Installation of earth grounding system is essential to ensure personnel safety and correct operation of electrical equipment. Earth parameters, especially, soil resistivity has to be determined in designing an efficient earth grounding system. The most common applied technique to measure soil resistance is Wenner four-point method. Implementation of this method is expensive, time consuming and cumbersome as large set of measurements with variable electrode spacing are required to obtain a one dimensional resistivity plot. It is advantageous to have a method which is of low cost and provides fast measurements. In this perspective, electrical resistance tomography (ERT) is applied to estimate subsurface resistivity profile. Electrical resistance tomograms characterize the soil resistivity distribution based on the measurements from electrodes placed in the region of interest. The nonlinear ill-posed inverse problem is solved using iterated Gauss-Newton method with Tikhonov regularization. Through extensive numerical simulations, it is found that ERT offers promising performance in estimating the three-dimensional soil resistivity distribution.

지난 수 십년 간 컴퓨터는 구조설계에 있어서 그 이용이 증가하고 있다. 구조설계를 위한 컴퓨터 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 먼저 구조설계에 관련된 정보와 작업을 정형화한 표현이 필요하다. 본 논문은 구조설계에서 설계정보와 설계작업의 이해와 표현이 어려운 분야의 하나인 시스템설계에 대하여 논하고 있으며, 빌딩 프레임구조물의 시스템 설계정보를 표현하는 한 방법을 기술하고 있다. 3차원 공간을 표시하기 위하여 기준평면과 그리드 라인을 정의하였으며, 빌딩 프레임구조물의 시스템을 프레임 서브시스템, 플로어 서브시스템, 시스템요소 기둥의 세 종류의 요소로 분해하였다. 시스템요소 기둥은 프레임의 요소가 아니고, 시스템의 요소이다. 시스템 설계정보를 표현하기 위한 이와 같은 방법을 개체형 통합설계모델의 표기법을 이용하여 표시하였다. 개체형 통합설계모델은 설계정보와 설계작업을 표현하기 위하여 각각 프로덕트 개체와 프로세스 개체를 이용한다. 시스템 설계정보를 위하여 본 논문에서 정의한 프로덕트 개체들은 정형화된 시스템 설계정보를 표현하는데, 이것은 구조설계 CAD 시스템 개발에 유용하다.

가상현실 시스템은 프레임마다 객체를 식별하고 이벤트에 대한 빠른 응답시간을 요구한다. 대부분 개상현실 시스템들을 빠른 응답시간과 객체 식별을 빠르게 하기 위하여 인덱스를 사용한다. 이러한 인덱스들은 그리드 형태로 공간을 분할하여 트리형태의 구조를 가지기 때문에 영역질의에는 취약한 구조이며 이동 객체의 이동횟수에 따라 부가적인 연산비용이 생긴다. 따라서 3차원 영역질의에 우수한 성능을 보이는 R-트리를 가상현실 시스템에 적용하였을 때에 발생되는 문제점을 정의하였다. 또한 발생한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 가시성을 고려한 영역 질의, 초기 삽입 정책을 제안하였다.

In shipbuilding and marine industry, engineering and design software solutions have upgraded from the original 2D schematic data based CAD system to a modern 3D drawing-based system. Due to the fact that the massive amount of data usage in real time and data volumes of various engineering models including graphic data have increased, several problems such as lack of server resources and improper handling of 3D drawings have been raised. Besides, increasing the number of session connections per server can cause deterioration of server performance. Recently, increasing the yard's sophisticated design capabilities highlighted the need to develop engineering and design system which would not only overcome the network performance issues, but would provide efficient collaborative design environment. This paper presents an overview of the framework for collaborative engineering design system based on the virtual application (Citrix XenApp 6.5)and acceleration hardware technology of 3D graphics (NVIDIA GRID K2 solution).

