A performance index was proposed on spatial domain to consider both potential and vibrational energy, so that the resulting shape of the distributed actuator was optimized for dynamic control of the structure. It is assumed that the structure satisfies the final rest condition using the realizable control scheme although the initial disturbance can affect the system response. Both equations on states and costates were derived based on the selected performance index and structural model. Ricatti matrix differential equations on state and costate variables were derived by the reconfiguration of the sub-matrices and application of time/space boundary conditions, and finally optimal actuator distribution was obtained. Numerical simulation results validated the proposed actuator shape optimization scheme.

This study aimed to calculate the CFFs (critical flow functions) of a sonic nozzle bank with a 12-nozzle package within 1 s. Toward this end, the Helmholtz free energy of natural gas was formulated by using the AGA8-dc equation of state in a form without integral terms, and thereafter, thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy, entropy, speed of sound, and heat capacity, which are used in CFF calculation, were derived in analytical form. As a result, the calculation time of CFFs was improved from 6.7 s in a previous study to 0.6 s per 12-nozzle package and kept almost constant regardless of the number of components in natural gas. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the calculated CFF values were in agreement with the results of a CFF international comparison test carried out under ISO management in 1998-1999.

In this study, a seismic fragility analysis was performed for substation systems in Korea. To evaluate the seismic fragility function of the substation systems, a fragility analysis of the individual equipment and facilities of the substation systems was first performed, and then all systems were considered in the fragility analysis of the substation systems using a fault-tree method. For this research, the status of the substation systems in Korea was investigated for the classification of the substation systems. Following the classification of the substation systems, target equipment was selected based on previous damage records in earthquake hazards. The substation systems were classified as 765kV, 345kV, and 154kV systems. Transformer and bushing were chosen as target equipment. The failure modes and criteria for transformer and bushing were decided, and fragility analysis performed. Finally, the fragility functions of substation system were evaluated using the fault tree method according to damage status.

In this paper, we present a modular pointer analysis algorithm based on the update history. We use the term 'module' to mean a set of mutually recursive procedures and the term 'modular analysis' to mean a program analysis that does not need the source codes of the other modules to analyze a module. Since a modular pointer analysis does not utilize any information on the callers, it is difficult to design a precise analysis that does not lose the information related to the program flow or the calling context. In this paper, we propose a modular and flow- and context-sensitive pointer analysis algorithm based on the update history that can memory states of a procedure independently of the information on the calling context and keep the information on the order of side effects performed. Such a memory representation not only enables the analysis to be formalized as a modular analysis, but also helps the analysis to effectively identify killed side effects and relevant alias contexts.

Pores can become factors of reducing the capacity of concrete by being path of degradation factors and moisture can fill up pores inside of concrete, so evaluating the effect of unidirectional permeability due to moisture on pore structure of concrete structure is very important. Therefore, the change of pore structure in cases of 0%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 90% humidity being maintained on test specimens and in case of Lithium Silicate, which is chemical compound, being coated were evaluated. As a result, the condensation due to moisture could be confirmed since unidirectional permeability was decreased and the density of Pore Structure was improved as the percentage of water content was being increased. And, solution-type Lithium Silicate fills up pores of sizes around 1$\mu$m in the condition of carrying water and improves the density but the range of capacity improvement due to osmosis will be limited according to functional conditions.

The appearance inspection of various electronic products and parts has been executed by the eyesight of human. But inspection by eyesight can't bring about uniform inspection result. Because the appearance inspection result by eyesight of human is changed by condition of physical and spirit of the checker. So machine vision inspection system is currently used to many appearance inspection fields instead of the checker. However the inspection result of machine vision is changed by the illumination of workplace. Therefore we have used a power-law transformation and histogram specification in this paper for improvement of vision inspection accuracy. As a result of these power-law transformation and histogram specification algorithm, we could increase the exactness of vision inspection and prevent system error from physical and spirit condition of human. Also this system has been developed only using PC, CCD Camera and Visual C++ for universal workplace.