Reverse engineering technology refers to the process that creates a CAD model of an existing part using measuring devices. Recently, non-contact scanning devices have become more accurate and the speed of data acquisition has increased drastically. However, they generate thousands of points per second and various types of point data. Therefore. it becomes a important to handle the huge amount and various types of point data to generate a surface model efficiently. This paper proposes a new triangular mesh generation method using 3D grids. The geometric information of a part can be obtained from point cloud data by estimating normal values of the points. In our research, the non-uniform 3D grids are generated first for feature based data reduction based on the geometric information. Then, triangulation is performed with the reduced point data. The grid structure is efficiently used not only for neighbor point search that can speed up the mesh generation process but also for getting surface connectivity information to result in same topology surface with the point data. Through this integrated approach, it is possible to create surface models from scanned point data efficiently.

Although Motion estimation (ME) plays an important role in digital video compression, it requires a complicated search procedure to find an optimal motion vector. Multi-view video is obtained by capturing one three-dimensional scene with many cameras at different positions. The computational complexity of motion estimation for Multi-view video coding increases in proportion to the number of cameras. To reduce computational complexity and maintain the image quality, a low complexity motion estimation search method is proposed in this paper. The proposed search method consists of four-grid diamond search patten, two-gird diamond search pattern and TZ 2 Point search pattern. These search patterns exploit the characteristics of the distribution of motion vectors to place the search points. Experiment results show that the speedup improvement of the proposed method over TZ search method (JMVC) can be up to 1.8~4.5 times faster by reducing the computational complexity and the image quality degradation is about to 0.01~0.24 (dB).

해저 해빈모래가 다량 유실되어 이 지역의 장기관리를 위해 침식구간에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 작업이 필요하다. 그러나 각 구청은 지형변화 분석 작업 없이, 양빈작업에 급급하고 있어 장기효과가 나타나지 않고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 수심측량 및 GPS 측량을 통해 해저 해빈지대의 정확한 공간자료를 구축, RS GIS 기법을 도입하여 지형변화를 정량 정성적으로 탐지 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 해운대 해저지형은 과도한 도시개발과 하천복개공사로 지난 25년간, 평균수심 0.40m, 수표면적 $11,028m^2$, 수중체적 $2,207,884m^3$ 가량 침식되었다. 해빈지형은 지난 5년간, 평균고도 0.27m, 총면적 $6,501m^2$, 총체적 $25,667m^3$ 가량 퇴적되었다. 이의 원인은 지오그리드의 설치로 해빈모래가 서측까지 도달하지 못하고, 계절영향으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 해저 해빈지형의 정확한 측량작업으로 해안 및 지형변화에 관한 모니터링 작업을 실시하여 연안침식 현황을 분석하고, 양빈작업 및 안전한 해양레저 활동, 해수욕장 관리에 필요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the scour characteristics of artificial reef according to unreinforced and reinforced artificial reefs through laboratory test and numerical analysis. In this study, geogrid was used as a reinforcement of seabed. Three different reinforced areas were selected; one time, three times and five times bottom area of artificial reef. Two-dimensional water channel test was carried out to investigate scour patten of sand and silt grounds. Numerical analysis was also performed to see the velocity vector and scouring patten around artificial reef which was same condition with experiment. The numerical results were in good agreements with the experimental test results. It was found that the geogrid-installed soft ground under artificial reef tends to reduce scour, compared to unreinforced soft ground.

The grain growth is very important because of its great influence on the various materials properties. Therefore, in this study, the effects of anisotropic grain boundary energy on grain growth in 2-D have been investigated with a large scale phase field simulation model on PC. A $2000{\times}2000$ grid system and the initial number of grains of about 73,000 were used in the computer simulation. The anisotropic ratio of grain boundary energy, ${\sigma}_{max}/{\sigma}_{min}$, has been varied from 1 to 3. As the anisotropy increased, the grain growth exponent, n, increased from 2.05 to 2.37. The grain size distribution showed a central plateau in the isotropic case, and was changed into no central plateau and the increasing population of very small grains in the anisotropic case, resulting from slowly disappearing grains. Finally, simulated microstructures were compared according to anisotropy.
